Villager of Daming

Chapter 1123 Technology Improves Animal Hope
"One day, we will arrive at this time tomorrow. It is a thousand miles away. Our big steam engine ship can run twenty kilometers an hour. At normal speed, it can be faster."

Xu Da gave the answer. He had to follow and take the army on board. Twenty thousand elite troops had already passed by, and there were still twenty thousand on this side.

Including the prince's bodyguards, craftsmen, maids, eunuchs, and officials, there were more than 54,000 people.

The weapons of the prince's team are naturally the best. Other armies also use rear-loading flintlock paper shell guns!
When the palace guards came out, someone also had the same gun. They made it while walking behind. After making it, they immediately chased it and sent it to the front to change the armor of the guards.

The replaced guns were given to local troops passing by. Some of them did not participate in the Northern Expedition. Their weapons were still bows and arrows, spears, broadswords, shields, and improved firecrackers.

The improved fire blunderbuss is indeed more powerful than before, but it is far inferior to the flintlock gun. The range and reloading speed are completely different.

Moreover, the fire blunderbuss was heavy and had a high copper content, so it just happened to be repackaged and shipped back for melting. In terms of cost alone, the court would make money by replacing a gun.

With the flintlock, the previous large shields and armor were no longer needed, including leather armor, and bows and arrows no longer needed to be manufactured in large quantities.

Niujin, leather, etc. are all saved.

"It's really fast. Just two days to go back and forth? Remember it used to take several days!"

Looking at it this way, it would take at most five days to get here from Nanjing by sea, not counting the time for loading and unloading the ship.

When local technology becomes higher, those places will become local, otherwise they will rebel.

Zhu Ping didn't care about changing clothes. He thought about the time for the ships to come and go.

“Technology is always improving gradually. At the beginning, people were afraid that things would break and they were not proficient in using them.

In the next period of time, we cannot let the people of Ming Dynasty stay outside for a long time, nor can we squeeze them hard..."

The chief took over and talked about Ming's plan for sailing outside.

Now that the people responsible for adding coal know the best amount of coal to add under what circumstances, they are more relaxed.

There are still a lot of places outside that we have never been to and are rich in resources. Only by occupying them can we provide blood transfusion to the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to eat lychees, five days is enough to bring them back from Fujian. If they are edible, the lychees that have been preserved for five days can be eaten. Just pick them when they are green, refrigerate them with the ice you brought, and then transport them back to Nanjing.

The more convenient the transportation, the more stable the centralization of power, the less likely the colonists will be independent, of course, provided that they are not equipped with weapons.

They are all said by idiots. There is a prerequisite for colonization, which is to ensure that one's own country has sufficient technological differences, especially in the military.

The captain slowly talked about different responses to different situations. Because there were wind and waves, the ship rocked violently. This was not a very big ship. The ship was too big to use sails.

At the same time, we cannot allow people to go there immediately to marry and have children. Otherwise, after a few generations, when we want those people to provide cheap goods to our homeland again, they will not agree.

Last year, we used small steam engines to transport supplies along the way. That was faster, but the quantity transported each time was small.

In the future, the scale of Daming Shipyard will only become larger and larger, and the number will also increase.

The ships that went out to sea to distant places were better than the ships now. Even though His Majesty was impatient, he did not go there to provide better protection for the soldiers.

To divert other people's attention by telling them 'stories', the story must first be attractive.

"What do kangaroos and koalas look like? I remember seeing them." Zhu Fan suddenly said.

Xie Qiaoer looked forward to it and wanted to take a look. Do you have any pictures?
"That's it! I've already prepared it!" Ling'er took out the brochure, which was drawn by Brother Hanhan. He showed it to Xie Qiaoer first, and then copied it slowly later. He couldn't give her the original manuscript, or if he had it printed when he got home. In Nanjing, there are already many images of animals and plants from various places, including corn, tomatoes, beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins...

How about the team that sets out to find the seeds knows what it looks like? Including seeds. I didn’t see anything in the growing stage when I went to the place. I need to know that there are seeds.

In addition, what is poisonous and must not be touched? How to remove the rubber from the rubber tree and process it simply.

It's normal for the pythons in the forest there to be two or three feet long. Don't be surprised if they are more than four feet long. Just hide for a while. Some things hide in dark places and are poisonous.

For some venomous snakes, you need to identify the species of the antivenom you bring and look at the picture, and...

Zhu Fan had naturally seen pictures of kangaroos and koalas. He asked the future Princess Jin that Xie Qiaoer's father's status was not high enough and Xu Yihua was not able to contact Xiaqiu Village in Nanjing.

These albums will also be given to the people of Liaodu Guard to see how vast the world outside is.

Xie Qiaoer, who had never seen such a painting before, was instantly attracted. The painting was a colorful meticulous painting.

It is easy for Zhu Wentian. He can draw a picture in a while. He does not need to consider any outstanding features and grasp the light. He is not taking a test.

During the exam, even if it is a sketch, according to the kind of drawing, even if the drawing looks like a photo, you will not actually get a high score.

The people who rate the products look at the characteristics. If they look at the same things, they will immediately distinguish them.

The highest state of sketching is to draw from morning to night. It is not that people draw all day long, but the light and shadow of the same scenery at different times. The light in the morning is different from that in the evening.

Those people no longer pursue the issue of whether the painting looks like it or not, but rather the basic skills.

Xie Qiaoer had never seen such a painting technique before. Looking at the animals, she fell in love with koalas.

"Sister Ling'er, this koala is so fun." Xie Qiaoer pointed to several koala paintings and said with a smile.

"Like the giant pandas and red pandas we captured in Nanjing and released in the village zoo, they look very cute, but the red pandas are okay, and the giant pandas are stupid.

Not as smart as a dog! He can't teach anything, and he is always causing trouble and biting people.

If it weren't for her cuteness, beautiful eye circles, and roundness after gaining weight, I really wouldn't want to keep her. "

Ling'er looked at the koala and felt that the giant panda was cuter. Except for its low IQ, it was good in other aspects.

It can be felt that cats and dogs know how to act based on people's faces, but giant pandas don't care about that, and they don't care what they say.

When you look at a cat, does it dare to show its claws? Even if it pats you, it has to retract its paws to pat you. Dogs never dare to bare their teeth at their owners, because anything like that becomes dog meat.

"Can I catch this thing too? I want one."

Xie Qiaoer feels that owning one or a pair of koalas is not a high requirement. She is the future Princess Jin.

"I'm not going there now! I'm going to another place. I'll look for seeds there first, and when I get back, I'll arrange for manpower to go here. It eats eucalyptus leaves, and we have to find a way to plant eucalyptus trees. Not all eucalyptus trees it eats."

Ling'er said that they could wait, but not now, the team had all run away, and His Majesty was afraid that Xiaqiu Village would stop him, so he let them go secretly.
