golden scales

Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng were standing in the courtyard and talking about the drawings, they didn't mind the bitter and entangled faces of Min Ziruo and Lu Suyao. .

The administrative area of ​​the technical college is just a three-entry house, and the news from the outside quickly spread inside.After a while, another middle-aged man joined the discussion. He was only in his thirties, but he was eloquent and quick-witted.

With the aid of a charcoal pencil, the trio modified the Sail Powder Airboat into a thermally buoyant, wind-steered, aerial juggernaut with cannons—really cannons—on board.Looking at that posture, it looks like three naughty children are playing an interesting thing.

"It's really not possible, you don't need this cannon." The middle-aged man finally compromised: "Look, if it's a plum-blossom airbag, the four surrounding ones give an oblique force, which may be canceled out. Good novel:. "

"What is counteracted is the force of pulling in a diagonal direction, and the force of upward lift will not be counteracted." Song Yingxing reacted very quickly, not at all like an old man approaching sixty years old.

The young man drew a sketch on the picture, but shook his head and said: "The key to this thing is the lift. If the plum blossom airbags are distributed up and down, will it be more powerful? As long as the force is offset, it will be a waste of heat after all." .”

"Put the stove directly in the air bag." Wang Zheng said: "The air bag is then sealed to prevent the hot air from escaping. This is the best way."

"The hanging basket can be even lighter." Song Yingxing said, "Is there anything that is lighter than oil vines and can bear weight?"

"Sheepskin!" said the middle-aged man, "there is a sheepskin raft on the Yellow River instead of a ferry. A sheepskin binds the four legs tightly. It can float on the water after being blown into it. Even if it is placed on flat ground, even one or two adults can't break it. "

"Good, if this is lighter and tougher than rattan wood..." Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing praised.

"Build one."

Zhu Cihong finally found the opportunity to insert, and made a final decision.

In the blink of an eye.The entire courtyard seemed to be still, without a single noise.

Min Ziruo and Lu Suyao looked at the monster on the blueprint together, not believing: this thing can really fly?

"However, before making this one, let's make a simpler one first." Zhu Cihong stepped forward to take a charcoal pencil, talked a few strokes and drew a hot air balloon that he knew, and said: "Use the anchor to hold it, and float in the air to be the enemy Building use. Don’t add anything, as long as it can take a person to fly.”

"Well, I don't see any difficulty. I'm afraid it's easier than being a revolving door." Song Yingxing took it and looked at it.Said: "I will go to the workshop outside the city in the afternoon. I will make stoves and hanging baskets. But I am afraid that the airbags will be purchased from the private sector."

"Money is not a problem." Zhu Cihong said generously, "Give as much as you want, as long as this one flies, Mr. Song can build that... floating castle."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your success!" Song Yingxing bowed to the end: "Your Highness, who came to you before. I can't be redeemed if I die, but I suffer from insufficient funds, so I have to make this plan." He had mentioned this idea before Wang Zheng, but because Wang Zheng If you refuse to set up a project and give money, you can only put it on the shelf.Hearing that the crown prince came to the academy in person, Song Yingxing decided to take a risk.

With the high foresight of the prince, even if he does not support it, he should not blame him.

Zhu Ciwang looked at Wang Zheng and said, "Mr. Wang, if you don't have enough silver, you can tell me. I think if this thing can be made, it will be a military weapon!"

"Your Highness." Wang Zheng leaned forward and said, "Now Shandong is full of hungry people, and I heard that His Highness is buying food everywhere. Even if there is a golden mountain, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand such consumption. I thought, even if this thing can be made, it will cost a lot of money. If it can’t be done, it’s a waste of money. It’s better to let it go first and wait for the situation to stabilize before approving the project.”

——The possibility of this thing being successful is probably lower than the possibility of me traveling back.

Zhu Cilang shook his head and said: "Mr. Wang, even if it fails, the money is not in vain: at least next time you don't have to go wrong, and it will also serve as a warning for other projects. If you can figure out why you can't succeed, then the money will be spent again." More is worth it. Besides, even if this floating fortress can't be built, the experience accumulated for making this fortress and other improved technologies are also beneficial to the country."

"So," Zhu Cihong looked around, "in the future, Mr. Wang, Mr. Song, and this..."

"Your Highness, forgive me!" The middle-aged man hurriedly prostrated himself: "Fang Yizhi, who is being reviewed by the Hanlin Academy, pays my respects to Your Highness."

"Hmm! Fang Yizhi..." Zhu Ciwang looked at Wang Zheng, and he couldn't say a thousand words.He originally thought that he had caught the only two remaining great scientists in the late Ming Dynasty, and that God had opened his eyes, and the sky is always changing... Unexpectedly, Fang Yizhi also sent him to his door!

This scholar, who wrote more than [-] million words in his life, has written in literature, Neo-Confucianism, Yixue, translation, history, philosophy, religion, geography, medicine, physics, astronomy, meteorology, military affairs, calligraphy... almost all the current disciplines , have promoted achievements, other book friends are reading:.

The one who can be compared with Fang Yizhi in the entire Ming Dynasty is another all-round talent, Fu Shan and Fu Qingzhu.When Zhu Cihong was in Shanxi, he originally wanted to find him, but he had already gone to Li Jiantai's Muzhong first.As Li Jiantai retreated to Baoding, Fu Shan also lost news.

"Fang Censor is the son of Fang Kongzhang, the former governor of Huguang, and he has a close relationship with Tang Ruowang." Wang Zhengdao: "From a minister's point of view, Fang Censor really has the ability to understand the world, so he is enshrined as a professor."

Zhu Cihong almost blurted out: Why didn't you tell me earlier!

However, he is still a little sober at last, knowing that the appointment of officials is all determined by default, which is more like the contract system of later generations. He recruits people by himself for everything he wants to do.So if Zhu Cihong didn't come to inspect, he might have to wait for the results of his research before he would know that bright stars like Song Yingxing and Fang Yizhi were under his command.

Well, there is also Tang Ruowang.

"Where's Tang Ruowang?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Tang Ruowang went to the artillery factory the day before yesterday, and it seems that there has been progress there." Wang Zhengdao: "Now there are only three professors in the college, so everyone has several doors and runs around."

"Send some good donkeys to the college." Zhu Cihong said to Min Ziruo, and then turned to Wang Zheng: "Sir, in the future, as long as one of you and the three professors proposes a project, the project can be established, but the priority of the project needs to be discussed and decided. If the silver taels are insufficient, just report it to me and let me know."

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was so persistent, Wang Zheng couldn't say anything more.

Zhu Cilang looked up at the sun and said, "Sirs, let's have a light meal together. By the way, Mr. Song, your official robe is..."

Song Yingxing said hastily, "Weichen is currently the magistrate of Bozhou, Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili."

"Bozhou..." Zhu Cihuang's mind turned, it was in the northwest of Nanzhi, thousands of miles away from here, "How did you get to Laizhou?"

"My minister was enlisted in the camp by Governor Feng, and this time he was ordered to meet the emperor, but he has not been summoned." Song Yingxing said without any regrets, obviously because he was not thinking about leaving in the Technical College.

"Ma Shiying, governor of Fengyang? Why did he send you to see the emperor?" Zhu Cihong asked curiously, looking at Lu Suyao, even more curious that he didn't know about it.

"This..." Song Yingxing hesitated a little, and said, "I'm just a follower, and I don't know much about it. Your Highness can call Zhan Shijiang Riguang to deal with it."

Zhu Cihong gave a meaningful "Oh".He didn't know much about historical celebrities in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in the Southern Ming Dynasty, when all kinds of people appeared on the stage one after another, the emperor changed quickly, and the ministers changed quickly. If it is not a professional, who can remember clearly?However, he remembered this Jiang Riguang in his previous life.

Jiang Yueguang participated in the welcome of Fu Fan, and Hong Guangchao entered the cabinet as a great scholar.At that time, people called him, Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu together as "the three sages of Nanzhong".Later, he was squeezed out by Ma Shiying, begged for rest, and wrote the first-hand historical material "Seven Things About Crossing the River". Finally, he joined forces with Jin Shenghuan to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and was defeated and drowned to death.

This scribe, who was supposed to write and talk in the Nanjing Imperial Academy, actually got involved with Ma Shiying, and traveled all the way to Laizhou to ask for an audience. It seems that the party struggle in the south of the Yangtze River has begun again.

"Your Highness..." Lu Suyao stepped forward to ask for instructions softly.

"Eat first, and then go to the martial arts hall." Zhu Cilang paused, and then said: "Send a message to Wu Sheng to entertain Jiang Yueguang."

Lu Suyao retreated in response, not daring to breathe.
