Wentang

Chapter 251 Black Technology 2
In Longshoushan Academy, when Li Shimin was inspecting the compiling work of the Great Dictionary in Erya Building, a powerful man came to report the queen's invitation, and asked Qing Shuihou to go there together.

Li Shimin remained calm on the surface, but he began to think wildly in his heart.He knew his eldest grandson Wugou too well, and he would never bother him at such a time if there were no big things.

What happened to her?
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't stay any longer, and after a few words with Pei Ju and Li Gang, he hurriedly ended his inspection, called Shang Yueshan, and rushed to Yuefu.

As for Li Chengqian and Li Tai brothers, they were ruthlessly abandoned in the academy.But at this time, the two younger brothers just got together with the students of the academy, and they seemed quite happy to leave, and they didn't mind being 'abandoned' at all.

Yue Shan's house is only a few hundred meters away from the academy, and it only takes a few minutes to walk, but the anxious Li Shimin rode directly on his horse and rushed over at the fastest speed.

After entering the door, he found that the Yue Mansion was calm and calm, and realized that he might be different.I caught someone to ask and learned that everything was normal, Changsun Wugou was waiting for them in Yueshan's study.

Only then did he feel relieved, and let Yue Shan lead the way.

Now it was Yue Shan's turn to feel uneasy.

Knowing that Changsun Wugou was waiting in his study, he felt a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that the hidden compartment behind his bookshelf was discovered?

It shouldn't be, that dark grid is very secretive, how could she find out.

In this way, the two of them rushed all the way to the study in three steps at the same time, and Li Shimin's heart was completely relaxed when he saw his eldest grandson Wugou sitting there reading a book safe and sound.

But the first thing Yue Shan saw was the opened secret compartment and the picture scroll and books in Changsun Wugou's hands, and the last bit of luck in his heart was shattered.

"Guanyin maidservant, why are you calling us here in such a hurry?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Changsun Wugou first glanced at the dejected Yue Shan, and then said with a light smile: "Here are some books, saint, you will know the reason after reading them."

"Oh?" Li Shimin dragged a chair and sat casually beside the table, took a book and read it.

The cover of this book is written about technology, and he can't help but wonder, the word he recognizes is Yue Shan's, but what does the name mean?
When you turn the first page, the first thing you see is two words: gunpowder.

Gunpowder, what is this?I have only heard of herbal medicine but never heard of gunpowder. Could it be that fire can also be used as medicine?

But when he saw the introduction about gunpowder later, his expression changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, stared at Yue Shan closely and said, "This gunpowder...is it real?"

Yue Shan sighed, "Really."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"It's too dangerous. This thing should not be released before you really control the country." Yue Shan said.

"..." Li Shimin was taken aback, he didn't expect Yue Shan to give such an answer.

But thinking of the description about the power of gunpowder in the book, he also understood why Yue Shan was cautious, and agreed with his caution.

Indeed, this thing is too dangerous, and it is best not to take it out without a thorough grasp of the country.Even if it is made, a workshop must be set up in the safest place and guarded by the safest people.

"Does anyone else know about this?"

"No, I am the only one who knows everything in this book, and I have never told anyone."

"That's good." Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, then sat down again and continued to look behind.

The more you look at it, the more you will be surprised, because there are various uses of gunpowder behind.

Dynamite packs, rockets, bombs, cannons, muskets...

The first three are relatively simple things with complete production methods.Artillery and muskets are relatively simple, and words like "uncertain" are used in some places.

He also emphasized that these two weapons have high requirements on materials, and it is difficult to produce qualified weapons with the current level of metal smelting.

Yue Shan also only knew the structural diagrams of the most primitive types of guns, and because he didn't pay much attention to these diagrams when he first looked at them, he only remembered the outline.Some structures were even conjectured by him.

But he is not worried about whether these things can be created, or the same sentence, don't underestimate the wisdom of people in this era.As long as Yue Shan can point out the direction for them, primitive artillery and guns can still be made.

What really restricts these two weapons is the material problem.

After the gunpowder chapter comes the steel chapter.

Yue Shan first pointed out several major iron-producing centers in the country in later generations, and then how to make steel.The steelmaking technology he wrote is naturally not the later high-tech steelmaking method, but the indigenous steelmaking method.

The technology of indigenous steelmaking reached its peak in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are records of related technologies in history books, as well as the sketches of blast furnaces for indigenous steelmaking.

And the technology is not complicated at all, you can get a general idea at a glance, and there is no problem in restoring it.

In the eyes of modern people, indigenous steelmaking does not have any technical content, and no good steel can be produced, but for the Tang Dynasty, this is a black technology that crosses the age.

The iron production center pointed out by Yue Shan, combined with the steelmaking method, could increase the steel output of the Tang Dynasty by ten times or even dozens of times in a very short period of time.

With enough steel, both the military and the people's livelihood can achieve rapid development.The most important thing is that there is no problem in making primitive cannons and muskets with the steel refined by local methods.

With these things, Datang can completely widen the gap in strength with other countries and become the only one.By that time, it is really not impossible to co-lord the world.

Chapter 3 deals with the steam engine, the most primitive kind ever made by Watt.

But it's a pity that Yue Shan doesn't know anything about things. When he read the history books back then, he just glanced at them and didn't remember them in his heart.In addition, after so many years, I have long forgotten it.

He drew sketches based on guesswork and wrote down the principles.

Li Shimin didn't understand this aspect even more, and couldn't understand what was written at all.However, it can still be seen from the introduction later that this should be something similar to a wooden cow and a horse.

So he didn't know what the steam engine represented to human civilization at all, he just looked at it and turned over.

The fourth chapter is about ships and navies...

The book of science and technology is actually Yue Shan's record of some mechanical technologies that he knew that could be realized in the Tang Dynasty.After all, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen.

When the big house was not repaired before, he didn't dare to put pen and ink in order to prevent leaks, but now the house is heavily guarded and recorded it.

Why not use simplified Chinese characters...Chinese characters are so magical, no matter what dialect you speak in China, you can use Chinese characters to communicate, and you can even use Chinese characters to communicate with ancient people more than 1000 years ago.

Simplified characters are also simplified on the basis of traditional characters, and you can still guess what it means.Using Chinese Pinyin... there are too many polyphonic characters, and it is not convenient to write.

In addition, he is used to writing Chinese characters of the Tang Dynasty, and he feels at ease about the safety of his family, so he uses Tang Chinese characters to write.

It's just a pity that the eldest grandson Wugou still found out what was hidden so tightly.
