Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Then a series of tools such as vernier calipers, protractors, and compasses were also produced along with Zhang Nuo's rapid progress on the road to industrialization.

As for tools, you can know whether they are easy to use, and as long as they are useful tools, they don’t need to be popularized by the court at all, and they will spread by themselves, let alone there are schools of all sizes in Lantian City.

Zhang Nuo bought a large number of tools to all the schools, not only for the students to operate them, but also for them to be familiar with these new measurement units.

Among them, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households are the most popular for these things. God knows how long they have been complaining about those old-fashioned measuring tools that are difficult to calculate and full of errors.

It was precisely these improvements and changes in various aspects that finally replaced the cannon that didn't look very delicate in front of Zhang Nuo.

If you look at this gun from its appearance, it is actually the red coat cannon of later generations, a very primitive front-loading gun, and its weight is extremely astonishing.

But as far as it is concerned, this is already the acme created by Zhang Nuo under semi-artificial and semi-industrial conditions. The real rear-mounted artillery can only be mass-produced after full industrialization.

However, even if there is only this seemingly primitive red cannon, for Zhang Nuo at present, it is enough to become a big weapon for him to attack the city and destroy the enemy.

After all, his opponent is just an old-fashioned stone city wall. He still understands the reason why the quality is not enough and the quantity is not enough, so let's take it easy!

Chapter 451 The Scientist Named Jin He

Originally, Zhang Nuo didn't intend to get the artillery out so early, because in his opinion, the artillery without explosive bullets is only useful in sieges and naval battles, and the effect is actually not good for cavalry and infantry charging at high speed. Very good.

It can't be said that it didn't work, it's just that the solid big iron ball hit it, and it felt like it was a loss no matter what.

This is actually a very real problem in the early days of the emergence of thermal weapons. If artillery and muskets had not continued to improve through the efforts of businessmen, scientists, etc., and their power was getting stronger and stronger, this power alone would have It's really useless when the two armies are fighting.

Zhang Nuo thought the same way before, but when he slowly studied the map of Koryo, he felt that there was something wrong.

Originally, he thought that it would be enough to bring back the remains of the soldiers who conquered Goryeo during the Sui Dynasty and the Three Conquests, but after thinking about it again, they were all gone, why not just make some other news?

According to Zhang Nuo's hometown, it's all here!

This statement applies to playing cards, drinking, eating, and certain things about 404, but sometimes I have to admit that this statement is really justified.

Zhang Nuo thought the same way at that time. He had already traveled thousands of miles to Korea, and he brought thousands of younger brothers with him. Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss to bring some ashes back after fighting several battles?

From the perspective of time and material costs, it is undoubtedly a very loss. After all, it is not a trivial matter to lead thousands of troops to Korea, and the resources consumed are not a star.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo thought about it later, anyway, he didn't think about keeping the country of Korea, so why couldn't it just be destroyed?

That's right, Zhang Nuo changed his mind. From the very beginning, he just wanted to get back the ashes and remains of the fallen soldiers, and now he has turned into a war to destroy the country.

Although this goal is a bit big, even in the eyes of many people, it is unbelievable, but in Zhang Nuo's view, as long as it is caught by surprise, there is actually a chance.

And the artillery is the "surprise"!

Although this thing is very primitive and stupid, it is really effective against huge immovable dead objects like the existing city walls.

Then this would be interesting, since he has someone fighting in his hands and has the means to deal with the city wall, why not go in and make a fortune?

You must know that as a peninsula country, it can last for so many years, and it can still have the strength to fight against the Central Plains dynasty after many years of seclusion. This is not an easy thing.

To be able to achieve this level, in addition to being a powerful leader, there is another big problem, and that is resources!

And it's not just a little bit of resources, it's enough resources for a country to retreat and develop for hundreds of years!

That's right, that's it!

Without the support of large sums of resources buried underground, why does a small peninsula country like Goryeo build so many weapons and armor? You must know that resources will not appear for nothing.

Therefore, based on Zhang Nuo's information exchanged from the system, Korea is undoubtedly rich in minerals.

Not to mention the means and power to attack, but at this time there is a reason to attack, and there are still interests, so for Zhang Nuo, the country of Koryo is just a word, you will not die!

That's right, in Zhang Nuo's view, since he has this idea and the ability to take care of the country, why not do it, the benefits contained in it alone are enough for him to do it once.

Not to mention, after the country is wiped out, millions of strong laborers can be transformed into a new force for mining, which means that Zhang Nuo can implement his steam engine plan ahead of schedule.

After all, he can set up the entire Koryo Peninsula as a heavy industrial zone, where raw material collection, smelting, and casting are all placed.

The existence of a large amount of free labor and raw materials can definitely make his plan go up to a new level in an instant.

Moreover, with the resource bank of Goryeo, his artillery and musket update plan can also be put on the agenda, and the entire Datang army will undergo earth-shaking changes by then.

Interesting to think about!

But now, Datang's first artillery has appeared before his eyes.

According to Zhang Nuo's information, it was a craftsman named Jin He who made this cannon. Zhang Nuo had never seen such a person in history, but it was such an inconspicuous person who understood Zhang Nuo's information the fastest. And got the artillery out in the shortest time.

Even without Zhang Nuo's knowledge, they have done several experiments, and the results seem to be pretty good.

When Zhang Nuo heard the news, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. In his opinion, even if Jin He failed to leave his name in the long river of history, with his support at this time, it would definitely be different.

After all, he has the most precious qualities of a scientist or an inventor, boldness and carefulness!

Any great scientist or inventor who left his name in history is undoubtedly courageous, and only courageous people will look for other knowledge on the existing basis.

At the same time, only careful people will discover some new things that others cannot discover in some unimaginable or fleeting details.

And Jin He is such a person. Originally, he was only a craftsman who was good at the casting part of the research institute, but when Zhang Nuo called them together to tackle the artillery project, his special made him stand out.

When everyone else was diving into how to make the barrel stronger, more durable, and cool down, he turned his head to study chemistry, so as to systematically understand what artillery and gunpowder are.

He didn't simply listen to other people's introductions, but started his own research from scratch.

This is indeed not an easy task for a person who has never touched chemistry before.

However, it has to be said that as long as a genius has the opportunity, it will inevitably shine.
