Chapter 283: Divine Object

Bo Jue thanked him so much, but his contribution surprised Ma Cheng and almost fell under the table. What did I see? The lenses and several lenses were put in a mahogany box.

The middle-aged boy was presented with his hands with both hands. Ma Cheng almost dropped his chin. He had wanted to build a telescope but was unable to create a high-quality lens, so he accidentally got the lens!

Sun Yuanhua also said mysteriously: "Brother Kaicheng, you don't know anything. This thing is quite magical. You can tell it by just a try."

Ma Cheng suppressed his excitement and took out a lens. The transparency was only slightly stronger than the glass made in the capital's glass field, but it was a serious lens!

He resisted his excitement and asked softly: "Bo Jue, do you have fame?"

The vulgar middle-aged boy said embarrassedly: "If you want to know, I will be the county school student."

Ma Cheng breathed out a sigh of relief and said, "Follow me."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the military battle yamen.

The vulgar Tong Sheng gently placed the bracket on the table and skillfully installed the concave lens and convex lens into a copper tube. Just by looking at his skillful movement, he knew that this primitive monocular telescope was the one who personally took the lead.

Macheng's heart was filled with storms. In history, a man named Bo Jue made a telescope in the Ming Dynasty. There seems to be no record in the official history, or it is not famous for its records.

However, the fact in front of him was that this middle-aged boy named Bo Jue really built a monocular telescope, and this person was still Sun Yuanhua's fellow countryman! How many things are there in Ming Dynasty? Such a valuable achievement has not been achieved.

It’s really damn it. This is the first telescope made in China! Bo Jue quickly handed over the monocular telescope and timidly introduced its usage and functions.

Ma Cheng was surprised, and after trying it, he knew it. The magnification of the most primitive monocular telescope was about four times, which was similar to that of children's toys in later generations. However, the significance represented by this object is very important, which represents the Ming Dynasty.

The highest achievement of Chao Physics is also the military weapon that Ma Cheng has always longed for. A four-fold magnification mirror is used to observe the enemy situation, and the improvement of artillery technology is too effective.

Sun Yuanhua said proudly: "How about this thing, it should be a powerful weapon for the country."

Ma Cheng sincerely exclaimed: "This is a divine object from heaven, and our Ming Dynasty will still have hundreds of years of national destiny."

Sun Yuanhua didn't expect his evaluation to be so high, and said in surprise: "It won't be, open the city."

Ma Cheng lowered his voice and said, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if this object was placed on the cannon?"

Sun Yuanhua and Bo Jue shivered and were stunned, and they were stunned. They obviously thought that if they could install a thousand-mile mirror for the cannon, wouldn’t it just put a thousand-mile eye for the cannon? Ma Cheng was also very happy.

Of course, it is impossible to study artillery mirrors in this era. This object is installed on cannons and can only play a simple observation role. However, this is the correct direction for the development of artillery in later generations. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not perish, cannons will be built one day

Team mirror.

This time I really found a treasure. Bo Jue is an expert in optical instruments. Such a great figure is actually unknown in history. Ma Cheng is very angry. Such an awesome person is not as famous as the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai.

It was simply outrageous. This person should have made a great reputation. He immediately rewarded 100 taels of silver for officials, one house, ten maids and servants, and was awarded the eighth-rank new army's manuscripts and office positions, and stayed in the new army camp to listen to it.

Sun Yuanhua grinned and said congratulations, but Bo Jue cried with joy and finally became a superior.

The good man in Macheng arranged a team of soldiers to go to Jiangnan to pick up his family, so he hurriedly took the Qianli Mirror into the palace to offer treasures. The highest achievement of Daming's optical physics. The emperor was overjoyed when he got the Qianli Mirror, and held it in his hand and played with it carefully, and then he ordered the man to do it.

He summoned Bo Tongsheng to the West Garden and encouraged him to make a large number of this Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile and distributed it to the front line army as soon as possible. I think Sun Chengzong and his front line soldiers should be very fond of this thing.

After sending Bo Tongsheng away, the emperor praised: "This Western learning does have its own advantages."

Ma Cheng said happily: "The emperor is wise, this Western learning is like a meat bun with poison, which has both magical features and deceptive poison."

The emperor said proudly: "It is not worth worrying about how much poison can bring my world."

Ma Cheng made a few compliments at the right time, this is the emperor's demeanor. You cannot close the door just because the missionaries bewitch people's hearts. The advanced technology and advanced science that Western missionaries do bring. This is what the emperor has tasted.

It’s a sweet thing. A master and apprentice Xu Guangqi can create sharp foreign cannons, and a child who is proficient in Western learning can create a thousand-mile mirror. The wisdom of the wise is so higher than that of the Westerners.

In this way, the young emperor's attitude towards Western missionaries became firm. He accepted his skills, criticized his doctrines, and criticized such things. He would do it for him. He left the Xiyuan and returned to Miyun, and suddenly found dozens of them in front of a small church.

The famous scholar was blocking the door and arguing with the missionaries, but he still got entangled when he saw the personal soldiers and horses. Macheng simply stopped watching, and found it funny. The scholar who was full of words and the missionaries who had only a slight understanding of Chinese language were like chickens and ducks.

What are you talking about? Dozens of people are quarreling very fiercely but can’t speak, and they all speak their own words.

Ma Cheng couldn't help laughing. It was time to talk about these missionaries who learned the saliva skills of the Ming literati. But this scene seems to be eternal. In a few hundred years, it might be a precious oil painting, representing the Ming literati and the West.

The first debate of the missionaries. It was just that the poor missionaries wanted to convince these stubborn scholars, which was a fool. He asked Qianhu, a Jinyiwei stationed nearby, to give a few instructions, and only debate was allowed not to hit people.

Those who dare to do it are all sent to jail.

In the camp, a battalion of five hundred musketeers who have chosen thousands of people are practicing.

The five hundred Zhili children are tall and strong men. Most of them have been to private schools for a few years. They are also the essence of the new army. They are regarded as carefully trained by subordinate officers. The elite soldiers of the battalion line up, load up, and raise guns. From time to time, they are

It is difficult to form a military force for a heavy-core gun battalion. The more than 20-pound musket is too heavy and too long, and it is very inconvenient to work, because the Ming people are generally shorter than Westerners and have power.

Small.

After verification, Ma Cheng finally knew why the heavy-duty collide gun, that is, the turtledove-legged gun, was not popularized on a large scale in the late Ming Dynasty. The difficulty of manufacturing was only one reason. Another important reason was the physical fitness of Ming people, and they wanted to mess with this Western thing.

It's so hard, this is a firearm tailored for the Westerners. It's like letting a short rifleman fiddle with a counter equipment rifle, which must be trained for a long time.

This thing needs to be supported by a wooden stick when shooting, and also requires extremely strong arm strength to be successfully fired. Despite this, this Western-style mesh gun with inconvenient operation is still the only choice for the new army, just like the Chinese army in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, it had to choose.
