Of course Wang Hongyu knew that Hongyi Cannon was powerful.
We have already started preparations with Liu Ruoyu, Xu Guangqi, Li Tiezhu and others.
Now that Jinnige has proposed it, it is just a good idea to let the foreigners contribute to the drawings.
When the blueprint was mentioned, Jinni Pavilion was fine, but other missionaries not far away suddenly looked strange.
This is of course reminiscent of the fact that they used blueprints of bastions and galleons in exchange for the "Great Ming" to squeeze out the Dutch.
At this time, they were afraid that talking about the blueprints was because the Dutch would cause trouble again.
However, Wang Hongyu planned to use the Damorysk Sword of the Dutchmen in the future, but now that he has used it too much, the effect is not good.
"What Mr. Jin Nige said is true. I want to recruit some craftsmen from Haojing'ao and Luzon to specialize in building heavy artillery for the navy."
"Okay, some of these people have been with Huang Kezuan before. We will definitely find them in the future, and we will also make some suggestions."

The matter of the Hongyi cannon has been initially negotiated.
Although the cannons built by the previous uncles and nephews of the Lu family cannot reach the weight of the Hongyi cannon, they can still participate in its manufacture.
Jinni Ge seemed to have not finished speaking, and smiled mysteriously at Wang Hongyu: "Mr. Tolkien, I have good news for you."
Wang Hongyu knew that when he said good news, he was definitely not joking: "Oh? That must be a good thing."
"That's right, let me introduce you to a person. He is a Shaanxi scholar. He is taking the imperial examination in Beijing, but he became my disciple. Now he is especially interested in mathematics, geometry, and mechanics."
"oh?"
With such a description, Wang Hongyu thought of a person.
Wang Zheng.
Jinni Ge introduced: "Wang Zheng, I believe he will become your right-hand man Tolkien."
Sure enough~
Wang Zheng also came to the scene.
The two of them walked up to a scribe who was of average stature, appearance, and physique. He seemed to have no distinguishing features and could not be found in a crowd.
When you get closer, you can see that his beard is slightly long and he looks about forty or fifty years old. Although he looks like an ordinary person from a distance, when you get closer, you can see that his eyes are bright and intelligent.
"Mr. Wang Zheng, I have wanted to know you for a long time." Wang Hongyu is a junior. Although he has a high position, he still takes the initiative to say hello to Wang Zheng, a commoner.
"General Wang, I heard that you are particularly interested in industry?"
"That's right."
Jin Ni Ge took advantage of the opportunity and said: "You are all named Wang, and according to Eastern parlance, you are called the family. You will definitely be able to achieve great results together."
Several people communicated.
Wang Hongyu went south to Yunyang this time, intending to use the field of science to develop the cultural, production and economic conditions within his jurisdiction.
This is inseparable from mathematics, geometry, and mechanics. Moreover, it is necessary to build a library, print books and open a bookstore, which also requires talented translators. To translate from Western to Chinese and from Chinese to Western, Wang Xi is very suitable for this.
Wang Zheng readily agreed.
Although his father was a scholar, he liked "miscellaneous studies" in the eyes of rotten scholars such as Jiuzhang arithmetic. This had a direct impact on his later enthusiasm for studying Western science and technology and engaging in inventions and creations.
….
He has lived and studied in his maternal grandfather's house since he was seven years old. He has had a close relationship with his maternal grandfather's family since he was a child. His uncle Zhang Jiannai was a famous Confucian scholar in Guanzhong.
In the 22nd year of Wanli, Wang Zheng passed the imperial examination. Before becoming an official, he devoted himself to writing books and lecturing in his hometown, studying Neo-Confucianism, and began to engage in the improvement and discovery of some agricultural tools and daily utensils.
Wang Zheng has never passed the Jinshi exam, but he is not too worried now, because true talent and learning are more important than fame.
On the contrary, some missionaries advised him to take the exam and let him become an official, so as to help promote their things.
However, Wang Hongyu and Jin Nige also suggested that it was not because of this, but because they hoped that Wang Zheng could gain more say and influence in the exchanges between the East and the West.

After preliminary communication, it was agreed that Wang Zheng would participate in Wang Hongyu's plan.
Including following the industry, translating books, theoretical exchanges, and promoting the friendship between Ming Dynasty and Rome.
Wang Hongyu's strong army also pleased Wang Zheng.
Because the Ming Dynasty had such a strong army, rather than the west being stronger than the east, it gave him a stronger inner confidence and sense of honor, and he would not be led away by missionaries.
Wang Hongyu thought carefully about the records about Wang Zheng.
Historically, in the sixth year of Tianqi's reign, he assisted Jinnige in writing the book "Xi Ru Er Mu Zi", which was my country's first linguistics monograph with Roman phonetic notation.
Later, together with the famous scientist Deng Yuhan, he compiled "Pictures of Strange Weapons of the Far West", which was published in the seventh year of Tianqi. This book mainly describes the knowledge of statics in ancient Western and Renaissance periods, including geocentrism, the center of gravity and its solution, and finding the volume of water. Floating body volume, specific gravity, simple machines and their combined use.
"Pictures of Strange Weapons of the Far West" is China's first compiled work on Western mechanics.
Wang Zheng made great contributions to the spread of modern science and the promotion of cultural exchanges. He was sometimes called "Xu Guangqi in the south and Wang Zheng in the north".
Wang Hongyu suddenly thought of an interesting thing.
The Wang Zheng in front of me can be regarded as the first person in mechanics in the East before modern times.
Although the Ming Dynasty was not as good as Europe in this regard, European mechanics had only accumulated some achievements in the classical period. During the Renaissance, Leonardo da Vinci carried forward his engineering achievements. After the Great Navigation, Galileo Galilei only theoretically realized who created the science of mechanics.
In other words, if Wang Zheng can learn mechanics with a group of people, the gap will be very limited.
Therefore, Wang Zheng’s contribution is indispensable when overtaking on a curve.
Just now we were talking about theory. In terms of engineering skills, Wang Zheng was also ranked among the top five in the late Ming Dynasty.
As for the person who is the best in craftsmanship, he is the emperor~
Wang Zheng, who ranks in the top five, is the first person to invent the bicycle in China.
But this bike is not that bike.
His "Pictures of Strange Weapons of the Far West" introduces the invented bicycle as follows:
"A cart travels on four wheels. The front two wheels each have an axle, and the axle has no teeth. The rear two wheels are twice as tall as the front wheels, and they have one axle. The wheels are on the axle, and there are six teeth in the axle. They are all made of solid iron. To do this, four urging wheels are hung on the shaft teeth...
The heavier it is, the faster it travels. If it is not heavy, it will not be able to move. If the weight is exhausted, there will be an opportunity to help it go up. If it encounters an uneven and difficult place, there will be another half wheel of urging rod to urge it. If it is called flow, Horses are like horses. Their skills are difficult to write down.
In short, it does not have the name of a wooden ox, but it has a practical function; it can be used to ride people or to transport heavy objects. People and heavy objects are used to correct the movement of clouds and ears. I once made a small prototype that can move three feet on its own..."
In short, this is a four-wheeled vehicle that uses a geared four-wheel-drive structure, and is roughly driven by spring and torque. It uses the gravity of people or cargo to twist the spring, so that it can really walk on its own.
This thing was really invented as a large "toy".
Wang Hongyu wants to give him some guidance to create two-wheeled bicycles for future generations.
"By the way, does Mr. Liangfu have any ideas for inventing equipment, especially bicycles?"
Liangfu is Wang Zheng's character. After getting to know him, it is best to call him by his character instead of his name.
"Yes!" Wang Zheng's eyes were shining, he was very motivated.
