The shells were being fired one after another. //Visit to download txt novels//The whole test process was quite boring at the time. The artillery was constantly adjusting its angle to determine the best shooting angle. However, a group of officers still watched with interest.
Well. There are too few entertainment activities in this military camp, so we might as well come and watch the fun.
When Wu Shigong saw that it was troublesome to adjust and record the angle of the artillery, he came up with the idea of making a protractor similar to modern ones. The production of this protractor was not complicated at all. According to Wu Shigong's idea, the craftsmen in the Henan Army quickly made it
Out.
However, after having the protractor, it did bring great convenience to adjust the angle of the artillery. So for Wu Shigong's wonderful idea, the officers of the Runing camp were all flattering. Wu Shigong was enjoying the flattery while thinking happily.
: "I didn't expect that it was quite easy to be a genius in the Ming Dynasty, right?"
Another relatively big problem is the level of artillery positions. With so much manpower, the Henan Army has no problem leveling an artillery position.
But there is a problem here. There is no guarantee that this flat artillery position is parallel to the horizontal plane. You must know that this is a mountainous area. If the artillery is set up on a tilted artillery position, the shooting of the artillery will be deviated due to the tilt of the firing angle.
.However, it is impossible to observe with the naked eye whether the artillery position is parallel to the horizontal plane.
Finally, a craftsman solved this problem. He used a large piece of flat wood to lay on the artillery position, and then dripped water in the middle of the board. If the water droplets did not roll, it proved that the artillery position was basically parallel to the horizontal plane.
In fact, this is the prototype of the modern spirit level.
Seeing that this problem was solved, Wu Shigong was overjoyed and rewarded the craftsman fifty taels of silver. This made everyone very motivated, so all the minor problems in the future were solved one by one after collective efforts. Of course.
Wu Shigong also later gave various rewards to those who had made meritorious services.
Finally, after two days of testing, the results of the test were finally obtained. Because the mountain was too steep, the three-pound artillery in the Runing camp could not be transported up the mountain, and the power of the one-pound artillery was too small, so this time the direct fire was
The rebel ships used the four two-pound guns.
After determining the shooting angle of the artillery, the craftsmen began to build a fixed gun mount according to this shooting angle. While other auxiliary soldiers began to open the road and level the artillery position on the mountain. All preparations before the artillery launch must be made.
In this test, a seventeen-year-old boy named Hu Meng from Chi Ming's children's camp witnessed and participated in recording the entire test process. After that, he had a strong change in the firing curve of the artillery.
Research interests.
After that, Hu Meng took the initiative to sign up to join the artillery team, and gradually became the ballistics expert of the artillery team, and later became President Qian through his merits.
However, this Hu Meng had no interest in fighting. After that, he voluntarily quit the combat army and came to the military school later opened in Runing Camp to become a teacher of artillery ballistics.
Hu Meng's life in the military academy was like a duck in water. His own research and the eight most talented students he brought out almost laid most of the foundations of modern physics and chemistry in this time and space. And he eventually invented advanced mathematics.
Hu Meng was also honored as the "Father of Science" in this time and space.
But at present, Wu Shigong still doesn't know that there is a real genius named Hu Meng around him. After the artillery test was over, Wu Shigong became playful and shouted: "Put the artillery up and see if it can hit the shells."
How high to go."
Since the adults were interested, the children of course wanted to support them. Soon, the maximum amount of gunpowder was added to the cannon, and it stood upright. Of course, this erection was also slightly forward at a small angle. Otherwise,
, the shell will fall and hit you on the head. That's not fun, it's suicide.
Liang Hui was the main cannon himself for this launch. When the cannon popped out of the chamber, everyone opened their mouths and raised their necks to watch the cannonball flying higher and higher until the cannonball turned into an almost invisible black dot. They waited again.
It took a long time for the cannonball to fall. The cannonball hit hard four or fifty steps in front of the cannon, kicking up a large piece of soil.
People who came back started to sigh one after another: "Wow! Flying so high!"
Only Liang Hui, the master of flattery, reacted the fastest. He knelt on one leg in front of Wu Shigong and said sincerely: "Sir! This cannon is powerful. Please name it."
Wu Shigong blurted out: "Shenzhou One!"
Those who were robbed of the opportunity by Liang Hui immediately continued to flatter Wu Shigong, not to be outdone: "Sir! What a good name!", "Sir, your knowledge is so high!"...
Zhou Xun also approached Wu Shigong and complimented with a smile: "Sir, our Runing Battalion will build bigger artillery in the future. Maybe it can hit the moon."
Wu Shigong didn't even think about it, and continued: "That cannon is called Chang'e-1!"
Of course Wu Shigong, a big boss like him, didn't know any taboos, so the name with the same sound as "Shenzhou Cannon" was shouted in the Runing camp, and it was also recorded in the documents of the Runing camp.
It was only after returning to Runing that Deng Qifan discovered this very sensitive name in the document. In order to avoid taboos, Deng Qifan conveniently changed the name to Shenzhou Cannon. He didn't even think about his change, and just changed it back to the original.
Just the name.
Moreover, an interesting anecdote happened in this time and space. When this period of history spread to the West, more than a hundred years later, a French science fiction writer named Jules Verne was inspired by this and wrote a book called "
From the Earth to the Moon, a science fiction novel about using artillery to launch people to the moon.
And this Shenzhou-1 shell also brought an accident. The sound of the shell landing also frightened a horse that was pulling an empty cart and was quietly gnawing grass.
This frightened horse pulled an empty cart and galloped across the open artillery test range, causing the people who were eating grass beside it to go crazy and excited. It took advantage of the guarding soldiers not paying attention, and flew away to meet the frightened horse.
You started chasing me, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
In the end, of course, the soldiers were dispatched, subdued the two horses and brought them back. However, after Ren Lai Kuang came back, he playfully jumped around Wu Shigong.
Wu Shigong ignored Ren Laifeng, and he suddenly had a new idea. Although Ren Laifeng was naughty, he ran very fast. However, the frightened horse just now was dragging a cart, and its speed was not slower than Ren Laifeng.
How much.
Wu Shigong remembered a movie he had watched in his previous life - "Gladiator". There was a scene of a chariot battle in a gladiatorial arena. Wu Shigong remembered that the power of the chariot was not small. Will it be used by you in the future?
How many vehicles will Ningying build?
Of course Wu Shigong would not know that this type of chariot was very popular during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but with the large-scale use of cavalry, this type of chariot has long been eliminated.
Because that type of chariot was expensive to build, it was difficult to train a driver, but the terrain requirements for use were very high. Therefore, it was first cracked by Sun Wu during the Spring and Autumn Period, and then this type of chariot gradually became history.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was no trace of this kind of chariot, and not many people even knew that this kind of chariot existed in history.
But at this time, no one would object to Wu Shigong's idea. Under Wu Shigong's description, Chi Ming quickly recalled the idea of developing such a chariot to Wu Shigong, and recorded the sketch of such a chariot.
While waiting for the official launch, a blacksmith named Bian Chengwang, who Wu Shigong had "transferred" from Laizhou City, approached Wu Shigong.
In the summary of the battle after the Huangxian Battle, Wu Shigong proposed the idea of using large pieces of armor iron to protect the key points of the beggar's armor. And we already know that during this period of the Ming Dynasty, it was possible to make such a large armor.
There are very few blacksmiths who can make a piece of armor iron, and the manufacturing cycle is also very long, which cannot reach the level of mass production.
And this Bian Chengwang is one of them. He has some crafts passed down from his ancestors that can greatly shorten the manufacturing time of iron sheets. In terms of modern craftsmanship, the one passed down by his family is the "quenching" craft, which can quickly improve the iron quality.
The strength of the piece meets the strength requirements required for armor iron pieces.
You should know that in the past, the strength of iron sheets was increased by the method of repeated refining, which cost a lot of labor and time. But Bian Chengwang's method can greatly shorten this time.
Of course, as an ancestral method, Bian Chengwang was not willing to dedicate it to Wu Shigong. But because he was jealous of Wu Shigong's silver rewards, he boldly asked Wu Shigong for credit.
When Wu Shigong heard this, he was naturally very excited, because this method was so important for strengthening the ordnance production of Runing Camp. But Wu Shigong understood that Bian Chengwang was not willing to give up this method. He was only willing to take his son with him
He and his apprentice produced this type of iron sheet for Wu Shigong.
In addition, there is another problem. Wu Shigong is no longer willing to reward him like this. For such an important method, it is not good to reward too little. But if he rewards too much, Wu Shigong himself will feel pain because the landlord's family has no surplus food.
!So, Wu Shigong has to think of a good way to solve this problem.
What solution? After thinking about it, Wu Shigong came up with the modern "Patent Law". Wu Shigong proposed to Bian Chengwang: Let Bian Chengwang donate this technology, but Wu Shigong's Runing Camp will use this technology in every product
Pay patent fees.
Anyway, Wu Shigong is familiar with the provisions of the "Patent Law", and now he only needs to copy them. Anyway, in modern times, Wu Shigong also did a lot of piracy, so studying this kind of legal provisions is also one of Wu Shigong's required courses.
.
However, seeing that Bian Chengwang was still hesitant, Wu Shigong once again put forward a condition, naming the technology that Bian Chengwang contributed "Bian's method" so that the Bian family could be famous for generations.
But what surprised Wu Shigong was that Bian Chengwang was not worried about this. He was only worried that if he gained a lot of wealth from the patent law, the government would find a reason to seize his Bian family's property.
This worry is quite reasonable. In order to appease Bian Chengwang, Wu Shigong had to accept 30% of the dry shares offered by Bian Chengwang to appease Bian Chengwang. It seems that the construction of the legal system still has a long way to go!
And Wu Shigong has transformed from a lawbreaker in his previous life to a legislator now. This situation also makes people sigh: "The fate of life is really unpredictable!"
In fact, the Patent Act is also a law that is often underestimated by the world. However, its importance can be seen from the fact that after the United States established the Constitution, the first law enacted was the Patent Act.
The essence of the "Patent Law" is: any country actually needs a large number of talents from all walks of life, but the country's finances cannot afford to support so many talents. So what should we do?
Through the "Patent Law", the private sector is allowed to contribute money to make these talents rich, so as to keep these talents in the country and serve the country. This is the UK that first formulated the "Patent Law", and also the first to carry out the Industrial Revolution, and finally
An important reason for its expansion into an empire on which the sun never sets. If you don’t believe it, just look at the luxurious lineup of academicians of the British Academy of Sciences at that time.
During the four or five months when Wu Shigong's Runing Camp besieged Dengzhou City, a genius like Hu Meng appeared, laying the foundation for scientific theory; the "Patent Law" appeared, laying the foundation for wealth.
After that, a large number of scientific researchers and inventors appeared in the Runing camp, which eventually led to the Eastern Industrial Revolution in this time and space. Therefore, in the later generations of this time and space, what happened during this time was called—
—The cradle of science! (To be continued.. ps: Thank you to ri for sharing your thoughts on "Patent Law" as a fan book friend. This is also the original content of this book. We are really heroes who have the same views!
But now that I’m writing, I’ve found that many of my friends have mentioned in their book reviews what I want to write about. It makes me really feel: You guys are awesome!
However, this was also a heavy blow to my own intelligence. I couldn't help but cry: How can I be bright when I am born with beauty!
If you pity me! Please give me some votes! Thank you!
