Chapter 372 Feudal superstition kills people

Chapter 372 Feudal superstition kills people

Is his little wife Pan Jinlian staying in her boudoir on Shuibo Liangshan, thinking of him all the time?

Did Li Jie and Shen Kuo develop the bicycle?

Did Ling Zhen have any other problems with the progress of his artillery research?

Wu Zhi was thinking about it, and suddenly another question popped up in his mind.

That is, the red cannon looks really powerful, but its maneuverability seems to be a shortcoming that cannot be circumvented.

After all, in this era, the so-called alloy technology is not very mature.

Even if he mastered this technology, it would still take a lot of time to build the cannon.

If this is the case, the pure iron cannon seems to have become his most practical solution.

But no one can pull that thing.

A cannon requires at least three tall horses to pull it.

If it catches up with the rapid march, these cannons will definitely delay the marching speed of the entire army.

However, regarding the issue of weight reduction of cannons, the materials and technologies involved are a bit too professional.

It's not something he can figure out in a very short period of time.

For a technically complex problem like this, it would be better to leave it to the three great masters: Li Jie, Ling Zhen, and Shen Kuo.

However, is there a firearm that is both easy to carry and powerful?

If his army can be equipped with such firearms, its overall military strength will definitely be improved to a higher level.

When fighting the enemy.

For precise strikes, you can use the modified Zhuge Liannu.

For close-range fire coverage, you can use firearms that are both easy to carry and powerful.

At the same time, with the support of light and heavy chain armor, his army had no obvious shortcomings.

A portable, lightweight firearm?

When Wu Zhi thought of this, his steps also slowed down.

His eyes were staring straight into the distance.

Suddenly, something appeared in his mind.

That is, during the Anti-Japanese War, our army often used a grenade called "Made in the Border Area".

At that time, our army was still able to produce wooden-handled grenades in such a difficult environment, which shows that its requirements for manufacturing technology should not be too high.

Moreover, that thing relies on the shrapnel flying everywhere after the explosion to injure people, and it does not seem to require a large amount of gunpowder.

As for the friction medicine on the fuze, this seems to be a big problem that is difficult to solve.

But what if the fuse could be made so that it could be ignited by an open flame and be waterproof and windproof?

Wu Zhi thought about it, and a very feasible plan gradually took shape in his brain.

But the next big problem we face is the test site.

Due to the high population density in the capital, once that thing is tested, it will definitely be reported by neighbors.

When the time comes, it will definitely bring him a lot of unexpected troubles.

But what if the test site is not chosen in the capital?

Suddenly, such an inspiration burst out in Wu Zhi's mind.

That is, why not choose the experimental venue in a clean room that everyone avoids?

The clean room was in a very remote location.

There was not a single living person living within several miles.

It does seem to be an excellent experimental venue.

At that time, as long as Gao Youcai is informed, he probably won't object.

At worst, we can just wait until he gets drunk before doing the experiment.

That Gao Youcai has a very remarkable characteristic, that is, when he is drunk, no matter how much Wu Zhi shouts, he will not wake up.

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi's steps became much faster.

Wu Zhi now wanted to rush to Gao Youcai's cabin as soon as possible, say hello to him, and then conduct an explosion experiment.

The reason why Wu Zhi did this actually had another purpose.

That is, he wanted to show off his abilities in front of Ling Zhen, Li Jie, and Shen Kuo.

By the way, I also want to show off to them that in terms of technology research and development, not only are they good at it, but I am also good at it.

He gathered them all on Liangshan Mountain, just because he didn't want to do everything by himself.

After waiting for half an hour, Wu Zhi finally arrived at Gao Youcai's residence.

By this time, it was almost noon.

Due to Gao Youcai's drunken life for many years, he had long developed the habit of sleeping until noon before getting up to cook.

At this time, Gao Youcai was very happy when he saw that Wu Zhi had come to see him.

After welcoming Wu Zhi into his hut with a happy face, he started busy making lunch.

But at this moment, Gao Youcai suddenly found that his wine jar was empty.

Just when he was secretly complaining about his mistake, Wu Zhi came to him and actively agreed to help him buy wine.

Gao Youcai originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Wu Zhi said next, he no longer stopped him.

"Lao Gao, I've been bored lately, and I'm thinking of making some big firecrackers. I just don't have a test site right now."

"I see that your place is vast and sparsely populated, so I thought of doing an experiment here. Do you think it would work?"

"If you don't object, when I go to buy wine later, I will also buy back the raw materials."

As soon as Wu Zhi finished speaking, Gao Youcai took advantage of the situation and started talking.

"Yes, yes, your kid is here, how come there is no room?

Must have!"

"It just so happens that there are a lot of rat holes in my yard, and the rats annoy me a lot on weekdays."

"Those mice were scurrying everywhere, and several times they even came into my bed, old man."

"If it weren't for the fact that those things were too dirty to be eaten, the old man would have stewed those little things and drank them."

"If you can destroy them during the experiment, you will be doing the old man a big favor."

When Wu Zhi received this affirmative answer, he was extremely happy.

After bidding farewell to Gao Youcai in a hurry, he left the palace.

During the Song Dynasty, Taoist thought was particularly popular.

Under this condition, many materials used for alchemy can be purchased in almost many places across the country.

So Wu Zhi chose a shop closest to the palace and started making purchases.

"Shop, saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, whatever you have, I'll take them all."

The little apprentice in the drugstore looked at Wu Zhi's anxious look with a question mark on his face.

"Sir, why do you need so many of these things?

Refining the elixir of longevity?"

Wu Zhi didn't want to explain too much to him, so he just responded casually.

"Well, you guessed it right, after eating those, I can ascend directly!"

At this moment, the little apprentice became interested, and his eyes widened.

"ah?

Really?

How did you get promoted?”

Hey, feudal superstition kills people.
