Chapter 600: Battlefield God Soldiers
Zhu Yunwen was naturally very curious about the good things Mo Cheng said. It was not only Zhu Yunwen, but also the five people in the cabinet.
Previous electrical experiments have already made them feel shocked that their scalp exploded. So how could they not be moved by the good things Mo Cheng specifically introduced?
The group walked out of the Academy of Sciences and walked towards the warehouse not far away. Mo Cheng called two technicians to open the warehouse, so that the treasured objects inside could be seen in the light of day, and also exposed them to the eyes of Zhu Yunwen and others.
Almost the first time I saw it, Zhu Yunwen blurted out.
“Hot air balloon.”
Mo Cheng, who was standing beside him, froze his smile on his face, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Yunwen in surprise.
How did the emperor know the name of this new object? Even the Academy of Sciences has just agreed that it will take only two or three days.
But then Mo Cheng felt relieved again. Everything in the world is simple in the heart of the emperor. If you know it, you can't count it. He said: "Your Majesty is right. This thing is indeed a hot air balloon. It was improved on the basis of the Kongming lantern made by the Prime Minister of Shu Han."
When the cabinet behind him heard that the object in front of him was improved by Kongming lantern, he knew where it was used.
Ascension to heaven!
The Chinese people's pursuit of the sky has been around for thousands of years, and they have never stopped this desire.
There was a man from the Hongwu Dynasty who was Tao Chengdao, who was the first person in the world to dream of aerospace.
His homemade flying chess was the first to fly into the sky with a kite as its wings, a bamboo chair as its loader, and a gunpowder arrow as its pusher.
Although the result was a fall from the sky and sacrificed his life.
However, the Chinese people's dream of pursuing blue sky and white clouds did not stop there. After the founding of the Academy of Sciences, Tao Chengdao's disciples participated, but this experiment was stopped by Mo Cheng.
Using the thrust of fuel can indeed send people to the blue sky for a short time, but how can you come back?
If you fly out, you will fall to death.
If it is just for the joy of reaching the sky in that moment, then this experiment is meaningless.
So Mo Chengru turned his attention to Kongminglantern.
Build a large size that can be equipped with a hanging basket to carry people.
This technical difficulty is not a big deal for the current Academy of Sciences. After several years of use, this new style of Kongming lantern, which has a very different appearance and shape from Kongming lantern, was born.
The Academy of Sciences is named ‘Hot Air Balloon’.
"Since Mo Cheng, you can take me and others to see it, it means that this thing should have achieved good experimental results."
"Your Majesty is the one who knows me."
Mo Cheng picked the big thumbs up and smiled happily: "When this thing was first developed, in order to ensure safety, the experiments were always made of pigs and sheep. They chose the weight of the adults and placed it in the hanging basket and took it off.
At the beginning, the danger was still there, and there were several crashes. Now after many improvements, it has been ensured that there is no danger. If an adult man can fly into the air for fifty feet, float away fifteen miles away and slowly descend, and there will be no danger of falling from high altitude."
It soars fifty feet into the sky and fifteen miles away.
This achievement is naturally not worth mentioning for the well-known hot air balloon, but it still caused a lot of exclamations to the few people in the cabinet at this time.
"People can climb to the sky and see the white clouds."
This kind of thing is very exciting even if you think about it.
"This thing can not only be used to view the scenery, but also be of great use in war."
Zhu Gaochi took a speech and talked excitedly about the military field. He also gave an example with serious matters: "With this thing, you can not only climb up to observe the enemy's formation, but also look down on the high ground and cover it with arrow rain."
He thought it was good, but Zhu Yunwen shook his head and poured a basin of cold water.
"The arrows are useless today."
This sentence immediately extinguished Zhu Gaochi's enthusiasm and made the latter laugh.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty is invincible today, so why should we use this trick?
Mo Cheng smiled and said, "Traditional bows and arrows are useless, but what if they are paired with strange things."

"Put out any new inventions together, don't keep it a secret."
Mo Cheng waved to a worker and explained a few words. The latter left. After a while, he walked over with an alley in his arms, handed the box to Mo Cheng, and then retreated aside.
Put the box on the ground, Mo Cheng pulled the mechanical lock a few times and bounced it open, and took out a small iron sphere with an iron ring at the top.
This made Zhu Yunwen's eyes widen.
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, the alchemist Tang Fu presented fire and thunder to Emperor Zhenzong of Song, connected the leads outside, ignited and threw them out, which could hurt several people." Without introducing what new invention he was holding, Mo Cheng first told a historical story.
"The fire and thunder are very harmful and easy to carry. Ordinary heroes can hold several pieces of them. They can easily kill the enemy if they only need one fire break. Emperor Zhenzong of Song was very displeased when he was afraid that this thing would be assassinated by the thief's hand and assassinate the king's killing, and was once abandoned.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the fire and thunder reappeared in the light of the sky and made many achievements on the Anti-Mongolia front. Therefore, the manufacturing process of objects is simple, and the traitor Zhang Hongfan also searched for craftsmen to make it, and used it to rebel against the Song Dynasty.
Later, when the Mongolians fought westward, this thing was spread to the extreme west. Last year, an Arab merchant from the Academy of Sciences came to offer treasures, and the one they offered were their own improved fire thunder.
I have made improvements on this basis, supplemented by the new explosives today, and this object was named as the Throwing Bomb.
Pull this ring down and throw it out, set up a firing needle to hit the flint, ignite the explosives, and then the metal shell made of the shell will be broken, even within one meter, the triple armor will be penetrated, and the power is really terrifying."
Zhu Yunwen already felt that his face was numb.
This is a grenade.
Of course, this grenade is really not technically difficult.
It could be put into use on the battlefield during the Northern Song Dynasty. If the royal family had not been worried about their own safety and had decades of improvement and progress, how difficult would it be to get a grenade?
If there is really a grenade, it is Yue Fei's turn to attack Huanglong. He can take out a built-in grenade and can blow it to the Bering Strait.
How helpful did Mongolia's Western Expedition provide to Europe's progress?
During the same period, in the late Ming Dynasty, in the late Chongzhen period, they were beaten to run away by the Jurchens. The Europeans were already equipped with flintlock rifles, then equipped with red barbarian cannons, and became established grenadiers.
This is how the gap between the times emerges.
Dai Zi created 28th consecutive guns and General Weiyuan's cannon, but was afraid and abandoned by Kangxi, and banned research and development. He even exiled Dai Zi, causing the latter to die of cold and starvation.
Otherwise, China would have developed the first rear-loading gun in the world.
Thoughts were endless, Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not nice to throw explosive bombs. I'll give you a name, just call them a grenade."
Mo Cheng naturally agreed to everything and responded continuously.
"This year is the 42nd year of the Emperor Ming Dynasty, so I will call it the 42-type individual grenade."
Zhu Yunwen smiled: "This thing is paired with a hot air balloon, and it is indeed a magic weapon on the battlefield, and it is always good."
After laughing, Zhu Yunwen looked at Mo Cheng again: "But there is still something good."
The latter shook his head.
"It's really gone?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, it's gone."
"It's okay, I have a strong ability to accept it, so I can come here."
"It's really gone now."
Seeing that Mo Cheng couldn't squeeze out any good things, Zhu Yunwen laughed and waved: "Well, today is a great day. I am already content. Thank you for your hard work. I will write an edict and commend it to all the academicians and craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences."
"I am hereby serving as the Academy of Sciences, thank Your Majesty for your holy grace."
