774. November 11, seven years, rain

"Chang'an's military equipment is divided into two categories, one is conventional military equipment, and the other is strategic equipment."

The Fu King who came to Chang'an naturally had to go to the famous arsenal here for a trip. His confidentiality level basically does not require any messy procedures. He is basically at the same level as Zhao Xing. Anyone in the world may leak information, but he will definitely not.

Therefore, the arsenal naturally does not have to involve any confidentiality treaty when receiving King Fu. Just display it directly.

"How to define strategic equipment?" King Fu walked slowly in the showroom, looking at the dazzling array of weapons and equipment in this huge warehouse. Many things were not displayed to the public or even appeared in the Song Dynasty's standard weapons list.

"The meaning of strategic weapons is that as long as they exist, they can prevent the enemy from acting rashly, and as long as they are used, they can turn the situation around."

The director of the arsenal patted the body of a machine gun and said, "This thing can fire four hundred bullets in one minute. As long as there are ten, the once invincible Iron Cavalry of the Grassland will never make any progress. If it is an infantryman, it will be a waste of food for free."

King Fu nodded: "That's true."

Afterwards, the two of them walked to the real heavy artillery. This heavy artillery was also a brand new equipment. Because of the scarcity of special steel, this artillery only had seven pieces cast in total. However, this artillery is different from all the current artillery guns. Its barrel is very long and the common thick and short artillery guns, and the lower end is not a wheel but eight removable steel brackets.

The size of the shell was also very amazing. Although it used fixed-loading bullets like the current standard cannons in the Song Dynasty, the usual ammunition was from the grandchildren in front of it. The thickness and length of such a shell were far from comparable to that of common ammunition. It is conceivable what effect it would have if it was shot out.

"Prince, look at this cannon again. Although it is expensive, large and heavy, as long as it appears on the battlefield, it will be a well-deserved king. If there are twenty such heavy cannons, two consecutive shots or five volleys, after forming a cannon array, the enemy will have thousands of troops and thousands of horses, and it is not worth mentioning."

King Fu frowned. He wanted to see the actual launch effect of this cannon, but considering that this thing was too heavy, he thought that this thing would not be able to go to the battlefield for a while, so he had to turn his attention to other equipment.

To be honest, even King Fu has never seen so many strange weapons. He has been fighting with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks all his life. Now he suddenly sees these things in front of him and is being said one by one, fighting the old-fashioned army is like chopping melons and vegetables, which makes King Fu feel a little uncomfortable.

But it’s uncomfortable, but the new era is coming after all, and his cognition will eventually be subverted. Although he is nearly 60 years old, he has been constantly learning, not to go to battle to kill the enemy, but to prevent himself from becoming like the old guys in Jinling City, and his face is full of rush when he sees everything.

"Your Majesty, this is called a landmine. After connecting the fuse on the upper side, it buried it in shallow soil. If someone step on the upper side, it will let the triggering medium touch the gunpowder on the lower side, and then trigger an explosion. The explosion will shoot out hundreds of small iron balls inside, killing everyone around fifteen meters."

King Fu nodded: "I probably have seen it."

"This one is easier to use than before, more powerful and more sensitive. If you encounter old cluster charges, landmines can instantly break down."

Prince Fu sighed softly and walked to the next equipment.

It took a lot of time to browse this warehouse. Not only are there various new weapons, but there are also many trial products that only exist in the concept.

Of course, what shocked Prince Fu the most here is the rocket like a honeycomb, but he always had a question in his mind, that is, what is the difference between such a rocket and heavy artillery?

When he asked this question, the director of the arsenal laughed. He patted the cannon body of the multi-barrel cannon and said, "Prince, the more powerful the weapon, the better the better. The high and low combinations between weapons can have better results. Just like the heavy artillery and this rocket launcher, the missions between the two seem to be overlapping, but if it is on the battlefield, the heavy artillery is accurate, long range, and powerful, it can effectively attack the opponent's fortresses and cities. The rocket is poor in accuracy and low in killing, but it is better to achieve the effect of firing ten thousand artillery at the same time, covering several rounds of damage to personnel. If the heavy artillery and rocket launcher are matched with each other, as long as there is sufficient ammunition, the enemy's position will not be at peace."

King Fu nodded. The combination of these things can indeed produce amazing power. As an experienced combat commander, Prince Fu quickly thought of the use of these things.

"Very good, you did a good job, which is eye-opening."

"Actually, I'm just changing Lord Song's things. It's really amazing. Lord Song has created the way of science and is willing to spend a lot of money to support him. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid these things would have been hundreds of years later."

"Hundreds of years?"

The factory director walked out with King Fu, and King Fu was obviously full of doubts about what he said for hundreds of years.

"It's been hundreds of years. The prince may not know that the science path is not like an article. Most of the science is discovered rather than invention. That is, the laws that are already found in the world are discovered and used by me. Many things may be separated by a window paper. If no one comes to pierce it, it will be ignorant for hundreds of years. Once someone pierces it, it will actually find that it is nothing more than the principle of the world. Just like the electric light, we may not be able to explain why it is like this. After all, it is the Academy of Sciences, not the Academy of Engineering, but this does not prevent us from turning this electricity into a lamp and making it shine."

"Oh? In other words, the Academy of Sciences knows the truth and the reason, and the Academy of Engineering knows the truth and does not need the reason?"

"You can't say that, Prince. The Academy of Engineering is mainly about application. If it cannot be applied, I will scold the guys from the Academy of Sciences."

King Fu was amused by this clever young man. Although he knew he was joking, if scholars from the Song Dynasty had such agility and knowledge, it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to not be strong.

Just when King Fu inspected the arsenal, Duke Ding was squatting in the camp of the Beihai New Army to discuss how to win the battle with the Blue Army. He was a man of good face and was really unwilling to accept his loss in the hands of his daughter, so he followed a large number of people in the Beihai New Army to discuss how to turn the world around in the situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak.

However, Zuo Fang is now liberated, without the constraints of her old father, and she follows her sister to wander around Chang'an City.

Zuo Fang here no longer has to look like a playboy, nor does she have to follow those people to apply pale pink on her face, and wear colorful shirts, making herself look like a pheasant.

Today, he was dressed in an ordinary outfit. He could tell that his family was well-off but he couldn't tell the scent of exaggeration. He washed away the luster on his body, put on the scribe's hair, and showed the fan in his hand. He was really a handsome young man.

But I think so, Zuo Fang, after all, he is a sibling and Zuo Rou. Their appearance is similar to each other, but Zuo Fang is taller and has a more square face.

No matter how you look at this, you are a pretty handsome guy. In later generations, you will definitely be a top-notch traffic student. However, the popularity has become popular in recent years. A man with a greasy and pink face like him is not so popular. On the contrary, a man with talented and knowledgeable is even more popular. Even if he is ugly, it is not harmful.

Just like the most popular man in Chang'an now, it is Xue Pengcheng, who is known as the number one talent in Chang'an.

As for Song Beiyun, no one has mentioned this name for a long time, as if it has gradually been forgotten.

"Sister, you go and do it first, I'll take a walk by myself." Zuo Fang took a deep breath: "This Changan is so cold."

"Chang'an is in the northwest after all, it's normal to be colder. I won't stroll around with you if there are some things on the other side. Don't spend money on your life."

Zuo Fang has no interest in spending time and wine. A top playboy from Jinling City is in Chang'an. Compared to women and fine wine, he loves Chang'an's beauty and character more.

He met many foreigners, including those blonde hair and blue eyes, those big and thick. Whenever Zuo Fang had the chance, he would come forward to talk to others, use the language he mastered to constantly get in touch with fresh things. This feeling made Zuo Fang seem to have been sublimated.

However, he soon realized his shortcomings, because in Chang'an, there were more than ten languages ​​he knew, and those languages ​​that he could not understand were gathered together, which really made him know his shortcomings and the tremendous world.

"It smells so good!"

Suddenly, Zuo Fang's smart nose captured a special fragrance. As a top figure looking for flowers and willows, he immediately portrayed the appearance of a top beauty in his heart.

Although he was not lustful, he was curious, so he stood on tiptoe and looked for something in the crowd. Suddenly he saw a tall woman wearing a veil swaying past the crowd and getting on a carriage.

Zuo Fang was shocked because the woman's side face was eighty-slightly similar to his deceased mother.

When his mother passed away, he was still very young, and his memory of her mother remained in her appearance and the few portraits.

Although the memories began to blur over time, the moment he saw that woman, he could immediately think of his mother.

For this matter, Zuo Fang followed him all the way until the carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard, he turned around and left, and went straight to find Zuo Rou.

"Sister! I saw a woman."

Zuo Rou was stunned and looked up at him: "Didn't you say you wouldn't ask for flowers or willows?"

"No, that woman looks like a mother!"—
