The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

As soon as Shangwen got into the car, he began to write and draw.Shang Wen believes that to improve the printing factory, one must go further to a new starting point at the beginning.That is movable type printing. The movable type is not made of clay in the Song Dynasty, because the reuse of this material is very problematic.Instead, bronze or iron was chosen from the beginning.Because these materials are very wear-resistant.And it can be reused.The printing method is still straight printing.Instead of using a rotary newspaper press like printing newspapers in modern times.Even so, there are still several generations of printing presses in between.For example, flatbed embossing machines, letterpress copying technology of hand-made paper-type casting flat stereotypes.etc.It is impossible to transition there all at once, and it can only barely meet the current needs.And most importantly, the biggest power issue remains unresolved.Don't know what happened to the steam engine.Shang Wen felt that he should intervene.Improve the progress of development.All current progress has basically stopped in this area.

The steam engine has basically become a bottleneck in the development of all industries. If this bottleneck is not resolved, it will be difficult to have further development.From printing to transportation.To a large number of industrial products processing.For example, the blending technology that has just started can only be done by a lot of manpower.Every family in Qin State is also responsible for the production of armor.Can the finished product be obtained in a short time.It will be related to the well-being of soldiers in the north.Thinking of this, Shangwen believes that at present, another measure to improve the heat preservation effect should be adopted.

And this warming measure, how to do it specifically.Shangwen didn't come up with a good idea either.

Shangwen suddenly felt that the car was not moving.

"What's going on? Why is the car not moving?" Shang Wen asked.

"My lord, I really don't know how to get to this printing factory." The driver said in a difficult way.

"Oh, my God." Shangwen said, patting his forehead with his hands.

"I'm so busy and confused. Go to the paper mill, hurry up." Only then did Shangwen realize that he was really dazed.

"My lord, look, it's already very late in the sky, and now, the craftsmen have all stopped work after they go." The coachman suggested.

"Oh, that's it." Shang Wen looked at the dark sky outside the car.

"Forget it. Let's talk about it when we go back. Let's talk about something tomorrow." Shangwen said.

"Here," replied the coachman.

Shangwen put down the curtain helplessly.Picking up the notebook in his hand, with the weak light, he sketched some printing tools, especially in the material description, Shangwen marked the word "metal" in more detail.This is because, for example, wood is used.It won't take long. If you go to rigidity again, it will take a lot of work and effort.

170 musical instruments

As soon as Shangwen returned to his residence, someone came to look for him.These people called themselves court musicians.Shangwen suddenly understood.This is what King Qin used to form a band for himself.Shangwen let them rest first.Then immediately ran to the craftsman who made the instrument to ask how the instrument was made.

Shang Wen, who hurried to the craftsman, first checked the production of the musical instrument.Fortunately, make tubas, trombones, French horns.not difficult.The craftsmen who have been engaged in copperware production for a long time already have rich experience.Making such an instrument is still within reach.

Shang Wen took a look at the tuba.Still like that.The French horn looks a bit ugly.But when you blow it, the actual sound is still a bit similar.Naofumi looked at the instruments with a smile.

"Not bad, well made. How many instruments like this have been made today?" Shang Wen pointed to these new instruments.

"My lord. There are three long trumpets, and one curved trumpet. There is only one bigger trumpet. That's all." said a craftsman.

"Well, yes, it's just a little bit less." Shang Wen said.Looking at the musical instrument built in front of him, Shangfu felt that something was missing.It is small in number.Naturally, with the advent of the first musical instrument, these things should be able to gradually become proficient.But something seems to be missing.what that.Shangwen looked at the instrument and became thoughtful.

"My lord, do you want to make some more musical instruments?" the craftsman asked.

"Well, the quantity is not enough. Make more." Shangwen ordered.

Something is missing.Orchestral music is not something that can be formed with just a few instruments.A band needs at least bass drum, snare drum, trombone, French horn, tuba, yes.And trumpet, oboe.

The basis of the oboe is a suona instrument.

"By the way, do you have a musical instrument called suona here?" Shangwen asked the craftsman.

"Suona? What kind of musical instrument is this?" the craftsman asked suspiciously.

"Oh, no." Shangwen agreed with some disappointment.Yeah now bc.It was the Warring States Period, how could there be such a mature musical instrument in later generations.Forget it, go back and check the information.Who can know what these materials are.Usually do not pay attention.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Shangwen clasped his fists as a signal.Then he left muttering.

"My lord, go slowly," said the craftsman.

In order to form a military band, there are really many things missing.After Shang Wen went back.Open your own database now and start looking for stuff.First of all, we must understand the composition of the military band.

It turns out that in addition to these, there are trumpets.Shangwen immediately recorded this in his notebook, oboe is indispensable.The body of the oboe is composed of three parts, and there are about 2 air holes of different sizes on it. The air holes are equipped with gold-plated or silver-plated keys to cover the air holes to adjust the pitch.The whole set of keys is composed of a complex lever structure. When the keys are played, the combination of levers will automatically open or close the required air holes according to the pitch played.

Such a complicated design really made Shangwen feel profusely sweating.A marching band can't do without an oboe.A marching band without oboes.Shangwen really dare not imagine.Shangwen stood up and walked around a few times.No, no matter how difficult this thing is, it has to be done.

Shang Wen sat down and began to sketch the structure of the oboe in detail.The first is a rough overall graphic.Next, Naofumi will disassemble the different parts and make a simpler sketch.In this way, it will not be very difficult to make.This is a test.It is also a test of the skills of those craftsmen.The price of surpassing the times is the increase in processing difficulty.

Naofumi described the structure of the oboe in detail.Shangwen described a semi-automatic oboe, which is commonly used at present. The main body of the oboe is a wooden pipe, and Shangwen looked it up.My God, the suona didn't enter China until after 300 AD, and the ancestor of the oboe took so long.Also, the predecessor of the oboe, the shawm, took a long time to come in.In this way, wouldn't the military band be ruined.

After checking the information, Shangwen finally understood the vicissitudes of history.It takes such a long time for an instrument to fuse to form what it is now.Not to mention weapons.This requires not the efforts of one generation, but the efforts of several generations.

Can't work.reed.When playing, it is contained between the two lips. By blowing air, the double reed vibrates to form an air column in the tube, and the vibration makes a sound.Shangwen recorded while drawing.This is simply a deadly errand.

It took Shangwen about two hours to get the oboe.Especially that complex leverage system.Most of all.

The oboe is over, and the snare drum.The material of the snare drum needs to be special, using sheepskin instead of traditional Chinese cowhide.And there are many snapping strings stretched on the non-beating side; two hardwood clappers are used for drums, and the heads of the drums are small and do not contain any foreign objects.Fortunately, the design is not simple.These are all acceptable.

Yes, it's so simple.Next, the cymbals.These are very simple.

Shangwen rubbed his sore eyes and continued to explore.Next comes the hardest.It's sheet music.Without music scores, with these instruments, it is also useless.

Shangwen can only copy all of them from the simplest musical instruments.First is the sheet music.Shangwen first came to the simplest method.Directly copying the score, as for using it like this, Shangwen is really too tired. After a day, Shangwen is already very busy.And they are all overworked, and the body can't bear it.

Shangwen doesn't care about Sanqi 21 anymore.Directly find the sheet music to transcribe.The music scores transcribed are mainly from the U.S. military, and there are some current music scores that are more pleasant to listen to. The world's military music is just a little bit. "Anchor Weighing March" This is the US Navy. "Marine Corps Hymn" This is the Marine Corps. I don't know which country "Victory is Calling" is from, Shangwen copied it directly. "Manhattan March" has a brighter tone. "Singing Together of the Five Military Branches" is a score that unites the five major military branches of the United States.tone.have no idea.I still have a little influence.

When Shangwen finished copying the last bit of score.It's really tiring.He fell asleep on the table.

By this time, the sky was already dawning.Shangwen, who stayed up all night, was already sound asleep.

There was one person who didn't sleep that night, and that was Guo Kai. Guo Kai traveled around as envoys of the six countries, but when it came to buying weapons together, they were all rejected. The reason was that it triggered a chain reaction.Although not afraid of the weak Yan State, it is a trouble after all, so the rest of the countries rejected Guo Kai's request.

171 Report by Li Xinlai

Guo Kai had no choice but to bump into walls everywhere, so he had to go to Li Si again.Because only Li Si can contact Shangwen.

Shangwen didn't wake up until the morning.Looking at the paper full of saliva.Shangwen was too embarrassed to show it to the artisans again.But forget it.The drool-stained one happened to be the one for the oboe.No matter what, Shangwen is unwilling to draw a new one.

"Oh, that's it. Anyway, it's fine if you can use it." Shangwen had no choice but to sort out all the drawings.And part of the sheet music.But I don't know these staves, how can I teach others.There is no way, I have to copy the interpretation meaning of the stave.

While Shangwen was copying.There was the sound of "clang clang".

"Who." Shang Wen hurriedly packed up.

"My lord, it's me, Li Xin." A strong male voice came from outside the door.

"Oh. Li Xin." Shang Wen finished cleaning up.

"Come in." Shang Wen said.

"Here." Shangwen sorted out the case.

Li Xin strode in.Then he knelt on one knee and gave a military salute.

"The final general will see your lord." Li Xin saluted as he marched.

Shangwen is busy cleaning up the case.

"Get up quickly. Don't be restrained. There are not so many rules here." Shangwen waved his hand.

"Here." Li Xin got up and said.
