I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Not long after, a whistle on the jar suddenly sounded sharply, and then the second and third whistles sounded one after another.

Before Zhang Nuo could figure it out, Xu Bowen waved his hand decisively. Immediately, a craftsman moved down a handle connected to the cannon barrel, and then there was a loud bang, and he saw an extra gun on the opposite wall. Cracks like spider webs.

At the same time, the screaming sound of steam gushing out from the gun barrel continued.

Xu Bowen was not in the mood to talk to Zhang Nuo at the moment, he waved his hands excitedly, and said loudly,

"One catty is already successful, let's try five catties!"

In the following time, this group of artisans who had become completely crazy, perhaps it is more appropriate to say that scientific researchers, continued to try projectiles of various weights.

The amount of water in the jar, the size of the steam pressure, and other messy factors were recorded by everyone while experimenting.

Seeing this group of people experimenting without anyone else watching, Zhang Nuo suddenly felt, mother, this money is really worth it!

Chapter 513 Flashing Thoughts

It's just a verification of the steam theory, Zhang Nuo has been here for more than an hour, which is a bit unbelievable for Zhang Nuo, a salty fish who likes to squat at home.

However, I have to say that this kind of feeling of watching his employees forget to eat and sleep, and work overtime like crazy, is very cool for a profiteer boss like Zhang Nuo!

Xu Bowen, who had finally recovered from the previous experiment, was also a little embarrassed. It seemed a little disrespectful to just leave the big boss aside.

This is Zhang Nuo. If it was anyone else, they would have already started to lose their temper by now.

However, seeing this time, they have already finished what they should see. These people are equivalent to saying that they have already proved the operating principle of the steam engine in their own way.

Then the rest is nothing more than the systematic development of the steam engine.

From Zhang Nuo's point of view, it doesn't matter to get some other things while ensuring the steady progress of the main research goal, but if the main research goal is not completed, and you have to do other things desperately, you have to beat yourself to death.

After all, he really needs a lot of things urgently!

Xu Bowen also came to his senses at this time, he leaned in front of Zhang Nuo a little embarrassed and said,

"Your Highness, can you go to the side and talk about it, I still have something I want to ask Your Highness!"

Zhang Nuo looked up at this somewhat excited and embarrassed subordinate in surprise, and nodded noncommittally.

Xu Bowen was very happy, and quickly turned around to lead the way, leading Zhang Nuo into a row of rooms beside him.

I don't know what these rooms used to be for, but now they have been opened up into very primitive laboratories, with all kinds of strange things in a mess.

Zhang Nuo was no stranger to it, he had seen messier ones before, this was nothing.

On the contrary, Xu Bowen became more and more embarrassed, scratched his head and said,

"Hehe, it's a bit of a mess inside, I didn't have time to clean it up, let Your Highness see a joke!"

Zhang Nuo shook his head indifferently, found a place to sit down and asked casually,

"It's nothing, but what do you want to tell me?"

Xu Bowen laughed twice, then pointed to a pile of things next to him and said,

"Your Highness, what I want to show you is this, this large Kongming lantern!"

Zhang Nuo was stunned for a moment, he really didn't see what the big pile of black things beside him had anything to do with the Kongming lantern.

Xu Bowen continued,

"Your Highness, this is what I thought at the time. Since the Kongming Lantern can fly with a simple small flame and a lampshade, then I am thinking, should I make the Kongming Lantern bigger? Can it drive more things to fly?"

Speaking of this, Xu Bowen's face changed with excitement,

"In the past, it was said that only gods can fly to the sky and escape from the earth, but following behind His Highness, the officer has seen too many things that he never dared to think about before."

"Then I'm thinking, is it possible that as long as people are smart enough, many seemingly impossible things can be achieved?"

"And what I want to do most is to fly to the sky to see if there are really gods in the nine heavens, to see if the thunder and lightning are really thunder and lightning, and to see if the fairy Is the palace actually there?"

Zhang Nuo looked at Xu Bowen's excited look and smiled. In Zhang Nuo's view, Xu Bowen really looked like a mad scientist in later generations.

However, Zhang Nuo really felt good about this kind of energy.

Without this crazy enthusiasm for scientific research, it is really difficult to get ahead.

Zhang Nuo used to pay more attention to this Xu Bowen, otherwise he would not have brought this person out, but he really did not expect that this big brother would find out the steam engine he gave before he got it out. A very troublesome thing as a target.

Although Zhang Nuo had never sat in a hot air balloon before, he did know about it, and it was precisely because of his knowledge that he found it troublesome.

Since this thing was invented, it seems that it has no extensive value and use. Either it is placed in a scenic spot for people to sit and take pictures of the scenery, or it is used for scientific research, and the rest is basically invisible.

On the contrary, the airship, a relative of the hot air balloon, flourished for a while, and finally declined due to safety reasons and the invention of the airplane.

So instead of letting Xu Bowen spend his time on hot air balloons, it's better to go directly to the airship.

Zhang Nuo hadn't thought about flying before, because in his habitual thinking, when he thought of flying, the first thing that popped up was an airplane, such as passenger planes, military planes, helicopters, gliders, etc.

In his opinion, this is too far away. After all, the engine alone cannot be solved for the aircraft, and various technical problems such as supporting fuel cannot be solved.

But when Xu Bowen mentioned this today, he just remembered that before the appearance of airplanes, airships were the real kings of the sky.

Especially the overwhelming scene of Kirov airships in the later games, it is exciting to think about.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, as long as the airship can really be built, then he is sure to open up a direct route from Pyongyang to Chang'an.

That will be a great boost to the economies of both sides.At the same time, let alone the role of airships in warfare.

An airship flying at an altitude of several hundred meters is almost invincible than gunpowder in this era, because there is no weapon or method that can hurt him at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo really fell in love with this thing!

But when he thought of the difficulty of developing an airship, Zhang Nuo felt a little bit pained. This thing is no better than a steam engine. The steam engine is just a stupid, clumsy iron. Although there are requirements for materials, the mechanical structure is also better than the current ones. All kinds of machinery are complicated, but that's all in the end.

But the airship is different, not to mention anything else, just talking about the skeleton structure of the airbags that support the airship, it is not something that can be fixed by ordinary things.

At present, aluminum, which requires electrolysis to be produced, is still a bit too far away, but if aluminum is not used, Zhang Nuo himself does not know what material can be used as the skeleton of the airbag.

Not to mention that the airship cabin also has to consider issues such as pressurization and oxygen supply, which is not comparable to a technology like a metal cabin.

There are too many technical issues included here!

However, looking at the current situation of this kid Xu Bowen, it seems that he is really interested in the aircraft. If he directly refuses, I am afraid that this kid will also start researching secretly. Do you want to agree?

Chapter 514 Rewards of Knowledge

Zhang Nuo sat there without saying a word, which made Xu Bowen feel a little flustered!

Xu Bowen didn't know what Zhang Nuo thought about the project he just mentioned. Logically speaking, for general projects, the scientific research institute can carry out it by itself.

But the really large ones that require the assistance of multiple people and are relatively difficult actually require Zhang Nuo's approval.

On the one hand, it is because the power of finance and personnel is in the hands of Zhang Nuo. Without Zhang Nuo nodding, it is impossible to have a lot of funds and manpower for research and development. Get all kinds of technical support here.

For people like him who are obsessed with technology, Zhang Nuo, His Highness the King of Qin is an inexhaustible treasure. Tell you what to do and how to experiment, and then Shi Shiran took out a blueprint.

There are also people who are unconvinced and want to follow the drawings and prove themselves with their own wisdom.

But in the end, I found that it seems that the best solution given by His Royal Highness Qin Wang is useless no matter what you think.

It is precisely because of this that everyone who has stayed in the Lantian City Research Institute knows that if the project is to be done well, it must obtain the approval and support of His Highness.

Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort.

Xu Bowen looked at Zhang Nuo who was sitting there meditating, and Ai Ai's heart slowly sank to the bottom of the valley, and it was cold. In all likelihood, this project was cold.

Although he didn't have many opportunities to have direct contact with His Highness, he also knew the habit of His Highness through hearsay and the recent fact that he directly took orders from His Highness the King of Qin, which was to go straight to the point and not to be polite.

But it is such a direct highness who has not agreed now, so it seems that this project is really hopeless.

Perhaps it is because the technical difficulty in the middle is too great.

Xu Bowen thought for a long time and finally found a reason to comfort himself!

This is the reason Zhang Nuo used to gag others several times when he was in Lantian City!

However, no one dared to object, because King Qin's name was placed there, and no one dared to talk back to His Highness King Qin on such matters.

Just when Xu Bowen was in a panic, Zhang Nuo finally sighed and said,

"Old Xu, you chose a good project! But this project is really difficult to do!"

Hearing Zhang Nuo's words, Xu Bowen didn't mean to be decadent, but was ecstatic. His Highness didn't object immediately and said it was a good project?

What a fart!

It doesn't matter if it's not easy to do, isn't it easy to do today's steam engine?

And those projects in the scientific research institute in my hometown, which one seems to be easy to do?

There are not no projects that are really easy to do, but they are all assigned to the ordinary researchers below.

Top researchers have their own arrogance. We will do what is easy for you, and you can come to us for advice if you have any questions. We will either not do it, and do the best and the hardest.

Now that His Highness has not rejected our request, then there is something to talk about.

Zhang Nuo didn't know what Xu Bowen was thinking about at the moment, but said seriously,

"Old Xu, if you can give me a reasonable arrangement and tell me when the steam engine project will be successful, I can allow you to start this flying project!"

"After all, at present, the steam engine is the most important thing to us. With this thing, the whole empire will change!"

"As for the airship, many of the materials need steam engines to assist in the completion, otherwise it can be avoided!"

Xu Bowen immediately became excited when he heard it. It's good to be able to talk. Don't be afraid of conditions, just be afraid that you won't be able to talk!

Of course he knew the importance of the steam engine, but this time the entire scientific research institute was ordered to die by His Royal Highness King Qin, and everything else was stopped, and everyone had to focus on the research and development of the steam engine.

He himself is actually very interested in the steam engine, otherwise he would not have gone to do technical verification in the first place.

Moreover, His Royal Highness King Qin also said just now that the steam engine is a necessary tool for the Feitian Project, so it must be produced!

Thinking of this, Xu Bowen was so excited that his voice couldn't help but grow louder.

"Your Highness, please don't worry, I will definitely work overtime recently to get the steam engine out first, as long as you allow me to study the Feitian project when I rest and leave my job!"

Zhang Nuo nodded noncommittally, but he didn't take out any blueprints as Xu Bowen imagined. Instead, he produced several books and put them in front of Xu Bowen.

"These books are the advanced versions of the materials you read in Lantian City. Whether you want to study the Feitian project or the follow-up research on steam engines, the knowledge you learned in Lantian City alone is not enough!"

"Instead of thinking about that Feitian project in your spare time without a clue, you might as well take the time to make up for your lack of knowledge!"

Xu Bowen's eyes are almost shining now!

Wow, wow, I finally got the new knowledge that His Highness King Qin created, it's not easy!

Who among all the colleagues in the entire research institute does not know that His Highness King Qin has a lot of new knowledge in his hands, and many people even have a guess, is it possible that His Highness King Qin can never finish learning new knowledge?

Because almost everyone feels that after they know a lot, as long as they apply, a new book will appear that they have never thought of, but it is all about more advanced knowledge than before.

Many people are actually waiting to get a few new books from His Royal Highness Qin Wang, although His Highness Qin Wang requested that all books not be kept private.However, if you don't thoroughly understand what you have at hand, you are not qualified to read the next book.

In order to make things difficult for the younger generation, the group of the most talented scientific researchers are extremely shameless. Want to read the next book?

Okay, come on, let the senior give you a paper to test your level!

You don’t know how to do this, you’re a piece of trash, go back and read the book, and wait until you’ve thoroughly studied it before reading the next book!

For such a system, many people have been tossed to death and have a headache.But at the same time, when they advanced to read books of the next level, they turned their heads and gritted their teeth and began to torment their juniors.

However, Zhang Nuo is happy to see the results of this situation. On the one hand, it makes everyone pay more attention to knowledge. On the other hand, it is actually a kind of screening. Some talents are not enough. Under this system, they can only slowly fall behind Finally become an ordinary person.

Scientific research is actually a career that values ​​talent very much. Sometimes you have to admit that some people are really geniuses in certain aspects.

Chapter 515 The Predicament of Insufficient Military Strength

In the end, Zhang Nuo gave Xu Bowen some water and gave him some simple information about airships and hot air balloons, which provided him with ideas.

Zhang Nuo originally planned to ask Xu Bowen to lay the groundwork first, but then he thought that it was all for research anyway, and it is not appropriate to give technical information now, so it is actually good to give him some basic information to give him some ideas.

After all, if there is a way forward, at least know what knowledge to prepare and what conditions to have!

Zhang Nuo didn't stay in the scientific research institute any longer, because some guards came directly to call someone, and a military report was sent back. This is something that Zhang Nuo can only deal with. Even Ma Zhou, the official history of the Prince of Qin, can only read it. with.

As soon as Zhang Nuo heard that it was a military newspaper, Zhang Nuo lost the desire to continue wandering around, and turned around and walked towards the palace.

Ma Zhou was already waiting there, and when he saw Zhang Nuo coming in, he didn't bother to salute, so he handed over the military newspaper.

Zhang Nuo frowned and took the military newspaper and read it.

He knew Qin Qiong's character, and if he hadn't encountered unsolvable troubles, he would never have sent military reports for no reason when it was not necessary.
