Standardization was also mentioned above, which means that things in the future can be interchangeable, but now they are still made by hand, so it may be difficult to achieve standardization.

Qing Dynasty

Emperor Jiaqing was flipping through the records of previous emperors and found that his ancestors did not like cannons very much. What should he do? If he vigorously built cannons, the Eight Banners descendants would not agree.

They are already satisfied with this life and don't want to learn artillery technology.

If it had not been built, the Qing Dynasty might not have been able to avoid sinking, just as the host said before, more than a hundred years later, the country's doors were opened by the West with its powerful ships and cannons.

I have a headache.

Let’s check the previous records to see if there is any mention of this kind of thing.

[The artillery needs to stop firing after a certain period of time to prevent overheating and explosion. I suggest doing an experiment to see how many shots can be fired.]

Another drawback of artillery is that it's too heavy. Even with wheels, it still needs to be transported. If you don't have many horses, you'll probably only be able to defend a city.

Therefore, how to make artillery lighter and able to fire farther has always been the research goal.

[Artillery shells may seem simple, but they're not necessarily so. From a solid iron ball to our current laser-guided headless shells, it's taken generations of research.]

[One last tip: Wrap the cannon powder bag with silk to leave less residue.]

After the video was over, Qi Cheng was just about to go to bed when his mother called again. The first thing she said was that it was the person introduced by a relative, and she wanted to see him tomorrow morning.

"It's too sudden, I..."

"It's not easy to introduce someone to a partner. They also ask someone to do the matchmaking. If you don't go, where will the matchmaker be? Who will introduce you to someone in the future?"

Qi Cheng could only agree helplessly.

The common people outside the sky instantly burst into infinite interest. They just watched the video introducing the artillery for fun. They didn't have that much iron in their hands.

Even if they had iron, they wouldn't dare to do it. If the imperial court knew about it, they would definitely execute their entire family.

But blind dates can arouse their interest, and gossip has been a hobby of people since ancient times.

The host seems to have a good character and has some savings. I wonder what kind of lady the matchmaker can introduce to her, but at least she should be well-educated and well-mannered.

"Go to sleep, go home and sleep quickly. We'll know the result tomorrow. Someone as good as the anchor will definitely find a partner. How could she be single?"

The next morning, Qi Cheng slept until he woke up naturally. He felt well-rested. After taking a shower, he found his good clothes.

"The anchor looks like a completely different person after getting dressed like this. Although I can't say he's as handsome as Pan An, he looks very energetic. This dress is also nice. I'll ask the tailor to make a few pieces like this."

Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Cheng drove to a cafe on the beach. He carefully looked at the environment and found it was indeed a nice place.

There was a gentle breeze. Each seat was blocked by a partition, and there were some green plants on the partitions. They looked so realistic that even Qi Cheng couldn't tell whether they were real or fake.

Overall, it has a rainforest feel.

"What is this... a big forest?" Li Shimin looked at the sky and couldn't understand. Before, many people liked to survive in the wilderness and build houses, but now there are such restaurants in the city.

So people in later generations like wild fun, right?

What happened next shocked Li Shimin even more. The coffee sold here actually cost more than fifty yuan a cup. He remembered that the host and his brothers had a good meal for less than five hundred yuan.

In other words, drinking ten cups of coffee is enough for the host to have a good meal with his friends.

The prices here are a bit too high.

Why did the woman choose such a place?

Qi Cheng ordered two cups of coffee and waited for about half an hour. Then a woman wearing high heels and heavy makeup came over. She glanced at Qi Cheng and slowly sat down.
