Chapter five hundred and nineteen: play yin
Cang Yuanshan stomped his feet and stopped Ning Yuanhou who was about to speak. He quickly looked at Zhou Heng and said:
"We don't need to lay the groundwork, just say who are you talking about these people?"
Zhou Heng pointed to Beishan and said:
"I opened a medical school in Beishan. Many young people from poor families nearby come here to study. After all, it is free and can also learn literacy and mathematics. The earliest ones may have studied for half a year.
Among these people, some of them have not made much progress in medical skills, but they are very interested in mathology. I originally wanted to open a project related to flying balls in the research institute. Now I think about it, it is better to pull these people over first. After all, they have a strong ability in mathology, and they have a certain understanding of the position, height, and speed, which makes it easier to get started."
Ning Yuanhou and Cang Yuanshan paused and nodded to Zhou Heng. After listening to Zhou Heng’s introduction just now, they knew the role of this control player. This is the person who controls the life and death of the flying ball. It is indeed very important to be calm and mindful. Even if they have any defects in military affairs.
"I think it's OK, but although these don't require archery to kill the enemy, they also need to be physically better. It's not easy for this person to hang in the basket for a day."
Zhou Heng nodded, and he had naturally thought of this.
"This is natural, so I'll bother Ning Yuanhou and the Old General Cang to search for shooters. It's best to have amazing arm strength. We can choose heavy arrows. This is better. If there are three shooters on a flying ball, the lethality will naturally be much higher."
Ning Yuanhou highly recognized Zhou Heng's words and took a look at Feiqiu again.
"If this thing can bring more people, wouldn't it be a divine weapon from heaven?"
Zhou Heng glanced at Ning Yuanhou. This idea was not impossible, but the current technology was not mature.
"The technology is still in the exploratory stage, and we are pursuing flexibility and speed. If there are too many people, flexibility and speed will definitely be affected.
Furthermore, there are some necessities for carrying four people. The flying ball is already so big. Our current fuel can last up to a day and a night.
To carry more people, the vine basket must be enlarged, the flying ball must be enlarged, and the fuel tank must be enlarged. In this way, the target will be easily discovered when it is too big, so it is still necessary to be precise.
As for tactics, they must be formulated according to this premise. Flexibility and precision are the key to speed. However, one team of flying balls can be dispatched at a time. In this way, the effect will be much better than that of one."
Ning Yuanhou seemed to have been opened to a new continent, standing there, constantly flashing his eyes. Cang Yuanshan did not disturb him. I don’t know how long he paused, Ning Yuanhou reached out to touch the vine basket.
"Boy Zhou, you are really a strange talent. Although you don't know how to lead troops to fight, you are born without learning this. You are in your bones!"
Zhou Heng instantly had a black face and sighed behind his hands.
"How can I say that? I have no choice. Our Daliang horses are not as strong as the Tatars, our bodies are not as strong as the Oirat, and our water battles are not as strong as the Japan, and our land is fertile and the climate is warm. We are always thinking of people. Since we cannot fight head-on, we naturally have to find a suitable method, which is to defeat the enemy and reduce casualties. This is the most effective, right?"
Ning Yuanhou patted Zhou Heng's arm, how could he not know about these?
However, these words can be said unscrupulously to them. If the censors know that the disputes between the verbals are light, it is not impossible to impeach and punish them.
"You are right, but it's better for us to say this. Now that we've come out today, I don't think Xiao Fang has to send us. It's better for him to be here with you. At least he's the one around the emperor, and no one can say anything."
Cang Yuanshan also nodded, "Yes, we will go back to Beijing now. I will go to the convening people and go to Old Man Lu's house together later to discuss these matters."
The next day, in the imperial study room.
The old emperor rubbed his forehead and took the teacup from Fang Jizhong's hand. He lost his usual elegance. He drank several sips in a row. Fang Jizhong came over and rubbed his temples for the old emperor.
"Why would your Majesty pass the imperial physician over here to show you?"
The old emperor waved his hand, "No, I won't have a headache if I send these old generals away. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhou Heng gave them. I went to court all this morning, but these censors were rarely choked. The increase in military spending was done."
Fang Jizhong laughed, "This was not instructed by Your Majesty, otherwise the judgment of the Zhou Yuan would not dare to reveal a word."
The old emperor nodded with a smile on his face.
"Well, don't say that he did this very well. Fang Hua also needs to reward him. From now on, he will follow Zhou Heng and the others. I can also know some details and instruct Fang Hua to listen more and watch more. This matter is very important."
Fang Jizhong nodded quickly, he knew what the old emperor meant.
"Don't worry, if there is any disturbance or something beyond control, Fang Hua will send back the news as soon as possible, and the factory guards will release them to follow.
In addition, I heard that the group of people selected by Duke Wei for Yang Weijun had been trained and would go to Fujian in three days."
The old emperor opened his eyes and glanced at him.
"Well, Duke Wei's grandson should also exercise. If he leaves this matter to him, he will do his best. By the way, how about the flying ball experiment?"
Fang Jizhong stopped his movements and said quickly:
"Fang Hua sent the letter back and said that the flying ball flew directly from Beishan to the open space outside the northeast corner of the capital in just two minutes, with an amazing speed."
The old emperor's calm face instantly showed a look of surprise.
"That is to say, can this flying ball really fly into the sky?"
Fang Jizhong nodded, "It's not only flying into the sky, but also having an amazing speed. I heard that even so, Zhou Yuan verdicted them not very satisfied. It seems that there are some design flaws and they need to be improved.
Oh, I remembered it, and it was said that when landing, the descent speed was too fast, and the exhaust hole was not easy to open, so it was not very convenient to control it. I was fiddling with these last night."
The old emperor stood up and paced back and forth a few steps.
At first, he just thought Zhou Hengduo was boasting, and the flying ball was so shocking.
But if you don’t try this, you don’t know if it’s OK. He just hopes that Zhou Heng and the others can try more. Unexpectedly, it’s only half a month before the test flight was successful.
Even so, they did not make a greedy effort, but instead found problems and prepared for further improvements.
"It seems that I really underestimated them. Zhou Heng really surprised me. If he was not a doctor, he should have asked him to go to the Ministry of War. Lu Pingbei said it well, this guy has great achievements!"
Fang Jizhong quickly came over and picked up the memorial that the old emperor had gotten up and brought down, with a sign-like smile on his face.
"I have a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not?"
The old emperor glanced at him. Fang Jizhong grew up with him. The ministers in the court and the concubines in the harem were not close to Fang Jizhong.
"I just say it all the time when I think of it. I will not cure you!"
Fang Jizhong bowed and said:
"To be honest, Zhou Yuan is an unrestrained person. He has been to the Imperial Hospital several times since he served as the hospital. One is because he was worried because he was in charge of the administration of Liu Yuan, and the other is because he was unwilling to involve energy and worry-free.
To put it bluntly, he likes to do what he likes. If he is unrestrained, if he is asked to go to the Ministry of War, not to mention how the people in the court will view it, he himself would not be willing."
The old emperor thought about it carefully. Not to mention that Zhou Heng was like this, except for going to the imperial pharmacy to get a bunch of good medicine, it seemed that he had never been to the Imperial Hospital. Even the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shu were all acting on orders.
He seems to be addicted to doing business and treating patients, and he really likes to do it, so whether it is Beishan, Fujian's rubber trees, or even flying balls, these are all out of interest.
Even the cultivation of corn and gold potatoes, how great it is, it is easily thrown to Liu Renli and Zhang Fuling.
I thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. When Fang Jizhong said it, he understood that all this was just because Zhou Heng was afraid of trouble.
If such a person really restrains him to the Ministry of War, or how he is appointed, it will be a restraint for him, which will affect his enthusiasm for everything.
The old emperor sighed and looked at Fang Jizhong.
"It seems that I am not as profound as you think. Zhou Heng is indeed an unrestrained person. But since he and the prince are inseparable, let's also go around."
Fang Jizhong burst out laughing, but he felt as if he was bowing.
"Your Majesty atonement, I can't help it, but if Zhou Hengru knew what Your Majesty was thinking at this moment, would it be?"
