Chapter 64 Scales
"Okay, I have nothing to ask now. Song Chen, don't blame me for asking so directly. Someone has to ask these questions!" Li Tingzhi even hugged him, which made Song Chen feel embarrassed. Unexpectedly, this person is a person with a temperament.
"Song Chen continues!" Wen Tianxiang fully understood Li Tingzhi's "de-desk-off question" because he strongly supported the use of Song Chen's new technology in firearm workshops across the country. Even Wen Tianxiang, as a teacher of Song Chen, did not support this as much as he did.
"The amount of new gunpowder can be used as twice that of old gunpowder!" Song Chen explained in detail, fearing that he would miss any important details and not give this group of people the opportunity to pick bones in any way.
"What, Song Chen, your wishful thinking is better. Double, why don't you say three times? In this way, a three-year-old child can make up the 'new gunpowder' you say!" Lu Shimeng immediately jumped out and directly accused him of the four words "new gunpowder" added to the extreme.
Originally, Lu Shimeng was a little worried about Song Chen. Since he beat Liu Mengyan, who had the most popular relationship in the court, it was like he was exterminated from the entire scholar-official class of the Song Dynasty. No matter how hard this guy jumped, he would not have made any progress. When the enemy was in trouble, he said that he had to step on anything to relieve his anger.
Now he jumped out and showed that he was standing by his side and could make Liu Mengyan owe favors. This deal was very cost-effective.
Li Tingzhi also felt that Lu Shimeng's words were quite in line with his heart. Now he didn't need to say such offensive words. If Lu Shimeng didn't jump out, he should be the evil person.
Although Song Chen is still a small character who has not entered the core of power, according to his unique personality, he has also offered new inventions to the court every few days. These new inventions can change the world. I have a premonition that one day, he will make a splash and make a fortune.
Of course, if such a potential person is not offended, he will not offend him. Li Tingzhi is a straight-minded person and has never had much scruples in doing things. That doesn't mean he is a rough man. On the contrary, his mind also has a very delicate side, provided that when he feels that it is necessary.
"Mr. Lu said it very reasonably. I originally planned to give the same amount demonstration later. Since all the adults have proposed it, let's do it now. Indeed, the effect of the demonstration is more intuitive. Master Lu would be better off stepping down to observe, or even recharge it yourself, so the effect of the experiment is more convincing!" Song Chen's words seemed respectful, but in fact, the needles were hidden in the cotton. The big guys present were thinking that they were really a newborn calf and were not afraid of a tiger!
"Hmph!" Lu Shimeng couldn't hear Song Chen's words being thorny, but he couldn't get a good deal in his mouth for the time being.
If he, the Minister of War, counterattacked, he would be said to be a second-rank official in the court, how could he be so quick with a little guy? That would be a very expensive one.
At this time, the eyes of the venue were all focused on Song Chen's head. Song Chen enjoyed this feeling of attention. He cleared his throat and felt that the atmosphere was almost done. Song Chen made a gesture and announced that the martial arts performance had officially begun!
The first step is to fill the gunpowder under the supervision of everyone. The same amount of two different gunpowder must be convincing, otherwise they will definitely have something to say later.
This work that requires eloquence and skill is most appropriate for Tian Xiaobao, a clever guy. This kid is skillful and has a good idea.
First, Tian Xiaobao put the two types of gunpowder in two large plates and made eye-catching marks, and then took them to the stage for the big guys to watch.
Secondly, he took out a scale and something that could not be named. There was a base below the thing, with a smooth beam with scales on it, and two discs were placed at both ends.
This must be another fresh trick made by Song Chen. This kid can actually make iron so smooth and standard products. It's really a big deal.
More than a dozen square iron blocks were out, and Tian Xiaobao called them weights, and he made several demonstrations.
The audience finally understood the function of this kind of thing called a "balance", which can accurately weigh the weight of an object, and place it on both ends of the balance, and it is clear at a glance.
Song Chen has done this, and finally no big shots have been picked on!
"Xiang Jia, please choose a gun, one of two types of gunpowder!" Song Chen said respectfully.
Lao Jia is the highest official position present. In order to prevent everyone from finding any fault, Song Chen asked this person to choose a gun, which also left everyone speechless.
"Song Chen, to be honest, I don't recognize the quality of the gun. By then, the new gunpowder uses good guns, but the old gunpowder uses bad guns. How can we ensure the fairness of the test?" Jia Sidao expressed everyone's doubts, and Lu Shimeng snorted coldly.
"Jia Xiang, this is the greatest fairness. The biggest advantage of new gunpowder is that it can increase the dosage of gunpowder without letting the gun explode. But old gunpowder cannot do this, the effect of the experiment will also be reflected in the gun. Sharing one gun is the greatest injustice!" Song Chen had long thought that they would say this, and answered truthfully why different guns should be used.
"So you ask me to choose a gun to demonstrate fairness in martial arts." Jia Sidao had long understood this and said it for others.
Song Chen nodded.
"Okay, let me choose." Old Jia still gave Song Chen a favor.
Seeing the more than 100 guns in the box, they were almost the same, Lao Jia didn't know how to choose.
"Wait, Lord Lu, I think it's best for you to choose as the Minister of War. How about it!" Jia Sidao said meaningfully with a sudden inspiration.
The big guys present understood in their hearts that Lu Shimeng's almost questioning tone showed that he was hostile to Song Chen, and he would choose the gun, and the results of the experiment were absolutely convinced.
This small detail shows Lao Jia's attitude towards Song Chen, and actually considers Song Chen this. It seems that this old man is very optimistic about Song Chen.
"It's better to obey your orders than respect!" At the beginning, Lu Shimeng was very unhappy. Didn't you, Lao Jia, look for me as a stepping stone, and just want to refuse with righteousness.
He discovered a "very special" gun. He had been in the army for more than 20 years and two years of experience as the Minister of War, which allowed him to train a pair of fiery eyes and had a good eye for the quality of weapons.
He just glanced at it and found a unique gun with a twisted barrel and a thin wall. In fact, it was in a bunch of exactly the same guns. If it wasn't sharp-eyed, it would be impossible to detect it.
He also knew that the old-fashioned gunpowder he just brought was specially made by Shouchun's old gunpowder craftsman. Its power is not the same level, and the working hours are ten times that of the normal process. All of this has the shadow of Liu Mengyan.
