Chapter 24 Props
"The best Tianhuang frozen stone... tsk tsk, this thing is really not cheap..."
Surprised by the high price of Tianhuang stones, Zhu Guoqiang, who had become a multi-millionaire inexplicably, even wondered if he should have someone go to Fujian to get a few baskets of Tianhuang stones now.
"This saves trouble."
However, you can't have too many of these things. Too much will attract people's attention.
"Oh, it seems that we still need to find some safer roads. This road must be wide and paved. It is best to use large-scale goods that do not attract attention... But such things are not valuable?"
It’s difficult!
I have a headache!
After traveling through time, what should I bring with me to sell?
It's urgent, waiting online!
While thinking about it in his mind, Zhu Guoqiang turned on his phone again, and then scrolled through other people's replies. Now these netizens are his senior advisers, and this post is his staff headquarters! Although most of them are ridicules, there are still some among them.
Some of the suggestions were good. Even the Q&A between them explained everything clearly.
"First of all, you should consider strengthening the city wall. Since the city wall is damaged, it is your last barrier. As long as the city wall is strong enough, even if the enemy attacks the city, it will still be a waste of energy. And according to the conditions you gave, the Qing army will
The intruders are intent on plundering, and they cannot afford casualties. They will be the first to be unable to hold on if they are exhausted."
"Reinforce the city wall? Is it possible to use reinforced concrete to reinforce it?"
"Reinforced concrete must be reinforced. What's the point of the question if there is no reinforced concrete?"
"No, the space-time gate must have limitations, and using concrete in winter is also a problem. Just like the fortress was reinforced during the Civil War, baskets were used to reinforce the city walls, and steel cables were used to fix and connect them in the middle. Except for the steel cables, everything else is
It’s made from local materials.”
"This is a good suggestion..."
Looking at their suggestions, especially the "big household in the Western Regions", in addition to giving suggestions for strengthening the city wall, he also specially listed a few pictures of fortress baskets and fixings. Zhu Guoqiang nodded from time to time and had to admit that everyone gathered together
With his wisdom, the problem of defending the city was almost solved. Scroll down the page and another answer immediately attracted his attention.
"In fact, the important weapons of the city wall are more important. As long as the problem of weapons is solved - even if it is cannons and flintlocks, let alone a city wall, we can still defend it without a city wall."
Hey, it's a weapon again.
How about taking a trip to Russia and taking an adventure?
While talking to himself, Zhu Guoqiang continued to read other people's replies. Of course, most of them ridiculed him for being unrealistic, but this guy named "Wild Elephant Bobo" gave his plan in a calm and unhurried manner.
"It's not like buying aircraft cannons. I'm talking about muzzle-loading cannons and flintlock guns. Isn't it easy to get those things? Things like the 12-pound Napoleon cannon can be made by any foundry. As for the cannonballs,
Please look for ball mill steel balls, 120 mm steel balls, 6.8 kg iron eggs, as many big country-made pipes as you want..."
Netizens' suggestions made Zhu Guoqiang's eyes light up, and even his breathing became a little short.
That's right!
Why do you have to go abroad to buy guns and cannons? You can make them yourself!
"Easy for you to say, made in a foundry? Are you treating the Yamen police officers as if they don't exist?"
"I guess there will be a free silver bracelet by then..."
Looking at everyone's replies, Zhu Guoqiang was not in a hurry, but kept waiting for the other party's answer. However, the guy named "Wild Elephant Bobo" did not give an answer immediately. It was not until night that Zhu Guoqiang finally saw
His reply.
"You are stupid. After you find the drawings and ask others to cast them, tell them they are models or props from the scenic area. Who will ask you so many questions then?"
With a "boom", Zhu Guoqiang immediately thought of the cast-iron cannons he had seen in movies and TV series, as if his mind was suddenly opened, and he immediately replied.
"Sure enough, the words woke up the dreamer. This suggestion is simply perfect. If you cast a few doors in the name of a prop, the problem will be solved perfectly."
Maybe the other party was online, and Zhu Guoqiang saw his answer after a while.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be props. It can be anything like garden decoration. There are even ready-made items for sale online. You can search for "house-killing cannon."
That night, Zhu Guoqiang communicated with this "emperor of the Han Dynasty" for a long time through the Internet, and not only solved the problem of artillery, but also the problem of muskets.
"Hey, dear, there are 17mm, 18mm, and non-standard weighted lead shot..."
Even as a former employee of a trading company, Zhu Guoqiang had to be surprised by what he discovered. He did not expect that the so-called "weapons" were actually ordinary commodities.
"The weighted lead shot may not be standard enough, but it is barely enough. If the quantity is large, precision lead shot can be customized directly..."
In a room thousands of kilometers away, the man lying on the bed thought about it before replying.
"As for fire and medicine, it's even simpler. You can directly purchase potassium nitrate and sulfur, which are products with a purity of over 99.9%. At that time, this kind of quality was definitely a magic weapon, not to mention unparalleled."
"Oh, now that you've reminded me, I remembered that there are even ready-made gunpowder granulators for the production of fireworks!"
"Yes, there is such a specialized factory in our hometown. Many shops on the roadside provide three-flavor machines, medicine screening machines, granulators, photochemical machines, soot blowers and other equipment. It is over there in Liuyang
.”
"Not to mention machines, you can buy gunpowder directly there, even tons of it..."
Although it was past twelve o'clock, everyone seemed bored and gave various suggestions. Some even suggested setting up a film and television company, and even listed the various advantages of a film and television company.
"In addition to being able to customize props without arousing suspicion, setting up a film and television company also has the advantage of being able to recruit young stars..."
"You are still a little star. They are all from the time and space gate of the late Ming Dynasty. Have you heard of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan... By the way, if these eight beauties were brought to modern times to make movies, I don't know what would happen.
What effect..."
"That's right. With the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai, who would want any little stars? Answer, where is the door? Can you bring someone over?"
"Take me there and let us enjoy the decadent life of a feudal lord..."
After a while, the originally upright building naturally became crooked. However, for Zhu Guoqiang, he didn't care whether the building was crooked or not. Anyway, he got what he wanted.
Staring at the suggestions given by netizens, he murmured to himself.
Chapter completed!
