336 Trial Gunpowder 1
A few years ago, Lu Ning and Ma Jun made a fountain pen with water. The tip of the pen was made of real gold, and Lu Ning also ended the embarrassing situation of not being able to write. However, Lu Ning continued to write in simplified Chinese characters from later generations. Lu Ning used the evening time and through several years of careful sorting, he simply created some of the things he learned from later generations, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, geometry, mechanical knowledge, mechanical design, popular science knowledge, natural science, and other things he learned from later generations, and asked Ma Jun to print them out.
Lu Ning thought that these things were not useful now, but after sorting them out, they should be useful for the rejuvenation of our nation, and don’t let future generations take detours. Of course, these things have a huge impact on Ma Jun. After he got these books, he was really hungry and very helpful for his inventions. Many products produced in Lu Ning’s jurisdiction were actually made according to the principles in the books.
Lu Ning now asked Ma Jun to focus on how to improve the power of the steam engine, and the research on electricity is also very important. With electricity, many things will be easy to manufacture and many equipment will be easy to design. Although Lu Ning also knows some, it will be useless if there is no electricity. Although Lu Ning also knows the principle of electricity, it is not easy to make it.
Lu Ning was sorting out some things from later generations in the study. The maid Xiaoyan came to tell Lu Ning that it was Guo Jia who came to find Lu Ning. Lu Ning asked her to call people in. I wonder what happened again. Guo Jia was the first time to come to Lu Ning's study. After the ceremony, he looked around. There were a lot of books in Lu Ning's study, many of which were isolated books, and they were specially found in the royal library. Most people could not see them outside, especially the books of military arts were complete. This was mainly for Zhen Mi, and there were various classic historical collections, even Dongfang Shuo's manuscripts, but basically Lu Ning couldn't understand them. They were all in traditional Chinese characters. This was mainly for Cai Yan and Zhen Mi and the others. For Lu Ning, it was just a decoration.
Guo Jia read it for a long time before saying, "Lord, there are so many books in your study."
After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and said, "Fengxiao, are you laughing at me? These books are all read by my wife and the others, but I can't understand half a word, but many of them are the best books, they are all made by the emperor."
After hearing this, Guo Jia said, "Lord, you have indeed stolen a lot of books from the royal library. I have also checked them, but it seems that there are not many books such as military strategy and geography."
After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "A large part of the books such as military strategy, geography, and technology are here. If you want to read it, come and pick it up."
When Guo Jia came in, he saw Lu Ning writing something, and he felt even more depressed. Aren’t you illiterate? Then what are you writing? "My lord, since you can’t even understand books, what are you writing?"
Lu Ning doesn’t know traditional Chinese characters, but it doesn’t mean that Lu Ning can’t understand literacy. Can Lu Ning tell you clearly? “I’m writing some things that Ma Jun and the others need. I can’t understand traditional Chinese books, but I can write simplified Chinese characters. I don’t know how to use a brush, but I can use a fountain pen. What’s the strange thing about this?”
After hearing this, Guo Jia was even more puzzled. What was he saying, but it was not convenient to ask in detail, so he had to say, "Can I see what the lord wrote?"
Lu Ning looked up at him and said, "You can read it casually. I made these printed copies next to me. There are many books, I guess you won't understand it."
Guo Jia looked through more than ten books in a row, but none of them could understand. Not only did he not recognize the words, but he had never seen the symbols in the book, and he didn't know what it was. "I really can't understand them, especially those ghost symbols, which are unheard of. It was the first time I've seen them. What books are they?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "You and I can't explain clearly, but one thing I can tell you is that they are all very useful books, which will be helpful to the future technological progress of our Han people. In simple terms, it should be called miscellaneous studies."
Guo Jia said seriously: "Lord, then can you understand these things?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Fengxiao, I wrote the books, how can I not understand them?"
Guo Jia followed and asked to the end: "Where did the lord learn these things?"
At this time, Zhen Mi, who had just entered the study, heard Guo Jia's question and immediately said, "Sister Chang'e in the sky taught her in her dream." After that, she laughed.
Lu Ning glanced at Zhen Mi and said, "Little Nizi, what are you doing when you come in? Fengxiao and I have a job to talk about."
Zhen Mi grimaced at Lu Ning and said, "I will leave after taking this book, it won't affect you." After that, he found the book she wanted, picked it up and went out.
Guo Jia then remembered that there was something to find Lu Ning. After coming in, he saw too many books and forgot the matter. "Lord, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are fighting now. Are we going to get some territory? This is a great opportunity."
Lu Ning thought for a long time and now he took over Lao Cao. This will change too much historical progress. It would be better to observe it first. After all, Lao Cao has the ability to let him destroy a few more princes. It is not too late for Lu Ning to fight him in the end. "Fengxiao, if our army attacks Yanzhou now, there is hope to take some parts of Yanzhou under the tent, but in that case, our army's defensive front line is too long and our army does not have so much force. Now the northeast needs to use troops, and the force will be very tight. Besides, if our army attacks at this time
If it is said, it will make all the princes in the world turn into a group to deal with us. It seems that it is a bit early for our army. We have to prepare for two more years. In that case, the situation will be different. The battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu will be a while. I think our army can seize the Guandu place next year. In the future, the decisive battle between our army and Cao Cao will mainly be in Guandu. As long as our army seizes Guandu, all the territory of Cao Cao will be under the attack of our army. It is better to seize a few important strongholds first, and the big battle will be slowed down."
Guo Jia looked at the map and thought for a while and said, "Lord, we can grab Puyang City in Lu Bu's hands now, and that place is also very important."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Fengxiao, I have considered Puyang. Puyang is Cao Cao's gateway. Once we occupy it, we must fight him to a decisive battle. I am not afraid of Cao Cao, but Lao Cao is very capable. It is better for him to deal with other princes than others. As long as our technology level is improved, the soldiers' equipment is better. Our army will finally get rid of Cao Cao, and it will solve the problem. Why not fight in the east and west? Besides, our army has just captured Jizhou, and we have not fully controlled it.
It takes time to defeat the territory, but it is not easy to manage. I still want to wait until the problem in the northeast is solved, and solve the problems of Yongzhou and Liangzhou first, so that our army can conquer the countries in the Western Regions and completely solve the border problems of our Han people. By then, all the war horses will be under our control. Fengxiao said, can infantry resist elite cavalry? Besides, our army's compound bows and crossbows are very powerful long-range attack weapons, so why are you afraid of Lao Cao?"
