Zhu Xi and his party visited the industry and then the agriculture in the Special Administrative Region. After visiting, they couldn't help but sigh that the Special Administrative Region has only been established for more than a year and they did not expect the development speed to be so fast.

This era was the era when Zhu Xi influenced the world. However, in the special zone, Zhu Xi did not have the opportunity to exert his due influence for the time being, and the other was declining. The time travelers represented by Lao Qiu gradually looked up from looking up to looking straight. With a strong confidence, they thought they could influence Zhu Xi subtly.

Lao Qiu came to Mao Geng's office happily, and Teacher Qian Airu and He Chian were also there.

Seeing Lao Qiu's excited look, Qian Airu asked:

"How is it? What are the reactions of those people from Zhu Xi?"

Lao Qiu smiled and said:

"Hehe, Master Zhu Xi has been studying the carriage for a long time. I talked to him for a long time, but in the end I couldn't help it. Even the matter of pneumatic tires broke the news with Master. I think the vehicle industry in the Song Dynasty has great potential, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and travel issues are a big problem. The two-wheeled carriage performance in this era is too bad. The four-wheeled carriage industry should have great development prospects. Think about the automobile industry in the future. This is a big industry of tens of millions!"

"Shipbuilding is preferred. You can get on the railway in a few years. After all, four-wheeled carriages are a transition, and railways are the king."

He Chian insisted on his own point of view. The travelers have discussed it many times. There is no dispute that the shipbuilding industry will give priority to the development of the shipbuilding industry. They each have their own opinions on four-wheeled carriages and railways. In the three-year plan, railways are at the end, which is to consider that there is no such condition for the time being.

Mao Geng didn't want to have a meaningless argument, so he said:

"What do Zhu Xi feel when he saw the sweet potato?"

Lao Qiu said with a flash of eyebrows:

"Mr. I am very happy. I heard from me that sweet potatoes can produce one or two thousand kilograms in the future. I am sincerely happy! Master Zhu Xi also ate half of the sweet potatoes and even said they were delicious. Then he told me about the attempt to measure land. Haha, Master Zhu is really serious! When I came here, I saw that Taiwan could develop countless fields, which was not important. I also told him that there were more land in Hokkaido. Master Zhu then sighed that there were many people and few lands in Fujian, and even the measurement of land was full of obstacles. To be honest, Master Zhu Xi really had his political ideals. He set up a social warehouse and measured the land. He was a good cadre - an excellent cadre in the Song Dynasty! We must strive for such good cadres. Now it seems that the effect is pretty good. Next, it depends on Chief Mao."

Lao Qiu refers to using a firearm to give Zhu Xi a warning. I guess Zhu Xi must look up to him—well, at least he is protecting the time travelers.

He Chian smiled and said:

"In the 21st century, people like Zhu Xi are typical political immature. This old man didn't even give the emperor any face. He didn't say anything good about writing a letter to Emperor Xiaozong. Later, he became Ningzong's teacher. He trained Ningzong as if he was the third grandson. Therefore, when Han Tuozhou wanted to fight Zhu Xi, Ningzong accused him. I don't think it's too optimistic. Zhu Xi and his disciples said it better, their position was very firm, and if they were not good, they were very stubborn. It's probably not that simple to transform Zhu Xi."

Qian Airu said:

"Old He is right. Zhu Xi is said to be very stubborn. He is so old. I am afraid that the country can change its nature and is difficult to change its nature. I am afraid that the habit of being a teacher will not be changed. I am worried that Master Mao will ask Chief Executive Mao to speak out every few days. I don't know if Chief Executive Mao can bear it."

Mao Geng smiled and said to Lao Qiu:

"We are also a PR master of Lao Qiu, and we guarantee that Mr. Zhu Xi will be comfortable and comfortable. Besides, Zhu Xi and I are not studying the same major. I am a layman in Confucianism, so I can't talk to Zhu Xi. However, the Duke Zhao Han, who studied the major is also Confucianism, is probably not at peace with Zhao Han."

Mao Geng thought to himself, let’s not talk about Confucianism with Zhu Xi, we will only talk about science and engineering with you. I guess Zhu Xi will not have the chance to instill his Neo-Confucianism.

The next day, Lao Qiu was no longer with him, but Mao Geng and Lu Jiuyuan. The most confidentiality-specific ones in the Special Administrative Region are naturally firearms. Idle people and others cannot be secretly secreted with Wen Jian. Given that Lao Qiu has no strengths in military industry, he must not be secreted with Wen Jian, so visiting the firearms is excluded.

The weather today is a bit gloomy, as if it will rain at any time. Lu Jiuyuan looked at the sky and thought that as long as it was not heavy rain, it would not affect the test shot, but the demonstration score effect would probably be greatly reduced.

When he arrived at the cannon test site, Zhu Xi and his group were taken to the observation trench. Lu Jiuyuan handed Zhu Xi a pair of telescopes, and now he was taught to Zhu Xi to use them. However, before that, Zhu Xi had already used an astronomical telescope, so he would know it right away without Lu Jiuyuan's words.

The test site was equipped with two artillery guns, one was 40MM artillery and the other was 60MM artillery. In fact, larger-caliber artillery has been tried and tested, but there is no need to use large-caliber artillery weapons like large-caliber artillery to offer treasures to Zhu Xi. The power of the 60MM artillery is enough to allow Zhu Xi to find confidence in the Northern Expedition. Today, the test was two artillery guns with a caliber of less than 60MM.

First, the 40MM caliber artillery test fire. With the sound of "boom", the fire of the muzzle flashed and the spherical iron bomb shot out. A wall at 500 meters made a big hole about a foot.

Lu Jiuyuan explained:

"Brother Yuanhui, please see, this is a brick wall half a foot thick, and it cannot withstand the fierce attack of these 40 cannons."

Zhu Xi raised his telescope and looked at it again, nodded and said:

"I'm very good at it. I don't know what to do with the Baniu Crossbow?"

Lu Jiuyuan smiled, and saw Zhu Xi's disciples take turns to observe the shelling effect with two pairs of telescopes, and then said:

"Brother Yuan Hui, the power of these 40 cannons is above the power of the Eight Niu Crossbow. Brother Yuan Hui will look at the power of the 60 cannons and make an evaluation again."

Zhu Xi and his group of people immediately focused their attention on the large cannon. After a while, a more violent explosion sounded. The gun was flashing with flames and a shell flew straight away. With a bang, a wall in the distance collapsed.

"Brother Yuan Hui, you see it. This wall is also half a foot thick, three miles away from the muzzle. Once the shot is taken, the wall will collapse immediately. Brother Yuan Hui might as well think about what the situation would be if this iron bullet hits a person."

After watching the demonstration, Zhu Xi was already defeated by the power of the cannon, so he was naturally inspired and said proudly:

"With such a powerful weapon, even if the Jin soldiers and Iron Pagoda appear, they can still be destroyed."

Speaking of this, I felt quite incredible and thought:

"I didn't expect that there was such a mighty power! This cannon fired iron bullets with gunpowder, which was so powerful. It was truly amazing." Zhu Xi couldn't help but wonder what the principle was and why it was more powerful than the Eight Cow Crossbow. It took twenty people to open the bow of the Eight Cow Crossbow, and the cannon only needs one person to pull the rope, and the heavy iron bullet sprayed far and wide. What's the reason?

Of course, Mao Geng’s design is more particular. The fuse ignition is too old-fashioned, so he directly uses glass powder and gunpowder to pull the fire, which is at least one level advanced.

"Brother Yuan Hui, look at it again. This cannon can use an iron ball to strike at a long range. It is equipped with a kind of shotgun, which is specialized in attacking enemies within dozens of steps. It hits a large piece of the game, and its power is unparalleled."

The operators were busy without waiting for the smoke to dissipate.

After a while, a large wooden board was erected outside thirty steps, and the cannon here was ready.

There was another huge roar. This time, a bunch of sand fog shot out with the flames. After a series of sounds, the big wooden board fell backwards.

The six people then lifted the wooden board over and asked Zhu Xi and his party to check the effect of the shelling. They saw that the wooden board was about two inches thick and had holes that were riddled with holes, including holes that were as thick as a penetrating finger, and whether there were holes that were penetrated.

Zhu Xi took a deep breath and shook his head and sighed:

"Even if you are wearing iron armor, you can't think of such a bunch of iron sand sweeping across!"

"Of course, the iron armor cannot be stopped. The shotgun is powerful. One hit and one block, if the enemy soldiers rushed over, if this gun goes down, I am afraid that a dozen people in a row will be full of holes."

Zhu Xi's disciples touched the wooden board and imagined a row of Jin soldiers rushing over by iron sand, which was very excited.

Because of the large-caliber artillery, Mao Geng no longer takes this kind of small cannon seriously, but the effect of the demonstration today is really good. Looking at Zhu Xi's situation, after watching it, his eyes were full of spirit. I guess he was going to make a decision on how to fight the North at this moment.

After watching the cannon demonstration, I immediately went to the musket test site.

The musket test firing is not as powerful as a cannon, but it is also shocking.

A bullet killed a lively pig, which was a bit incredible anyway.

Unless an arrow hits the vital point, it usually cannot kill people. Someone is hit by eight or nine arrows and still lives well, but an arrow is much heavier than a bullet, but a small bullet can kill people, which makes Zhu Xi quite puzzled.

It’s hard to understand, but it’s the truth.

After several months of improvement, the slug-type musket designed by Mao Geng is now mass-produced. Of course, Chen Yujie's contribution is also made. This type of musket is divided into rifled and smoothbore type. The slug-type is called Type 90, and the smoothbore type is called Type 89. The smoothbore type has a gun since 1189, so it is called Type 89. The slug-type was released in 1190, so it is named Type 90. The 89-type smoothbore type is a shotgun, which fires shotgun, and Type 90 is a rifle that fires bullets.

However, the current production capacity is still very limited. Although it uses a steam-powered drilling machine, only sixty guns are produced per month. In fact, both the Type 89 and Type 90 still have many problems, such as dumb fire often happens, with a dumb fire rate of about 20%, so Mao Geng is still improving. When the two guns become more mature, they can be mass-produced.

By the way, this year is the year when Temujin's Thirteen Wings defeat, and Temujin will have several years to rise again, so it seems that there is no need to be so anxious.
