"Battlefield?" As soon as Xue Yi finished speaking, Hong Ling looked at him in surprise. She never thought that she would use black gunpowder to kill people.

"Sister Hong Ling, can you use it as firecrackers?" Xue Yi knew that Hong Ling was simple, so he said with a smile, "On the battlefield, the enemy's death is always like ours."

Hong Ling suddenly fell into silence when she heard this. Once black gunpowder was applied to the battlefield, it would eventually be a disaster for both the enemy and himself, because sooner or later the enemy will master this technology, and then the creatures will be devastated.

"The birth of any technology will bring positive and negative aspects. All we can do is to promote their progress. As for what the future is, leave it to the people in the future!" Tan Zong saw Hong Ling's expression becoming a little sad, and he smiled and enlightened her, "What we have to do now is to do our own things."

Hong Ling looked up at Tan Zong, nodded slightly, and felt much better. Just as Tan Zong said, leave the future things for future people to consider.

The smelting technology of Gyeonggi Imperial Village has created cast iron cannons, but the problem of shells has not been solved, because the shells made with traditional methods are not satisfactory and have no lethality at all, and they have no investment in actual combat.

The emergence of black gunpowder will surely provide the cannon with excellent shells, allowing it to exert its power of cause and become a powerful tool for siege cities and land and defending the country.

With the solution of black gunpowder, Zhao Yuzhao focused his energy on the steam engine. In order to develop a model machine for the steam engine, Gyeonggi Imperial Village has gone through several generations and more than a hundred years of hard work, starting from the parts one by one, and today we finally achieved what we are now.

The model machine is located in a workshop far away from the black gunpowder workshop. The reason for this is because of concern that the gunpowder explosion will damage it.

When Tan Zong saw the model machine, several researchers were testing it. It was a big guy more than two meters high and three meters wide. Tan Zong had never seen such a bulky machine. A boiler next to it was burning, providing it with heat energy.

There is a huge wheel on the steam engine that rotates slowly. The steam engine uses the cylinder to convert heat energy into kinetic energy, driving the rotation of the wheel, and then driving the wheel.

"This is simply the ancestor of the steam engine." Tan Zong walked around the model machine and said to Zhao Yuzhao and Hong Ling with a smile. Xue Yi was busy purifying chemical reagents in his workshop.

"Although it can operate now, it is still far from our requirements and cannot be applied to reality." Zhao Yuzhao smiled slightly when he heard this, looked up at the model machine, "However, we finally sold the first step."

Tan Zong nodded. In his impression, it was not until the British inventor Watt improved the steam engine that the steam engine in the modern sense appeared.

"Brother Tan, can you understand this?" Hong Ling brought a black iron box, opened it, took out a book from it, and handed it to Tan Zong.

When Tan Zong took it, he saw it was a brand new English book. Tan Zong's English level was average, so he passed the English Level 4 in school. The title of the book should be "History of Modern and Modern Science and Technology in Europe". He looked it through and introduced the development history of modern and modern science and technology in Europe, and there were also many pictures on it to illustrate.

In the early part of this book, there is a special chapter introducing the development history of the steam engine. Unfortunately, Tan Zong could only guess and figure out the meaning of some words, while the rest did not understand what they were saying.

"Where did this book come from?" After reading the book, Tan Zong looked at Zhao Yuzhao in surprise, looking quite surprised.

"From the Iron Bird incident that fell two years ago." Zhao Yuzhao explained to Tan Zong when he heard this, "it should be a passenger plane in later generations."

"Carousy plane?" Tan Zong's face showed a look of surprise. Could it be that a flight encountered an air crash and then crashed in Dashun?

One winter afternoon two years ago, a smoke-prone passenger plane fell from the sky and fell into a wooded forest in Shengjing Prefecture, Liaodong. Almost all the people in Heishizi County, the closest to the accident site, saw this strange scene. Everyone had never seen such a strange big bird, so they rushed to the accident site.

After the passenger plane landed on the ground, an explosion occurred, igniting a raging fire, burning all nearby trees. Some items fell out of the belly of the plane when the passenger plane crashed and scattered in the forest more than ten miles long. They were items in the luggage compartment of the passenger plane, including the book held in Tan Zong's hand.

This book is a series, with a total of thirty books, which are packaged together. The contents cover the development history of modern and modern European technology and provide detailed explanations of these technologies.

When the people of Heishizi County, which was closest to the nearest, felt that the accident was at noon the next day. The accident site was burned to pieces by airline gasoline. There were many burnt bodies of passengers in the wreckage of the passenger plane. Some even found people who were frozen to death and wearing strange clothes more than ten miles away from the accident site of the passenger plane.

After hearing the news, the supervisor of the Shengjing Prefecture's Supervisory Office immediately went to the camp of the Shengjing defenders. In the name of the official, General Shengjing mobilized a large number of soldiers to the location where the passenger plane was in trouble, blocked the location of the accident, and conducted a thorough search of the people in Heishizi County, and took back the items picked up by the people. The book in Tan Zong was found from the home of a fur merchant.

The things in the passenger plane were then sent to the capital by the Shengjing Supervision Office. After registering at the Jingcheng Supervision Office, they were sent to the Gyeonggi Imperial Village. The people in the Gyeonggi Imperial Village classified these items. These books that were incomprehensible were considered to have important research value, so they were listed as the highest secret of the Gyeonggi Imperial Village and preserved.

Zhao Yuzhao, Xue Yi and Hong Ling have all read the contents of this set of books. Because they don’t understand English, the three of them seemed helpless and could only worry about it.

"Things are good things, but unfortunately there are many English words in it. I don't know what they mean." Tan Zong looked at the English book in his hand and said with some regret.

"Brother Tan knows the words in this book?" Hong Ling couldn't help but lit up when she heard this, and she asked in surprise.

Although English has a wide influence in the world in later generations and is called the common language in the world, in this era of Dashun, Latin and Greek occupied the mainstream position in Europe. England was just a small country on the Isle of Great Britain at this time, and English was just a dialect on the European continent.

Moreover, because the Duke of William from Normandy, France defeated the English in the Battle of Hastings, and the Norman from France and others came to England to settle, French became the language of the English nobles and also a diplomatic language, which made English even more withdrawn, because the dialects in a certain southern county in later generations were the same.

Because the number of materials preserved is related to English, at the request of the Gyeonggi Imperial Village, the Dashun official family sent more than a dozen people to Europe by water and land in the past two or three hundred years, hoping to learn English in England. Unfortunately, due to the long and dangerous journey, these more than a dozen people failed one after another and died for various reasons before they arrived in England.

Even if those people successfully arrive in England, they still have to face language barriers; even if they learn English through language barriers, they still have to face the hardship of returning; even if they are lucky enough to return to Dashun, then because modern English and ancient English have undergone great changes, and many new words have been added, they still have no obvious driving effect on the study of the imperial village in the capital.

Therefore, people know Dashun, Persian, Greek, Latin and even French, but no one knows this English. As soon as Tan Zong opened his mouth, he pointed out that the words in this book were English, which made Hong Ling excited. Although Tan Zong didn't recognize a lot of words, it was much better than just looking at him.

Zhao Yuzhao did not seem to be fussy about this, because she knew that Tan Zong was an alien from later generations, so it was not surprising that she knew this language.

However, if Tan Zong knew English, he would definitely understand the headache-inducing big thing. Thinking of this, Zhao Yuzhao walked out. When she came back, a guard followed her, holding a black iron box in her hand.

After putting the iron box on the table, the guard said goodbye. Zhao Yuzhao used the key to unlock the iron box, and a thick book appeared in front of Tan Zong. The cover included both English and Chinese.

Tan Zong looked closely and couldn't help but smile, because the Chinese words "English-Chinese Dictionary" were written on the cover. However, what surprised him was that the lower half of the cover was actually covered with red things. The book was preserved so well that it shouldn't be red ink on it, so there was only one possibility that these red things could only be blood.

"When the items crashed from the passenger plane were transported from Shengjing, they were attacked by a group of unidentified people in the middle. Their targets seemed to be the thirty English books and this dictionary. If the defenders along the way had not responded in time, they would have been stolen." Zhao Yuzhao saw Tan Zong looking at the blood on the dictionary in surprise and explained to him.

Thirty books "History of Modern and Contemporary Science and Technology in Europe" and this "English-Chinese Dictionary" are in the same package. The owner should be the same person. As for whether he wants to use these books and dictionaries to learn English, or to understand the modern and contemporary science and technology history of Europe, or to simply decorate, this is impossible to verify.

"So, someone wants to get him!" Tan Zong frowned slightly when he heard this. He could not have imagined that there was such a bloody history in these books. It was enough to almost steal these books from the escort army, which showed the cruelty of the battle.

"The father once ordered a thorough investigation of General Shengjing and the staff of the Supervision Office, but no clue was found. The mastermind behind the scenes has not been found yet." Zhao Yuzhao nodded slightly, agreed with Tan Zong's opinion, and said with regret.

For some reason, the shadows of Zhao Yunbo and Zhao Yunzhao suddenly appeared in front of Tan Zong's eyes. Judging from the incident in Jiangnan and the importance they attached to these books, only two people had the ability and courage to pull the teeth from the guards, and snatched these books from the hands of the guards.

"Brother Tan, with it, can you translate the English meanings in the book?" Hong Ling looked up at Tan Zong who was in deep thought and asked excitedly.

She once tried to translate the knowledge about steam engines in the book according to the dictionary. Because she didn't know the grammar of English and the meaning of an English word often had nouns, verbs and adjectives, Hong Ling gave up depressedly after holding on for less than a half day. Her mind was messed up and she was tortured by these strange characters.

"It should be possible!" Tan Zong pondered for a moment when he heard this and nodded. No matter how he was a CET-4 person. Although the dictionary cannot be translated accurately, the general meaning cannot be wrong.

"Then please trouble Brother Tan to translate the part about the steam engine in the book!" Hong Ling was immediately overjoyed and said to Tan Zong with a delicate voice. As long as Tan Zong translates the knowledge in the book, it will greatly promote the research of the steam engine.

"Informed in advance, I have limited abilities. If the translation is not good, please forgive me." Tan Zong smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Yuzhao and Hong Ling, and greeted him in advance.

"Brother Tan is already a great achievement in being able to translate these books. As for some of the details, they can be carefully studied." Zhao Yuzhao laughed and gave Tan Zong a reassurance, saving him from worries.

"Then I'll try it." Tan Zong also laughed. He never thought that he would do an interpreter one day.

Since Tan Zong took on the boring translation work, time has passed quickly, and a month has passed in a flash, and it has reached the end of September without realizing it.

That morning, when Zhao Yuzhao led Xue Yi and Hong Ling into a workshop, Tan Zong was busy with something.

"Brother Tan, what are you doing?" Looking at Tan Zong who was fiddling with the utensils in his hand, Zhao Yuzhao couldn't help but ask suspiciously. Since he had translated the content of the steam engine in the book, Tan Zong seemed to have become interested in some things inside. While translating other content, he came to this workshop to tinker with something.

"Let's play a trick for everyone later." Tan Zong smiled and straightened his body, reached out and pointed to a simple electromagnetic generator on the table and a simple light bulb connected to it, and said to Zhao Yuzhao and the other two with a smile.

The working principle of a generator is very simple, and it comes from the law of electromagnetic induction and the law of electromagnetic force. Therefore, the basic principle of its structure is to use appropriate magnetic and conductive materials to form magnetic circuits and circuits that perform electromagnetic induction with each other to generate electromagnetic power and achieve the purpose of energy conversion.

Then, under the gaze of Zhao Yuzhao and the other two, Tan Zong ran to the window and pulled up the curtains, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

Just when Zhao Yuzhao, Hong Ling and Xue Yi were not sure about this, Tan Zong turned the handle on the rotor of the simple electromagnetic generator, causing the rotor to rotate in the magnetic field of the two magnetic poles.

As Tan Zong turned the handle faster, a strange scene appeared in front of Zhao Yuzhao and the other two. The tungsten filament in the light bulb actually emitted a faint light, and the light became brighter and brighter, gradually making the room brighter.

"Brother Tan, you made an electric light!" Zhao Yuzhao couldn't help but show a look of joy on his face and said with a smile.

"It's not me, it's with Xue Yi and Hong Ling." Tan Zong let go of the handle and said to Zhao Yuzhao with a smile, "This simple power generation device was made by Hong Ling for me, and this light bulb was made by Xue Yi for me, and I just connected them."

(ps. I saw a book that was pretty good, and the book was called "Yunchuan Ji". Let's go and have a look!)
Chapter completed!
