Chapter 402 - 3

285  Chen Jie asked, "Is there such a record?"

  Xiao Hu said, "There are people living on the moon. I know that. Doesn't Chang'e live on the moon?"

  Chen Jie didn't say anything after hearing this. The young man said, "I don't know. We can only find out by going up and taking a look."

  "Um, do you still want to go up and take a look?"

  The young man said, "Well, I want to go up and take a look. I thought of many ways, but in the end, only one method could be realized."

  "What?"

  Chen Jie was also curious about what was going on in the boy's mind. At this time, the boy immediately asked, "Master, can you give me a pen and paper?"

  After hearing this, Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "Get some paper and pen."

  After he finished speaking, a maid immediately brought paper and pen. Chen Jie handed the paper and pen to the young man and said, "Here you go."

  At this time, the boy took a pen and drew a chair on the paper, then drew rockets on the legs of the chair, and then drew a few balloons on the chair.

  Chen Jie didn't quite understand. At this time, the young man said, "Master, look, all you need is a chair, aim it at the moon, and then tie various rockets to the legs of the chair, and then hang some Kongming lanterns on the chair. When the time comes, just light the rocket below, and the gunpowder inside will take me into the sky. Then, when I'm in the air and about to reach the moon, I'll light this huge Kongming lantern, and I'll be able to fly in the sky, and even fly to the moon!"

  "Forehead?"

  Chen Jie was confused. Manned space flight, not manned moon landing, right?

  And why does this plan seem so familiar? It seems like I have seen similar operations in history textbooks?

  Thinking about this, Chen Jie looked at the young man and said, "Your last name isn't Wan, is it?"

  The young man was stunned and looked at Chen Jie and said, "My surname is not Wan, my surname is Tao, my name is Guangyi. I once went up the mountain to seek the Tao, but unfortunately I failed and had to come down the mountain. Then I encountered a disaster and fled here. The master wants to find someone with the surname Wan."

  Upon hearing this, Chen Jie murmured in his heart, Tao Guangyi?

  "Oh, no, I just thought your plan was similar to one conceived by someone I know, so I asked."

  "Oh, there are people like me in this world, who are they?"

  Chen Jie said: "Oh, it's a friend named Wan Hu, his plan is almost exactly the same as yours."

  "Wan Hu?"

  When the young man heard the name, he murmured, he never thought that there was someone in the world who had the same dream as him, he wished he could talk with this person all night long.

  Ten thousand households!

  Chen Jie was also murmuring at this time. Although the plan of this first Chinese astronaut in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty was ridiculous and he was even blown to death in the end, his spirit was still commendable.

  And this Tao Guangyi's plan is exactly the same as his. He is also a talent and should be trained intensively.

  In fact, Chen Jie fell into a misconception.

  It was also related to his lack of solid historical knowledge. He didn't know that the man who wanted to land on the moon at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was not actually called Wan Hu.

  His real name was Tao Guangyi. Later, he led his people to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang and helped Zhu Yuanzhang study artillery. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang have the opportunity to build the Shenjiying and achieve dominance.

  Zhu Yuanzhang was so pleased that he gave him the name Chengdao and granted him the title of Wanhu.

  Therefore, later generations often called him Wanhu, and after a long time everyone thought that Wanhu was a person's name, but in fact Wanhu was his official title.

  Therefore, it was completely nonsense for Chen Jie to ask him if he knew a man named Wan, because at that time, Wan Hu was just a poor disaster victim who had failed to seek the truth and had only a lot of ambitions.

  However, Chen Jie knew that in this era, it was extraordinary that he had such vision.

  Although his moon landing plan sounds ridiculous, his scientific research spirit is commendable.

  Chen Jie looked at the young Tao Guangyi and said, "Tao Guangyi."

  "I am here."

  Tao Guangyi clasped his fists and said, "First, you study this transparent colored glaze carefully. When the research is successful, I will promote you to the position of manager of the craftsman workshop. If you want to study gunpowder, I will also give you financial support, how about that!"

  "Oh, really?"

  Tao Guangyi's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Jie expectantly. Chen Jie smiled and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I, Chen Jiusi, always keep my word."

  "Thank you, Master."

  Tao Guangyi was taken away to concentrate on studying transparent glass. If he really made some success in his research, Chen Jie also decided to give him a chance to study gunpowder.

  Due to the prosperity of martial arts, the development of gunpowder was not smooth. Gunpowder has only two uses. The first is to make fireworks and firecrackers. The Han people are very experienced in this, especially in the pre-Song Dynasty. The types of fireworks were not much less than now, and they could also produce a variety of colors and patterns.

  The other is artillery, but the function of artillery is not to kill the enemy, it is more used as a signal gun.

  In addition, due to the prosperity of martial arts in the world, the effect of this cannon is very limited. Ordinary shrapnel can be used to deal with cultivators below the level of Dark Power. For cultivators above the level of Dark Power, as long as they are not hit directly by the cannon, they will basically not be injured.

  The accuracy of artillery in this era was very poor.

  Moreover, as long as one is above the Iron Bone Realm, even if one is hit by a shrapnel bomb, one will only be slightly injured.

  As for Hua Jin, it is of no use at all, because masters of Hua Jin basically have inner energy to protect themselves, and are difficult to be hurt by artillery.

  As for those above the level of Hua Jin, they are not afraid of any artillery.

  But there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to have the ability to transform your energy.

  However, Hua Jin is not something that can be found everywhere. In the entire Mianshui County, with a population of over 100,000, there are less than 20 people with Hua Jin. It can be seen that the occurrence rate of Hua Jin is basically one in ten thousand.

  In a normal army, there are still more ordinary soldiers, and those in the Skin Training Realm and the Flesh Training Realm are probably veterans of hundreds of battles.

  And artillery is enough to deal with them,

  Tao Guangyi is definitely a talented person. Perhaps other rulers of this era would find it difficult to understand his thinking, but as a modern person, Chen Jie can understand that this is just the simplest dream of a simple scientific researcher!

  Chen Jie came from an era when the use of tools reached perfection, an era when humans gained invincible power with the help of tools.

  In this world, martial arts are respected, so Chen Jie couldn't help but ask, the two top masters in this world, Zhang Sanfeng and Mulan National Master Bashiba Living Buddha, have extremely high cultivation levels, so I wonder how many nuclear bombs they can withstand?

  Of course, these are all scientific fantasies. Tao Guangyi's brilliant ideas made Chen Jie's thinking begin to diverge.

  But soon, Chen Jie woke up from this scientific fantasy.

  Watching Tao Guangyi leave, Chen Jie looked at Xiaohu and asked, "What do you think of this guy?"

  Xiao Hu said: "It's not a big deal, Hall Master, this person cannot be reused!"

  "Oh, why?"

  Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked. Xiao Hu heard this and said, "This person is full of nonsense. What about gunpowder, rockets, Kongming lanterns, and he even wants to go to the moon? It's just nonsense. I'm afraid this person has hysteria, right?"

  After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked, "Is that how you think about him?"

  Xiao Hu said, "How else can we think of him? Do we really believe that he can go to the moon?"

  Chen Jie thought about it and agreed. Yes, Wan Hu in history was not successful either, but this kind of advanced thinking is worthy of recognition. Although this kind of thinking seems so out of place in this era and even sounds like rumors, geniuses are always lonely!

  Moreover, he knew that Wan Hu's idea was correct and that humans could indeed land on the moon in the future, but his method was indeed a bit childish and he might not be able to fulfill his dream of flying in his lifetime.

  But as long as you dare to dream, the future will eventually come true.

  Moreover, this person is very knowledgeable about gunpowder. You should know that before he wanted to dream of flying, he had to solve the power problem, and the process of solving the power problem was actually the study of artillery.

  artillery!

  Chen Jie has an idea. In the future large-scale battles, it will definitely be a confrontation between martial arts masters and ordinary armies.

  King versus king, general versus general, if you want to win, in addition to the top-level military victory, the bottom-level soldiers must also have strength.

  In order to arm the low-level soldiers, Chen Jie knew two ways. One was formation, which could gain powerful combat power. The second was weapons.

  At the level of ordinary people, artillery is definitely more powerful than ordinary swords.

  Of course, these are just a prototype.

  Chen Jie thought of this, looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Xiao Hu."

  "exist."

  "If Tao Guangyi wants to see me in the future, please report to me immediately."

  "Ah, Hall Master, is this person so important?"

  Chen Jie smiled and said, "If used well, it can be as powerful as an army of ten thousand people."

  "Ah, so amazing?"

  Chen Jie said: "He is not very powerful now, but if the timeline is extended, he will definitely be the most powerful."

  Xiaohu didn't understand, but it didn't matter. He just knew that Chen Jie attached great importance to Tao Guangyi, and he needed to be more respectful and polite to Tao Guangyi in the future.

  Chen Jie stretched and touched his stomach, feeling a little hungry. He turned to the maidservant behind him and asked, "Where's the Madam?"

  After hearing this, the maid said, "Madam is teaching students in the school."

  "oh."

  Chen Jie responded, and at this time in a separate courtyard in the backyard of Baihu Hall, the sound of reading could be heard.

  I saw a spacious classroom with its doors and windows open, and more than thirty children were studying inside.

  At this time, there was a blackboard at the front of the classroom. Su Yunjin was writing a line of words on the blackboard with chalk made of lime powder: [Confucius said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, is it not a pleasure? ]

  Su Yunjin was wearing a white top today and a jade pendant around her waist, which was a gift from Chen Jie on her birthday this year. She was wearing a red skirt and red embroidered shoes.

  She had her hair in a bun with a simple wooden hairpin inserted in it.

  Although she now has many hairpins, whether made of gold, jade, or other styles, she doesn't like them. She only likes to wear a wooden hairpin.

  The whole person appears simple, unpretentious and intellectual.

  At this time, she held a half-broken piece of chalk in her hand and pointed to a line of words on the blackboard and said, "Come, let's review the Encouragement to Study that we learned yesterday. Everyone read together."

  "The Master said:"

  "The Master said: "To learn and to practise it from time to time is it not a pleasure? To have friends come from afar is it not a pleasure? To not be offended when people do not know you is not the sign of a gentleman. The Master said..."

  Thirty children were reciting the Analects of Confucius, shaking their heads.

  Su Yunjin looked at these half-grown children with great satisfaction. They were of different ages, and the youngest ones were sitting at three tables in the first row.

  Among the three tables, the one sitting in the middle was the little kid Su Yunrui, and the one sitting on the left was a maid Yin Hongmei.

  Sitting at the table on the right is a ten-year-old boy named Sun Yong.

  His father was one of the six soldiers who fought with Xiaohu to protect Su Yunjin that day, but his father died in the battle.

  In order to commend his father's loyalty and bravery, Chen Jie adopted him as his adopted son and he is currently studying with Su Yunjin.

  This child is very sensible and willing to learn, and Chen Jie likes him very much.
