Chapter 135 Just do it!

Xia Lin heard that Feng Lingyue was very aloof outside, but he really couldn't figure out what was so aloof about her. At least now it seemed to Xia Lin that she was like a puppy that had been abandoned, and she would be dependent on him if he gave her two sausages.

On the contrary, Miss Tingyun seems like a normal person and is easier to communicate with.

"Take her back and let her rest first. This is a serious government office. It's not a good idea for her to continue making trouble like this."

Miss Tingyun pursed her lips and said, "What should I do with my two hundred thousand taels?"

"What should I do?" Xia Lin laughed. "You two have more than 300,000 taels in total. Do you know what 300,000 taels means? Last year, the flood in Poyang did not cost more than 300,000 taels for disaster relief. What should I do? Of course I have to pay it back. No, I am wondering, you are worth so much money because you are a rescuer, why is she worth so much money?"

"She..." Miss Tingyun lowered her voice and said, "She is the daughter of a Silla hostage. After the Silla king defected to Goguryeo, her father volunteered to attack Goguryeo and then defected. At that time, she and her mother were to be executed. It was my uncle who pleaded for them and saved their lives. However, her mother also entered the Jiaosifang and died of illness a few years ago. She ended up in an ordinary pleasure boat due to some coincidences."

"I always say Korean men are unreliable." Xia Lin pinched his index finger and thumb together. "Everything else is easy to explain, but this one thing has never changed."

“Although I don’t really understand what the adults are saying, I seem to understand a little bit.”

"That's enough." Xia Lin patted Miss Tingyun on the butt again: "Take your silly sister back first, don't delay my work. The money you owe cannot be paid off in a short time, and ordinary methods will definitely not work."

Miss Tingyun was once again photographed in a sensitive area, but this time she was a little desensitized. Instead of being as resistant as before, she asked curiously, "But there is no way I can pay back this much money. Two hundred thousand taels is really too much. It's almost as much as the tax of a city. Even if you make me work like a cow or a horse, I still can't pay it back."

"What else? Are you planning to sleep with me?" Xia Lin laughed, "Go back. If you can figure it out, you wouldn't be hanging around in the teaching office for so long."

Miss Tingyun was obviously stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth and then sighed: "I know..."

After she finished speaking, she dragged the love-crazy sister Yueyue out. Only then could Xia Lin get down to work properly, because there were many things to do next.

The emperor's southern tour was a burden to most places, but for him it was a rare opportunity. Advertising and publicity must be in place to turn a handicraft and industrial city that originally had little popularity into a place that also caters to tourism. This publicity is crucial.

The first thing is to plan the travel route, such as what kind of people are the target groups. First of all, it is impossible for them to be old people and children. Secondly, ordinary people do not have so much money, so the target here are young men and women of appropriate age, generally literary young people with some spare money who want to pursue the aura of His Majesty and come here to stay for a while alone or with their wives.

It doesn't really matter whose wife you bring. But for people of this age group, the three elements of travel, food, drink and fun, need to be arranged. Food and drink need no further explanation, but fun needs some thought.

The Grand Theater must be opened. Shadow puppetry has not yet flourished in this era, right? We can get it. Then there is drama, which Xia Lin has been thinking about for a long time, but a beautiful stage cannot be without light and shadow effects...

Then... Xia Lin took out his cell phone and started searching: How to make a light bulb.

After thinking about it, I still felt that something was wrong, so I started searching again: How to make a hydroelectric generator.

After looking at it for a long time, he decided to make one himself. This thing is not difficult. It is mainly copper wire with magnets. Water flow drives blades, blades drive shafts, and shafts cut magnetic fields to generate current. It is just high school knowledge. The only problem is how to set up the current stabilizer. Xia Lin doesn't need to use his brain for this. There is everything on the Internet. Just follow the steps step by step.

If there is no rubber seal, leather or tendon will be used. The impeller is directly connected to the water wheel and drives the motor through gear transmission. This thing can be done with just hands.

Magnetite is easier to deal with. It is usually a companion mineral of igneous rocks and metamorphic rocks. I got a lot of it when I purchased stones before. The largest one must be about 100 to 200 kilograms, and the quantity is large and sufficient.

Of course, for light bulbs, although inert gas cannot be produced, the light bulbs only need to be oxygenated. Cupping has been done before. All you need to do is turn the wooden stick inside a few times and wait for it to extinguish naturally before screwing the light bulb back on.

Making cans is similar to making light bulbs.

Of course, the most important point is to solve the problem of voltage and current. This is actually a more important step than making those things, so you don't have to make a variable resistor box to control the amount of electricity.

Now that I think about it, it seems that all you need to do is learn high school physics and travel back to ancient times, and everyone will be a top scientist. You don't need to search for anything else, just search for high school physics exercises, which even have questions like: If you travel back to ancient times, how to get electricity in the fastest way, try to design a plan and draw a circuit diagram. However, after Xia Lin spent half an afternoon reading, he still felt itchy on his head, as if he was about to grow a brain, so in order to keep his mind clear, he decided to see how far his long-cherished troll plan had progressed.

Of course, guns are easy to make. There has been a standardization system since the Qin Dynasty. The ancients just had low productivity but they were not fools. Those who learned to be craftsmen all knew about accessories, so it was not difficult for those craftsmen to cast parts for shotguns. Although the efficiency was slightly lower, the question was whether they could be made.

What? No ruler? Do I need to think about this? Calculate the mercury with the folded rope! The mercury column is divided into 76 parts, each part is one centimeter, and one hundred centimeters add up to one meter. Well, the error is almost negligible, especially when the instrument is not so precise...

There are glass and mercury, but there is no standard meter. What is the use of Xia Lin's mobile phone? Why use standard meters instead of the current conventional size to measure these things? That's because a certain search engine did not tell Xia Lin how many inches a shotgun bullet is, nor how long the barrel of a gun is... Without standard meters, he couldn't even convert it.

The sample gun for the shotgun has already come out. The craftsmen said that the most difficult part here is the coils of springs inside. They hammered the hot steel bit by bit and then broke it out with their hands and pliers. Although the master craftsman has found a more convenient method, even after it is out, it still needs to be fine-tuned and measured by hand.

But no matter what, even if this thing is made, the next step would be shotgun bullets.

As long as there is a primer, everything else is very simple. The outer shell can be copper or paper, and the filling inside can be lead bullets or copper bullets. No matter whether it is shotgun or single-headed, the range is at most fifty or one hundred meters. There is no need to pursue accuracy. After all, there are unscrupulous cannons there, and there are also Kassan rockets that can be modified from iron barrels.

As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more methods than difficulties.

Xia Lin's main goal is the cavalry cluster charge. Such a configuration can complete the three-stage combination of high, medium and low. At the farthest point, use a round of Kassan rockets, then spray a shot from the unscrupulous cannon at medium range, and then start firing with a close-range shotgun.

Not to mention that there are almost no heavy cavalry in the north at present. Even if there are, the horses can't handle it. There are artillery and fire. When have people ever seen that kind of stuff...

Once the cavalry's formation is disrupted, even the king of heaven cannot save it.

Anyway, no matter what kind of hot weapons, they will be crushed against cold weapons. Unless you are asking for trouble by letting a large cavalry force within 200 meters, otherwise, with the support of hot weapons, the cavalry will most likely exit the stage of history early. After all, if everything goes well in the later stage, a six-barreled machine gun emitting blue fire is not that difficult to deal with, right?

The first batch of bulk ore from the grassland will arrive soon. They still think they can make a profit by exchanging these broken stones for food and daily necessities, but in fact, no one except Xia Lin knows what kind of changes these stones will bring to the world.

The fertilizer factory, which has not yet started formal production, has already produced a batch of experimental bullets according to Xia Lin's method. The quantity is small, mainly because of the concern about explosion, so they are making small quantities before the formula is completely stabilized.

Xia Lin, who had spent an afternoon studying high school circuit knowledge, took a dozen bullets and came to the secret base he and Lao Zhang shared. He loaded the bullets skillfully, pulled the pump and fired. The primer was knocked out by the impact of the firing pin, and the tiny lead bullets hit the water surface, splashing high water.

He then tried several other different types of bullets. Apart from the weak power due to the unstable formula, the others were not much different from what he had imagined.

But this is enough to celebrate with a glass of wine. After all, Xia Lin's small step is a big step in the progress of human history. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The distance from 0 to 1 is farther than that from 1 to 100.

After a round of test firing, Xia Lin sat there and began to use a carbon pencil to record in his small notebook the areas that should be improved, as well as some of his experiences during the test firing.

At this moment, he heard a noise behind him. Xia Lin immediately pulled out a bullet from his waist and stuffed it into the shotgun. He turned around and asked, "Who?"

"It's me~" The grass was pulled aside, and Chuntao walked out: "I heard a strange noise in the yard just now, and I came to take a look when I saw it was close."

Xia Lin said "oh", then waved to Chuntao excitedly: "Sister Chuntao, come here, I'll let you touch something fun."

Chun Tao smiled and sat down next to Xia Lin. Her hand went down the lower three paths, and Xia Lin pinched her face and handed the gun to Chun Tao: "Why do you always go down the lower three paths? It's this. Don't point it at people, or you'll die. Go hit that rock."

Xia Lin pointed at the rock sticking out of the river: "The black one, aim at it and pull the trigger."
