The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 765 Optical Rangefinder and Synthetic Ammonia

The light on the long-lost roulette wheel changed, and against the azure background, the stars on it kept flashing, as bright as the night sky.

Chen Zhengwei always felt that the light spot on the roulette wheel was the night sky above his head.

But he couldn't recognize it or understand it at all.

He can recognize one of the Big Dipper.

Various colors appeared on the edge of the roulette wheel, including gold, azure, and light blue.

Then the roulette wheels opened one by one.

Two master skill points, five master skill points, 11 common skill points, 1.9 attribute points...

The smile on Chen Zhengwei's face grew wider and wider. He raised his hand, slapped his thigh, and laughed out loud.

I finally got the long-awaited Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and a whole box of them.

In addition to these, there were two boxes of drawings and a watch.

Chen Zhengwei felt a little regretful that he didn't get to draw a battleship. He had built so many but didn't get to draw a single one.

However, the surprise brought by Liuwei Dihuang Pills is enough to dilute this regret.

Chen Zhengwei took out a box of Liuwei Dihuang Pills with great interest, opened the box, and found 24 bottles inside.

"One year's supply is enough... screw the art of sex!" Chen Zhengwei hadn't been so wealthy in a long time, so he simply threw the art of sex out of his mind.

The art of sex can only delay the time, but it is not pleasant. He has never really liked it.

Then Chen Zhengwei took out the two documents, which were in two large boxes.

"Optical rangefinder?" Chen Zhengwei flipped through the documents in his hand and quickly understood the content of one of them.

In fact, there are optical sights now, which are mainly graduated telescopes with poor durability and clarity. The magnifications are fixed at 2x and 4x, and they are rarely used in the military, mainly for hunting.

Chen Zhengwei was not in a hurry to promote optical aiming technology. The development and application of this technology needed to be based on large-scale wars.

No country has this demand nowadays, and the British and French armies are still queuing up for executions.

Therefore, the development of optical aiming technology is not fast.

However, this set of information includes an imperfect coating process and lens manufacturing process, and its clarity and practicality are much higher than the current optical aiming technology, and has reached a level that can be used on the battlefield.

After some thought, Chen Zhengwei decided to promote research and development, but there was no need for promotion.

This technology will definitely be invested in warships and the military. On the one hand, optical rangefinders will be added to artillery, and on the other hand, optical sights will be installed on some firearms.

As smokeless gunpowder gradually becomes popular, countries will develop new weapons, especially automatic weapons.

In this situation, trenches, hiding and dodging, and precision shooting have become the inevitable trend on future battlefields, and the development will be very fast. Chen Zhengwei estimates that this process will take 5 to 10 years.

The time of the war is about the same as what Chen Zhengwei had expected...Chen Zhengwei also plans to start a war in five years.

By that time, all countries would certainly have confidence in their own armies and feel that the new weapons had prepared them for war.

The application of optical sights can give them a surprise.

"There are still too few people in the laboratory..." Chen Zhengwei thought about the situation in the laboratory. In fact, he was promoting many technologies, but the laboratory was short of staff.

His laboratory now has more than 600 researchers, which is a large number, but there are too many projects going on at the same time.

A car alone actually includes several projects, including two major departments: automobiles and tractors, which are further divided into power systems, chassis and suspension systems, braking systems, materials departments, and related research on batteries and rubber.

Even though the car has been made, research in the laboratory has not stopped.

Chen Zhengwei asked for more.

Added to this were medicine, the weapons department, and wireless telegraphy.

The pharmaceutical department not only continued to increase its research and development of penicillin, but also included other drugs. For example, it also had a team of eight people dedicated to analyzing and researching Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and there were also opioid painkillers.

……

In the past six months, the production level and capacity of opioid painkillers of American gangs have increased significantly, and the technology all came from Chen Zhengwei's laboratory.

And they hand over a sum of money every month.

This is also a good deed. People in this era have to work more than ten hours even if they are sick.

Many times people need to take painkillers to relieve pain.

Or it can be used to comfort children so that adults can work with peace of mind.

For example, the now popular Godfrey's Tranquil Potion is made of laudanum, syrup and spices, and is mainly used to soothe crying children at night.

Many people have to work during the day, and if their children cry at night, they will give their children this medicine.

Then the child will stop crying.

The only problem is that in the Chinese community, painkillers and other drugs containing opium are strictly controlled and only doctors can prescribe them.

……

The weapons department not only includes research and experiments on torpedoes, artillery, firearms, and ammunition, but also actually has a three-person optical ranging department.

There are also some miscellaneous departments, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, bulletproof vests and root beer. There are not many people in these departments, and they mainly do miscellaneous work and often do odd jobs for others.

For example, there are four people in the root beer research department, all of whom are pharmacists.

When the pharmacy department is short of staff, one or two are often borrowed.

Therefore, among the more than 600 researchers, more than % are students who graduated from various American universities or core personnel poached from other companies.

But for Chen Zhengwei, it is still far from enough.

Chen Zhengwei put away the information on the optical rangefinder and picked up another one to look at for a while.

"Synthetic ammonia?"

"Is this thing used to make fertilizer?" Even though Chen Zhengwei's memory was eaten by a dog when he traveled through time, he still had some impression of what synthetic ammonia was used for.

"This thing is considered a powerful weapon!" Chen Zhengwei immediately became interested.

Unlike optical rangefinders, fertilizer is actually a powerful weapon that can affect food production in many areas.

You can first ask people to sell the fertilizers to some countries. As the market opens up and grain production increases, you can then sign grain purchase agreements with them.

Then stop selling fertilizer to them.

They were left with only two options, either they starve to death themselves and then sell the food to themselves.

Or the minerals and land could be used as compensation for breach of contract.

Although Britain also sold fertilizers...it mainly relied on saltpeter from South America, which was also the cause of the Saltpeter War.

But it is easily affected by various factors, such as... encountering pirates or a fire or explosion in a fertilizer factory.

"Xiwen!" Chen Zhengwei shouted loudly.

"Go call Xiwen!" After a moment, Li Xiwen hurried to Chen Zhengwei's side: "Brother!" "Go send a telegram and ask the optical distance measurement department in the laboratory to come over, and find some people who are proficient in chemistry! I got two sets of technology, let them take a look!"

"I understand!" Li Xiwen was a little confused. He was in charge of all of Chen Zhengwei's recent affairs. How come he didn't know where he got the technology from?
But he didn't dare to ask more, otherwise he would be beaten again.

After giving the instructions, Chen Zhengwei opened the system to add points. He threw in 1.8 attribute points, leaving 0.1.

Strength increased from 2.9 to 3.1
Agility increased from 3.0 to 3.1
Physical fitness increased from 3.4 to 3.6.
Chen Zhengwei felt a warm current surging from his body, accompanied by numbness and soreness in his muscles and slight pain in his bones.

After a moment, everything returned to calm. Chen Zhengwei felt that his clothes were tight on his body again, to the point that they would burst if he exerted any force.

Chen Zhengwei went upstairs to change his clothes. When Lin Changning saw him, he looked at him twice with suspicion in his eyes.

Chen Zhengwei's body shape has obviously changed.

"After my unremitting efforts these days, I have finally made great progress!" Chen Zhengwei was quite proud!

Lin Changning immediately turned his head away and didn't want to look at him.

She was puzzled as to how Chen Zhengwei could eat and drink so much but his physique was getting stronger and stronger.

Although his muscles were not the kind that were trained, they were the typical flesh-wrapped muscles, the body shape of a battlefield general. Moreover, he was much taller than ordinary generals and had excellent skills.

Although it seems a bit bulky due to its size, it is not slow, and its reaction is extremely fast, and its explosive power is terrifying.

Lin Changning often feels that Xiang Yu and Lu Bu in ancient times were probably like this.

What's even more terrifying is that Chen Zhengwei has a keen sense of attacks from other people. Even when the lights are turned off and it's pitch dark, there is almost no chance to sneak attack him.

……

Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang cut their braids on the first day of the New Year.

Kang Youwei and Zhang Xuecheng immediately knew what the two men were thinking, and after chatting for a while they found that it was indeed the case.

Although Kang Youwei remained enthusiastic on the surface, he was actually full of contempt and anger in his heart. He hadn't even finished writing the letter yet, but the other party was actually going to join Chen Lao Hu.

As a result, the two sides began to drift apart.

Yuan Shikai and Xu Shichang inquired around in Los Angeles over the next few days and soon found a place to go.

Lin's Martial Arts School, Yuan Shikai planned to sneak into Lin's Martial Arts School first.

"Although it seems like a shortcut, it is actually a long detour!" Xu Shichang analyzed.

"There are tens of thousands of people who know about the Lin's Martial Arts School, and there are countless people who have joined the Lin's Martial Arts School. But how many of them are from the martial arts school? Even Chen Lao Hu's father-in-law is very reluctant to talk about this matter."

"It is rumored that Mr. Rong and Chen Lao Hu's right-hand man, A'long, are both disciples of the martial arts school. However, they only joined the martial arts school after Chen Lao Hu became a local hero! It is not that they had the opportunity only after joining the martial arts school."

Yuan Shikai agreed with this and then said with a smile:
"That's it! There is one difference between martial arts schools, and that is their origins."

"Even if you have a layer of coating inside, your origin will be different, and you will be one of us."

"If you can't accomplish anything, that's fine. You'll just be living a muddled life. If you can accomplish something, this background will be of great benefit at a critical moment!"

Xu Shichang thought for a moment and then cupped his hands and said, "Weiting is thinking long-term!"

Within two days, Yuan Shikai found a martial arts school and wanted to become one of them.

"If you are looking for a step to advance, you've come to the wrong place." Lin Mingsheng said straight to the point.

"Maybe I'll delay you in the martial arts gym!"

"I heard that Mr. Lin is good at Cailifoquan. I have been learning Shaolin boxing since I was a child and have admired Cailifoquan for a long time. I have nothing to do recently, so I came to become his apprentice and learn another skill! Mr. Lin is not short of wealth, so isn't the purpose of opening this martial arts school to spread Cailifoquan?" Yuan Shikai said with a smile.

He is from Xiangcheng, Henan, not far from Dengfeng. Shaolin Kung Fu is widely spread in Henan.

He learned Luohanquan and Big and Small Hongquan from his enlightenment teacher when he was young, but his boxing skills were not very proficient and he could only be considered to have a rough understanding of boxing and kicking.

Lin Mingsheng saw that the man was not tall (less than 1 meters), but he spoke frankly and generously, and he had a good impression of him, so he accepted him.

He now has hundreds of disciples in his martial arts school every day, and two to three thousand nominal disciples.

Many wealthy people's children were married under his name, but he never recommended anyone to Chen Zhengwei.

Even so, there is an endless stream of people coming to his school every day.

Although he doesn't care about money, his fees are not low, $20 a month, which stops a lot of people, otherwise his door would be broken down by people.

What's more, even if you are poor in literature but rich in martial arts, if you don't even have money to eat, you will not get enough nutrition, your strength will not increase, and you will not be able to achieve anything great.

Yuan Shikai joined a martial arts school and quickly established himself in the school with his travel experience and sleek skills.

He was very eloquent and had great foresight, helping Lin Mingsheng with everything.

After just a few days, even Lin Mingsheng began to like him.

……

In just two days, people from the laboratory's optical ranging department arrived, along with some chemical talents selected from the laboratory.

Among them was Charles Chandler, who was in charge of the penicillin department.

As soon as he heard that Chen Zhengwei had something in his hand, he rushed over immediately.

Although he did not invent penicillin, he became famous in the medical community in the United States and around the world.

Life in San Francisco is pretty good now, mainly because he hasn’t paid off his debts yet... otherwise he really wants to go back to New York.

He just wanted to tell those people that the person who was driven away by you has now returned under the attention of everyone.

Unfortunately, I had just paid off the money with great difficulty, but I ended up playing cards with someone and not only lost all my winnings, but also owed a large sum of more than 80,000 US dollars...

Therefore, he came here this time, on the one hand, he was interested in what Chen Zhengwei had, and on the other hand, he wanted to earn more money.

A dozen people were waiting in the small living room of Chen Zhengwei's house. When they saw Chen Zhengwei, they immediately stood up and said, "Boss!"

"How's the situation in the laboratory recently?" Chen Zhengwei asked after sitting down.

"Boss, we have figured out the antibacterial principle of penicillin, which is an inhibitory effect. We are studying other drugs that inhibit microorganisms, such as arsenic drugs, and we have also found that some dyes have antibacterial effects!" Speaking of the laboratory, Chandler immediately introduced it with great interest.

"I believe we will soon discover the secret and develop new drugs!"

"Sounds good!" Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly.

"It would be best if the boss could join the experiment, but unfortunately we all know that's impossible!" Chandler said with some regret.

In fact, what he thought was that it would be best if the person who invented penicillin could join the laboratory, which would definitely greatly speed up their research progress.

Unfortunately...he guessed that the person who invented penicillin was dead.

Otherwise, no one would have stood up for such a long time.

This made him very sorry.

As for how he died... he didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to say it.

However, privately, such remarks are very popular in the medical community.
