The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 49 New Power

In the following days, Liu Chan performed extremely well, taking Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao obediently to attend lectures in the seminary every day.Moreover, since the National Hospital of Medicine has sufficient funds, it is also operating more impressively, and the first batch of graduated surgeons began to be sent to various armies.

For this reason, when Liu Bei wrote the letter, he greatly praised Liu Chan and rewarded the National Academy of Medicine with a thousand gold.Now Liu Chan doesn't have to worry about the funding of the National Academy of Medicine, even the cost of setting up new subjects.

That day, Liu Chan, Deng Ai, Zhuge Qiao and others had just finished class in Shi Guangyuan's get out of class when they saw Wang Yu waiting for them at the door with four freshmen from mathematics.When Wang Yu saw Liu Chan, he immediately pulled him aside excitedly, and mysteriously took out a blank piece of paper.

A soldier is drawn on it, holding a pair of bows and arrows in his hands and raising them high, as if they are about to shoot out, and then a parabola-like thing is drawn at the end of the arrows.Liu Chan guessed that this could not be the path of the arrow being shot, right?No, Wang Yu told Liu Chan that he had just calculated that the arrow must be shot upwards at an angle of 45° to fly the furthest.

Liu Chan couldn't help but smile wryly. To him, such a parabolic problem is simply common sense.Then he felt something was wrong, it was precisely because he thought these were common sense, so he didn't realize its importance!

Moreover, soldiers in this era use bows and arrows to accumulate experience through continuous training and self-exploration.If a more scientific method is used to improve the training methods of soldiers, it may be of great benefit to the training of recruits in the future.

Inspired by Liu Chan, he realized that Wang Yu might have great potential in the army, but it might not be.He wrote to Guan Yu, asking him to help Wang Yu arrange a errand in the army.As expected, Wang Yu was quite free. He just wandered around the camp all day long, sometimes watching soldiers training, sometimes watching weapon manufacturing, and even going to the logistics department to look through the books.Nobody knew what he was doing anyway.

But three months later, Wang Yu suddenly wrote an article for Liu Chan to read, which surprised Liu Chan.Since the weapons used at that time were all cold weapons, no one conducted special inspections on the quality of the weapons, resulting in uneven quality of weapons.After investigation, Wang Yu found that soldiers were often injured or killed on the battlefield because the weapons in their hands suddenly broke.And the content of this article is impressively talking about a method that Wang Yu thought of how to conduct batch testing of weapon quality.

Liu Chan was overjoyed and wrote a letter to Guan Yu.Because if this method can be promoted, not only the quality of Jingzhou Army's ordnance will be greatly improved, but the combat effectiveness of soldiers will also be improved a lot.Liu Chan suddenly remembered a saying of the United States during World War II: "The strength of ten scientists is equal to the strength of ten divisions."This is not without reason.

However, the arrogant Guan Yu didn't even open the letter Liu Chan wrote to him, and returned the letter intact.Because he had already heard about the deeds of Wang Yu, a guy who "doesn't do business properly". If it weren't for the fact that Wang Yu was recommended by Liu Chan, Guan Yu would have expelled him from the barracks a long time ago.Therefore, Guan Yu naturally disdained to read the writings of such a slutty person like Wang Yu.

Wang Yu was disappointed, and Liu Chan was even more disappointed, so he had to comfort Wang Yu to continue working hard, but Guan Yu just didn't know Mount Tai, and then let him go back to the barracks, and he would definitely find a way to promote that method in the future.

But the most useful stuff has finally arrived.And the person who brought this great surprise to Liu Chan was actually Han Long again.Liu Chan sometimes thinks, maybe this Han Long is his lucky star!
At ten o'clock at noon that day, Han Long brought Liu Chan a man, an extremely sloppy middle-aged man.When Liu Chan saw the man, he immediately yelled, "Oh, Mr. Tuoba, why are you here?"

Tuobawei proudly pointed to the birdcage in his hand, and told Liu Chan that he came here for this birdcage.Liu Chan couldn't help being shocked when he heard the words, could it be that Tuobawei really succeeded in training the pigeons?
But Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao beside Liu Chan were a little puzzled: Isn't it just a birdcage!Could it be that there is a phoenix in it?
In particular, Deng Ai always had his eyes above his head, seeing Tuoba Wei's slovenly and ragged appearance, he didn't think much of him at all.But Zhuge Qiao asked Liu Chan in a low voice: "My lord, what's the matter with this man?"

Liu Chan pretended not to hear Zhuge Qiao's words, staring nervously at the cage with big eyes, and said, "Mr. Tuoba, have you really succeeded in training this pigeon?"

Tuoba Wei smiled proudly: "Of course! As long as I, Tuoba Wei, want to do something, there is nothing I can't do. Mr. Liu, let's go outside to experiment now, what do you think? "

Then, Tuobawei took off the cover of the birdcage, and Liu Chan finally saw the birds inside—a gray and a white pigeon, and they started to cluck and cluck!

Liu Chan rushed over immediately, watched intently around the birdcage, and immediately asked Zhao Feng to prepare a carriage and send them outside the city.

Only then did Tuobawei open the pigeon cage and let the two carrier pigeons out. He didn't have to tie silk threads to their feet to prevent them from escaping, as he did back then.After the two carrier pigeons took off, they circled in the sky for a while and then flew towards the city.

Liu Chan hurriedly asked Tuoba Wei what was going on.Tuoba Wei pretended to be mysterious and did not answer, but let Zhao Feng set off, and then led everyone back to the envoy's mansion.When everyone came to the living room, both Deng Ai and Zhuge Qiao exclaimed. It turned out that the two pigeons that had been released just now had landed on the roof!

Liu Chan finally fully confirmed now that Tuobawei really succeeded in training the pigeons.He asked Tuobawei: "Mr. Tuoba, you haven't trained this pair of pigeons so far, have you?"

Tuoba Wei couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and said: "Master Liu doesn't know that these pigeons are not so easy to train. Previously, Wei just used them for experiments, and now he has mastered the technology. I believe that in the future, I will give you as much as you want. How much can be trained."

Liu Chan was overjoyed, and immediately took Tuoba Wei into his carriage and went out, because he wanted to recommend Tuoba Weihu to Zhuge's military adviser.

Military Master Zhuge heard from Liu Chan that Tuobawei was training pigeons at Han Long's house, but he didn't believe that Tuobawei could succeed, so he didn't care much when he saw Liu Chan bring Tuobawei to visit today.

But after talking with Tuobawei, he discovered that this person is quite talented and the pigeons he trained are also of great value.Military division Zhuge immediately decided to keep Tuobawei by his side, and be responsible for the transmission of military information, so that Tuobawei finally had a chance to show his skills.

However, Liu Chan's idea is more detailed and feasible.He has known for a long time that carrier pigeons are particularly vulnerable to attacks during the transmission of messages, especially at night, causing information leakage.So he asked the Zhuge military division to send hundreds of soldiers to Xichuan.What these people have to do along the way is to find hidden places along the way and secretly build more than ten pigeon lofts.In the future, it can provide a safe rest and foraging place for the pigeons that carry messages between Jingzhou and Yizhou every night.
