Chapter 524: The Ancients Were Just Ancient, Not Stupid
After Yue Mu's words fell, Yue Ruyan's seventh aunt and eighth aunt all looked a little lonely.
After Yue Mu's sister pondered for a while, she said: "Didn't An Guogong fall in love with Ruyan? Even Jin Xia Manzi is no match for An Guogong. With An Guogong's strength, if he helps us, we will return to Longyou , it shouldn’t be difficult to rebuild the legacy of our ancestors.”
Yue's mother was silent. Indeed, the Yue family's current situation alone would not allow them to return to Longyou on their own, but with Chen Mo's help, it would be different.
"Yes, Ruyan has moved to Duke An's residence, and now she may be Duke An's woman. If she doesn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's, just based on this relationship, Duke An will not help." Yue said. Ruyan's aunt said.
"Yes, yes"
Listening to the clan members' words, Yue's mother sighed again and said: "But Ruyan has not entered the Chen family's door after all, and has no status, so how can she open her mouth?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came quickly and said, "Madam, the eldest lady of Duke Anguo's Mansion has sent a message, inviting you to come to Duke Anguo's Mansion to meet and discuss the marriage of the head of the family."
Hearing this, Yue Mu was also stunned, and then her eyes lit up. Now the Yue family could only rely on Chen Mo. Naturally, she hoped that Yue Ruyan could enter the Chen family as soon as possible.
"Just tell me that I will come over right away." Yue Mu said happily.
The Yue family asked Chen Mo for something, so they didn't mind Wu Mi's request to get married this month. On the contrary, it was just as Yue's mother wished.
With both parties happy, the marriage went smoothly, and it was finally agreed that Yue Ruyan would come in on the 21st of this month.
It's January 9th, which means there are eleven days left.
Fortunately, it was concubinage. Even with the addition of the Badi Bridge, these ten days did not seem rushed.
After the marriage was settled, Yue Ruyan stopped living in Anguo Mansion and returned to Yuezhai.
…
Chen Mo didn't know the specific time of the wedding yet. After breakfast, he went to the gunpowder workshop in Suzaku Camp, planning to expand the factory for manufacturing explosives and increase the output of explosives.
Tian Sheng showed him the thirteen red cannons newly made during his time fighting in the north.
When Chen Mo sent troops to resist Jin Xia, he did not take away everyone in the Suzaku Guard. The craftsmen who made the red cannons and explosive shells were all still in Xiangyang.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. When a craftsman masters the process of making red cannons, the speed of manufacturing will naturally increase.
Tian Sheng brought Chen Mo to a workbench made of stone bricks.
Pointing to a new type of clay pot bomb, he said: "Dong An, didn't you tell your subordinates before that you should improve the power of the explosive bombs?"
Chen Mo nodded: "What's wrong?"
"My subordinates and master craftsmen thought about it and read ancient books, hoping to open up their minds. Finally, they found an alchemy method called "Ling Lian" in a book recording Taoist alchemy."
Tian Sheng took out the book from the workbench and found the description of "Spiritual Refining" above. Then he slowly said: "To put it simply, this method means that when refining alchemy, if you pour it into the alchemy furnace, The innate spiritual energy can not only better remove impurities from the elixir, but also greatly improve the potency of the elixir, and allow the innate spiritual energy poured into the elixir furnace to be stored in the elixir, making it better for people to swallow the elixir. absorb.
So my subordinates thought, if the clay pot bomb is used as a pill, and the gunpowder is purified using the spiritual refining method, and a part of the innate spiritual energy is stored inside the clay pot, will its power be significantly increased when it explodes? . "
After listening to Tian Sheng's story carefully, Chen Mo stared at Tian Sheng with admiration in his eyes. Not to mention whether the method Tian Sheng said could work, his bold idea alone was worth it. definitely.
You know, many things that change human beings are created by chance.
This made Chen Mo think of a saying on the Internet, saying that ancients are just ancient, not stupid.
They are just limited by the limitations of the times. If they provide the ancients with vision and ideas, they can create many unexpected things with their intelligence.
Tian Sheng can be regarded as the ancient man in this sentence.
Chen Mo provided him with vision and ideas, allowing him to see what black powder was, what a cannon was, and what a bomb was.
Then based on these foundations, it is possible for him to improve and innovate and create new things.
"Mr. An Guo, what's wrong? Is what my subordinate said wrong?" Tian Sheng said a little uneasily when he saw Chen Mo looking at him with a straight look.
"It's okay." Chen Mo returned his gaze to the new clay bomb on the workbench and said, "So this is the bomb you mentioned that stores innate spiritual energy? How powerful is it?"
Tian Sheng shook his head in embarrassment and said: "Back to Lord An, I haven't started working on it yet. This is just an idea of my subordinates. This is a mold made by my subordinates based on the ideas in my mind."
After all, without Chen Mo’s nod, Tian Sheng wouldn’t dare to mess around. There is an independent department in the Suzaku Guard, which will come to review the accounts of the gunpowder workshop every other time. If they knew that they had used the money to make artillery and explosives, , if you use it to study this kind of thing, you will definitely get no good results.
"It's okay." Chen Mo smiled and patted Tian Sheng on the shoulder and said, "I'm very interested in the idea you mentioned. Go for it boldly. I support you. Don't worry about money. You can use the three thousand taels allocated first. "If it's not enough, I'll ask for it."
Chen Mo thinks Tian Sheng is worth investing in.
Feeling Chen Mo's trust in him, Tian Sheng was so moved that he almost wanted to cry. He said solemnly: "I will never let down the trust of Duke Anguo."
Coming out of the Suzaku camp, Chen Mo saw Sun Meng running quickly from the distant street, with an anxious look on his face. After seeing Chen Mo, he said from a distance: "My Lord, I am late, please forgive me."
But Chen Mo noticed the red number on his forehead.
235.
"You have a breakthrough?" Chen Mo said.
Sun Meng was not surprised that Chen Mo saw that he had broken through. After all, the other party was a top-grade warrior. When he came closer, Sun Meng bowed and said, "Thanks to the spirit fish sent by the Marquis last night, I was able to sense the opportunity to break through. Thanks to the method of absorbing qi given by the Marquis, I broke through this morning."
After saying that, Sun Meng sighed again and said, "It's a pity that my talent is not good. I can only sense the lowest Xiaoqing spiritual energy. The method of absorbing qi given by the Marquis was wasted."
The strength of the middle-grade warriors of the same level depends on who can sense the innate spiritual energy better.
Xiaoqing spiritual energy is a common innate spiritual energy.
