Chapter 22 Assumption Cathedral (Part 1)

 Qitad did not let Bayar be idle, but asked him to immediately go to the three Georgian kingdoms.

Now he has only added three brigades. After half a year, their equipment has been fully equipped. Now the craftsmen of Stavropol can make all their efforts to create the best-selling product of the Truchen Khanate - the flintlock rifle behind it.

Qitad did not hide his own privately, because it was unnecessary. At this time, the firearms in Europe, Ottomans and Persia were very prosperous. As long as these guns flowed into them, it was only a matter of time before they were imitated with their huge craftsmen.

But they did not master the technology of adding heavy materials when smelting iron. If they wanted to create complex machine springs, they could only work hard on smelting and forging the iron material itself. In this way, in addition to the high cost, the efficiency was also very poor.

According to his latest news, with a scale of thousands of people, the cost of rear-mounted flintlock rifles imitated by the Tula Arsenal not far from southern Moscow has soared to nearly 500 silver coins per shot.

Therefore, his flintlock rifle still has a cost advantage and can be produced in large quantities. With the steam engine, the production efficiency will be higher.

Also, by this time, through the exploration of craftsmen, Aktobi Factory has mastered the technology of adding nickel materials and started a small-scale trial of real stainless steel products there.

It can be expected that once this product comes out, it will become another flagship product of Truchen.

Also, in terms of medical care, Qitade finally decided to try the original penicillin.

At present, his two wives, Tolando and Jaen are very busy, but the poor Abahai is free.

Qitade, who always emphasizes the way of balance, naturally doesn't want to see such a scene.

On this day, he handed Abahai a piece of paper.

Abahai took it and saw it said:

"Grind the rice obtained from Dorbastan into juice, and ground the sweet potato obtained from the Ottomans into juice, and mix it in a small bowl"

"Waiting for it to get moldy"

"Find out a larger glass bottle, seal it with high-quality film produced by Culisarai, cut a small hole on it, take a glass funnel, put it in the pure cotton used in the clinic, and pour the moldy juice into the glass bottle through the cotton"

"Remove the film"

"Then pour in the vegetable oil that was also obtained from the Dobastan, the amount used is three times that of moldy juice. Take out the funnel and stir with clean ivory chopsticks"

"Until I found that the liquid in the glass bottle was divided into three layers"

"Scoop out the two layers of oil and fat on the top with an equally clean ivory spoon, leaving only the water at the bottom"

"Prepare some toner in advance, add it to it, stir slowly until all the moisture inside is absorbed by the toner"

“……”

“……”

Abahai was a little confused. Qitad looked at her and smiled and said, "This is an excellent recipe for making magic pills that I suddenly came up with. The process is very complicated. I still need to wait. I have marked it all."

"I will select two female students with outstanding physical and chemistry from Truchen Academy to help you conduct the experiment. By the way, I have selected a room specifically for you for testing. Remember, everything needs to be clean."

Abahai nodded. She understood why Qitade wanted to let her do these things, and she suddenly felt a little choked.

"Okay, remember, in the last step, Penicillium appears in a circle around the liquid, and it is only after there is no middle. These two female students, one is good at doing experiments and the other is good at research processes, you supervise them to do it"

....

Just as Qitad continued to cultivate the fields in Stavropol, a majestic white city that was no less than Astrakhan was officially completed in Cuban hundreds of miles away.

This was built by Kuban Governor Suvorov, who used five thousand serfs and prisoners of war, took three years to build.

The castle was officially named Krasnodar. The sign of the castle was the pattern of the last oak board on the spire of the Assumption Cathedral in the middle.

The smell of asphalt is still floating in the church. In order to prevent water, they also used this object. There are several natural asphalt in their borders, and the nearest Atlau is far more than Culisarido.

After the asphalt is dry, apply another layer of paint on it, and then paint on it and it is done.

Under the leadership of Bishop Kuban, after the prayer, Suvorov, who was the same age as Qitad, turned around and walked out, following Dudaev, the commander of the Cossack Brigade, closely following.

"Wait a minute..."

A hoarse voice came from the depths of the church.

Suvorov stopped and turned around.

A man in his forties, a short and fat man wearing a black top hat and a black tuxedo came towards him.

"Teacher..., is it you?"

"Of course it's me, are there anyone else?" The man said, throwing a booklet into Suvorov's hand, and then shouted, "What kind of text is this!"

Suvorov took it and looked at it, and said, "This is Chinese, the words used in the Qing Dynasty at present. I'm sorry, I can only understand a few of them, what!"

He happened to see the cover, with two large characters written in Chinese characters - physics, and three lines of small characters below, which are written in Russian, Mongolian, and Turkic.

He quickly opened it, and then he realized why the man was so shocked.

All the contents are written in Chinese, but there are many illustrations. Suvorov is proficient in physics at this time and it is easy to find that it must have involved leverage, buoyancy, parabola, optics and other contents.

The middle-aged man was the teacher he once worshipped. Now the only Russian academician of the Moscow Academy of Sciences is Lomonosov, who was considered the largest scientist in Russia at that time!

Suvorov held the book tightly in his heart, "Is this the secret of Truchen's rise? But I heard that they controlled the textbooks very strictly. Students should not leave the school normally. When leaving the school, they had to leave the book and check whether there were any missing or leaks one by one. Why did the teacher have a book in his hand?"

"Bang!" Lomonosov slapped him on the shoulder, making him stagger.

Suvorov then came to his senses and quickly apologized to Lomonosov, "I'm rude, teacher, by the way, where does this book come from?"

Lomonosov did not answer him directly, but pulled him upstairs.

Suvorov had no choice but to follow him up the spiral staircase leading to the top of the church.

The top of the Assumption Cathedral of Our Lady in Krasnodar is thirty meters high, and the two walked for a while before climbing up.

Walking near the bell tower, they stopped.

"Alexander, is this your masterpiece?"

Suvorov knew what he meant, and said, "About eight years ago, Saray, the son of the Khalmykites, was originally a possession of Astrakhan, and our country treated him well. Most people sent him to Kazan, and he was in Astrakhan not far from their tent, Vitlingka."

"But this person seems to be not satisfied with our country and always wants to escape. His father also sent people to sneak into the castle several times to take him away"

"One day, Salay got the opportunity to ride a horse and ran out. He was only fourteen years old. He was discovered by the patrol Cossack before he ran far. He fell into the swamp and fell seriously ill after he was caught."

"You know that in that case, few people survive unless God gives mercy"

"But this person is obviously better, and he pretended to be dead and deceived Takishyev, a high-ranking official in Astrakhan Province. This made Takishyev feel very guilty. You know, the Kalmyks are a powerful tribe, and their combat power is above the Kazakhs. They have also made a lot of contributions in several foreign wars in our country."

"Our enemies, the Ottomans and Persians, all have a large number of cavalry, and although we also have Cossacks, we need to guard the long border, so not many of them stay in Europe"

"So, if you want to fight Persia and the Ottomans, you must rely on cavalry, and the Kalmyks are one of them"

"After Salai came back, he lurked in the Truchen area to develop secretly. When he came out again, he had an elite brigade with all muskets under his command."

"At this time, the original Governor of Ottomans, Georgia, was preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of the neutral zone to capture some pagans in the North Caucasus and sell them to Istanbul, but unfortunately met the Truchens"

"At that time, the Kuban area was stationed at our most respected Colonel Rumentsev. He was also present at the time and was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet and died. It was said that it was done by the Ottomans with a very long range of thin guns. Later I realized that it should have been done by the Truchens who were ambushing the mountain."

"Rumensev is good at everything, but he has a problem. He likes to personally approach the target during the battle to investigate. According to common sense, it is not easy to aim at a character with his current musket from three hundred meters away, but the Truchens actually did it"

"Now it seems that at that time they had a weapon that could accurately hit the enemy from a distance, but it was definitely not a flintlock gun behind it"

"I have this kind of musket now, and it does load faster, but because it is rear-mounted, it also affects its sealing properties, resulting in a shortening of the range. Overall, it is only a little better than our ordinary flintlock guns"

"Just this little bit is not enough to make the Kalmyks our enemies, but they can become enemies of the Kazakhs, Chechens, and Shivas. This is also the secret to their victory in the battles with them several times"

"However, the recent victory against Zhongyuzi is obviously not the case. Perhaps there were new weapons when Xiaoyuzi was taken before, but they had strict control over this weapon. I have not seen it yet. I just heard from people from the Khitan Alliance that it seems to be a short gun that can be fired continuously."

"They saw a short gun with a bulging belly, which posed a fatal threat to the Kazakh cavalry."

"Also, they seem to have mastered a technique that allows soil to mix stones and allow them to quickly solidify, and also a technique that can fire bricks and tiles quickly, which allows them to build castles quickly and efficiently"
