Fang Xiaoyu didn't know what the passivating agent of smokeless gunpowder was. This issue could only be left to Deng Jiaxiang, a chemical expert, to study slowly. In addition, nitric acid can make nitroglycerin, which is a high explosive, but nitroglycerin is very sensitive.
It will explode at the slightest touch. As for how to solidify nitroglycerin and reduce the sensitivity, I can only leave it to Deng Jiaxiang. Fang Xiaoyu thought this irresponsibly while eating.
Life at sea was more pleasant and leisurely. However, Fang Xiaoyu and the others did not live a boring life. Tesla and others moved all their experimental equipment to the boat. After they got better from seasickness, they devoted themselves to their research again.
Fang Xiaoyu will be consulted only on extremely difficult problems.
Liu Junxi brought the Iron Blood Guards for a training session. Although the space on the ship was small, they still found a lot of training content, such as ship seizing training or aiming practice, and of course the daily Bajiquan training. Xu Shouchang, the only free man,
Fang Xiaoyu instilled a lot of knowledge about armored warships in his spare time, which made him feel like he had found a treasure. He hid and drew pictures every day. In fact, a lot of knowledge about warships was just a concept, a manifestation of creativity and experience.
When it comes to warship design, Fang Xiaoyu is undoubtedly the number one person in the world. If the classic ship models and ideas in his mind were drawn into drawings, they would be enough to bury the Royal Navy Design Institute of the Saar Empire. Just pick out a few that can be used.
It was enough for Xu Shouchang to benefit endlessly.
As for the busiest person on the ship, Fang Xiaoyu. After convincing several scientists with the knowledge from textbooks several times, Fang Xiaoyu felt even more the importance of the knowledge he learned from school. Now the Eastern Continent is still a slave society.
, there is no universal education at all, and the importance of textbooks is even more self-evident.
If a nation wants to be strong, it mainly depends on the overall quality of its citizens. In the future world, a country where the majority of its citizens are illiterate will never be strong. Therefore, Fang Xiaoyu began to continue the work he started and continued to compile his own popular education.
textbook.
Fang Xiaoyu’s so-called compiled textbooks are completely based on what he learned back then. Although the education system of his motherland was not perfect at that time, at least he was very solid in the study of basic sciences. Even if Fang Xiaoyu’s memory is very strong, the more distant memories may be blurred.
Yes, only what is written down can be preserved forever. As long as there is time, Fang Xiaoyu not only wants to compile textbooks, he also wants to write down all his knowledge of the navy and firearms and give it to his scientists for research.
Fang Xiaoyu has a lot of work to do in the room, but he will not always shut himself in the room like a homebody. Work needs to be adjusted. Fang Xiaoyu likes to tease Elena when he has time. After such a long time
Contact, he and Elena are already very familiar with each other.
Fang Xiaoyu often teased her when he had time, often making Elena blush. After such a long period of contact, Fang Xiaoyu's extensive knowledge also made Elena very excited. Regarding Fang Xiaoyu's harmless teasing in secret, Elena let him go.
Too frivolous. Even though Elena is two or three years older than Fang Xiaoyu, based on the elf's lifespan of two hundred years, Elena's actual age is much younger than Fang Xiaoyu.
The leisurely days always passed quickly, compiling textbooks, flirting with beauties when free, and teaching the older students when he had time. Fang Xiaoyu lived a very comfortable life for more than half a year. Even if the transportation in this world is backward, he will eventually
When they reached their destination, they found the shortest way back.
In January 889 of the Taiyuan calendar, Fang Xiaoyu finally returned to the Lanfang Empire after a long absence. Returning to Quanzhou Port, before Fang Xiaoyu found the hotel, he found several brands with the name of Lanting Trading Company. In addition, he also found a
Lanting Bank and a McDonald's fast food restaurant. It seems that East China Bank and their company are developing really well. They have even opened stores in Quanzhou Port. Fang Xiaoyu did not alert anyone, but hired some carriages, and the group quietly set foot on the road to Lanting Villa.
the way.
This morning, when a guard soldier pushed open the gate of Lanting Villa, he found a huge convoy coming towards him in the distance. He immediately asked his companions to monitor him and went to report back. While Sun Huaizong and Hua Dongxing were waiting
When the group of people came to the gate, Elena had already walked out of the carriage with Fang Xiaoyu.
Sun Huaizong ran over excitedly and said: "Master, you are back. I haven't seen you in the past two years and I miss you so much." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I miss you too. I have gained a lot from coming back this time."
Hua Dongxing stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master, we have gained a lot in the past two years without you."
Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "I saw it as soon as I landed. I didn't expect that you have spread the property of Lanting Villa so big." Hua Dongxing said: "When I have time, I will report to the young master the development of the past two years." Fang Xiaoyu nodded.
The leader said: "Let's wait until tonight. Let me introduce some new friends to you first." After speaking, Fang Xiaoyu introduced everyone to Tesla and four other people who had just got out of the car and walked over.
Fang Xiaoyu pointed at the three Teslas and said: "These three are talented people from the Western Continent who were hired back by me." He pointed at Xu Shouchang and said: "This one, like Feng Jingru and others, also went to the Western Continent to study.
He has become a talented man." Sun Huaizong and others came forward to salute. Although Tesla and others did not understand the etiquette of the Lanfang Empire, they knew that the other party was saluting them, and they also saluted according to the habits of the Western Continent.
Qian Huilin walked out of the crowd, stepped forward and took Xu Shouchang's hand and said: "It turns out it's you, Brother Xu, you are finally back." Xu Shouchang was also surprised and said: "Brother Qian is also working under the young master. It's great.
Fang Xiaoyu pointed at the two of them with some doubts and said, "You two know each other?" Qian Huilin said with a smile, "We were originally classmates, but after graduation, I chose to return to China, while he chose to stay in Nantes."
Empire." Huo Lan also stepped forward and hugged the two of them and said: "The three of us are all classmates. I haven't seen my dear Qian for a long time. I really miss you."
Looking at the three people hugging each other in excitement, Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "But today you are finally together again. You two are the only shipbuilding engineers I have here, except of course the weirdo Huo Lan. From now on, my
The fleet still depends on you." Xu Shouchang smiled and said: "That's no problem, I want to build the giant battleship you mentioned." Holland protested from the side: "How can you say I am a freak? I just like it.
It's just a sneaking ship." Qian Huilin said with a smile: "It's great that our three old classmates meet again. It seems that someone has appreciated Huolan's research this time."
Everyone greeted each other in front of the gate, and Sun Huaizong invited everyone into the villa. Lin Feng had been helping Sun Huaizong manage the villa recently. Seeing so many new people, he immediately went to arrange accommodation until everyone was in the living room.
After sitting down inside, he came back sweating profusely.
Seeing Lin Feng coming back, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Lin Feng, come and sit down." Lin Feng wiped his sweat and said, "I just arranged that the four new people will live with Mr. Feng and the others.
Well, there happens to be an empty small courtyard next to them, which is more than enough for four people." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "That's great, you can discuss the problem together in your free time."
Qian Huilin said: "That's great. Brother Xu and Brother Huolan and I haven't seen each other for many years, so we need to get closer and closer." Feng Jingru asked: "Master, I don't know if you want to stay in the Western Continent."
People who have studied." After hearing Feng Jingru's words, Fang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up: "What? Are there many people who have studied in the Western Continent?"
Feng Jingru said: "There are not many people, but the Lanfang Empire looks down on those who study practical science, so they live in relatively low life. As long as the young master wants to find me, I can find them all." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Yes.
Of course, I want one of them, even those who learn Aberdeen. I can translate some books and teach students."
Feng Jingru nodded happily and said: "Then I will contact you. Dozens of old classmates have come to see me during the time the young master left. I don't dare to make the decision even if the young master is not here. I just ask them to wait." Fang Xiaoyu said:
"Invite them quickly and we will treat them favorably." Sun Huaizong on the side said: "Master, have we used so many people? It would be great if the master could become a lord in the future, but how can we have so many places to place people now?
.”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Place? Master, my place is quite big now." Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Fang Xiaoyu continued: "All of you here are close to me. I will tell you a secret here, but
This secret is very important and must not be spread out." Everyone nodded and looked at Fang Xiaoyu with curiosity.
