Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1005

[Chapter 1005]

“Your Highness, this is the canned horse meat we trial produced.” While Zhao Xu was looking at it, the head of the cannery brought a silver-gray canned box.

Zhao Xu smiled, and turned to Chen Xu, the director of the Industry Department, and other officials. “Come on, let’s try it together.”

This Chen Xu was the first batch of students in the science and technology school, but he was said to be his student.

Before that, he had been following Wang Chong in the Research Institute.

But the Department of Industry is a technical job, and officials who know nothing about industry cannot be placed in this position.

So, he asked Chen Xu to come over.

Because although this Chen Xu is not as talented in a certain field as Qu Sheng and Wang Chong are, he is a generalist, and his level is not bad.

It is precisely because of him that the Industrial Division can cooperate seamlessly with the R&D Institute.

When he went out to fight last year, he planned the industrial construction of Dasong and built many new workshops.

“Your Highness, let me open the lid.” Chen Xu replied yes, and took the tin box attentively.

Asked for a dagger from the head of the canning workshop, he picked it along the edge of the box, and the lid opened, revealing the red horse meat inside.

“It smells pretty good.” Chen Xu sniffed it and praised.

The head of the canning workshop listened, and his face turned into a flower with a smile.

Chen Xu brought the can to Zhao Xu again, “Your Highness, please taste it.”

Zhao Xu was not polite, took the can, pinched a piece of horse meat and ate it.

Although the horse meat is cold, the taste is that of braised horse meat.

For people of this era, this is definitely a delicious meal.

Even if it is sold as a commodity, it must be fashionable now.

“Not bad, not bad.” Zhao Xu showed a satisfied look, and gave the can to Chen Xu for the officials of the Industry Department to taste.

In this battle of Yongzhou, too many horses died.

This horse meat comes from these war horses, and it can be described as a pure natural and pollution-free food.

The officials tasted one by one, some gave thumbs up, some nodded frequently.

Zhao Xu said to the cannery owner, “Hurry up and adjust the equipment, the soldiers on the expedition are waiting to eat your canned food.”

“Don’t worry, Your Highness, we promise to deliver on time with quality and quantity.” The cannery owner said, patting his chest.

Zhao Xu nodded.

After walking around the canned food shop again, Zhao Xu, Chen Xu and others went to the last stop in the light industry workshop area, the battery workshop.

Dasong’s electricity experiment started with a voltaic battery.

But the voltaic battery is an extremely backward product, which is bulky and not easy to carry.

So he asked the busy Li Wei to get out the dry batteries by the way.

The earliest contemporary dry battery was born in 1860.

What he asked Li Wei to make was this first-generation dry battery, a carbon-zinc battery.

The image of this kind of battery is basically the same as that of contemporary batteries. There is a carbon column in the middle, zinc around the outer skin, and a pasty electrolyte mixed with carbon powder, manganese dioxide, and ammonium chloride in the middle.

Previously, although Li Wei had already produced dry batteries, he could only make them in the laboratory.

Now, hydrogen can extract manganese and synthesize manganese dioxide, which can be used to produce ammonium chloride in Hou’s alkali-making process. The materials for making dry batteries are all complete.

Because of this, the dry battery workshop and the alkali industry were built at the same time.

However, since the alkali-making workshop has not yet been put into operation, the dry battery workshop cannot be put into operation at present, and it will be March at the earliest.

However, the assembly of the battery cannot be carried out, but the carbon rod and outer skin of the dry battery can be produced.

When he arrived at the dry battery workshop, Zhao Xu heard the roar of the machine.

Entering the workshop, the craftsmen of the battery workshop are making these two accessories.

“The advent of dry batteries can give birth to many small electrical appliances.” Chen Xu looked expectantly as he inspected the battery workshop’s production line.

At this moment, several industrial products that can use batteries have appeared in his mind.

King Yan once told them when he was in the science and technology school.

“Like a flashlight.” Zhao Xu smiled lightly.

Chen Hu’s words caused his heart to surge.

Since he had the electricity, he felt as if his meridian had been opened up, and he was about to sublimate, and countless new things would appear in a blowout.

In addition to the flashlight he said can be realized at the current industrial level, there is another thing that can also be realized, and this is the most primitive camera.

At present, the R&D Institute is already developing cameras, just waiting for the battery to appear.

…

at the same time.

When Zhao Xu was inspecting the light industry workshop area.

The Second Army of the Qinglong Army led by Mu An arrived in Longyou County.

After a short rest, he immediately launched an attack on Longyou County.

Ruan Youjin stationed his army in Zhiling County, which left Longyou County empty of troops.

At this moment, there are no more than 3,000 defenders in the county.

Although there are about 20,000 soldiers who fled from Zhiling County in the city.

But these soldiers were basically scared out of their wits, and they didn’t dare to fight with Da Song’s army at all.

No matter what the generals urged, they just refused to go to the city.

Now, they just want to have a meal in the county seat, and then continue to flee south.

Therefore, as soon as Mu An launched an attack, Longyou County collapsed in less than half an hour.

These 3000 Jiaozhi soldiers were the opponents of 20000 Qinglong Army, they suffered heavy casualties immediately.

Before nightfall, the Azure Dragon Army entered the city smoothly.

After resting overnight, Mu An left two thousand soldiers to defend the city, waiting for the rest of the troops to arrive.

He led the rest of the soldiers and horses to go southward first, and headed for Hanoi.

Leaving Longyou County, we walked south for about 30 li and walked out of the mountain.

An endless plain appeared in front of Mu An.

“Cochin Dog Emperor, I’m here to catch you!” After spitting, Mu An ordered the army to head towards Hanoi.

When the Qinglong Army marched towards Hanoi, a Marine Corps consisting of 8,000 soldiers had to march towards Hanoi.

This marine corps is commanded by captain Pan Chang’s captain Ding Lu.

After receiving their telegram from General Zhou Yi, he led the marines stationed in Luzon to Jiaozhi.

This time, he dispatched a total of 12,000 people.

Four thousand of them landed from the middle of Cochin, dividing Cochin into two.

He personally led 8,000 people to Hanoi.

Along the way, he encountered only a little resistance, and they were all defenders of Jiaozhi County.

These defenders are naturally vulnerable to the Marine Corps.

Therefore, the current Marine Corps is almost like no one’s land.

After more than a day’s trek, the marines entered Hanoi where the Imperial City of Cochin is located.

At this time, he vaguely heard gunshots from the north.   After listening carefully, his complexion changed, and he said, “The Qinglong army has already fought with the Jiaozhi army. Brothers, follow me. Whoever enters the

Jiaozhi Palace first will be promoted to three levels in a row!”

rush away.

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Marine Corps were immediately refreshed, and followed them with howls.

As soon as the marines appeared near Jiaozhi City, they were immediately spotted by Mu An’s people.

Knowing that the marines came from the east, Mu An gritted his teeth and shouted, “Hit me hard, let the marines see how our army fights!”

After his words fell, the gunshots in Beicheng suddenly became more intense.
