Daqin Engineers

After returning to the artillery, Shen Bing began to make fire bombs.

Fire bombs were not as difficult as they thought, so Shen Bing divided the fire bombs into three types and tested them.

After all, this is to be put on the battlefield.

It's too late to make a decision and wait until the actual combat.

The first fire bomb is made of Song Ming.

Shen Bing once thought that "Songming" was a modern term, but only after asking did he know that it was in ancient times.

Mountain pine is rich in grease and is split into thin strips to burn for lighting, which is called "songming".

That is, some pine tree trunks have very high rosin content, so they are all orange or red.

So it was easy to light it, and Shen Bing used it to make fire and cook when he was young.

The ancients used Songming as a torch, which burned for a long time.

To make a fire bomb is to split it into thin strips and then tie them into a bundle, and then fly with a catapult...

A bundle of fireballs skyrocketed.

The second is to use linen cloth.

The linen cloth is wrapped with rosin in circles, tied into a ball, and when it is lit, it is a perfect fireball.

The third type is stone ball fireball.

It is a strip of cloth twisted with linen cloth and turpentine wrapped around the stone bullet.

Fatty was very curious and approached Shen Bing when others were busy and asked:

"Master Gong Cheng."

"If the fire is to attack the enemy camp, you only need to make a fire bomb."

"Come and go to burn camp. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to do three things?"

Cang immediately replied:

"Don't be silly."

"How can the senior brother's idea be unnecessary?"

"I don't know how many kilograms I have, but I came to teach my brother!"

Fatty Tun hurriedly answered:

"Big... big... forgive me."

"The villain doesn't...no, that's what it means."

Shen Bing certainly doesn't blame Fatty Tun, in fact he thinks Fatty Tun is good.

Being curious, asking and learning is the first element of learning.

But Qin Shi did not advocate this.

Qin even banned the second occupation of the people, that is, those who fished were not allowed to hunt, and those who worked were not allowed to do business.

Otherwise, it will be another crime... There are many more crimes in this era.

Investigating the reason, Shen Bing believes that one aspect is low productivity.

On the other hand, the ruler is better managed.

There is no need to say more about better management. People can do what they are, and society is so simple.

Low productivity determines that most people are exhausted physically and mentally if they only do one job.

Such as farming, such as fishing.

But there are often people with big appetites who want to work in other industries to grab jobs from others.

As the saying goes, "surgery has specialization."

These part-timers often lose their own business but cannot take advantage of others, neither of them.

More examples of this will have an impact on national production and of course also affect taxation.

So simply use the legal situation to stipulate that "the second industry is forbidden."

This law even continued into the Han Dynasty.

So those novels that traveled to the Qin and Han dynasties were about farming and business...

I've never died, right?

Is it too long?

After a few more times, I will understand!

Fatty Tun is a merchant. If he hadn't served in the Qin army, he could not dabble in the craftsmanship industry.

Shen Bing replied as he wrapped the linen ball:

"I won't do it again."

"Songming is tied into a bundle that is not easy to roll. It can be used to burn city walls if it has a short range."

"The linen ball is flexible and easy to roll. It has the farthest range and can hit the city to burn camps."

"If it rolls back because of the steep slope, it will burn the inside of the city wall."

"As for this flint bullet..."

"Then smash the city wall and then burn it, the effect is not bad as expected."

The fat man was dumbfounded.

It took a while before he swallowed hard:

"My lord, why do you know that this Songming projectile is not far away."

"This linen ball has the farthest range?"

"They are comparable in weight."

...

Shen Bing didn't bother to explain to Fatty Tun.

It is indeed difficult for the ancients to understand this.

Why does the same trebuchet have different ranges when launching objects of the same weight?

The shape...

The range is not only related to the force, but also to the shape, mass, and air resistance.

So the ball-shaped and lightest linen ball can definitely hit the farthest.

Irregular Songming bullets and larger flint bullets are comparable, and they are just right for burning city walls.

Shen Bing grabbed the linen ball in his hand, got up and said:

"Just try it."

So a few people rushed to install various fire bombs for several trebuchets.

The result of the launch is so, every time the ball hit the farthest, and at least fifty steps away.

At the same time, just as Shen Bing estimated, the linen bullets would roll back along the steep slope.

Ever since, this thing will burn all the way back.

If this fireball is blocked by a camp or a pile of sawdust, it will look better.

This only surprised the fat man as a god.

I kept yelling to myself:

"Odd, amazing!"

"My lord actually knew this result before the test!"

"True is a god-man."

...

While speaking, he looked at Shen Bing from time to time, his eyes were full of incredible.

Shen Bing was a little surprised.

Because compared to other people, this fat man seems to be particularly interested in projectile motion.

As the saying goes, "the outsider sees the excitement, the insider sees the doorway."

Even those who don’t know what’s great are just a few thumbs up and it’s over.

They have become accustomed to this. Can they play farther or later will find out if they study it?

Only Newton would wonder why the apple fell into the ground instead of flying into the sky.

So most craftsmen are not surprised.

But this fat man was full of question marks and shock.

This seems to indicate that he sees the way.

Shen Bing thought that he might be able to teach this fat man when he is free sometime.

But now there is no such idle time...

Shen Bing threw a sackcloth ball to Fatty Tun and ordered:

"Just make it like this."

"The weight and size must be the same."

The fat man answered "No", turned to leave but was stopped by Shen Bing.

Shen Bing patted Fat Zitun on the shoulder, and said earnestly:

"Young man, work hard."

"The road is tortuous, and the future is bright."

"One day, you will learn all my skills and go to the top of life."

...

Wait, why is this so familiar?

If you hear this in modern times, the first feeling is that you have been fooled!

But in the Warring States period, where did Fatty Tun know this?

He was immediately overwhelmed with excitement:

"No, much...thank you for your teaching!"

"The villain will...definitely do his best to...repay the grace of the adults."

"Big, big...what else do people command?"

Shen Bing nodded heavily:

"Go ahead!"

"I am optimistic about you!"

"Come on!"

Fatty Titted again, and then he went away.

Seeing that the fat man was smashing chicken blood, Shen Bing thought to himself:

"sure!"

"The ancients are so good to cheat?"

"If this is to open a company in this era to recruit a group of people. Use the modern style to coax."

"Does the counting of money mean cramps?"
