Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Gao Qiu nodded repeatedly after hearing this:

"What General Hu Yan said is true. Since General Hu Yan has good martial arts, I think the generals who can be recommended by General Hu Yan will certainly not be low in ability."

"So as for the school entrance exam, I think it can be waived."

"After the general returned today, he tried every means to contact the two generals and strive to recruit them all within three days."

"After I have ordered all the troops and horses here, we will mobilize all our troops and march down."

"The soldiers are pointing directly at the Liangshan Mountains!"

……

Within the next few days.

No matter whether it was Gao Qiu, Hu Yanzhuo's group of imperial troops, or Zhong Sijin and others, they were all busy.

A group of people are recruiting soldiers to form a new army.

The other group of people quickly headed towards Shuibo Liangshan.

As for Zhao Ji, I thought I would have a few days of leisure.

But he never thought that Shen Kuo would take out the miniaturized gearbox at this time.

This version of the gearbox has been greatly reduced in size from the first version.

If we say that the first version of the gearbox is as large as a carriage as a whole.

So the current gearbox is not only made of metal, but also is less than one meter square in size.

When Zhao Ji saw this version of the gearbox, he was naturally extremely satisfied.

Although in his opinion, it would be better if this gearbox could be made smaller.

But he also knew that considering the industrial level of this period, it was pretty good to be able to make something of this size.

Therefore, Zhao Ji relaxed his requirements for the Ministry of Industry and instead presented the drawings of simple armored fighting vehicles that had been drawn a few days ago to Shen Kuo.

This simple chariot is much smaller than an entire carriage.

Under the chassis, there are four wheels for fast travel.

As for the power system, it is also replaced by a steam engine.

The steam engine transmits the power to the gearbox, and ultimately increases the speed of the main shaft by more than several times, driving the wheels installed next to it, and then driving the entire simple armored combat vehicle.

As for the interior of the armored fighting vehicle, it can only accommodate one person.

When Shen Kuo saw the drawings of this simple armored tank, he couldn't help but find this kind of thing quite interesting.

Although this thing seems to have a complicated shape, as long as the functions and principles of the steam engine and gearbox are understood, it is only a matter of time to build this simple armored fighting vehicle.

Shen Kuo looked at it and already had his own manufacturing ideas in his mind.

According to him, that is:

"If the manufacturing completion period given by the government can be relaxed as much as possible."

"Then there is no problem at all in making this kind of car."

In this regard, Zhao Ji did not urge Shen Kuo, but said to him very generously:

"When Shen Aiqing makes this kind of car, just try your best."

"Whether it's faster or slower, it doesn't matter."

"When all the tasks I assign to you are completed in a hurry."

"I will definitely reward you heavily here."

Shen Kuo had no worries about Zhao Ji's behavior of drawing pie.

Because before this, Zhao Ji had never treated their Ministry of Industry poorly.

So Shen Kuo, when he heard this sentence, he felt extremely excited.

He hurriedly said to Zhao Jilian:

"My lord, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the officials."

"I will definitely bring my subordinate officials to make this thing as soon as possible to prepare for the unexpected needs of the officials."

In the evening of this day.

After Zhao Ji had dinner, he lazily returned to the study room.

The reason why Zhao Ji often comes here is not because he likes reading.

But here, there are both reading tasks assigned by the ancestors, and countless memorials from the court that need to be reviewed.

At the beginning, Zhao Ji still had many difficulties when reviewing those memorials.

After all, he really had never been exposed to these things before.

However, after he humbly consulted Liu Tanxin several times.

Zhao Ji was no longer afraid of those memorials.

Zhao Ji spent more than an hour reviewing the memorials.

After slowly stretching, I wanted to go out of the room and take a walk in the garden outside to relax.

But as soon as Zhao Ji opened the door to the study room, a strong wind mixed with fine raindrops blew in.

He blew Zhao Ji off and was quite embarrassed.

There were drops of rain on his face.

The top of the dragon robe was also wet with several patches from the rain.

Looking at a few small trees in the distance, they were swaying in the wind and rain.

Zhao Ji sighed with a wry smile, and then closed the door, preparing to return to the desk to look for any other books he had not read yet to pass the time.

But as soon as Zhao Ji got behind the dragon chair, he stepped on the entrance of the secret passage leading to Fan Tower.

Under a section of the floor, it was empty.

Therefore, when people walk up, they will inevitably make a hollow sound.

Zhao Jixian took a look at the floor under his feet, and then wanted to sit on the dragon chair.

At the same time, he also said something quite complicated in his heart:

I'm afraid this tunnel will be of little use in the future.

After all, Master Li has already been taken into the harem by himself.

If you want to, you can go and see it at any time.

If you continue to keep this secret passage, you may not know that some bad people will use this secret passage to your disadvantage in the future.

Zhao Ji thought about this, so he made up his mind.

After the morning court tomorrow, I will call Eunuch Sheng over and ask him to lead people to completely seal this secret passage to prevent future troubles.

But after Zhao Ji sat in the wheelchair, he couldn't help but feel sad.

This secret passage is so long, and I wonder how much manpower and time was wasted when it was first dug?

After tomorrow, it will be completely blocked.

Thinking about it this way, it's a bit of a pity.

Don't you know that I should go in and take a look around this secret passage before it is blocked?

Anyway, at this moment, I am tired of reviewing memorials.

Outside, it started to rain again, and I couldn't go anywhere.

After drilling through the secret passage again, it's time to go out for a walk.

Zhao Ji thought about this and had nothing to hesitate.

After picking up the two oil lamps placed on the desk, he moved a piece of floor behind the dragon chair.

Follow the ladder at the bottom of the secret passage and walk down slowly.

Because the other end of this secret passage leads directly to a dry well, and it is open all year round.

So if Zhao Ji goes down now, he doesn't have to worry about any poisonous gas in the tunnel that will knock him out.

After walking for a while.

Zhao Ji came to the dry well again, followed the ladder placed aside, and slowly climbed up.

It's still the same yard.
