A few days later, under Bai Musheng's arrangement, Zhao Yun personally escorted the people from the Institute of Natural Sciences to Chang 'an.
Before these people arrived, Bai Musheng had already specially cleaned up a manor in the eastern suburbs of Chang 'an.
This manor belonged to the royal family and was usually left empty. After some planning, Bai Musheng arranged for the people from the physics department to stay in the manor. At the same time, he got Zhan Zhao to arrange for the Golden Guards to protect them.
Without his orders, no one was allowed to enter or leave.
When these people arrived at the manor, Bai Musheng couldn't wait to leave the palace to take a look.
However, before he set off, he asked someone to call Zhu Menghuang over.
"Out of the palace to play?"
Zhu Menghuang stood in front of Bai Musheng. She didn't expect him to ask her this question.
"Some people from the fief of Yunzhou have already arrived in Chang 'an. I've arranged for them to stay in the manor in the eastern suburbs and plan to rebuild it into a new physics courtyard. The last time I mentioned it to you, Huang 'er, it was about this physics department.”
Zhu Menghuang's interest was piqued when she heard Bai Musheng's words.
Of course, it was good to go out and play!
This palace was almost suffocating!
Bai Musheng naturally knew what she was thinking.
He immediately asked Ai Ning to make the arrangements and left the Great Ming Palace with Zhan Zhao and a small group of guards. They sat in a carriage and headed towards the manor in the eastern suburbs.
Apart from Zhu Menghuang, Bai Musheng also brought Zhang Liang and Zhou Yu along.
As Bai Musheng's absolute confidants, they naturally had the right to go and take a look ahead of everyone else.
In the huge and luxurious carriage, Bai Musheng lay down and stretched his long legs, resting his head on Zhu Menghuang's thighs.
"Husband, what fun things are there?”
Zhu Menghuang, who couldn't wait to know, asked on the way.
Bai Musheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes. He casually held one of Zhu Menghuang's small hands in his palm and played with it."I got someone to research some interesting things there. I can't tell you what they are for a while. The content of the research is also very complicated.”
Seeing that she could not get anything else out of him, Zhu Menghuang did not say anything else.
Not long after, the team arrived at the manor in the eastern suburbs.
The person in charge of the manor, who had already received the news in advance, was already waiting at the gate with his men.
When Bai Musheng and Zhu Menghuang appeared, many people immediately bowed.
In the Great Qi, unless it was a major sacrificial occasion, there was naturally no need for others to kneel for no reason.
"Everyone, please excuse the formalities."
After he got them to stand up, Bai Musheng went forward and smiled at the agitated middle-aged man.""Cunzhong, it's been a while, right?”
Shen Kuo, also known as Cunzhong, was a famous scientist in the Northern Song Dynasty.
He was a very powerful person. He had high attainments in astronomy, calendar, mathematics, physics, geography, biology, chemistry, medicine, water conservancy, military engineering, metalwork, architecture, literature, history, music, and many other fields.
There was also his work, Dream Stream Pen Talk, which was rich in content and gathered the achievements of the previous generation of science.
Back then, when he summoned this precious character, Bai Musheng almost died of joy. He didn't even think twice before handing over his scientific research mission to him.
When Shen Kuo saw Bai Musheng, he was so excited that he almost burst into tears.
" Your Highness…No…Your Majesty, I haven't seen Your Majesty for two years. Seeing that Your Majesty is well, my heart…my heart…"
Standing beside Bai Musheng, Zhu Menghuang looked at Shen Kuo's posture and sized up the two of them.
Why was this person so excited when he saw Gou 'zi?
Eh…! Could it be?
Bai Musheng glanced at Zhu Menghuang and decided to teach this lass a lesson later.
Shen Kuo naturally had his reasons for being so excited.
There was no doubt that Meng Xi's father-in-law was someone who had a high passion for scientific research. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to dabble in so many fields and even make achievements in every field.
Compared to becoming an official in the imperial court, Shen Kuo hoped to do his favorite research to his heart's content.
And Bai Musheng had given him this opportunity. Whether it was manpower or material resources, as long as Shen Kuo needed them, as long as Bai Musheng could provide them, he would immediately send them to him unconditionally.
Such generous treatment made Shen Kuo's heart filled with gratitude and tears, and he felt even more guilty for not being able to do anything for such a long time.
Now that he finally had some results, Shen Kuo was like a child who had finally gotten good results and could not wait to tell his parents so that they could share his joy.
Soon, everyone arrived at an empty field. In the middle of the field was a pile of soil and some gravel.
"This is…?"
"Your Majesty, later…mm, the sound waves might be a little loud. It might disturb Your Majesty, the Empress, and the other lords…"
Shen Kuo frowned and hesitated.
"The gunpowder that I brought people to experiment with was extremely powerful after being ignited. It was as if the world was about to collapse. Back then in Yunzhou, it even caused a house to collapse.”
"Wait a minute!"
Bai Musheng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Gunpowder, especially the early black gunpowder, was just a low-energy explosive. It was even better to call it an explosive.
However, from what Shen Kuo said just now, it didn't seem like the effect of black gunpowder.
"You said that the house collapsed?"
"I dare not deceive Your Majesty." Shen Kuo nodded repeatedly." We even injured quite a few craftsmen.”
"Where are the injured craftsmen?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Shen Kuo couldn't help but laugh when he saw how concerned Bai Musheng was about the craftsmen." I've always followed the rules that Your Majesty has repeatedly instructed me to do, so I'm safe. Those craftsmen only suffered minor injuries.”
Bai Musheng heaved a sigh of relief.
These craftsmen were all young scientists. Bai Musheng would be heartbroken if they hurt him.
He turned his attention back to the gunpowder.
The collapse of the house was definitely not something black gunpowder could do, so…
Bai Musheng looked at Shen Kuo strangely.
"Bring up the gunpowder you made.”
A moment later-
Someone carefully carried a box over. Bai Musheng was about to go over to take a look when he was stopped by Shen Kuo.
"Your Majesty, you can't do that. This thing is very dangerous! Let me do it!"
Seeing how nervous he was, Bai Musheng let Shen Kuo handle the situation.
Shen Kuo placed the box on the table and carefully opened it. He did not know what mechanism the box had, but after opening it, it actually extended into a flat surface, exposing the contents inside.
Zhang Liang and the others were confused. Zhan Zhao wanted to go up and take a look, but he was stopped.
Zhu Menghuang looked left and right, not finding anything interesting.
Wasn't this just a ball of cotton?
What was so good about cotton…
'Cotton'?
Bai Musheng's lips twitched.
He looked at the nitrogen fiber explosives in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Shen Kuo, you really can give me a big surprise…
