Every ingredient of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was high-end. Every ingredient had high nutritional value, and the taste was very good. The meat was fragrant and delicious. It was neither oily nor greasy, nourishing the kidneys, blood, and strengthening the body. It had high therapeutic value.
This kind of high-end dish could promote growth, strengthen immunity, beautify and nourish the skin, inhibit the formation of blood clots, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, reduce triglycemia, and increase hematopoietic function.
It could also accelerate wound healing, prevent aging, promote growth, improve coronary heart disease, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and soften blood vessels. It could also improve immunity, regulate meridians, and promote growth and development.
Of course, these were not the only benefits of the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup. There were many more magical effects that had not been discovered yet. In the future, the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup became the main dish of Hua Xia's state banquets. When foreign guests came to visit, this dish would definitely be served. Even the imperial court officials could not bear to eat it. They would keep these delicacies to entertain foreign guests and let them experience the charm of the Hua Xia's Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup. It would reflect Hua Xia's friendliness and sincerity towards foreign guests. From then on, they would be able to make more good friends.
Ang Lee's newly developed Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup was still in the experimental stage. He had not eaten enough of it, so naturally, he did not tell anyone the secret of this dish. Even the Emperor in the palace could not eat such a delicious dish. Guo Ziyi was really lucky this time to be able to eat such a delicious dish. In addition, Ang Lee knew that Guo Ziyi would definitely not be able to learn it. Therefore, he did not mind letting Guo Ziyi watch him cook. It was impossible for Guo Ziyi to remember the steps or even the ingredients. For such a delicious dish, if there was any mistake in the steps or ingredients, the taste would be very different. Even the length of the stewing time and the intensity of the heat were very particular. They could not be mistaken at all. As long as there was a slight difference, it would be a huge mistake.
As Guo Ziyi had been thinking about the Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup, even though lunch was very sumptuous, he did not eat too much. He was only about seventy percent full! This fellow had made up his mind to eat more of the delicious Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup at night. Because the amount of this dish was relatively large, even if Guo Ziyi and Ang Lee were to burst their stomachs, they still wouldn't be able to finish it.
After lunch, Guo Ziyi requested to visit the R&D Center. He only had the opportunity to return to Chang 'an once a year, so he naturally wanted to learn more about the things he was interested in. As a general, he was very interested in the various machines developed by Ang Lee, which was enough to show how interesting the machines developed by Ang Lee were. It actually aroused Guo Ziyi's interest.
"General Guo, what kind of machine do you want to see? Tell me first so that I can arrange it."
Ang Lee asked.
Guo Ziyi thought for a moment and said, "Any kind of machine is fine. I want to see them all. Oh right, are there any new weapons? Something even better and more powerful. "
Ang Lee said, "Alright! I have nothing to do today. Why don't I accompany you to take a look? To be honest, because I came back this year, the R&D Center has made a lot of progress. The improvement of various machines has been greatly accelerated. As for the new weapons, they have also made a lot of progress. At least, the cannons developed in the new phase are lighter and more durable than the ones you used before. The range and power have been greatly improved, and the precision has also improved. However, at the same time, the requirements for the soldiers are also higher. Without three to five months of training, the soldiers won't be able to master the operating techniques. If they want to display the precision of the design, I'm afraid that they will need to train for two to three years. "
Since ancient times, the artillery had been a technical troop. They needed to go through strict and long training to master the techniques and shoot more accurately. If they did not go through strict training, the artillery would not be able to complete the fixed combat mission.
The accuracy of the cannons had a lot to do with training. The so-called genius cannoneers were all trained. Without training, how could they be trained to be accurate cannoneers? It was impossible. The more advanced and complex the cannon, the higher the requirements for training, and the harder it was to master.
The artillery of the modern era referred to cannons, while the artillery of the ancient era referred to catapults and other projectile weapons. This could also be considered a type of cannon, but the requirements for skill were also higher. Without training, it would not be easy to throw the stones to the required location. Even if the accuracy was not satisfactory, it was still a very powerful weapon for siege and defense. Without such a weapon, the siege side would have to pay a very high price.
"Haha! There's even better cannons! This is great! When will our Shuofang Army be equipped with them? "
Guo Ziyi became excited when he heard this and said happily.
Ang Lee smiled and said, "What's the rush, General Guo? They've just been developed, and the court hasn't said anything about mass production yet. There's no need to talk about equipping your Shuofang Army. "
"Since you've developed better weapons, why not mass produce them? What are you waiting for?"
Guo Ziyi asked anxiously.
Li An explained, "Lao Guo, it's not that simple. The Imperial Court now needed to spend money everywhere, such as large-scale construction, research and development of new machines, and the Ten Thousand Mile Telepathy Plan. Which of these didn't cost a lot? Although the Imperial Court's income was high, it was limited. Also, the resources were limited. There had to be a hierarchy of priorities! Now, His Majesty is eager to make progress on the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan, so all the resources are going to this plan. How can there be more funds to mass produce weapons? Besides, weapons are not what the Tang dynasty urgently needs. The Tang dynasty's lions in all directions are enough to deal with the situation, isn't it? "
This was not nonsense. The court did need to spend money everywhere. No matter how much money they had, it was not enough for investment. Therefore, they had to make choices and spend every penny on the right things, such as the Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Plan. Although the cannons were very powerful, the Tang dynasty was not in a difficult battle with any enemy, so the need for weapons was not urgent. This was the main reason why it was gradually difficult to get the approval of the court for new weapons. However, the court could generally approve the research and development of weapons. They could just research and develop them first and put them aside. When needed, they could mass produce them at any time. This was the best and most convenient way.
"You're right, but we should at least make less of them! At least let our soldiers familiarize themselves with them first and let the officers and soldiers enjoy themselves. "
Guo Ziyi said.
Although Lao Guo also knew that weapons were not the most urgent thing in the Tang dynasty, he was a general and always hoped that his troops could have more powerful fighting power so that they could defeat the enemy more easily. This was the common dream of all generals, and Guo Ziyi was not the only one who thought so. There was no problem.
In addition, in the early days, every military town was equipped with front cannons, which were very troublesome to use and their attack frequency was very low. But later, when they were replaced with rear cannons, the fighting efficiency was greatly improved, which made the generals very excited. The front cannons were used to train the recruits and were not eliminated. Unless they were broken, they would be transported back to the capital and recast. With these materials, more advanced cannons could be made.
"Lao Guo! The new cannons were very light and didn't require any horses or mules. Moreover, they could be dismantled. Even if they encountered a mountain, they could still climb over it. However, they needed more soldiers. Two soldiers were needed for each wheel, two soldiers for each cannon barrel and two soldiers for each cannon mount. They also needed some soldiers to carry the ammunition. It was estimated that they would need ten soldiers, which was double the number of soldiers with mules and horses! You'll see it later. Don't worry. "
Ang Lee said. The cannon was just finished last month. It was built by Ang Lee according to the idea of modularization. It was also made of the newly developed high-strength and high-toughness steel material, which could make the gun barrel thinner and launch more powerful shells, which satisfied Ang Lee quite.
Since it was developed, Ang Lee had only gone to the test site to see the test firing once. This time, he took Guo Ziyi to see it, so that he could be more familiar with it and see how he could improve it in the future. After all, science was endless, and research and development would never stop. There was no best, only better.
The R&D Center was not far from Ang Lee's residence, but the area of the R&D Center was much larger than Ang Lee's mansion. Moreover, there was a need for further expansion. They even had branches. In the future, they would even build R&D centers in other cities. After all, they could not put everything in the capital city. Now, there was a R&D branch in Luoyang, which was mainly responsible for the research of ships. The samples produced could smoothly pass through the Grand Canal and enter the main rivers in the lobby. There was also a R&D unit further away by the sea, which was responsible for the construction and research of ships. However, most of the R&D projects and units were in Chang 'an. Once there was a problem, Ang Lee could solve it in time. Problems in distant places were much more troublesome.
"General Guo, we've arrived. In front of us is the test firing range. All the newly developed cannons will be tested here. There is no man's land around here, so you don't have to worry about the cannons hurting people."
Ang Lee said as he got out of the car. He immediately waved his hand and asked the relevant personnel on duty to prepare the cannons and bring them to the test firing range.
When the cannons were pushed out, Guo Ziyi looked at the cannons in surprise. He was very excited. The cannons looked much more advanced than the ones used by the Shuo Fang Army. It was obvious from the appearance.
"The barrel is so thin. Will it really not be damaged?"
Guo Ziyi looked at the new cannons in surprise and said excitedly.
"Of course not. This steel is much stronger than the previous steel. It definitely won't be damaged. You don't have to worry about that. Although it is thin, when the cannons fire, the cannon mount will not move around. The accuracy of the shots is very guaranteed."
Ang Lee said and asked the personnel in charge of the experiment to prepare immediately.
The experimental personnel immediately placed the straw men and straw horses into the target area. This way, they could really test the accuracy and power of the new cannons.
In just 15 minutes, the experimental personnel had everything ready. They were just waiting for the experiment to start.
"Assistant Minister Li, everything is ready. We can start the experiment at any time. Please step back to the safe area, Assistant Minister Li."
The personnel in charge reported.
Ang Lee nodded with satisfaction and walked behind the sandbags with Old Guo. This place was absolutely safe. Even if the cannons exploded, Ang Lee and the others would not be hurt. Moreover, the distance was quite far. They would be fine even if there were no sandbags.
Guo Ziyi sighed and waited nervously for the cannons to fire. The experimental personnel carefully adjusted the professional optical equipment, preparing to get a good result for Ang Lee and Guo Ziyi's inspection.
After all the parameters were adjusted, the first shot was fired. The cannon roared towards the target and exploded in the middle of the group of targets. Then, the second shot exploded in the middle of the group of targets, followed by the third, fourth, and fifth. The firing speed of the cannon was very fast, much faster than the breech cannons of the Shuo Fang Army. The accuracy of the design was also better, and the power of the cannon seemed to be greater.
"Assistant Minister Li, five rapid shots have been fired. Please check the results, Assistant Minister Li."
The experimental personnel said.
Ang Lee and Guo Ziyi looked at each other and immediately got in the car to the shooting range where the cannons landed. After all, there was a long distance between the shooting range and the landing point of the cannons. It was about a few miles. If they walked, it would take about half an hour. It was not an exaggeration to say that it would take that much time.
The area of the shooting range was relatively large, but there were not many targets placed there. There were a total of twenty-five targets placed in horizontal and vertical rows. The distance between two strawmen was about five or six steps. A small number of strawmen were mounted on horses to test the difference between the lethality of the cannons on infantry and cavalry. Some of the strawmen were even lying on the ground to test the lethality of the cannons on the soldiers lying on the ground.
Guo Ziyi couldn't help but admire the cannonball for being able to hit the target at such a long distance and with such a small target area. He admired the cannoneers for their high accuracy and at the same time, he admired the cannoneers for operating the cannoneers.
"Old Guo! What do you think of the cannons? "
Ang Lee pointed at the craters on the ground and the damaged strawmen and horses on the ground because of the blast wave and asked proudly.
Guo Ziyi was very satisfied and said, "Good, this cannon is good! It's much better than the cannons that our Shuo Fang Army is using now. By the way, I saw that when they were operating the cannons, there was a glass mirror. That must be a telescope! "
"Old Guo, that is called a scope. It is equipped on the cannons to increase the accuracy. They were able to shoot so accurately just now because of that scope. Without it, the cannons would not be so accurate."
Ang Lee introduced.
"Good, good cannon. I must take a few more looks at it. Let's go and see the cannons again."
Guo Ziyi said eagerly.
