My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 213 Changing History
Looking at the thick stack of process flow charts, Li Han smacked his lips. Wow, for Daming, to realize this set of assembly lines, it can be called a huge super project, which is tantamount to a huge challenge.

However, once it can be realized, it will be a huge leap forward for the industry of Ming Dynasty. Apart from anything else, once Ming Dynasty masters the technology of seamless steel pipes, then in the future, all kinds of cannons and howitzers will just be a matter of design.

Moreover, if the 56 semi-automatic rifle can be successfully put into production, the Ming Dynasty will be truly invincible in the world. For those foreign countries that are still in the era of firearms, it will be an absolute dimensionality reduction blow!

Not to mention that in many barbaric lands, even metal has not been used yet.

Well, gunboats can also be arranged by then.

The so-called sea power, if there are no strong ships and powerful guns, can it be called sea power? Besides, which man doesn’t have the dream of a giant gunboat?
As for missile destroyers, well... this is still a bit too far-fetched.

He carefully packed up the production flow chart, then took out Zhu Yuanzhang's reply letter and read it carefully.

Reading Zhu Yuanzhang's reply was truly the happiest moment for me. It was really expected that Zhu Yuanzhang would fall in love with drinking Moutai.

Although Li Han himself does not drink, he knows the current wine-making technology and can extract impurities from the original wine. He also has his own exclusive brewing secret recipe, which can give the wine a unique taste.

Moreover, unlike the previous wines which were bitter and difficult to swallow, and also gave people severe headaches, today's high-end liquors, while maintaining a high alcohol content, are smooth on the palate and do not burn the brain.

I'll buy some wine for Lao Zhu later. He has given me so many precious jewellery, so it's only natural that he should give me a few boxes of wine in return.

Nowadays, alcohol is also mass-produced in Ming Dynasty, and the accompanying sweet potato cake is also popular among the people. This may become a new industry. It's really good news.

Then, his eyes widened. Wait, was that box of Coke that disappeared inexplicably really sent to Ming Dynasty by him?

I didn’t expect that the taste of Coke is quite popular among them. In that case, can a series of carbonated drinks such as the President’s Happy Water be arranged?
Or milk tea or fruit drink?

Well, you can’t make random associations, otherwise your thoughts will get out of control.

Li Han continued reading, and when he saw that the bullets of the Ming fleet became damp and could not be fired while sailing, he suddenly felt that he was quite foresighted.

It was a good time to send the flow chart to Lao Zhu, and it was the right time to produce 56 and a half.

As for the problem of the fleet getting lost, Li Han began to take it seriously.

Before this, he had never thought about this problem.

Influenced by Zheng He's voyages to the West, Li Han believed that the Ming Dynasty's navigation technology was the pinnacle of the Chinese imperial era. But now he found that he had taken it for granted. He had artificially created an information cocoon for himself.

The navigation technology of Zhu Di's era also began with Zheng He's first voyage. It relied on previous nautical charts and was accumulated after countless times of being lost, rather than being so advanced at the beginning.

As for the maritime navigation technology in the Zhu Yuanzhang era, it is difficult to describe in a few words.

The only navigation tool they relied on was a simple star-gazing plate, and they navigated by relying on the star-gazing technique. Although the principle of this navigation method was the same as modern astronomical navigation, the actual effect was far worse.

And once you encounter a rainy day with no sun or stars, you will be blind. Although there are tools such as compasses and needlework maps to assist navigation, their role is also very limited. In the absence of experience, getting lost is almost commonplace.

Moreover, during the Age of Exploration, the discovery and formulation of routes were accumulated on the basis of countless ships getting lost or even disappearing forever.

Although I gave Lao Zhu a detailed nautical chart a long time ago, the nautical chart alone is not enough.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to go on a long voyage, the navigation problem must be solved!
So apart from modern equipment such as Beidou, gyroscope, and radio, what other equipment is suitable for the existing conditions of the Ming Dynasty?

Li Hang thought about it and suddenly had an idea: sextant!
Although a sextant requires a small telescope to measure the angle between celestial bodies and the horizon to determine its own position, it cannot be manufactured with the current technology of the Ming Dynasty. But you can buy this thing yourself!

After searching online, I found that there are quite a few businesses selling sextants. The most expensive ones are only six or seven thousand yuan, which is not expensive, just a small amount.

I found several local merchants selling sextants on the Internet, and I will go out and buy one after I finish reading the letter.

Then he continued to read on, and he couldn't help but gasp, and even felt a little creepy.

Did Le Qui Ly sideline the Annan King Chen Riwei so quickly?

He studied history and clearly remembered that the reason why Chen Riwei was called the Deposed Emperor of the Chen Dynasty of Annan in history was because he was almost always constrained by Le Qui Ly during his reign.

However, it was not until the 1397s that Le Qui Ly sidelined Chen Riwei. It was not until that Le Qui Ly completely deposed Chen Riwei, ascended the throne himself, established the Ho Dynasty, and then began to confront the Ming Dynasty!

Historically, Le Qui Ly attacked Laos, Chenla and other places in an attempt to establish a unified empire in Southeast Asia, but this move seriously violated the interests of the Ming Dynasty, leading to the Ming Dynasty's massive attack on Annan and the defeat of the Ho Dynasty.

But that was during the Zhu Di era!
But judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's letters, this period of history seems to have been advanced. For Zhu Yuanzhang it was 1384, which means that Li Jili advanced history by almost ten years!
Li Han took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He pondered for a long time before he felt relieved.

This history has long been rewritten by myself!

In the original history, Zhu Yuanzhang was still on the Northern Expedition until 1392, and he never completely controlled the desert. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty in the original history did not know what industry was at all.

The Ming Dynasty of today had already controlled the desert and Goryeo, and had also advanced the world's industrialization process by nearly 500 years. So, what was there to be surprised about if a little historical butterfly flapped its wings and caused a small change in the historical process of Annan?

Anyway, no matter how Annan changes, it is just a chess piece used by the Ming Dynasty to control the geopolitical structure.

Of course, the real geopolitical driving force behind the scenes should be the small boss himself.

Thinking of this, Li Han felt a little proud, and then when he saw the end of the letter, he almost jumped up.

You, Old Zhu, are you taking revenge, you must be taking revenge, just because Old Li is unwilling to kowtow to you and call you father-in-law, so you are taking revenge like this, right?
I didn't expect that you, Old Zhu, are so resentful about your daughter not getting married.

Complaints aside, I, Old Li, still like the jewelry given by Old Zhu. Fairy Li Momo likes it too. However, you really need to change your habit of matchmaking!
