After Shangwen read the memorial, he got in the car and came to Qin Palace. Zhao Gao led the way and Shangwen followed.

When entering a main hall, Shangwen saw King Qin eating something. It must be a midnight snack. It was already very late. Shangwen thought so. When Shangwen walked in, he was startled. It was an ancient legendary elixir.

Naofumi felt that he didn't know what to say or what to do for a moment. Historically, it was rumored that Qin Shihuang died after taking elixirs. The main ingredient of this kind of thing was metallic mercury. To put it bluntly, it was also the ingredient of the earliest cosmetics.

.It just has a temporary effect. As for the ingredients of other elixirs, it is still unknown. But in summary, these are not good things.

"Mr. Qin is here. Sit down." King Qin saw that he was taking the elixir, so he was not surprised and asked Shangwen to sit down.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to take this elixir," Shang Wen advised.

"Oh. Why?" King Qin said with a relaxed attitude.

"This substance is a heavy metal. If you take it for a long time, it will definitely..." Shang Wen understands that it is a big taboo to say that a person's lifespan will be affected. He will be decapitated.

"What must it be?" King Qin asked.

"It must be harmful to the body. In fact, this is a chemical agent. This secret alchemy technique is just a myth." Naofumi said.

"Oh. So, sir, I have also studied this alchemy technique," King Qin asked.

"Alchemy is just one branch of chemistry." Naofumi answered.

"Chemistry?" King Qin said.

"Yes, chemistry is to use a certain method to change the original material properties of one or several substances. It is called chemistry." At this time, Shangwen could not bring out a thick dictionary to explain to King Qin, so he had to

It’s so particular. Anyway, the meaning is pretty much the same.

"These methods include a variety of methods, such as distillation, dry distillation, dissolution, etc. These all cause chemical reactions to generate a new substance." Naofumi said.

"Oh. Speaking of which, this pill seems to be like this." King Qin suddenly realized.

"Speaking of these substances, the changes are endless, and it takes several generations to discover the secrets. And these substances have different properties and different applications. Just like this glass." Shangwen said, pointing to the glass on the table.

Glass said.

"This is chemistry. Putting in several different substances creates a brand new substance. But this thing is good and bad. Some of them are poisonous or not. It is difficult to determine without long-term testing. Therefore, the king should stop taking these.

Pill." Shangwen persuaded.

"This." King Qin hesitated.

"This elixir contains heavy metals, especially mercury, and the elixir is mercury sulfide. A small amount of this mercury can have certain effects, but long-term use will inevitably cause serious damage. The final symptoms are...

"Naofumi wanted to explain the symptoms of mercury poisoning in detail.

"What?" King Qin asked.

"Insanity, tooth loss, and constant pain in the body's joints. Finally, finally..." Naofumi didn't dare to say any more.

"Wow." King Qin waved his arms and knocked all the elixirs, pens and ink on the table to the ground.

"Come here, pull out all those alchemists and bury them alive." King Qin shouted loudly. Shangwen saw that King Qin was very angry about this. Shangwen couldn't say anything when he saw this. After all, it was better to say less at this time.

"Here." Zhao Gao ran away in a hurry.

After waiting for a long time, King Qin's anger is probably almost gone. Shang Wen also knows that he can't talk nonsense at this time. Besides, King Qin's move is probably to say goodbye to the elixir. Even in modern times, you can't take medicine casually, especially chemical medicines.

.There are no side effects. That’s no wonder. The elements that make up the human body are relatively balanced. If one of them exceeds the standard and breaks the balance, the result will appear sooner or later. It’s just a matter of time.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Qin." King Qin turned around and bowed to Shangwen.

Naofumi didn't dare to say anything more and bowed.

"I will no longer take this elixir from now on." King Qin said in explanation.

Naofumi smiled slightly and nodded.

"Your Majesty, we now have an arms order from the Yan Kingdom, but it is still difficult to meet the current demand." Shangwen continued. Shangwen deliberately changed the subject.

"Oh. How difficult is it?" King Qin asked.

"Gun barrel." Naofumi said bluntly.

"The barrel is very difficult to process. It basically relies on casting, but during casting, bubbles are inevitably produced, causing problems with the entire barrel. Only those casters with high skills can complete these technical requirements. Those castings

The division has to complete the casting of artillery. It is difficult to complete such a large-scale production in a short period of time. Also, our Qin Army also needs to be equipped with this kind of weapon, but according to the current situation of this kind of weapon, I am afraid...

"Naofumi said with some embarrassment.

"What are you afraid of?" King Qin asked.

"I'm afraid, according to the current situation, our equipment will take at least ten years to complete on a large scale." Shangwen's figures come from statistics. The Qin army has almost one million troops in the country, and the standing army is only 300,000.

Up and down. However, according to the current production speed of gun barrels, it is basically a fraction of this number. And the quality

The problem above is also very prominent. From what Wang Ben learned, the barrel began to heat up after several consecutive shots and was unable to shoot. At least the tactical queue temporarily made up for this shortcoming. Moreover, the barrel was

For those with a long service life, replacement and repair require a large number of spare parts. At present, our own production is simply impossible to complete.

"So long." King Qin said.

"Yes." Naofumi nodded and said.

"Then Mr. Qin must have a solution?" King Qin asked rhetorically.

"This, this." Naofumi touched his mouth with his hand.

"This must be solved with technology. According to the current processing technology, it is simply unsatisfactory. I had planned to modify the machine tools the day before yesterday, but the effect was not very obvious and there are still many machines missing. But I am willing to give it a try." Naofumi said. In fact, Naofumi said

I feel that this is the only way to do it. Because many things cannot be accomplished by manpower. First of all, those mature craftsmen. If they rely on continuous craftsmanship to teach them, they will not be able to do it in a short time.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to complete an order of more than 2,000. Now the only way is to improve technology. The problem of gun barrels must be solved. We cannot all six countries equip a large number of muskets. With the export of muskets, the six countries that will benefit will definitely

There will be a large number of imitations. Faced with imitations, the Qin army does not yet have such equipment. It will definitely be severely hit. Such a situation must not happen. The weapons are different by one generation. It is simply a joke.
