Chapter 8: Guest Inventor

  In the later Liu Jiazhai's military classroom, Zhou Yu said with deep emotion: You are the sparks of my Huaxia nation in my heart, and you should know that a single spark can start a prairie fire.

  You should turn sparks into a raging fire, burning all Chinese people's patriotic passion.

  I don't care what your original intentions were for joining our Black Flag Army, but from now on, I will require you to forget the past and focus on the future.

  You have only one goal, for the revival of China, sparing no effort, shedding hot blood and throwing away your heads are all worthwhile.

  You must firmly believe that you are not a mob, you will be the best warriors in the world, you are disciplined and idealistic fighters, you are the proud sons of China with blood.

  I don't want to see any of you with a bewildered look in your eyes, with wavering thoughts, or with an unsteady will.

  If that day comes and I find out that any of you present here have violated the military rules I set, I will give him the most severe punishment without mercy.

  I want to emphasize once again that you must remember: you are the future and hope of the Chinese nation, not warlords or ruffians.

  Do you remember?

  Remember, principal, we are good boys, we will dedicate ourselves to the country. The officers shouted loudly, their expressions serious and determined.

  Good! This is the spiritual outlook that our Chinese military personnel should have. I hope you can also cultivate your subordinates into knowledgeable and believing future elite soldiers of China, can you?

  Got it! Principal, we won't let you down!

  Zhou Yu's explanation gave the troops a goal to strive for, a sense of humiliation and a sense of right and wrong.

  After he left, the troops were rejuvenated and radiated a vibrant vitality.

  After returning, he plunged into the laboratory and started his guest work - doing chemical experiments to prepare for his European and American trip.

  Zhou Yu's next task is to invent new products, write teaching materials for the classroom and technical training books. The task is still quite heavy, but he knows that these are things he must do himself, as others cannot do them.

  During this period, Zhou Yu also converted armed merchant ships into experimental ships for the navy and met with elite talents from various industries, bringing out a large number of apprentices.

  The armed merchant ship was originally owned by the Zhongyong Army, and after being modified by Zhou Yu, it was provided to Zhang Long's naval fleet for use with their experimental ships.

  The trial ship was very small, with a displacement of about 100 tons, mainly for everyone to adapt to the ocean.

  He then demonstrated the future naval combat method to Zhang Long and others on the spot, requiring Zhang Long to follow his own written naval operational guidelines for standardized operations.

  Although there were no big guns on the ship, Zhou Yu insisted that they conduct simulated exercises with blank shells, not afraid to waste money and goods, as experience was more important.

  Zhou Yu had a detailed conversation with the mechanics, carpenters, blacksmiths and technicians.

  In this era where everything is inferior except for reading, which is superior, these skilled craftsmen have an exceptionally low social status and belong to the lower class of society.

  However, from Zhou Yu's attitude towards himself and others, as well as his dedication, they saw Zhou Yu's respect and understanding for craftsmen, and he also taught them some techniques that were unimaginable to them.

  For example, cross two iron bars to make a circular ruler and draw a very standard circle. Use a one-meter long wooden stick to measure the land.

  Zhao Hu is just one of the people, Zhao Hu's ancestral home is Hebei Province, he is a hereditary blacksmith and skilled craftsman, and later became a senior mechanical engineer in Zhou Yu's army.

  This blacksmith who had only studied in a private school for a few days, after being influenced by Zhou Yu's powerful post-mortem technical theory and his own persistent efforts.

  Finally, a gun body with self-tightening and active recoil was created to solve the problems of insufficient strength, short life and large recoil.

  It is a major key technology for artillery, with its help the power of artillery is more powerful, and the length of the barrel is much shorter than before, making the movement and adjustment of artillery more convenient and faster.

  This issue was even forgotten by Zhou Yu himself, and it wasn't until Zhao Hu invented it later that he realized he had forgotten this technology. Fortunately, Zhao Hu's invention came early, otherwise the mass production of large-caliber artillery in the later period would have caused immeasurable economic losses to the Zhouyu Group.

  Firstly, Zhou Yu explained to them what mechanical is and why the ancient Chinese treasured sword Gan Jiang Mo Ye was able to cut hair like mud.

  Because these treasured swords were forged from special materials, they went through high-temperature firing and repeated hammering with an iron mallet to remove impurities from the iron, increasing the purity of the treasured sword. This was the primitive steel material in early times.

  The steel material now is scientifically called carbon steel, which contains a certain proportion of carbon elements and other impurities. When the impurities and iron in the steel reach a certain scientific ratio, it will make the steel tough and durable.

  Zhou Yu also sent each of them a copy of the periodic table of chemical elements for their study and theoretical reference.

  Afterwards, Zhou Yu also explained a lot of scientific knowledge about carpentry, blacksmithing, and craftsmanship to them, so that their labor had theoretical reference materials, and was no longer blindly relying on technical experience. As a result, they avoided many detours in their future work and experiments.

  Later, these craftsmen proudly called Zhou Yu our teacher.

  When there was nothing to do, a group of military officers led by Liu Chengliang also came to the laboratory like curious babies, under the name of "visiting and learning".

  Zhou Yu's inner monologue: What a load of nonsense, this so-called "study tour" is just a troublemaker. As soon as he arrives at the lab, it's like a chicken and dog running around, no peace can be found.

  Until one time, Zhou Yu was experimenting with adhesives when Liu Chengliang unexpectedly glued a small officer to the stool. Later, it was Tian Ergou who sent someone to buy materials and made

  Just solved the problem.

  Angry Zhou Yu kicked out all the onlookers and his experiment could continue.

  And our comrade Tian Ergou was also troubled by Zhou Yu's absurd behavior.

  Mr. Zhou gives Tian Ergou a large number of tasks every day, including drawings, Chinese characters, foreign languages, and many strange and peculiar things and materials for him to arrange for someone to buy back and use.

  It was from Zhou Yu's experiment that he discovered Zhou Yu's unique and extraordinary characteristics.

  Sometimes he would find that Zhou Yu had not slept for several days and nights, sometimes the laboratory would emit strange noises, sometimes a pungent fragrance would waft out, and sometimes a wave of nauseating stench would emanate from it.

  Sometimes he found Mr. Zhou with a smile on his face, sometimes he found Mr. Zhou with a worried look.

  Tian Ergou was in a state of distress, and he would often indulge in wild flights of fancy for no reason at all. Ah! Mr. Zhou is indeed a godlike figure, who understands everything!

  Is Mr. Zhou crazy? How can he have such good energy without eating, drinking or sleeping?

  Alas! Can't understand! In his heart, Zou Yu is becoming more and more mysterious.

  In Tian Ergou's heart, Zhou Yu was filled with gratitude and admiration. Zhou Yu gave him opportunities and knowledge, but more importantly, he gave him strength and hope.

  Before that, he was an ordinary garrison soldier in the Black Flag Army and had never even held a gun. But after getting to know Zhou Yu, his life underwent a complete transformation.

  In name, he was Zhou Yu's bodyguard, but in reality, he was Zhou Yu's personal attendant and brother. The officers and soldiers of the Zhongyong Army had an exceptionally polite and respectful attitude towards him.

  He knew that everyone was just giving face to Zhou Yu, rather than being won over by Tian Ergou's personal charm.

  This is not the most important thing, what's more important is that he learned a lot of scientific knowledge from Zhou Yu.

  His vision was broadened, he felt that he had never been so fulfilled before. Sometimes, his unintentional words would make the other members of the Zhongyong Army sigh with admiration for his profound knowledge.

  Tian Ergou was like a dry sponge, absorbing with all his might the advanced culture that Zhou Yu was pouring into him.

  It was actually Zhou Yu who had been instilling those ideas into Tian Ergou intentionally or unintentionally over time.

  The vast number of grassroots officers and soldiers of the Zhongyong Army all sighed that Tian Ergou had a good life, saying that Tian Ergou had become a good official.

  After a long time, one day Mr. Zhou walked out of the laboratory with a smile on his face, "Alright, let's set off!"

  So what did our pig's feet do? It turned out to be:

  Zhou Yu's mind was filled with knowledge from the future, and even he himself didn't know how he came to possess so much information that he had never learned before. He could only attribute it to his intelligent brain (which indeed had recorded the Earth section of the Wisdom Brain's memory). He invented and created some things from the future, including:

  1. The main components of 'Rejoice Shampoo' are: Disodium EDTA, Sodium Hydroxide, Fragrance, etc.

  In fact, Zhou Yu's invention of shampoo was only slightly more advanced than the hair conditioner of later generations, but in this era, it was a remarkable achievement.

  It's not that Zhou Yu didn't want to make a better shampoo, it's just that Vietnam's natural conditions are too poor, and even the most skilled housewife can't cook without rice!

  2. The main ingredients of L'Oréal's "Hair Dye" are:

  A agent: deionized water, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, fragrance, etc.

  B: sodium bromate, hydrogenated cottonseed oil, fragrance, etc.

  Some people with common sense know that at that time, without heating tools, people who wanted to change their hairstyle had only one way to go, and Zhou Yu's invention of hair perm solution belonged to the non-heating cold perm series.

  It mainly relies on Ammonia in Agent A to break the disulfide bonds of hair.

  By adjusting the size of hair curl with tools such as wooden sticks or plastic sticks, and then using a neutralizer to restore and set the shape of the changed hair, it is possible to achieve a permanent curly hairstyle.

  The straight hair gel that is opposite to the perm lotion, Zhou Yu also came up with it. The hair is all curled up, and after a long time, there will be times when you get tired of it!

  Hair straightening cream - as the name suggests, it's a hair straightening cream!
