My life skills in Daming Liver

The solution Su Ze thought of was "Hell Burner".

The so-called hell burner is a kind of burning ship used by the Dutch in the future naval battle between Spain and the Netherlands.

In this era, naval battles consisted of four methods of warfare-hand-to-hand combat by jumping off the ship, artillery bombardment, burning the ship, and bow bumping.

During the Tuen Mun Naval Battle, the way Daming defeated the Portuguese Navy was to use burning ships.

After the wooden ship full of fuel is ignited, it rushes into the enemy fleet and can ignite other ships.

This trick can be said to have a long history. The most famous case in China is the Battle of Chibi.

Hellburners are different from ordinary burning ships.

This kind of ship is filled with gunpowder, and the gunpowder is pressed down with a big rock, and the timing device is used to set the explosion time. As long as it explodes close to the enemy, it can cause huge damage to the enemy.

This kind of burning ship first appeared in the naval battle between Spain and the Netherlands. Two "Hell Burners" filled with explosives floated into the Spanish fleet downwind. The huge explosion sent the Spanish barrier wooden ship into the sky at once, a huge The explosion terrified the Spaniards.

Later, the craftsmen who made the Hellburner fled to England. During the British-Spanish naval battle, Britain also sent "Hellburner" to scare Spain away.

Changningwei's dock can build fast boats.

For gunpowder, Changningwei took over Yanpingwei's gunpowder bureau, and now there is a large amount of gunpowder in the new workshop outside Changningwei.

Delayed ignition device, two kinds of time-delayed explosive devices used by the Dutch, one is a long fuze to measure the time, and the other is a custom-made watch mechanism.

The former is a large matchlock, as long as the ignition time is calculated.

The latter is regarded as a high-tech of this era, but there is also a clock device on the New World, Su Ze can try to disassemble and manufacture it.

At this time, there were only my grandfather, Lin Xianzong, and Lin Mojun on the table. Su Ze told everyone about the design of "Hell Burner", and everyone's eyes lit up.

Lin Xianzong also built a fire attack ship. It seems that it is not difficult to build a fire attack ship filled with gunpowder?

Everyone has also seen the power of artillery. What power would it be if a ship of gunpowder exploded?

Lin Mojun's eyes widened. In this way, there is really hope for revenge?

Su Ze continued: "Know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle. Our biggest advantage over King Lu is that we are in the dark and they are in the light."

"Hundred households, the size of King Lu's fleet, the characteristics of the ships, and the tactics of naval warfare, these are all important information."

"Every time King Deer fights, more information will be exposed, and he knows nothing about us."

"Only by collecting more information about his fleet can we formulate more effective tactics."

Lin Mojun nodded and said, "I'm going to find a way to collect the combat information of King Lu."

The moon feast was full of surprises, and the battle method proposed by Su Ze immediately made Changningwei's dock busy.

The burning ship doesn't need to be too big, a merchant ship with 100 materials is enough, and Changningwei's dock still has some materials in stock.

The New World is a large merchant ship with a draft of 400 tons, and a lot of wood can also be dismantled. Although Su Ze is a bit reluctant, but now is the critical time to deal with King Lu. Of course, it must be dismantled first.

Without the development in the early stage, how can we talk about the late stage, and as long as we can defeat King Lu, there will be no shortage of ships in East Asia and Southeast Asia.

There are a large number of virgin forests in Penghu and Southeast Asia, and there are shipyards built by Europeans in Manila and Malacca.

Lin Mojun went to inquire about information, the shipyard was running at full speed, and Su Ze also brushed up his skills.

The battle is approaching, one more skill, one more attribute point, one more chance to save one's life.

The first is water conservancy skills. Su Ze went to Beishan Village first, and guided the Chen family of Beishan Village to build water conservancy.

Then Su Ze went to the farm of Sun Dian's historian and helped him renovate the irrigation facilities.

With the advancement of the project, Su Ze's water conservancy skills finally reached Lv5.

The system beeps:

[The skill 'Water Conservancy' breaks through Lv5, please choose a passive skill! 】

Three rays of light flashed, one blue and two green. These three passive skills are:

[Blue Passive - Bind to the Canglong as a loom: build a water-powered mechanical device, water conservancy skills +2. 】

[Green Passive—Leading the Flood Dragon with Strong Stones: When constructing flood control water conservancy facilities, water conservancy skills +1. 】

[Green Passive—Holding a strong shield to block sea turtles: When building water conservancy facilities to prevent tides and disasters at the seaside, water conservancy skills +1. 】

This time I really chose with my eyes closed, and Su Ze immediately chose the first blue skill.

Last time, Su Ze planned to use the turbulent water flow of Jianxi to build a water-driven workshop.

If the skill level is not high enough, he can only give up in the end.

Jianxi also flows through the mine pits in the middle reaches, and Su Ze can build hydraulic installations in places with turbulent water flows in the middle reaches.

Before the invention of the steam engine, Britain had built many textile mills driven by water power, not to mention the treasure in the field of forging such as hydraulic hammers.

Although water power also has various shortcomings, it is not as omnipotent as most time-traveling novels write, but before the stable steam energy is used, water power is indeed a resource that can save manpower.

In Changningwei, where manpower is scarce, all this is even more important.

[The remaining free attributes are not assigned. 】

Su Ze temporarily saved the attribute points and waited for the situation to be redistributed.

Just after upgrading the "Water Conservancy" skill to Lv5, Su Ze found Captain Alfonso and Priest Pierre non-stop, trying to upgrade the two skills "French" and "Portuguese" to Lv5.

These days, Pastor Pierre has become very interested in the shoelace theorem taught by Professor Su Ze to the children, and writes and calculates in his room every day.

When Su Ze opened the door and came in, Pastor Pierre was still deriving the formula. Su Ze waited for him to finish writing the formula. The old pastor stood up in surprise and said: "The method of genius! My God! There is such a delicate geometry in this world!" study!"

Speaking of geometry, Su Ze suddenly thought of something, and he asked the old pastor in French:

"Pastor Pierre, do you know "Elements of Geometry"?"

The old pastor said: "Of course I know! This is a great book! I loved this book the most when I was studying in the seminary!"

"Is this book available in East Asia?"

Pierre frowned and said, "Maybe it can be bought in the market in Malacca? Some missionaries who come to the East will also carry this book."

"Can missionaries read Elements?"

"Of course, God doesn't forbid mathematics."

Only then did Su Ze recall that Xu Guangqi and the missionary Matteo Ricci translated "The Elements of Geometry".

Su Ze is going to write elementary school textbooks. In addition to literacy and basic principles, Su Ze also plans to incorporate basic mathematics content into this textbook.

Su Ze is also planning to incorporate some content from "Elements of Geometry" to introduce some basic mathematical knowledge to children.

In addition to mathematics, basic knowledge of physics and chemistry is also prepared by Su Ze to be included in the textbook.

"Father, can you help me find a way to buy a geometry book? I want to translate this book into Chinese."

Pierre thought for a while and said, "The bishop of Macau, Saint Seth, is also a mathematics lover. When he arrives in Macau in the future, I can ask you if he brought this book to the East."

Pierre had his own mind.

When missionaries like Pierre came to the East, apart from providing faith to the sailors on board, their main purpose was to preach.

It is difficult for modern people to understand the missionary enthusiasm of Westerners at that time, but religion is an important axis affecting Western history. Many wars that occurred in Europe during this era had religious factors at their root.

According to the "Guardian Right" issued by the Pope to Italy, Portugal enjoys the missionary privileges of the East, which is why Pierre, a French priest, wants to board a Portuguese merchant ship.

However, Pierre also tried to preach to the businessmen of Ming Dynasty, but he soon discovered that the people of Ming Dynasty were not enthusiastic about faith.

It's the same in Changningwei. Pierre can't understand the language. He tried to teach Su Ze's "knight attendant" Xiong Wu, but Xiong Wu counter-brainwashed him with a set of religious theories that Pierre couldn't understand.

So far, Pierre still has many questions from Xiong Wu in his mind, no! These questions cannot be pondered carefully, for pondering carefully is blasphemy to God!

In Pierre's world view, Changning Guard has two knight masters, Su and Lin, two just knights, who jointly rule the manor.

Su Ze has no interest in Pierre's preaching, but he is very interested in Western technology.

Pierre thinks this is an opportunity, even if it is technology, it can also be integrated into private goods!

Although "Elements of Geometry" is a mathematics book, it can also incorporate some church content. When Pierre was studying in the seminary, the professor used "Elements of Geometry" to explain his belief in God.

Pierre immediately said: "Su, I am willing to assist you in translating "Elements of Geometry"."

Su Ze originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that translating with Pierre might improve his French skills, he nodded and agreed.

The two had their own thoughts, and Su Ze looked at the French skill Lv4, 478/480 experience, and there was only a little left!

Mathematics has been discussed almost, and skills cannot be improved without new vocabulary. Su Ze thought about it and could only inquire about the situation in Europe.

"Britain? The king of England is a cowardly and sick child, and now the power is in the hands of the regent! If you want me to say, it is better to ask Princess Mary to inherit the throne, she is much better than her brother!"

Princess Mary?

Only then did Su Ze recall that Pierre left Europe in 1552, when the King of England was Edward VI.

Edward VI is not famous, and his father Henry VIII is also a historical celebrity, but Su Ze's knowledge of world history is average, and he only knows that he is a key figure in promoting British Protestantism.

However, this Princess Mary is very famous. The famous horror story "Bloody Mary" spread in the West is based on her.

This year is already 1554, and this Bloody Mary should have become the first queen of England.

"Princess Mary? Is it the daughter of Catherine of Aragon? Does Princess Mary have a good reputation?"

Pierre looked at Su Ze in surprise. It doesn't matter that the eastern knight knows French and Portuguese, but how can he even understand the European court?

Catherine of Aragon was a Spanish princess and biological mother of Princess Marie, and a devout Catholic.

In the heart of Pierre, a staunch Catholic believer, France is now very embarrassed.

It is clear that France used to be a stronghold of Catholicism, but the King of France concluded an alliance with the pagan Ottomans, which made the entire French church unable to hold its head up.

The intensified struggle between Catholicism and Protestantism gradually transferred the title of defender of Catholicism to the king of Spain.

Henry VIII, who converted to Protestantism, made England a battlefield between Protestantism and Catholicism.

Therefore, in the eyes of Catholics like Pierre, Edward VI, who still followed his father's Protestant reformation, was not a good king, and Princess Mary, a devout Catholic, was the best heir.

Even in the hearts of the British, Princess Mary is a good heir, and now her reputation is quite good.

After Mary succeeded to the throne and killed 300 Protestants, she was named Bloody Mary by British historians, and even became an urban legend widely spread in Europe.

Su Ze just wanted to laugh, how bloody would it be after killing 300 people? The atrocities committed by the Spaniards in South America, and the atrocities committed by the British, French, and Americans in North America, isn’t that a river of blood? Should the current King of Spain, Philip II, be called "Philip Bleeding"?

Mary ruled until 1558, and the next came to power was the famous Queen Elizabeth I of England.

As the conversation continued, Pierre went from shock to horror.

Su Ze's understanding of the European situation surprised Pierre, and his deduction about the European situation made Pierre terrified.

Why did a knight in a remote area of ​​the Ming Dynasty point out the contradictions of European countries so sharply? Some of his predictions about the situation in Europe have even been confirmed by the news Pierre received!

Are all the knights of the Ming Dynasty so powerful?

Pierre thinks that Su Ze is capable enough to serve as the Prime Minister of the King of France!

Such a person is actually just the most basic knight of the Ming Dynasty?

Pierre thought of another knight. He had also watched Lin Mojun practice. That young knight was brave and brave. He was not only an outstanding naval general, but also an outstanding army general.

Lin Ke is more suitable to be the commander in chief than those idiot nobles in France!

Are all the knights of the Ming Dynasty so terrifying?

Pierre once came to the East with fanatical religious enthusiasm, but now he is only left with fear. He thought of the God’s Whip that once lashed the West, and he thought that the Ming Dynasty was established by overthrowing the Mongol Empire ( It’s actually not the same thing), now I really feel the horror of this ancient oriental country!

So scary!

Su Ze didn't care about Pierre's mood, and his French skills finally reached Lv5.

[The skill 'French' breaks through Lv5, please choose a passive skill! 】
