Chapter 37 Firearms(2/2)
.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, it was okay to be clean and honest. If there is peace in the future and corrupt officials are rampant, even if we spend ten times the money, we will not be able to create such good things.
When I have some free time, I'll think about flintlock guns and the like!
Zhu Yunxi thought to himself while changing clothes in the side hall.
Those novels I read in my previous life, those plots about becoming an inventor once you travel through time, are obviously nonsense.
Every step of scientific progress is a matter of necessity, and there are no tricks. With the current technological level of the Ming Dynasty, there is still a long way to go to rely on manual production of flintlock guns and rifled cannons.
A gun barrel must be carefully prepared from the material to the smelting and casting, to various components, as well as gunpowder and other materials. If he, the great grandson, just talks about his whims, let the people below do it, and not
Whether it can be done or not, it would be a waste of time and money.
Besides, Zhu Yunxi was also a scumbag in his last life. He had no idea what the formula of black powder was. He served as a soldier for two years and learned how to shoot and exercise, but he was never taught this.
Moreover, gunpowder is widely used in the Ming Dynasty's army. There have long been quotas for what kind of gunpowder can be used for each firearm to exert the greatest power.
Everything of future generations is based on the foundation of predecessors. Except for the perspective of God, those who travel through time are not necessarily much better than the ancients.
Zhu Yunxi changed his clothes and came out, and the Liao brothers held a firecracker and offered it to him.
This thing is as long as one person, and it can be used as a cold weapon. The method of use is similar to that of a cannon. You first load it with gunpowder, then stuff it with lead bullets, compact it, and ignite it at the fire door.
There was a target ten steps away. After loading it, Zhu Yunxi aimed carefully at three points and one line.
When the aim was almost done, Zhu Yunxi gave the order to light the fire!
With a hiss, white smoke came out of the barrel.
There was a bang, and the impact was so strong that Zhu Yunxi almost lost his arm.
Bah! Zhu Yunxi waved his hand to drive away the white smoke in front of his eyes. It was so powerful. This was not a blunderbuss, it was obviously a cannon! As he said that, Zhu Yunxi asked again, "Have you been hit?"
Liao Yong ran over and looked at the target. Your Highness, he didn't hit it!
It has strong recoil and poor accuracy. It is suitable for defending cities and blocking enemy troops in close combat, but it is a bit unreliable at long distances.
Zhu Yunxi remembered this in his mind and charged the gun again.
Your Highness, change the door! Liao Ming changed it to a new one.
Are you afraid of exploding your chest? Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Your Highness is wise! Liao Ming said with a smile, these things made by the Ministry of Industry are really uneven!
There is no unified standard, and weapons made entirely by the proficiency of craftsmen are like this.
The root of reforming weapons is actually to improve productivity.
Your Highness, Your Highness!
Zhu Yunxi was preparing to fire another cannon when he heard someone shouting behind him.
Turning around, Mei Liang, the eunuch beside Concubine Hui, came over in a flattering manner and said with a smile, "I'm here to see you, Your Highness!"
What's wrong with you? Zhu Yunxi asked.
The empress invites Your Highness to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers! Mei Liang said with a smile.
How can viewing flowers be as fun as having sex?
However, Concubine Hui’s face cannot be denied.
The emperor will be there soon! Mei Liangliang added.
Don’t gasp when you talk next time! Zhu Yunxi smiled and scolded, lead the way!
Would you like to change your clothes, Your Highness? The bastard followed behind and whispered a reminder.
Zhu Yunxi looked at himself and saw that he had just changed into a palace uniform. Because he was performing martial arts, he looked simple and did not wear any ornaments.
That's it! Zhu Yunxi said lightly, changing clothes several times a day, it's tiring!
Chapter completed!
