Chapter 16, Section 27 Concerns
As a swordsmith, although he didn't know anything about firearms or anything, his curiosity still urged Ou Yelu to sharpen Jia Jiu for a whole day, and even when Jia Jiu returned to the house and was about to meditate and rest, Ou Yelu was waiting at the door.
Jia Jiu was so worn that he couldn't do anything, and under Ouye's repeated assurances, he handed over another shell gun and a few parts that he used to back up to Ouyeyuan.
With these things, Ou Yelu did not go directly to his house or to the foundry, but came to Qingfeng Stream. Even if it is in the middle of the moon, even if it is the dead of night, but Dao Ling, Dao Kui, Guoshi, and Yan Pianqi are all there, and there is even a clearly visible red mark on Dao Ling's face.
Seeing the red marks on Dao Ling's face, Ou Yelu remembered Jia Jiu's words.
Obviously, Dao Ling personally tested the power of the barge gun, but because of the improper operation, he was accidentally injured.
It was only a matter of a moment for Ou Yelu to be in a daze at Dao Ling's face, but who is Dao Ling? How not to find out that Ouyelu was secretly observing him.
Dao Ling's face immediately turned bad.
Dao Kui immediately spoke: "How?" What did Tong Yunliu say? What is Part Standardization? β
Ou Yeliu said: "Back to Uncle Hui's words, Tong Yunliu said that each of these firearms is made of many parts. The life span of each part is different. Once the parts are standardized, there is no need to throw away the entire firearm, just replace the broken parts with new ones. β
Dao Kui gestured to a few things in front of him.
Ou Yelu recalled the demonstration Jia Jiu gave him, and picked up the shell gun in front of him. Ou Yelu first tried a shot at the stone outside the pavilion. After confirming that the gun was indeed usable right now, you quickly disassembled the gun in his hand into a pile of parts.
Ouyeel picked out a few parts, and then found a few that worked well in the other pile. Assembled little by little. Ou Yelu's memory is very good, he remembers that when Jia Jiu showed him before, the order of each part when it was assembled, and when it was disassembled, the order of each part was clearly imprinted in his mind.
To be able to become a candidate for the silver-clothed Daozi, this memory is naturally there.
It's not very fast, but. Ouyeel did assemble the shell gun in one goβit was the first time he had assembled itβand after assembling it, Ouyeel even tried it again, proving that the newly assembled shell gun could also be used.
See this result. Both Dao Kui and the National Teacher frowned.
After hesitating for a moment, Dao Ling stood up and took the shell gun from Ou Ye's hand. However, he probably found it more difficult to control diagonal shooting. So he put the barge gun up. And before Ouyeel could speak, the trigger was pressed.
As soon as I pressed it, the Dao Ling felt that something was wrong.
When Ouyelu pressed the trigger, he was really impressed by the bullet casings that were thrown backwards.
Dao Ling's body moved, and the bullet casings that flew into his face flashed past him.
If it wasn't for the Dao Ling's quick flashing at that time, maybe his face would have been left with the mark of "visiting here".
Dao Ling looked at the bullet marks left on the rock, then looked at the barge gun in his hand, and turned his head to ask Ou Yeyuan, "This thing." Is it easy to manufacture? β
Ou Yelu replied: "In the words of Tongyunliu, if you do it alone. Even if it were him, it would take him almost a month to complete one of them. β
Dao Ling said: "However, the time for Tongyun to flow into the Sword Casting Valley is not long. β
Ou Yeliu said: "Tong Yunliu said that if other tools are used, the time difference between making one piece and making ten pieces is not very much. Tong Yunliu even said that as long as the materials and equipment are sufficient, it is easy to get 10,000 within three months by using the assembly line, even if there are only 100 people. β
Dao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If I'm not mistaken, Tong Yunliu also said to Wuchenzi and Broken Fengchen before, this thing is the most ordinary crop man, and after three months of training, he will also use it freely." β
"Yes."
Dao Ling was silent for a while, and said, "The stakes are very high, I need to return to the Taishang Mansion." As for whether to report to Shangqing Mountain, it needs to be decided by the two mansions. He also said: "Ou Yelu, since Tong Yunliu can be honest with you, then I don't need to tell you what is going on." β
Ou Yelu sang a word and agreed.
Dao Ling was frightened, not to mention Ou Yeyuan.
On the battlefield, how terrible the rain of guns and arrows is, Ou Yeyuan knows it very well. Compared to the rain of bullets, this thing called bullets is smaller, more hidden, and more difficult to prevent. In the face of a rain of guns and arrows, you can tell with the naked eye. But what about bullets?
There were no stupid people present.
Ou Yelu even felt that he had the responsibility to get all the knowledge about these firearms in Jia Jiu's stomach.
Because he is a candidate for the silver-clothed Daozi.
In fact, when Jia Jiu was questioned by Ou Yeyuan, he looked up at him deeply and said, "Senior brother, I originally thought that you would ask me when I first demonstrated to you the power of the shell gun. β
Ou Yelu opened his mouth, and the last words that came out of his mouth became: "Can I say, I was frightened at that time?" β
Jia Jiu blinked, deciding to leave the question behind.
"I've said before," he says, "the foundry has to be kept clean. It's a must. Because of the clean, dust-free foundry, it is possible to ensure that the castings will not be defective due to dust. Only castings without defects can be machined into standard parts. Only standardized parts can guarantee that the requirements of each location that needs them are met. If there is a problem with the parts, the gun has a dumb fire is still a small matter, if it hurts its own people, or hurts the user itself, it is a big deal. β
Ou Yelu said: "So, what about the bullet casing that flew backwards and almost hit Dao Ling's face?" β
Jia Jiu replied: "I said a long time ago, the design of the barge gun is flawed. β
"Then you still do."
"Because he is the most cost-effective pistol that meets the needs of the moment. If you want to modify the design, not to mention the amount of work. It's just that the cost of more than tripling is enough for me to shake my head. The first requirement of my request for war, which has always been to save money! The court of Great Qi is not generous in terms of ordnance and military salary! β
Ou Yelu looked at Jia Jiu fixedly and said, "So." This thing is still for the imperial court, isn't it? β
Jia Jiu replied, "Yes." When I was at home, drawing drawings under the window, I still had fantasies about the court and the people in that chair. But the truth is, I was slapped hard in the face. β
"Then you're going to make it."
Jia Jiu said: "Yes. I was just. I don't want to live up to my hard work. β
Ouyeyuan was silent.
After a long while, I heard Ou Yeyuan say, "Well, do you know? If these things get in the way of the Dao Gate, their fate will be shelved after all. Even you, the creator, will be grounded. β
Jia Jiu nodded. "I know. I'm well aware. I know how much damage these things will cause to this world, and I know that their final result is likely to be smashed to pieces. Just like salt fertilizer, once it is understood by people, or rather, it will not be long before someone resists it. This whole process will disappear from this world. And I, too, may well be buried for it. That's why I said. I'm in the second year of secondary school. I know that what I did is likely to be wrong, and I know that I am likely to lose my life because of it, but I am still willing to gamble. β
Ou Yeyuan shuddered.
He suddenly understood the meaning of Form 2.
When I first heard these two words, Ouyelu was confused.
The second time I heard these two words, Ouyeyuan was tolerant.
And now, Ouye's heart is only heavy.
It's not so much that this junior sister is in Secondary 2, it's better to say that he is going crazy rationally and soberly into the devil.
With such a heavy reality, Ou Yelu really didn't know why the junior sister in front of him could still laugh.
"Really, really? Is there no way to avoid it? β
Jia Jiu said: "It's not a question of avoiding it or not. Just like the cocoon, the disappearance of the cocoon was accompanied by the brutal land annexation and the countless lives of people who died of starvation because of the land annexation. When I first designed this, in addition to the desire to dominate the world, I also had the goal of helping people who had lost their land to find a livelihood to support their families. The same acre of land, for farming, maybe only one or two people will be enough. But if a workshop is built, it will be able to provide work opportunities for dozens of people, to say the least. Of course, if what is produced cannot be sold, it will naturally not be able to exchange it for enough food, and it will not be possible to feed the artisans and their families. But what else in this world can make money faster than war? If you start a war, if you lose, it will be just a ruin-if the land annexation continues, the Great Qi will sooner or later lose the country--but if the war is won, the magnates and families will be united in resolving disputes because of the large amount of land in front of them, and the people will be able to exchange for enough food because of the large number of guns in the workshop. From beginning to end, it was not me who instigated the chaos in the world, but the current Great Qi needs a war to alleviate all kinds of domestic contradictions. Throughout the history books, there are no longer a few countries that pass on their own countries when they encounter a crisis, and on the contrary, there are no longer a few countries that have caused their own destruction because of their kindness to their enemies. I am a Daqi person, and I don't have so much strength to sympathize with others. β
Jia Jiu has always been a warmonger, and he will never deny it.
"So, Great Qi needs war, and you are ready to face the world, including the Daomen's reproach to you. Is that so? β
A familiar voice sounded behind him, Jia Jiu hurriedly turned around, but saw that the two mansions of Taishang Mansion were standing behind him, and a little farther away, there were Dao Ling, Dao Kui, Guoshi and Yan Pian.
The Earth Limit Daoist said: "Tongyunliu, do you know that if you hold this kind of mentality, you are likely to be haunted by demons because of this, and you will not be able to cultivate an inch from now on. β
Jia Jiu returned the salute and said, "Yes, the disciple knows, but the disciple does not regret it." β
The Earth Limit Daoist said: "So, have you ever thought about what you would do if the old Dao blocked the things you made out of love? β
Jia Jiu replied: "If you go back to Fuzun, even if the Dao Sect has blocked something, the seeds have already been planted. As long as there is a seed, even if the disciple dies, something will still take root and sprout. β
"Oh? Let's hear it. β
"Take salt and fertilizer as an example," Jia Jiu said calmly, "The disciple once said that the disciple has already obtained the two things that the disciple wanted. But in fact, the changes that salt fertilizer has brought to the world are by no means limited to this. Salt fertilizer will be extremely harmful to the land, but the time for this damage to be manifested is long, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years, maybe longer. How long does the average person live? But twenty years is enough time for those officials to change two generations, maybe the first generation of officials can still be cautious, just like the original salt government of my Daqi, but what about the successor officials? The erosion and bloodthirstiness of Yanzheng are obvious to all. When you see that salt fertilizer can bring no less profits than the salt government, do you think those officials will be able to sit still? Or does Daomen have the ability to target the greed and corruption of the entire salt administration system? β
The Heavenly Pole Daoist couldn't help but say, "You have calculated people's hearts? β
Jia Jiu replied: "It's not that the disciple calculates people's hearts, but from the very beginning, the disciple knows that the officialdom of Daqi is not transparent. Now that it is no longer the previous dynasty, it is impossible for a truly virtuous and upright person to leave the officialdom alive. And now those loyal ministers in the court are actually more treacherous and cruel and vicious than traitors. And to compete with such officialdom, Daomen needs absolute financial resources and more hole cards. β
"Do you think that the hole cards of the Daomen are not enough?"
"It's not so much that the hole cards of Daomen are not enough, but that the chips of Daomen are almost in the eyes of others. The hole cards that are seen by others, are they still hole cards? β
The Heavenly Pole Daoist pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Old Dao was almost persuaded by you. β
Jia Jiu said: "The disciple's understanding of the Dao Sect is limited, and the conclusions drawn are inevitably biased. β
The Heavenly Pole Daoist said, "So, can the old Dao think that you are interceding for the future of these firearms?" β
Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "It's not these guns, but the machinery used to process them." β
"Huh?"
Well, Jia Jiu had caused Daomen to have accidents so many times that when he once again denied the speculation of the Heavenly Pole Daoist about him, none of the people present showed any surprise.
Of course, there is nothing surprising about this.
Even more than one silver-clothed Daozi candidate said in his heart: This junior sister has taken great pains to keep his machinery. (To be continued.) )
