Chapter 39: The Three Rings

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Zhao Heng took Shuang and other guards, escorted by Wang Li and thousands of guards, towards the scientific research institute.

The success of the rifle and the Mini cartridge really made him feel very excited.

Because before the development of the rear-loading gun, the rifle and the Mini bullet were already epoch-making top muskets, and they could completely start assembling firearms in large quantities.

This also means that once the firearms unit equipped with rifles is completely formed, then the goal of conquering the world can finally begin to take the first step.

At the very least, you can use the Xiongnu and Baiyue to try the gun first.

"Wait for 10,000 years!"

"Ten thousand years of food!"

……

The procession shuttled through the streets and alleys, and everywhere it passed, the people cheered.

Even many people bowed to Zhao Heng's carriage and expressed their gratitude with the heaviest gifts.

In the past six months, the people of Xianyang and even the entire Daqin can personally experience that their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the continuous establishment of various new factories, paper, steel bar, cement, ceramics, glass, soap, refined salt, soy sauce ...... and other commodities have long been sold by Baqing's caravans throughout Daqin.

Especially in Xianyang City, the emergence of new things such as supermarkets, running water, newspapers, sewers, and four-wheeled carriages has made people's lives much more convenient.

Everyone knows that without this prime minister, they would not have the new life they have now, let alone live such a good life that they dare not think of.

Even many people feel that Zhao Heng is a saint who has descended into the world, and he wants to lead everyone to live a life like a god in the sky.

Because of this, almost every household has established a longevity position for Zhao Heng.

For these overly enthusiastic people, Zhao Heng could only get out of the carriage, stand at the front of the car, and keep waving to the people.

Originally, it was only a quarter of an hour's journey, but after walking for nearly half an hour, Zhao Heng finally came to the scientific research institute.

Without delay, he went straight to the test site of the musket development team.

Soon, he saw Daqin's first rifle.

In appearance, this rifle is not much different from the previously developed arquebus.

But the firing device has changed from a fire arquebus to a flintlock.

The most important thing is that when you look inside from the muzzle, you can clearly see the rifling.

Zhao Heng picked up the gun and felt that the body of the gun was slightly heavy, estimated to be about ten catties.

The reason why it is so heavy is that the barrel is much thicker than the previous arquebus.

There is no way, in order to ensure that the barrel is strong enough and prolongs the service life, it can only be thickened a little.

Zhao Heng first loaded gunpowder and mini bullets from the front, and then pulled the hammer back, only to hear a slight click.

This also means that the internal reeds have been pressed down, and the tail of the hammer is tightly held by a clip connected to the trigger, ready to be fired.

Zhao Heng took a deep breath, and then aimed at the target that was about three hundred meters away.

Bang!

As Zhao Heng pulled the trigger, a muffled sound came out.

At the same time, the hammer that had been held up fell violently, striking hard against the flint.

Almost instantly, a spark burst out.

In the next moment, a Mini bullet shot out at a rapid pace, slicing through the void and piercing the target in an instant.

"Sanhuan, it's not bad!"

Zhao Heng walked to the target and smiled with satisfaction.

The first shot, he didn't miss the target, and he was already very good.

"Gong Zhihui, if the manufacturing department is fully producing, how many of these guns can be produced per month?"

Zhao Heng's gaze looked at a middle-aged researcher and asked.

The middle-aged researcher's name was Gong Hui who, according to his own account, was a descendant of the Gong Yi class, had improved crossbow arrows, and had also studied combo crossbows.

Among all the researchers in the scientific research institute, he has the strongest ability to accept all kinds of new knowledge, and can even draw inferences, and there are often some novel ideas that are not in the books and materials.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Heng not only promoted him to a senior researcher, but also made him the director of the technical department.

"My lord, I have already communicated with the manufacturing department, and if the funds are sufficient, at least a thousand of these muskets and 10,000 rounds of mini ammunition can be produced every month."

Gong Zhihui groaned slightly, and then replied.

"It's not enough, how much money you want, how much I can give you, but you must ensure that at least 3,000 muskets and 30,000 rounds of mini ammunition are produced every month, can you do it?"

Zhao Heng shook his head and said.

He is not short of funds at all now, and with Baqing's caravans, he continues to sell all kinds of new goods to various counties and counties in Daqin, and his current net worth, which is said to be the richest man in Daqin, has no problems.

Moreover, Ba Qing will continue to send a large amount of profits to the Prime Minister's Mansion every month in the future.

If you talk about money alone, it is estimated that even Yingzheng can't compare to him.

"Yes!"

After a brief silence, the public loser team replied affirmatively.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Zhao Heng smiled and nodded.

The most important thing now is to assemble rifles in large quantities so that the firearms unit can be completely formed.

In this case, no matter what he wants to do next, no one will be able to stop him anymore.

Of course, the rifle is only the beginning, and the scientific research institute will continue to develop breech guns, as well as automatic rifles, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, and even mortars, howitzers, and cannons...... And so on heavy weapons.

Zhao Heng didn't stay long, and after taking a newly developed monocular from the scientific research institute, he went directly to Xianyang Palace.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers...... Xu Mo, an auspicious woman in Wen County, Hanoi County, asserted that Yingfu was displaced, and the Great Qin disaster was coming! ”

Walking on the way to Xianyang Palace, Zhao Heng suddenly heard the shouts of a newspaper boy in his ears.

The newspaper had been produced by him three months earlier, and each issue of the newspaper would be sent by Baqing's caravan to the counties and even the villages.

"Xu Mo negative?"

Zhao Heng's eyes condensed slightly, if he remembered correctly, Xu Mozhi should be the female physiognomist in history who was as famous as Yuan Tiangang and Liu Bowen, right?

It is said that this female physiognomy was very strange when she was born, and she was born with a jade.

When Ying Zheng learned of this, he regarded her as auspicious and gave her father a gold hundred yi to support his daughter.

As the commander of Wencheng County, Hanoi County, Xu Wang did not expect that he gave birth to a daughter, and he could actually be rewarded by His Majesty the First Emperor, so he specially named his daughter "Mo Negative", which means the Long Grace of His Majesty.

After the news spread, many people came from far and wide to watch the auspicious woman.

Then, something even stranger happened.

After Xu Mocheng saw these people, sometimes he would cry incessantly, and sometimes he would laugh constantly.

At first, people didn't think it was anything strange and thought it was normal for babies to cry and laugh.

However, it was not long before it was discovered that all those who wept incessantly were convicted of bad luck, sudden illness, frequent family changes, or broken laws.

And those who smile frequently are happy events, either to attract wealth and treasure, or to rise in rank.

So, people finally understood that this auspicious girl was born with the ability to look at people's faces.

ps: Thank you for the reward from the "ZT, sinner" boss!
