Chapter 698 Firearms and Weapons Research Institute

Everything is going on as usual, the input that should be put in, and the production is carried out.

Until this day, a small yellow door came to report.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there is new news from the Firearms and Weapons Research Institute!"

Just some time ago, when the flintlock gun research reached a certain level, Li Chengqian began to separate the core personnel and classify them into the firearms and weapons research institute, leaving only some core personnel to study the guns.

In order to avoid some unnecessary trouble, so that some confidential things are not known to outsiders.

"The king knows."

After that, Li Chengqian went to the direction of the firearms station alone.

Now is a critical time, if it can really be produced, then Datang will be even stronger in the future.

When he arrived, he was greeted by a man.

"Li Kai, what is the result of the gun?"

Li Kai is a rare smart person in the Li family, and was recruited by Li Chengqian to be the chief manager. He never disappointed Li Chengqian.

Li Kaidao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the first batch has been made, about ten flintlock pistols!" Here is gunpowder and buckshot! ”

The flintlock pistol is the definition given by Li Chengqian, and the flintlock pistol he uses is a mini rifle, and the bullet is buckshot.

Why buckshot? And not iron bullets vs. copper bullets?

That's because lead is too dense to be used as a melee weapon, and the mining and utilization of lead ore is not as simple and practical as iron and copper, so it is most suitable to make ammunition for long-range offensive weapons.

Because it itself is not of great use in other ways, and its great density can also make it easier and faster to load ammunition.

And if you want to use some metals such as iron and copper, which were developed in large quantities at that time, not only will their use in other fields be reduced. Moreover, as a non-recyclable bullet, the use of copper and iron will also be a great burden on the economy at this time.

These are all causes, not for no reason.

Li Kaishun took out a flintlock pistol, and it can be seen that this gun has begun to take the form of a modern rifle.

He was a little excited.

"How far does this rifle go?"

"It has been calculated to be about 100 zhang!"

Li Kai replied.

One zhang is more than three meters, one hundred zhang is about three hundred meters, at that time the range of the bow and arrow was only one or two hundred meters is already the top of the sky, and the weight of the bow and arrow is much higher than the lead bullet, the volume is much higher, it is more affected by the environment, and the quasi-head can not be compared with the bullet at all.

Li Chengqian thought to himself that if there were enough flintlock pistols, then they would be able to run rampant in this era.

Treat all kinds of unconvinced!

"Here, you try its power. Let this king see how powerful it is? ”

Although the flintlock pistol was made, it was necessary to test its power, and this was not a blank promise.

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please move! ”

Li Kai then took ten flintlock pistols to a place not far away, which was the testing ground for testing weapons.

Three hundred meters in front of him, a wooden dummy was placed.

The people around were emptied, and Li Chengqian was watching from some places behind.

But seeing that Li Kai ordered everyone to pull the trigger.

Bang......

Li Kaidao: "Next!" ”

Someone handed another one, because the flintlock pistol was not reloaded like a modern pistol, and it took time to reload.

So Li Kai is going to use ten guns to test its power.

Bang bang......

There was no mute fire in each of the guns.

With ten shots out.

Someone went to check on the details of the dummy.

"Report! Five shots out of ten! ”

The man said.

"Huh?"

Li Chengqian went and checked the dummy, and found that the armor on his body had been punched a few holes.

The impact on each hole is also very large.

These bullets can penetrate thick armor at such a long distance, and they are not bad.

The hit rate is a bit low, only five out of ten, it may be that Li Kai's marksmanship is not good, or it may be that the gun still needs to be debugged and improved, but this is not important.

The important thing is that the flintlock pistol was successfully developed! It's just wonderful.

In this way, his mission can be considered complete.

Sure enough, the system came with a prompt:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task of inventing guns! Reward 100,000 points.

Start task 3: Build 10,000 guns in one month! 200,000 points are awarded. When the time comes, the task is not completed, and the calculation will be re-cleared! After clearing, the reward for the second mission is reduced to 1 tenth, and the mission begins. ”

After swiping it, his points rose by 100,000 points.

The system does not give him any room for negotiation.

It's really interesting, if you can't build 10,000 guns in a month, then you have to start another cycle and build 10,000 guns in a month. This difficulty is not without it.

For the sake of points, everything must be created.

"Li Kai, with the current production capacity, how many guns can be made in a day?"

Li Chengqian had no choice but to ask.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, with the resources we can obtain, a maximum of a hundred a day!"

One hundred a day, only three thousand a month, far less than 10,000.

"What if it was faster?"

"It couldn't be faster, firstly, because people's proficiency is limited, and secondly, we don't have enough minerals to do too much. I'm afraid it will have to be ordered by His Majesty! ”

Li Kai said.

Because guns need some special metal.

"If it is His Majesty's will, then the king will solve it, if all this is settled, can you cause 10,000 guns in a month?"

Li Kai didn't dare to guarantee it, so he could only say, "This ...... Try your best! ”

Li Chengqian is not allowed to use such words as much as possible, as long as it is okay, and if it is not good, it will not be good.

"I don't try, I'm going to ask, can you? An exact answer! ”

Li Kai said again:

"We can expand production, let more people join the production, and if some metal can be solved, it can be made!"

Then, I have to go to Li Shimin to have a good chat, and pretend to be forced by the way.

"Li Kai, you take a gun, and go to the Taiji Palace with this king to see Your Majesty! You've done a great job this time, and you've been rewarded! This king will reward you with 1,000 yuan, and everyone else will have 100 yuan! ”

This is still what Li Chengqian rewarded, and as for Li Shimin, maybe there will be some more.

Li was overjoyed, and nodded frantically in agreement.

Others were even more excited.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"You deserve it! Follow this king in the future, and the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you! ”

Li Chengqian will not be stingy with these people.

deserves no less than others.

"Okay, let's go now, while Your Majesty has just finished going to the morning court and has time!"

"Yes! His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"Come on, get ready for gunpowder and bullets!".

After that, the group went to Taiji Palace.
