How could it take Da Ming 2 months to build a musket?

"Big brother." Zhu Youzhen, who really couldn't figure it out, couldn't help but ask: "How long does it take for us to make an ordinary musket?" ”

"It takes about 2 days to make an ordinary bird." Zhu Youxiao replied quickly.

Fortunately, I asked a few more questions a few days ago, otherwise I was really stopped by Xiao Wu. Zhu Youxiao was secretly happy in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao was not frustrated by the result of building a gun in 2 months, in his opinion, Xiao Wu had designed it well enough. Of course, good things can't be made quickly.

"Is an ordinary musket a gun made by a craftsman?" Zhu Youzhen asked eagerly to save face.

Daming shouldn't have an assembly line yet, right?

With the division of labor and cooperation of the assembly line, it will not be possible to greatly improve the speed of gun making.

"How is it possible for a man to make a gun?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youzhen with disdain, and Xiao Wu was also confused.

Making a gun is not just a knife, it can't be made by a craftsman.

You have to use a blacksmith to make this barrel, right? You have to use a carpenter to make the gun, right? To build a bolt, even if it is the kind of excitation device, you have to use a special coppersmith.

Alone? How can it be!

In the end, of course, the installation was done by one person.

Zhu Youxiao summarized one by one, and grinned at Zhu Youzhen.

Isn't this a situation that the ancient man-made muskets were all done by one person from beginning to end?

Daming now has an assembly line?

Were the ancients so smart?

Zhu Youzhen was stunned.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's shocked appearance, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but chuckle twice.

No matter how smart Xiao Wu is, after all, he is still young and his experience is not enough. Some basic common sense, Xiao Wu knows too little.

"Big brother, can I go and see our workshop where we make guns?" Zhu Youzhen really couldn't bear the comparison that he was stupider than the ancients.

"Okay." Zhu Youxiao agreed very happily.

It's time for Xiao Wu to go and see the world. In addition to being smart, human wisdom also needs more experience and experience to accumulate. Zhu Youxiao looked at Xiao Wu's too young face and thought to himself.

Zhu Youzhen returned to the Xinwang Mansion with a depressed mood.

Damn, it was despised by the ancients.

The novels of the previous life are really harmful.

"Your Highness, Zhang Yunyi is still waiting for you in the mansion! If it's nothing important, isn't it ......" Wang Chengen asked in a cautious whisper while serving His Royal Highness King Xin to change his clothes.

Zhang Yunyi hasn't left yet?

A big question mark popped up on Zhu Youzhen's head.

Seeing His Royal Highness's surprised expression, Wang Chengen pretended not to see it. His Royal Highness didn't speak, how dare Zhang Yunyi leave casually.

Didn't go, that's fine. The boys don't seem to be counting on the muskets anytime soon. Let's hear what solution that veteran has? After Zhu Youzhen was surprised, he didn't care about it.

"Your Highness, if you want to solve the problem of the junior team, you can only think of equipping them with excellent armor at this stage, and equipping them with more veterans who are skilled in archers and horses. I can't think of any other way for a while. Zhang Yunyi said apologetically.

His Royal Highness King Xin has been away for so long, and Zhang Yunyi has been thinking about the problems left by King Xin.

Squad soldiers fight against each other, and the archers all fire at close distances, and the arrows are more powerful and accurate. The dense and neat array of the junior team was too much to be restrained by such accurate archers. In the event of a clashes, the casualties of the cadets are bound to be heavy. No wonder His Highness cares so much.

According to his experience, Zhang Yunyi repeatedly thought and deduced in his mind, and in the end, he did not come up with a better solution.

Defending against bows and arrows is nothing more than two schemes. One is to make the opponent unable to shoot arrows, then it needs to be suppressed from a distance; If the arrow is fired, it can only be resisted by armor.

At this stage, the junior team wants to fight against the archers, and there is only such a means.

In the same way, Zhu Youzhen also thinks very clearly. He didn't have a better way to do it.

"Yunyi, what is the best armor to use to protect against arrows?" Zhu Youzhen did not dwell on the question of how to prevent arrows, but instead asked about specific measures.

"Your Highness, the best way to defend against arrows is the armor, and the arrows can't penetrate at all. However, the weight of the armor is not light, and it is a little inconvenient to put it on and move. Zhang Yunyi said with a look of reverie.

"Don't talk about what isn't practical." Zhu Youzhen glared at Zhang Yunyi fiercely.

Of course, he knew that the best way to defend against arrows was heavy armor. A 3-layer heavy armor like the Houjin Tartar can even defend against muskets, and it will definitely be able to defend against arrows. But if you really want to get such a heavy armor, how can you move quickly? The Mongol archers do not yet use kite flying tactics against you until they exhaust you.

This protection and lightness are really a natural contradiction. Without the advent of new materials, it is difficult to find armor that combines protection and lightness.

"Your Highness, let's get them cotton armor." Zhang Yunyi was glared at by Zhu Youzhen, so he had to honestly come up with an idea of doing his duty.

"Cotton armor?" Zhu Youzhen groaned.

Thinking that King Xin didn't understand, Zhang Yunyi hurriedly explained: "Cotton armor is made of cotton. A good cotton nail needs to be beaten and pressed repeatedly with 7 catties of cotton, and then lined with iron sheets in the middle. The kind of 1.5 stone strong bow is difficult to shoot through cotton armor from 5 or 60 paces. ”

Not to mention, Zhu Youzhen really didn't know that the cotton armor was actually such a concocted armor. As the name suggests, he thought it was the same thing as a padded jacket.

Cotton alone costs 7 catties, so the whole cotton armor must be at least 10 catties or more, right? It's not easy to wear this weight on your body, right?

In his previous life, it was not easy to cover his body with a 5-pound quilt, let alone more than 10 pounds of armor.

More than 10 catties of cotton armor, about 10 catties of weapons and spears, and more than 20 catties of dry food and bedding, how can a soldier carry about 50 catties.

Tsk, how fast can such a heavy soldier march? Zhu Youzhen suddenly had an idea.

In this way, the army of this era should march slower than those of the merchants. I have made the mistake of empiricism again, and I should not have applied the marching speed of my previous life to this era.

No wonder the march of the cadets caused such a stir. In addition to the neat queue, the speed of the march is also a very shocking factor, right?

Well, the weight of my youth team should only be less than that of a heavily armed soldier, right? How much faster than them?

Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that he really didn't know how fast the march was in this era.

"This, what is the general marching speed of the Yunyi, Daming and Houjin armies?"

"This ......" Zhang Yunyi was a little uncomfortable with King Xin's jumping thinking.

However, this sentence of His Royal Highness King Shin fully shows that His Royal Highness has been thinking about how to deal with the Houjin Tartars.

Discovering this, Zhang Yunyi was greatly excited.

Follow His Highness, maybe he can wait for the day of the Snow Shame Salhu.
