I have been with Wei Chunrou for an hour, and I feel that the time is almost up, and Chen Qi is coming soon. Chongzhen got up and continued to draw manual wooden mechanical drawings and Mineran bullet drawings.

When Chen arrived, Chongzhen also happened to finish painting, and asked Chen to come over to look at the drawings.

This Chen Qi is just an ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, this ambassador is also a junior official of the ninth grade, he has never had the opportunity to meet the emperor in this life, but this Chen Qi is very lucky, the emperor actually summoned him in the Qing Palace, this kind of welfare, only if you have to at least mix with the treatment of a scholar!

Chongzhen values Chen Qi so much because Chongzhen once saw in the history books that the Ordnance Bureau was corrupt at the end of the Ming Dynasty and cut corners to create a lot of inferior firearms, so Chongzhen ordered Jinyiwei to mix in the Ordnance Bureau. At that time, Chen Qicai was just an ordinary craftsman, but he was very keen on firearms. Chen Qi took out his own modified Lianzi gun for Jin Yiwei to play with, Jin Yiwei asked Chen Qi, why didn't the Ordnance Bureau make such a good weapon on a large scale, Chen Qi sighed and said that the Ordnance Bureau was reluctant to make it with good materials. Later, Jin Yiwei recommended Chen Qi to Chongzhen, and after Chongzhen communicated with Chen Qi, he appointed Chen Qi as the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, in charge of the Ordnance Bureau!

The production of white phosphorus incendiary bottles is Chen Qi's first work after becoming an ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau.

Since the emperor's method was used to create white phosphorus, Chen Qi has also seen the power of white phosphorus incendiary bottles, and Chen Qi admires the emperor very much: phosphorus powder is originally a flammable and explosive thing, and the emperor would even think of heating phosphorus powder! This is equivalent to giving you a bomb and telling you that with a fire point, you will get a more powerful bomb!

But the emperor really got it by doing this!

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Chen Qi asked, pointing to the bullet drawing.

"This thing is called a bullet, the current gun loading is too complicated, if the ammunition is made in the form of a bullet, it will be very convenient to load, you see if your Ordnance Bureau can make it?"

Chongzhen's bullet drawings to Chen Qi are minion bullet drawings, and Bi Maokang has invented a flintlock pistol in the Ming Dynasty, which is equipped with a flint automatic lighter device, so the ammunition can be made into the form of bullets.

Before the advent of Mini bullets, rifled guns had a greater range, but they also had a big drawback, because they were engraved with rifling, and it was difficult for the front-loading bullet to keep the chamber breath-tight, and the power was greatly reduced. In order to achieve good breath-holding, rifled gun bullets tend to be made of the same caliber or even slightly larger than the caliber of the gun, so that it is very troublesome to reload, and it is often necessary to hammer the ram to push the bullet into place, which often leads to a more dangerous rupture of the chamber. When the bullet is advanced to the position of the medicine room, it is often deformed due to rough operation, and the killing effect cannot be achieved.

"Yes," Chen Qi asked, pointing to another drawing, "what is this?"

"This is a barrel processing machine. You make this kind of machine according to this drawing, and the barrel that you produce later is polished and reprocessed on this machine. ”

The Ming Dynasty did not have the concept of guns, they called guns guns, but in fact, guns evolved from guns. Chongzhen doesn't care about these names, I make guns!

Chen Qi looked at the drawings carefully and found that if the gun pipe was made according to this machine, it would leave a lot of scars!

Chen Qi thought to himself, who gave the emperor a bad idea!

"Your Majesty, who gave you this drawing?"

"I drew it myself, what kind of it, this kind of manual machine is easier to make than a bullet." Chongzhen said in a snort, hehe, when the rifled barrel is made, with Mini bullets, you will know that it is powerful!

The range of those guns is only thirty zhang, and the range of rifled guns is fifty or sixty zhang, and the range of this rifled gun with Mini bullets is two or three hundred zhang! What does this mean? It means that Dorgon is ready to attack the city, and I will be able to hit him in the head!

"Your Majesty, if it is made like this, there will be a lot of scars on this pipe," Chen Qi said with a sad face.

"Yes, I just want you to get some scars, and in your experience, are they swirling?"

Chen Qi picked up the drawings and looked at them and made a gesture, "It's spiral-shaped." ”

"How long will it take for your Ordnance Bureau to build this kind of handmade machine?"

"According to this drawing, there is nothing complicated, and it can be built in a day."

"And what about polishing these barrels?"

"It's a bit difficult to polish these barrels, because it's an inner barrel polish, and you can only polish up to five barrels a day."

One machine can sharpen five barrels, that's fine. Tianziwei's Shenji battalion now has only 5,000 people, and this kind of manual machine is so simple, then build a hundred, so that it can grind 500 barrels a day. Ten days of the Divine Machine Battalion will be fully equipped with rifled guns! 5,000 people with guns, no matter how fast the cavalry of the Qing army runs, they can't get guns!

"That's okay, you take this drawing, immediately build a hundred manual machines, and polish the barrel as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, do you really want to polish the pipe? In this way, the gun pipe will become thinner, but I am afraid that the gun pipe will crack when it is built. Not to mention whether it can be made, but if it comes out, I am afraid that it will explode after being loaded with gunpowder. ”

"Don't call it a gun, call it a gun, this barrel, you have to make it out of the best iron. So that the barrel will not burst. "Can it crack when you polish? Chen Qi, I appointed you as the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, and I also asked the Ministry of Industry to allocate a lot of silver to you, just to let you make weapons well, and you even told me that they would crack when you polish them.

"I ordered you to be the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, just because I value that you won't cut corners and make weapons out of inferior iron, and you even told me that it would crack? Isn't that enough money for your Armory? ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to use inferior iron, but I'm afraid that this good iron pipe will become thinner after such polishing. Why does this good barrel have to toss and cut so many scars? ”

Chongzhen felt the need to give Chen Qi a lesson.

"This scar is called rifling, and there are these vortex rifling, and when the bullet is fired, it will play a role in rotational acceleration, which can shoot farther and have a higher accuracy. I have seen it in a history book? Chongzhen felt that he couldn't entangle this rifling with Chen Qi anymore, so he simply excused himself from the history books.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has read many weapon history books such as "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation", "Wubei Zhi", "Tiangong Kaiwu", etc., but he has never read rifling."

Chongzhen, "......"

Forget it, I didn't talk about these books.

"You put a bump on the barrel, and that bump is the sight."

"This sight is good, but is this scar really necessary?"

"You're going back and talking to the most senior person in your Armory?"

"Your Majesty, I won't tell you, this Ordnance Bureau is the most familiar with gunpowder." Chen Qi's words are true, the system of the Ming Dynasty is hereditary, the craftsman is the craftsman, and the son of the craftsman is still a craftsman. There is no competition from generation to generation, and if it is not for hobbies, everyone is living in chaos.

"You just do what I say."

This Chen Qi is too verbose, Chongzhen really wonders if Jinyiwei accepted Chen Qi's benefits and spoke for Chen Qi.
