The principal said: "Back to Mr. Liu's words, this fire gun is called an automatic rifle, I don't know how to do it, and that Wang Yue can't understand it." ”

Liu Zunxian asked curiously: "Automatic?" Can you move on your own? ”

The principal said: "According to Wang Yue, the reason why it is called an automatic rifle is because it can be loaded with thirty rounds at a time and can be fired continuously. ”

Liu Zunxian nodded and said, "Well, this emperor told me, so it's really sharp!" ”

Fu Mingyuan, the right attendant, picked up the rifle and looked at it carefully for a long time, then looked at the bullets, shook his head and said: "We can't make this automatic rifle, and even if we make it, we can't afford to use it." ”

Liu Zunxian asked in surprise: "Why?" ”

If the senior level of the Ministry of Industry wants to talk about professionals, it must belong to Fu Mingyuan. He said he couldn't make it, and eighty percent of it was true.

Fu Mingyuan pointed to the rifle and said: "First of all, we don't have this kind of steel, please see that the barrel of this gun is so thin, and it will not explode if it fires thirty bullets in a row, which shows that the strength of this steel is unimaginable." Looking at this projectile again, it is so small, but it can shoot 300 paces away, which means that the gunpowder at the bottom is very strong, and we don't have it, and this gunpowder only needs to be hit to fire. The size of the projectile and the barrel must have been exquisite, almost perfect, and we don't have such skilled craftsmen. If you look closely at the inside of the barrel in the light, there is a spiral groove, indicating that the lead bullet will turn when it is released. Look at this projectile again, it turns out to be copper! Even if we build this gun, will we be able to use it? ”

The bullet is actually plated with copper, and after Fu Mingyuan finished speaking, everyone can see that he is right.

Liu Zongzhou asked, "What should I do then?" ”

Liu Zunxian was also worried: "If you can't make it, the emperor won't be able to explain it." ”

Fu Mingyuan said: "This gun does not need to be ignited to fire, but it is similar to the self-generated fire gun in the book by Lord Bi Mao Kangbi. ”

Liu Zunxian immediately came to his senses and asked, "How does Master Bi's self-generated fire gun compare to this rifle?" ”

Fu Mingyuan shook his head and said, "It's a thousand miles away!" Let's see if this gun is so amazing first. ”

"Okay, you should really try it, how the hell." Liu Zunxian said.

They came to the Jingwei School Yard together, and the area in the capital is more suitable here. Han Yu, the commander of Jingwei, heard that several adults had come to the Ministry of Industry, and hurriedly came over to greet him.

"How did a few adults have time to come to this school?" Han Yu said respectfully.

Liu Zunxian stroked his beard and said, "We got a kind of firecracker, called an automatic rifle, and we came here to test the power." You help us prepare some worn armor and shields, and a few more thick stakes. ”

Han Yu immediately asked people to prepare.

Fu Mingyuan instructed them to tie the old armor and shields to the stakes, line them up in a column, and then everyone retreated to a hundred steps, too far for them to be afraid of not being able to hit.

Han Yu wondered how to fight so far, this was too far. But he didn't dare to ask, the level difference was too far.

According to Wang Yue's teaching, the director of the Ministry of Engineering told Fu Mingyuan how to aim at three points and one line, what is a single shot, what is a burst shot, and how to launch.

Fu Mingyuan felt that it was very simple, nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you go away, be careful of choking on you with smoke and dust." ”

He took this for black powder.

After aiming at the rifle for a long time, he said to himself: Can you really hit a straight line?

Pull the trigger and just listen to "Smack!" With a bang, the recoil of the gun startled him.

Fu Mingyuan was worried that he didn't hit, so he shot again.

Everyone went over to see the effect.

"Shhh Everyone gasped, and actually pierced through three layers of iron shields, two layers of iron armor, and two thick wooden stakes.

"This, this fire gun is so powerful!" Han Yu was stunned.

Fu Mingyuan also said to Liu Zunxian: "Boss, this rifle is said to be able to penetrate any armor three hundred and twenty steps away, it's not a lie!" What's even more terrifying is that this bullet shoots out in a straight line! In other words, if you practice well, you will never hit your left eye from 320 steps away! ”

Liu Zongzhou said: "And it can shoot continuously, let's take a look at the continuous shooting!" ”

The principal said: "Wang Yue said that because of the recoil, it is difficult to hit accurately when it is far away. ”

Fu Mingyuan thought so, he had experienced it just now.

So they retreated to about thirty paces, leaving three bullets at Wang Yue's request.

Switching to burst shots, Fu Mingyuan pulled the trigger, "Da Da Da!" With a shuttle at the target, he paused and said, "Da-da-da, da-da-da!" ”

Let's go to the target again, and it's become a beecomb.

"No wonder Jiannu is invincible, hehe, hehehe!" Liu Zunxian smiled and touched his beard.

Fu Mingyuan said: "Yes, with thousands of such rifles, tens of thousands of people can't get close at all!" ”

Liu Zongzhou shook his head and said: "This rifle is so domineering, if it falls into the hands of people with evil intentions, it will not be the blessing of the imperial court!" ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and Fu Mingyuan thought about it: "Wang Sihua is rich in the world, he shouldn't have that kind of ambition, right?" If there is, he can hide it and accumulate it deeply. And this kind of bullet is so difficult to make, but the bullet consumed in the battle with Jiannu is unknown. If there is ambition, will you deliberately expose your strength? How many rifles did you send to the Ministry of Works? ”

Liu Zongzhou sneered: "But only sixty bullets are given, what is the explanation?" I don't believe that! ”

Liu Zunxian said with a smile: "Maybe it's really too expensive as Fu Shilang said, so I can't bear it." Well, what Fu Shilang said also has some truth, but the emperor has to report it truthfully. ”

The Forbidden City's Heart Nourishing Palace.

"Oh? And that rifle is really so sharp? ”

Chongzhen was also shocked when he heard Liu Zunxian's report, and these civil officials in the court often liked to use exaggerated remarks. What is eroded for dozens of miles with one shot, it is simply incredible! So when he heard Xie Baoqing say how Wang Yue's fire gun was, he didn't believe it all.

Now it can be confirmed that this rifle can not only penetrate any armor from 320 paces away, but can also be fired like flowing water, and it can shoot in a straight line, which can be pointed and shot!

Such a powerful weapon is not in his own hands, and even the Ministry of Industry admits that the entire Ming Dynasty can't make it, this is a powerful weapon that will wipe out 70,000 Jiannu! To eliminate 70,000 Jiannu, even if the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry of the imperial court dispatches 300,000, it will be difficult to build a complete achievement, not to mention that the current Guanning Iron Cavalry is less than 80,000 horses.

Chongzhen felt scared when he thought about it, and he asked Cao Huachun next to him: "I heard that Jiannu led 33,000 troops and more than 6,000 troops to attack the starting point city guarded by 800 people, and lost more than half. ”

Cao Huachun immediately said: "Back to Long Live Lord, it's true, as soon as Wang Yuejun came back to help, Jiannu immediately collapsed." ”

Chongzhen asked Liu Zunxian: "Liu Aiqing, you have met Wang Yue, what do you think of this son?" ”

How could Liu Zunxian not see Chongzhen's doubts, he roughly said what Fu Mingyuan meant, and said with a smile: "This person is young and enthusiastic, and his personality is upright and unpretentious. I also know everything about how the city was built, and we are invited to send people to study in the Ministry of Industry. ”
