"Well, however, it is only in the Song Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Northern Song Dynasty, that my identity is easy to use."

"In the era of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, even pigs knew the importance of firearms. If it was in those dynasties, even if I said that I wanted to refine the elixir, it is estimated that there would be many ill-intentioned and vigilant eyes, observing and tracking. I can't afford to waste such a good time! ”

Got out of the palace gate and got into the carriage back home.

In the carriage, Zhu Zilong's mind entered the main god system in his body, and asked the instructor of the main god system: "The Song Dynasty has invented gunpowder, even if it is not accurate. As long as there are more of them, littering will also have a significant effect when defending the city. Why did you fall under the enemy horses that can only charge savagely? ”

"Trialist, your question is full of personal subjective emotions." The instructor of the Cat Ear Niang system, his fingers were linked, and the three-dimensional images appeared, and then after a group of data appeared, he replied: "According to the main god system's inquiry into the Chinese history of your human Shui Lanxing, the analysis believes that the weak Song situation you imagined does not exist. ”

"Oh, you're saying that the Song Dynasty is not weak, but this is different from the mainstream view!" Zhu Zilong suddenly became curious.

"What is weakness? That's to be contrasting! "Throughout the history of the Song and Song dynasties, they persevered under the iron heel of the Mongols for more than a century before they perished, and it took only two years for the Mongols to reach the Danube. This shows that it is not that the Great Song Dynasty is weak, but that Mongolia is too strong, and the nomadic civilization of the current era is very suitable for ancient warfare and has high mobility. ”

"And the stirrup was also invented by nomads, so it can be said that without the stirrup, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry would have dropped by a big notch. In addition, during the Southern Song Dynasty, when the Southern Song Dynasty was in a peaceful place, the Mongols fought in the south and the north, and almost the entire Eurasian continent was under the control of the Mongols. How capable was Mongolia at this time? The population and resources it can mobilize far exceed those of the Southern Song Dynasty, and if the Southern Song Dynasty does not die in this situation, it is tantamount to a fantasy talk! ”

Zhu Zilong nodded, expressing his understanding, if you fight, you will fight with national strength.

"As for the number of firearms mentioned by the trialist. Sometimes, a large number of products can produce qualitative changes, but sometimes, it is difficult to produce qualitative changes when the quantity is large. The cat ear system instructor said.

"As you can see, the material of the assault rifle just now is very poor. In the era when steel was still a high-end consumer product, there were too many impurities of iron, sulfur and phosphorus smelted, the iron would be very brittle, and firearms were very easy to explode, so the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were reluctant to use it. Why is there a lot of quantity, and there is a qualitative change? Logistics alone is thankless! ”

"Actually, please pay attention to the trialists. Just before you enter the modern 21st century new China, modern China's iron ore reserves seem to be considerable, but they still have to be imported in large quantities every year. Some of the major Chinese iron works were built along the coast, which is also due to this. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zilong was depressed. I didn't expect it to be so complicated!

However, when he looked up, he distinguished: "Even so, the opponent's equipment is even worse." There should still be a main reason, which lies in the leaders and concepts of the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

"That's right, Wen Tian is martial arts, and he will bring disaster to the country and the people. To summarize it in the words you have in mind, it's the leading fool, no matter how useless the equipment is, at best, he's a transport captain! The cat-eared instructor nodded and replied.

"Cups!" Zhu Zilong hugged his head and was speechless again.

Mr. Lu Xun once said: "Foreign countries use gunpowder to make bullets to ward off the enemy, but China uses it to make firecrackers to worship God." "By the time it was taken seriously, it had already destroyed the country (such as Song and Ming). Then reincarnated a few times, but it made the Westerners ahead of them.

When the carriage arrived outside the palace, Zhu Zilong hurriedly walked inside.

The matter of salt introduction has already been notified to Steward Jin and some cronies, and when the time comes, someone from the palace will naturally hand it over. As a figure like the head of the sword, Zhu Zilong only cares about the general direction.

Looking at Li Si and the others who were coming, Zhu Zilong asked directly: "The people that this king is looking for, the people who are borrowed, and the people who are selected from among the refugees, have all arrived?" ”

"It's all here, and even the Cao family is here!" Li Si replied respectfully.

"The Cao family? Was it the princess's idea? Zhu Zilong asked rhetorically with a frown.

"The princess may not know, when the Cao family arrived, she seemed to be startled." Li Si replied quietly.

Zhu Zilong didn't speak anymore and walked straight inside. Sure enough, when he arrived at the courtyard he had designated to meet, not only were all kinds of craftsmen there, but there was also a table on the side, and the two brothers Cao Cao and Cao Bao were sitting there, with guards and some craftsmen they had brought.

The Cao family brothers hurriedly stepped forward to say a few polite words to Zhu Zilong, after all, this courtyard was full of craftsmen, and everyone had something to do at a glance. This kind of uninvited person, even if it is a gesture of goodwill, you must understand the proportion. Then, I went to the side yard and waited!

After Zhu Zilong asked the craftsmen from the Cao family, he found that it was not the kind of talent he wanted, so he asked people to take him back to the mountain to help.

Turning his head, Zhu Zilong looked at the craftsmen he had invited.

After asking questions and answers with a few people during the selection, I focused on an old man and a few of his disciples.

Zhu Zilong asked them, "I heard that you are good at building firearms?" And hunting birds in the wild, the head is very accurate? ”

The old man's name was Li Gangshan, who was about fifty-five or six years old, but his figure was still very stout, and he replied to Zhu Zilong: "Back to the prince's words, it's not that the grass people boast, when it comes to making weapons and fire guns, even the people of the Ordnance Bureau can't compare to the grass people. Our ancestors were old blacksmiths, but all the tools we built were durable and durable. In my lifetime, the skills in this hand have not been left behind. Firearms are self-taught all these years! ”

Zhu Zilong looked at him as if he was recalling something, and his expression was proud and hateful, as if it was true.

However, just to be on the safe side, I asked him about the manufacture of bird-like firearms.

The other party's answer is the Tao, and he is full of confidence, although there are some shortcomings, but he has personal experience. In this way, Zhu Zilong was satisfied, and in the end, Li Gangshan gave Zhu Zilong a cost calculation.

This means that a qualified and less explosive ornith-type assault rifle must use good iron, and even more so good steel. In this way, the cost is at least about five to ten taels, and if it is built in large quantities, the cost required is not a small amount.

Without this, quality cannot be guaranteed.

About five to ten taels, which can be used as the living expenses of ordinary people's families for more than a month. It's really not cheap, and it's no wonder that few people build it, and it is estimated that it is usually only created by some curious sons and brothers, as well as some special people.

However, now Zhu Zilong is only poor with money, so he is more concerned about the quality of the Bird Gun Assault Musket. Of course, there is another purpose for coming today, that is, he actually has good materials.

In the past few months, there was a systematic lottery, and he drew a batch of modern seamless steel pipes.

So, Zhu Zilong turned his head and went to other studios, and soon came back. took out a seamless modern steel pipe, showed it to Li Gangshan and others, and asked him how about using this thing to build firearms?

Syllable!

As soon as the seamless steel pipe came out, Li Gangshan and the others had straight eyes, and when they were sent to them for a closer look. Even more hands, my hands are a little shaky!

"King, king...... Lord Wang, you are the most valuable hundred refined steel, those heirloom swords, I'm afraid the material is not necessarily stronger than it. Are you really going to use it to build firearms? When Li Gangshan and the others spoke, their lips were trembling.

Looking at Zhu Zilong's gaze, there was a faint look like he was looking at a super loser!
