Seeing that Bi Maokang was directly added to the crown prince because of the flintlock pistol, he officially became a high-ranking official. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Guangqi, who was the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry and the head of the Hanlin Academy, was a little envious, and secretly glanced at Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing and others.

Sun Yuanhua couldn't help but smile bitterly, he and Tang Ruowang experimented many times, but they did not succeed in achieving a vehicle-mounted cannon with the power of a red-coated cannon but could be reduced by ten times in size and weight.

Even with the best craftsmen, it is impossible to make a good steel pipe that can last a long time.

Song Yingxing is the same, in order to achieve greater power of gunpowder, he and a few old Taoist priests of alchemy have studied for nearly half a month, but no obvious progress has been made so far.

However, seeing that Bi Maokang and the others were so generously rewarded by His Majesty, they couldn't help but secretly rub their hands.

Zhu Youxiao did not despise the other craftsmen, and also rewarded some silver taels.

Then, Zhu Youxiao went to the Ordnance Bureau under the leadership of Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang, and the Ordnance Bureau was jointly managed by the Ministry of Industry and the Internal Officials and Supervisors, so Liang Fu, the young eunuch of the Internal Officials and Supervisors, also followed.

According to Zhu Youxiao's instructions, the Ordnance Bureau has been transformed, and the workshop of the entire Ordnance Bureau has been directly transformed into a workshop, in order to prevent the leakage of secrets, the workshop is strictly guarded by the army.

Now it is also because Zhu Youxiao is coming, so it is temporarily open for one day.

When Zhu Youxiao came in, he saw that the entire workshop was divided into several isolated workshops, each of which was doing a different program unit of firearms manufacturing.

In order to let His Majesty the Emperor really see the effect, Old Man Li and other old craftsmen have entered the workshop and started their work.

As soon as the wooden and silent Zhang blacksmith entered the working state, he shouted to his subordinates to add coal and fire to him, and he himself threw off his arms and began to strike iron, Zhang blacksmith has his own exclusive method of ironing, each time it is a **** hammer in the front, and then a round of small hammer in the back, and then add some black powder packed in a small bamboo tube.

Listening to Bi Maokang's introduction on the side, the black powder is the original secret recipe of Blacksmith Zhang's family, and when you add that thing when striking iron, you can forge the best steel.

Back then, Qi Shaobao killed the Japanese Kou as a weapon made of their family's iron.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, in his opinion, this blacksmith may have added some coke or something, acting as a reducing agent.

On the other side, Chen Letou and his men were making flint, and a pair of calloused hands were more dexterous than the hands of the embroidery girl, and in less than a few minutes after polishing, a plate of flint was handed to Old Man Li's workshop.

Old man Li's workshop is responsible for the assembly of firearms and the manufacture of parts, which is the center of the entire workshop, but under the leadership of Old Man Li, it is also orderly.

"Very good, if you do this, you can make a few flintlock pistols a day," Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau now start working from three quarters to three quarters of the unitary hour, so that twenty pieces can be completed every day from the completion of the prototype to the test packing."

Bi Maokang was also well-informed and knowledgeable, and answered casually.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked about the output of the bird, and Bi Maokang hurriedly replied that it was more than forty.

"It's still a bit slow, recruit more folk craftsmen, in addition, I will also ask Wei Zhongxian in the south to help, send all the craftsmen from the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and after doing a good job, I have to build a few training institutions, find some masters to teach, and train more good craftsmen, as long as I can, I can give them a birth background, and I will also let the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites cooperate with you, in short, you must make the scale bigger, don't be afraid of spending money, I will give as much as you need, one million taels, ten million taels is not a problem."

Zhu Youxiao can cry poor in front of the self-respecting Guanning Iron Cavalry, but in these aspects involving the technological innovation of the Ming Dynasty, he shows that he is wealthy.

After speaking, he immediately ordered Liang Fu of the Inner Officials and Supervisors to use his internal money to build some auxiliary facilities behind the Ordnance Bureau, such as canteens and bathhouses, and build houses near the ordnance for these craftsmen to live.

At the same time, the wages of craftsmen were tripled from the previous doubling to the previous one.

Zhu Youxiao did this firstly to increase the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, and secondly, to protect them and monitor them so that they would not be taken advantage of by external forces.

Next, Zhu Youxiao took Xu Guangqi and other officials back to the conference hall of the Ministry of Industry, as His Majesty the Emperor, he naturally wanted to encourage him, and at the same time, he also made the following decisions:

First of all, the Ordnance Bureau was directly separated from the Ministry of Industry and upgraded to the Royal Ordnance Institute, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Zhu Youxiao like Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, and Dali Temple.

The Royal Ordnance Office consists of the Gunpowder Bureau, the Firearms Bureau, and the Artillery Bureau.

Bi Maokang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, was directly in charge of the Firearms Bureau, and Old Man Li was also appointed as the head of the Ministry of Works, responsible for the daily affairs of firearms.

Sun Yuanhua of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works directly managed the Artillery Bureau, and Song Ying, a member of the Ministry of Works, directly managed the Firearms Bureau.

Tang Ruowang was also awarded by Zhu Youxiao as the review of the Hanlin Academy and the supervisor of the Qintian Prison, and the member of the Ministry of Industry, and participated in various technical transformation staff officers of the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also personally named the newly developed flintlock pistol the "Apocalypse One-Style" firecracker, and the royal family ordered the first batch of 3,000 pistols, preparing to take the lead in equipping the Beijing garrison army.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, the scientific and technological innovations he sees today are only changes in application, but the source of technological revolution is still in basic research.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to upgrade the Ordnance Bureau to the Royal Ordnance Institute, which was managed by a high-ranking official at the first level of Shilang and was only responsible for the production of mature weapons, and also established the Royal Academy of Engineering, with Sun Yuanhua as the head of the academy and Song Yingxing as the judge, responsible for the research and development of various weapons, and then handed over to the Ordnance Institute for manufacture and sale after maturity.

At the same time, the Royal Academy of Sciences was also established to be responsible for basic research, which was led by Xu Guangqi, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry and the head of the Hanlin Academy.

All those who enter the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering are given a review of the background of the Hanlin Academy.

Although only one foreign academician, Tang Ruowang, became an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences for the time being, Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing, and Li Zubai were the first batch of academicians of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and Li Wensan (Old Man Li), Zhang Goudan (Zhang Blacksmith), Chen Shi (Chen Letou), and Li Zubai (Qin Tianjian Supervisor) were academicians of the Royal Academy of Engineering, but the shelf of the Daming science and technology system was at least built by Zhu Youxiao.

Since the Royal Academy of Sciences is a place for basic scientific research, it is natural that the purpose is to explore the philosophy of nature, and it only needs to export new ideas and knowledge.

The Royal Academy of Engineering, on the other hand, was inspired by the theoretical foundations of the Royal Academy of Sciences, and then combined with productivity to develop a variety of products that were ahead of the times or had great profit margins.

The Royal Armoury was only responsible for production and sales.

In this way, from basic experiments to applied research, and then to the transformation of productive forces, as long as there is a complete system of scientific and technological innovation, a complete industrial system can be built, and then fundamentally change the main mode of productive forces of the Ming Dynasty, and get rid of the dependence on the small peasant economy.
