Li Yao followed the craftsman king to the firearms city, Li Yao looked at the construction of the firearms city wall, and the ordinary city wall is not the same, the craftsman king said: "The firearms city is built for firearms, so when I designed this city, it is mainly based on firearms attacks, there are baffles on the city wall, which is designed to prevent the failure of firearms on rainy days, the city wall is wide and large, and can be equipped with a lot of artillery at any time, in addition, we have a small catapult here!" ”

Li Yao was puzzled: "Small catapult? Is the small catapult useful? ”

The craftsman laughed: "How powerful do you think you are to throw the explosives bag as a stone with a catapult?" And our small catapult is improved, only two people can operate, although the lightning barrel is simple, but it overheats after firing five times in a row, and it is easy to explode when launched, with the addition of a small catapult, you can solve the drawback of the flying thunder cylinder! ”

Li Yao nodded and said: "These designs are not bad, grandpa, let's go and see firearms, now the moisture-proof problem of firearms is the biggest problem!" ”

The craftsman said, "Go, come with me, and I'll take you to see the improved firearms!" ”

Walking down the city wall, Li Yao asked, "Grandpa, how did you read the drawings that gave you the gun last time?" Did you make a pistol? ”

The craftsman king nodded and said, "The Suifa pistol has been completed, and when we have tested the firearm, we can test the Suifa pistol!" ”

Li Yao asked, "Grandpa, how powerful is the starting gun?" Have you tried it? ”

The craftsman said: "I have tried it, and I don't know how many times more powerful than a bow and arrow, and you will know how powerful it is when we try it!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa, there are more powerful muskets than the rifles, but we can't make them with our conditions, and when the conditions are ripe in the future, maybe we will make a more powerful gun!" ”

When the craftsman king heard Li Yao's words, his eyes lit up instantly, and he asked, "Is there really a musket that is more powerful than the Sui Rifle?" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but we need to explore!" ”

The gun was used until the 18th century, and no better guns were developed for hundreds of years, even if Li Yao wanted to study it, it was difficult, first of all, it was difficult to innovate gunpowder, and without a good primer, rifled guns could not be made!

Li Yao followed the craftsman king to a warehouse in the northeast corner of the firearms city, and the guards guarding the warehouse saw that it was Li Yao and the craftsman king coming, and saluted one after another: "Legion commander!" Craftsman King! ”

Li Yao returned a military salute, and the craftsman king nodded slightly and said, "Open the door!" ”

After the guards opened the door, King Craftsman and Li Yao walked into the firearms warehouse, and King Craftsman said: "Our Firearms Bureau has been transferred to Firearms City, and the firearms here are made by our Firearms Bureau for a while!" ”

There are a lot of things in it, there are countless grenades and explosives packs, Li Yao said: "This time I mainly test the moisture-proof of the grenade, because the explosive bag is launched through the flying thunder canister, so it is not easy to get wet, but the grenade is carried, and it is the most susceptible to moisture!" ”

The craftsman said, "Then let's take a few and try them!" ”

Li Yao turned to the guards behind him and said, "You guys take ten grenades, and you'll go out and give it a try!" ”

When the guards first picked up the grenade, they were a little puzzled, why did this grenade have no lead? How do you ignite a grenade without a lead?

Li Yao glanced at the grenade and saw that the style had indeed changed, so he said, "Give me a grenade!" ”

The guard handed Li Yao a grenade, Li Yao took it and looked at it, the shell of the grenade had been changed to bamboo, the whole grenade was round, and there was no gap, Li Yao nodded and said, "It's really good!" ”

Li Yao took the grenade and looked at it repeatedly, and found a small cover at the bottom of the grenade, after Li Yao picked open the cover, a rope was exposed, Li Yao looked at the rope and said with a smile: "Grandpa, your design is really good, if my guess is right, this rope is pulled by Suishi, pull off the rope, Suishi fires, and then ignites the ignition charge, and finally ignites the gunpowder, and explodes, is this the principle?" ”

The craftsman king clapped his hands and said incredibly: "Master Hou is really not ordinary, you can guess this!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "It's nothing, as long as you know a little bit about it, you can guess it, let's go, let's try it!" ”

The craftsman said, "Wait, let's go out with two rifles, and we'll test the grenades to see the power of the rifles!" ”

Li Yao asked the guards to take two rifles, then took a pack of gunpowder and some projectiles, and walked out of the warehouse!

The treasury manager wrote down the number of firearms taken out by the craftsman king, and the craftsman signed it, and the treasury manager left!

Li Yao said: "Are our warehouse managers trained by the Firearms Bureau? ”

King Craftsman said: "Yes, because the maintenance of firearms and the maintenance of cold weapons are not the same, so special training is necessary, firearms are not ordinary weapons, once lost, it will be dangerous, so the warehouse management must write down the number and use of each firearm in detail!" ”

Li Yao nodded and said, "Grandpa, let's go and experiment!" ”

When he came to the venue, Li Yao said to the guards: "Throw the grenade into the snowdrift!" ”

The guards threw the grenades into the snowdrift one after another, and Li Yao said to the craftsman king: "If you want to try whether it is moisture-proof, this is the best way!" After about a quarter of an hour, Li Yao said: "Pick up the grenade, pull the rope, and throw it out!" ”

The guards had never used this kind of grenade, but in the warehouse, they saw Li Yao pull open the cover at the bottom of the grenade and pull out a rope, so the guards pulled out the cover one after another and pulled the rope off!

As soon as the rope was pulled off, the black smoke of gunpowder came out, and the guards threw the grenades out one after another, and as soon as the grenade landed, it exploded, and the rumbling sound came out, Firearms City is different from other places, this place tests firearms are very frequent, so even if you hear the sound of firearms exploding, you are not very curious!

The ten grenades all exploded, and Li Yao clapped his hands and said, "Grandpa, I didn't expect the moisture-proof measures of this firearm to be so good!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "This is all studied by the people in the Firearms Bureau!" ”

Li Yao said: "Grandpa, this improvement is very good, I will reward you with 10,000 taels of silver, you take it to reward them, whoever has made a great contribution, give him more!" ”

The craftsman king smiled: "Then thank you Lord Hou!" ”

Li Yao said: "This should be rewarded, and it is normal to reward merit!" In the future, the Firearms Bureau will be making innovations, and there will be bounties, after all, there is money to be motivated! ”

The King of Craftsmen nodded and said, "That's true, although money is not everything, but it is really good to use it to stimulate their innovation!" ”

PS: The thief is too powerful now, today I was walking on the road, listening to songs with headphones, suddenly the headphones were soundless, I reached out and took the phone to see what the situation was, and found that there was only a headphone cable left in the pocket, as soon as I turned around, I saw a person in green clothes running through the highway, the speed of the railing is faster than Liu Xiang's hurdle speed, the ten-lane expressway, the speed of each car is at least sixty yards, the thief just crossed it, Do you know the feeling of seeing your things disappear, I didn't want to say anything at the time, except for wishing him to be hit by a car as soon as possible, hey, I calculated, it takes a year of full attendance to earn back the mobile phone money, write a book for nothing, think about it, but thankfully, my appetite has not been affected, as a foodie, I still admire myself!
