Looking at the building in front of him, Sun Chengzong nodded, he had naturally heard of it here, and he also wanted to know the secrets inside, and he had inquired in many ways, but he found nothing. It's just vaguely aware that there are always explosions here, as if something is being made, and some people even wonder if this Emperor of the Apocalypse has some special habits.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there were too many emperors with special fetishes, and it would not be strange to have one more emperor of the Apocalypse. All the ministers were mentally prepared for this, so although they were curious, they didn't have to figure it out.

Looking at the smiling Emperor of the Apocalypse at this time, Sun Chengzong knew that this could not be a special place, firearms must be being made here, and it was instructed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Following the Emperor of the Apocalypse into the Imperial Village, Sun Chengzong was an eye-opener, and countless people in white walked back and forth. The people here seemed to be very busy, and after saluting the Emperor of the Apocalypse, they all left in a hurry. Many people were walking forward with their heads down, not even paying attention to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Praetorian Guards wanted to greet people to salute but were interrupted by the Emperor of the Apocalypse waving his hand.

It didn't take long for Xu Guangqi to come, followed by a young man, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that this was Bi Maokang. In history, it was this person who invented the flintlock pistol of the Ming Dynasty, although it was slightly later than Europe, but it was made by the Chinese themselves.

However, because of the fall of the Ming Dynasty and the containment of firearms by the Qing Dynasty, this advanced weapon lost the opportunity to be equipped. If at that time, such guns were equipped on a large scale, future generations would not necessarily be good. At this time, Bi Maokang was still very young, only in his twenties, although he was not very old, he looked very calm. The Emperor of the Apocalypse believed that with Xu Guangqi's teachings and his own support, the young Bi Maokang would definitely go further than in history.

Gently picked up Xu Guangqi, who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at the old man who seemed to be a little older, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse's brows suddenly wrinkled. Turning his head to Chen Hong behind him, he said: "Tomorrow, transfer some imperial chefs over, they will be responsible for the food here in the future, you must let them eat well, and you will be responsible for this matter." In addition, a few imperial doctors are being sent over and stationed here to see these people at all times. Remember, be sure to choose someone you can trust. ”

"Yes, the old slave wrote it down." Regarding the things explained by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong naturally did it, and did it without any discount.

"Your Majesty, thank you." Xu Guangqi could naturally feel the love of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and at the same time, he was moved in his heart and determined to work harder.

Without much delay, the group walked slowly inside, their destination was the testing ground for firearms.

Looking at the artillery in front of him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was very pleased. These guns have been greatly improved over the Ming guns, both in terms of rate of fire and range. Some flintlock pistols have been made, and while they are not perfect, they are much stronger than arquebuses.

Gently handing a flintlock pistol to Sun Chengzong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and said, "Aiqing, look at these newly made new firearms." ”

Sun Chengzong is naturally no stranger to firearms, and after taking the musket, he found something unusual, this gun has no arquebus.

Looking at Xu Guangqi on the side, Sun Chengzong slowly picked up the gun, gently pulled the trigger, and with a gunshot, the target in the distance was broken in response.

"Good stuff, really good stuff." Sun Chengzong could naturally see the advantages of this gun and said excitedly.

When the flintlock pistol is fired, the trigger is pulled, and under the action of the spring, the flint is hit heavily on the edge of the fire door, and sparks emerge, igniting the gunpowder and firing. The firing process is greatly simplified, the firing rate and shooting accuracy are improved, it is easy to use, and the cost is low, which facilitates mass production.

Looking at the excited Sun Chengzong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded slightly, turned his head to Xu Guangqi behind him and said, "Aiqing, I am very satisfied with this flintlock pistol, but I know that this is only a flintlock pistol used by the infantry, and there is also a flintlock pistol used by the cavalry. Although they are all flintlock pistols, the size and model are much different, and your next step is to produce this kind of flintlock pistol for cavalry. ”

Xu Guangqi nodded slowly, and said to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Yes, the minister must arrest this matter as soon as possible." The production of flintlock pistols is okay these days, I wonder what Your Majesty wants to do with these manufactured guns? Xu Guangqi has always been curious and worried about this. As the saying goes, a good horse with a good saddle, if such a good thing falls into the hands of ordinary people, not to mention that it is used well, it may be sold to the enemy as soon as it changes hands.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Xu Guangqi clearly, and said with a chuckle: "This I have my own idea, let people build a warehouse here for storing firearms, and you will make 50,000 flintlock pistols for infantry and 20,000 flintlock pistols for cavalry. I'm not very demanding, I'll give you a year, as long as you build it before the end of the year. ”

Thinking about the current manufacturing progress, Xu Guangqi could only shake his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this can't be done, the current output of the firearms factory is only a thousand flintlock guns a month, and this goal is difficult to achieve." ”

"This Aiqing can rest assured, I will send someone to you, your current people are only responsible for researching and improving the flintlock pistol, and the rest of me will find someone to do it. There is also artillery, Aiqing, this kind of long-range cannon should not be made too much in the future, just make a hundred. Your future research will focus on small artillery, the kind of artillery that can be carried by two people, similar to the Franky artillery. This is the direction you are making and improving, and of course the improvement of cannons cannot be stopped, what I need is a smaller but more powerful artillery. After a slight pause, the Emperor of the Apocalypse continued: "That's what I said, you study carefully, and in a few days, I will let the people who make the artillery come over." ”

Xu Guangqi naturally didn't have any opinions, but Sun Chengzong couldn't put it down at this time, stroking the huge cannon and stroking the cold barrel, but Sun Chengzong's heart was hot.

Although he didn't know the minister in charge of making artillery, Sun Chengzong couldn't help but smile, and said to Xu Guangqi, who was standing not far away: "Lord Xu, can you introduce these new cannons you made next?" ”

Glancing at the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse nodding, Xu Guangqi slowly walked to Sun Chengzong's side, and said with a smile: "Under Xu Guangqi, I don't know this adult?" ”

"Sun Chengzong, thanks to Your Majesty's refusal to give up, the cabinet is now walking." Although he didn't know the official position of this Lord Xu, from the demeanor of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Sun Chengzong knew that this must be a very important person of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
