"Your Majesty, do you want to start teaching?"

Xu Yifan couldn't cry and laughed, and said: "The affairs of the imperial court are heavy, where do you have time to teach hundreds of people?" It's not like meeting each other and cheering them up, even if it's one hour a day, it will take up two hours for you, and you can spare so much time in a day? One or two days or you can, but it's continuous, according to you, at least a year, how can it be done? ”

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "The affairs are heavy, then I will hand over the affairs of the court to you, non-military affairs, you make your own decisions, you don't have to go to me, in case of government decrees, as long as your cabinet all passes, you don't need to ask me, you can promulgate it yourself, the jade seal is in the hands of Liu Sili and the queen, you know!" Just do it, Yifan, in the past two days, you will start to look for the residence of the academy, the location can be more remote, however, it must be large enough, in the future, there will be hundreds of people in the two academies, and the scale should not be lower than that of Shuntian Academy; Li Yan, the proposed purpose, the general soldiers and generals of the Tianwei Army and the Tianxiong Army, will be transferred to Beijing with 50 people, and the specific candidates will be determined by the Ministry of War; The same is true of the Ming fleet, the personnel are determined by Lao Cha, and within a month, all of them must enter Beijing! ”

"What about the Royal Military Academy?"

Xu Yifan asked, "Your Majesty, what kind of charter is this?" ”

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Mao Gong, this military academy, you are directly in charge, the president of the military academy, responsible for the affairs of the military academy!" Specialized in researching new weapons! ”

As Zhu Jie spoke, he picked up a stack of drawings from the bookcase and said: "Mao Gong, these drawings are all just drawn by me, and the specific size, specifications and shapes are still to be discussed, but their mechanism, I have already written and explained, for a period of time in the future, the direction of research and manufacturing of the Royal Military Academy is these, this, I named him a fuse diagram, which is used to detonate shells or other weapons, in the future, we have many weapons that will use it, and this drawing is just one of the fuses, I need you to develop him in the shortest possible time! ”

Mao Yuanyi is a contemporary weapon researcher, even if he doesn't know what this thing is, he can still feel the usefulness of this thing, and use it to detonate gunpowder!

Mao Yuanyi muttered: "Your Majesty, the rest is not to mention, it is not difficult for us to manufacture, as long as we understand the mystery in it, we will naturally be able to make it, the only trouble should be how to combine it with artillery shells and other weapons, this is where we need to spend our thoughts, and then there is the way he explodes, and we also need good quality springs or shrapnel, which requires our steel to be good enough......"

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "How to make it, let's go back, there are other things here, this is the most important of them!" ”

Zhu Jie pulled out another drawing and said: "This, I named him a machine tool, look at the steel rod and steel head above, all need the best steel, so as to have enough hardness to complete his work, we are now, whether it is a gun chamber, or a gun chamber needs to depict rifling, but it is too slow to depict it manually, time-consuming and laborious, once this cutting machine tool is manufactured, we can use the power of machinery to depict rifling for us, of course, if the future of the manufacture of steam engines is more advanced, We can even apply the power of the steam engine, and when the time comes, we can make a rifled gun barrel, and the application time will only be dozens of times shorter than the original, once our Tianwei army and fleet are all replaced with rifled guns, then there will be a leap forward in terms of rate of fire, range and accuracy! ”

Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly: "Steel, or steel, this requirement is more difficult than Yinxin, we need absolutely hard steel, after all, we are carving rifling on iron cannons or copper cannons, I'm afraid that 100 steels are not enough to complete such a heavy task......"

Zhu Jie didn't answer, took out a drawing again, and said: "This is relatively simple, I call him a fire cap, don't look at him as inconspicuous, but the use is big, the fuses I said above can be applied to it, and our bullets can also be applied to it, in fact, it is very simple, that is, a detonation device for future bullets is needed, and only a metal needle needs to be pierced on it to ignite the fire cap, and then detonate the bullet and excite the projectile straight out!" ”

Mao Yuanyi frowned and said, "Your Majesty, if this thing can really achieve the function you described, then our musket will face a huge change in the future, and the bullet and propellant are placed together......

Zhu Jie smiled: "Yes, that's what it means, on the basis of this technology, there are two other kinds of firearms here to shoot, look at ......"

Zhu Jie took out the drawings of a rifle, a very primitive rifle, according to Zhu Jie's definition, should be the earliest version of the rear-firing rifled gun, not that Zhu Jie can't draw a better firearm, but Zhu Jie knows that even if he can draw a better one, there is no problem with the 98-type automatic assault rifle, the problem is that with the current technology, it is impossible to make such an accurate weapon, the difference is too far, and this rifle based on the German Dreiser pin gun can be manufactured. That's already a blessing to invite the heavens, and it's hard to solve the problem of airtightness alone......

"You see, this is a bullet with a fire cap, this shell is made of cardboard, here is the fire cap, but this requires a flammable substance, so you need to let Western scholars develop it, they have an almost fanatical energy for this kind of research, this firing pin hits the fire cap, it will cause the propellant to burn, prompt the bullet to eject the chamber, here is his trigger ......"

Zhu Jie gave Mao Yuanyi a detailed introduction, Mao Yuanyi's research on gunpowder is not particularly profound, but he is very proficient in the principle of machinery, without Zhu Jie's introduction, he only needs to understand the principle of the firing pin gun at a glance!

Mao Yuanyi was stunned again by Zhu Jie's whimsy, the design of this musket is simply ingenious, although it is far less than the emperor's artifact, but this is already magical enough, the biggest benefit, that is, you don't need to take back the chamber to load ammunition, you can directly fill this paper shell bullet from behind, after pushing into the chamber, directly pull the trigger, you don't even need flint, you can shoot directly, greatly reducing the time of shooting, it takes 30 seconds to shoot, Now it only takes three to five seconds!

Clean and neat, no mud and water!
