It has been more than half a year since the establishment of the Firearms Bureau, and during this time, Chen Letian himself was too busy to pay attention, but now he suddenly remembered that Chen Letian wanted to see how it was and what progress was made.

In fact, both he and the general understood that it was very difficult for the Firearms Bureau to make achievements in a short period of time, and it would most likely take at least five to ten years to produce really big results.

However, the general's meaning is also very clear, even if there is no great progress after twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, it is normal. Now as long as we put up the shelf, do it, and study it, it will be a blessing for future generations. As long as we do it first, we will win more than half of it first. It's like everyone is getting married and having children, the children are all soy sauce, and you haven't married yet, when the time comes, everyone will definitely hold their grandson and you are still taking your son.

"So what you mean is that in the future, the Liang Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, and even the Xiliang Kingdom will definitely be involved. But we did it first, so our grandson must be faster than them, right?" Chen Letian asked.

The general slapped Chen Letian on the shoulder, saying that you are still a smart kid, and you can understand it at one point.

Although Chen Letian understands this truth and knows not to worry, he sometimes thinks about it and hopes that the Firearms Bureau can suddenly make a major breakthrough and develop a big killing weapon.

Along the way, Chen Letian came to the Firearms Bureau unimpeded.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard of the Firearms Bureau, the smell of gunpowder filled the courtyard. It's like entering a place where a lot of firecrackers have just been fired. The front yard was all iron-making. Dozens of stoves were burning, and a classmate of Chen Letian shuttled through them, holding a pen and paper in his hand, recording from time to time. The man was very focused, and Chen Letian walked up to him and he didn't notice it. Chen Letian called out to him, and he reacted and immediately saluted.

"Brother Chen, how can I be free today, now is an important time to practice, oh yes, I haven't congratulated Brother Chen on becoming a disciple of the master. ”

Chen Letian said with a smile: "That's a matter on the rivers and lakes, don't mention it here." How's it going, how is the iron?"

The classmate said: "There is no major progress, but some special metals have been discovered, in addition to gold, silver, copper and iron, there are many other unknown kinds." However, now it seems that copper and iron are more useful, but they are still being studied, Brother Chen has no guidance, let's refine and refine, and the cost is also large, I'm afraid that we are not in the right direction. ”

Chen Letian said: "You don't have to worry about expenses, you just have to do it step by step, your direction is very right." Try more new substances, don't be afraid of failure, fail once, and we will be one step closer to success. Oh yes, and you have to pay attention to safety, and people's safety comes first. ”

The classmate nodded.

Chen Letian patted him on the shoulder: "You're busy, I'll go in and have a look." ”

Walking into the confidential room, there were standing guards in front of and behind the door, seeing Chen Letian, they were not familiar with it, Chen Letian took out the waist card and they looked at it carefully for a while before letting Chen Lotian in.

As soon as you enter, there are more than a dozen tables inside, and in front of each table there are people who write, draw, and calculate. There were three or four people sitting around a large table in the middle, discussing something, and no one noticed Chen Lotian when he came in.

Chen Letian walked to the big table, and two of his classmates saw Chen Letian and hurriedly stood up to greet him. Chen Letian nodded, and saw that there was a drawing on the table, on which were drawn very complicated arithmetic formulas and graphics that Chen Lotian couldn't understand.

Chen Letian couldn't understand it at all.

The classmate reported: "Brother Chen, we are discussing the ratio of materials, and we have not yet found the best way to match. Normal firecrackers are too powerful to be lethal. ”

Chen Letian saw that his classmates were full of shame, and said: "Don't worry, these things are not in a hurry, let's come step by step, walk steadily, slowly, let's be steadfast, fast, easy to pull eggs." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not so tense, Chen Letian continued: "You are all masters in this area, and you should know better than me that these things are not so simple, and it is of great significance because they are not simple." This thing is not like engaging in the economy and people's livelihood, there is a good and appropriate policy, and everyone will be fine in a year and a half. The progress of this thing must have a long-term accumulation in the early stage, we can't be in a hurry, once the accumulation reaches a certain level, there will be explosive growth. ”

The classmate said, "Really, how did it explode?"

Chen Letian said: "You will know when the time comes." Let's put it this way, a person has been studying since childhood in order to become a professional. In the beginning, his progress was fast, very slow, but after learning a certain level, he would grow explosively, and he would grow rapidly, you see?"

The students nodded their heads and understood what Chen Lotian meant.

"You are the brains of the entire Firearms Bureau, and if you do a good job, you can do it well. I hope that you will always carry out a cautious, calm and serious attitude in doing things. With that, Chen Letian walked to the backyard.

Some of the people working in the confidential room looked up and saw Chen Letian, they didn't know Chen Letian, they just thought that this was a normal official who came to inspect the work. Anyway, there are often people here to inspect, and I heard that they are all very important officials, and sometimes His Majesty also comes. But they don't know each other, several times after His Majesty left, they only knew that His Majesty had just come, His Majesty didn't let them salute or let them greet him, His Majesty said that you are good ** is the biggest salute to me.

So they have peace of mind, no matter who comes, they just do their own.

Chen Letian came to the largest backyard in the area. There are hundreds of people here, dozens of pits, some large and some small. These pits, large and small, are used for experiments.

However, because it was in the palace, those loud experiments could not be carried out at any time, and such experiments were concentrated during the day for a fixed few days every month. As for other experiments that are not loud, they can be done at any time. Moreover, these pits have many layers of quilts and wooden planks for sound insulation, so even if there is a loud noise, it is actually very small to the ears of the people in the palace.

As for the method of doing the experiment, Chen Letian extracted it from unknown letters.

In that world, there is something called pragmatism. It's that everything is based on facts. Whatever you do, you have to prove it through experiments. And many other things, Chen Letian took all these things that could be used and asked the Firearms Bureau to do it.

Therefore, the tone of the entire Firearms Bureau is to speak with facts.

"Don't stay on the paper, take it off the paper. This was the beginning of the Firearms Bureau, and Chen Letian asked Li Tong to tell the managers to follow the words they must follow.
