Then they brought a batch of oil back to Chang'an for the Armed Forces Research Institute to carry out the research and development of new weapons. As long as you can make achievements and make some fire oil bombs and lighters, at that time, Uncle Li will definitely pay attention to the production place of this fire oil, and at that time, this kind of thing will definitely be valued by the court.

I pinched my fingers and calculated the time, I'm afraid that it will be a month or two before it will arrive, after a while, let's draw a picture of the clamshell lighter and hand it over to the craftsmen for design, and strive to design a Chinese brand lighter, but unfortunately there is no patent office at the moment, but it doesn't matter, anyway, our Tang Empire said whose patent for this thing is, that is, which foreign barbarian dares not to open his eyes, and pinched him with one finger.

Well, the design and production of these lighters must be grasped, and when the time comes, we will use it for distillation, we will not use other methods, but we will steam wine, and in the very beginning, oil was also used in this way to separate various oils, maybe Ben Gongzi was bored another day, and also wrote a book "Oil and Gunpowder: Innovation in Science and Technology".

, first give Uncle Li and others a fresh play, but if they burn their own eyebrows and beards, or if they are the little children in the family who do evil, burn this and that, it is none of my son's business. Scared to death those wild monkeys of the West who drank blood. Zippo lighter? What kind of thing is that, I'm afraid that after our Datang lighters occupy the world, this thing invented by Western wild monkeys is still squatting in the embryo of a Western microbe.

Oil is a good thing, both military and civilian industries are very much in need of this thing, although there are no cars and trains nowadays, let alone gasoline engines, diesel generator sets, but the problem is that at least it can solve the bright problems of the people of Datang.

Now the people of Datang use more oil lamps, mainly vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, pine nut oil and other materials.

You know, the people eat this kind of oil, and now the oil extraction technology is being innovated in the Martial Arts Research Institute, but the output of rapeseed oil and pine nut oil is still very low.

------------------------------------------------Of course, this is a long-term goal, not to mention that oil has not yet been obtained, even if it is really obtained, if the output is not high, let alone entering the homes of ordinary people, I am afraid that it is quite good to let the dignitaries and nobles use lighters to light candles to play. After all, the interests of the country are above all else, and at least first of all, the application of the military-industrial side is guaranteed.

Of course, I did not dare to forget my job now, and I personally told these workers that they would continue to work hard and design several flintlock devices, first of all, it is best to design a flintlock device that can be used on artillery or mines at the same time, so that they can be used interchangeably, and there is no need to worry about the failure of the flintlock device on the artillery, and there will be no replacement items.

In addition, they also need to design a small hair equipment, I hope to be able to use it on the bamboo and wood handle grenade of the Tang Empire, that is, hide it inside the wooden handle, and pull the lead violently to make the flint ignite and ignite the lead inside, so that it can still be used in the rainy season or in harsh climates such as strong winds and cold winters.

The craftsman's expression was a little sad, the most important thing is that the space in the bamboo and wood handle grenade of the Tang Dynasty is relatively narrow, but in my opinion, it is completely enough, at least the diameter of the hole in the middle of the hollow bamboo handle reaches two centimeters, which can completely stuff the cheap firer of five cents a piece in the future.

"This craftsman, it's not that the official is making it difficult for you, but I hope you can pick your own limits and make due contributions to the military industry of my Datang, think about it, in the cold winter when the north wind calls, or in the rainy autumn, our Datang heroic soldiers, because the grenade cannot be used in this climate, how many families will lose their loved ones, how many losses will my Datang suffer, if you do more, how many good sons and daughters of my Datang can be saved? ...... "I took the craftsman's hand and said very sincerely. This is the truth, and it is definitely not to deceive them.

Mo said that these craftsmen, even Zhong Hua and Dong Jinxuan were also quite excited, as if they wanted to do it themselves to design newer and safer weapons for my Datang, so as to make the Datang Empire more peaceful.

The craftsman and a few people around him received the clever words of this son, and agreed to my request very solemnly. "Don't worry, no matter what, I will live up to your invitation, just wait for the good news. I'll go back here and step up the development of these things that my lord has told me. ”

"Without them, there would be no Datang as strong and prosperous today." Dong Jinxuan, who was standing next to me, couldn't help but whisper after being silent for a long time. I patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion, the world, it is impossible to stop there are scholars, and there can be only soldiers, every kind of industry, there is a necessary surname for their existence, and giving them due respect is far better than forcing them with a leather whip." ”

"You respect me, I respect you, and then!" Zhong Hua came to such a sentence, well, very much to my appetite. After a few days, these craftsmen gritted their teeth and worked tirelessly to make a sample of this flint hair equipment that can be put into the bamboo and wood handle, these craftsmen really deserve to be a well-known expert in weapons in the Tang Dynasty, the design is extremely simple and practical, when I learned the news and rushed to the firearms bureau, I saw these few people with blue and black eyes, and their expressions looked aggrieved, but when the craftsmen were full of energy, there was an indescribable feeling and warmth rippling in my heart.

In the middle of the wooden handle, a small duck's beak protruded, and at the duck's beak, a small piece of flint was bitten, and on the inner pilaster, an iron piece was inlaid with a piece of iron, and this iron cylinder was wound with a long hemp rope, and a bamboo handle stretched out at one end, and by pulling the bamboo handle, the flint could be frantically swirling inside, and it also brought a shower of sparks.

In addition, the flintlock equipment used in the artillery is also equipped with a component to facilitate fixing on the gun, and these craftsmen also made a suggestion to me to add a rain cover to the flintlock device of the artillery, so that the gun will hardly be affected in any rainy day.

------------------------------------------------ after testing, I'm 100% sure that these things meet my requirements, well, quite excited, this time, I believe Uncle Li and those veteran ruffians are not happy to go crazy.

Well, with all these things, my only hope is: rain, a hearty downpour. What I needed was a final shock, hoping to impress them, not wasting the spittle in my mouth to convince them that it could be used in harsh environments.

Back in Weinan, I was going to find Old Man Zhao and them, Li Zhi happened to have just finished taking a bath from the hot springs and was slowly riding on horseback humming a strange tune of "up flushing, down washing, left rubbing, right rubbing ......" Well, I almost fell off the horse when I heard this guy since the last time I went to the hot springs with me, after hearing my boring humming, he insisted on learning to play, and this son had no choice but to teach this very characteristic "Bathing Song" to Li Zhi, an outsider.

Before, this song was sung to my children and mothers-in-law, well, Li Zhi, who was soaked in red light, stopped me halfway. "Brother Jun, why are you in such a hurry? What's so good? ”

"It's not your share in the good things, I was about to rush to find Old Man Zhao and them. If you're bored, you can go home and lie down as much as you want. I pulled out the horse's head and continued to hurry forward from the side, Li Zhi raised his whip and caught up: "Brother Jun, you are very anxious, Xiaozhi I have been lying in that hot spring for almost an hour today, and if I don't bend down alive, it will be okay." ”

"Holy! You guy, no wonder your whole body can be red like this, you, forget it, if you want to leave, go faster. I shook my head helplessly, and led the prince and his men on a galloping horse.

Well, in addition to the relevant personnel, or Uncle Li personally approved the Firearms Bureau, ordinary people are strictly forbidden to enter, Li Zhi is prince can also go in and slip, but this guy has long been obsessed with hot springs in Weinan, so he didn't have the time to watch what flint equipment test, he thinks that watching this thing is better than watching the artillery performance directly. There are dangerous goods everywhere, and I don't want the prince of the Tang Dynasty to become the first royal child to die in a military factory. So in the past two days, he has been wandering around in Weinan blindly.

"Brother Jun, why are you going to find Old Man Zhao?" Li Zhi still asked unwillingly. I glanced at him: "I'm not just looking for that old man Zhao, I'm also looking for a few other old farmers who also suffer from rheumatism, there is a very important thing......
