Chapter Eighty-Three: Looking for Trouble.

The firearms research and development room, which was set up by the Ministry of Industry and the elites of the War Bureau, led by Fan Guang, has not yet made a breakthrough, but the length of the handcuff has been shortened to less than 30 centimeters.

also made a new type of killing weapon such as the grenade that Chen Ying brought out last time, which can be regarded as fruitful.

The Firearms Research and Development Office is not a single room or a small building, but a complex of buildings that occupies a corner of the army.

To be honest, most of these rooms are not for people to live in, but for test preparation, after all, a steam engine in the palace can blow up the chamber, which is more common for firearms research and development.

No one has a problem with how much land they occupy, after all, no one wants an unstable bomb to appear around them.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Zhu Qizhen walked into the huge firearms research and development department, and Fan Guang, the director of the department, led his research and development staff to quickly kneel and bow to greet him.

"Okay, Fan Guang, in the future, there will be no emperor in the army, only generals, and I only need to salute when I see me." Zhu Qizhen pointed to the row of rooms in front of him that smelled of saltpeter, "That room has your latest firearms?" ”

After Fan Guang led his subordinates to thank Lord Longen, he stood up and walked half in front of Zhu Qizhen, half-arching to lead the way.

"Your Majesty, on the right hand side is our artillery section, on the left hand side is our artillery section, and further on, on the left hand side are the gunpowder section, and on the right side is the ammunition center.

Although our firearms R&D room has just started, it has already begun to take shape.

The current firecracker can already be less than nine inches in size, and you can't see it on your body at all! Fan Guang proudly led Zhu Qizhen into the Fire Gun Division.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen entered the door, a smell of saltpeter gunpowder far exceeded that outside the house, and he couldn't help but cover his nose.

"Wow! Why are you still shooting guns in the house when you make firearms? Zhu Qizhen frowned and looked at Fan Guang and asked.

Fan Guang smiled, "So that the emperor knows, the charge of the firearm is also guaranteed by power, this is not a change side test here, there is a shooting range inside, and the range can also be tested, and there is a water tank prepared, absolutely foolproof!" ”

Zhu Qizhen bowed his head lightly and came to the table that had been wiped clean, there were three firecrackers on it in a regular manner, one was an "old model" about forty centimeters long, and dozens of firecrackers were arranged next to it at a time, in addition to the body of the gun getting shorter and shorter, the workmanship was becoming more and more exquisite.

Zhu Qizhen picked up the last "new product" that was only twenty-five centimeters long, and held it in his hand as if it were nothing, and it already had a little indescribable look like the pistols of later generations: short!

He played with his hand and aimed the firearm at a distance, but there was not a single crosshair on the bare gun.

Zhu Qizhen closed one eye slightly, and aimed the fire gun at Fan Guang, "Why is there no thing to aim at?" ”

Fan Guang seemed to emphasize safety a lot, and subconsciously snatched the firearm from Zhu Qizhen's hand, and knelt on the ground with a cold sweat on his face after reflecting it.

"Ministers, ministers are used to it, these are all killing weapons, and it is strictly forbidden to point the muzzle of the gun at people, so I reflexively offended the emperor, please punish the emperor!" Fan Guang said with sweat on his head.

Zhu Qizhen also just reacted, and when he heard Fan Guang say this, he smiled and said, "That's how it should be, it's me."

I don't understand the rules, I almost broke the military law, Director Xie Fan will not be punished! ”

A charge of offending the Son of Heaven was brought over by Zhu Qizhen so lightly.

Although everyone didn't speak, they wrote down the good name of the emperor's corporal Lixian in their hearts, especially Fan Guang, who almost scared the urine out just now, and now he is still trembling when he walks.

"Fan Guang, why is there no crosshair on this handcuff? How do you aim without a crosshair? Zhu Qizhen repeated the question just now.

Fan Guang wiped his sweat and said: "The emperor said that the quasi-star minister doesn't know what it is!" Isn't that how this firebolt was made......"

"It is to add an iron frame in front to form a straight line between the human eye, the gun body and the target, which can predict the trajectory of the ammunition after it is discharged, and improve the hit and kill." Zhu Qizhen took the handcuff and kept gesturing on it.

The people in the firearms research and development department on the side couldn't stop nodding, and even some science maniacs jumped when they heard the rise, shouting that there was one, it looked like a child had been born......

"The emperor's words are like an empowerment, and the five bodies that are admired by the subordinates are thrown to the ground!" Fan Guang patted the horse and followed Zhu Qizhen.

After visiting the Fire Gun Family, Zhu Qizhen deliberately sighed in front of everyone.

Fan Guang looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was not very happy, and looked puzzled, why was he suddenly dissatisfied?

"But what the ministers did disappointed the emperor?" Fan Guang hurriedly asked.

Zhu Qizhen shook his head, "It's not that I'm disappointed, but I think it's too cumbersome for me to shoot with an arquebus, and if it rains, it will directly become a broken copper and iron, and it will have no effect." ”

Everyone lowered their heads when they heard this, they also knew that this arquebus was inconvenient, but the current arquebus was much more convenient than the original torch ignition, and they really tried their best.

"It's the incompetence of the ministers!" Fan Guang and the other craftsmen responded in frustration.

"I think it would be a good idea to use flint and a fire sickle to fire the fire, what do you think? I don't understand nonsense, and what I said is wrong makes everyone laugh. Zhu Qizhen pretended to be shy and smiled.

Craftsmen, look at me, I look at you, and after a few moments of silence, I went crazy and ran to my workbench.

"Flint! Who has flint! ”

"I have flint, who has a fire sickle?"

"Give me the flint!"

"Give me the fire sickle!"

……

Zhu Qizhen looked at this scene in amazement, he really wanted to come to the laboratory of the later generations, and the craftsmen in front of him were no longer the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, but scientists, or they were scientists at this time.

"The emperor gave them such a generous treatment for craftsmen, and no longer regarded them as just craftsmen, so they vowed to be loyal to the country and must let the Ming use the best firearms." Fan Guang said on the side, and even wiped the tears left on his face with his hand.

When Zhu Qizhen heard Fan Guang's words, he was also full of emotion for a while, he didn't expect that just giving such a little more respect could make people glow with such huge potential.

It's just that......

"I haven't said it yet, it's not the crosshairs and flint shots that you lack most."

Fan Guang looked at Zhu Qizhen in shock and asked, "Could it be that the emperor has a more powerful idea?" ”

"You need a foundry to standardize all your firearms and swords, and even smelt your own ore to ensure strength."

Zhu Qizhen threw out the king bomb, turned around and left, hiding his merits and fame......

"It turns out that the emperor is the most powerful craftsman in the Ming Dynasty......" Fan Guang looked at Zhu Qizhen's back and muttered to himself.

Quanzhou, Fujian

A street with a distinctly Muslim style is located in the center of Quanzhou City, and the street is bustling with traffic, and there are carts of seafood everywhere.

A big man in coarse cloth clothes squatted on the side of the road and nibbled on the steamed buns in his hand, and from time to time some people who looked like stewards passed by, and the big man would show a flattering smile and say: Uncle is not recruiting? I've got a lot of strength! Don't go, uncle, I'm cheap!

If it doesn't look like Jinyiwei, who else can Zhang Song be? He was facing one of the largest houses on the street.

Seeing that no one took him away, and the sky was gradually darkening, Zhang Song had to sit on the side of the road in disappointment, as if he didn't know where to go.

"Hey, who is that, don't squat here with me! You see, because you and I have no business in this mess! Behind Zhang Song, there was the voice of the stall owner blaming.

Zhang Song turned his head suddenly, his face full of anger and said, "Why are you so impersonal!" I came to you for your hard money, and I didn't delay your business, why can't I be here! ”

The shopkeeper was angry when he saw Zhang Song, although the difference in body shape was huge, but there was no fear on his face, "What, you want to find something?" ”

"I'm looking for something? I think you're looking for something! How do you bully a foreigner and bully an addiction? Zhang Song raised his eyebrows and said angrily.

The shopkeeper sneered, "Someone is making trouble here!" ”

After a shout, half the people on the street were attracted by Zhang Song and the others, and they both had a little white hat.

"What? More people bully less, isn't it? If you work as a coolie here, you will also be bullied, right? Not to be outdone, Zhang Song shouted, and after a short time, the Han people working in the distance also surrounded him.

"Bullying us outsiders again!"

"Don't be afraid, brother, we'll support you!"

The guard at the gate of the mansion looked at the crowd gathering more and more across the street not far away, and said to his companions with interest: "You watch, I'll go and see what's going on!" ”

The companion also showed a curious expression, "I also want to see the excitement." ”

"I'll go first, and you'll go when I get back!"

"Why, I'm going too!" The companion shouted and followed, and there was no one in front of the door of the big mansion behind him.

After the two left, Guo Mao glanced left and right, and then quickly entered the mansion, and the brocade guards behind him followed him.

Not long after Guo Mao entered, there were bursts of screams and shouts of gold and iron intersecting with swords in the courtyard.
