After the earth shook and the mountains shook, Li Zhen looked at Belin with palpitations.

It's horrible!

I think that at the beginning, I followed the emperor deep into the desert and fought the enemy behind Wara, but I didn't feel such a strong sense of oppression.

This kind of power is completely beyond the control of human beings, if it weren't for Belin's toughness and even the use of force to force the people to evacuate, I am afraid that the entire Mizhi County would have become a hell on earth.

"Young Master Pei, you have made a great contribution!"

Belin didn't see a trace of relief on her face, and sighed, "This is just the beginning!" ”

The disaster of ground movement is not only the destruction of houses, but also the series of consequences caused by ground movement.

Think about how terrible it is to think that the land that was once stable suddenly changed, the mountains and rivers were displaced, the groundwater was diverted, and the rivers burst their banks.

At this time, the Wuding River was flooded, and the county seat was already a country.

Even though the sergeants of the 3,000 battalion drove away like a vicious spirit, some people were still obsessed and insisted on staying at home, and at this time, I don't know if there are still lives.

There are also some villages that have not yet had time to evacuate due to time constraints, and I am afraid that they will also suffer heavy casualties.

Belin said with a cold face and a grim expression: "Three thousand battalions, follow me to the disaster relief!" ”

Li Zhen clenched her fists with both hands: "Take the order!" ”

…………

On the outskirts of Beijing, Xishan Wang Gong Factory.

Zhu Qizhen specially arranged for Yu Qian to go to disaster relief, and continued to devote himself to the cause of rejuvenating the country through science and technology.

After Li Shulin took charge of the Wang Gong Factory, he recruited a large number of craftsmen from the private sector and set up five special research groups, one group was mainly responsible for the improvement of the iron and steel smelting process, the second group was responsible for the forging and polishing of the firebolt accessories, the third group was responsible for the research and development of granular gunpowder, the fourth group was responsible for the casting of the Franc machine gun, and the fifth group was responsible for the improvement of the flowering shell.

When Zhu Qizhen walked into the workshop of the second group, he almost dropped his jaw when he saw the huge wooden shelves.

Is this TM a lathe?

Li Shulin saw that the emperor was so interested, so he introduced on the side: "This is a bed, and it must be upright before it can be used." If it has been skewed for a long time, it must be replaced. If you don't change it, it vibrates when you put it, and the gun is shaken after all, so it is not allowed. It must also be painted so that the rain does not seep into it. ”

Zhu Qizhen was shocked, it turned out that there were manual lathes in the Ming Dynasty!

He squatted down to take a closer look, the working principle is almost the same as that of modern lathes, and the drill also borrowed water power, I have to admire, the wisdom of the ancients is simply too powerful!

Li Shulin continued: "This drill bit is five inches long, the top one inch is slightly sharp, and the middle four inches must be evenly rounded and the size is average, and its barrel is only straight when it is washed. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and asked, "How is the effect?" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

The two walked out of the workshop and came to a room guarded by a special person, Li Shulin took out three new-style firecrackers and said, "Your Majesty, you see ......"

Zhu Qizhen picked up the first gun, which looked very similar to the fire gun, but the gun tube was much longer.

Li Shulin introduced on the side: "This gun is improved on the basis of the original fire gun, after the gun tube is extended, the effective range is significantly increased, but it is easy to blow up, so the requirements for refined iron smelting and forging are very high. ”

As he spoke, Li Shulin picked up the second gun again and said, "This one...... No, it should be called an arquebus, an arquebus device was added, and according to your drawings, the butt was installed, and the butt was used against the shoulder when shooting, and the shooting aiming was greatly improved, the disadvantage was that the powder magazine and the arquebus were exposed and easy to get wet, especially in rainy and snowy weather, the gunpowder would fail, so ......"

Li Shulin picked up the third gun, and in terms of appearance, it basically showed the rudiments of a modern rifle.

"This can be avoided by replacing the arquebus with flint firing, and can be used even in rainy or humid conditions, as long as it is properly maintained."

Zhu Qizhen picked up the gun and looked at it carefully, even as a modern person, this thing has only been seen in film and television dramas, and the real guy has not touched it yet.

At the beginning, the drawings were only drawn based on impressions, at most they were sketches, but I didn't expect Li Shulin to be so powerful, and he made it out in just two months.

"How powerful is it, why don't you test it?"

"No, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”

Li Shulin said with a wry smile: "The biggest problem is steel, Wechen has been conducting tests, but the current steel is not ideal in terms of toughness, strength, wear resistance and other properties." High strength, easy to explode. The toughness is strong, but the wear resistance is not enough. The gun in your hand can only be regarded as an ornament now, if you go to battle......"

Speaking of this, Li Shulin shook his head helplessly.

Zhu Qizhen was dissatisfied: "In this case, why don't you send more people to expand the experiment of smelting and forging technology?" ”

"No money, Your Majesty!" Li Shulin sighed, "Wechen has spent a lot of money and food on the development of new firearms, and now when I go to the household department, everyone avoids it......"

"How can it be!"

Zhu Qizhen slapped the gun on the table and said angrily: "Say, how much does it cost?" ”

"Wechen...... We-Chen......"

Li Shulin was quite surprised, hurriedly estimated it, and said, "It will take about five thousand taels ......."

"What? Five thousand taels? ”

Zhu Qizhen frowned and stared at Li Shulin tightly.

"Three...... Three thousand taels is fine......"

"Three thousand?"

"Two thousand, just two thousand! Your Majesty, you really can't be less! ”

Zhu Qizhen stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Li Shulin.

"Five hundred? That...... Oh well......"

Li Shulin couldn't cry or laugh, five hundred taels ...... Alas, it's better than nothing......

"Fifty thousand taels!"

Zhu Qizhen slapped the table heavily and said, "I will allocate 50,000 yuan to you first, and now I will send someone to the household department to receive the silver!" ”

Just kidding, am I a bad guy?

In Wang Zhen's case, more than 30 million taels were copied in cash alone, as well as Cao Jixiang's rebellion case, Kang Neng's murder of good and meritorious service, and the Jin merchant thief case.

Isn't it money?

Just open your mouth as much as you want!

Li Shulin was stunned, and knelt down with a pop.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "The silver is not enough to go directly to the household department to receive it, I only have one request, the result must be produced before the end of the year, regardless of the cost, as long as the result, understand?" ”

"Wechen understands!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "How is the development of the Furlong machine gun?" ”

"Back to the emperor, there are two main technical difficulties of the Franc cannon, one is the airtightness of the gun chamber, and the second is the problem of steel performance just mentioned......"

Li Shulin suddenly thought of a question, and hurriedly said: "By the way, the emperor, when Weichen was improving the flowering bomb, he developed a new gadget, which is extremely powerful. ”

"Let's go, let's see!"

Zhu Qizhen came to the artillery test site with great interest, looked at the black iron lump the size of a watermelon in front of him, and suddenly fell into deep thought.

"This is what you're talking about?"

"Not bad!"

Li Shulin introduced with great interest: "Once Pingxiang Bolai gunpowder workshop, said that the current cement production can not keep up with the supply, asked Wechen if he could increase the experimental amount of artillery, help him open the mountain quarry, so Wechen had a whim, made a few extra-large flowering bombs, did not expect the power to be huge, so Wechen thought that if it can be buried in the place in advance of the only way, the effect can be imagined, but how to detonate, there is no good solution. ”

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, isn't this just a landmine?

However, the principle of artillery and rifles is still somewhat known, and how the mine detonates when stepped on......
