"Bunny, your father is here!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Zhu Qiyu walked into the Wenhua Palace, looked at his son with a gloomy face, and then saw the senior generals of the Jinyi Guard and Wang Yue, the commander of the young army, who knelt on the ground with a panicked expression, and Wang Yue, the commander of the young army, and others, Zhu Qiyu's heart tightened.

The atmosphere is not right.

What's wrong?

Hey~

Since it is a major event, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, the division of labor between our father and son is to be the father of trivial political affairs, and it is related to foreign strategy, national reform policy, and to be the son.

So Zhu Qiyu turned around and left, "Oh, I forgot something, and I haven't gone to say hello to the queen mother."

Slipped away......

The generals of the Jinyi Guards secretly pierced their hearts, and Your Majesty will intercede with us.

Zhu saw that Jili ignored Zhu Qiyu, who came and went like the wind, and looked at the two brothers, Zhuang Zheng and Zhuang Bei: "How did Gu tell you at the beginning, and how did you do it!"

The two brothers were frightened and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Highness is angry."

Zhu Jianji was speechless.

There was a young army guard outside the Donggong Military Research Institute, and the Military Research Institute sent a brocade guard to lurk, but the result was so strict that there were still workers on the Dongfeng rifle production line who died.

It's about a violent death, but everyone knows it.

Same as Gasol.

It's all been wiped out!

Who is plagiarizing Daming's firearms technology?

Zhu Jianji couldn't find the object of suspicion for a while.

Shi Xin and Hang Min hurriedly came, and after saluting, Shi Xin said, "Your Highness, the few craftsmen who died are all workers in the core technology of the production line, and the technical and theoretical knowledge mastered by these craftsmen happens to be a complete set of Dongfeng Rifle production processes."

Zhu Jianji's face was gloomy, "Lone knows!"

Shi Xin hurriedly looked at Hang Min for help.

Hang Min coughed, "Your Highness, in fact, there is no need to worry, Weichen thought about it on the way here, there are not many forces that have the ability to do such detailed espionage in my Ming Jinggi, either the Mongolian tribes, or the Jurchens in the north, or Annam, or even Japan, but no matter which force, they have plagiarized the production process of Dongfeng rifles, which is not necessarily a good thing."

Zhu Jianji: "???"

Are you kidding me?

In a fit of rage, he didn't care that Hang Min was uncle, and said coldly, "What you said is light!"

Lao Tzu traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and finally used his weak knowledge of firearms to create the Migne-style rifle with the concerted efforts of all the talents of the Military Research Institute, which made the Ming Dynasty walk in the forefront of the firearms era.

As a result, it was only a few years before the technology was stolen.

In this way, how can Daming maintain its leading position in the world.

And whoever stole the production technology of this Minne rifle may spread to Europe, and with the European obsession with firearms, it is difficult to lead the East again.

Then China will not be able to enjoy the dividends of the Age of Sail again!

This is what Zhu Jianji is worried about.

Although Hang Min was reprimanded by the prince, he knew that it was the prince's gaffe under his anger, and he was not dissatisfied with his uncle, nor was he in a hurry, and said: "Your Highness, the dead craftsmen are all on the old production line, in fact, since His Royal Highness returned from an expedition to Taiwan, he pointed out the problem of the scrapping rate of the Dongfeng rifle. Thinking about it from another angle, if Mobei, Jurchen, Annam and Japan stole technology, but their steelmaking process could not meet the demand, even if they forcibly produced Dongfeng rifles on a large scale, only to find that more than half of them were scrapped after several wars, then do these foreign countries have the national strength to bear this loss?"

After a pause, "Assuming that the Mobei Mongol tribes or the Jurchens stole the technology, then they want to produce Dongfeng rifles, do they have enough steel?" What if there is no steel? Will they make a desperate effort to melt down all their swords and build the Dongfeng Rifle, only to be scrapped on a large scale as soon as they enter the battlefield, so what combat power is there?"

He laughed, "Wechen even thinks it's a good thing

。」

It's the equivalent of digging a pit for people to jump into.

Zhu Jianji was stunned.

What Hang Min said seems to have some sense...... Now I can only comfort myself like this.

Take a few deep breaths to stabilize your emotions, "Anyway, the new Dongfeng rifle must be mounted as soon as possible, and all the 20,000 Donggong young troops must be reequipped."

But it's still not insured.

Zhu Jianji thought for a moment, "In order to reduce the risk of defeat in the war, the light machine gun project of the Donggong Military Research Institute must increase efforts to solve the problems that arise, and I hope that after the light machine gun is installed again, there will not be so many problems!"

Shi Xin said: "Your Highness, the problem of the light machine gun has been solved and can be re-launched, and the heavy machine gun has also achieved some results."

After a pause, "There is also good news, the research and development of firepower heavy artillery has made great progress, firepower heavy artillery has not been produced, is limited by the steel process, the steelmaking plant has been fully developed in the past six months, especially the steel needed by Dengzhou shipyard, which has greatly promoted the development of steelmaking technology."

Zhu Jianji hummed.

That's where it is.

The steel required by large ships is only the technology of the curvature of the steel plate of the hull, and the current process is difficult to solve.

Not up to the standard for sailing out to sea.

It's been demolished.

Because the core problem has not yet been solved: welding and the curvature of the steel plate.

The curvature of the steel plate requires the continuous progress of the steelmaking process.

Welding and not to mention electric welding or argon arc welding, even if it is the simplest electric welding, the coating required by the welding rod is currently supported by chemical technology to produce, so Dengzhou Shipyard wasted a lot of money.

He is still Meng Lang.

The chemical industry must be lifted up as soon as possible.

According to the situation of the times and the level of the country's industry, the right path is to get firepower, heavy artillery and the king of land warfare.

It is also easier to produce results than steel battleships.

However, at the moment, to solve the matter of the theft of Dongfeng rifle technology, he said to Liu Jing: "Jinyiwei must mobilize all the fine works, and at all costs, be sure to find out if anyone in the neighboring country is ready to produce Dongfeng rifles!"

No matter who it is, as long as someone produces the Dongfeng rifle, it is the next enemy of the Ming Dynasty!

It must not be allowed to have opportunities and space for development.

Liu Jing immediately received the order.

Zhu Jianji continued to order, "Over there in the East Palace Military Research Institute, the dead craftsmen, Jinyiwei and Youjun have strengthened the protection of the Military Research Institute, if such a thing happens again, Liu Jing and Wang Yue, you two come to see Gu!"

Liu Jing and Wang Yue hurriedly received the order.

Zhu Jianji said to everyone, "Stand down."

After everyone retired, Zhu Jianji said to Dai Yi: "Send someone to Xuan Yukang, and in addition, Xuan Lu Chunjing, Zhao Chuanjia and Zhu Bidong Palace will meet you."

The chemical industry is on the ground as soon as possible.

The power system should also be stepped upon.

Whether it is the king of land warfare or a steel battleship, welding technology is indispensable, and with the current industrial level of the Ming Dynasty, you can only fight electric welding, argon arc welding or something, don't think about it, it's impossible.

The good news is that Daming's steelmaking industry has made great progress in recent years.

Solve the welding problem, and the king of land warfare will be able to produce.

Only by solving the problem of the curvature of the steel plate can it be possible to mass-produce steel battleships.

Well, there's a premise.

Steam engines have to be built so that these steel behemoths can roam the world.
