"There are also several parts that are also made of wood, and they won't be used a few times."

"It can be seen that Mr. Qin is not very powerful. He couldn't even think of such a simple question. ”

"The conditions in Lujia Village are so simple that there is no iron at all, so we can only use wood instead." Zhu Biao explained to the ministers, "So this magic machine gun made by Mr. Qin is just a sample, and we can completely improve the production process on the basis of this gun." ”

"Besides, Mr. Qin made this gun originally to facilitate the villagers to hunt, and he never thought of using it on the battlefield."

"It's us, and we're going to use it in the war."

"If the Divine Machine Gun causes too much murder in the future, it has nothing to do with Mr. Qin."

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said, looking at everyone, "You have all the conditions outside, why haven't you made such a powerful gun?" Skilled craftsmen can't improve it for hundreds of years, it doesn't mean that Mr. Qin can't do it. ”

"Mr. Qin is the artifact of the Great Ming!" This is the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang praised Qin Yu so much in front of his ministers, "You all hate him, we all know this in our hearts, but don't slander him for any reason." ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately shut up.

"Biao'er, why is this magic machine gun so powerful?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, "I'm afraid I can't do this just by improving its ignition device." ”

"Father." Zhu Biao said, "It involves secrets, and it is inconvenient for Erchen to talk about it for the time being." ”

"Yes, this is the secret of my Ming country." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You all step down, and Anren, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stays." ”

The crowd listened and left one after another, leaving only Shan Anren.

"Biao'er, what did Mr. Qin do to make the firearms so powerful, and the secrets in it, now you can say." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Large-scale firearms and gunpowder are all in the management of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Works' Shangshu Shan Anren must know the secrets in order to do it, so he can't avoid him.

"The reason why the Divine Machine Gun is ten times more powerful than before is that Mr. Qin has enhanced the power of black powder." Zhu Biaodao, "To increase the power of gunpowder, one is the proportion of sulfur saltpeter charcoal, and the other is granularization. ”

"What is the specific proportion, and how to achieve granularity, Erchen has been written on paper." Zhu Biao said, handing the two materials to the two.

When the two of them saw the contents of the paper, they were extremely shocked.

"Just by simply changing the ratio of saltpeter charcoal and sulfur, and granularization, you can turn decay into magic, and the power is ten times that of before, it's really unbelievable!" Shan Anren said excitedly.

"Erchen also thought like this at the beginning, but these two changes of Mr. Qin have indeed greatly strengthened the power of gunpowder." Zhu Biao said, "And everyone has seen the test results just now." ”

"Not bad! Not bad! Zhu Yuanzhang said again and again, "The improvement of these two technologies does not require much manpower and material resources at all. A small change can make me have such a powerful firearm, which is really a thousand pounds. ”

"That Mr. Qin, it's really amazing!" Shan Anren sighed.

"Mr. Qin's original intention was just to facilitate hunters to hunt, if he was asked to specialize in developing firearms, I am afraid that he would be able to create something more powerful." Zhu Biaodao.

"Not bad, not bad." The two agreed.

"The method of improving gunpowder and the ignition device, both of which are to be classified as state secrets." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I can only let a few people know, and I can't let the Fanbang barbarians learn at will." ”

"The minister knows." Shan Anren said, "The ministers will let the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau secretly make them in secret places, and they are not allowed to go out. Meetings with family members should also be strictly controlled, and no one will be allowed to leak them. ”

"Uh-huh."

"The conditions in Lujia Village, where Mr. Qin is located, are too simple, so many of the parts on this magic machine gun are replaced by wood." Zhu Yuanzhang handed the wooden divine machine gun to Shan Anren and said, "Come and see, what needs to be changed." ”

Shan Anren took the improved firecracker, studied it carefully, and constantly checked each part.

It didn't take long to say: "The copper pipe used in the fire gun is the former element, and the iron pipe produced by the current production can be switched, which will further reduce the risk of exploding." ”

"Secondly, the handle of the gun can be retained with a wooden handle. Because such a long firearm would be too heavy if all iron were used, it would be inconvenient for the soldiers to use it. However, locust wood can be changed to a harder birch. ”

"Again, the minister saw that the butt of the gun was on the shoulder when the prince shot just now, so he could polish the butt more smoothly, so as not to be uncomfortable for a long time."

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "These two changes are very good! Once a firearm is equipped, it is used by soldiers for a long time. Therefore, the production of the god machine gun should be convenient and comfortable for the sergeant to use. ”

"Therefore, the minister suggested that a belt should also be installed, so that the soldiers can hang it on their bodies and carry it on long marches." Shan Anren said.

And to add a belt? Well, yes, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Since there are so many changes, let's change them a little more perfectly." The birch is soaked in oil and then smoothed to brown. ”

"The magic machine gun made by our Daming must not only have strong firepower, but also be beautiful, so as to show the demeanor of my Daming. Daming's Shenji Battalion will be the most elite team in the world. ”

"Yes, that's exactly how it should be." Shan Anren also agreed, "As for the launcher, there are too many things that need to be changed. ”

"There's no way, Mr. Qin's conditions are too simple." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "You go on." ”

"For example, a device inlaid with flint......"

"This part is called the hammer, this is called the anvil, this is called the medicine pool, the anvil is yellow, and the bullet is yellow......" Zhu Biao interrupted him and told the two of them the names of each part.

"The hammer had to be made of iron, otherwise it wouldn't be long before it broke." Shan Anren continued, "The original use of Danhuang is very thin wire, which can be changed to thicker, so that the elasticity will be greater...... There are also anvil yellow, flint, all of which can be used with better materials. In this way, a simple shotgun will be transformed into a powerful and beautiful machine gun. ”

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Just improve according to what you said." ”

"After you go back, immediately find the skilled craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau and improve them according to what you said. And make a sample for us to see. If you don't have any major problems during the test launch, immediately ramp up production. ”

"In the first batch, 3,000 such machine guns will be produced and assembled in the firearms battalion of Jingwei, and the original firearms battalion will be renamed the Shenji battalion." Zhu Yuanzhang said domineeringly.

"Minister, obey the order." Shan Anren said.
