Jérôme. Bonaparte relied on the advantage that he was the only time-traveler in this time and space, and that he was well versed in the future development trend of warfare, and reorganized the rifle research institute.

The Mauser family (main member Paul. Mauser, William. Mauser), let's call it the Obendorn faction, continued to work on bolt-action rifles (Jérôme. Bonaparte set the direction of research for repeating bolt-action breech guns) with metal fixed ammunition.

Take Alfonso. The localist faction led by Xia Saibo changed their research topics and went all out to develop multi-barreled rapid-fire weapons.

There are good and bad things about grouping in this way, and the advantage is that it is conducive to cultivating a sense of competition between groups and speeding up the process of research. The disadvantage is also related to competition, if the two groups have too strong a sense of competition, it is easy to stimulate the contradiction between the two parties, thus slowing down the progress of the research.

Hence Jérôme. Bonaparte also deliberately set a red line to allow healthy competition between the two groups. If there was anyone who dared to make a stumbling block, it would be Jérôme. Bonaparte asked him to sit down at the Hotel Occidental Library, which was subordinate to the Maintenance Command (during the construction of the Aircraft Headquarters, the Continental Coolhouse Hotel was also introduced to France).

Jérôme. Bonaparte's unwavering face, combined with his cold words, sounded a wake-up call in the hearts of the staff of the institute that no one dared to disobey a monarch with a heavenly constitution in his mouth.

"Please rest assured, I will strictly supervise them and prevent them from doing something out of the ordinary!" Anderson. Mauser to Jérôme. Bonaparte assured.

"That's good!" Jérôme. Bonaparte nodded to Anderson. "I don't want any of you to get into a little bit of friction and affect the progress of the whole team!" Mauser said. ”

Subsequently, Jérôme. Once again, Bonaparte encouraged all those in the institute and assured them that everything they had done would be rewarded handsomely.

In Anderson. Mauser accompanied by Jérôme. Bonaparte left the Institute.

Although it was already winter season, the weather was unusually hot, and the sun at three o'clock in the middle of noon shone through the thin, continuous light white clouds on the earth. Bonaparte and Anderson. The Mauser and his wife walked on the concrete road under the scorching sun, and their coats that had been protected from the cold had now become "perspirants", and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans slipped from their temples all the way to their cheeks, and their cheeks and ears were covered with a layer of crimson under the sun.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Anderson. Mauser walked along the concrete pavement until he reached a crossing. Bonaparte stopped at Anderson. Mauser said, "Just send it here!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! "Anderson. Mauser to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed slightly, then turned to leave.

Jérôme. Bonaparte stood alone at the crossroads, as if waiting for someone, and after ten minutes was located in Jérôme. On the road to Bonaparte's left, the man he was waiting for appeared - Basilio.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late!" Basilio for his tardiness while to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed and apologized.

"Nothing!" Jérôme. Bonaparte smiled and replied lightly: "Everyone will be entangled in all kinds of trivial matters and thus miss the appointment. By the way, where is Professor Wu Ci's laboratory? I didn't see Wu Ci's lab all the way! ”

"Your Majesty, please follow me!" Basilio immediately sent a letter to Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

Basilio and Jérôme. Bonaparte set out westward, then moved north at the second crossing, and soon came to a house.

It is a small two-storey villa located in a separate residence in the northwest of the Northern Industrial Park, away from the staff housing area.

And the owner of this villa is none other than Professor Wu Ci, who discovered methylamine.

Right here in Jérôme. Bonaparte and Basilio were about to step through the doors of the villa when a deafening explosion was heard from inside the villa.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Basilio's faces changed instantly, and Basilio immediately sent Jérôme. Behind Bonaparte's guards.

"Quick! Go in and save people! "Jérôme. Seeing this, Bonaparte pushed Basilio aside and ran straight towards the villa.

No one knew better than him what the explosion meant.

See Jérôme. Bonaparte put down his daughter and entered the villa, and Basilio could only follow Jérôme. Bonaparte entered the villa together.

When Jérôme. As Bonaparte and Basilio stepped up the stairs leading to the second floor, a choking breath from the explosion of gunpowder wafted from the second floor to the first floor.

Jérôme. Seeing this, Bonaparte and Basilio immediately ran up, and soon arrived at the laboratory corridor, where the two men immediately saw black smoke floating from the laboratory.

Gu Xiao / SPAN "Hurry! "Jérôme. Bonaparte ran into the laboratory.

At this time, the laboratory was in shambles, and the smell of gunpowder and burnt feathers filled the laboratory.

Dr. Wu Ci in the lab was scrambling his clothes in an attempt to extinguish the flames of the new explosion.

Jérôme. Seeing this, Bonaparte and Basilio also took off their clothes to help Dr. Wu Ci extinguish the flames.

After 5 minutes of "tossing", the three of them finally completely extinguished the flames.

It's just that the faces of the three people are inevitably blackened by the smoke.

The trio, who had completely extinguished the fire, sat on the ground without a figure, panting for breath, and after a while, Jérôme. Only then did Bonaparte care about Professor Wu Ci's physical condition, he turned his head and asked with a concerned face, "Professor Wu Ci, are you okay?" The explosion didn't hurt you! ”

"God willing! I'm fine! Wu Ci leaned his body back facing the sky, his hands supporting the ground behind him and panting, while facing Jerome. Bonaparte responded.

"It's okay! It's okay! "Seeing that Professor Wu Ci is fine, Jérôme. Bonaparte breathed a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, the three of them stood up again, looking at the laboratory full of sores in front of them, Wu Ci shook his head with palpitations and said, "Alas! I still underestimate the instability and power of nitrocellulose! ”

"There are two sides to everything! Nitrocellulose is like an untamed beast, and the slightest mistake can cause great harm to those who study it! "Jérôme. Bonaparte also said with emotion, and then changed his words: "But the more vicious this beast is, the more it proves its own value!" I believe that as long as we can tame this mad beast, then we will usher in a new era! ”

"yes!" Dr. Wu Ci wiped the sweat stains on his forehead with his hand, and said in an excited tone: "If we can use this energy, which is more powerful than black powder, to open up mountains and split roads on buildings, we will definitely be able to achieve half the result." ”

"That's right!" Jérôme. Bonaparte chimed in.

However, Jérôme. Bonaparte did not have the same idea of contributing to architecture as Dr. Wu Ci, and he was willing to work on nitrocellulose for one purpose, that is, to find smokeless gunpowder in the shortest possible time, even at the cost of some people's lives.

The change from paper shell to metal is a project of accumulation of quantitative changes, and the change from black powder to smokeless gunpowder is also the result of qualitative changes.

In the original time and space, the Makqin heavy machine gun, which was originally called chicken ribs, immediately became the darling of the times after the invention of smokeless gunpowder, and later became the famous widow maker in the First World War.

It can be said that smokeless gunpowder created a large number of weapons such as Makqin, making the war an assembly-line massacre when the national strength of the two sides was equal.

"Your Majesty, is it true that you ordered me to study nitrocellulose for the benefit of all of France, not for the purpose of making it serve the war?" Right here in Jérôme. While Bonaparte pondered the use of smokeless gunpowder in warfare, the voice of Vuci reached Jérôme. Bonaparte's ear will be Jérôme. Bonaparte pulled back to reality.

Looking at the man in front of him who was about the same age as him (Wu Ci was 36 years old, Jérôme. Bonaparte 31 years old) asked with a serious face, Jérôme. Bonaparte touched his nose and fell silent, he didn't want to deceive Wu Ci, but he also couldn't say that nitrocellulose was for war.

The silence is enough to represent Jérôme. Bonaparte's attitude.

Indeed, Jérôme. Bonaparte's silence already represented acquiescence in Dr. Wu Ci's eyes.

"Your Majesty, I'm glad you were able to tell me this honestly! If my invention can save the death of French soldiers and prevent my country from being invaded by the Tsar, then I am willing to do everything I can to develop it! "From the perspective of a simple patriot, Professor Wu Ci is very interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte responded.

"Professor Wu Ci, nitrocellulose is like a sharp blade, you can use it for self-defense, and you can also use it to kill people! A knife is a knife, there is no justice or evil, the point is what kind of mentality the knife bearer uses to use the knife! I am a patriot like you, and my dream is to make France great again! Let every Frenchman involuntarily puff up his chest when he says "I am French"!

From 1815 to the present, we have lost so much of what we have lost, the dignity of the nation, the dignity of the state, and the glory of the army! I must do everything in my power to get back all that France has lost!

I want my soldiers to be able to sacrifice their country with more powerful weapons, rather than having to charge at the risk of bullets. "Jérôme. Bonaparte did not deny in the slightest his "simple" values as an imperialist, while appealing to national enthusiasm for Vuci.
