Chapter Fifty-Three: All-out Research and Development of the Bird's Gun
As for the matter of the Firearms Bureau, King's Landing has been thinking about it for a long time.
The duel between hot weapons and cold weapons, you don't need to say much to think about it to know the results.
But at present, the 3,000 Shenji Battalion has become a chicken-like existence, no need to use it, it is also a 3,000 firearms army, it can be used, the cost is high, the combat effectiveness is not very large, and it is even more heart-wrenching if there is a loss.
Because of this, many teams in the army are not satisfied with the Shenji Battalion.
It is not very lethal, and it costs a lot of money to raise it, which is really a waste of resources and has been criticized.
And the reason for all this criticism is because the fire gun is a little powerful but not much.
How could the old emperor not know all this, but how could he easily change it, if the firearms army can achieve strong lethality, there will be an invincible and invincible army in the great cadres!
There is a cloud in "Heavenly Creation": "Where the hammer bird is a gun, first use an iron as big as a chopstick as the cold bone, and wrap it in a red iron hammer." The first is three connections, the interface is red, and it is trying its best to collide. After the combination, the quadrangular steel cone is used as a big one, and it is rotated through it to make the aurora clean, and there is no blockage in the medicine. ”
After a little reflection, King's Landing drew a rough print of the bird's gun.
According to the development of firearms in the previous life, the Ming Dynasty introduced firearms, and then there were bird-shots, three-eyed guns and other firearms production methods.
Useful, but not much!
"Go, call Niu Youan from the Artifacts Bureau to the Palace, and ask him to bring a few skilled craftsmen to the Firearms Bureau."
King's Landing Heaven casually ordered to go out, and then he went to the Firearms Bureau again with the drawings.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
“……”
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Firearms Bureau, King's Landing saw Niu Youdan, Director of the Bureau of Artifacts, Liang Xiaoer, Director of the Firearms Bureau, and others standing and waiting for the new version of the Firearms Blueprint of King's Landing.
"You're very well-informed, so get up. Niu Youdan, Liang Xiaoer, you quickly gather the most experienced craftsmen on both sides to study this new type of firecracker together, and see if you can achieve mass production with your current ability! ”
When the two heard this, they didn't say much, and summoned several craftsmen to study the drawing.
As soon as the drawings were opened, Liang Xiaoer, Niu Youdan and others were immediately stunned, and they couldn't take their eyes off anymore.
They are all old craftsmen, and the King's Landing drawings are clearly drawn, and the marks are also very clear. The firecracker on the drawing is very different from today's firecracker.
Illuminating the door, shining the star, the plutonium, the machine, rifling, etc., are clearly marked.
What shocked everyone even more was that this new type of firearm actually got rid of two people to operate and fire, and even one person and two guns to operate and fire, doubling the firepower.
"Your Highness, you are really talented, this fire gun is really exquisite!"
Niu Youdan and the two looked at each other, shocked, and praised together.
It's a two-person wield!
Today's firecrackers are fired by two people at the same time. One aiming, one ignition. Not only is the operation troublesome, the launch efficiency is low, and even the hit rate is extremely touching!
But now the new type of fire gun painted by the prince is not right, according to the name also marked by the prince, it should be a bird gun.
This bird can be launched with one gun, and it has objects such as the door as aiming, and the hit is even more upgraded by several steps. At first, they wondered what these bumps were going to do, but when they saw the text labeling, they were shocked.
If this bird gun is mass-produced, the manufacture of firearms in Daqian will enter a new cross-era progress.
Liang Xiaoer's expression was excited, his eyes were full of adoration, and his gaze towards King's Landing had already become sacred.
How could he not be excited.
Not to mention that the Artifact Bureau was commissioned by the prince's various inventions before, the activity funds have risen, the wages of craftsmen have risen, and the reputation has also risen.
But their Firearms Bureau is still criticized, and even the general of the Shenji Battalion has not lost his eyes on the Firearms Bureau.
Now, as long as this bird gun is handed over to their artifact bureau to be manufactured, they will be able to erase all these criticisms with a shame.
"Your Highness, this bird gun is still produced by my artifact bureau!"
Niu Youdan, director of the Bureau of Artifacts, rolled his eyes, looked at Liang Xiaoer's excited appearance, and a bad idea flashed in his mind in an instant.
When Jun Lintian heard the voice, before he could speak, Liang Xiaoer was anxious!
Like a fox whose tail has been stepped on, he suddenly screamed in surprise.
"The cow has eggs, you fart! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to my Firearms Bureau, and you still want to bring the drawings to the Artifacts Bureau to make them? When it comes to firearms, which craftsman can compare to the craftsman of my firearms bureau, don't rob me of the firearms bureau! ”
After speaking, his anger dissipated instantly, and he looked at King Lintian flatteringly and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, tell me, this utensils bureau has Tiangong coal and other things, and now the iron ingots and other things of my Firearms Bureau still have to buy new iron from the Artifacts Bureau, and this bird gun should stay in my Firearms Bureau!" ”
Jun Lintian glanced at Niu Youdan, who was holding back a smile next to him, and pretended to hesitate: "Liang Xiaoer, your Firearms Bureau has been researching and manufacturing firearms for many years, and you have not seen any new progress, how can this make this palace believe in your Firearms Bureau's manufacturing and research and development capabilities?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Niu Youdan's face disappeared instantly.
As an old craftsman of the Artifacts Bureau, he didn't say that he was deliberately teasing just now, he didn't want to compete with Liang Xiaoer for the R&D and manufacturing rights of this bird, he just wanted to see the original proud Director Liang out of trouble.
"Your Highness, little old man was just joking. In terms of familiarity with the research and development of firearms, Xia Guan dared to guarantee that there was no one in the entire Daqian who was more familiar with them than Lord Liang. The little old man can't compete with the brothers of the Firearms Bureau, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Prince! ”
As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.
"Old man, you..."
Liang Xiaoer really didn't expect that Niu Youdan would help him speak, you must know that the two bureaus of the Ministry of Industry, although they are brother departments with each other, they are also competitive.
Before, because of the superiority of firearms, they have always been in a superior position, and they have not felt inferior to the craftsmen of the Artifacts Bureau.
"It's all made for His Highness, and it's all made for Daqian. There is a specialization in the art industry, and there is a line to be a man! ”
The old man rubbed his mustache he had just left, and happily dragged two sentences.
"Your Highness, what do you see?"
Hearing this, Liang Xiaoer thanked him, and then turned his gaze to King's Landing, looking forward to it.
"Director Niu is so thoughtful, good pattern."
Jun Lintian also smiled happily, "The Firearms Bureau has been studying firearms for many years, and this bird gun is easy to come by, and this palace believes in your ability." Make the finished product as soon as possible, only the finished product you have the right to speak! ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was satisfied.
"Hurry up, tell me to go down, all the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau will stop their work and make every effort to develop and produce bird guns."
As Liang Xiaoer spoke, the entire Firearms Bureau was in full swing.
"Did the prince really develop a new type of firecracker?"
At this moment, a rough voice suddenly came from the door, and then a burly general in red armor appeared in everyone's field of vision.
