However, Sun Yuanhua did not make a mistake in saying some things.

Although he couldn't say that ten percent of his flattery to Zhu Youxiao was sincere, eight or ninety percent of them were still there.

Because for the reason why the arsenal has today's scale and output, the improvement of Zhu Youxiao's system is indeed crucial.

After all, the truth of history proves that piecework is still more conducive to the oppression of workers by capitalists than timekeeping.

Subsequently, Zhu Youxiao went to inspect the artillery factory again.

The officials brought by Zhu Youxiao were all hardcore eunuch ministers.

Some of them have been to the Arsenal, but some have not been to the Arsenal.

The eunuch officials who had been to the arsenal were still able to keep their composure.

And those eunuch ministers who had never been to the arsenal were now pointing around the forty-eight Golden Guns of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

There was an excited expression on their faces, and they had a sense of immediacy as a dirt bun entering the city.

This is also deliberately done by Zhu Youxiao, and the strong force can obviously consolidate the loyalty of his subordinates to the emperor.

This is a tall heavy artillery will obviously cause a great visual impact on these, eunuch officials who have never seen such a powerful military heavy weapon.

This is probably based on the sentence that Zhang Liang said when he built the palace for Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, "If it is not magnificent, it is not mighty!" "It's the same thing!

Zhu Youxiao also smiled when he saw that these eunuch ministers under him were so excited, and the officials were so excited, and he also knew a lot about the nature of these officials.

"Sun Shilang, I'm here anyway, so let's have a shot!"

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, of course, he also had the idea of showing his hand in front of these new eunuch ministers, and he enthusiastically found the gunners in the arsenal and transported a box of ammunition.

These were used as artillerymen, and they were very neatly opened from the rear of the cannon, and then a cylindrical cannonball was stuffed in, and then a packet of propellants wrapped in silk was stuffed in.

** Close the bolt, pull the rope, the propellant inside ignited, "boom", the cylindrical shell was fired.

Then, in the distance, in the lime-painted range, a cannonball fell directly down, and with a "boom", a small mushroom cloud rose from the range.

Every new eunuch minister was quite shocked when he saw this scene.

Some of them have actually seen artillery firing, but they are far from expecting that one day the power of artillery will be able to be exerted to such an extent.

Even Sun Yuanhua's eyes were full of reverence when he looked at Zhu Youxiao.

If it weren't for the guidance given by Zhu Youxiao, they would not have been able to develop such a powerful artillery.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao looked at this kind of Apocalypse Emperor's golden gun, and there was still a little disappointment in his eyes.

Now this artillery looks very powerful, but in fact he is still not satisfied.

Because this kind of golden gun of the Emperor of the Apocalypse cast from pig iron does not fall down, in fact, it still has many, many shortcomings.

First of all, the strength of the barrel of the Emperor of the Apocalypse's golden gun is not enough.

Therefore, this kind of Apocalypse Emperor's golden gun has not fallen until now, and it can only use ordinary maroon gunpowder, and there is no way to use the nitrified gunpowder they newly developed.

In order to achieve enough strength to prevent the cannon from exploding, they were able to thicken the barrel.

Gu Xun

In this case, this significantly increases the weight of these barrels.

In front of him, the Emperor of the Apocalypse Golden Gun does not fail to fail, and whenever it moves, it requires three strong oxen, plus nearly ten soldiers to boost it behind, so that it can move quickly.

And this so-called fast movement is only equivalent to the army of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, Zhu Youxiao still seems to be very slow.

And Zhu Youxiao wanted to improve this artillery. Then you need steel that is stronger than that.

Zhu Youxiao is not without such a method, but this is not cost-effective for him.

If the course of history is followed, in July and August this year, Jiannu will launch an attack on the Chahar Division.

He had to forge enough artillery by July and August.

That's the trick that really allowed him to win this war.

Sun Yuanhua They are very experienced in casting Hongyi cannons, and this kind of cannon body manufacturing method of the Emperor of the Apocalypse Golden Gun does not fall down is actually the cannon body casting method of Hongyi cannon.

That is to say, the current arsenal, if you want to make this kind of Apocalypse Emperor Golden Gun Cannon, it can be said that there is no technical difficulty, and you can directly follow the previous method of manufacturing Hongyi cannons.

This will allow them to forge more Apocalypse Emperor Golden Guns in less time.

Now, for example, forty-eight cannons have been cast in the arsenal.

According to Zhu Youxiao's estimate, by the time he was about to start a field battle with Jiannu in the north, they would be able to produce at least ninety-six of these Heavenly Apocalypse Emperor Golden Guns.

When the time comes, I will definitely be able to let Jiannu drink a pot.

Waiting for these gun barrels to cool down a little, Colonel Zhu You stepped forward to touch these gun barrels, and sighed with some emotion in his heart, if the strength of these guns was enough, he could use nitrocellulose as a propellant, how good it would be!

Once this Apocalypse Emperor's Golden Gun can be changed to use nitrocellulose as a propellant, then its range can be almost doubled compared to now, reaching a range of seven or eight miles.

In that case, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's golden gun is the real cavalry nightmare.

The cavalry was bombarded by this nitrified explosive artillery from seven or eight miles away, what a terrible thing it was, there was digestive explosives in the distance, and at that time the artillery could truly be called the god of war!

Zhu Youxiao was even imagining that scene, when he was fighting Jiannu's army, he first bombarded it with nitrified shells from a distance.

In the vicinity, the cavalry of Jiannu was constantly shot with a new musket, and after the cavalry was pasted in the face, Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers fought with Jiannu head-on.

Zhu Youxiao is very excited to think about this situation.

Thinking of the new musket, Zhu Youxiao finally came to his senses and thought of the purpose of his coming here today.

"Didn't you say that some of the sketches I gave you earlier have been made? I'm here today to see this kind of thing. ”

Sun Yuanhua was also very excited when he heard this.

He looked at Zhu Youxiao even more with admiration, and felt that Zhu Youxiao was worthy of being a skilled carpenter.

Previously, Zhu Youxiao gave him a sketch of a new rifle, saying that this was the real weapon for killing.

Sun Yuanhua came back with these sketches, studied them with various top craftsmen, and even found a few of his friends who were good at making muskets to discuss them.

Everyone thinks that the new rifle on this sketch can be manufactured, but it is very difficult.
