Li Zhi's answer made Empress Eldest Sun helpless for a while.

She glanced at Li Zhi and said, "Chengyang and his son will be spoiled by you sooner or later." ”

Li Zhi said with a smile: "The two younger sisters are so well-behaved now, and when they grow up, they will definitely become the intimate little padded jackets of the queen mother like Sister Lizhi." ”

Empress Changsun said: "The queen mother is afraid that these two little padded jackets will leak in the future." ”

The two were talking, and Li Shimin suddenly came to the Lizheng Hall with excitement on his face.

As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but pull Li Zhi and walked out.

Just when everyone was wondering, they heard Li Shimin say happily: "Hurry up and follow your father to the prison to have a look."

Yan Lide just came to report that he had developed a rifle. ”

Li Zhi was also full of excitement after hearing this.

He followed Li Shimin and asked happily: "Is the accuracy of the equipment now able to meet the production of rifles?" ”

Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "What you said is that my father doesn't understand, I only heard that a batch has been produced and is preparing for test firing. ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Father should really know more.

If this rifle can be mass-produced, a batch of other good things will soon appear in my Datang. ”

Li Zhi said in his mouth, and he was also very excited in his heart.

With Datang's industrial capacity, it has long been able to hand out guns and cannons.

But after all, it can only be produced in small batches, and it is completely unable to meet the needs of the war.

Therefore, although the design and experimental work of firearms had already begun, it was never reported to Li Shimin.

Now that Yan Lide has reported it, it means that he will be in prison and already have a complete set of equipment for producing rifles.

In order to manufacture these machines, it is necessary to have a high degree of machining accuracy.

As long as the machining accuracy of the machine tool meets the conditions for the production of firearms and bullets, gasoline and diesel engines will soon be able to be manufactured.

These two things are the key to the rapid development of Datang.

After Li Shimin listened to Li Zhi's words, his pace of moving forward slowed down a little.

Puzzled, he asked, "What else is about to appear?" ”

Li Zhi introduced the use of gasoline engines and diesel engines to Li Shimin.

After Li Shimin heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

He asked Li Zhi excitedly, "Are you saying that these two things can replace cattle and horses?" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said: "Not only can it be replaced, it is much stronger than cattle and horses." ”

After hearing this, Li Shimin was a little excited.

If there is really something that can replace cattle and horses, then Datang will save a lot of land needed to raise horses every year.

If used to produce food, this land will soon free the people of Datang from the threat of starvation.

In addition, the most important trade between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding nomads is the trade of war horses.

Once Datang's demand for war horses decreases, then Datang will be able to exchange the saved trading materials for other items that are more needed.

The father and son came to the prison with excitement and soon met Yan Lide.

Li Shimin eagerly asked, "Where are you going to test the launch?" I'm going to try it myself. ”

Yan Lide opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the shooting range has been prepared for the ministers, and we can start just waiting for Your Majesty to arrive." ”

Li Shimin said: "Hurry up and take me there." ”

Yan Lide didn't dare to slack off, and directly took the two to the shooting range.

At this time, several circular targets at different distances were erected on the shooting range.

The closest of these targets was 150 meters from the test firing location, and the farthest one had reached a distance of 400 meters.

As soon as the group arrived, someone brought a rifle less than a meter long.

The original drawings of this rifle were drawn by Li Zhi in imitation of the Type 95 rifle used in military training.

In the past two years, Yan Lide and others have also made some improvements to it.

Now the gun is a bit longer, and the butt has been added to the back.

Yan Lide carefully explained to Li Shimin how to use it, and deliberately emphasized that there will be a relatively large recoil when shooting.

Although Li Shimin is good at using bows and arrows, it is the first time he has come into contact with such a new thing as a rifle.

Therefore, after studying it carefully, the first target he chose was the target closest to him.

In terms of Li Shimin's archery, at such a distance, he can easily hit the bullseye with an arrow.

However, when he used Professor Yan Lide's method to aim for a long time, the first shot he fired almost missed the target.

After Li Shimin fired, he immediately endured a slight pain in his shoulder and came to the target.

After carefully observing the location of the bullet hole, he immediately had a plan in his mind.

So when he returned to his firing position, he quickly fired a second shot.

This shot is obviously a lot better than the previous one, and is very close to the last ring.

Li Shimin's third shot took a little longer.

When he pulled the trigger again, the bullet actually hit the bull's-eye.

Li Zhi saw that Li Shimin hit the bull's-eye and immediately shouted: "Okay! ”

Others also applauded Li Shimin.

Li Shimin ignored this, and he quickly aimed his gun at another target two hundred meters away.

This time, he aimed a little longer.

However, when he opened fire, everyone was shocked to find that this shot actually hit the bull's-eye again.

The distance of two hundred meters is not short, and the center of the target is actually not much in the eyes of everyone at this time.

But I didn't expect Li Shimin to still be able to hit with one shot.

Li Zhi shouted again: "Beautiful! Father's marksmanship is simply too accurate. ”

Li Shimin laughed after listening to Li Zhi's words, and then aimed his gun at another target 300 meters away.

This time, he also hit the bullseye again with just two bullets.

Then he aimed his gun at the last target amid the exclamations of the crowd.

This time, Li Shimin finally encountered difficulties again.

He fired five bullets in a row, but he didn't even get close to the bull's-eye.

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly stopped, he closed his eyes and carefully recalled the situation when he shot just now.

After a while, Li Shimin suddenly nodded lightly.

Then he picked up his rifle again and took aim.

This time he visibly made a waiting motion, and it wasn't until a breeze blew that he pulled the trigger.

With a gunshot rang out, a few sparks suddenly appeared in the center of the target in the distance.

A young official who would be the supervisor immediately ran to the target to take a closer look.

It didn't take long for everyone to hear the little official shouting excitedly: "Bull's-eye, hit the bull's-eye." ”

After listening to the words of the little official, everyone looked at Li Shimin with admiration.

Li Zhi even directly opened his mouth and praised: "Father is simply too talented in shooting, and ordinary people can't do such accuracy at such a distance." ”

Li Zhi was telling the truth.

I think when he participated in military training, the instructor said that those who can accurately hit targets at such a distance are enough to be a sniper.
