Emperor Xuansi ordered people to open the doors and windows of the imperial study room to disperse the smell of gunpowder in the room. He looked out the window, sipped tea, and sat upright for a long time before he could hear the birds chirping outside again.
The guards were also very obedient. Although the loud noise in the room really startled them, His Majesty's instruction was "You cannot enter without his order." They did not dare to make any mistakes. When they saw the doors and windows opened, they secretly followed.
They took a look at the door to make sure that His Majesty was fine, and then they felt at ease.
"Qihua, my ears seem to have recovered..." Emperor Xuansi whispered while drinking tea.
Although he couldn't hear anything for a while, it didn't stop him from seeing at all.
After the gunshot just now, he looked carefully and saw that not only was the scale armor penetrated, but there was also a deep hole in the pillar behind the scale armor...
Thinking of this scene, Emperor Xuansi couldn't help but take another breath of cold air.
So, he put down the teacup, turned his head, looked at the little girl who was still playing with the firecracker, and said louder: "Qihua, I'm talking to you!"
"Ah!? Oh! Your Majesty, please speak." Yan Bing was obviously still interested in playing with the firecrackers. After all, the gunpowder was all taken away by Haowei. She only picked up the drugged firecrackers and a few scattered on the ground.
A lead bullet, that is to say, after firing this round, before she made the gunpowder, the blunderbuss was already a decoration.
Emperor Xuansi sighed and said with a slightly sad face: "How much silver does it cost to make such a fire gun?"
Yan Bing thought for a moment and said: "Well, not much. If the initial investment in manufacturing gunpowder and waterwheel workshops are included, the first batch of 500 long-barreled firecrackers will probably only take dozens of
Ten thousand taels is enough, this thing mainly requires manpower and material resources, as well as years of accumulation."
"Then, if you are allowed to handle this matter, I will use all the strength of the country to help you financially, materially, and manpower. How long will it take to build the first batch?" Emperor Xuansi leaned forward, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
After all, this answer is related to his "national destiny".
"It's hard to calculate, Your Majesty, it depends on the craftsman." After Yan Bing finished speaking, he lowered his head to think about the wording, raised his head, and tried to explain to Emperor Xuan Si: "Although civilian women can draw drawings, they can also make
Find all smelting recipes and even develop new gunpowder
, But all this cannot depend on the folk girl alone, but also depends on the craftsman's training ability... Therefore, if you want to make the first batch of fire blunderbuss, I am afraid it will take at least a year... If you want to combine the production process and
A substantial increase in output will take at least two to three years of accumulation."
"Two or three years!?" Emperor Xuansi slapped the coffee table, then sighed, shook his head, and continued: "I can't wait that long, and Daliang can't wait that long either..."
"Why wait? As long as there are enough craftsmen, a folk girl can come up with a sketch and give some explanations, and we can immediately mass-produce two weapons that are several times more useful than this thing!" Yan Bing's face was filled with worry.
A confident smile.
"Humph! You asked me to play riddles again!? I should reward you with twenty imperial staffs to make your memory long!" Emperor Xuansi was anxious in his heart, but this guy always spoke half-sentence. He blew his beard and glared in anger, hugging him.
He picked up the tea bowl and took another sip.
Yan Bing smiled. She knew that although Emperor Xuan Si was angry, he was still waiting for her answer.
"Your Majesty, the first weapon mentioned by the folk girl is also available in Liang State, and most of the craftsmen are good at making it. This weapon is the "crossbow"..."
"Crossbow!?" Emperor Xuansi turned his head, widened his eyes, and became even more angry. After smiling bitterly, he said sternly: "Are you joking with me? You know, deceiving the emperor! It is a serious crime! It is necessary.
Lose your head!
You just said that this thing has a range of up to 200 steps! And the crossbow of our country of Liang can only travel less than a hundred steps. How can it be considered a better weapon than this!? Several times more!? You don’t want it
With your master supporting you, you can..."
Emperor Xuansi suddenly fell silent...
Because at this time, Yan Bing was raising his arms and stretching out three fingers in front of him, with a smile on his face...
"What do you mean by this??" Emperor Xuansi asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Your Majesty, if nothing unexpected happens, the crossbow designed by Min Nu should be able to reach this number." After Yan Bing finished speaking, he thought about it again and continued: "If something unexpected goes wrong, it should even be able to reach this number.
Count!" As she spoke, she stretched out her fourth finger...
Emperor Xuan Si leaned back, slowly picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and gently put it down. Then, he looked at Yan Bing with a smiling face and said loudly: "
I! I knew you the first time I saw you! You are the pillar of our Liang Kingdom! You are the savior of our people! Even more...,"
"Your Majesty, please don't give these falsehoods to the female envoys. They are all monks who have become monks on the way. What kind of scripture are they reading?" Yan Bing interrupted with a smile before Emperor Xuansi finished speaking...
Of course, what Yan Bing was talking about was not an ordinary crossbow, nor was it the "God's Arm Bow" that was touted by historical data and later lost.
Rather, he is the real "King of Cold Weapons" in the 21st century!
Wheel set compound crossbow!!
The longest killing range of this crossbow can reach a terrifying 600 meters! Even many advanced countries have installed this weapon in their special forces.
Although, due to the shortage of raw materials, she could not achieve this terrifying data, she still had the confidence to use the existing raw materials to reach 50% of the maximum range.
The wheel compound crossbow has many advantages, such as being silent, smokeless, fireless, accurate, and extremely lethal.
The main reason why this king of cold weapons did not shine in ancient battlefields is that it was born a little late...or rather...not as late as usual...
Because when the first wheel compound crossbow came out, it was already 1976 when automatic rifles were everywhere and sniper rifles were flying everywhere...
Just imagine, if this thing is used in a duel with a fire gun, what will be the result!?
It has a reloading speed that is much higher than the former, and it also has a longer killing range. The most deadly thing is that even the hit rate is far higher than the fire blunderbuss of this era!
Not only does it eliminate the tediousness of gunpowder transportation, but it can also recycle and reuse crossbow arrows on the battlefield.
Plus it's smokeless, silent, and usable all day.
It is simply a must-have product for home and travel in this era of killer goods!
I'm just a fool to line up with you and shoot at each other!! I obviously have a better choice!!!
"What about the second weapon?" Emperor Xuansi looked cheerful at this time, and the sadness on his face had long since disappeared.
"Artillery!" Yan Bing chuckled, and then began to talk endlessly about the production process of artillery, the principle of killing, the importance of polygonal rifling, and his own ideas for explosive bullets. In this small imperial study room,
Yan Bing's few words contain a design concept for Europa that far exceeds this period.
She is confident that using sand casting method, large quantities of steel artillery can be manufactured in a short time.
The manufacturing efficiency of these two will far exceed that of firecrackers that require complicated processes! Naturally, they can be mass-produced in a very short period of time and installed in the army in parallel.
But has the Fire Gun been completely abandoned by her?
Of course not….
Yan Bing had already made plans in his mind.
First, use the wheeled composite crossbow, paired with artillery, to fill the gap in Liang's long-range anti-personnel weapons. At the same time, build a waterwheel workshop around the river, teach craftsmen the manufacturing process, accumulate manufacturing experience, and finally finalize better weapons for research, development, and production.
All the foreshadowing, all the planning, originate from the superb wisdom of our Chinese nation, which is the best field.
