Li Mu still didn't say a word, use the steelmaking method I taught you to exchange for other people's iron ore, and I'm sure you can become the most popular person. But he didn't say this, because judging from the current situation, Wang
Rui will definitely not agree. He is still counting on this secret method as the trump card to revive the family business.
But in the end, he will definitely make the exchange that needs to be made. Li Mu doesn't take these things to heart. At his level, he only looks at macro-level things. It doesn't matter who knows some so-called secret techniques, as long as he can
Just make what he needs on time.
Besides, he is not tied to Wang Rui. If Wang Rui can't make the weapons he needs on time, he can teach others how to pour steel and forge steel at any time. How dare Wang Rui do it?
No teeth?
In the evening, Li Mu insisted on returning to Yangzhou City after declining Wang Rui's repeated attempts to stay. The New Year was over, and Li Mu's time was tightly arranged again. All the itineraries were made by Wei Yingluo. If you wanted to find him temporarily, unless you were
Li Shimin and no one else have that kind of face. So when Wang Ruiqiu came to Wei Yingluo, he found the right person. After all, she was in charge of Li Mu's daily schedule.
There is no way, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard. Work more today for early retirement tomorrow. Li Mu has been using this sentence to spur himself, but in fact he is not sure, and he does not know when he can truly let go.
With this puddle in my hand, I'm going to hide in the flow to take care of myself until the end of my life.
"Xiao Jiu, look at this." In the studio, Li Mu, like a magic trick, handed Dugu Jiu an inch-long bullet.
Yes, bullets. Dugujiu also knows him. He knows that Li Mu has what he calls a 'gun', which he carries with him. When used, it makes a sound like thunder and has huge lethality. Li Mu declared to the outside world that 'a gun'
The thing that refers to Yangzhi is this thing called a gun.
I saw that it was about the same length as a human index finger. The whole thing was wrapped in a paper shell, with one end pointed and the other thick.
Dugujiu frowned and said, "Why is this thing made of paper? I remember your gun. The bullets are made of copper, right?"
"It's just to save costs," Li Mu bent down and took out a long gun from under the case. It was completely different from the exquisite short gun in his arms. This one was much rougher and not as refined. Dugu Jiu took it in his hand.
After playing with it for a while, he said: "This one is still more practical, without all the bells and whistles, and saves a lot of labor."
What he said is very pertinent. The gun in Li Mu's hand can be described as extremely luxurious. The barrel is made of gold, the handle is made of ivory, and it is supplemented by exquisite hollow carvings. Not to mention other things, it's just the materials and the hours of work.
, it’s worth more than a thousand guan. The bullets are made of copper. Who can a normal person afford to use them? Only a guy like Li Mu who doesn’t take money as money can build such a thing.
"When using it, just bite open the tip of the bullet with your teeth and pour the gunpowder inside into the fire pool. The bullet is in the middle of the paper shell, blocking the rest of the gunpowder from being poured out." Li Mu has unlimited trust in Dugu Jiu.
, explained in great detail: "Then close the fire door, stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel with a purge bar. As long as the gunpowder is not wet, the firing will not be affected."
Dugujiu played with it back and forth, frowning slightly, and said, "What's the use of this thing? If we were in front of the two armies, before you fired a shot, I would have already shot three arrows."
What Dugujiu said is not nonsense. The 'gun' that Li Mu took out is still in a very primitive stage. Compared with the guns of later generations, almost all of it has shortcomings. It's not that Li Mu can't make a better gun, he can.
, but it’s not necessary.
"You're right, it's really not very useful in front of the two armies' formation -" Li Mu said with a smile, "but it's not used in front of the two armies' formation, it's used on the ship."
"On the ship?" Dugujiu became even more confused and said, "What's the use of the ship? Can we fight at sea?"
There were no enemies in the sea area around the Tang Dynasty at this time. The Japanese pirates who would bring great trouble to the Central Plains in later generations could not build ships of more than 200 stone at this time. Naval battles were even more unnecessary. Datang's thousand-stone ship sailed by.
, the waves brought up may capsize the boat.
"Everything must be prepared for a rainy day. If there is no war now, there is no guarantee that there will be no war in the future. If you are not prepared, you will definitely suffer." Li Mu pointed to the 'world map' hanging on the wall and said to Dugu Jiu: "This is west of Tubo.
There are Arabs living in this seaport, and their navigation skills are also very advanced, which is as good as ours in the Tang Dynasty. If we encounter them at sea in the future, there will definitely be a conflict."
Dugujiu glanced at the location pointed by Li Mu. It was more than ten thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty. He could not imagine that it was possible to reach that far by boat. But since Li Mu said it was necessary, it must be necessary, and he did not follow Jian.
Just looking at the gun in his hand, Dugujiu was still puzzled and said: "Brother, the range of this thing should not be farther than a bow and arrow, why not use a bow and arrow?"
"Good question!" Li Mu said with a smile: "There are three advantages. First, if you want to shoot a bow and arrow accurately, the first is arm strength, and the second is eyesight. Both of them are indispensable. And this gun can be pulled by one person.
There is a threshold of arm strength. Aiming is also easy. If you see that the two gaps are not aligned, the target will be on target, and there is no possibility of missing the target."
"Secondly, bows and arrows are much longer than bullets. There are many winds and waves on the sea. After the bows and arrows are shot, their aim will be deflected by the wind, while the bullets will not be greatly affected."
"Third," Li Mu took out two more guns, put them at hand, and said, "As you said, if I shoot one shot, you can shoot two arrows. But who said that I only have one gun?
I prepared five guns, loaded them all and put them next to me, so that I can shoot continuously. Is it faster than your archery? And it saves me more energy. If I shoot for a long time, my arms won’t feel numb.
?”
Dugujiu is a martial arts idiot. The advantage of a martial arts idiot is that he will not admit death. If he is wrong, he is wrong, and if he is right, he will be right. He will not admit his mistakes just because he wants to save face. He has also been on a boat, and after thinking about it, Li Mu said
His words seemed to make sense, so he nodded and said: "Brother is right, this thing is indeed better than a bow and arrow on the sea."
"Tomorrow you are going to see General Hou. You still have to discuss this matter with him. Although any blacksmith can make it, after all, it is a taboo item, so let him purchase it through the Ministry of War.
Let Dongchang build it."
"Dongchang?" Dugujiu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the Dongchang Li Mu mentioned was not the Dongchang where the eunuch died, but the Chang'an Dongcheng Arsenal. Speaking of which, the original intention of setting up the Dongchang was to serve as the security guard of the Dongcheng Arsenal.
, but now he has taken over this title, which is interesting to think about.
