Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

"The lathe is the foundation of the industry. You are all hand-made now. Some people make bigger ones, and some make smaller ones. There are differences in size and quality. But if you use lathes for uniform processing, the size of the things you make will be different. Consistent, this will not only make accessories easier, but also improve efficiency and make it easier for soldiers to use..." Zhao Ji said with his eyes shining, he knew that the first thing to do now is to make lathes, not to make firearms. !

Seeing that all the people were bewildered, Zhao Ji shut up angrily. In fact, he doesn't understand much about lathes, let alone the new and ancient craftsmen. Let's wait for him to draw a map and let them accept it.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about steelmaking. Which of you is good at steelmaking?" Zhao Ji asked.

At this time, the two red-faced people stood up and introduced themselves.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are called Niu Er. They have been ironing for generations, and the swords I have made are of the best quality!" Niu Er had a complacent look on his face.

The other person was not far behind, with a curly beard, "Your Majesty, Zhang Dali, the grass-roots, our Zhang family's ancestral craftsmanship has been worn for several generations, and I am the best at refining steel!"

Yuan Duomi next to him nodded, "Your Majesty, these two are indeed the best experts here!"

Zhao Ji nodded and asked Yuan Duomi, "What is the annual steel output of our Song Dynasty?"

Yuan Duomi scratched his head, with a shy look on his face, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Wei Chen doesn't know."

Zhou Yue, who was next to him, saluted respectfully, and then said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen did some statistics. The recorded steel output last year was 21,000 tons, which is much higher than before!"

Pfft, Zhao Ji vomited all the tea, and that's the point. You must know that a steel mill in the future will produce a lot more in a month than this!

"Okay," Zhao Ji had no choice but to accept, "how about the research on the stun gun?"

A craftsman brought an iron burst gun, and the entire gun body was cast iron, weighing 30 to 50 pounds. The craftsman who brought it was obviously a little ashamed, and said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, this is a bit heavy, but it can withstand the force of the explosion, and there is no problem in firing dozens of rounds!"

When I took it personally, Zhao Ji's face was full of black lines. If a soldier fought with such a thing, he would be exhausted without fighting! Not to mention, they simply don't have that much steel to make this thick black thing!

However, those craftsmen seemed very interested, and some people specially invited His Majesty to go to the test site to watch.

Zhao Ji didn't get angry. After all, it was the Song Dynasty. It was good to be able to do this. In order not to discourage their enthusiasm, Zhao Ji also followed.

I saw the two of them start busy, stuffed the gunpowder, then stuffed the stones into the barrel, and stabbed them hard with a wooden stick.

Then one person ran away quickly, and the other person put the iron bucket on the ground, adjusted the attack angle, and started to set fire to one side.

Zhao Ji and the others are far away from there, and there are several people standing in front of Zhao Ji, loyally shielding Zhao Ji from possible danger.

"What's the thing that ignited?" Zhao Ji asked Yuan Duomi next to him.

"Your Majesty, it's a strip of tarpaulin soaked in the sun and used as a fire starter. Using this strip of cloth can control the shooting time, giving us more time to adjust..."

Zhao Ji had to sigh, the wisdom of the masses, many times it's not that the people are not creative, but the superiors don't see it and don't pay attention, so he said, "Very good, reward the person who invented this method. Yin Shiliang!"

Although this is not a useful invention, it is a matter of heart to come up with such a method. Zhao Ji hopes that through this matter, everyone will be able to use their brains.

Yuan Duomi and the others were all surprised and thanked Zhao Ji for his generosity in unison.

At this moment, the cloth strip burned to the end, and then there was a loud bang, and a black smoke came out from the iron barrel. There was a crackling sound on the wooden board fifty or sixty meters away from here, and a lot of gravel could be seen. The head hits the plank.

"Haha, Your Majesty, what do you think?" Yuan Duomi smiled and was very satisfied with this power, "The power within 100 meters is very powerful. We tested it and aimed it at a wild boar, and the wild boar was covered in stones when we went down. Son, if this hits someone, you won't die but will be seriously injured!"

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen asked them to take a look at the board!" Yuan Duomi began to instruct people to carry the board over.

Seeing the absent-mindedness of the emperor, Yuan Duomi felt a drum in his heart. Could it be that His Majesty was frightened by the loud noise just now? It would be bad if that was the case, the head might be saved, but the hat must not be saved...

At this time, Zhao Ji was a little nervous. Of course, it wasn't because he was frightened, but when he saw the black cast iron musket, it looked a bit like a cannon! If it was magnified ten times, it would be ten meters long.

Zhao Ji jumped up all of a sudden, laughing loudly, "I see, cannon in red, haha, cannon in red!"

This sudden change scared the people around them to their knees and looked at each other, Yuan Duomi even trembled, the emperor went crazy, the emperor was scared crazy! Now let's not talk about the hat, the head must be gone...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xiao Lizi was still familiar with Zhao Ji and pulled Zhao Ji's sleeve.

When Zhao Ji was doing research these days, this was the case several times, and Xiao Lizi was already immune.

After being pulled back by Xiao Lizi, Zhao Ji realized that he had lost his temper, and coughed, "What are you doing, flat! I just thought of a very good thing, and I was so happy for a while!"

"Haha, who came up with the idea of ​​the cast iron bobbin, this method is very good, I want to reward him!" Zhao Ji is now happy, sending out rewards.

However, these craftsmen looked at each other, Yuan Duomi put his heart in his stomach, no longer afraid, and coughed, "Your Majesty, it seems that you came up with this..."

"Oh, is that so?" Zhao Ji smiled, "but I am very happy to have all of you dedicated ministers. I ordered to go down and make meat dishes today, um, let's make a big pot of dishes, I also eat here! "

"As your majesty!" Zhou Yue arranged it.

Zhao Ji looked at the board and found that several stones were embedded in the board, and there were obvious signs of being hit by stones in some places.

"What's the farthest distance, I mean the distance that can hurt people?"

Yuan Duomi replied, "One hundred and fifty meters, no matter how far it is, it won't have much power. Moreover, this thing is difficult to aim at, that is to say, a large area is hit, and it depends on luck which one you hit."
