Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

"This thing is too heavy to be practical. It should be made smaller and lighter. Also, lead bullets or iron beads should be used as ammunition, which can shoot farther and have greater power..." Zhao Ji has experience in later generations , so it is very simple to point out the problem and give directions for improvement.

Of course, he won't know how to do it, he can only theory.

But it was just a few simple words, but it made those craftsmen feel like they were treasured. When Zhao Ji asked strangely, they embarrassedly said, "Oh, Your Majesty, if we had thought about it earlier, we would have been rewarded!"

"Haha, it's not too late, there are still many things that can be improved. Let's just say that the flintlock gun I mentioned, if anyone can make it, or your team can make it, I will be rewarded!"

Zhao Ji believes that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the wisdom of the masses is infinite!

"This is a screw, these are threads, and this is a nut, which can be used to fix both sides..." Zhao Ji pointed to his drawing to introduce to the craftsmen.

These craftsmen quickly learned what screws and screws and nuts do, and many of them mused…

"But Your Majesty, how do you make it? It seems that making a screw is much more difficult than making a plug!"

In ancient times, wooden wedges were mostly used to fix things, that is, a small piece of wood was inserted into the crack, and then smashed into it with force, so that the two sides were squeezed tightly, and it was not easy to fall off. In ancient times, there were no nails, so they used all wood to make various tools, such as tables and chairs, such as siege vehicles, without any nails.

Of course, it will take more time in that case, and naturally it will not use nails firmly, so it will be gradually eliminated.

According to manual processing, it is not easy to make a screw, but Zhao Ji never thought of doing it.

"What we have to do is to make a lathe, which is specially used to process screws. I think the general parts should have these. There are turning tools here, which must be high-strength turning tools, because it has to carve marks on the iron column. And This should be the thing that fixes the wire, and after rotating, the wire becomes a screw..."

Zhao Ji taught these craftsmen the principles according to his own understanding. He also guessed the specific things, but it was roughly the same. If it's bad, let's experiment more, Zhao Ji thought irresponsibly.

These craftsmen have many questions, such as how to produce iron wire, how can turning tools have such a strong hardness, and how can they make lathes...

Zhao Ji waved his hand, "Okay, these are exactly the problems you have to overcome, I just put forward the direction, and the specific things need to be done by you. I believe that you will be able to make things that I am satisfied with. You will be satisfied too!"

Zhao Ji's shock was too great. The things that the craftsmen and Yuan Duomi brought up were unheard of. Many people were unwilling to eat it and really wanted to experiment immediately. It's just that the emperor's reward must not be eaten, otherwise it is a crime of great disrespect. They have to suppress their temper, and they eat quickly when they eat, and they don't even taste the fat.

Fortunately, these craftsmen did not go with the emperor. After eating, they ran to their own place and immediately started to make...

Zhou Yue, Yuan Duomi and several other officials accompanied Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji said with some sigh, "It seems that we have a long way to go. The quality of steel is a big problem, and of course the quantity. The steel-making blast furnace I designed, you can find a place to test it, and if it can be implemented, it will be implemented in other places as well!"

Regarding the steel-making blast furnace, Zhao Ji also recalled something after taking Shenquan, but the memory of the steel-making blast furnace was just a random look on the Internet. The information is very incomplete, and the missing parts can only be depended on by the workers themselves. Tried to make it up.

"Start trying to make a red-clothed cannon now!" Zhao Ji drew a picture of a cannon barrel with the length marked.

Yuan Duomi and Zhou Yue are very strange, "Your Majesty, is the red-clothed cannon this thing? But it doesn't seem to be red!"

Zhao Ji was taken aback, "Hey, you don't care what color he is, I said it's called the red-clothed cannon, then it's called the red-clothed cannon, do you have any opinions?"

"No, no!"

Joke, who dares to have an opinion?

"This is what I came up with from the cast iron blast gun just now. Since it can shoot small broken stones, it can also shoot large shells. Then why not get a big one? Go on like this, and shoot dozens of pounds. A heavy iron ball, what city wall can stop it?"

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, describing the power of the red-clothed cannon, Yuan Duomi and the others broke into cold sweats, thinking, is this His Majesty really their Majesty? Why are there so many strange and strange ideas that seem to be very possible?

In Zhao Ji's description, this red-clothed cannon is about 3 meters long, 110-130 mm in caliber, and weighs more than 2 tons. One cannon can hit ten miles away... Think about its power, not to mention people, but steel to be beaten...

"This, is this really possible? Wouldn't that be the power of the gods?" Zhou Yue couldn't believe it, if it wasn't for Zhao Ji being the emperor, he would have kicked him long ago if others dared to say that.

Even Yuan Duomi couldn't believe it and thought it was impossible.

People always don't believe in things they don't understand. If they were told that there is such a thing as an atomic bomb, which can destroy the surrounding dozens of kilometers in one fell swoop, they wouldn't believe it, right?

But it doesn't matter, as long as Zhao Ji believes it himself, he is the emperor, and others must believe even if they don't believe it.

The craftsmen were called, and Zhao Ji had a discussion with them, which benefited those people a lot.

"Molds are very important. They can be made into different models. They can be tested many times in secret places. Only after the tests can they be officially put into production." Zhao Ji said to Zhou Yue, "I give you the power to act cheaply, and you must give it as soon as possible. Results!"

In order to deal with Jin Guo, Zhao Ji thought of everything he could think of, but unfortunately time waits for no one. If he was given a few more years, he would have a greater guarantee.

Of course, the most important part of this is the steel output, but if the steel blast furnace is made, it must be able to greatly increase the steel output.
