They quickly arrived at the back of the factory.
There is a small courtyard here, which is quite elegantly decorated.
There is a restaurant in the small courtyard, which is connected to the kitchen. The strange thing is that the kitchen stove has no hole for burning fire, and there is no firewood next to it. Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was curious, Hou Xian brought an iron pot. , filled with water and placed on the stove.
There is an iron pipe where the water is stored.
As long as a certain switch is turned on, the water will flow out, and there will be another good thing they have never seen before.
Next, Hou Xian opened a valve. There were two pipes connected to both ends of the valve, and there was a "hissing" sound of gas flowing.
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see how Hou Xian made a fire to cook noodles out of thin air. When Hou Xian pressed it, an unknown object seemed to be struck by flint and sparks appeared.
boom……
On the stove, a blue flame came out and danced under the iron pot.
This scene made them widen their eyes again.
"Where did the fire come from?"
Zhu Song found that when he visited the factory yesterday, he did not visit thoroughly enough.
There is actually this kind of magical thing that he doesn't know about at all.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he asked what he also wanted to ask, he looked at Hou Xian.
"This is marsh gas."
"Biogas is the gas produced by organic matter through the action of organic microorganisms. This gas can be burned."
"In our factory, we generally use biogas for cooking fires, so there is no need to find additional firewood."
Hou Xian explained simply.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Song: "???"
Another thing they didn't understand at all.
"This stuff is interesting!"
This factory brought many surprises to Zhu Yuanzhang. He pointed to the water pipe next to it and asked, "What is this?"
"This is tap water!"
"We introduce the water from the river into a reservoir, and then through this kind of pipe, it flows to every place in the factory."
"As long as you turn on a specific switch, you can connect the water and use it."
“No need to go to the well to get water!”
Hou Xian explained again.
Zhu Xuan's external publicity was brought by Hou Xian, so Hou Xian can only be responsible for explaining these technologies in the factory.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "This is convenient. Was it all Hou Xian who came up with it?"
"Not all!"
Hou Xian glanced at Zhu Xuan and said according to what they had colluded with: "The technology belongs to me, but the things here are the results of my discussion with the little emperor. The little emperor has many ideas and can give The slaves provide a lot of help.”
Zhu Xuan echoed: "Yes!"
"You guys did a great job!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had finished reading and sat back on his chair.
Zhu Xuan and Zhu Song quickly followed.
After waiting for a while, Hou Xian's cooked noodles were ready.
Yun Qi wanted to try it to see if it was poisonous, so he said, "I'll give it a try first."
"No!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Our good grandson, can we not believe it? Send it over."
"yes!"
Hou Xian placed it on the table.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally served Zhu Xuan a bowl of noodles and asked: "Next, what other good things do you have for us?"
"There is another thing that can greatly enhance the strength of our Ming army and allow our army to fight all over the world. No one is our opponent." Zhu Song said first.
Hearing him say that, it is still something that strengthens the army.
Zhu Song added: "Father will know later."
In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry. He finished breakfast first and continued to let Hou Xian lead the way. They soon arrived outside the arsenal, where people had already set up shields and placed rifles and bullets on the table.
"The good thing you are talking about is a fire gun?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw those rifles with a three-eight-piece cover. Although it was the first time he saw them, they were somewhat similar to firecrackers, so he thought they were firecrackers.
Zhu Song said excitedly: "It's exactly these, but we call them rifles. They are much more powerful than ordinary firecrackers. Xiao Yunxuan and I invited our father out of the palace just to dedicate the rifle to our father."
"oh!"
Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up, weighed it for a while, and asked, "How powerful is it?"
Zhu Song said: "Hou Xian, arrange for someone to give it a try."
Immediately, a man from the arsenal picked up his rifle, loaded the bullets, stood a hundred steps away from the shield, raised his gun, took aim, and shot out.
boom……
Only a loud noise was heard.
The barrel smoked.
The shield in front shook for a while, and it was obviously hit.
Zhu Yuanzhang was moved by this level of accuracy. Whether their Ming Dynasty firearms could hit a shield at this distance all depended on luck.
Many times, the firecrackers in the army are only used to intimidate the enemy, unless they can be more accurate in close combat.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the man who was testing the gun was not finished yet, so he pulled the bolt and fired another shot... Soon, he fired five shots in a row without seeing the need to change the ammunition or compact the ammunition.
All five shots hit the target!
"What a rifle!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but marvel when he saw the end.
If this kind of gun is used on the battlefield, its accuracy is so high that it can hit a target a hundred steps away. It is easier to use than a crossbow and can indeed greatly enhance the strength of the Ming army.
Guaishun and their factory have brought such great surprises!
It also subverted his understanding of firearms.
Zhu Xuan said happily: "Grandpa Huang, that's not all. Hou Xian went and brought the archery target."
After a while, Hou Xian brought the archery target.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the five bullet holes on it and asked in shock: "Can it still be penetrated?"
It can still hit an arrow target from a hundred paces away.
It was more powerful than he thought.
It is much stronger than bows, arrows, fire guns, etc.!
He even felt unbelievable and reached out to touch the bullet hole.
Zhu Song nodded and said: "It can be penetrated!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly: "This rifle is awesome!"
After a pause, he said again: "Jiang Wei, take our token and go to Jingying to get a set of Shanwen Armor."
Jiang Wei quickly walked out of the factory and left quickly.
After waiting for about half an hour, a set of mountain armor was placed in front of them, as well as a complete breast shield.
"Hou Xian, try again."
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see how strong the armor-breaking ability of this rifle was.
Zhu Xuan saw it and nodded slightly.
The style of this kind of bullet was made by Zhu Xuan based on armor-piercing bullets. The warhead is very pointed and made of steel, but the quantity is not very large. After all, the cost is relatively high, so I just made some for fun.
If you use a rifle to fight, the mainstream bullets are still ordinary ones, unless you need to hit the enemy with something hard.
The man who tested the gun quickly loaded the bullet.
Zhu Yuanzhang had someone prepare a wooden stake and fix it on the ground. He also put the mountain wen armor on it himself, put on the breast protector, pointed to the breast protector and said: "A hundred steps away, hit this. "
When Lao Zhu retreated to the back, the man who was testing the gun aimed at the position of the goggles and fired...
