Inside the ordnance camp.
Li Chengqian also gave Liu Min a death order, and he ordered one hundred thousand sky fire thunders to be fired within five days.
You must know that based on the current productivity of the ordnance battalion, it can only make a maximum of 2,000 sky fire thunders in a day.
Even if he works overtime, he can only make 5,000 yuan a day, but Li Chengqian wants to produce 20,000 yuan in one day.
That was really meant to embarrass Liu Min.
But Li Chengqian's orders have been issued, what else can he say?
At the moment, he could only bite the bullet and said: "I will try my best..."
"It's not as much as possible."
"You must do what I ask."
Li Chengqian's attitude was tough: "You also know how the war is going on the front line."
"If we can't reach the battlefield as soon as possible, we don't know how many people will suffer from the poison of the Japanese."
"So now the entire Tang Dynasty has to tighten up."
"As for the Ordnance Battalion, as the backup for all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, you must also stand up to me, do you understand?"
After hearing these words, Liu Min's expression was obviously startled.
He held his hands towards Li Chengqian and said solemnly: "My lord, I promise..."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian finally nodded with satisfaction.
Then, he walked straight towards the hut where Zhu Guang used to work.
But before he could enter the house, he saw Zhu Guang running out holding an assembled firing gun.
When he saw Li Chengqian, he immediately ran over and handed the firing gun to Li Chengqian as if he wanted to offer a treasure.
"Your Highness, please take a look."
"Is this the same thing you want?"
Seeing this, Li Chengqian was also a little surprised.
While inspecting the firearm, he asked, "Is it ready so quickly? Is it exactly the same as my drawings?"
Li Chengqian also had some doubts, whether Zhu Guang only made the shape without the lining.
"certainly."
Zhu Guangzhi said: "The flint and firing pin are all made according to the requirements on the drawing."
Li Chengqian, on the other hand, checked and finally tentatively pulled the trigger.
Sure enough, as Zhu Guang said, there was nothing wrong with the firearms.
Datang's first percussion gun was made under such circumstances.
Li Chengqian also felt a little happy about this.
While playing with the gun in his hand, he asked Zhu Guang: "Has the ammunition been made?"
"certainly."
As he spoke, Zhu Guang took out a few paper packets from his arms and handed them to Li Chengqian.
He said: "This ammunition is made exactly according to His Highness's instructions."
"good."
"Very good."
"With this thing, we don't have to be afraid of anyone in the future."
Li Chengqian looked at the firing gun in his hand, his face was full of emotion, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.
Anyone in China knows that there was a war in the past.
That time, the enemy used this kind of firearm to pry open the door of China and robbed countless treasures, gold and silver from China.
But now, everything is different.
At that time, their technology crushed China, but now it is China that crushes them.
And it is not crushed in a year or two, but hundreds or even thousands of years.
Now that we have steam engines and percussion guns, who will Datang need to fear in the future, and who will China need to fear in the future?
I am afraid that if the Tang Dynasty did not invade them and China did not exploit them, it would be regarded as the virtue of their ancestors.
Li Chengqian wiped the gun with his hand, then put away the paper cap bullets and said without raising his head: "Let's go with me to test the gun!"
"good."
Zhu Guang agreed happily.
After all, he made this thing, and he also wanted to see how powerful it was.
And when the two came to the shooting range used to test the accuracy of the crossbow machine.
Li Chengqian also began to load the firing gun in a decent manner.
After lighting the fire twister, Li Chengqian pointed the gun at the target a hundred meters away without hesitation.
"boom!"
The moment he pulled the trigger, a huge noise suddenly sounded.
Immediately afterwards, you can see a hole the size of a bull's eye suddenly appeared on the wooden archery target in front of you.
Seeing such a scene, even Zhu Guang, who had made this thing, was almost shocked.
In his memory, he only wrapped some gunpowder and an iron bead in the paper.
But this iron ball could actually make a hole as big as a bull's eye in a two-finger-thick wooden board. How could he not be surprised?
He looked directly at the smoking firing gun and said, "Oh my God, this...is this thing so powerful?"
"You may not realize how great you are right now."
"But many years later, the people of the Tang Dynasty will definitely engrave your name on the entire history of China."
Li Chengqian looked at the firing gun in his hand, and then at Zhu Guangdao in front of him: "You are really the best craftsman in the world."
"When I came back to you, it was the right thing I did in my life."
Hearing Li Chengqian's compliment, Zhu Guang also scratched his head in embarrassment.
He said: "I am also doing what His Highness ordered."
"But only you, Zhu Guang, can realize my fantastic ideas."
Li Chengqian handed the firing gun in his hand to Zhu Guangdao: "You think of a way to put this thing into mass production. I have to take away at least two thousand of them before I leave."
After hearing this, Zhu Guang also nodded solemnly.
He said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this thing is not that complicated. Within ten days, two thousand will not be a problem."
"No."
"Five days..."
Li Chengqian said: "You must make it for me within five days."
Hearing this, Zhu Guang also had a bitter look on his face.
He said: "This, even if I gather all the craftsmen and work day and night, I still can't do it."
“You have to do it even if you can’t make it, and you have to ensure the quality.”
After thinking for a moment, Li Chengqian looked at the firing gun again and said, "And when you are making the gun, remember to add a blade to the front of the gun. This way our army can continue to fight when ammunition is missing."
"Okay, this is no problem."
"But when it comes to making two thousand percussion guns, I can only say that I will try my best to rush the work."
"But I can't guarantee that we will be able to do it."
This is the difference between Zhu Guang and Liu Min.
Liu Min would agree to an impossible task for Li Chengqian.
But Zhu Guang doesn't. He does things strictly and follows his own rules.
Although the manufacturing process of the percussion gun is not complicated, it is still a machine after all, and every step must be meticulous.
And Li Chengqian also knew that this was the safest thing he could get from Zhu Guang.
Moreover, he also knows that haste makes waste.
Therefore, Li Chengqian nodded and said: "The ammunition can be made with less ammunition, but the gun must be made as quickly as possible."
"I see."
Zhu Guang nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Li Chengqian didn't hesitate and walked straight out of the ordnance camp.
His trip to the ordnance camp today was fruitful. Not only did he start the steam engine, he also made the first percussion gun appear.
After walking out of the ordnance camp, Li Chengqian also looked up at the sky.
"Since war is necessary to bring peace, then I will beat you all into submission."
"If only war is necessary, there can be no war and the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"Then I will fight until the day there is no war..."
