Zhu Biao looked back at where he was standing just now and estimated the distance.
Fifty steps.
Zhu Bai said: "Brother's shooting skills are pretty good, but it's hard to aim. If it really hits a person, it will be a big hole. As long as it hits the body, it will definitely die. So it doesn't matter if it's a little off."
The medical skills at this time were inferior to those of later times, and operations could not be performed, so the lethality of thermal weapons was even more terrifying.
Zhu Biao said nothing and put down his gun: This thing is too vicious.
No wonder Zhu Bai doesn’t promote allotment.
Zhu Bai can do this at a young age, which is what makes him feel chilled the most.
Zhu Bai said to himself: "The accuracy and firepower are not enough. You can hit and kill the enemy within a hundred steps, and you can penetrate the armor only at fifty or sixty steps. It will become more difficult to aim immediately. It needs to be within thirty steps." Only in this way can the accuracy be guaranteed. And it can’t be fired continuously, which is the most troublesome thing.”
Zhu Biao said: "Is this more difficult than Yan Ling Dao?"
Zhu Bai realized that he had accidentally said too much and smiled: "It's difficult. When we were working on the first version of the war battle bureau, we had it exploded."
If there are future lathes and casting technologies, it will definitely not be difficult.
But now there is none.
For example, for this pipe, it is best to use seamless steel pipe.
There is no such thing now, only cast iron pipes can be used.
Using abrasive tools to cast a whole cast iron pipe is prone to bubbles and defects. In the beginning, it is often necessary to make twenty or thirty pipes before one is barely usable.
Later, when I became more proficient, I could only guarantee that one out of ten would be qualified.
This way there is no way to mass produce it.
In order to ensure safety, he could only use two tubes, one large and one small. The large inner diameter was close to the small outer diameter. When the heated large tube expanded, it quickly covered the small tube. In this way, there is a slight gap between the large and small tubes to reduce the pressure on the barrel wall when the bullet exits the chamber.
The amount of gunpowder in the bullet is then adjusted.
So there is the current situation where the firepower is not strong enough.
However, he couldn't elaborate on these with Zhu Biao, so he could only stop there.
After coming out of the arsenal, Zhu Bai went to work in the Guanya Bureau.
Zhu Biao returned to the imperial study to return his orders to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu asked: "Do you think it is possible for you to take over?"
Zhu Biao shook his head: "It's impossible."
Although he didn't want to admit it, he still thought that it was after seeing Zhu Bai's arsenal with his own eyes that he felt more and more that he did not have this ability.
Not to mention that the raw materials were inseparable from the Guanya Bureau. He didn't even understand the way to talk about taking over.
Lao Zhu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, wait until the craftsmen are skilled, and then you can slowly intervene."
Zhu Biao forced a smile on his face: "Thank you, father."
Now he felt that the things Zhu Bai did were intertwined with each other, getting tighter and tighter, just like things growing out of Zhu Bai. There was no way they could act independently or be separated from Zhu Bai.
The next day in the Imperial College, Liu Bowen looked at no one on either side and asked Zhu Biao quietly: "I heard that His Highness went to see the weapons workshop with King Xiang yesterday?"
Zhu Biao was a little unhappy and remained silent.
Now Liu Bowen is really watching him more and more closely, as if he is monitoring him, which makes him very uncomfortable.
Liu Bowen saluted Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, please don't blame me for asking too much. What did Your Highness think after seeing it yesterday?"
Zhu Biao shook his head: "Master, if you want to ask me about taking over the armory, it's not possible for the time being."
Liu Bowen frowned: "The situation is not good."
Zhu Biao said: "Actually, Master, there is no need to worry. No matter what, he will eventually go to the feudal land when the time comes."
Lao Zhu asked yesterday because he clearly didn't want Zhu Bai to control the arsenal alone. When Zhu Bai goes to Changsha, Lao Zhu will definitely not let him take this secret away.
Liu Bowen nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Lao Zhu announced at the time that the Baoyuan Bureau would be placed under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Official Tooth and Drug Administration, and the thirteen Baoquan Bureaus would be managed by the local first-level official and teeth bureau.
There was an uproar in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty. Yanguan and Huaixi had a rare unity of opinion, and they were both firmly opposed.
Liu Bowen and others stood up one after another to strongly oppose.
"The King of Xiang is young, and now he controls so many things that he can threaten the country."
"The king of Xiang is a commoner, and his power cannot exceed that of the prince. Otherwise, the king will not be king, and the ministers will not be ministers."
"This was originally the work of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, including the Guanyin Bureau and Guanyin Village. Now they are all handed over to the King of Xiang, and the six ministries are in name only. The court is a nameless thing."
Then Li Huanwen, the newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War, glared at them: "Hey, hey, you said yours, don't drag our Ministry of War into it."
Just kidding, after King Xiang came to court, the Ministry of War's life became much better.
Not only did the military rations arrive on time, but the weapons and equipment were also much more advanced.
To put it bluntly, if Zhu Biao was not the eldest son, he would have suggested to Lao Zhu that Zhu Bai be the crown prince.
Lao Zhu watched the performance of these ministers as if they were watching a play, and sneered secretly in his heart: Haha, last year we said we would promote copper coins.
For a whole year, there have been very few copper coins circulating in the world.
Why?
We didn't know this before, but now after hearing what Lao Twelve said, we understand that it's because the people don't trust your household department.
Copper coins will become less valuable the more they are used! !
In the past two months, Lao Twelve's Guan Ya Bureau came to support the situation, and copper coins became popular in Yingtian.
Otherwise, how can we have the confidence to continue to mint new money.
You bunch of rotten scholars and corrupt officials have to eat and throw bowls at the same time.
We don't tolerate you.
Seeing that Lao Zhu was indifferent, Hu Weiyong decided to do something fierce and winked at Xu Duo, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Your Majesty, you can't." Xu Duo cried and knelt down.
Lao Zhu had no reaction.
Xu Duo gritted his teeth and said, "I will remonstrate with you and ask the emperor to take back my order."
When Lao Zhu heard this, he became excited and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Don't stop him, let us see how Mr. Xu will remonstrate to death."
Xu Duo, you were originally a loyal and courageous person, but now you are mixed up with Hu Weiyong.
If you really kill yourself here today, we will let your family go.
Everyone calmed down and looked at Xu Duo.
There was cold ridicule in Liu Bowen's eyes: He was obviously Hu Weiyong's lackey, but he was running around in the court all day long under the banner of being an official. You should give it a try.
Xu Duo couldn't get off the tiger, gritted his teeth and rushed towards the pillar, and then hit it against the pillar.
He looked at the strong momentum, but actually stopped it when he reached the pillar, so he only touched it lightly but not too hard.
He lay down on the ground and pretended to be weak and stretched out his hand to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty, good advice may be offensive to your ears. Don't insist on having your own way."
Zhu Bai rolled his eyes: tut, tut, tut. There was just a bump on my forehead, but it wasn't bleeding. The acting is so fake, bad review! !
To be honest, the second best thing about Liu Shengun and his gang is that they know how to curse. The reason for the real lethality is that they are so driven that they even beat themselves, beating them to death. Because they feel that they are serving justice and the people and the country, they can even risk their lives.
For example, Chen Ning really killed himself when he said he would remonstrate to death.
