Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 534 Making a Gun!

"You said you wanted a blacksmith?"

"What do you want a blacksmith to do?"

Weird, can't figure it out.

It was beyond Sima Yao's cognition.

"Is there such a craftsman in the workshop?"

The kneading method of ironmaking has begun to take shape in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The iron plate made by this method can become a formal steel plate after a little processing.

Many times, with luck, the kneaded iron already has the properties of steel. For the weapons Wang Mi is going to improve, these steels are very important.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen wants to improve a weapon. If everything goes well, it may be useful in the next war."

"Wei Chen can conclude that as long as this kind of weapon can be used on the battlefield, it will definitely be able to defend the enemy from three thousand miles away!"

"Whether it's Di Qin or the Tuoba clan farther away, they dare not covet my Central Plains, go back to their hometown!"

Hey!
What a big breath!
"What kind of weapon?"

Compared with the ministers who sneered at Wang Mi, Sima Yao, who was always unreliable, gave Wang Mi a rare concern this time.

He is very enthusiastic about things that don't cost money.

"It is a small weapon that can be used with only one hand. Although it is small, it is powerful and easy to use."

"It's kind of a gun."

"gun?"

Sima Yao nodded blankly, but what came out of his head was the weapon with a long wooden pole, only the pointed part was made of iron.

"That kind of weapon also needs to be kneaded and made of iron?"

Although Sima Yao was not familiar with the military and had no knowledge of smelting, he knew that kneading iron could be regarded as a fresh product of the Great Jin Dynasty. It was very advanced and rare.

In any case, he could not hook the kneaded iron to ordinary spears and halberds.

Wang Mi didn't have the time to explain it to him. Besides, Da Jin was no better than Da Ming. People at this time had no concept of guns or guns.

They don't even have a decent model, and they can't make them feel real with empty mouth and white teeth. If that's the case, it's better to wait for the real thing to be produced and then care about it.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that Wei Chen just had this idea. When Wei Chen was in Xiangyang, he heard the barbarian Di Qin craftsman say that in the territory of Di Qin, Fu Jian, the pseudo-Qin master, was trying to use Ru Ru Guo to pass it down. A new way to build weapons."

"This kind of weapon is incomparably small and exquisite in workmanship. It is easy to use and can shoot projectiles directly, and the projectiles are also filled with gunpowder. Only one projectile is needed to deal a fatal blow to the enemy!"

"This kind of weapon requires iron after being kneaded to be successfully manufactured. After listening to the words of the Diqin craftsman, Wei Chen suddenly came up with the idea of ​​trying it out himself."

"However, Wei Chen is a scholar after all, and he is very unfamiliar with the method of tanning and smelting iron. I need a craftsman who is proficient in this technique to help me."

"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks?"

Look, no money, no room, just a craftsman, there is nothing Sima Yao can't agree to.

With a wave of his hand, he gave Wang Mi to the general minister. Anyway, he must have a suitable craftsman there.

It's not Sima Yao's concern about who to send.

There are hundreds of craftsmen in the workshop, how could His Majesty, the emperor, call each of them one by two?

In fact, to produce a suitable handgun, there are still a lot of materials needed. You can see that Sima Yao shook his head on the throne, as if he understood it.

In fact, Wang Mi knew very well in his heart that the two Sima brothers on the throne were actually a pair of straw buns with a head of paste.

What gun, what gunpowder, Wang Mi bet they didn't understand.

But, so what, now that the reward that should be given has also been obtained, and the craftsman who is familiar with kneading and smelting iron is about to get it, what else is there to worry about?

Wang Mi led the two friends, and walked out of the gate of Xianyang Palace, letting the bright sun shine on him, as if all the bad luck was dissipated in the sun.

"Zhiyuan, is there really such a magical weapon?"

"One blow can make the enemy's soul fly away?"

"You kid, you have a bigger tone than me, I really admire, admire!"

He Mai quickly chased after him. Wang Mi could only express to his great dream that it was indeed the fearless of the ignorant.

"Isn't this what you said, it can kill the enemy in one blow." He Mai still plausible, Wang Mi had to make a solid statement with his friends.

"Just now, in order to make Your Majesty and the ministers speechless, I can only say this, but in fact, the advantage of a weapon like a gun is that it is light and easy to carry and use, and the most important advantage is that, The gun can be fired from a long distance, and that distance is much farther than the strongest bow and crossbow today."

"In short, you just watch me operate, and when you see the real thing, you will know how powerful it is!"

Seeing is better than hearing a hundred things. Of course Wang Mi knew this truth. No matter how much he said, it was not as useful as a bullet in his handgun.

According to Wang Mi's vision, of course, it is better to be able to make a more powerful pistol, but one can't eat a fat man. Compared with pistols, for the current Da Jin, the handgun is a skill point that is easier to achieve.

"However, Zhiyuan, I don't remember that you met a craftsman from Di Qin in Xiangyang City. Could it be that you are talking nonsense again!"

He Wuji shook his fan and approached quietly, and just as he opened his mouth, he completely debunked Wang Mi's little lie.

Hehe, hehe, after a few dry laughs, Wang Mi smiled, "Wuji, your eyesight is still so good."

"what?"

"Did you make up all those craftsmen? Are none of them real?" He Mai was very devastated, thanks to the fact that he listened so seriously just now as a legend.

"The story is true, but the craftsmanship is true."

"Don't worry, I won't lie to Your Majesty in this regard, and I won't lie to my friends. The craftsmen have already been dispatched. If they don't have real skills, it's not a shame for themselves."

"That is to say, the craft of making guns is your own?" He Wuji was even more curious. He said that there are people with high art skills and boldness everywhere, but He Wuji made no secret that he has been walking in Jiankang for so many years. , but I have never seen a child of an aristocratic family who has real skills and is proficient in various skills.

Today was really an eye-opener. Unexpectedly, Wang Mi, who is a good warrior in battle, can actually make weapons.

"I just master the technology, but the specific method has to be discussed with the craftsmen, and I can't make my own decisions."

"So, in front of Your Majesty, I don't dare to say too much, and I don't dare to promise how effective this weapon will be and how long it will be available. I don't dare to boast about these things."

"I'm afraid that His Majesty will take it seriously, but I can't hand over the finished product in time, and it will be very troublesome."

"It takes a lot of time to make anything new. Look at General Xie's artifact toad cart, didn't he hide it all the time and try it for a long time before it was used on the Xiangyang battlefield?"

"you're right."

"It seems that in the next few days, you will be in the workshop." He Wuji made an inference.
