Chapter 674 The Difficult Sun Chuanting
Lantian Arsenal, the first research and development laboratory.

"Director, this is the experimental data of [-] rounds of thunder mercury primers in our experiment. I have to admit that thunder mercury is very useful as a primer. Our group conducted a thousand sets of controlled experiments in two days. , the final result is that Thunder Mercury has a high ignition rate and a very low false explosion rate, which is safe and reliable."

"Yes, director, but we found that the material of thunder mercury is too sensitive. As long as the outside world gives it a certain impact force, it will explode. If it is used directly, it is easy to cause danger and cause safety accidents when soldiers carry it."

"Yes, we have also discovered this, so we must find a way to avoid this problem and avoid casualties among soldiers."

At this time, another experimental group spoke and took out a report: "Director, this is the experiment our group has done in the past two days. There are a total of [-] groups. This is the relevant data."

At this time, Sun Dali took a puff of the cigarette specially provided by the senior researcher of the arsenal, exhaled a smoke ring, looked at the data on the paper, and said, "Well, the experiment of thunder mercury was very successful, but the stability is still a bit weak. I went to the library of Lantian Academy to borrow the reference materials brought back by Xianzun from the fairy world, and I have a clear idea about the percussion guns of our Lantian in the future."

"First, the formula of this primer needs to be improved. It is not very stable to use thurmercury alone. You can add stabilizers to it, such as potassium chlorate, antimony sulfide, etc. for further improvement. This requires more experimental data. At least no less than [-] sets of controlled experiments."

"Second, the thunderbolt bullet you mentioned just now is inconvenient to carry. My suggestion is to refer to the bullet brought back by Xianzun from the fairy world. The outside is wrapped in a copper shell, and the bullet and primer gunpowder are placed inside. The smokeless gunpowder in the laboratory has been successfully developed, and I have also discussed with the professor of the Mechanical Department of Lantian College that a batch of machines for manually pressing metal bullets can be made. If the experiment is successful, mass production can be achieved.”

"Thirdly, the firearms design department has already started drawing firearms blueprints. At present, several firearms have been developed, including this revolver."

Sun Dali took out a firearm that was very close to a modern revolver and said: "This is the first sample made by the Firearms Department - a revolver. The overall design is mechanically designed. There is a small wheel here that can hold six bullets. When shooting, pull the trigger, the buckle drives the wheel to rotate, and the firing pin at the back can hit the primer part of the bullet, so that the thunderbolt at the bottom of the bullet will spontaneously ignite upon impact, ignite the smokeless powder in the bullet, and shoot out the bullet. "

Clap clap clap!

Sun Dali pulled the trigger, and saw the roulette spinning again and again.

"After the six rounds of bullets have been fired, turn on the roulette, and the bullet casings can be poured out and replaced with new bullets. Moreover, since the entire explosion takes place in the bullet casings, the gun itself will not be greatly impacted by the gunpowder. Therefore, there is no problem of overheating, as long as there are enough bullets, theoretically unlimited shooting can be achieved!"

Sun Dali gestured a few times, and all the senior researchers immediately looked at this revolver. The workmanship was not surprising, and obvious traces of lathe stamping could be seen.

However, although the workmanship of this gun is very rough, compared with the flintlock guns currently equipped in Lantian, it has a crushing advantage. Whether it is carried, loaded, or fired continuously, it is not comparable to flintlock guns.

Sun Dali put the gun aside and said: "Guys, you have to hurry up. This revolver is the first product of the firearms design department. There are also long rifles for this purpose, and there are two types. One is a single-shot rifle that fires one shot for one bullet, and the other is a repeating gun that uses a burst mechanism like a revolver."

"In the second laboratory, smokeless gunpowder has been a great success. Its power is more than ten times that of our common gunpowder. With this smokeless gunpowder, just a little bit can shoot the bullet far enough and the power is strong enough!"

"Now the primer in our first laboratory is not completely successful. The county will come to visit our arsenal in three days. I hope that by then, your primer can be successfully developed, and the county can see it with our own eyes. The revolver made by Lan Tian shoots the bullets we made ourselves."

Sun Dali is no longer the little blacksmith who used to forge iron in Qingyu. Now he is the mainstay of Lantian Armory, the deputy factory director, the director of the research office, enjoying brigade commander-level treatment, and a serious Lantian high-level executive. In other words, there is naturally a taste of a superior person on his body.

After listening to Sun Dali's words, the Thunder Mercury Experimental Team in the first laboratory put in all their strength. They really hope to be praised by the county venerable. Technological workers need the support of those in power, because only in this way can they get enough money. Only when resources are tilted, can the resources of the whole society be mobilized for his use and research can be completed.

Just like Sun Dali, his research is almost a green light all the way, and the county will solve any problems encountered, and never let the problem get stuck in Sun Dali, so Sun Dali successfully developed Thunder Mercury, supervised Other researchers developed smokeless gunpowder.

Without the full support of Li Chaosheng, Sun Dali would not be able to complete the relevant research at all. After all, the extraction of mercury fulminate, that is, mercury fulminate, requires a lot of chemical materials. The School of Chemistry was opened to study chemistry from scratch, manufacture chemical raw materials, and build a military chemical factory.

It can be said that in order to extract thunder mercury, Li Chaosheng equipped Sun Dali with a complete chemical industry chain.

In order to be able to produce the firearms he wanted by himself, Li Chaosheng went from iron and steel smelting, to a mechanical stamping factory, to a mold factory, to training technicians. It can be said that Li Chaosheng spent nearly ten years preparing for these.

And set up a complete industrial production chain in Lantian.

The chemical industry chain and industrial production chain are the fundamental reasons why Lantian can produce scientific and technological products that surpass this era by 200 years.

If there is no complete industrial chain and industrial foundation, Lantian will not be able to manufacture firing guns, and this industrial foundation is also Lantian's technical barrier. Lantian has spent more than ten years paving the way for today. With today's technical barriers, it can be said that the entire Daming, not to mention the entire Daming, even the entire world, there is no second faction that can produce the same percussion gun.

Even if Lantian gave them their design drawings, they would not be able to manufacture them at all, because they have no relevant industrial equipment or chemical equipment, and they don't even know what potassium chlorate is. Do you expect them to be able to research primer?
Therefore, it took Lantian ten years to popularize basic knowledge for Lantian scientific and technological personnel and industrial personnel, and build their industrial foundation bit by bit from scratch, blast furnace steelmaking, stamping machine tools, various chemical factories, one step at a time. Step by step, relying on my own efforts, I have come to today.

In the Lantian county office, Li Chaosheng sat on his office chair, and said a little tiredly, "Guzi, how about the plan to visit the arsenal?"

Gu Zi heard this and said, "I have already sent someone to inform Sun Dali, but Sun Dali said that the county magistrate should postpone the visit for three days."

"Delay, what is this bastard going to do?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and asked, Gu Zi laughed when he heard this, "Xianzun, he seems to be planning to give the county zun a surprise?"

"surprise?"

Li Chaosheng was a little surprised and said, "Okay, I was very surprised when he made a grenade last time. I want to see what surprise he gave me this time."

Li Chaosheng said, looked at Guzi and said, "Is there anything else?"

After hearing this, Li Chaogu said: "There is also a report from Zhao Ziying that Auntie Zhu has successfully entered Lantian Academy and started to learn the knowledge of the academy."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Well, very good, this is a girl with a tragic fate, the fate of a country cannot be determined by a little girl, let her receive a good education in our academy. "

"The county respects benevolence and righteousness."

Gu Zi heard the words and said to Li Chaosheng, what he said was sincere, Gu Zi really thought that Li Chaosheng was very benevolent, after all, not everyone can treat a subjugated princess with such generosity, the fate of subjugated princesses is very tragic , although Daming is not dead now, but from Guzi's point of view, it will be sooner or later. When Lantian's percussion gun is mass-produced, it will basically sweep the world, who can stop it!

So Aimee Zhu, the princess of the subjugated country, is determined to be a princess, and she didn't run away.

Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Tell the academy that the education of Aimee Zhu should focus on the strength of women, and help her build up a strong heart. Even if the country faces the possibility of subjugation in the future, she must not commit suicide."

"Yes, I will notify the academy to arrange similar courses."

Gu Zi responded, and Li Chaosheng nodded. Li Chaosheng didn't have any bad intentions of collecting princesses of subjugated countries. A 14-year-old girl was about to face family ruin. It was already very miserable. The only thing I could help was to help her be strong.

Some people say that you, as the successor of the new power, should eradicate the princess of the subjugated country. In fact, Li Chaosheng doesn't think so. It's really so easy to make a comeback, she can't show much brilliance when Da Ming is still alive, and she can stir up troubles even after Da Ming is dead?

If she really had this ability, Daming would not die.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng felt that the pattern should be amplified a little, and it would be a good start for the latecomers. He could treat the subjugated princess through education, so that she could change her mind and become a new woman in a new era.

Li Chaosheng tapped his fingers on the table, and Gu Zi continued to read official documents to Li Chaosheng. At this time, Gu Zi said: "Master, there is one more thing. Sun Chuanting arrived in Lantian the day before yesterday and was placed in a house in the northern suburbs. However, Sun Chuanting's attitude is very serious now." Not good, I always say that I am a dead person, so I don’t want to have contact with living people, so I shut myself in the house, and the old servant buys vegetables and cooks every day, and our people don’t see each other.”

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said with a smile: "This Sun Chuanting is really good. It's really possible to become decadent after a defeat. By the way, how is Shi Lang's side?"

Gu Zi said: "It's on the right track. We have abolished [-] of the [-] sailors in the Shandong Shipping Department, and added [-] sailors in Shandong to form a [-]-strong navy. Shipbuilding is currently underway. It must be completed soon." Attack Jeju Island and traverse the southeast coast."

Li Chaosheng said: "He's pretty quick, what about Li Debao's garrison?"

"It's already in place. As long as Shi Lang takes Jeju Island, our garrison division and the first batch of [-] people will be able to land on the island and start construction."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Then Sun Chuanting really can't let him rest for too long, we don't have people in Lantian who eat nothing!"

Gu Zi said: "But he never sees any of us, the county magistrate, do you want to see him in person?"

"I see him? A defeated general, let me see him, and he will see me if I want to see him."

As Li Chaosheng said, he said to Gu Zi, "Didn't he say that he is dead? Since he is dead, let the dead see him."

"dead?"

Gu Zi frowned, looked at Li Chaosheng with a puzzled expression, and said, "How can a dead person see a human being?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi's puzzled look and smiled, "Of course the dead can see people, and Sun Chuanting will definitely meet the dead man we sent."

After hearing this, Gu Zi was even more puzzled, and clasped his fists together and said, "The county lord, please explain?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile, "Bi An!"

"Lu Xiangsheng!"

When Li Chaosheng mentioned Bi An, Gu Zi immediately realized that the chief judge in Lantian, the minister of justice, and the beast Bi An were unreasonable, and Lu Xiangsheng, who only asked right and wrong, was a dead man?
A person who was punished by Ming Emperor Chongzhen and Ming Zhengdian?

Thinking of Gu Zi, he realized the beauty of Li Chaosheng's move. The relationship between Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting is very good. When they fought against Jiannu Dorgon in Shandong and went south, the two were good friends. Even now, people in the court It is also believed that Sun Chuanting belonged to Lu Xiangsheng's party. This is partly the reason why Henan Bingtou He Renlong and others refused to save him.

So it is indeed a good idea to let Lu Xiangsheng go to see Sun Chuanting.

"Well, Xianzun, I see, I'll make arrangements now."

As Gu Zi said, Li Chaosheng stretched out his waist and said, "Okay, let's stop here today. I haven't seen your sisters-in-law for several days. Today I want to go home early."

After talking about Li Chaosheng got up, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and today is going to have an exciting game.

In the northern suburb of Lantian, there is a separate small courtyard with pleasant scenery and spring-like climate. Sun Chuanting is sitting in the courtyard, holding a book and sipping a cup of tea. He is indescribably comfortable. The old servant is making noodles for Sun Chuanting. At this time, there was a call to the door outside, the old servant went to open the door, and quickly ran back and said: "Master..."

Sun Chuanting didn't wait for the old servant to finish speaking and said, "Someone wants to see me again, no see!"

As soon as the old servant finished speaking, before the old servant answered, he heard a hearty voice from Waiman: "Hahaha... Mr. Sun is so majestic, am I missing?"
