After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 170 Powerful and Beautiful

"There are several parts that are also made of wood, so they won't be used a few times."

"It can be seen that Mr. Qin is not very powerful. He can't think of such a simple question."

"The conditions in Lujia Village are too rudimentary, and I can't find anything made of iron at all, so I can only use wood instead." Zhu Biao explained to the ministers, "So this machine gun made by Mr. Qin is just a sample, we can completely Improve the manufacturing process based on this gun."

"Besides, Mr. Qin made this gun originally to facilitate the villagers to hunt, and he never thought of using it on the battlefield."

"It's us who will use it in warfare."

"If the machine gun causes too much murder in the future, it has nothing to do with Mr. Qin."

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said, looking at everyone, "You have all the conditions outside, why haven't you seen such a powerful gun? Even a skilled craftsman can't improve it for hundreds of years, it doesn't mean that Mr. Qin can't do it. "

"Mr. Qin is an artifact of the Ming Dynasty!" This is the first time Zhu Yuanzhang praised Qin Yu in front of his ministers, "You all hate him, we all know that, but don't slander him without any reason. "

The ministers immediately shut up when they heard the words.

"Biao'er, why is this divine machine gun so powerful?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again, "I'm afraid it can't be done just by improving its ignition device."

"Your Majesty." Zhu Biao said, "It involves secrets, and it is inconvenient for my son to talk about it for the time being."

"That's right, this is the secret of my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "All of you have to step down, and the Minister of Works, Shan Anren, will stay."

The crowd listened and left one after another, leaving only Shan Anren.

"Biao'er, how did Mr. Qin do that to make the firearm so powerful, you can tell the secrets of it now." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The large-scale production of firearms, the deployment of gunpowder, etc. is all under the control of the Ministry of Industry.

The Minister of Industry, Shan Anren, must know the secrets in order to do it, so he cannot avoid him.

"The reason why the power of the god machine gun is ten times that of the previous one is that Mr. Qin has enhanced the power of black gunpowder." Zhu Biao said, "Increasing the power of gunpowder is due to the ratio of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal, and the second is granulation."

"What is the specific proportion and how to achieve granulation, Erchen has already written it on the paper." Zhu Biao said, and handed the two materials to the two.

The two of them were shocked when they saw the contents on the paper.

"Just by simply changing the ratio of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, and granulating it, it can turn corruption into magic. Its power is ten times stronger than before. It's unbelievable!" Shan Anren said excitedly.

"Erchen also thought the same at the beginning. However, Mr. Qin's two changes have indeed greatly strengthened the power of gunpowder." Zhu Biao said, "And everyone has seen the test results just now."

"Not bad! Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang said repeatedly, "The improvement of these two technologies does not require much human and material resources at all. A small change can give me Daming such a powerful firearm.

"That Mr. Qin is really amazing!" Shan Anren sighed.

"Mr. Qin's original intention was just to facilitate hunters to hunt. If he were asked to develop firearms, he would probably create something more powerful." Zhu Biao said.

"Yes, yes." The two agreed.

"The improvement method of gunpowder and the ignition device, both of which must be classified as state secrets." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It can only be known to a few people, and it cannot be learned by the barbarians of Fanbang."

"The minister knows." Shan Anren said, "The minister will let the craftsmen of the Weapons Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau secretly make them in secret locations, and they are not allowed to go out. Meeting with family members should also be strictly controlled and will never be leaked to anyone. "

"Uh-huh."

"The conditions in Lujia Village where Mr. Qin is located are too rudimentary, so many of the parts on this magic machine gun were replaced by wood." Zhu Yuanzhang handed the wooden magic machine gun to Shan Anren and said, "Come and see, what are there? The place needs to be changed."

Shan Anren took over the improved fire gun, studied it carefully, and kept checking each part.

It didn't take long before he said: "The fire gun is made of copper pipes from the former Yuan Dynasty. It can be changed to the iron pipes produced by the current production, which will further reduce the risk of blasting the chamber."

"Secondly, the wooden handle of the gun can be kept. Because such a long firearm, if it is all made of iron, it is too heavy, and it is inconvenient for soldiers to use it. However, the locust wood can be changed to a harder birch wood."

"Again, I see that the butt of the gun was on the shoulders when the prince fired the gun just now. I can polish the butt to be smoother, so as not to feel uncomfortable for a long time."

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "These two changes are very good! Once the firearm is equipped, the soldiers will use it for a long time. Therefore, the production of the magic machine gun should be based on the convenience and comfort of the sergeant when it is used."

"So the minister suggested that a belt should be installed so that the soldiers can hang it on their bodies, so that they can be carried on long-distance marches." Shan Anren said.

And add a belt?Well, yes, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Since there are so many changes, let's make it a little more perfect. Dip the birch in oil, then polish it to make it brown."

"The magic machine guns made by our Daming must not only be powerful, but also beautiful, so as to show the style of my Daming. Daming's magic machine battalion will be the most elite team in the world."

"Yes, it should be." Shan Anren also agreed, "As for the launcher, there are too many things that need to be changed."

"No way, Mr. Qin's conditions are too rudimentary." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Go on."

"For example, a device inlaid with flint..."

"This part is called the hammer, this is called the fire anvil, this is called the medicine pool, the fire anvil spring, the spring..." Zhu Biao interrupted him and told the two of them the names of the various parts.

"The hammer must be made of iron, otherwise it will be damaged in a short time." Shan Anren continued, "The spring was originally made of very thin iron wire, which can be made thicker, so that the elasticity will be greater... and Anvil springs, flint, all can use better materials. In this way, a simple hunting gun will become a powerful and beautiful machine gun."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Just follow what you said."

"After you go back, immediately find the skilled craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau and improve it according to what you said. And make a sample for us to see. If you have no major problems during the test firing, immediately increase the production."

"The first batch is to produce [-] of these magic machine guns, which will be assembled in Jingwei's firearms battalion. The original firearms battalion will be renamed the Shenji battalion." Zhu Yuanzhang said domineeringly.

"My minister, obey the order." Shan Anren said.
