Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 1048: The Tragedy of Firearms, Research and Breakthrough

Chu Ze immediately took action to organize a rescue and investigation. A few hours later, the tragic scene finally surfaced.

It turned out that several students were studying the unstable factors of new fuel and accidentally caused a violent explosion.

Intense flames and shock waves instantly engulfed the entire warehouse, and nearby buildings were also damaged to varying degrees.

The most horrifying thing is that more than a dozen students and workers died on the spot, and many more were injured.

Watching the bodies being pulled out from the rubble, Chu Ze's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

This kind of destructive power is too terrifying if it cannot be mastered.

"Your Highness, this is so heartbreaking," a student said, choking back tears. "We have studied very hard, but we still cannot prevent the tragedy from happening again."

"No, it's not your fault." Chu Ze sighed, "Theoretical learning is important, but if you don't have a thorough understanding of the actual properties of new fuels, accidents are bound to happen."

"It seems that we must work on both the theoretical and practical levels to truly control this terrible power."

So, under Chu Ze's determination and personal supervision, the Firearms Museum launched an all-round battle to research new fuels.

A scientific research team composed of top domestic chemists and theoretical physicists was invited to gather and impart their respective professional knowledge to this group of humble and studious young people.

"The reason why the new fuel explodes so powerfully is because its molecular structure is tightly packed and orderly, and it contains a huge amount of energy. It's like a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, with its edge exposed and extremely lethal."

"However, this ordered structure is also doomed to be unstable. As long as it is hit by external forces or thermal expansion and contraction, the molecular structure will become unbalanced and destructive energy will burst out instantly."

"So, we have to start from the molecular level and explore new fuel formulas so that it can have explosive power while maintaining sufficient stability and will not explode on its own due to environmental influences..."

The theoretical courses were lively and intriguing, making the students eager to learn. At the same time, a new round of practical training was also carried out in full swing. With the inspiration of the theory, they were finally able to fully master the use process of the new fuel.

"Students, let's conduct a comparative test on the new fuel and the old fuel. Pay attention here..." At the experimental field, the instructor demonstrated skillfully in front of the operating table.

He ignited the two fuels one after another, and the two flame shapes were completely different.

The old fuels emit billowing black smoke and leave a lot of residue behind when they burn. The new fuels, on the other hand, have a hot and pure flame without any smoke and burn out cleanly.

"Do you see the difference? The new fuel burns much cleaner and more completely, which is why it has such great killing power."

The students watched attentively and wrote down the precautions for each step.

From loading to ignition, from detection to firefighting, they mastered the tricks meticulously.

In this way, with a solid theoretical foundation and repeated practical training, the students finally mastered the essence of driving new fuels. Chu Ze was deeply moved. He witnessed the growth of these young people with his own eyes and was proud of the successors of Daming.

"Everyone, now you have truly become the masters of the new fuel. However, lethality alone is far from enough. We must break through traditional thinking and create astonishing tactics for the use of firearms."

Encouraged by Chu Ze, the students of the Firearms Battalion began to study various strategies and battle examples of firearms. They absorbed excellent ideas from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, and developed them innovatively. In the past, firearms could only be used in flatland combat, but now they can be used in complex terrain; in the past, they could only be used for long-range sniping, but now they can also be used for close-range shooting; in the past, they only used single firepower, but now they can be used in combination, truly bringing into play the invincibility of new fuel!
Through discussions and exchanges with the old reformist officials, the Firearms Battalion finally formed a complete set of military books and battle examples of its own.

This comprehensive work systematically explains the use of new fuels and firearms, and demonstrates an unprecedented combination of technology and wisdom.

"What an invincible new firearms and military tactics! The Ming Dynasty's military equipment has finally regained its glory!" When Zhu Yuanzhang read this book, his eyes lit up and he was full of pride.

With his approval and Chu Ze's personal involvement, this groundbreaking work soon became popular in the national arms system.

Countless firearms masters and apprentices came to practice with this book of military tactics, and they soon became so talented that everyone applauded.

Finally, when the new fuel tactics were used skillfully by the entire army and the firearms battalion also took shape during training, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately decided to personally review the style of this new army.

On the day of the review, the Yellow Crane Tower was covered with smoke and waves. Zhu Yuanzhang climbed to the top floor with his head covered with clouds. He saw the firearms battalion lined up in a square array downstairs, with a formation as powerful as a fire phoenix, which could be described as unparalleled in the world.

Chu Ze wore the golden axe bestowed by the emperor, rode to the front of the battle formation, and gave an order with great enthusiasm: "Classmates, show His Majesty the Emperor the true strength of our new firearms battalion! Let's roar the iron lion of the Ming Dynasty!"

With a "swish", thousands of muskets were put into position at the same time, forming a sea of ​​fire. Then, with a loud "bang", countless gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, and tens of thousands of shells whizzed towards the shooting range on the other side of the Yellow River.

A moment later, when the smoke cleared, the emperor and all the civil and military officials saw a terrifying scene of raging fire.
Originally, there was a valley with green trees, but now it has turned into a space with many holes and a mess! All the trees and houses were razed to the ground, and the once glorious capital was reduced to ashes in this round of artillery fire.

"Wonderful, wonderful! What a shocking new firearms technique!" Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands and praised repeatedly.

He was filled with heroic spirit, and in an instant he felt the blood of millions of his people rushing through his veins.

From then on, the Ming Dynasty’s dominance over the rest of the world was no longer hindered. The four seas were subdued and the country was unified!
When the deed was completed, Zhu Yuanzhang, contrary to his usual behavior, stepped forward to embrace Chu Ze and his heroic firearms master and apprentice.

"My heroes! You were born in this blazing war, and the royal family finally regained the magic weapon that only appears once in a century!"

What he saw was truly astonishing and unprecedented. Although the Ming Dynasty had many elite soldiers and generals, as long as they had a new type of firearm, they would not be afraid of the battlefield. What could they not conquer?
So under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the Firearms Battalion was formally established and became the sharp weapon of the army.

Chu Ze, who was outstanding and outstanding, was appointed as the commander-in-chief and led 600 firearms teachers and students to resist foreign enemies.

In this way, a firearms army that stood out from the crowd with new fuels and strategies came into being, marking the official entry of the Ming Dynasty into a new stage of military modernization.

This undoubtedly gave Zhu Yuanzhang hope of achieving his hegemony. From then on, he ordered large-scale construction projects across the country to prepare sufficient logistics for the new arms business.

Soon, smoke rose everywhere. Luliang, Datong and other places were surrounded by mountains and full of mines. Coal was mined there and steel was smelted here, so that the production of arms was worry-free.
Going further east, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions have long been developed into transit stations for strategic materials.

Along the way, there were docks and warehouses everywhere, and military equipment was continuously sent from there to various fronts.

This bustling scene reverberated in the rivers and land for a long time. The common people were all moved and lamented the prosperity of the country. (End of this chapter)
