The sniper starts from the bright sword escape period

Chapter 429
What Baili has to do is also very simple, that is to make a mold first, then create some small copper pieces, and finally punch those small copper pieces into a concave shape through the mold.

Finally, put some gunpowder on the small copper piece, and a very simple ground fire is successfully created.

The next step is to install the ground fire at the bottom of the shell, so a bullet that is almost exactly the same as the modern one is completed.

After Bai Lixiu finished this, he naturally had to experiment. Bai Lixiu took a pointed chisel, and the pointed part touched the primer at the bottom of the shell, and then he tapped it a little harder, and it immediately cracked!
Then a puff of smoke floated out of the shell. Bailixiu nodded with satisfaction when she saw this scene, and said to Prince Zhu Biao:

"Now you can use impact ignition instead of using fuse ignition!"

Of course, all the blacksmiths in the blacksmith workshop were annoyed when they saw this scene. They felt that Bailixiu had shown them the method of igniting gunpowder with impact half a month ago, but they didn't think why it was so simple. In terms of it!
Of course, although Prince Zhu Biao also thinks this method is very simple, why didn't he think of it, but he praised Bailixiu:
"Sir, you are so ingenious, you can think of such an ingenious way to ignite the firecracker!"

But Bailixiu said with a smile:
"Because only in this way, the fire blunderbuss will not be afraid of being wet by the rain and cannot be used, so that even in heavy rain, you can fight the Beiyuan cavalry without fear!"

Bai Lixiu paused for a while, and then continued:
"As for the matter of entering the imperial court as a letter to the Ministry of Industry, I'll let it go and I'm free. I only hope that His Royal Highness will keep his promise and spread the Mohism. Presumably His Highness also understands that the Ministry of Industry is different from others. They are all craftsmen. It is obviously putting the cart before the horse when people who learn Confucianism are in charge of the Ministry of Industry, so I hope that when the Ministry of Industry recruits officials, they can set up a military examination just like the martial arts system! This is the only way to select outstanding craftsmen to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry. Let the Ministry of Industry develop again!"

Zhu Biao nodded thoughtfully after hearing Bailixiu's words, but you must know that Bailixiu just made a shell casing with a primer.

Haven't made a gun that can be fired yet!So Zhu Biao immediately asked:

"Sir, but what should this motivating organization do? Sir, please demonstrate!"

When Bailixiu heard this, he looked at the blacksmiths in the Bingzhan Bureau's blacksmith workshop, and then said to Zhu Biao:
"The method of waterproofing the firecrackers has been completely handed over to them. As for the percussion device of the firecrackers, I think it is better for these blacksmiths to think for themselves! They are the best blacksmiths in the entire Ming Dynasty, so naturally they should have their own thinking ability!"

But Bai Lixiu paused at this point and left a bottom line:
"Of course, if after ten days they haven't come up with a striking device that satisfies His Highness, His Highness can come to me!"

After Bailixiu finished speaking, she jumped away from the battle situation.

And the reason why Bai Lixiu didn't want to be the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of Industry was mainly because the Minister of the Ministry of Industry had to kowtow and kneel before court. Isn't this a joke?To make him kneel down as a traverser, and even a powerful traverser who is capable of taking his head from among the powerful armies, Bailixiu would only do this unless he had a brain hole. The development of Mohism was just a whim.

And when it comes to kowtowing, some people say: the ancients were born with low fate, and the former emperors and ministers of the Yuan Dynasty did not kneel down, and kneeling was brought in by the Mongols.He also said that when Wen Tianxiang was captured, he was the last Chinese standing standing when he saw Kublai Khan bowing his hands and not kneeling.

Kneeling is an ancient ritual in China. The common people kneel down to their parents, and they have long been used to it.And Bai Lixiu has no objection to bowing down to her parents, after all, it was her parents who gave her the grace of raising her!

Later, in order to please the emperor and show themselves, the descendants of Confucianism insisted on adding the concept of monarch and teacher, which made it a hierarchical theory.In the wonderful book "Jin Ping Mei" of the Ming Dynasty, there are many descriptions of kneeling and worshiping.Kneeling among common people seems to have nothing to do with honor, disgrace, or inferiority.

In the Ming Dynasty, when people formally met for the first time, if they were of the same generation, they would generally kowtow to express their supreme respect.The recipient wants to return the gift, and usually puts down the worship mat and "kowtows flat", that is, two people face each other and kowtow.This "flat kowtow" is the respect my brother-in-law Wu Song expressed to his sister-in-law.

The same is raised by parents all over the world, and commoners are not born as ants.In the Zhou Dynasty, which has ruled for nearly 800 years, kneeling worship has been quite perfect. The nine ways of kowtowing in "Zhou Lichun Official", such as Jishou, Dunshou, and Kongshou, are very trivial.But courtesy is only practiced among nobles and officials, which is called "propriety is not inferior to ordinary people".There were no chairs and stools in that fashion, and the ancients sat on the ground, so it was quite convenient to salute.

After the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was basically no need to kneel in court temples.But in the Ming Dynasty, kneeling rituals were revived, and kneeling gradually evolved into ranks, methods, and classes.

Thirteen years after Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the power of the emperor was increasing. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that bowing was not enough. Lao Tzu was the emperor, and all officials had to kowtow: "Officials of the court often kowtow three times, rest happily, and return to work. Xie Sijian resigned Outside the Fengtian Gate, after five prostrations and three kowtows, you will be happy."

Although Bai Lixiu admires Zhu Yuanzhang very much, after all, he has changed from a beggar to the emperor of Ming Dynasty abruptly. This ability is comparable, but Bai Lixiu admires him, but he is not the kind of person who has no bottom line for chasing stars.

Therefore, as a time traveler, it is no problem to help Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty, but if Bai Lixiu, a modern time traveler, is to kneel down, it will be difficult for Bai Lixiu.

Of course, if Bai Lixiu is an ordinary time traveler with no ability or martial arts, for the sake of his own life, it doesn't matter if he kneels, after all, Bai Lixiu still knows which is more important in front of life and self-esteem.

But now that Bailixiu has the ability and strength, there is no need to make herself uncomfortable.

And Zhu Biao looked at Bai Lixiu who had gone away, and he couldn't help but think of the strength that Bai Lixiu showed in order not to kneel when they met for the first time, and he also understood somewhat.

In fact, Zhu Biao didn't like to kneel. Before there was no Hu Weiyong, he only had to bend down and bow when he went to court, but he only got rid of the prime minister Hu Weiyong from his father Zhu Yuanzhang. It was also made out by Zhu Yuanzhang.

And without the position of prime minister, and without a leader among the officials, they would be even more afraid to confront the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang is still the emperor now, so it is hard for Zhu Biao to say anything about this, so Zhu Biao came back to his senses and said to the blacksmiths in the Bingzhan Bureau:

"Anyone who can make a satisfactory percussion mechanism will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

After Zhu Biao said this, he left, fought in battle, and then rushed to the Qianqing Palace where Zhu Yuanzhang stayed. He had to report the conditions Bailixiu said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
