I am the carpenter king

In August of the sixth year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi came to the firearms factory, and as the dragon chariot landed, everyone returned to the ground.Looking at the person in front of him, Emperor Tianqi showed a smile on his face, and said: "Everyone loves you!"

Today Emperor Tianqi came to inspect the industrial zone. After more than half a year of research and development, the Ming Dynasty finally built the first steelmaking industrial zone.Here, with a large-scale steelmaking industry, the entire industrial chain began to form here.

For industrial areas, no matter in later generations or now, they are synonymous with mess and disorder.However, Emperor Tianqi couldn't see these things. Long before Emperor Tianqi came, this place had already been sorted out.The bluestone slab main road is not only spotless, but also sprinkled with some clean water, and the workers who pass by are also clean and tidy.Although there are sanitation management regulations in the industrial area, the best implementation is probably the day when Emperor Tianqi comes.

The industrial zone is built on a mountain, and the halfway up the mountain is full of factory buildings and blast furnaces. At the foot of the mountain, there are a lot of waste and iron ore, and of course there is also iron ore that has just been transported.Walking slowly, Emperor Tianqi picked up a fist-sized iron ore and nodded in satisfaction.

Throwing the ore back, Emperor Tianqi glanced back at Xu Guangqi, and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing, it's really hard work for you. I am very satisfied to have achieved such a great achievement in such a short period of time."

"The emperor's compliments are due to the orders of officials at all levels and local cooperation. If there is no suggestion from the emperor, I am afraid that if I want to do this, I will spend my whole life. I dare not bow, I am just holding the light of the sky. "Although Xu Guangqi's face was exhausted, he still couldn't hide his excitement. It was obvious that he was able to achieve such an achievement, which made him very confident.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi did not entangle Xu Guangqi on this issue, and walked towards the steelmaking blast furnace.While turning around to ask Xu Guangqi, he said, "Xu Aiqing, how is the quality of the steel now? Can it meet the requirements for use?"

"Returning to the emperor, the steel produced by this method is very good and can meet the requirements for use. The lathe workshop has already been able to manufacture simple lathes, and various machines have been put into use. The firearms factory has benefited Because of these machines, the output has increased a lot. After large-scale promotion, the output can be doubled at least." Xu Guangqi looked at his achievements with joy on his face, and he could be said to be the old captain Huai.

He glanced at Xu Guangqi appreciatively, Emperor Tianqi gave some more instructions, and then led the people out of the factory.On the way to the warehouse, Emperor Tianqi finally asked the question he was most concerned about, and said, "Xu Aiqing, it's about the steam engine. Do you have any clues now?"

For Emperor Tianqi, other things are not the most important, only the steam engine is the most critical.The beginning of modern industry is the steam engine. As long as the steam engine can be used, Daming will take the lead in the whole world.This point is very important, and Emperor Tianqi will not relax in the slightest.

Although Xu Guangqi didn't know why Emperor Tianqi valued steam engines so much, he could understand Emperor Tianqi's feelings.He nodded slowly, and said respectfully: "Return to the emperor. Now there are some eyebrows. A simple steam engine has been built, and it can be used in coal mines after an experiment. If simple drainage can be carried out, it must be a steam engine. It will improve a little faster."

Emperor Tianqi originally thought that he just had some clues, but he didn't expect that he had already made a model, so he immediately became interested.Looking at Xu Guangqi with a surprised expression on his face, he said with a smile: "Aiqing really gave me a surprise. If so, Aiqing will take me to have a look."

Xu Guangqi didn't dare to delay in the slightest.Leading the way with a smile, he is no longer the same as before.At the beginning, Xu Guangqi was always worried that Emperor Tianqi was just a whim, and if he had no achievements, Emperor Tianqi would give up the firearms factory.After all, the firearms factory wasted too much money.But now, Yang's worries have long since disappeared.

Everyone in the court has seen the important role of the firearms factory. No matter whether it is artillery or muskets, no one is denying the role of the firearms factory now.

Following Xu Guangqi to the laboratory, Emperor Tianqi was a little surprised.I thought it was just a laboratory with a few houses, but I didn't expect it to be a huge square yard. The entire laboratory looked like an open space surrounded by city walls.The surrounding area is also heavily guarded, with soldiers standing guard and patrolling everywhere.

Emperor Apocalypse only had a rough impression of the steam engine, and had never really seen it.But after looking at the model of the steam engine, Emperor Tianqi knew that this was the correct research direction.

But what Emperor Tianqi didn't expect was that Song Yingxing was in charge of this project, which made Emperor Tianqi more confident.

"Aiqing, let someone try it, I want to see the effect!" Emperor Tianqi greeted Song Yingxing to his side, and said softly.

Hearing the familiar and huge roar, Emperor Tianqi suddenly showed nostalgic expression on his face, and even his eyes were a little red.Looking at the steam engine in operation, Emperor Tianqi knew that his dream was about to come true.

While Emperor Tianqi was inspecting the firearms factory, in another laboratory of the firearms factory, a person was conducting intensive experiments.Although Emperor Tianqi came here, he did not go to pick him up. This was also authorized by Emperor Tianqi. This person is Bi Maokang, the current actual person in charge of the firearms factory.

Bi Maokang was a Jinshi during the Wanli period, and was awarded the official position of Yushi as a member of Zhongshushe.Because of his straightforward personality and hatred of evil, Bi Maokang wrote to impeach the cabinet ministers and was convicted.Although someone later recommended him, he also ended up with an official position as a salt inspector in the Changlu Salt Field.

From the censor to the manager of the saltworks, it can be said that there were ups and downs, and Bi Maokang felt that the future was bleak.The ambition in the chest cannot be displayed, and it can be said that there is no way to serve the country.

However, Emperor Tianqi valued this person very much. How could Emperor Tianqi let go of this talent who invented the hair-breaking gun at the end of the Ming Dynasty?When the firearms factory was established, Emperor Tianqi dropped this person into the firearms factory.

With the support of Emperor Tianqi, Bi Maokang did not disappoint Emperor Tianqi, and the gun was quickly researched.Now it has been equipped in the Beijing camp on a large scale, which made Bi Maokang famous.

Emperor Tianqi also wrote a letter to Bi Maokang, and now he is not only the secretary of the Military Aircraft Department, but also the person in charge of the firearms factory.Everyone can see that Emperor Tianqi is cultivating successors for Xu Guangqi.If nothing else, Xu Guangqi's position in the future will be Bi Maokang's.

After researching the suifa gun, Bi Maokang did not stop researching it, because the Emperor Apocalypse gave him a new target, which was the 28 consecutive fire guns.Emperor Tianqi has coveted this kind of firearm for a long time.

The 28 Lianzhu firearm was invented by Dai Zi during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing Dynasty did not pay much attention to firearms, this kind of firearm disappeared in the long river of history, and Dai Zi's life also ended in tragedy.However, Emperor Tianqi didn't want this kind of firearm to disappear. If he could create 28 consecutive firecrackers, it would definitely improve the combat power of the Ming army.

Emperor Apocalypse was waiting for Bi Maokang to develop this 28-ball gun. When this kind of firearm was installed, the conditions for Emperor Apocalypse to use troops abroad would be ripe.With an army equipped with modern firearms, what Emperor Tianqi can imagine is an invincible posture on the battlefield.

In the army of the Ming army, Lianzi blunderbuss were equipped, and this 28 Lianzi firecracker is the version of Lianzi blunderbuss.Bi Maokang has done a lot of research on Lianzi Guns and Sui-Fa Guns. At this time, it will not take too much effort to develop this 28 Lianzhu Guns.

At this time, Bi Maokang was experimenting with this new type of firearm, the 28 blunderbuss.However, Bi Maokang did not adopt the 28 Lianju mentioned by Emperor Tianqi, but adopted the [-] Lianju.

On the top is a wooden box with an irregular rectangle, which is the magazine of the twenty-shot firecracker.There are twenty miniature bombs inside, this is where Bi Maokang is more advanced than Dai Zi.

Below is a modified quick-fire gun. Looking at the target on the opposite side, Bi Maokang took a deep breath. If the experiment is successful this time, Bi Maokang feels that he will be famous in history.

Gently pull the trigger, boom!Sure enough, Bi Maokang was not disappointed, a bullet hit the target.This greatly boosted Bi Maokang's confidence, because he was too nervous, his forehead was covered with sweat.

After wiping off his sweat, Bi Maokang pulled the trigger again, and the blunderbuss made a crisp sound again, and a puff of white smoke rose immediately!

Bang bang bang!Bi Maokang pulled the trigger one after another, and the bullets were shot out one by one, until the bullets were all fired, Bi Maokang still stood there in a daze.The expression on his face was very complicated, but a few officials on one side celebrated loudly at this time.

Ignoring those officials, Bi Maokang looked down at the firecracker in his hand, gently took off the clip, and said to a person beside him: "Bring me a clip, quick!" The last word, Bi Maokang seemed to shout out with all his strength, and the sound shook the room as if it shook a few times.

Everyone looked at Bi Maokang in surprise, and the people on the side quickly took another magazine and handed it to Bi Maokang respectfully.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bi Maokang put the magazine on again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pulled the trigger forcefully.A series of crisp gunshots sounded again, and the laboratory suddenly fell into joy.After all the bullets were fired, Bi Maokang finally showed a smile on his face, but the smile froze quickly because his body had already fallen backwards.

For this experiment, Bi Maokang hadn't closed his eyes for two days. Now that the experiment was successful, he couldn't stand it anymore.The people on one side rushed over and shouted loudly for help! (To be continued..)
