The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 233 Insufficient Production
Shangguan Qing took out another seven shotguns and loaded them. He walked carefully to the black witch's body and looked at you. After confirming that the black witch was dead, he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Chu Huaitian and Xiyue's eyes as if they had seen a ghost.

Both Chu Huaitian and Xiyue were frightened.What kind of method Shangguan Qing used to retreat, can burst out such terrible destructive power in an instant, it is super dangerous.

Chu Qianhan was also very surprised. He had heard descriptions about firearms, and knew that it was a crossbow activated by gunpowder, which could fire projectiles like a crossbow. He had forgotten about it before returning to the capital.

Shangguan Qing quickly put away the shotgun and hid behind Chu Qianhan and loaded the lamb.

Chu Huaitian really wanted to ask: "Don't you think it's too late?"

Chu Qianhan stood up and said, "It's a black witch. He got a copy of the "Eight Classics Illustrated Book" from somewhere, and started questioning the rest of it, and threatened to kill everyone in the big house."

"It is indeed a black witch." Xiyue testified beside her.

Chu Huaitian squatted down to inspect the black witch's body, and saw that his body was covered with lead bullets, his whole head and body were deformed, if it were an ordinary person's body, he should be beaten into pieces.

"Woooo..." The black witch suddenly moaned.

Shangguan Qing stopped pretending to be a lamb, and took out the shotgun again, and quickly filled the magazine with two bullets in his fingers for backup.

Chu Huaitian stopped him and said, "Don't be nervous, he won't survive." While speaking, he reached into the black witch's arms and took out two space tiger charms. One of the two tiger charms was given to the black witch by the former emperor, and the other was It was snatched from the royal family after defecting.

"It's been 35 years, and it's finally returned to its original owner." Chu Huaitian carefully kept one of the tiger charms, and threw the other tiger charm to Shangguan Qing.

"You killed the man, and the spoils belong to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The more space is prepared, the better, Shangguan Qing did not refuse, she put it in her arms, then put away the shotgun again, and continued to hide behind Chu Qianhan pretending to be a little sheep.

Chu Huaitian gave Shangguan Qing half of the spoils before asking, "What weapon did you use just now? I've never seen it before."

Shangguan Qing knew that she couldn't hide it and said, "Shotguns are bullets filled with gunpowder and fired during battle. This thing has a lot of restrictions and can't get wet. It's expensive. It can only shoot in a straight line. The accurate range is only 15 meters."

Shangguan Qing said a lot of bad things, as if she was afraid that Chu Huaitian would ask her for it.

Chu Huaitian rubbed the space between his brows and asked without grace: "With so much power, do you still want to be perfect?"

"It wasn't designed like this in the first place."

Shangguan Qing showed a small expression of aggrieved, very dissatisfied with the shotgun, Chu Huaitian was the one who got offended this time, and Xiyue also said angrily: "Give it to me if you are not satisfied, my husband is in the southwest mountain The bandits are just short of a handy weapon."

"I'm missing it too." Chu Huaitian also wanted it.

Shangguan Qing had a brainstorm and felt that this was an opportunity. The things she gave to Dongyi and Beiman were too dangerous. Shotguns alone could not suppress them. More powerful weapons were needed. Modern firearms were the best. choose.

The manufacture and use of modern firearms requires a complete industrial system, which means a lot of money. The emperor and the army have always been very rich.

Shangguan Qing said in embarrassment: "This thing is very expensive."

"How much?" Chu Huaitian asked.

"Because it costs [-] gold to make a single product, not to mention cheap, there are two types of gunpowder in the bullet, and the cost of separate synthesis and processing is one gold coin per round." Shangguan Qing didn't dismiss the high price, just the cost price.

The local metallurgical level of Chu State is not yet able to produce excellent spare parts for firearms. The existing spare parts are all made by master craftsmen who have comprehended the vitality in the Craftsmanship Department. The output is limited and the labor is expensive.The gunpowder in the bullet was prepared by Shangguan Qing himself, the labor was expensive, and the cost of keeping it secret was also expensive.

Chu Huaitian said viciously: "I want five thousand equipment for the imperial army, and each gun has one hundred bullets."

Xiyue looked at Shangguan Qing expectantly without saying a word, hoping that her best friend could sell her some.

Shangguan Qing did some calculations and said: "A shotgun costs 150 gold for 140 bullets, and [-] million gold for [-] bullets. According to the current processing speed, it will take [-] years to complete your majesty's order."

"You...I..." Chu Huaitian almost didn't come up in one breath.

"Has it been so long?" Chu Qianhan was surprised this time.

"Three pieces per month is already very fast. Many parts need to be completed by master craftsmen, and the gunpowder also needs to be deployed." Shangguan first talked about the difficulties, and then said: "If the upgrade of the craftsman's iron yard is completed according to my plan, It should be fine to produce firearms reduced to one class."

"Is what you have been doing all this time just to make weapons for the imperial army?" Chu Huaitian was suddenly moved.

"I'm from Chu, so of course I hope the country will be prosperous."

This idea comes from Ling Ling's memory, which is the patriotic overall view cultivated by modern civilization. In this era when the world is ruled by one family, no one will be so persistent and simple in patriotism.

"Okay, just do as you say, I will come as many shotguns as you have in your hand."

"There are only two samples that cannot be given to you."

Shangguan Qing directly refused, this weapon is for personal use, even if Chu Huaitian was the emperor, he wouldn't want to take it away.

The corners of Chu Huaitian's eyes twitched, where did the loyal minister who was dedicated to the country just now refuse the emperor's will, it really is not caring at all.

"Qing'er." Chu Qianhan persuaded from the side.

"No." Shangguan Qing firmly shook her head. "Next month, I will ask the master craftsman to make some spare parts to build a new one for His Majesty. There are only [-] rounds of bullets. I am very busy with work and have no time to prepare gunpowder."

"Why can't the master craftsman build it with all his strength?" Xiyue asked, she hoped that the craftsman would increase the production, so that she could get a shotgun for her husband.

Shangguan Qing replied: "They have more important work, and they just make parts, they don't know what they are making, and I don't intend to tell them." She saved the lives of several master craftsmen with one sentence, Chu Huai Tian thought about killing people.

"Stop standing here, go into the house and talk."

Shangguanqing invited Chu Huaitian and Xiyue into the house to talk. The two were very curious about gun manufacturing, so they followed into the big house and went to the study on the third floor to drink tea and chat.

Shangguan Qing talked about her small industry plan, and showed the sketches of several weapons, explaining the industrialized manufacturing method and the benefits of improving the combat effectiveness of the army.

After Shangguan Qing talked about the principle of maintaining a straight line after the rifled gun is ejected from the chamber, as well as the range and power of the gun, the audience here seemed to have seen a subversive era. For the first time, ordinary people holding guns will have the ability to fight against the strong.

Shangguan Qing concluded: "As long as firearms are popularized, personal force will become insignificant in front of the state machine, and the country will become stronger. Doesn't Your Majesty want to destroy the feudal town? As long as you equip 50 forbidden troops, all enemies will be defeated by you." Step on it."
