Chapter 81: The Vast City Wall is not inferior to the Great Wall!!!
The construction of the Qi royal palace was mainly handed over to the Marquis of Jiangyin.
Zhu Rong’s main energy was to keep an eye on the progress of the asphalt road construction, and second, the progress of the weapons workshop.
The development of rifles can be roughly disassembled into two major structures.
First of all, naturally, it is the gun body itself, and secondly, it is the bullet.
At first glance, the development and manufacture of the gun body should be more difficult, after all, the size is large, not the bullet gadget can compare. However, in the actual development process, bullets are the hardest.
Because the bullet must be mass-produced and standardized, and there is no decent stamping process in ancient times, the progress of research and development has to be slowed down, it seems, the small bullet is inconspicuous, but the technical content is still relatively high.
Zhu Rong is idle, just come to the weapons workshop to take a walk, he can not do much, technical things can not help, but for the living conditions of craftsmen, a casual wave of the hand, can greatly improve.
All the craftsmen in the weapons workshop are the best paid among all the hired workers in the Qi royal palace and the army.
The dishes in Taibai Restaurant are basically available here, and they are made in different ways every day.
There is no need for a special man to help them cook. They take it directly for themselves and put whatever they want in the lunch box.
This is also the first place in the Daming Dynasty to hold a buffet.
There are many stir-fried dishes such as fried chicken fillets, roast duck, Dongpo elbows and many other stir-fried dishes that you can’t eat outside.
It’s not good to say, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn’t dare to eat like this.
The craftsmen were naturally grateful to Dai De, and they worked harder to develop rifles for His Royal Highness King Qi.
Soon after, these clever craftsmen really thought of a solution.
The ancients liked to use the power of the water flow to help themselves work, so some craftsmen proposed that 020 drive the machinery to run through the impact of the water flow falling from a high place.
Then, through the rotation of the gears, the conduction of power, and through the principle of the lever, a powerful impact erupts.
There are many mountains outside Qingzhou City, and one of the hills has a water source all year round.
When the water is abundant, there are also small waterfalls.
The location is very suitable.
The craftsmen proposed to Zhu Rong to build another workshop at the foot of this hill.
Zhu Rong naturally had no opinion, immediately mobilized manpower, and built the workshop in a few days.
The craftsmen instructed the soldiers and, according to their design drawings, began to build huge power transmission machinery.
Simply put, there is a huge reservoir at the top of the mountain, and the reservoir passes through the water outlet below, along the pipe, all the way down, and falls on the conduction mechanism below.
Subsequently, the force is transmitted to the terminal by a huge device.
There are levers, gears, belts, and the structure is delicate and complex.
Eventually, the conducted force can be used to pound the iron, and it can also be used to press the die.
And solved this puzzle, all that remains is the gunpowder inside the bullet and the specific structure of the bullet.
Especially gunpowder, if the right gunpowder cannot be developed, even the most precise bullet casings cannot exert their power.
Zhu Rong simply adopted the tactic of a sea of people, divided them into a small group, each group was responsible for the configuration of different proportions of gunpowder ingredients, and then, constantly carried out experiments.
Finally compare the data to see which group has the strongest and most stable gunpowder.
The process was difficult and brutal, and before the right proportion of gunpowder could be found, three people were killed and more than 50 injured.
But the effort paid off, and finally, through this way of surfing the sand, the optimal ratio of gunpowder was found.
The bullet casing, on the other hand, is mainly composed of three parts, the first is the warhead, followed by the middle shell, and the inside is the gunpowder.
And at the end, there is also a primer, which is responsible for igniting gunpowder.
To put it simply, when the rifle fires bullets, there is a firing pin responsible for hitting the bullets, which is equivalent to the role of a hammer and matches the fire table in the bottom fire chamber. And this fire tower is equivalent to the role of a cutting board. After the impact, the primer is squeezed, and the gunpowder is ignited, creating an explosive flame.
For Zhu Rong, this is a very troublesome thing, and it is very difficult to listen to.
But the craftsmen still found a way to design a complete bullet.
On the other side, the main structure of the gun body was also born.
The prototype of the rifle was developed!
Now, only one bullet can be fired at a time.
But it doesn’t matter, Zhu Rong was already very surprised to be able to develop the prototype of the rifle in such a short time.
Among them, the biggest credit naturally depends on the craftsmen who exchange from the system, who have a complete technical system and experience, and drive the assembled craftsmen to quickly create the prototype of the rifle according to the existing conditions.
Although these craftsmen consumed a lot of his experience points, it now seems that it is definitely worth it.
Zhu Rong sent several soldiers to conduct tests, and after many tests, it was found that the maximum range of this rifle can reach 3 meters!
The effective range is 2 meters, and if the enemy is wearing armor, the effective distance to deal damage to the armor is 66 meters!
For this test result, Zhu Rong is still very satisfied, 2 meters is already a relatively long distance.
What is the concept of 2 meters?
2 meters is equivalent to half of the stadium track!
At this distance, it has been able to exert a very strong lethality on the battlefield!
Of course, this rifle could not compete with later advanced rifles, especially the accuracy was not so high, but he perfectly solved the problem of explosive chambers.
After extensive testing, the rifle jammed, but was not easily discharged.
The probability of blowing up the chamber is extremely low!
This can form effective protection for soldiers, at least not due to the problem of the gun itself, resulting in casualties of their own soldiers, which can greatly enhance the trust of soldiers in this rifle.
After a long run-in, one sharpshooter after another will definitely be trained.
In the troops, there are relatively few sharpshooters, because the accuracy of the firearm is so poor, it mainly relies on salvos to compensate for this error.
However, the accuracy of the rifle is relatively accurate, although it cannot be compared with later rifles, and it is necessary to make up for this defect by salvo, but he already has the conditions to train sharpshooters.
As long as the gunner runs in with the rifle he uses for a long time, he can master the characteristics of this rifle and habitually deviate when shooting, making the bullet flight trajectory more accurate.
Zhu Rong was so excited that he directly rewarded each craftsman with 5 taels of silver!
The most outstanding craftsmen will be rewarded with an additional 1 silver!
And, tell them that as long as the rifle is used for burst firing, each person will be allocated another building!
There was a cheer in the weapons workshop!
In this era, craftsmen belong to a relatively lowly industry.
Readers can’t look at them at all, they feel like a group of guys who don’t do their jobs, it’s better to grow crops in the field honestly.
And they didn’t expect that this weapon and equipment they developed would allow them to get such a rich return!
And most importantly, His Royal Highness King Qi attaches too much importance to them!
They can feel this indescribable sense of pride and glory, compared to the silver two they have obtained, it is what they are most proud of being recognized by His Royal Highness King Qi.
And the problem of burst fire requested by Zhu Rong is actually to design a magazine for this rifle.
Realize the automatic reloading problem of bullets, which can greatly save the time of soldiers to fill bullets, forming a more intensive and long-term fire output.
And even now this rifle can already be equipped with the army and play a powerful role on the battlefield!
And just before the successful development of this rifle, the Qi Royal Mansion had been completely built, and Jiangyin Hou also moved all kinds of expensive furniture to the Qi Royal Mansion and arranged it properly.
Zhu Rong and Jiangyin Hou walked in the Qi Palace, enjoying the scenery everywhere, with mountains and waters, and the scenery was unique.
Zhu Rong is very satisfied, but he feels that the scale is a bit large, this whole, you have to walk for half a day when you go out!
Of course, there is also a road in the royal palace dedicated to carriage walking, which can speed up.
He and Jiangyin Hou walked around the Qi Royal Mansion for two hours before turning around the palaces and scenery.
Especially satisfied with the winding river through the royal palace, you can fish here, you can also row here, even if you swim.
And just when the first snow in Qingzhou City, Zhu Rong received news that a large number of people appeared outside Qingzhou City.
Zhu Rong was a little confused, and immediately sent someone to check it again.
Before the man could come back to report, Zhu Yuanzhang had already sent someone over to inform him, asking him to immediately greet him outside Qingzhou City!
Zhu Yuanzhang brought Empress Ma, Concubine Dading, and people from the Wu family from Yingtianfu to rush over!
Hearing this news, Zhu Rong and Jiangyin Hou were dumbfounded!
The two of them never dreamed that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not stay in Yingtianfu and travel thousands of miles to Qingzhou City!
And there is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang brought such a large group of people to Qingzhou City just to marry him!
Jiangyin Hou was so excited that he was about to cry!
Zhu Rong hurriedly said: “Father-in-law, turn around and cry again, quickly change your clothes and greet your father and emperor!” ”
Jiang Yinhou hurriedly held back: “Ao, yes, yes, yes!” ”
On the other side, the prefect of Qingzhou also received the news and hurried to greet him.
On the main road, it happened to meet with Zhu Rong’s men and horses.
Zhu Rong took many officials and went out of the city en masse.
The prefect of Qingzhou urgently informed the people inside the Yamen to let the stalls and vendors close to both sides of the road, so that the two main roads of Qingzhou City, east, west, south and north looked more spacious and tidy.
The residents of Qingzhou City, after hearing the news, also rushed out and went straight to the south gate.
In this era, it is not easy to meet the emperor’s honor guard, most people will never see it in their lives, and they want to come out and open their eyes!
For a time, the whole city was sensational!
Without hundreds of surnames, they followed Zhu Rong, Qingzhou Governor and other gangs and went out from the south gate.
At this moment, the city wall has been built!
It’s 30 meters high!
Everyone first passed through the original gate, then through the new gate, and came to the outside of the south gate.
Riding on a horse, looking at it from a distance, a large area of Wu Pressure is slowly coming from the south!
