Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

Zhu Youjian's plan was to skip the follow-up gun and directly study the percussion gun, and the percussion gun was only a temporary transition. His final target was a breech-loaded striker gun with a metal cartridge case.

However, even though the gun is skipped, it still requires research and mature mastery of the technology in this link. This is called the accumulation of science and technology.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Zhu Youjian just took out a random sketch and explained a few details. The eyes of all the firearms masters at the Academy of Military Science lit up and they already had ideas in their hearts.

The highly motivated masters worked together, and in just half a day, a crudely made suifu gun was hurriedly built, and the test was successful. The only drawback was that when firing the flint, it was not 100% successful. Still need to continue to improve.

Looking at the motivated firearms masters, Zhu Youjian threw out a sketch of a metal cartridge case fixed-loading breech-loaded striker gun, and along with it, a sketch of a revolver.

The principles of the Suifa gun and the striker gun are similar, but the latter is much more complicated than the Suifa gun because it uses a rear-loading metal fixed cartridge case.

All the gun masters looked at Zhu Youjian as if they were monsters, their eyes full of shock, admiration and admiration.

The emperor is the real firearms master.

I was just having random thoughts for a moment, hehe... Zhu Youjian touched the bridge of his nose and said with a smile. He enjoyed the feeling of being worshiped, it was so satisfying.

A group of firearms masters from the Academy of Military Sciences only had two days to solve the problem of Suifa guns sometimes not firing when fired. Zhu Youjian immediately ordered to stop the production of matchlock guns and go all out to produce Suifa guns.

He also knew that the Suifa gun was put into production in a hurry, and the output would not be much high. However, there were also a lot of sophisticated matchlock guns in reserve. If they were needed urgently, he would have to order arsenals everywhere to produce them. Anyway, the matchlock guns were about to disappear from the stage of history. , then even if the output of guns is not high, if one can be produced, it is considered one.

Zhu Youjian gave himself a three-day holiday. On the second day, he did not go to the military camp to supervise the training, nor did he go to the Academy of Military Science to stay. Instead, he went into his laboratory to tinker with high-power sights for snipers.

After cheating, the glass was taken out, and the telescope was also made. The next step was naturally to make a simple version of the high-power sight. The super high-precision long-range sight like the one used by snipers in later generations is no longer something to think about for the time being. Now it is mastered. The technology is still far from reaching that level.

Making a high-power sight specifically for snipers is much more complicated than a telescope. Just marking the death crosshair caused Zhu Youjian to break nearly a hundred lenses, which made him feel happy.

Damn, I'm really dizzy...

During the break, Zhu Youjian slapped his forehead and scolded himself for being a fool. The majestic Ming Emperor left many of his subordinates unused, but he was so stupid that he wanted to do it himself. Isn't this asking for trouble?

He asked Wang Chengen to find a few nimble little eunuchs, explained it carefully, and then let them do it, while he stood aside to supervise the work. Isn't this uncomfortable?

Not to mention, the hands and feet of these little eunuchs are quite nimble. Although they also broke a lot of lenses, the damage rate was nearly half lower than his. Moreover, this was their first time doing it, and they became more and more skillful with their movements. , the progress is not only accelerated, but the damage rate is also slowly reduced.

Reward, fifty taels of silver each. Zhu Youjian was in a good mood and rewarded him immediately.

No matter how big the pie is, it is better to directly give substantial rewards to stimulate the motivation of the staff.

Sure enough, after the few little eunuchs who were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths took the reward of fifty taels of silver into their pockets, their potential was stimulated, their work became more serious and meticulous, and the damage rate of the lenses was reduced by several percent.

In order not to increase the psychological pressure on the few young eunuchs who were working hard, Zhu Youjian quit the laboratory and sat outside to drink tea and rest.

A young eunuch hurried over and whispered to Wang Chengen. Then Wang Chengen came over and reported in a low voice, Your Majesty, something happened.
