Kangxi really didn't assign him a new job, but only invited him to the palace from time to time to accompany him, where the father and son could eat, chat, and so on.

Lao Shi is not the most talkative person, but after spending time with Yuan Wense, his words can't help but become more pleasant.

Because life is sweet and satisfying every day, he is very good at being pampered and good at pampering others.

This is the kind of skill that people who live unsatisfactory lives in the harsh winter cannot possibly learn.

It is very pleasant and relaxing to get along with such people.

Emperor Kangxi and Lao Shi also developed many common hobbies. For example, Lao Shi was particularly fond of the improvement and creation of various weapons. He was the one who liked to use muskets and artillery the most. He felt that the current research work of the Xishan Firearms Camp was still too much.

If you are lagging behind, spend more money on this and research good weapons, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in fighting a war.

For example, although the current red cannon is good, it has obvious shortcomings, such as poor transportation.

Can you find a weapon that is much more powerful than a gun, similar to a cannon, but much lighter than a cannon and easy to carry?

Lao Shi was drawing pictures, and Kangxi sometimes helped him with calculations. Lao Shi looked at Kangxi with a completely confused face, and was so amazed that Huang Ama was the emperor, and his calculation ability was so strong.

Kangxi found new fun and spent half a day with Lao Shi from time to time.

With Kangxi's participation, he simply used the weapons for public and personal use and let Lao Shi have any ideas and go directly to the Xishan Firearms Camp to have them done. Of course, the results were Lao Shi's private.

As for whether inventions are meant for public use, they definitely are.

Kangxi had no regard for Lao Shi at this point. If you invent and create better weapons and don't give them to the public, you are preparing to rebel.

Mukden is now the commander-in-chief of the Xishan Firearms Battalion, and he has a close relationship with him in charge of manufacturing operations.

I heard that it was the Long Live Lord who ordered me to help Prince Dun make some gadgets. Who wouldn’t want to? The equipment here can be said to be the most sophisticated in the Qing Dynasty. Some of them are not hard enough, so we directly use cast iron here.

I heard that the stuff fell from the sky and was a rarity in other places. There were several thousand kilograms of it in the Xishan Firearms Camp, and they were said to have been collected from various places.

With this blessing, Lao Shi was very satisfied. In addition to shooting more accurate crossbows, he began to study muskets.

The muskets at this time were different from modern ones. They were mainly made of castings of barrels, which were not very accurate. There were gaps in the bullet plugs, so the bullets were not the same size. They also had to be wrapped with a piece of skin and poked with wire when used.

It’s not that no one has thought about improving the continuous firing technology, because the barrel of the continuous firing gun is too hot, and if it is not fired well, it will explode and injure one's own people.

The barrel made of dead iron at this time has a carefully carved inner bore. It cannot be said to be 100% natural, but at least it is very different from the crudely made one.

In this way, the specifications of the bullet can be determined, and with some comments from Yuan Wenser and Lao Shi, a repeating rifle can finally be produced.

Five bullets are fired at a time, instead of reloading bullets like a revolver, and the magazine is changed directly.

The gun is one foot long and weighs about seven pounds, which is not bad for a man. It fires five rounds of bullets in a row. If the range is accurate, its lethality is better than that of a bow and arrow. Moreover, this thing can be carried around the waist, tied to the leg, and inserted into the long
