However, now my subordinates are very active and I must take a look. Zhu Youxiao knew very well in his heart that this was an encouragement to my subordinates.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said directly: "I'm going with you."

After hearing this, Bi Maokang was immediately excited and hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"You go out and wait first, I'll prepare." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"Yes." Bi Maokang agreed, turned around and walked out.

Bi Maokang is leaving, and Zhu Youxiao is indeed going to the Baike Academy, but some things still need to be arranged.

So Zhu Youxiao turned his head and looked at Chen Hong and said directly: "You ask them to prepare for it and wait for the Baigong Academy. By the way, you must also prepare the rewards you should prepare, do you understand?"

Zhu Youxiao was very clear about the matter he went to inspect. He must do it well. He must take the rewards and things. He cannot go there empty-handedly, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

Although I am the emperor, it is not possible to not reward me if I have made merits. Even in later generations, leaders will bring many preferential policies when inspecting local areas.

You can't solve the problem and can't bring benefits. What are you doing? Are you asking for trouble?

No one welcomes such a leader.

Although Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, had to follow this law.

This is not the first time Chen Hong has done this kind of thing, so he knows it. After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Hong agreed: "Don't worry, I will do it well."

The emperor wants to leave the palace, so the preparation time will naturally not be short.

There is no need to make special preparations for the security work. Because Zhu Youxiao has always had a guard team. Besides, this is in the capital, so there is no need to make a big fuss.

After Zhu Youxiao changed his clothes and was ready, Qi Yuangong was already waiting outside.

Beside Qi Yuangong is Zhu Youxiao's guard team. The equipment of these people is different from ordinary guards. They are not as bright and beautiful, but they look a little bloated.

That's because these people were full of equipment. Although there were only three hundred people, fighting a small war was enough, and their firepower was sufficient.

The group left the palace and rushed directly to the Baigong Academy.

The people in the Baigong Academy naturally had already received the news and had been waiting at the door.

When he arrived at the Baigong Academy, Zhu Youxiao looked at the person kneeling on the ground and said directly: "Let's not give me any gifts."

After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao said: "You have done your best to make the tasks of the CAI well completed, and I am very pleased. I heard that you have something very good again, so I will take a look."

"I have brought some wine and meat, and you can eat and drink it. After I have seen the things, I will reward you according to my merits."

The wine and meat brought by Zhu Youxiao were all distributed to the craftsmen of the Baigong Academy. You should know that although they usually eat well, they are forbidden to drink.

Now that the emperor has come, he naturally lets go of the ban. Moreover, the emperor brings good meat, enough for these craftsmen to have a meal.

"Long live your Majesty!"

"Long live!"

Long live sounds around.

After these people left, Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said, "Take me to take a look. Since you invite me here so sincerely, you think you have made arrangements."

"Your Majesty is not as wise as you." Bi Maokang said hurriedly.

All parts of the Baigong Institute have already set up posts.

Bi Maokang led Zhu Youxiao into it. After passing through a corridor, Bi Maokang pointed to the yard in front and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Musket Research Institute, and the flintlock rifle that was manufactured is placed here."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said, "Then hurry up and go in and have a look."

Zhu Youxiao was very interested in flintlock rifle and liked it very much. After all, it was the most advanced musket of this era.

Although there are also rotary muskets, the error rate is too high and the effect is not good. The most important thing is that they are expensive and there is no way to get equipment on a large scale.

Under the leadership of Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao stepped into the musket courtyard and soon saw a group of people inside.

However, the leaders of the Musket Academy were welcomed here. They were waiting on the side, waiting to be questioned by the emperor at any time.

Soon, someone carried out a box with an open lid, which contained a built-in flintlock rifle.

Before Chen Hong could set off, Zhu Youxiao directly reached out and picked up a flintlock rifle.

The cold touch made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied.

After a quick look and checking, Zhu Youxiao smiled on his face.

The flintlock rifle in front of him finally made Zhu Youxiao feel a little familiar. The only difference from the original flintlock rifle is that the clamp under the butt stock in front has not been designed, and there is a place where the bayonet is hung.

After checking the trigger and looking at the muzzle, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

Turning his head to look at Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao said, "Let's take it to the shooting range to try the power."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed with a smile.

Your Majesty is satisfied with the research, which is the greatest praise for him. Bi Maokang's heart is full of accomplishment.

"Is there anything else here at the Musket Academy?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and asked.

"When you go back to your Majesty, you have also developed a continuous short gun." Bi Maokang looked at Zhu Youxiao with a somewhat awkward expression on his face: "It's just that the research has just begun, and there are many problems that have not been solved yet."

"Is that so? Take it for a look." Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said with interest: "Is there any sample?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, some." Bi Maokang quickly agreed.

Following Bi Maokang's words, someone next to him brought the thing over.

This is really a short gun. It is only the length of a human forearm, but it is very thick. The muzzle is even the size of a bowl, and it is very heavy.

No matter how you look at this thing, it doesn't look like a short gun, but rather a clumsy short gun.

Bi Maokang explained, "Your Majesty, this is just a sample of the first generation. The square box underneath is the place to load marbles. There is a push rod next to it. After firing the gun, you can push the push rod up, and the marbles are pushed into the chamber."

"There is a launching medicine here, and there is a switch here. As long as the switch is swinged, the ammunition will leak. This is the flint fire. As long as the trigger is pulled, the flint fires and ignites the gunpowder, which will push the projectiles in the chamber. Each time it can fire about thirty shots, killing a piece in front of you."

"But there is a problem now, and the airtightness cannot be solved. After the gunpowder leaks, it is easy to ignite the gunpowder in the gunpowder chamber when it is ignited, causing the entire broken gun to explode. We are still thinking of ways, but there is no way to mass produce it for the time being."

No matter how Zhu Youxiao looks at this thing, it is all inappropriate.

Seeing His Majesty's appearance, Bi Maokang explained from the side: "It is easy to solve this problem with granular gunpowder, but it is easy to get stuck. We are also thinking of ways. After this problem is solved, we should be able to improve it."

After hearing Bi Maokang's words, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It's great, you have to make a bold attempt."

Although this thing looks inconsistent, it actually has very advanced ideas. For example, using gunpowder to launch steel balls, this is how shotgun is used.

If it can be made, it is really a good thing. But the size is not good now.

In a word, it is impossible to solve the problem of metal fixed ammunition, and many things cannot be done.

"Study it slowly, don't be anxious." Zhu Youxiao instructed and handed the heavy guy in his hand to the person next to him.

It's really tiring to hold this thing in your hand for a while, and Zhu Youxiao's arms are sore.

"Go to the next place to have a look." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed and turned to lead the way.

After passing through several more yards, we arrived at the back yard. Obviously, the distance between the two research departments was far enough.

Pointing to the yard in front of him, Bi Maokang said, "Your Majesty, this is the Artillery Research Institute."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and followed Bi Maokang into it.

After stepping in, there is a spacious square. There are various cannons of different sizes in front of them. Judging from the material, they should have been separated from copper. This is a steel cannon.

A large part of the efforts of the Baike Academy actually spends on the research and development of materials. Because only when the materials are improved can the cost be reduced, they are very attentive to it.

In fact, by this time, the Baigong Academy can no longer move on the front-loading guns.

Large-caliber, small-caliber, and even front-loading cannons that fire shots can be manufactured by Baigong Academy. For example, the red-clothed cannon in history, there is no problem with the Baigong Academy, it is nothing more than a material problem.

Now the material problem is no longer a problem with the Baike Academy, so their main research direction has been placed on fixed-load shells.

Metal fixed-mounted shells cannot be solved, and the power of the cannon is difficult to greatly improve.

"Your Majesty, for the detonating drug, we have tried to produce mercury lysate, but there is no way to solve the problem of mass production. We have to continue to work hard in this regard. We have already produced a metal fixed-load shell."

Bi Maokang said in front of Zhu Youzhao: "But it will probably take a long time to mass production."

In this regard, Bi Maokang really dared not guarantee the case. The distance between the test items and mass production is too great, and there are still many problems that need to be solved for the fixed-load shell I made before.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang, nodded and said, "Don't be anxious, take your time. It is a great achievement for you to achieve within five years."

Although Zhu Youxiao told Bi Maokang a lot, what Zhu Youxiao said was only one result, and the specific research process still needs Bi Maokang and the others to do it.

The things here are too complicated, but with the answer, it will save some effort in the derivation and solution process.

Bi Maokang quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I understand."

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao did not show any disappointment, Bi Maokang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly: "We have made the rockets that Your Majesty said."
Chapter completed!
