The group soon entered the Baigong Academy.

After several expansions, the scale of the Baigong Institute has expanded a lot. In addition to scientific researchers, many skilled craftsmen have also been recruited here.

The role of these craftsmen is very simple, which is to turn the researched things into real objects. Compared with those of design and scientific research, the role of these craftsmen is very critical. After all, they have many skills that others have never mastered, and their ideas are also very important when making them.

When he walked into the Baigong Academy, Zhu Youxiao looked around from time to time.

Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao has not been here for a while. In addition to giving money, his inquiries about this place are really low. Now this place has made him feel a little unfamiliar.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Bi Maokang and said with a gentle smile: "Take me around and take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang quickly agreed, led the way forward for a few steps, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, we can walk here ahead, but we may have to take a carriage if we are farther away."

The Baigong Institute is really too big. You could walk around before, but now it is not.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Okay, don't worry. I have some free today."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed again, turned around and led the way, introducing: "This is the place to make shells."

"After the finalization, two types of shells were mainly made here. One was the shell of the mortar, and the other was the shell of the mountain cannon."

Zhu Youxiao nodded gently.

He knew that there were only two types of artillery that were set in the Ming Dynasty. It was not that he did not want to expand, but that the conditions were limited, so he could only produce two of them first. And in Zhu Youxiao's view, these two were enough.

One of them is a mortar, which needs to be said to be light in weight and is used for short-range attacks.

The second type is mountain cannon, which adopts the form of artillery is Miss France, that is, Italian cannon.

In addition to these two types of artillery, there is another type of sea artillery that has been successfully developed, but has not been manufactured yet.

This kind of artillery is installed on a warship. Now the cannon has been installed for testing. If it is appropriate, it will be mass-produced. The navy began to build a production base. After obtaining first-hand data, it will be modified and started to build.

Under the leadership of Bi Maokang, Zhu Youxiao went in and visited, mainly looking at copper shells.

Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty was still in a loss, and there were not many copper mines that were easy to mine. The Ming Dynasty needed more copper, so it could only find a way to plunder from outside. North Korea and Japan were both within the scope of plunder.

In addition, there is also the south, where there are more copper mines. After Zhu Youxiao cleaned up the north, he would naturally reach out to the south, and then there would be plenty of shells to use in the Ming Dynasty.

After the artillery was made, the group got on the carriage.

After walking out for a while, I stopped at the entrance of a yard.

Zhu Youxiao also walked out of the car again.

Bi Maokang also followed up and said, "This is the Artillery Academy, the place for the research and development and casting of artillery. I have asked someone to prepare a performance to perform martial arts for His Majesty later."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "Don't mess around with the weather so cold. I've seen it last time. I know your contributions and will not be buried. After this manufacturing task is completed, you will get rewards you should have."

"I thank Your Majesty." Bi Maokang said, unable to help but sigh that it is really comfortable to do things under such an emperor. I need money and policies.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew very well what Bi Maokang thought, and the rewards had never been delayed, and he would give some extras during festivals. It can be said that the treatment was very generous.

Moreover, Bi Maokang and others have a very high status. Most of them have given official positions. Although they are empty titles, they have all the treatment they deserve.

After visiting the artillery factory, Zhu Youxiao was also excited. Of course, he came here not only to see the artillery factory.

He had known about these things for a long time and had seen them before he left last time.

Even the rocket factory has seen it, which produces brand new rockets, equipped with new flames, which are stronger and have a longer range. With a new ignition method, you only need to pull the wire and do not need to ignite it.

This kind of rocket is regarded as a strategic weapon by Zhu Youxiao, and it has a very advantageous move to fight. In this regard, Zhu Youxiao will not reduce its investment.

Whether it was the later single-soldier rocket launcher or multiple rockets, they had special significance in the Ming Dynasty, and they could also be used in the navy, with very, very good results.

The missile is not yet at the moment, but the investment in scientific research in this area cannot be reduced, but it must be increased.

What really attracted Zhu Youxiao to come here was Bi Maokang and others who created the metal bullets. This is something Zhu Youxiao has always been looking forward to.

After the metal fixed-loading shell was developed, the metal fixed-loading bullet was put on the agenda, and the development of the gun was put on the agenda. These two things are what Zhu Youxiao valued the most.

With metal fixed-loading bullets, the hand-cranked Gatling's rate of fire can reach 1,200 rounds per minute. This rate of fire can form a strong attack power. This weapon is amazing when dealing with cavalry.

In addition, there is also a rear-loaded gun that can carve rifle and achieve accurate shooting.

In the past, muskets required evacuation, but now there is no need for this. One bullet can destroy an enemy. This situation can only be done, otherwise there would be no hope at all.

"Your Majesty, this is the musket factory." Bi Maokang said with a bit of pride in his tone.

Indeed, he should be proud too.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, took the lead and walked inside.

Bi Maokang introduced next to him: "The ones produced here are pistols, and the ones produced at the back are spears."

"Is there any finished product? Take a look." Zhu Youxiao said directly.

"Go back to Your Majesty, there is." After saying that, Bi Maokang winked at the people around him.

They had actually made preparations long ago and everything was ready. After the emperor came, they could show it to the emperor as soon as possible.

Soon, someone walked up with a box.

After Bi Maokang took it, he opened the box in front of Zhu Youxiao.

A pistol lies quietly inside the box. The yellow gun body looks very kind.

Zhu Youxiao reached out and grabbed the gun. After getting it, he was very powerful. It was a revolver.

At this time, the production process and difficulty of revolver are much lower and easy to use.

"Do you have bullets?" Zhu Youxiao asked directly as he looked at Bi Maokang.

"Go back to Your Majesty, there is." Bi Maokang agreed, waved to another person in the distance.

The man ran over with a box.

The box contains bullets.

All dangers should be avoided in front of the emperor. When making arrangements, Bi Maokang placed the bullets and guns on the two people, and arranged for people to look at the two people, so that they would not get together.

To put it bluntly, no one except the emperor can combine the bullets and guns of this gun.

Although everyone here is trustworthy, who knows if anyone will get twitched?

The emperor is absolutely impossible for him to appear on the brink of any danger.

He glanced at Bi Maokang with appreciation, and Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, these things have been arranged long ago, and Zhu Youzhai’s personal guards have also tested them. Otherwise, they would not have allowed people to bring things to Zhu Youzhai like this. Moreover, Zhu Youzhai’s personal guards were also watching behind the two.

After opening the box, Zhu Youxiao saw Huang Chengcheng bullets lying inside.

After seeing these things, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but reach out to touch them.

For eight years, he has invested tens of millions of silver here.

In this era, this is a huge investment, and now it has finally achieved results.

With his own guidance and the efforts of Bi Maokang's men, the bullet was finally made.

Zhu Youxiao reached out to pick up the bullets, put them one by one into the revolver's wheel, and then gently buckled them.

Zhu Youxiao said to everyone: "Everyone stands behind me, I want to try the gun."

Everyone hurriedly hid behind Zhu Youxiao.

Some people also want to come forward and persuade him. After all, this thing is too dangerous. It is not good to hurt yourself or your Majesty.

At the same time, someone turned to look at Bi Maokang, not only with a questioning look, but also with a threatening look.

That's very simple, is your thing safe?

Bi Maokang looked bitter, and he didn't want the emperor to experiment.

Although this gun and these bullets have been repeatedly inspected, no one can guarantee 100% success in this thing.

If there is any problem, you will hurt Your Majesty and everyone will be finished.

Zhu Youxiao ignored this and turned the pistol twice in his hand, then aimed in front of him.

Of course, there must be no target or anything like that. Zhu Youxiao didn't want to hit him anywhere, he just wanted to shoot him.

He snatched the trigger.

With a "bang", smoke from the muzzle rose, and a recoil instantly reached Zhu Youxiao's arm.

Although he didn't hit him back a few steps, he shook his body, and his hand shivered when he held the gun, and the bullet flew out diagonally.

Not to mention the shooting accuracy of this kind of shooting, it is already a good performance if you don’t shoot at your teammates. It is not impossible to hit your teammates.

Although his arms were numb because of the shock, Zhu Youxiao was still very happy.

Good stuff.

He handed the gun to the personal guard behind him, and Zhu Youxiao said, "Let's go, continue to look at the spear you made."

The world's first rear-loading spear and firing metal fixed-loading warheads is really a good thing.

Compared to the Minnie bomb, this kind of thing is an epoch-making invention.
