Chapter 035: R & D Flintlock

In the Royal Military Factory, there was a bustling scene. On one side was a civilian production area, where various agricultural tools were being produced and carriages needed for grain transportation were being produced.&1t;/p>

The carriage drawings were drawn by Zhu Youxiao. As a science researcher, it is relatively easy to draw a simple carriage drawing. The design is nothing more than widening the bearing shaft and strengthening it to prevent the carriage from shaking, and adding springs to reduce vehicle bumps.&1t;/p>

Craftsmen can still make things like springs. Even if they are more complicated things, there is actually no big problem for craftsmen to make them. Because precision machinery is made by people. Even in the 21st century, precision manufacturing still relies on manual cutting. However, in ancient times, there was no need to use sophisticated things, so craftsmen generally did not make them sophisticated, but it does not mean that they cannot make them. It is just a cost issue involving high efficiency.&1t;/p>

If Zhu Youxiao wants to get a steam engine now, it is probably not a big problem. However, considering that the current financial tightness is currently in a tight position and there is not so much money to invest in it, I would like to forget it for the time being.&1t;/p>

During the manufacturing process of the carriage drawings, the craftsmen made some modifications and quickly created various models of four-wheeled carriages.&1t;/p>

The four-wheeled carriage mainly carries a large cargo capacity and is relatively stable, but the requirements for roads are relatively high, so the pipelines built by the Ming Dynasty can still be used.&1t;/p>

With a four-wheeled carriage, a horse can pull a weight of 2,000 kilograms (including a carriage). If it is a poor service horse, pulling 1,500 kilograms is not a big problem. Moreover, the number of horses in a car can be flexibly changed, and you can pull a car with a single horse or a dozen horses together.&1t;/p>

However, if the number of horses reaches a certain level, it is only for the emperor to use, so it is impossible for civilians to create so many horses to pull the same car.&1t;/p>

On this day, Zhu Youxiao came to the Royal Military Factory again and brought Cao Jinyu with him.&1t;/p>

Cao Jinyu immediately felt very satisfied when he saw these four-wheeled carriages in the military factory. In addition to these four-wheeled carriages, there are also two-wheeled carriages, four-wheeled ox carriages, two-wheeled ox carriages, etc.&1t;/p>

In addition, craftsmen in military factories have also built various hydraulic machinery for processing grain.&1t;/p>

"How about it, these things can make you compete with other grains?" Zhu Youchao asked Cao Jinyu, who answered confidently: "I think I am very sure."&1t;/p>

"Okay, you can go to Royal Bank for loans in terms of funds. You can lay out the network immediately and prepare for this year's summer harvest." Zhu Youchao ordered Cao Jinyu.&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor." Cao Jinyu Cao Jinyu immediately built grain processing points, warehouses and other facilities in river areas with abundant water.&1t;/p>

A grain transportation and processing network is gradually forming.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao called the craftsmen together in the Royal Military Factory and announced in person: "I have a task to you. Who can design a musket that is slammed with flint? I will grant him a hundred households of the Jinyiwei and reward one thousand taels of silver."&1t;/p>

After hearing this, a large group of craftsmen in the military factory suddenly buzzed with surprise. At this time, there were more than 4,000 craftsmen in the military factory, especially after the craftsmen in Chenyang arrived.&1t;/p>

Almost all the craftsmen have their eyes shining, a thousand taels of silver! That is what they can earn if they have worked for decades!&1t;/p>

Can you also seal the Jinyiwei hundred households!&1t;/p>

Seeing that the enthusiasm of the craftsmen had been mobilized, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Now the muskets use fuses to make some medicine, which is very troublesome. But if it is replaced with flint, it will be more convenient. Is it difficult to achieve this? In fact, it is not difficult at all. As long as everyone goes back and thinks about a plan carefully. If one person can't think of it, then two people think together, and several people think together, and then there will be a reward for merit and practice."&1t;/p>

The excited craftsmen soon dispersed and went to collect a comb, and then began to think about it. Many historically, it is not that the technology is not that it is not very difficult, but what is lacking is ideas. Of course, some people do have some ideas, but individuals are subject to many limitations and cannot complete it.&1t;/p>

Flintstones are not very complicated things, they are just mechanical devices. No one has studied them before, and some have never thought of using flints to ignite gunpowder. Some have thought of them, but they have no motivation to study them, or the conditions do not allow them to study them.&1t;/p>

The environment of the Royal Military Factory is different at this time. It has sufficient material conditions, tools and materials in research, and there are also people who can communicate. There are also rich rewards to lure craftsmen to compete in this regard.&1t;/p>

After Zhu Youxiao announced the reward, the flintshu were basically a foregone conclusion, just like a broken window paper, which would definitely be successfully studied. You only need to wait patiently for a while, or only a few days.&1t;/p>

With flints, the combat effectiveness of musketeers will also be greatly improved. First, the use of musketeers is not affected by wind and rainy weather, and then because the flints are no longer used, musketeers can be arranged more densely, thereby increasing the firepower density.&1t;/p>

After Zhu Youxiao came out of the military factory, he drove back to the palace. When he returned to the palace, it was getting darker.&1t;/p>

"Emperor, I've returned to the palace so late. Have you had a meal outside?" Seeing Zhu Youxiao returning to the palace, Keshi hurriedly asked. Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said, "Not yet!"&1t;/p>

"Little Photon, go to the imperial kitchen to teach the emperor food." Keshi said to Yang Guang.&1t;/p>

"I'll go now." Yang Guang hurriedly went to the meal. Ke Shi scolded Zhu Youxiao again, saying that he stayed in the military camp all day, and many geniuses returned to the palace.&1t;/p>

"Mr., when I train the Beijing camp, I don't have to stay in the military camp every day." Zhu Youxiao smiled and Keshi sighed, saying, "There are not many civil and military officials in the court who are reliable."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao also sighed. If most of the civil and military officials in the court were reliable, they would not be about to destroy the country!&1t;/p>

In history, which dynasty was not killed by its own people?&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty was no exception. Obviously, the Ming Dynasty was facing a "capitalist revolution" at this time. If the emperor was accidentally killed, the businessmen and reactionary officials would be removed.&1t;/p>

Today, Zhu Youxiao returned to the palace, mainly because he would go to the morning court tomorrow. After a while, Shangshen Supervisor uploaded the imperial meal. Zhu Youxiao was having dinner while thinking about how to deal with those cultural hooligans tomorrow morning.&1t;/p>

"Emperor, Wang An asks for a meeting." Yang Guang came in to report.&1t;/p>

"Just say I'm tired, I'll talk about anything tomorrow, let him go back first!" Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to pay attention to Wang An, a rebellious boy. At this time, Zhu Youxiao was safer in the palace. It was basically impossible for Wang An to assassinate him or kill him. If you want to overthrow his throne, you can only mutiny.&1t;/p>

At this time, there were only 50,000 troops left in the Beijing camp, which was already under the control of Zhu Youxiao. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao still had 6,000 cavalry, and it was impossible for mutiny to occur in the capital.&1t;/p>

In the past, Zhu Youxiao was afraid of being killed in a confused manner, so he gave Wang Anhao a look. Now he is no longer afraid, so he is naturally too lazy to waste his expression with such a guy who is destined to die.ps: The cold is cured, and today the second update is updated. Thank you brothers for your recommendation votes.&1t;/p>
