Royal Gold Magistrate

After packing up the equipment, the group started from the ground to the Firearms Research Institute.

This firearms research institute has been around for a long time, and it was one of the first projects that Fangzheng started once he gained a firm foothold.

At first, it was for the research of gunpowder. After the gunpowder was successfully developed, it began to transform and study firearms.

When everyone arrived at the Firearms Research Institute, they realized that the gate was open and no one was working inside.

From the outside, there were more than a dozen people playing cards in twos and threes, some of them had notes all over their faces.

When the card players in the house saw a stranger coming, they hurriedly greeted him!

"A rare guest! A rare guest! Ah, isn't this Mr. Xie? Master asked you to come?"

Xie Xian looked at the person coming and couldn't help being speechless for a while.

The kid in front of him was named Mo Xiaohu, he was a classmate with Zhao Lie, and he was the kind who was not good at studies.

In my impression, he was just playing with ink sticks when he was in class, and he didn't listen to the class at all.

Reluctantly taught to write is considered to allow him to graduate, did not expect to be entrusted with important tasks here!

Seeing Mo Xiaohu's hopeful gaze, Xie Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here to get some things."

"Bring things? Didn't the master ask you to allocate funds?" Mo Xiaohu's expression was clearly disappointed.

"Funding? What kind of funding? I've never heard of it." Xie Xian was at a loss.

Zhao Lie explained with a smile: "After the master came to Beijing, he stopped the funding for the firearms research institute. Now that there is no gunpowder, they don't have the money to make firearms, so they can only draw there with blueprints."

Mo Xiaohu put on a sullen face: "Yeah, it's fine if you don't pay! You also took away more than half of the people in the firearms station!"

"Mr. Xie, please help me to beg the master to allocate some money to the firearms station, or we will be useless!"

Xie Xian sighed.

What's the situation, he still doesn't understand it even if the funds are not available.

Is it impossible to do research without money?It's ridiculous, wouldn't it be enough to have a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?

I have studied the books of sages and sages for half my life, isn't it just pen, ink, paper and inkstone?It has achieved results, and the master of large-scale manufacture of firearms will definitely allocate funds, so what else can I spend?Can't understand.

"Xiaohu... If you are short of people, I can ask the master to help you find some people."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. It's because you don't have enough pens, ink and paper? I'll send someone to bring you some later." Xie Xian comforted.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Mo Xiaohu became anxious in an instant!

He jumped and said, "Money! If you don't have money, you can't do anything... Gun barrels... More than a hundred gun barrels need to be scrapped to make a suitable gun barrel!"

"Skilled blacksmiths also cost money.. have to use good steel... and.."

"People can't use ordinary people. How much time will it take to teach from scratch?"

"Now more than half of the people in our institute have been assigned to the newly established steam institute. The annual funding is 20 taels! Those idiots are using it to boil water!"

"Last month, the bastard from the steam station came to mock us and gave us a pot, saying that the stewed meat was fast. Two people in our station were blasted into the medical hall with that broken pot of stewed meat!! Master Li It doesn't make any sense!"

"Our annual budget of 2000 taels is not enough for the brothers to go to Xueyue Tower! Is this fair!!?"

Xie Xian and Zhao Lie looked at each other.

The physical fitness of the people in the Firearms Institute is really good...

"Didn't it mean the research funding? You use the research funding instead of doing research to go whoring, no wonder the master doesn't give you money, I can't help it!" Xie Xian said helplessly.

Mo Xiaohu frowned: "What's wrong with us spending our own research funds? All other research institutes in the county do this! We are usually under a lot of pressure and have no inspiration. Isn't it reasonable to use research funds to find inspiration?"

It seems reasonable... Xie Xian squeezed his chin and thought for a while, then two words came out of his mouth: "Reasonable!"

"Very reasonable!" Zhao Lie added.

Isn't it all about finding inspiration when using research funds to do some personal affairs?It couldn't be more reasonable!

"Ah...ah, I see, I will tell the master later, but I have to see if you have anything of value here."

Mo Xiaohu suddenly showed surprise: "Yes, yes! Let's go inside!"

"I still have a treasure that the master has never seen before! I keep you satisfied!"

After all, he dragged the two of them inside.

Entering the interior of the firearms station, Xie Xian couldn't help opening his mouth when he saw all kinds of strange-shaped pipes hanging on the wall.

Although I can't understand what it is, the things on the wall obviously have a special sense of beauty.

He had never felt this weird feeling in anything else.

So he turned his head and asked Mo Xiaohu, "Are these things on the wall made of firearms?"

Mo Xiaohu shook his head and looked at the wall: "The master saw these things in a dream, and said that he was afraid that he would forget, so he asked us to make models."

"Actually, they are all iron shells."

Immediately Mo Xiaohu pointed at the objects on the wall with a finger and said, "This is called Taoyuan Eagle, this is called Afang Siqi, and this is called Fangzheng's submachine gun..."

"My favorite is this one!"

"The master said, this thing is called Purdue sentient beings, it can shoot a thousand bullets in the blink of an eye, and one person is better than a hundred thousand troops!"

"The master also said that if I create it, I will be rewarded with 100 million taels of silver..."

Mo Xiaohu looked at the Gatling model, his eyes were full of brilliance.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Xian was completely speechless.

What a dare to say, a dare to believe!

"Oh...but it's just a dream after all! No one in the Firearms Institute takes these things seriously. We didn't know that we built this ourselves? The master is also whimsical, haha."

Mo Xiaohu smiled: "Come on! I'll show you the real treasure!" After saying that, he took down an unattractive spear from the bottom row on the wall.

"This gun is called an arquebus gun! Put a paper-wrapped iron shot into the barrel of the gun, use the matchlock to trigger the gunpowder, and the shot will kill the enemy."

"Infinite power! The momentum is astonishing! It can be said to be as loud as thunder, and as powerful as electricity! If it is used in the military formation..."

There was a trace of disdain in Zhao Lie's eyes: "Stop bragging, my brother was injured by this thing of yours. The shooting range is only seventy steps at most and it's crooked. It's not as good as a bow and arrow."

"I'm here this time because I have an important task to protect my husband. Bring your repeating pistol!"

A trace of shame flashed across Mo Xiaohu's face, and he argued, "Isn't this sir here? I need to introduce a little bit, and there is a second-generation flintlock behind..."

"Your second generation also injured my brother, hurry up!"

Xie Xian looked at the two of them in surprise, leaned closer to Zhao Lie and said in a low voice: "How about... let's go back... I think we are safe with you here!"

It doesn't look like you're holding a protective device for yourself from this posture, it's trying to blow me up!

"Hey, sir! They're all here!"
