Time travel, sell Tang poems at the beginning

Lijiazhuang.

In Lin Feng's exclusive laboratory, Huangfu Gongcheng sat in the main seat, with Meng Xianli and Dai Qian sitting on the left, and Cheng Wuwei and Xue Yu sitting on the right.

Lin Feng came to Huangfu Gongcheng with the drawings of muskets and artillery he drew the night before. "Your Majesty, please take a look. These are the muskets and artillery designed by me."

Huangfu Gongcheng took the drawing and began to look at it carefully...

The muskets painted by Lin Feng are actually ancient flintlock guns, and the artillery pieces are the red cannons from the Ming Dynasty.

A quarter of an hour later, all five people had seen the drawings.

"Lin Feng, we don't understand your drawing very well, why don't you introduce it to us in detail!" Cheng Wuwei said.

Lin Feng nodded, "Your Majesty, four adults, this thing is called a musket, and this part is called the barrel. The barrel is composed of a round hollow iron pipe, which is similar to the tap water pipe in the Yangchun Lake villa area."

"First we need to put a little gunpowder into the barrel, then put a small solid iron ball, and finally aim the muzzle of the gun at the object you want to attack."

"After pulling the trigger with your finger, the flint will hit the fire door hard and sparks will appear. The sparks will ignite the gunpowder in the barrel. The power of the gunpowder explosion will cause the small iron ball to explode very quickly. Shoot out of the barrel at high speed and fly towards the target you want to attack, this is the attack principle of the musket."

After Lin Feng explained, the five people nodded to show that they understood.

Cheng Wuwei suddenly thought of something and immediately asked: "Lin Feng, I wonder how far this little iron ball can fly after it is shot out of the barrel?"

"The effective killing distance of a musket is one hundred and thirty steps."

In ancient times, one step was 1.5 meters, and the effective range of a flintlock gun was 200 meters, which converted to exactly 130 steps.

Xue Yu's face lit up, "One hundred and thirty steps! Then this musket is too powerful! Its range is more than twice that of ordinary bows and arrows."

"Master Xue, firing bows and arrows consumes the soldiers' physical strength. In theory, muskets can be fired infinitely."

"Hahaha! It seems that this musket can really be regarded as a war artifact. I really hope that my army, Dayan, can use this musket as soon as possible."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Master Xue, don't be impatient, the musket can be made soon."

Xue Yu nodded with relief, "Okay, okay! Then I'll just wait for that day."

"Lin Feng, this artillery piece looks quite big to me. Please tell me about this artillery piece!"

"Your Majesty, this artillery is actually an extra-large musket. Its attack principle is the same as that of a musket. The musket fires small iron balls, while the artillery fires large iron balls."

Cheng Wuwei immediately asked: "Lin Feng, what is the effective range of the artillery?"

"About three hundred and thirty steps."

The effective range of the artillery is 500 meters, which is exactly 330 steps.

"Three hundred and thirty steps! Oh my god! With such a long range, even the longest-range bow and arrow can't reach it. If artillery is used to attack the city, won't the enemies in the city have to be beaten?"

Lin Feng nodded, "This is the power of artillery. Mr. Cheng can imagine the scene when a huge iron ball flies towards the enemy camp at an extremely fast speed. It is simply a one-sided massacre!"

"In the face of the huge power of gunpowder, the walls of Shengtian City are simply a decoration. We can just blow them up with bombs wherever we want to enter the city. As long as there are enough bombs, there is no wall that cannot be blown open."

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Huangfu Gongcheng, Cheng Wuwei, and Xue Yu nodded in agreement. Even Meng Xianli and Dai Qian, who were always objective and calm, did not refute.

"Lin Feng, when will the muskets and artillery you designed be produced? I can't wait to see their power with my own eyes."

"Back to Your Majesty, the manufacturing of muskets and artillery is a bit complicated. Give me half a year, and I will be able to make muskets and artillery. At that time, I will train an army for your majesty that is proficient in muskets and artillery."

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded with great satisfaction, "Lin Feng, you don't have to worry about the Commercial and Taxation Department and the Yangchun Lake Project. From now on, you can develop muskets and artillery in Lijiazhuang with peace of mind. If you need anything, just tell me. All satisfy you.”

"Your Majesty, making muskets and artillery requires a lot of iron and copper."

"No problem, I will order the major iron and copper mines in Dayangjing to give you priority in supplying iron and copper."

Speaking of the mine, Lin Feng suddenly thought of something and immediately said: "Your Majesty, gunpowder will produce a huge force when it explodes. This force can be used to mine ores, thereby greatly improving our Dayan Iron Copper production.”

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Huangfu Gongcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Not bad, not bad! The power of gunpowder explosions is so powerful that it can indeed be used to mine ores."

"Lin Feng, please produce a batch of gunpowder as soon as possible, teach the technology of using gunpowder to mine ore, and apply it to major mines as soon as possible."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Huangfu Gongcheng nodded, "Lin Feng, I heard that you lived in this laboratory last night. How can the environment here be inhabited? I order you to go home on time every afternoon as before."

"Sir, obey the order!"

"My dear friends, we have seen the power of gunpowder, and we all understand the blueprints of muskets and artillery. It is time to go back. Oh, by the way, Lin Feng, when you go home in the afternoon, go directly to the palace. I am a little worried. I need to speak to you alone."

After Huangfu finished speaking, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door of the laboratory. Upon seeing this, the three pavilion elders and Xue Yu got up and followed him.

"My lord, I would like to send you off to your majesty!"

As soon as Huangfu Gongcheng and a group of big guys left the laboratory, Gong Yuan and the Li brothers walked in.

"Li Dali, Li Er, Li San, Li Si, your brothers' job is to crush all these charcoal, lime sulfur, and sulfuric acid into powder. The newly built factory will be your brothers' use from now on."

"You brothers, move these things to the new factory now. Remember that the new factory cannot have a single spark. Work starts at midnight in the morning and ends at unitary time in the afternoon."

"Starting from tomorrow, I will have people send you charcoal, lime sulfur, and sulfuric acid one after another. After you crush them, pack them separately in large clay pots, and then send them to my laboratory."

"Yes, factory director!"

The Li brothers immediately started carrying the charcoal, lifting baskets in each hand and walking out.

"Brother Gong, come with me to the steel factory."

Soon, Lin Feng and Miyahara arrived at the steel plant that specializes in developing steam engines. When Lin Feng came in, Zhao Yong, Gu Chaoqun, and Li Bin led their apprentices to salute, "Meet the factory director!"

"You don't have to be polite."

"Thank you, director!"

Lin Feng nodded, "How is the development of the steam engine going?"

"Back to the factory director, the boiler and cylinder of the steam engine have been developed, but there are still many unresolved problems with the piston and connecting rod."

The three of them are indeed veteran technicians from the steel plant. For such a complex machine as the steam engine, it only took three months to make the boiler and cylinder. At this rate, it will take another year to build the complete steam engine.

"Everyone, His Majesty has ordered that the development of steam engines be suspended for now. From now on, your task is to manufacture the muskets and artillery drawn on these drawings in the shortest possible time."

Lin Feng handed the drawings of muskets and artillery to Zhao Yong, "The manufacturing of muskets and artillery is a state secret. No one is allowed to leak even a word to the outside world. In two months, the factory director will see the samples you have produced."

Zhao Yong and the three of them raised their hands together and said, "Your Majesty and the factory director, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

Lin Feng nodded, "You don't need to guarantee it. From now on, our factory director will also work with you to make muskets and artillery. Let's start now without further ado!"

At this point, the development of muskets and artillery officially began...
