Daming 1805

Chapter 86 I still have to go (on the shelves tomorrow, please subscribe)

Zhu Jingyuan sorted out his thoughts, smiled and clapped his hands, calming the craftsmen:

"Although there are definitely still many problems, I think we can try it to see how the effect is, how big is the heat dissipation problem, and whether there is a solution."

Li Rui also reacted, and directly arranged for the craftsman who had just mentioned to take the lead, and several craftsmen who had just participated in the discussion cooperated to try this machine gun installation method together.

Several craftsmen were a little excited, but also a little nervously agreed, and continued to think about the details in this direction.

Zhu Jingyuan's guidance did not end here, because the axis gun is likely to be unreliable in the current era, so he continued to guide the craftsmen to find another way of thinking:

"Let's think about it again, is there any other way? Let the bullet not hit the propeller?"

This time the scene has been brewing for a long time, and many craftsmen have talked about it, but they have not come up with better ideas.

Wang Zhenyi, the shopkeeper of the Royal Flying Machine Company, after staring at the propeller of the aircraft for a while, suddenly asked Zhu Jingyuan:
"Your Highness, do you think...is there a possibility that the bullet can avoid the propeller?"

The other craftsmen were stunned for a moment, and then quickly started thinking in this regard.

Zhu Jingyuan also realized something:
"Treasurer Wang, please talk about it carefully..."

Wang Zhenyi turned to look at Zhu Jingyuan, her right hand stretched out and pointed at the propeller:
"The propeller is only two blades after all, and most of the places around the nose are completely empty...

"Can we try, when the blades turn around, the machine gun automatically ceases fire for a moment.

"After the propeller has turned, let the machine gun continue to fire, and there will be two momentary ceasefires for each revolution of the propeller.

"In doing so, the rate of fire of the machine guns will certainly be reduced, but it should be possible to control as precisely as possible and to reduce the length of the ceasefire as much as possible.

"However, in a more specific situation, we still need to do experimental verification to see if the reduced rate of fire can still be used for combat..."

Zhu Jingyuan nodded secretly, this is the idea of ​​​​the shooting coordinator.

Let the transmission structure of the propeller be linked with the control structure of the machine gun.

When he turned to the front of the muzzle, the machine gun automatically ceased fire for a moment.

This is the equipment of many propeller fighters during the First World War.

The second brother's design and production difficulty is much lower than that of the "shaft gun", and Daming's current factory can definitely make it.

With this thing, you can skip the metal deflection patch directly.

That is to add a metal patch to the propeller, so that the bullet that hits the propeller bounces off, a dangerous design...

Seeing that his guidance was effective, Zhu Jingyuan smiled happily and nodded and said:
"Okay, I think you can try it, it sounds like it shouldn't be very difficult.

"Everyone should be like this in the future, don't accept too much, but develop your thinking.

"A lot of things are counter-intuitive, and you can only remember them when your brain is bent."

Zhu Jingyuan's summary words made the craftsmen nod one after another.

Then many more sensitive people, including Wang Zhenyi and several craftsmen at the scene, have felt Zhu Jingyuan's deliberate guidance.

His Highness Jingyuan obviously already had these ideas in mind, but he deliberately let everyone discuss and analyze it by themselves.

Is it to guide everyone to use their brains more proactively?
His Highness, a 15-year-old child, has good thoughts in his heart but doesn't express them directly to show off, but instead uses them to educate the group of... adults around him?

Wang Zhenyi thought so, looking at Zhu Jingyuan's expression, it became more complicated.

The talent and temperament of this child are really unbelievable.

Not to mention other children, even ordinary adults can't keep up.

Is this the elite specially educated by the royal family?
No, ordinary princes and grandsons are not at this level, but His Highness Jingyuan himself is really excellent.

Wang Zhenyi made such a judgment in her heart, and her evaluation of Zhu Jingyuan reached a new level.

Zhu Jingyuan didn't think too much about it himself. He guided the craftsmen to come up with two typical designs, and directly urged them to realize them as soon as possible.

With Zhu Jingyuan, the emperor's grandson, and Li Rui, his direct boss, urging and guiding the scene directly, the efficiency of the craftsmen is exceptionally high.

A simple test structure was quickly built on the ground using the extra propellers and engines to test how firing coordination was achieved.

Under the direct guidance of Zhu Jingyuan, a relatively reasonable connection method was quickly found, and the precision adjustment stage was entered in the morning.

On the contrary, the design and implementation of the shaft gun is more troublesome, and the design and structure of the engine have to be readjusted. It is estimated that it will not be done in a while.

Zhu Jingyuan stayed at the test site in the west of the Ministry of Industry all morning, and ate directly at the test site at noon.

Zhu Jingyuan had planned to return to the Ministry of Works after dinner, and began to discuss the details of the battleship design in the afternoon.

As a result, I just returned to the Ministry of Industry by car, and after a short rest, I was called to the palace by a phone call.

Zhu Jingyuan entered the palace a little confused, and followed the guards who led the way to the office of the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang.

When he entered the door, he found his father Zhu Jianyan, who was already waiting for him inside with his grandfather.

There were only their father and son in the room, and the guard who brought him in came to the door and left immediately, with no one else around.

It is obvious that they are all relatives and elders here, but both of them are very serious.

Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but put away his casual attitude, tried his best to bow his hands and bowed his hands earnestly, and then stood beside him and waited for orders.

The old emperor sat behind the desk and asked without expression:

"Jing Yuan, in this situation, are you still going to participate in the peace talks?"

Zhu Jingyuan did not expect the old emperor to come up and ask this.

Because the current situation is already a slight advantage for Daming, don't you need to fight mine for Dad?

After a little consideration, Zhu Jingyuan answered seriously:

"Grandpa Huang, some things still have to be done by me. It's more secure for me to go."

The old emperor's expression didn't change, but the expression of Zhu Jianyan who was standing beside him almost didn't hold back.

You's mature and prudent tone, this one still has to go out on your own, as if you were more mature than me, a father.

Do you want to add a sentence below, "My father can't do it"?
Zhu Jianyan forcibly resisted the idea of ​​scolding his son, and opened his mouth to help his father explain the reason to his son:
"The place for the peace talks has now been set, which is the Western Cape that you suggested to me at the time.

"It is far from the mainland of all parties, and it is farther from our capital of the Ming Dynasty.

"The shortest route is more than 8000 nautical miles, and the safest route is almost [-] nautical miles.

"If you start from Tianjin, you have to travel by sea for at least a month.

"On the way to the sea, you need to adapt to the long-term sea navigation life, and you need time to adapt to the local climate when you get there.

"It's summer in Xiyang Cape. Although it's not particularly hot, it's extremely dry, similar to the summer around the Daqin Sea.

"So even if the negotiation doesn't start right away, the people involved in the negotiation have to go ahead.

"If you want to continue participating in the peace talks, you have to pack up and prepare to go.

"The problem now is that the things you are responsible for, mainly the design of the battleship, can't be continued."

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly understood, and his mood became a little melancholy...

At that time, I opened my mouth to choose a distant place, and now the consequences are directly on myself.
