Chapter 234 Repeating Crossbow
"A repeating crossbow has hundreds of arrows in the quiver. You can increase or decrease the number of arrows at will, or you can shoot all ten arrows at the same time."

Emperor Qinglong's eyes glowed when he talked about weapons. It seemed that no man didn't like such things, and the king of a country was no exception.

According to Ruyi's previous understanding, as far as the Qing Kingdom is concerned, it is already the most powerful country at this time, but in terms of weapons, there is nothing except swords, spears and arrows at best.

Shooting is one of the 'Six Arts' at this time, and it is also considered the most powerful attack method at the moment.Therefore, Qingguo has annual autumn hunting.

Emperor Qinglong still had a finger wrench on his hand, which was indispensable for him, but it was not just a decoration as Ruyi thought at first.

The trigger finger makes it possible to pull a strong bow and avoids pain that reduces the rate of fire or even cuts the fingers.The ring finger is of such great significance to shooters that the princes and nobles during the National Day finally alienated it into a kind of jewelry.

"The emergence of this continuous crossbow will greatly increase Qingguo's combat power. So, you should know why I am in a good mood recently."

Emperor Qinglong originally thought that Ruyi would be as happy as himself, but unexpectedly, he seemed a little distracted.

Ruyi is a little worried because she knows little about it in modern times. The "Lian Nu" was improved in design and could fire ten arrows continuously, so it was called "Yuan Rong". The "Yuanrong Crossbow" fires quickly and is powerful. It can also be called the "Mountain Destroying Crossbow", which means that the crossbow is so powerful that it can destroy mountains.

But more importantly, the "Yuan Rong Nu" already has the prototype of a modern machine gun and has an automatic loading function.

So looking at the finished product on site and the results of the soldiers' trials, this object is actually a step further than the "continuous crossbow", because it skips the process of reinstalling the arrows once all the loaded arrows have been fired.

Is it because of research on guns?Will this cause damage to history?Ruyi was confused.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Qinglong couldn't help but feel a little worried. He rarely saw Ruyi frowning.

"It's nothing, girls don't like these things." Ruyi muttered, looking scared.

Emperor Qinglong's eyes flashed, little Ruyi is hiding something from me. After all, Ruyi's archery skills during the autumn hunting were obvious to all. Ruyi is not an ordinary girl, how could she be frightened by weapons.

"What was that?" Ruyi didn't want to say more, so she had to find a topic. Unexpectedly, she saw an even more terrifying scene.

Emperor Qinglong also saw those black powders for the first time.

The person who led the way made a very insightful introduction: "This is a finished product that was imitated after extraction of the mysterious weapon from the Ministry of Industry. It has not yet passed the final test. But it can burn and generate high temperatures. This is already the third batch. Finished product. After the first two batches of tests, only sparks and black smoke came out."

"Have people take the torches farther away." After hearing this, Ruyi still didn't understand something, so she shouted regardless of her identity, because she confirmed that the third batch of finished products was very close to black powder.

If you don't shout out, the soldier will use a torch to light the pile of black powder.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Qinglong saw Ruyi's face pale.

Black powder is used as propellant in bullets and artillery shells and is an important component of ammunition.Unexpectedly, the talented and righteous people from the Ministry of Industry have also studied this, and this is really going to cause big trouble.

"Let's go out first, put out the fire here first, and then go up and talk." Ruyi pulled the man away, and also signaled Emperor Qinglong to arrange the order as soon as possible.

Emperor Qinglong knew the mystery and good luck of Ruyi, so he asked people to do it immediately.

The person who led the way didn't dare to disobey, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart. The woman was making such a fuss, and the emperor, who was always wise, shouldn't have brought people here to delay everyone's research time.

After coming up from the basement, Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started asking. "Sir, was that pile made of a mixture of saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur, etc.?"

"Hui Niang, how did you know?" The person leading the way couldn't believe it.

"It can only be said that you are lucky. The mixture of nitrate, sulfur and charcoal can burn and explode. The first two times the mixture should be wrong, so it will burn without exploding. If the pile just now was ignited directly in the basement, we must have No need to live anymore.”

Ruyi is really going to be pissed off by such a research institute. Although these people are really powerful, they are also bold and dare to experiment with anything.

It seems that in the past few years, people in the Ministry of Industry have become a little distracted.
