The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 84 The Flintlock (Part [-])
When Su Tang was studying history, he studied the principle of flintlock guns.

The flintlock is transformed from an arquebus. As a weapon invented in the sixteenth century, it is actually not difficult to make.

The basic principle is to hit the fire sickle with flint to generate sparks, ignite the black powder in the gunpowder pool, and finally ignite the main charge to launch the lead bullet.

The length of the gun is 32 cm, and the length of the barrel is 15 cm. The barrel is made of wrought iron, which is also wrought iron. This is not difficult.

Flint is not difficult to find. It is available in the black powder stockade. Lead bullets are made of lead. People here have long been able to extract lead from lead-zinc mines, and the raw materials can be bought.

Modern studies have found that lead was added as an alloying element in the excavated bronzes, which means that people would refine and use lead in the Bronze Age, so it is not surprising that people here mastered the use of lead.

Now all the raw materials are available, and Su Tang knows the principle. It only needs a craftsman who is proficient in mechanics to repeatedly make, experiment, and perfect, and it is not impossible to make a flintlock.

However, if the method is leaked during the production process, then this era may be directly brought into the era of hot weapons because of Su Tang. Su Tang dare not take this risk.

"In fact, in order to prevent the production of flintlock guns from being leaked, there is a special insurance method." Su Tang lay on the recliner and sipped tea, and said to the system in his heart.

"What method?" The system asked aloud. After thinking about it, it felt wrong again. "This is not a problem of leaking, but that you can't make it at all."

"I don't find someone to do experimental production, you can sell it to me directly, so can't you completely guarantee that others don't know the production method, so it won't be leaked?" Su Tang said.

"Don't even think about it, do you think this system will provide you with a flintlock?"

"If you don't agree, I'll try to do it myself. If something happens, don't blame me." Su Tang showed no concern and deliberately stimulated the system.

If you ask someone to make it, it is impossible to guarantee [-]% that it will not be leaked, but if you buy it directly from the system, no one will know how it is made, and you can keep it absolutely confidential.

"...Are you threatening me?" The system panicked, and the person who said two days ago that he would listen to it in the future didn't seem to be her.

Sure enough, a woman can change her face faster than the sky.

"If I make it, and accidentally leak the production method, which will lead to more intense wars between countries, do you think you can still build the city well? If you can't complete the task, you will be destroyed." Su Tang pinched Its weakness.

"If I am destroyed, you will not survive."

"It's okay, anyway, I've made money by living the extra few years." Su Tang replied with a smile.

"You're ruthless!" The system couldn't tell her, thinking about Su Tang's words, there was nothing wrong with it, "You can buy it, [-] points of reputation are worth it."

"...Where are you robbing?" This time it was Su Tang's turn to be restless, and her total prestige points were only over 1 now.

"Don't blame me if you can't afford it, it's not that I don't sell it to you." Seeing Su Tang's frustration, the system finally vented its anger for itself.

"One thousand and one, or I'll do it myself, don't blame me if there are any problems." Su Tang didn't dare to bargain too low, otherwise the system would be over if it didn't sell at all.

"Nine thousand!" The system replied.

"Five thousand..."

"Eight thousand!"

"Five thousand..." Su Tang said that he would not budge.

Even if it's five thousand, if you want to buy a hundred, it's still 50 prestige points, and she doesn't know when she will have to save it.

The purpose of buying a flintlock gun is to strengthen the strength of the Shence Army. If you buy too little, it will not be effective. If you buy too much, she will have no reputation.

You can't afford it in the short term, but there are tens of millions of people in this world, and there will always be a time when she has enough 50 prestige points.

But it doesn't matter if you can't afford it now, if the countries get news about this thing, they have to come to her lair and force her to hand over the production method.

Before she has the absolute ability to protect herself, even if she can afford it, she dare not use it.

"Deal!" The system was so angry that it almost wanted to shut itself up. At the beginning, it vowed that it would never sell hot weapons, but now it did not expect to sell under the threat of Su Tang.

Thinking about how Su Tang shouldn't have told her when he was looking for it to buy gunpowder formula, I really regret it.

"The upper limit is only one hundred, so don't try to buy too many." In order to prevent Su Tang from fooling it again, he hastily added.

"All right, all right!" Su Tang succeeded in his plan, and quickly responded.

In fact, even if the system really does not sell it to her, she will not make this kind of weapon unless it is a last resort, and make fun of the lives of people in the world.

If the flintlock is really used in war, it is unknown how many people will die because of it.

"Master, master?" Yingyue didn't speak when she saw Su Tang, "You're in a daze again."

"Oh, it's okay, I was thinking about something just now." Su Tang came back to his senses.

Looking at the bobbing buoy in the river again, Su Tang looked at the startled group staring at the fishing rod eagerly.

"Yingyue, go write a piece of paper and hang it around Jingtuan's neck, and let it be brought to Rongjin, and then ask Rongjin to make a can of soy sauce and a can of vinegar, wrap it up and hang it around Jingtuan's neck, and bring it back. Let's taste it tonight."

If you want to keep this fish, you have to send Jing Tuan away.

"Okay!" Yingyue went back to the wooden house with the startled group.

Seeing them walking away, Su Tang reeled in the line and fished out the hooked fish.

Not long after, Jingtuan cautiously came back from the suspension bridge on tiptoe, with two small pots still hanging around his neck.

Su Tang looked at the sky, the sun had already started to set, so he packed his things and went back.

Yingyue took a look at the heavy fish basket, "There are three or four."

"Let's cook steamed fish tonight, and let the excess be given to Jingtuan." Su Tang was very curious about the taste of the soy sauce made from the sun.

Yingyue was in charge of lighting the fire, and Su Tang made steamed fish and shredded potatoes with vinegar.

The river water in the Yanyun River is all mountain spring water gathered together in the mountains. The water quality is excellent, and the fish itself has a sweet taste without any fishy smell.

Just marinate it with scallions, ginger and salt, steam it and pour soy sauce on it, and the simple steamed fish is ready.

The main reason is that the seasoning here is single, and the steamed fish made with soy sauce is the result of Su Tang's hard work for a month.

"Taste how the seasonings we made taste like." Putting the dishes on the table, Su Tang looked at the delicious dishes and said to Yingyue with a smile.

Yingyue thought of how the soy sauce hadn't been prepared before, and her hand holding the chopsticks obviously paused.

Looking at the fragrant dishes in front of him, he finally put down his chopsticks, picked up a small piece of fish and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, "This soy sauce looks dark, but I didn't expect it to be quite delicious."
