Baidu otaku as Chongzhen

Chapter 7 Patent money for grenades

(The picture shows the grenade)

Fu Mingde was sweating profusely, scared to death.Kneeling down on the ground, he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty calm down, Your Majesty calm down."

Yang Reform smiled and said, "I'm not trying to hold you accountable, but I just want to tell you to treat the workers a little better, so that they are willing to make guns with their heart, understand?... In this way, you can find a few skilled craftsmen, that is, The kind of person who is very good at making firearms, I have something to do. In addition, let me check the muskets in the armory again. If you can’t fire, or they will explode, find them for me immediately. If you give me One of my muskets exploded, and I’ll let you fire the blunderbuss yourself. Do you understand?”

Yang Reform's smile is absolutely terrifying in Fu Mingde's eyes.Fu Mingde's face was ashen, and he opened fire with a bird gun that would explode. What an exciting game this is!

"Haha~ Old Fu! I'm not trying to take you under the knife, but just to let you understand that the quality of a weapon will affect the life of a soldier, and the life of a soldier will affect the battle of a platoon of soldiers, and the battle of a platoon of soldiers It will affect the outcome of a battle, the outcome of a battle will affect the outcome of a war, and the outcome of a war will affect the survival of a country, do you understand my words?" Yang Reform smiled and patted He patted Fu Mingde on the shoulder.

Fu Mingde was already dumbfounded.

……

The edict to recruit people from all over the world to Beijing is almost issued.Although the cabinet and ministers have some objections to this matter, for the wise sage who moved to Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, he strongly demanded this, so the cabinet and ministers stopped saying anything. Many people among the ministers were involved in the Wei case. I heard that the emperor was going to pay atonement money. He didn't want to commit more crimes when he was newly enthroned. , Otherwise, the emperor got annoyed and rescheduled the Wei case, and the cabinet and many ministers would be overwhelmed.

The old firearms craftsmen introduced by Fu Mingde, Yang Reform has been discussing with them for a few days. From the beginning, they were very restrained, and now when it comes to the improvement and invention of firearms, most of them are not restrained, and they can talk vigorously. .

"Zhang Gong, how is your discussion going?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the grassroots have already discussed it, and we are almost ready to deal with the grenade that Your Majesty proposed." A very thin old man took over the words.This old man is old, and the years have carved enough marks on his body. There is no excess flesh on his body. He is Zhang Gong, a firearms and explosives expert in Yang Reform's mouth.Although he is old, he is in good spirits.

"Oh, is that so? Show it to me." Yang Reform took the picture, which was indeed an exploded view of a grenade.

"How effective is it? Are there any problems?" After watching for a while, Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the effect of the explosion is not bad, but if it takes a long time, the powder will precipitate, and the nitrate will return to nitrate, and the sulfur will return to sulfur, so it can't even be exploded." Zhang Gong introduced.

"Well, this problem is really difficult. Do you have any solutions?" Yang Reformed.

"Returning to Your Majesty, after hearing what His Majesty said about the particle method, I thought it was feasible, so I made some trial-made grenades, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to have a look." Zhang Gong was very confident in the grenades he made.

"Well, then, let's go to the school grounds." A group of people went to the school grounds in a mighty manner.

The school field is neither big nor small, about as big as a football field.Zhang Gong ignited the fuze alone from a distance, and it took about half a minute for the fuze to burn to the iron box. Only a bang was heard and it exploded.

Gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the boards that were the targets had been blown away.Many bullet holes were left.

Yang Reform applauded first.The others were deafened, and they didn't react for a long time. When they saw the emperor clap their hands and applaud, the others also clapped together.

Zhang Gong, Li Gong and the group of people in charge of researching and developing the grenade were all elated. After all, they had completed what the emperor told them to do, and became imperial envoys.

"Not bad, not bad. It's just that the fuze is a bit long." Yang Reform said.

"Return to Your Majesty, in fact, this fuze can be shortened, but today it is specially lengthened for His Majesty's safety."

"Well, yes, how heavy is this grenade? How to operate it?" Yang Reform asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this grenade weighs about two catties and four ounces. The front part is an iron head with granulated gunpowder inside, the rear end is a wooden handle, and a matchlock is drilled in the middle. The lid, unscrew the lid, light the matchstick, throw it out, and it will explode after about four or five breaths." Zhang Gong explained in detail.

In the royal arsenal, sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter are all purified and screened out.Judging from the effect of the explosion, it seems to be okay.Yang Reform also saves the trouble of purifying saltpeter and sulfur, and also saves other traversers the pain of carefully handling saltpeter and sulfur. That is to buy as much as you want, use as much as you want, and use as much as you want.

Originally, there was still an ignition device on the grenade, but unfortunately, there is no formula for matches now, otherwise the match will be removed, and the ignition device for this grenade will also be available.Since there is no, then use this ignition method first.Yang Reform is not too extravagant, as long as it can be used, the formula of the match will be discussed later.

Thinking of this, Yang Reform felt that it was pretty good, at least the prototype of the grenade came out, except for some problems with the ignition device, it can also be used.

"Very well, that's it. Zhang Gong, Li Gong, you all worked hard. In this way, each of you five will receive 100 taels of silver, and the craftsmen of the Bingzhan Bureau will each receive two taels of silver. It's almost Chinese New Year, everyone Happy." Fu Mingde found five craftsmen for Yang Reform, and now they are in charge of weapon development in the Military Bureau.

"Caomin thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Long live your Majesty, long live, long live." The people who had nearly kneeled on the ground in the school grounds were almost all craftsmen.

Yang Reform thinks this is very good, and won the loyalty of many people for a small amount of money.Much better than the underfed civil servants outside.

"Fu Mingde." Yang Reform shouted.

"The servant is here." Fu Mingde hurried out and knelt on the ground.

"Get up, I've given you a task. I'm going to increase the production of this grenade. The more the better, understand? You have to be responsible for the production. For the quality of the grenade, you must not be harsh on the craftsmen, and the wages should be slightly higher , every time you make a qualified grenade, I will reward you with a penny. Don’t underestimate this penny. If you gather less, you will make more. When you can make hundreds of thousands of grenades, you will find that you have a lot of money. Do you understand? In addition, Zhang Gong, Li Gong, you two also enjoy this rule. You invented the grenade, and you two can earn a penny from each grenade. I call this a patent, understand? ?”

After hearing the emperor's words, everyone exclaimed, this is a rule that has never been followed.If hundreds of thousands of hand grenades are to be produced, the profits will be hundreds of thousands of pennies.That's a huge sum of money.More people are pleasantly surprised that they can profit from inventing new things.patent?Seems like a good thing.

"Fu Mingde complies with the order. He will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations." Fu Mingde knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank him diligently, very happy.Zhang Gong and Li Gong opened their mouths wide and were speechless in astonishment.

This incident soon spread to the outside world, and the ministers were very worried about the emperor's behavior, and they all rushed to educate the emperor, but Yang Reform regarded them as NPCs, and what he said was farting.

Igniters, matches, Yang Reform has been thinking about these things.

The queen is a little lolita, which is Yang's reform consciousness. Judging from her attire, she is in her early twenties.In fact, he was less than fifteen or sixteen years old.

Yang Reform has a feeling that the Ming Dynasty is a group of lolicon, who get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen and have a lot of children.Faced with such a little lolita, Yang Reform felt a little bit helpless.

The person in the arms also obviously sensed Chongzhen's strangeness, twisted his body coquettishly, and said, "Your Majesty, do you not like Wan'er anymore?"

"I don't like you anymore, I just think your body is too thin, and I'm afraid it will be bad for your health if you get pregnant too early." Yang Reform also knows that getting pregnant too early is a great burden on a woman's body.

"Your Majesty, it won't be anymore. In my hometown, many people who are younger than me have already had children. It's not all right." After finishing speaking, she twisted.

Yang Reform felt terrified. It would be impossible to say that a naked ketone body crawling on his body would not move him.But when I thought of being a loli, I felt a psychological barrier.

……

Yang Reform fell asleep beautifully.In the middle of the night, I dreamed of my previous dream. I was actually sitting in front of the computer, and the browser was opened to Baidu. Yang Reform had been thinking about the formula of matches during the day. When he thought of this, he immediately searched.

Soon, Yang Reform searched for the method of making matches, which were still safe matches. Looking back, what manganese dioxide, hydrochloric acid, etc. Yang Reform felt dizzy when he saw these things. Now at the level of the Ming Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to make These things come.It seems that my own grenade can only be lit with a matchlock.But for being able to go back to Baidu to check things in his dreams, Yang Reform only feels that he is too happy.This is a heaven-defying thing.It's a pity that the time to dream back to Baidu is too short, and I can only look up things on Baidu.If it goes beyond this range, it won't work. Yang Reform wanted to watch pure movies, but he didn't see anything.

There are still some side effects when I wake up, my head is a little groggy.But it's nothing to be able to use Baidu to search.
