"Your Majesty, do you want to send secret guards to Europe to continue assassinating them?"

Li San's expression in the imperial study was a little guilty, and after the war in the south was over, he returned to Qingzhou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"No need, there is too much difference in appearance between the people of Dayu and the British, this is just like Westerners in Dayu, they will definitely be stared at."

This matter is indeed not very pleasant for Xiao Ming, but the loss of talents is inevitable, for the sake of money and status, there are always some people who are willing to abandon their conscience and do things of betrayal, whether it is contemporary or ancient.

Instead of wasting energy on this matter, it is better to concentrate on development, so that domestic talents can have a comfortable environment, and even be able to attract Western technical talents.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li San breathed a sigh of relief, this time he tried his best, this time the French and the British have made great efforts to protect those people, and their strength is limited, after all, the army has not yet reached Guangzhou at that time.

Lying on the chair and looking out the window, Xiao Ming sometimes had to admit the fact that the ability of the secret guard was also limited, it was impossible to keep an eye on everyone, and it was impossible to succeed in every mission.

To really solve the problem, it still needs a strong comprehensive national strength, and in the face of scientific consciousness and national consciousness has risen in Europe, the matter of technological imitation will continue to appear in the future, what he needs to do is to always maintain the leading edge and formulate the rules that belong to the Great Chongqing State.

Skipping this matter, Xiao Ming said to Li San: "By the way, now that Jiangnan has been settled, you will recall the idle personnel and let them go to the Japanese country and the western colonies to listen to intelligence, these-stirring sticks are making such a lot of trouble in the Great Chongqing country, and now it is time for them to pay the price." ”

Li San nodded excitedly, the civil strife has calmed down, and now the Great Yu Kingdom has unprecedented potential, and unanimity with the outside world is the next strategy they will implement.

After saying this, Xiao Ming asked Li San to go back, and then asked Song Changping, Su Liangcai, and Lin Wentao, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, to call over.

"Your Majesty."

The three of them said in unison.

Nodding slightly, letting the three of them flatten, Xiao Ming looked at Song Changping and said, "You came to find me, could it be that there is any new progress in the rifle?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the purpose of this visit is to stop the manufacture of the Falcon rifle and produce a new type of rifle that the lower official has just successfully experimented with."

"Oh?" Xiao Ming showed an interested look, and he said, "What kind of rifle is this?" ”

"Rotate and pull the bolt machine rifle, this rifle pulls the trigger after the firing pin will pierce the paper shell bullet and hit the primer to detonate the bullet, compared with the Falcon rifle The stability is much higher, and the air tightness when the gunpowder explodes will also be much improved, the lower officer thinks that this rifle is more convenient than using a fire cap."

Song Changping said word by word.

Xiao Ming showed a hint of a smile, in fact, the Falcon rifle was just an upgrade that Xiao Ming didn't want to waste the conquest musket, but this kind of rotating bolt machine rifle is the future direction of firearm development.

Through Song Changping's description, he basically determined that the rifle he made this time was similar to the Dresser rifle, the key point of this firearm is that the bolt can be rotated and pulled back, and the hollow position of this bolt is a spring and a firing pin, and the firing pin pierces the ammunition by pulling the back to squeeze the spring and pulling the trigger to release the spring pressure, this principle is actually not difficult.

The most difficult thing is the strength of the firing pin, and the weakness of the contemporary Dreiser's rifle is the fragile firing pin.

However, now that Dayu has long had a high-strength alloy that can make knives that are hard enough, it is naturally no problem for them to collide.

In addition to the firing pin, there is also the problem of the airtightness of the breech gun, which cannot be compared with the breech gun, which is why the breech gun appeared in the fifteenth century, but has not been used on a large scale.

Because of the poor airtightness, the breech gun will reduce in range and power, but the relatively flexible combat method makes up for this shortcoming.

As for the breech gun, the real solution to the problem of air tightness was the appearance of metal shell bullets, but unfortunately now he does not have the ability to build a production line of metal bullets.

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Liangcai, now that more than a year has passed, the thermal power plant in Qingzhou has been in full swing, and in order to fully support him, the cabinet is unconditionally giving money and giving people.

Everyone is waiting for Qingzhou to enter the era of electricity, and among these people, Xiao Ming is the most desirable, because from the age of electricity, he naturally understands the benefits of electricity.

And these days, when he searched for the content of the technology spar, he also found the technology of nuclear fusion power station, and he felt deeply about this technology that he was still striving for in the contemporary era.

Because once this technology is realized, it will mean the dawn of the era of unlimited electricity.

But although this is very tempting, he can only think about it now, after all, with the current level is still far behind, he has a long way to go.

"This rifle is indeed very distinctive, in this case, the subsequent rifle will be switched to this rifle, but the airtightness of the breech gun still needs a metal shell bullet to solve, this problem you need to consider."

As he spoke, Xiao Ming looked at Su Liangcai, "Su Liangcai, although this problem belongs to Song Changping, it can't be done without your electricity, but the production of metal-shelled bullets requires stable energy and mechanical power." ”

The purpose of Su Liangcai's visit this time is the matter of the thermal power plant, he said: "Your Majesty, the thermal power plant can basically be completed in the second half of the year, but the current production of this transmission line is a problem, one is copper, and the other is the wire insulation skin, which is a big problem." “

Speaking of this, Xiao Ming suddenly had a big head, for the scarce copper resources of the Chongqing country, copper is money, and with the improvement of industry, there are more and more places where copper is used, whether it is wires or motors, a large amount of copper is needed.

But even so, these copper extrusions are still available, the most important is the insulating skin, in the field of wires and cables, the insulating skin is generally divided into two categories: plastic and rubber.

Plastic is not possible at the moment, rubber is available, but not much, and even if the Dutch sell him rubber, it will be expensive.

If the price of rubber cannot be reduced, it is clear that the future development of industry will be limited.

"Let's use rubber to produce insulated wires, roll the copper wire in hot rubber, and after cooling, it will be a wire, I don't know if you go to Lu Tong again, he will help you solve this problem, no matter what, this electricity matter cannot be delayed." Xiao Ming made up his mind.

For him, now Qingzhou's industry has encountered a bottleneck, and some things cannot be produced without electricity, such as aluminum.

In addition, there is electroplating, electrolysis to produce chemical gases, and of course, the most important is the technology of electric welding, which is the key to the production of ironclad ships.
