Lao Bai paused for about 5 minutes, during which there was no movement. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Xin was not in a hurry, he knew that Lao Bai was carrying out overall probability calculations on the various data recorded in the book and selecting the best results.
So, Chen Xin didn't wait, and began to discuss with the head maid what clothes he should wear today.
Unlike in previous years, he had been living in the barracks, where discipline was strict, so he could only wear military uniforms all year round, for better or worse.
And after he became king, all kinds of etiquette restrictions increased.
The officials of the kingdom who were not born as cyborgs made a lot of "suggestions" about Chen Xin's clothing.
In the initial period, Chen Xin didn't pay much attention to this, after all, these ministers were also for the sake of the country's image.
But as the number of restrictions imposed on him by ministers skyrocketed, and there were different dress codes for meeting different people in different places, Chen Xin had some opinions.
Chen Xin was not a master of peace in the first place, and if he had different opinions, he would refute the so-called rules set by these ministers one by one, and if he really couldn't refute them, he would destroy them.
Anyway, Chen Xin will definitely not be a matchmaker, and no one will try to control him at any time or anywhere.
Now, except for the one when he wears formal clothes (Hanfu official clothes) during grand festivals, he decides to dress according to his own preferences at other times.
"Anya, how is that blue dress?"
"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the blue color is not quite compatible with today's weather."
"So, how about this black one?" Saying that, Chen Xin blinked his eyes and teased, "Anya, you won't be like those Confucianists, thinking that I want to restore the tyrannical Qin government." ”
"Flutter" Anya also seemed to think of the scene where several white-bearded grandfathers ran to the palace to admonish in order to prevent the king from wearing black official clothes.
Immediately, Anya saluted and said, "The concubine is out of order." ”
turned his face straight and turned back to the topic, "According to the scheduled itinerary, you are going to go out to inspect in the afternoon, black, will it be too hot?" Moreover, the hem is too long. ”
Chen Xin was accustomed to Anya's expression, and then turned the topic back to his clothes, "Oh, yes, I'm going out today, then, I won't wear Hanfu today, let's change into a military uniform." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, but you need to choose, do you want to wear a navy uniform? Or army uniforms? ”
Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, searched his mind, and didn't remember that the navy had a separate military uniform, so he asked the maid chief, "Uh, navy, did you actually change your military uniform?" ”
"Your Majesty, because the navy has begun to install steam engine ships, the original blue-gray military uniform, which is the same as the army, is very easy to be blackened by soot, so the navy is ready to change to a black military uniform.
They have already made the first batch of samples, and they just sent them yesterday, and the concubine is about to ask you to take a look. ”
"Then let me see what the taste of the Navy is."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After a while, several maids walked into the bedroom with two new sets of navy uniforms.
Chen Xin looked at the two sets of military uniforms in front of him, and his voice was full of strangeness.
One of them, only the color has been changed, and in other respects, it is not the slightest difference from the previous army uniform.
The other one, however, was changed a little, but only the style of the buttons was changed, and gold threads were embroidered on the corners of the uniform.
Chen Xin looked at the two so-called "new naval uniforms" and was really speechless.
"Are the Navy all stupid? Since they are ready to change it, they will change it in place at one time, so tinkering, are they preparing to spend on a piece of clothing, how much time do they spend on it, and are they ready to change a set of styles every year? ”
Holding back the desire to complain, Chen Xin waved his hand, "Take it down, it seems that the issue of military uniforms will also have a special meeting." ”
After letting a few of the enchanting maids who came to deliver the clothes retreat, Chen Xin decided, "Anya, let's wear the original army uniform." ”
"Yes, the concubine will go and prepare immediately."
When Chen Xin finished a series of washing work and discussed with the head maid what kind of clothes he should wear today, Lao Bai finally finished calculating.
"Master, I propose to produce hinged shotguns."
"Hinged?" In Chen Xin's mind, two tall shotguns, Lishuang and Pingshuang, suddenly appeared.
But then, Chen Xin frowned, "That thing, but a rich man's toy, how can it be cheap?" ”
"Master, the so-called standing double shotgun and flat double shotgun in your mind are all gimmicks made by the Europeans before you crossed over.
They advertised handicraft, limited shipments, carved intricate and beautiful patterns on the body of the gun, and used precious wood as the butt, which led to the high price of the shotgun.
In fact, as long as it is all mechanically processed, the wood of the butt is pressed with cheap multi-layer adhesive pressing, and the patterns are not engraved, plus you stipulate the use of flintlock bolts, and, most importantly, with only one barrel, the price of this hinged shotgun can be pressed to a very low level. ”
Chen Xin thought about it, it's really like that, those expensive shotguns, the price is high, isn't it just an inflated price made by various gimmicks, look at the advertising videos of those manufacturers, they are all full of a kind of pretended elegance.
Chen Xin, who had figured out the truth, asked Lao Bai, "Do you have a sketch of a hinged shotgun there?" ”
"Master, the hinged structure diagram is completely too small for an artificial intelligence with a large amount of basic data, and now there is a mature process diagram, which can be directly put into production."
Chen Xin smiled with satisfaction, "So, what is the caliber of the civilian rifle sketch you designed?" ”
"Master, of course, it's up to you, and it's up to you to decide what's best."
"I'll decide?" Feeling that there was something in the old vernacular, Chen Xin asked calmly, "What, Lao Bai, do you have any other ideas?" Say it together and refer to it. ”
"Master, I think that the caliber of ammunition for civilian rifles can be the same as the caliber of military standard rifles of our army in the future, but there is a difference in the amount of charge.
In this way, it will be possible to train a group of good marksmen among the people, and when the army is expanded, these marksmen using rifles of the same caliber will be able to quickly adapt to the ballistic performance of military weapons.
At the same time, keeping the caliber of military and civilian ammunition the same can greatly reduce the investment of factories, and it can also train a civilian but necessary manufacturing team.
When the war breaks out and the production capacity is insufficient, orders can be sent to these factories that produce civilian ammunition to fill the gap in military ammunition. ”
