Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 538 Liu Feng developed a smoothbore gun

"Ma Jun."

"There are too few craftsmen at level nine."

"I want to conquer the world, so I'm going to war with the Guishuang Empire, followed by the Parthia Empire, and the strongest Roman Empire."

"There must be at least dozens of ninth-level craftsmen who can make dozens of rifled guns a month."

Ma Jun had a strange expression on his face, "Your Majesty, handicrafts cannot be learned in a day or two."

"Ingenuity requires them to be gifted. If His Majesty hadn't found out the Mohists and the public losers hidden in the mountains and forests."

"I'm afraid it will take a long time to develop our rifled guns."

"What about the steam engine, is there any progress now?"

"It has been tested more than 100 times, from the lowest power to the one that can overturn a house now, we are looking for the steel with the best airtightness, and we want to create a steel that can continuously burst out the power of steam A constant point."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to see this thing in three to five years."

Liu Feng waved his hand. He didn't think that the current technology could make a steam engine.

"No rush, take your time."

"I'm still young, I'll see you when I have a chance."

"By the way, where's the cannon?"

"I heard that you recently built an [-]-pound cannon that can hold dozens of catties of flower bombs?"

"Yes, at present, our workshop mainly promotes the 9-pound copper cannon."

"It can be used for patrol boats on rivers and for naval battles against islands."

"There are also escort ships."

"Even when the army is conquering bandits and bandits, it can be used."

"Moreover, the cost of this item is cheap, and the manufacturing speed is fast. We can equip it on the cities of various places."

"Become a kind of weapon for our big man to defend the city."

"9 pounds, the power is too small."

Liu Feng followed Ma Jun to the shell storage room.

"Your Majesty, these are open-ended bullets and solid bullets."

"Besides, there are shotguns."

"Shotguns have also been developed, not bad."

"But I had a whim, is it possible to apply the rifling technology to the barrel?"

"Rifling?"

Ma Jun smiled, "Reporting to Your Majesty, when you provided us with the technology of rifled guns, our craftsmen were already trying, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded."

"Then keep building."

"Besides, the armrest roulette I asked you to make, have you finished it?"

"Your Majesty wants to equip six barrels of rifled guns on a roulette. Although it seems feasible, the flint fired by our flintlock guns may not be able to send six bullets when the roulette rotates. Call out at the same time."

Liu Feng casually picked up a copper core bullet made by Ma Jun.

"With our current technology, it is very difficult to manufacture this kind of bullet."

"But I hope that you can develop in this direction."

"In the future, it is not only necessary to fire six bullets in an instant, but to continuously and automatically transport the bullets into the barrel, so that one hundred, one thousand, or even ten thousand bullets can be fired one after another."

"And the shooting range has to be increased from two hundred steps to thousands of steps."

"In this way, the era of cavalry charge can be ended."

"Infantry can also defeat cavalry."

Ma Jun nodded approvingly, "According to His Majesty's assumption, this thing is indeed an upgraded version of Zhuge Liannu."

"In addition, flintlock guns are indeed difficult to achieve the mode of a roulette machine gun."

"But I think we can change it."

"Such as firing a needle firing device."

"There is also ammunition, we can pack it in cardboard."

Ma Jun's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty is really a gift from heaven and man. I didn't expect that His Majesty would solve the problem that had troubled me for many days just by mentioning it."

"Also, there's the spin-back pull gun."

"It is to rotate to pull out the firing pin, and then let the bullet, this kind of copper core bullet, take a lot of time to sharpen."

"In the future, after the power of our steam engine can be provided to the grinder, we can install this kind of bullets in batches."

"It's a steam engine again."

Ma Jun took Liu Feng to the weapon exhibition hall in front. From now on, each army asked for weapons, and the generals of each army came to visit and select weapons, and they were all here.

"Your Majesty." Ma Jun poured Liu Feng a cup of tea himself.

"I really want to ask, why are you so obsessed with steam engines?"

"Previously, His Majesty asked Huang Shangshu (Huang Yueying) to develop the loom, which can be used to weave cloth by stepping on it. Now, in the generation of Han Jiangnan and Shuzhong, more than [-] looms have been built in batches. This thing is of great use. , and His Majesty also employs a lot of women, besides the busy farming, they can also earn money for the family."

"Above the ruling and opposition parties, there is also joy."

"Is this steam engine really that good?"

Liu Feng smiled.

"Ma Jun, before my great Han Dynasty, it was the pre-Qin period. Before the pre-Qin period, it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It was the Zhou Dynasty. Before the Zhou Dynasty, it was Shang and Xia. Before that, it was the tribal era."

"In the tribal era, what did our human race use?"

"Stone implements, wooden thorns."

"After the dynasty was established, bronze wares were used."

"Nowadays, it is already dominated by iron."

"But we big men have developed gunpowder guns and artillery, so even if Cao Jun is strong, with strong generals like Sima Yi, Cao Ren, and Xu Chu, he can only lose."

"Gunpowder guns, artillery, this is an era."

"And in the next few hundred years, or even thousands of years, there will be an era that will not regress."

"Iron tools, knives and guns will not leave the battlefield."

"But we need something more, to push the wheels of the big man."

"We want to lead the world."

"After the steam engine is built, we can make a steam locomotive for running on the rails, which can run 160 miles per hour."

"Hiss..." Since the unit of one hour, Ma Jun also has a better understanding, but what is the concept of running 160 miles in one hour?
Now Liu Feng's two-thousand-mile rush is enough to run to death. One day and one night, the running method of changing horses without changing people, and having a stable gallop, can run so far.

But now the steam locomotive runs 160 miles an hour, wouldn't it be... three thousand, 840 miles in that day?

"Your Majesty, won't our urgent reports be sent [-] miles a day?"

Liu Feng shook his head, "Steam locomotives are also flawed. They burn coal, generate a lot of heat, and need to be watered for a long time. I'm glad that I can travel more than 2000 miles a day. In this way, long-distance emergency calls can also be banned. I will find ways in the future. Orders are also convenient to spread everywhere.”

"Besides, I asked you to develop something that can replace sending messages on horseback. Are you ready?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it is ready."
