Chapter 981 Open the door to guns
Li Mu didn't say anything else, use the steelmaking method I taught you to exchange for other people's iron ore, so that you can become the most popular person. But he didn't say this, because according to the current situation, Wang Rui would definitely not agree. He also counted on this secret method as the killer weapon of ZTE's family business.
But in the end, he would definitely do the exchange he should do. Li Mu did not take these things seriously. At his level, he looked at macro things. It doesn’t matter who knows the so-called secret methods. As long as he can create what he needs on time, it’s enough.
Besides, he was not tied to Wang Rui. If Wang Rui could not create the weapons he needed on time, what is the steel filling method or the steel forging method, he could teach others at any time. Will Wang Rui dare to grin?
In the evening, after refusing Wang Rui's repeated attempts, Li Mu insisted on returning to Yangzhou City. After the Chinese New Year, Li Mu's time was arranged in a dense manner. All the itineraries were made by Wei Yingluo. If you want to find him temporarily, unless it was Li Shimin, no one else would have the same face. So Wang Rui asked Wei Yingluo to find the right person, after all, she was in charge of Li Mu's daily itinerary.
There is no way, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. Doing more work today is to retire tomorrow as soon as possible. Li Mu has been using this sentence to encourage himself, but in fact he has no idea. He doesn't know when he can truly put down the stall in his hand and hide in the Liuke to live a life of his life.
"Xiaojiu, look at this." In the studio, Li Mu handed Dugu Jiu a bullet of about an inch as if he was a magician.
That's right, the bullet. Dugu Jiu also knew that Li Mu had something he called a "gun" and was carried with him. When he was used, he would make a thunder-like sound, which was extremely lethal. Li Mu claimed to the public that the "Yiyang Finger" was this thing called "gun".
I saw it was about the same length as a human index finger, and it was wrapped in paper shells, one end pointed and the other end thick.
Dugu Jiu frowned and said, "Why is this thing made of paper shells? I remember your gun, the bullet is copper?"
"It's just to save costs," Li Mu bent down and took out a long spear from under the desk. It was completely different from the exquisite short spear in his arms. This one was relatively rough and not that delicate. Dugu Jiu took it and played with it for a while, and said, "It's still practical, which lacks fancy things and saves a lot of labor."
He said it very pertinently. The one in Li Mu's hand was extremely luxurious. The gun barrel was made of gold, the grip was made of ivory, and it was supplemented by exquisite hollow carvings. Not to mention the material, this working hours were worth more than a thousand guan. The bullet was still copper, so who could afford it? Only Li Mu, who did not use money as money, would make such a thing.
"When using it, just use your teeth to bite the bullet tip and pour the gunpowder into the fire pool. The projectile is in the middle of the paper shell, blocking the remaining gunpowder and cannot be poured out." Li Mu can trust Dugu Jiu infinitely, and the explanation is very detailed: "Then close the fire door, stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel with a strip. As long as the gunpowder is not damp, the launch will not be affected."
Dugu Jiu played back and forth, frowned slightly, and said, "What's the use of this thing? If you didn't fire a single shot in front of the two armies, I'd already shot three arrows."
Dugu Jiu is not talking nonsense. The "gun" Li Mu took out is still in a very primitive stage. Compared with the guns of later generations, almost all the body is full of shortcomings. Li Mu is not unable to create a better gun, it can be done, but there is no need.
"You are right. It is really not very useful in front of the two armies-" Li Mu said with a smile, "But he is not used in front of the two armies, this is used on the ship."
"On the boat?" Dugu Jiu became even more confused and said, "What's the use of on the boat? Do you also fight wars at sea?"
There were no enemies in the waters around the Tang Dynasty. Later generations of Japanese pirates who brought huge troubles to the Central Plains could not create ships of more than 200 stones, and the naval battle was even more unnecessary. The Thousand Stone ships of the Tang Dynasty sailed by, and the waves brought about may overturn the ship.
"Everything has to be prepared for the future. There is no war now, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no future. If you are not prepared, you will definitely suffer a loss." Li Mu pointed to the 'world map' hanging on the wall and told Dugu Jiu: "The harbor west of Tubo is home to the sea, and their navigation skills are also very developed, which is no less than our Tang Dynasty. If we meet them on the sea in the future, there will inevitably be conflicts."
Dugu Jiu glanced at the location where Li Mu pointed, which was more than ten thousand miles away from the Tang Dynasty. He could not imagine that he could reach that far by boat. But since Li Mu said that it was necessary, it must be a necessary thing, and he did not stubbornly. Just looked at the gun in his hand, Dugu Jiu was still puzzled and said, "Brother, the range of this thing should not be farther than that of a bow and arrow, why not use a bow and arrow?"
"Good question!" Li Mu smiled and said, "There are three benefits. First, the accuracy of the bow and arrow is the first step, the arm strength, and the second step is the eye strength. Both are indispensable. This gun can pull the trigger by an individual, and there is no threshold for arm strength. It is also easy to aim. Seeing that these two gaps are not met, the target will be met, and there is no possibility of failure to hit."
"Secondly, bows and arrows are much longer than bullets, and there are many winds and waves on the sea. After the bow and arrow are shot out, the head will be tilted when the wind blows, and the bullet will not be affected much."
"Third," Li Mu took out two more guns and put them at his hand, saying, "Like you said, if I shoot one shot, you can shoot two arrows. But who said, I only have one gun? I have five guns, all of them are loaded and placed next to them, so that I can shoot continuously, faster than you shoot archery, right? And I save more effort, and if I shoot archery for a long time, will my arms not be sore?"
Dugu Jiu is a martial arts fanatic. The advantage of martial arts fanatic is that he will not admit his mistakes. If he is wrong, he is wrong. If he is right, he will not admit his mistakes because he is desperate. He also took a boat and thought about what Li Mu said. It seemed that it made sense. Then he nodded and said, "Brother is right. This thing is indeed better than a bow and arrow in the sea."
"You will come to General Hou tomorrow. You have to discuss this with him. Although you can create any blacksmith, you can make it, but it is a taboo thing after all. Let him buy it by the Ministry of War and let the East Factory build it."
"East Factory?" Dugu Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the East Factory that Li Mu mentioned was not the East Factory that had died eunuchs, but the East City Arsenal in Chang'an. Speaking of which, the original intention of the East Factory was originally the security guard of the East City Arsenal, but now he has overseen his authority and replaced this name. It seems very interesting.
