"The changes in Xishan are quite big."

Walking on this Juxian Avenue, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "It's been so different from what I saw."

Bi Maokang, Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu and other members of the Military Preparatory Academy all had smiles on their faces, followed the emperor and walked slowly forward.

"I founded the Military Academy and gathered talents to engage in research in various fields, and I will definitely achieve success." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Bi Maokang and spoke.

"Bi Qing, this time you have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Only by relying on external forces can you make the musket fire and change it to a flintlock musket. This step is very critical.

Only with one can there be two.

I believe that your Martial Arts Academy will surely achieve corresponding achievements in firearms and artillery in the future and promote the development of our Ming Dynasty in this field."

"Your Majesty is absurd."

Bi Maokang bowed slightly and said, "This is not the only one who is the merit. If it were not for what Your Majesty had said before, including many colleagues' discussions.

Many of the things I think in my heart are immature.

Including the location of the flint, the capacity of the medicine room, the material of the firing hammer, etc., there are many ingenuity behind it, so..."

Listening to what Bi Maokang introduced, Emperor Chongzhen did not interrupt, but listened seriously.

After all, in the field of firearms, if the Ming Dynasty wants to rise steadily and become a sensible, it depends on these real talents to overcome technical barriers little by little.

Emperor Chongzhen was not sure about the detailed composition of the firearm field, including the detailed composition of other fields. All he could know was the development trajectory.

Professional matters need professional development. All Emperor Chongzhen could do was tell all the things he knew to the people in the Martial Arts Academy and pay the money quickly.

There is no shortcut to the rise in the field of technology.

All you can do is to be patient, take one step at a time, spend a lot of money, gather a large number of people, and repeatedly test and argue in various subdivided fields, summarize experiences and lessons, and overcome technical barriers.

It is called the current Ming Dynasty to develop a steam engine, and it runs all over the world. It is purely a daydream, and there is no corresponding technical reserve. It’s nothing to develop.

On the way to Xishan Schoolyard, Emperor Chongzhen listened to everyone's words, gave full affirmation of the current achievements of the Martial Arts Academy, and encouraged him.

After all, the fields that the Martial Arts Institute engages in are extremely boring. Without determination and belief, it is difficult for ordinary people to persevere here.

Compared with missionaries such as Deng Yuhan, Luo Yagu, Tang Johnson, and Long Huamin, in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen, he valued more the Ming Dynasty talents such as Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Xiong Mingyu, Wang Zheng, Li Zhizao, Bi Maokang, Wu Zhiwang, and Xu Xiake. After all,

In many fields, local dispatch is needed to serve as pillars.

Compared with the Martial Arts Institute when it was first established, the Martial Arts Institute at that time was full of talents, and its field was not limited to firearms and artillery.

Many fields such as medicine, astronomy, physics, machinery, geography, etc. have already begun to operate. The money spent on the Military Academy is a considerable amount.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, no matter how much money the Martial Arts Academy spends, he doesn't feel sorry for him. After all, this is different from the corrupt Ming Dynasty officialdom. The former can see corresponding changes, while the latter is purely a meat bun to beat a dog.

"Is this the flintlock gun produced?"

Holding a musket and getting a little heavy, Emperor Chongzhen observed it and said, "What was the situation in the previous test? Is there a high probability of a blow-off?

Is there a situation of silence? Does the fire gun I have the conditions for mass production?"

Compared with those professional words, what Emperor Chongzhen mentioned is extremely practical.

The intention is very clear.

Whether the flintlock rifle developed by the first generation can be mass-produced, and whether there are other breakthroughs in the Military Preparation Institute to enhance the power of the flintlock rifle.

As far as Emperor Chongzhen knew, the flintlock musket developed by the team led by Bi Maokang was just the beginning.

The length of the gun barrel, the depiction of the rifle, etc.

If we can make corresponding breakthroughs in these aspects, and the rifled flintlock rifle can be developed as soon as possible, the Ming Dynasty's ability in field battles will definitely be greatly enhanced.

However, the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time. To realize these ideas, it cannot be achieved in a short period of time. If all technical barriers are overcome, Emperor Chongzhen will doubt it.

"Your Majesty, the Military Preparation Institute has organized several tests together with the Xishan Musket Battalion."

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Bi Maokang stepped forward and said, "By the summary test results, different times, different wind directions, and different environments.

The flintlock fire gun that Your Majesty has taken has many problems, and the risk of explosion has been reduced, but there is still a large space in the material of the gun barrel.

Please see, Your Majesty, this is..."

In the next stick of incense, Emperor Chongzhen listened carefully to the corresponding report. Bi Maokang and Song Yingxing explained the situation in a realistic manner, including Deng Yuhan, Tang Ruowang and others, and also talked about some issues.

For example, the study of special materials.

For example, research on rifling machines.

For example, the study of gun barrels.

There are many professional terms that even Emperor Chongzhen only has a slight understanding, but there is one meaning that Emperor Chongzhen understood.

The flintlock musket developed in this model can be produced in small batches to deal with the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the Military Preparation Institute will condemn some people to the army equipped with this type of musket to collect corresponding data as an important reference for subsequent development.

"I have to leave professional matters to you, don't worry about how much money you spend."

Emperor Chongzhen took the musket, looked at everyone present, and said, "As for other things, I will solve them for you. The Martial Arts Court submitted a memorial to the imperial court.

In addition, this flintlock musket is produced in small batches to enhance the combat power of some troops, and also ask you to collect corresponding data.

Yongwei Camp, Shenji Camp, Dongjiang Army and other departments are in urgent need of this flintlock musket to combat rampant rebellion in the area where they are located.”

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the practical attitude of the Wubei Academy. After all, he allocated a lot of food and wages, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. If the Wubei Academy was like the civil servants in the court, it would be purely a decoration.
