With the collection of many firearm structures, Ye Chunqiu outlined some structures with his pen.

The biggest function of the light brain is that it can avoid many detours in Ye Chunqiu. The hundreds of years of history can become a lesson for Ye Chunqiu.

Take this small rear-loading gun as an example. What kind of rifle and what kind of design will expose what problems in reality are all precious information.

Of course, although design is easy, just like to draw a picture, it is completely impossible without considering the actual factors. After all, the craftsmanship level of Zhenguo Mansion is here. Although we can work hard to break through certain craft problems due to the manufacturing of firearms, there are some obstacles, and it will take time to make breakthroughs.

As the saying goes, it is not a day to freeze, and the same is true for the improvement of craftsmanship.

Therefore, some overly difficult processes can only be avoided and found an alternative solution. As for other mechanical structures such as triggers, cartridges, operating rods, and springs, they are actually quite simple.

The key to the problem is bullets. It is obviously impossible to apply high-precision bullets like later generations. However, there are many problems in how to overcome the bullet process standards during the Civil War. Many people always believe that creating something from scratch can change the world.

But in fact, this is not the case at all. In human history, there are many inventions and creations that are amazing. Unfortunately, most of the so-called inventions have disappeared in the long river of history.

Because from scratch, you can certainly have ideas, and then find a few skilled craftsmen, don’t hesitate to make money and make a lot of money to create a brand new thing.

But no matter how exquisite it is, what is its use, don't forget that it is just created by skilled craftsmen who have spent a lot of effort. Although it may be useful, it costs a lot.

This kind of thing is actually the same as the emperor's crown of the sky. It seems exquisite, but in fact, it has no use.

At least in Ye Chunqiu's dictionary, his creation in this era was mainly practical. It was easy to produce, but it was difficult to produce on a large scale. It was easy to hire a few craftsmen to manufacture. However, it was crucial to let craftsmen divide the labor and produce a set of inspection standards and ensure that its price was within a reasonable and acceptable range.

If it takes a day to create a bullet, it will take one or two silver dollars, and it will be a whole lot. If such a bullet is shot, Ye Chunqiu will probably want to cry.

Therefore, in addition to the so-called excerpts of some good design methods in later generations, Ye Chunqiu also needs to consult countless materials to study the process of the process and some alternative methods of precious materials. He even needs to modify and simplify certain designs in light of the current production level.

This is definitely a time-consuming and laborious job. Fortunately, he lived in the Central Army Governor's Office without leaving the door. Uh... In fact, he just wanted to go out, but it was not easy, because he was surrounded by people outside.

So he simply threw all his worries out, such as Liu Fang, Jinyiwei, Liu Jin, and King Zhou. These have nothing to do with him for the time being. He calmed down and repeatedly conceived various feasible plans in his mind.

For large-scale manufacturing, tools must be required. The current level of steelmaking is barely acceptable, especially the barrel. The barrel has extremely high requirements for material, and gunpowder instantly bursts out with huge power in the chamber. If the steel fails, it is very easy to cause the explosion and the barrel of the barrel. This is why the current muskets are often thicker. Some muskets have a full-bodied barrel as thick as fingers. In this case, they are just filled with black gunpowder. If it is a more powerful gunpowder, this inferior steel cannot support it at all.

But alloy steel solves this problem very well, and it is also a difficult task to pass the rifle in the gun barrel.

Sometimes Ye Chunqiu sat on the sofa without saying a word, thinking hard, sometimes checking the information in Guangming for comparison, sometimes at the desk, drawing one draft after another.

Ye Chunqiu will not discard every draft at will. He will carefully collect it. Even if the draft is finalized in the future, these drafts will be sent to the research institute. After all, for those researchers, even if the design is failed, it may be an opportunity to learn.

It is obviously not something that can be done by one unit. This involves chemical engineering related to gunpowder. In addition, there is also machinery, metallurgy, and even the processing of wood tools.

Ye Chunqiu even thought that when he solved the current trouble, he would organize a multi-department research and discussion, which would allow everyone in the institute to participate widely.

Ye Chunqiu understands very well that learning and exploring each other often opens a brand new door to people.

After staying here for a few days, Ye Chunqiu was not idle at all. The manuscripts were already piled up like a mountain. The servant took care of Ye Chunqiu in every detail. However, at noon on the third day, the servant suddenly came over and said, "Duke Zhenguo, the British Duke wants to meet Duke Zhenguo, and it will be there in half an hour."

Zhang Mao is coming?

After less than three days of silence, the British Duke suddenly appeared, which surprised Ye Chunqiu.

Although he had no close friends with this British duke in the past, Ye Chunqiu was very familiar with his background. This British duke was from a very big background. He was the descendant of the general Zhang Yu of Jingnan. Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was named Duke by Emperor Wen. After that, his son Zhang Fu inherited the title. His ability was extraordinary. He had organized a war against Annan, and then participated in the Tumu Fort Incident and died in the Tumu Fort Incident.

Zhang Mao inherited Zhang Fu's title in this huge change. At that time, Zhang Mao was younger than Ye Chunqiu now. Because of his father and grandfather, one died in the battle of Jingnan and the other died in Tumu Fort. He was the most tragic prince in the Ming Dynasty, no doubt about it. Therefore, Zhang Mao was almost valued by three generations of emperors, and each trusted him.

But... why did the Duke of England come to see him at this time?

Ye Chunqiu felt suspicious and pursed his lips, but he didn't show any expression. He knew very well that a good show was about to begin next.

He answered the officer, dressed up, and collected all his drafts, and then waited patiently in the room.

Zhang Mao was indeed very punctual. The hourglass in the room passed for exactly half an hour, and footsteps came from outside, and then someone pushed the door open and entered.

I saw Zhang Mao step into the room with a majestic look on his face.
