Chapter 94 Open the Age of Hot Weapons
With Ye Xiao's extraordinary intervention, the weapons of the Qin Dynasty are gradually being updated. It is no exaggeration to say that the weapons of the Qin Empire are the most excellent weapons in the world.
But Ye Xiao was not satisfied with this. Compared with hot weapons, cold weapons are still inferior to those of hot weapons.
No matter how powerful the sword is, it can only be used in the hands of the strong. Firearms do not require any martial arts masters, but can be mastered by ordinary people.
After the high judgment, there are only a few swords with potential, and thermal weapons with fixed power and mass production always have the upper hand in quantity and stability.
If he had come out of firearms early, then war would be a one-sided massacre in this era of cold weapons.
Then, Ye Xiao issued a reward, with many people and great power, as long as he finds the minerals of sulfur, coal, and saltpeter, he can cause trouble at will.
After finding one of them, you can get a bounty of 100 taels. Soon, Ye Xiao hid the materials needed for firearms in Kuaiji Mountain and other places.
However, Ye Xiao's strange behavior attracted Ying Zheng's attention.
So, Ye Xiao was called into the palace by Ying Zheng.
"I heard that the national teacher is searching for sulfur, saltpeter and other substances recently. Could it be that he is refining alchemy?"
In Ying Zheng's opinion, Ye Xiao's chance of using it for refining alchemy is relatively high, and the mysterious masters like Ye Xiao must be extraordinary in the pills they practice. So Ying Zheng wanted to ask for something with shame after Ye Xiao admitted it.
"Yes, but it's not what the king thought. These items are materials used by me to create killing enemies."
Ye Xiao didn't want to hide it too much about the firearm, anyway, it didn't matter much to him.
This was created to arm the Qin army, and he was not a bull-nosed master who likes to keep his hands closed.
"oh?"
Hearing Ye Xiao’s explanation, Ying Zheng couldn’t help but become curious. He still hadn’t heard of it, so he said: “The materials used for weapons and armor are iron and stone, but according to what I understand, the national teacher asks, cannot forge weapons.”
In terms of material, this is naturally not used to make iron, but it is very important. Therefore, Ye Xiao slowly explained to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I use the killing weapon he forged is called a firearm. Even ordinary people can master it. When ordinary people use firearms, they can achieve the effect of instantaneous attacks. They are just a master. If you are not careful, you will die."
"Hiss~"
When Ye Xiao finished explaining, Ying Zheng couldn't help but take a breath. If this weapon was released, what changes would happen in the world?
"National Master, since the firearm is so powerful, it should be difficult to build, right?"
Ying Zheng asked cautiously.
Knowing why Ying Zheng asked this, Ye Xiao stretched out his index finger and shook it gently, and then said, "No, no, this firearm can be mass-produced when I make the drawings. During this time, all soldiers from the Great Qin can be equipped."
"but……"
Speaking of this, Ye Xiao suddenly paused.
"But what?"
Ying Zheng's heart was scratched by a cat at this moment, and he asked quickly.
"But your Majesty still needs to send a large number of craftsmen to you, which is also very convenient."
Facing the itchy Ying Zheng, Ye Xiao offered a condition and said.
"What's wrong with this? I agree."
After Ye Xiao expressed this condition, Ying Zheng readily agreed.
"If my dear master can create such a magical object, let alone flatten the world, and just talking about the Huns, how can we dare to be arrogant? Why should we spend our energy to build the Great Wall?"
The happy Ying Zheng slapped the table and said.
However, Ye Xiao, who was drinking water at this moment, was choked.
"You are fine, my dear."
Ying Zheng asked with concern as he looked at Ye Xiao sitting opposite the table.
"It's okay."
Ye Xiao covered his mouth and said awkwardly.
When Ye Xiao was instantly shocked when he heard that Ying Zheng did not build the Great Wall.
Just like that, a world-class monument is gone because of him?
However, if it is gone, it is gone. Why should he take into account the future of this world?
The Great Wall was originally built to resist foreign enemies. If the strength of the Qin Dynasty did not need to be afraid of the foreign tribes such as the Huns, the Great Wall would not be necessary to exist.
In this world where the seven countries conquered, the annual labor service was actually accelerating the decline of population and labor.
If the hard labor that built the Great Wall could be liberated, wouldn’t this be a great achievement for the world?
After talking to Ying Zheng, after obtaining Ying Zheng's promise, Ye Xiao dispatched a large number of craftsmen to study and manufacture firecrackers in the Mohist base.
After the naturalization of the Hundred Schools, the Mohist school was included in mechanical engineering construction and manufacturing war beasts and civilian equipment. The farmers were used to repair calendars and survey terrain and cultivate hybrid rice. The remaining Hundred Schools also found their own development path.
The most important point is that the force groups in the hundreds of schools were directly thrown into the military camp and continued to shine and heat.
For example, the farmer Ji Bu and Han Xin.
In the Mohist city, known as the Demon Realm of Heaven, the domineering organs and the Mohist family did not develop muskets after seeing the powerful power of gunpowder, but instead started to explode the organ beast, bombard the sky thunder, and cannons.
However, the research direction here is too plundering, but the public losers are more gentle than the Mohist school, creating fireworks and firecracker signal flasks, which can be used for the people.
When there are many mosquitoes, it can repel mosquitoes, and it can also shock all animals when it is in the mountains and suburbs.
Out of civilian psychology, its power is relatively weak.
Although they created a series of derivatives of gunpowder, Ye Xiao still devoted himself to making muskets.
The single shot he made at first was changed to continuous shots. After further improvement, the filling speed could be short, but the power became weaker.
Finally, after finally creating a copper sheet with a power that can penetrate a specified thickness, Ye Xiao stopped here.
As for fully automatic? Just kidding.
If he had the intention, he might as well do the nanny to the end and directly turn Daqin into an advanced technological civilization.
However, Ye Xiao would not do this. His purpose was to make the Qin Dynasty conquer the world. What happened in the future depends on Ying Zheng's attitude.
When Ye Xiao made a continuous and relatively stable firearm, he directly asked the craftsmen to start manual production, while he took the firearm to report.
By the way, there are some gunpowder derivatives.
After hearing Ye Xiao had made a mysterious weapon, the curious minister followed Ying Zheng to an open space.
In the open space, several items were covered by linen, and several targets were placed in the distance, which were already small enough within the range of the eyes.
"Prime Minister Li, what do you think of the weapons of the National Master?
An official following Li Si asked itchy.
"How could I know? But the National Normal University can always surprise people, right? We just need to wait and see."
Although Li Si was promoted to the prime minister, he was unforgettable for Ye Xiao's grace. If Li Si's position lies, then Ye Xiao must be.
However, there are still too many people gathering in Ye Xiao’s position.
