    Time, the nineteenth year of Kangxi, the autumn of 1680 AD.  Map, Yuqing Palace, Forbidden City, Beijing.

    After spending the hot summer, the little prince felt that he felt comfortable no matter what. In the cool and breezy autumn evening, the little prince held the firearms research and development materials from the manufacturing office and studied them attentively.

    A while ago, the little prince moved all the books about firearms in the royal library to his study, including "Records of Soldiers", "Spectrum of Divine Weapons", "Weapons of Preparation", "Magical Machines of Western Fa", "The Essentials of Fire Attack", "  "Cao Hai Tu Compilation", "Weapon Illustrations", "Fire Dragon Artifact Formation", etc. These books record in detail the manufacturing methods, drawings, and use of firearms in the previous dynasties, as well as the arrangement of their barracks.  Let the little prince have an intuitive understanding of the current level of firearms.

    Looking at the development history of firearms in the previous dynasties, it was a rapid development at the beginning and was at the leading level in the world at that time.  It stagnated in the mid-term, and the development of firearms lagged behind Western countries.

    In the late period, due to the pressure of surrounding wars, they purchased from Portugal the French cannons they captured from British ships and copied them, catching up with the tail end of the development of firearms in the world.  Coupled with the frequent wars at that time, the demand for artillery was great, and continuous improvements were made in production and use, resulting in the Hongyi cannon with a range of 500 feet.  It is the predecessor of the current Red Cannon.

    Therefore, although various artillery, fire blunderbuss and bird blunderbuss were improved in many aspects at the end of the previous dynasty, which was also a peak period of development, there was no major progress in essence.

    Before the Qing Dynasty, it was one of the neighboring countries that was at war with the previous dynasty. It truly felt the power of firearms in the late period of the previous dynasty. In addition to the current internal and external troubles and years of civil war, it vigorously developed firearms and various arms equipped with firearms.  Later, when the world became peaceful and the people became wealthy for a long time, they began to be as uninterested in progress as in the middle period of the previous dynasty.  There was even the later seclusion of the country.

    At that time, it was the beginning of the great industrial development and annexation of Western countries.

    When the Qing Dynasty made the most mistakes, it made the same mistake as the previous dynasty: "Although the country is large, it will perish if it remains stable for a long time."

    Starting from the middle of the previous dynasty, China's development of thermal weapons has lagged behind Western countries by 500 years. If it falls behind, it will be beaten.

    The little prince is a little confused. Even if he can develop firearms that surpass the current level of Western countries, so what?  No matter how powerful firearms are developed, there is no guarantee that the Qing Dynasty will not be closed off to the country a hundred years later.  Just like his homeland Feilong Empire in his previous life, it had the best mechas and interstellar warships in the entire galaxy, and it lost and won every war with the federal army.

    It was because of these messy thoughts that the little prince couldn't figure it out. He felt that what he knew was of no real use, and his chubby baby face wrinkled for a few days.

    Emperor Kangxi finally couldn't bear it anymore and agreed to the young prince's previous request. He took the young prince to visit the palace manufacturing office, blacksmith office and Jingshan, which are currently the three places where firearms are manufactured.  When he came back, he generously packed all the backup data of all the firearms back to the little prince.

    Of course, Emperor Kangxi also made a request, that is, neither homework nor rest should be delayed.

    He has high mental strength and is intuitively sensitive to other people's thoughts.  The young prince didn't like most of the missionaries from Western countries he saw in the building office.

    After coming back, I told Emperor Kangxi that the words could be summed up as follows: arrogant, narrow-minded, and the Qing firearms R&D personnel in the Dismantling and Manufacturing Office were full of malicious intent.  Even for him, the prince of the Qing Dynasty, I didn't have any respect in my heart.

    For the first time in two lifetimes, His Royal Highness, the young prince, who was looked down upon by others and had a profound experience of "a weak country without diplomacy", wanted to find a direction as soon as possible and provide some guidance to the people of the Qing Dynasty who participated in the research and development and manufacturing of firearms in these three places.  Highly feasible suggestions.  In order to make their research qualitatively improve in the shortest possible time, they would no longer be subject to the control of foreign missionaries, such as the malicious exclusion of the Nan Huairen missionary.

    ??Fundamentally speaking, what China is lagging behind is not firearms, but the stagnation of natural science and the backwardness of productivity.  The first is the manufacture of gunpowder. At present, the research on the formula of black gunpowder is basically mature, and there is not much room for improvement.

    As for the most critical manufacturing of gunpowder, the shortcomings of purely manual grinding of gunpowder are too obvious, quality cannot be guaranteed, and mass production cannot be achieved.  At this time, Western countries already had gunpowder grinders.  Even if a metal shell is developed to contain gunpowder, how to produce it with high quality is still the biggest problem.

    Secondly, the currently commonly used matchlock guns are too slow to operate and the ignition is unstable. They are not as safe and reliable as the later percussion flintlock guns and percussion shotguns, and the ignition is more stable and the production is simpler.

    ¡°But making these two kinds of fire blunderbuss and bird blunderbuss requires improving the overall steel technology.  The current steel production in Qing DynastyThe level is indeed high, but the steel technology of quantitative production is not as good as the Tang Dao of the later Japanese country.

    Looking at the draft of the painting he had just written, Yinreng began to realize that the first and main thing he had to do was to improve the production process.  As the production process improves, later revolvers and automatic pistols can be directly developed and produced.  Fire-powder also went directly to the manufacture of smokeless fire-powder.

    Of course, we need to remove the match ropes on the fire guns and bird guns first. According to the current production capacity, we can develop Qing Dynasty fire guns and bird guns similar to percussion flintlock guns and percussion shotguns.  The war to pacify Sanpan is not over yet. The actual combat effects can be seen quickly and improvements will continue along with the war.

    After clarifying his thoughts, the young prince ordered the young eunuch to bring in the royal library books such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and the works of Mohists, Lu Ban, Zhuge Liang and other institutions.

    It was almost getting dark at this time. After looking at the time, the little prince thought that he could go to Huang Ama's place to have some food together, then come back to do big calligraphy exercises, and then rest.

    After finishing the evening meal comfortably and comfortably, the little prince and Emperor Kangxi began to stroll around and chat while eating.

    "Look slowly at where you have seen the information. Don't be anxious about this. Skip what you don't understand first and put it aside. Find a time and Emperor Ama will come into the palace to explain it to you. Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince holds this in his heart.  I still remember to come and have dinner with the Emperor, and the Emperor is very pleased."

    "I thank the emperor for your concern. When I return to the emperor for questioning, I have carefully read the information you gave me several times and understand the basic production methods and recipes. It's just that I am not familiar with the actual production. There are a few places.  The understanding is not thorough enough. Erchen really needs Dai Zhen to explain it, and it is best to demonstrate it."

    "Oh" Although Emperor Kangxi did not travel to the future and did not know what it meant to be a top student and what awkward chats meant, it did not prevent Emperor Kangxi from expressing his feelings with an "oh".

    The feeling of having a son with an IQ that crushes us mortals, I guess fathers in ancient and modern times have the same mentality, feeling pain and happiness at the same time.

    The little prince blinked and didn¡¯t understand what happened to Huang Ama.  So he continued to state his research experience: "Er Chen feels that the current gunpowder is ground by hand, which takes a long time and the quality varies."

    "So today I read some books about mechanism techniques. I thought that if I have free time these days, I would discuss with the carpenters in the manufacturing office to first make a gunpowder that does not require manual operation and can move automatically.  Grinding machine, what do Huang Ama think?"
