    When Dai Zi entered the palace to see Emperor Kangxi, he was wearing loose robes and a skinny appearance, with protruding high cheekbones and a pair of sharp eyes, looking at Emperor Kangxi piercingly.  (eng.com) Kangxi was startled and asked in a slightly trembling voice: "Ai Qing, why are you like this?"

    Dai Zi fell to the ground to greet him, and replied in a clear voice: "Your Majesty, the cannon carriage is ready."

    Kangxi stood up, strode in front of Dai Zi, grabbed Dai Zi's shoulders and skirt, and shouted: "Are you serious?"

    Dai Zi nodded with stern eyes and said, "Indeed. Three caliber specifications have been developed at the same time, and the accuracy is nine out of ten"

    Kangxi couldn't help but hold Dai Zi's shoulder heavily. Dai Zi suddenly felt pain and stretched out his hand to gently cover the back of Kang Xi's hand. Kang Xi grabbed Dai Zi's hand, squeezed it tightly, and carefully weighed his words: "You,  very good"

    Dai Zi suppressed his excitement and asked the emperor to observe the cannon truck test firing exercise.  Kangxi nodded in agreement and decided to review the effectiveness of the artillery at the Xishan Campus at noon the next day.

    Kangxi did not hesitate to praise Dai Zi: "Dai Qing, thank you for your hard work. You are so thin, but don't you eat at the right time?"

    Although Dai Zi is thin, he is in good spirits. Xiao Yanyan replied: "Wei Chen has always been focused on these things. In addition, he travels between the Ordnance Department and the Xishan Artillery Field every day. When he is busy, he often forgets to eat"

    Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but laugh. Dai Zi was indeed an upright person. If it were anyone else, he would have to pretend to be humble. How could he be so honest about hard work and forgetting to eat and sleep?  However, Kangxi admired Dai Zi's scientific research ability too much, and the more he saw it, the more delighted he became.

    As soon as Dai Zi mentioned weapon research, he immediately gushed: "the mobile base of the cannon truck is very easy to use and can remove nine-tenths of the recoilThe front sight has been calibrated thirty-seven times and has a range error of 200 meters.  Less than half a meterif it is controlled by an experienced gunner, the accuracy of one and a half meters can be guaranteed even from 500 meters awayIt's there."

    Emperor Kangxi smiled and listened carefully to Dai Zi's report.  Even when discussing some scientific research terminology, Kangxi was very focused and devoted.  Kangxi once personally gave Dai Zi preliminary guidance on technical issues such as model specifications, standard sizes, styling functions, and application range of actual combat weapons.  Even those superficial knowledge came from the popular science education films Kangxi watched on the military channel

    ¡°After all, those cognitions are derived from the essence of the development of modern weapons. I am afraid that there is nothing that cannot be imagined or dared to be thought of, but nothing that cannot be accomplished.  At least, Dai Zi has completed some part of the improvement work. The difference between the movable cannon truck and the tank gun and howitzer is not far away

    Kangxi was extremely pleased, and at the same time, he also thought vigilantly that how to keep scientific research intellectual property confidential is really the top priority.  Dai Zi's family now lived in a mansion granted by Emperor Kangxi, located in an old street inside Xihua Gate.  Kangxi personally approved and transferred the money from the private treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and paid Dai Zi a high salary and an expert allowance from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which was enough to support a family of young and old without having to go out to make money.  Dai Zi's two sons also asked them to change their names and ensure that they would be sent to Kyoto Elementary School in the future.

    Kangxi knew that high-tech and high-secret talents like Dai Zi were most afraid of being suppressed and exploited by interested people, especially not being colluded with by other princes and ministers to make friends in private.  Even Dai Zi's family must never have the opportunity to come into contact with Beppu's staff and disciples.  For nothing, today's light artillery vehicles can shoot almost 100 times within a range of 500 meters. The hidden meaning is that like the emperor standing on the gate tower of the Forbidden City to watch the ceremony, the people below the tower have to be controlled at a distance of 500 meters to ensure safety.

    The world is so intertwined with pros and cons. Since Kangxi preserved Dai Zi and strongly supported his research and development of artillery and machine guns, in the future, with the application of a large number of gunpowder weapons, it also means that the defense standards of the royal family must be improved accordingly.  Kangxi also didn't know whether changing the course of history would lead to his own death.

    However, at that time, Kangxi secretly ordered Dai Zi to steal the red artillery technology as soon as possible, and then excluded Nan Huairen from the precision weapons research and development team.

    At that time, Kangxi issued an imperial edict and specially allocated funds to build a beautiful and exquisite Catholic church for Nan Huairen in the eastern suburbs of the city. This was just to invite Nan Huairen and other missionaries to concentrate on preaching and spreading the gospel of God, away from the weapons research and development center.

    At that time, Nan Huairen¡¯s mixed expressions of resentment and joy were all drowned out by Emperor Kangxi personally congratulating the completion of the new church and cutting the ribbon.

    Soon after, Kangxi secretly provided money and people, and ordered Prince Yu Fuquan to build a medium-sized temple one mile away from the Catholic Church in the eastern suburbs of the city in the name of accumulating blessings for his mother and concubine.  The Buddha statue is still made of gold.
