    In August of the sixth year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi came to the firearms factory. As the dragon chariot landed on the ground, everyone fell to the ground.  Looking at the people in front of him, Emperor Tianqi showed a smile on his face and said: "My dear friends, please be free!" Today Emperor Tianqi came to inspect the industrial zone. After more than half a year of research and development, the Ming Dynasty finally built its first  A steelmaking industrial zone.  Here, a large-scale steelmaking industry was established, and the entire industrial chain began to take shape here.  ??For industrial areas, whether in later generations or now, they are synonymous with dirty and messy areas.  However, Emperor Tianqi could not see this. This place had been sorted out long before Emperor Tianqi came.  The main bluestone road was not only spotless, but also had some water sprinkled on it, and the workers who walked by were also clean and tidy.  Although there are health management regulations in the industrial zone, the best implementation is probably the day Emperor Tianqi comes.  The industrial zone is built on a mountain. Halfway up the mountain are factories and blast furnaces. At the bottom of the mountain, there are a lot of waste materials and iron ore. Of course, there is also iron ore that has just been transported.  Slowly walking over, Emperor Tianqi picked up a fist-sized piece of iron ore and nodded with satisfaction.  Throwing the ore back, Emperor Tianqi looked back at Xu Guangqi and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing, thank you for your hard work. I am very satisfied that you have achieved such a big achievement in such a short period of time." "Your Majesty praises me for this.  Officials at all levels are responsible for their orders and local governments are cooperating. If I didn't have the emperor's advice, I would have spent my whole life trying to do this. I don't dare to bow, but I am just holding the light of heaven in my mouth." Although Xu Guangqi had a smile on his face.  Although he was tired, he still couldn't hide his excitement.  Obviously being able to achieve such an achievement makes him very confident.  He nodded slowly.  Emperor Tianqi did not struggle with Xu Guangqi on this issue. As he walked towards the steelmaking blast furnace, he turned back and asked Xu Guangqi, "Xu Aiqing, how is the quality of the steel now? Can it meet the usage requirements?" "Go back to the emperor, use this kind of steel."  The steel produced by this method is very good and can meet the usage requirements. The lathe workshop has been able to manufacture simple lathes, and various machines have been put into use. The output of the firearms factory has increased.  A lot. After large-scale promotion, the output can be at least doubled." Xu Guangqi looked at his achievements with a smile on his face, which can be said to be Captain Lao Huai.  After giving Xu Guangqi an appreciative look, Emperor Tianqi gave a few more instructions and then left the factory with his men.  On the way to the warehouse, Emperor Tianqi finally asked the question he was most concerned about.  Said: "Xu Aiqing, do you have any idea about the steam engine now?" For Emperor Tianqi, other things are not the most important, only the steam engine is the most critical.  The beginning of modern industry is the steam engine, as long as the steam engine can be used.  Ming Dynasty took the lead in the entire world.  This point is crucial, and Emperor Tianqi will not relax at all.  Although Xu Guangqi didn¡¯t know why Emperor Tianqi valued steam engines so much, he could understand Emperor Tianqi¡¯s mood.  He nodded slowly and said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, I have some ideas now. I have built a simple steam engine. After some experiments, it can be used in coal mines. If simple drainage can be carried out, the steam engine must be  It will be improved faster." Emperor Tianqi originally thought it was just some clues.  Unexpectedly, the model had already been built, and I was immediately interested.  He looked at Xu Guangqi with an expression of surprise on his face and said with a smile: "Aiqing really gave me a surprise. In this case, Aiqing will take me to take a look." Xu Guangqi did not dare to delay at all and smiled.  Leading the way, he was no longer the same as before.  Xu Guangqi was always worried that Emperor Tianqi was just a whim. If he had no achievements, Emperor Tianqi would give up the firearms factory.  After all, the firearms factory was really wasting money, but now Yang no longer had this worry.  Everyone in the imperial court has seen the important role of the firearms factory. Whether it is artillery or muskets, no one is denying the role of the firearms factory now.  Following Xu Guangqi to the laboratory, Emperor Tianqi was suddenly a little surprised.  I originally thought it was just a laboratory with a few rooms, but I didn't expect it to be a huge square yard. The entire laboratory looked like an open space surrounded by city walls.  The surrounding area is also heavily guarded, with soldiers standing guard and patrolling everywhere.  Regarding steam engines, Emperor Tianqi only had a rough impression and had never really seen one.  However, after seeing the model of the steam engine, Emperor Tianqi knew that this was the correct research direction.  However, what Emperor Tianqi did not expect was that the person in charge of this project was actually Song Yingxing, which made Emperor Tianqi even more confident.  "My dear, let me try it, I want to see the effect!" Emperor Tianqi called Song Yingxing to his side and said softly.  It sounds familiarThere was a loud roar, and Emperor Tianqi suddenly showed a nostalgic expression on his face, and his eyes even turned a little red.  Looking at the running steam engine, Emperor Tianqi knew that his dream was about to come true.  While Emperor Tianqi was inspecting the firearms factory, in another laboratory of the firearms factory, a man was conducting intensive experiments.  Although Emperor Tianqi came here, he did not go to pick him up. This was also authorized by Emperor Tianqi. This person is Bi Maokang, the current actual person in charge of the firearms factory.  Bi Maokang was a Jinshi during the Wanli period, and was awarded the official position of censor as a member of Zhongshushe.  Because of his straightforward character and hatred of evil, Bi Maokang wrote a letter to impeach the cabinet minister and was convicted.  Although someone later recommended him, he still ended up with an official position patrolling salt at Changlu Salt Field.  From censor to salt farm manager, it can be said that there have been ups and downs, and Bi Maokang felt that his future was gloomy.  It can be said that if you have ambitions in your heart that cannot be realized, you have no way to serve the country.  But Emperor Tianqi valued this man very much. How could Emperor Tianqi let go of this talented person who invented the broken-hair gun in the late Ming Dynasty?  When the firearms factory was established, Emperor Tianqi dropped this person into the firearms factory.  With the support of Emperor Tianqi, Bi Maokang did not disappoint Emperor Tianqi, and the gun was quickly developed.  Now there is a large-scale equipment camp in Beijing, which makes Bi Maokang famous.  Emperor Tianqi also had great faith in Bi Maokang. Now he is not only a clerk in the Military Aircraft Department, but also the person in charge of the firearms factory.  Everyone could see that Emperor Tianqi was cultivating a successor for Xu Guangqi.  If nothing happens, Xu Guangqi's position will be Bi Maokang's in the future.  After researching the gun, Bi Maokang did not stop researching, because Emperor Tianqi gave him a new target, which was the twenty-eight consecutive fire gun.  Emperor Tianqi has been coveting this kind of firearm for a long time.  The twenty-eight-shot fire gun was invented by Dai Zi during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Because the Qing Dynasty did not pay attention to firearms, this kind of firearm disappeared in the long river of history, and Dai Zi's life also ended tragically.  But Emperor Tianqi didn't want this kind of firearm to disappear. If he could create twenty-eight consecutive fire blunderbuss, it would definitely be a qualitative improvement in the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army.  Emperor Tianqi was waiting for Bi Maokang to develop this twenty-eight-shot fire gun. When this kind of firearm was put into use, the conditions for Emperor Tianqi to use foreign troops would be mature.  With an army equipped with modern firearms, what Emperor Tianqi could imagine was an invincible posture on the battlefield.  In the army of the Ming Dynasty, the Lianzi gun was assembled, and this twenty-eight-gun fire gun was the latest version of the Lianzi gun.  Bi Maokang has done extensive research on Lianzi gun and Suifa gun. At this time, it would not take too much effort to develop this kind of twenty-eight Lianzhu fire gun.  At this time, Bi Maokang was experimenting with this new type of firearm, the twenty-eight-shot fire gun.  However, Bi Maokang did not adopt the twenty-eight consecutive beads mentioned by Emperor Tianqi, but twenty adopted twenty consecutive beads.  On top is a wooden box, irregular rectangular, which is the magazine of this twenty-shot gun.  There are twenty mini bullets inside, which is where Bi Maokang is more advanced than Dai Zi.  Below is a modified Suifu gun. Looking at the target opposite, Bi Maokang took a deep breath. If the experiment can be successful this time, Bi Maokang feels that he will definitely be able to leave his name in history.  Gently pull the trigger, bang!  Sure enough, Bi Maokang was not disappointed, a bullet hit the target.  This greatly increased Bi Maokang's confidence. Because he was too nervous, his forehead was already covered with sweat.  After wiping his sweat, Bi Maokang pulled the trigger again. The gun suddenly made a crisp sound again, and a puff of white smoke immediately rose up!  Bang bang bang!  Bi Maokang kept pulling the trigger, and the bullets were fired one by one. Until the bullets were all gone, Bi Maokang still stood there in a daze.  The expressions on their faces were very complicated, but several officials on one side celebrated loudly at this time.  Ignoring the officials, Bi Maokang looked down at the gun in his hand, gently took off the magazine, and told a person on the side: "Bring me a magazine, quickly!" The last word,  Bi Maokang seemed to have shouted with all his strength, and the sound shook the room.  Everyone looked at Bi Maokang in surprise. The people on the side quickly took another magazine and handed it to Bi Maokang respectfully.  Without the slightest hesitation, Bi Maokang loaded the magazine again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and pulled the trigger hard.  A series of crisp gunshots rang out again, and the laboratory suddenly burst into jubilation.  When all the bullets were fired, Bi Maokang finally showed a smile on his face, but the smile quickly solidified because his body had fallen backward.  For this experiment, Bi Maokang has not slept for two days. At this time, the experiment was successful, but he??I can't stand it anymore.  People on the side rushed over and shouted for help!
