Early the next morning, Zhao Feng came to the Ministry of Works. This was the itinerary he had set yesterday. He was now very eager to see the power of the previous firearms. If he could, if he could use this weapon next time he would use it, he would definitely save a lot of time. Of course, the lives of soldiers!

When we arrived at the Ministry of Works, all the assembly lines of the Ministry of Works have started!

Originally, Zhao Feng wanted to set up a separate work department for office work, but Master Wang and Ma Jun were very opposed, believing that this would reduce work efficiency. After all, if the office and the construction site were not together, it would be a bit troublesome!

Zhao Feng thought about it and found that this was indeed the case, so he set up the Ministry of Works in the original blacksmith shop, where he opened a room independently as an office!

"I have met the lord!" After seeing Zhao Feng, Ma Jun and Master Wang bowed to him one after another.

"Well, no Bi Duoli, you should know my intention to come today, right? I just want to see if the firearm you tested before can meet my standard requirements!" Zhao Feng said.

"Yes! Please come with me!" Master Wang was naturally very excited. After all, this was a very powerful weapon he commanded and created with his own command! Although it was not designed by him, it was enough to make him proud for a long time!

With Master Wang and Ma Jun coming to a site specially used to test dangerous things! At this time, there were already staff from the Ministry of Works to prepare the firearms to be tested one by one. This was what Ma Jun ordered when he came back from the court yesterday!

Zhao Feng nodded: "Let's start!"

"Lord, we can only test firearms here. As for artillery, we need to go out of the city to test!" Ma Jun said.

"Yeah!" Zhao Feng nodded. He still understood this. If the power was qualified, a cannon would be enough to blow up the entire work department!

"Start the test!" With Ma Jun's order, five staff members from the Work Department raised five guns and aimed at their respective targets.

"Start!" Ma Jun ordered again.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

After five consecutive sounds, I saw the five targets about fifty steps apart and burst out the power of the bullets!

"Okay!" Zhao Feng nodded. With such power, even if the range of this musket is only 50 steps, it is enough!

"How long is the range of this musket?" Zhao Feng asked.

"The range is not far, at most seventy or eighty steps. If you want to aim and shoot, the farthest is just like this, fifty steps!" said Master Wang.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng was very surprised. You should know that the effective range of pistols in later generations is only 50 meters. Although the actual range is 2,300 meters, that is, within 2,300 meters, you can kill people normally, but if you want to kill people at a high hit rate, it is only 50 meters!

If the musket in front of you is as Master Wang said, the effective range is more than fifty or even sixty meters! The actual range is nearly one hundred meters, which is no different from the pistols in later generations. Although the power is a little worse, it is enough to invest in the current war!

"Yes, can such powerful muskets be mass-produced?" Zhao Feng nodded and said with great satisfaction.

"Mass production is OK, but it cannot be too fast. It can produce more than a hundred pieces in a month!" Master Wang said after an estimate.

"Expand production and add a few more assembly lines!" Zhao Feng said, "Strive to build 3,000 to 5,000 muskets for me within two years!"

Zhao Feng also understood that it seems impossible for current technology to speed up production, but he still hopes to get enough of a musket army when he will go to Kushan next time!

"Yes! I understand!" Master Wang nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, the progress here is pretty good. Let's go and see the cannon!" Zhao Feng said.

"Please wait, I'll have someone prepare!" said Master Wang.

"Well, go, I'll wait in your office!" As he said that, Zhao Feng turned around and left the test site.

...

"How is the lord still satisfied?" Ma Jun didn't hear what Zhao Feng said clearly when he was busy testing the question before, so just now Zhao Feng left, he ran to ask Master Wang.

"What do you think?" Master Wang looked at Ma Jun with a smile, and then said to the assistant next to him, "You guys hurry up and prepare for the artillery test, the lord is waiting!"

"Yes!" The assistants nodded and hurriedly left.

"No, Lao Wang, what do you mean?" Seeing Master Wang's behavior, Ma Jun was a little confused.

"Hahaha!" Master Wang laughed proudly, "Of course I'm satisfied, but we probably have to work overtime often in the past two years! My lord has assigned us a big task!"

"What mission? How many muskets do you need to build?" Ma Jun naturally knew what Zhao Feng's mission was, and it must be related to this musket!

"This number!" Master Wang stretched out a slap.

"Five hundred?" Ma Jun asked in confusion. But he was thinking in his heart that there seemed to be not many of these five hundred!

"What five hundred! Five thousand!" Master Wang cursed with a smile, "Hurry up, arrange it later, add five assembly lines, and make sure to create five thousand muskets for me within two years! Of course, while accelerating, you must also ensure quality!"

"Five...5,000?" Ma Jun was shocked.

"That's right, it's only five thousand! Don't worry about this problem, hurry up, the lord is still waiting for the cannon test! The cannon may also be produced at that time!" said Master Wang.

"Okay, it seems that the next two years will be busy!" Ma Jun nodded helplessly, but he was not bored at all, because he couldn't rest! No matter what, as long as he had something to do, it would be much better than letting him stay idle!

"Okay, don't say that these useless things, I know you have the same temperament as me, the old man, and you can't be idle!" Master Wang smiled and said.

The two also left the test site, waiting for the assistants to prepare for the artillery test outside the city!

Finally, after waiting for nearly half an hour, an assistant finally came to report that it was ready outside the city and Zhao Feng could go there at any time!

"Let's go now! Let's talk about these things when you come back!" Zhao Feng put down his pen. He was explaining something to Master Wang and Ma Jun just now.

"Yes!" The two nodded and followed Zhao Feng away from the Ministry of Works.

The three of them rode in the same carriage. Although they did not dare to be in the same carriage as Zhao Feng, Zhao Feng still ordered them to get on the car! Go to the test site on the outskirts of the city!
