Chapter 901 Mr. Gongshu comes out
This year, Gu Qingling was particularly busy.
In addition to the marriages of the grandchildren, the matters related to the various schools of thought were enough for her. Fortunately, the Yao Family Skill Training Academy had a large number of talents, and the various schools of thought were produced by themselves. Only in just a few months did the affairs of the various schools of thought be cleared and got on track.
And at this moment, Gongshuhan finally came out of seclusion.
Gongshuhan’s feeling is: I went to study a firearm, why did the Shuxiang Academy change?
As soon as she walked out, she found that there were many strange faces on the road, and the courtyard uniforms on them were even more varied, which was surprising.
The version is still the same, but the pattern and peugeot on it look completely different.
When Gongshuhan heard the maid next to her tell her that the Shuxiang Academy is different from the past and has become a real university town for hundreds of schools of thought. Gongshuhan was shocked: "This is too fast, right? I didn't do anything, the Shuxiang Academy has changed so much."
"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. Mr. Gongshu, would you go home and rest first?"
"No, I'll go see the princess first."
"Okay, I will arrange a carriage for you?"
"good."
...
Seeing Gongshu Han again, Gu Qingling realized what she had overlooked recently.
It turned out that she forgot about Gongshuhan.
"You are out of seclusion? How are you doing? How are you studying?" Gu Qingling waved her hand and asked the people who were serving in the house to take action, and asked Gongshuhan to sit down with a smile.
After the ceremony, Gongshu Han did not be polite to Gu Qingling, and sat down and said, "It was a bit unsuccessful at the beginning, but when I got the clue later, I knew how to do it. I made several versions of the firearm mentioned by the princess, but I was not sure which version was what the princess wanted."
"No matter which version it is, as long as it has a stronger power than a crossbow, it is a good gun. Are you putting it in a secret base? Is it convenient to go there now?" Gu Qingling couldn't wait to see the Ming version of the firearm.
Seeing her expectation, Gongshuhan felt that the hard work she had done these days was worth it. Without saying a word, she brought Gu Qingling to the secret base.
As Gongshuhan said, there are several versions of the firearm.
Because the smaller the thing, the harder it is to make, Gongshuhan made a big one at the beginning—equivalent to a fort, but it was a little different from what Gu Qingling remembered.
Don't ask her where the difference is. She has never studied the turret in her previous life, so she can't explain why.
The turret was too big. Gongshuhan thought that what Gu Qingling said could be held in her hands, so she improved a smaller version - the one carried on her shoulders. One person was responsible for carrying and the other person was responsible for shooting.
Gu Qingling: “…”
Is this different from the pistol I imagined?
Don’t worry, Gongshu Han has it. Even this guy is so young that he can really hold it in his hands. He can do it alone, but his martial power value has also decreased.
"I feel that this thing is not as good as a crossbow, so I'm a little hesitant. Maybe this is not what the princess wants." Gongshu Han frowned slightly, looking a little trapped.
Gu Qingling looked at her and wanted to worship: No, big guy, you're wrong, the firearm wasn't so powerful from the beginning.
You came up with three types: the turret is equivalent to a bed crossbow, and the carrying fire is equivalent to a large crossbow, which is a bit worse than the pistol, which is not the existing crossbow, but...
But this is the first time you have made something, it is the basic version. When you upgrade to a few levels in the future, will it become more and more powerful?
"No, Mr. Gongshu, you misunderstood. What you invented is really great! You are so stubborn. You are the first person to invent a firearm in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Think about the prototype of the crossbow? Bow and arrow. Is the first bow and arrow designed like this today?" Gu Qingling said excitedly, "No, no matter what, it is getting more and more powerful. The first version of the three firearms you designed is so powerful. Think about it, when you upgrade them in the future and improve them more, how terrible they will become?"
Gongshu Han was stunned for a moment.
Yes, she only thought about this thing. The big ones are not as good as the bed crossbow and the small ones are not as good as the continuous crossbow. But she forgot that this is the first version and can be improved later.
That is what the princess calls "upgrade". How can it be amazing if it is upgraded one version after another?
Gong Shuhan has seen the power of gunpowder.
What she has to do now is to put gunpowder into these things and let them play a greater role.
"Princess, you're right. I shouldn't just focus on the present, I should focus on the future. Princess, don't worry, I will improve them even more in the future."
"I trust you."
...
However, before this, Gu Qingling needed Gong Shuhan to pack up his things and show it to Emperor Mingguang first, so that Emperor Mingguang could see the power of the firearm.
Today's firearms are equivalent to reduced versions of gunpowder. When the firearms designed in the future become more and more powerful, they will open up mountains and split the ground like gunpowder.
When Emperor Mingguang heard that the firearm was made, he was also very surprised: "So quickly?"
"Hehe! Didn't you expect it? Actually, I didn't expect it either. It's mainly because Mr. Gongshu is a talented man. He has this ability. If it's a different person, it's not certain." Li Wenchong said with a smile, "Brother, do you want to go and see it with your own eyes?"
"Of course I have to go. I want to see how powerful the firearm in your mouth is, and it actually makes you admire it so much."
"You will know when the emperor goes. This is just the first version, which is equivalent to the lowest level bow and arrow. When the later version is upgraded, it will be like the bow and arrow to the continuous crossbow, and the firearm will also be upgraded to the advanced version, which will definitely scare the emperor." Li Wenchong cleverly made a prelude. Don't say it nicely then. Emperor Mingguang is not as good as a continuous crossbow when he sees it, and he feels disappointed.
Li Wenchong had never seen a firearm, and he did not quite understand the ice cold era and the division of thermal weapons in Gu Qingling's mouth. He was also looking forward to seeing the power of a firearm.
Soon, Emperor Mingguang, Li Wenchong and his group were taken to a secret camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
In the open space, Gu Qingling arranged people to set up rows of targets of varying distances early, one soldier held a crossbow, one soldier held a bow and arrow, and the other soldier held a pistol.
Gu Qingling gave the order, and the three of them shot at the same time.
"bump--"
"bump--"
"bump--"
...
10 meters, 20 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, test one by one.
Emperor Mingguang and Li Wenchong sat not far away, watching with a thousand miles of eyes. There were also many soldiers from secret camps around, and they all stretched their necks to watch the results.
Whoever is a soldier doesn’t care about the weapons in his hands?
When the crossbow was sent to them, they almost made them happy.
"Good guy, this thing is much more useful than bows and arrows. With this, I'm afraid that I won't win the battle? If I can't win, I'll come and see you!"
I was doing crossbow training before, but now another new weapon has emerged. How can I not be excited?
If the test results are good, they will definitely touch this new weapon first.
I just don't know what the result is, I hope it won't disappoint you.
The Ming Dynasty currently has ordinary bows and arrows with a range of 50-100 meters, and the sharpshooter will be closer to 80-100 meters.
The range of the crossbow is longer, reaching 150 meters, achieving continuous shooting of ten arrows.
For a bed crossbow, the range can reach 1500 meters.
