The resistance of this water may not be felt when the speed is low, but once it reaches a certain speed, it will be quite large.

Therefore, the shape of the Dragon Battleship must be made into a bushelm to minimize water resistance.

The same goes for hot air balloons. There is actually resistance in the air and you can't feel it at low speeds.

However, once a certain speed is reached, the resistance of the air will become quite large.

Therefore, the hot air balloon must also be made into a bushelm shape to minimize the air resistance.

The same is true for this bullet. The speed of the bullet can be faster than that of hot air balloons or even dragon warships, and the air resistance it encounters must be greater.

Therefore, it is wrong to make a circle, and changing it to a bushelm will definitely fly further."

After hearing this, Dai Zi felt it carefully for a while, then nodded repeatedly and said, "Students understand."

Well, this kid is indeed talented.

Such an abstract thing can be understood at first glance.

Taichang nodded slightly, then pointed to the bottom of the bullet and said, "And here, it is not really advisable to use the lead to ignite the gunpowder in the shell.

If we can load the bottom of the bullet with something that will catch fire with a hit, we can make the bullet completely closed.

In this way, neither musket nor cannons are afraid of water.

Even on rainy days, even if the barrel and gun barrel enter water, you can still open fire."

This idea is so good.

Dai Zi couldn't help but say excitedly: "Master, students heard that saltpeter would explode if it was hit hard. Perhaps, we can change the ingredients of the gunpowder or directly change it to saltpeter powder."

Well, it is very dangerous to try to make new gunpowder, especially gunpowder that will explode when hit.

Taichang nodded solemnly and said, "You can try this, but be careful. The explosion is not a joke. If you are not careful, you will die."

Dai Zi nodded quickly and said, "Students understand, students will be careful."

Next is the problem of retracting the bullet shell, that is, after one bullet is shot out, how to withdraw the remaining bullet shell and let the next bullet enter the chamber.

Taichang and Dai Zi discussed for a while, and Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua had already come together.

After the monarch and his ministers met, Taichang smiled and introduced: "Wen Kai, this is the author of "Military Weapon Pictures", Lord Bi Maokang, and Lord Sun Yuanhua, the Minister of Works of the Ministry of Weapons Research Institute."

As for Dai Zi, there is no need to introduce it, because Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua both knew that he came back to find Dai Zi.

Dai Zi heard this and bowed excitedly: "Mr. Bi, the students are fortunate to read your "Military Arts and Diagrams", thus setting the ambition to improve muskets. It is a blessing for students to be able to do what they are today!"

Uh, this one.

Bi Maokang was a little confused. He really didn't expect that Dai Zi was influenced by him to develop the musket.

He smiled awkwardly, and then said warmly: "I actually want to improve the musket, but I have no time to do anything.

I have carefully read your answer sheet, and your talent is indeed very good.

Such a good talent cannot be wasted. I believe you understand the principle that you are good at work and diligently and playful. Remember not to slack off. Your achievements will be above me in the future."

Dai Zi hurriedly bowed and said, "Students have received teachings, thank you Lord Bi."

Immediately afterwards, he bowed to Sun Yuanhua and said, "Mr. Sun, your student has also read "Shen Ji Fa Yao". If possible, please give me more advice. The students are also quite interested in artillery."

This kid is not bad, he is well-versed in human relationships and worldly styles.

What is even more rare is that he not only has outstanding talent, but also has a strong interest in muskets and cannons.

Sometimes, a person’s talent is not the most important thing, but interests and hobbies are the most important.

No matter how good your talent is, it is useless if you are not interested in things related to your talent.

This kid is a good seedling and deserves some training.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but smile and said, "Meng Hou, Chuyang, now you have one successor."

You must teach well and cultivate a firearm expert for the Ming Dynasty."
