Zhao Huan was ups and downs about Jiaozi, but at his pace, he shouldn't be focusing too much on Jiaozi now.

Although Zhao Huan is very robbed, he is furious when he starts to be angry, and seems to be very reckless in doing things, but he definitely has his own plans.

At least he always has a main line in his heart and will not let other things lead his main line off.

He has given Seo Churen and Shao Chengzhang ten days. If it is not completed, he will really give these two people a blood sacrifice!

He will not go to ask about these ten days, and he will directly ask for results.

Now, he has some very important things to pay attention to.

No matter how turmoil is in the Song Dynasty, he can control it, no matter how Jiaozhi jumps, he can suppress it, and no matter how difficult the shipping is, he can go out.

Only the war in the north was always like a sharp sword hanging over Zhao Huan's head.

Jin Kingdom, Dangxiang, and Yelu Dashi.

This is not accurate, it should be said that it is the nomadic people in the north.

Since thousands of years ago, the nomadic peoples around China have always been a big trouble for China.

When you meet an emperor as strong as the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, you can push them outside and beat them up in minutes.

But if China has a little problem, they will take advantage of the situation.

The Western Rong came to the Huns, and the Huns destroyed the Five Barbarians. After the Five Barbarians disappeared in the great waves of history, the Turks came again, and after the Turks were Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia...

In short, there are endless kills.

Zhao Huan was sure that there would be wars in the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty soon.

The current peace is nothing more than the two sides reaching an agreement on certain interests.

When the Song Dynasty became increasingly powerful, the powerful Jin Kingdom would not sit still and threaten itself. Once the balance of the situation was broken, let alone Wanyan Gao, even Wanyan Zongpan would firmly take the initiative to fight.

So, Zhao Huan now needs to speed up making the Song Dynasty truly powerful.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be a lasting way to rely on people all the time.

It can be said that when the Song Dynasty is still accumulating its strength, it is necessary to ensure peace in the northern border, and not take the initiative to attack, but it cannot allow others to attack home to disrupt his strategic planning.

Although Yan Yun deployed heavy troops and although the Jin Dynasty was curbed by Wanyan Zongpan, it could not guarantee absolute safety.

When two superpowers compete for hegemony, they will use any means. There is no so-called abiding by agreements, no so-called propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, only life and death!

After leaving the Song Bank, the emperor turned around and arrived at the Military Weapons Prison.

Li Gang, Zhong Shidao, and Zhang Shuye were already waiting there.

One of the important ones in military and political reform is the reform of military equipment. It is impossible for thermal weapons to be developed so quickly. Zhao Huan did not expect that military weapons could produce muskets and other things now.

At least in recent years, I just used cold weapons such as knives and others to do it directly.

It can only be strengthened on the original basis.

When the emperor arrived at the Military Arts Prison, not only were the big men from the Western Palace, but also Ling Zhen and Chen Gui from the Military Arts Prison, Han Gonglian from the Academy of Sciences also came, and another person also came.

This person is named Sima Qi, who is from the Academy of Sciences. Zhao Huan has an impression. When Qin Hui introduced him, he said that he was a master of sword casting among the people. His ancestors had the ancient method of sword casting passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

This ancient method has been perfected for thousands of years and its skills have become very superb.

Now the military weapon surveillance is independent, and the emperor has given it to Chen Gui to take charge.

However, military weapons supervision is closely related to the Academy of Sciences. Sima Qi from the Academy of Sciences received the task of developing a new steel that needed to be made into a body of a raid musket.

In fact, steelmaking made great progress in the Song Dynasty.

In the Song Dynasty, there were different types of iron-melting furnaces and wooden bellows.

The "moving furnace" recorded in "The General Yao of Wu Jing" is connected by a square iron furnace and a trapezoidal wooden bellows, and there is an iron furnace that can be lifted by a wooden frame.

The iron melting furnace has developed from fixed to mobile, which is not only conducive to popularization and application, but also developed into a weapon to defend the city.

More importantly, the invention of the reciprocating bellows has greatly improved the air blowing efficiency.

However, the steelmaking in the Song Dynasty still did not meet Zhao Huan's requirements.

There is no need to say much about the importance of steel, especially in the thermal weapons strategic blueprint planned by Zhao Huan, which is the lowest material.

There is a record in Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bitan": "The so-called steel is used to bend it with soft iron, and then it is trapped with pig iron, sealed and refined, and forged it to enter it. It is called round steel, also called filling steel."

Soft steel is called cooked iron, which is called filling steel, which means that pig iron juice is poured into cooked iron blocks during the production process.

Before the invention of the melt steelmaking method, this semi-fluid steelmaking method was the fastest and simplest, and it greatly increased the production efficiency compared to the 100 steelmaking method.

Everyone welcomed the sage at the gate of the military weapon supervisor.

Zhao Huan got off the imperial guards and looked very happy when he saw these people. The atmosphere on the scene was harmonious.

But they didn't know that the emperor had just gotten angry before he came.

The Military Arts Supervision and the Academy of Sciences can be said to be the flesh of Zhao Huan. In any case, the emperor would show off his face to these people, and would also invite banquets and rewards from time to time.

Surrounded by everyone, the emperor walked into the military weapon surveillance. While strode in, the emperor whispered loudly: "Sima Qi! Chen Ruo!"

"I'm here!"

"I have a very important task to you, which is related to the fate of the country in the future of the Song Dynasty, and must be completed!"

When Sima Qi and Chen Gui heard this, Alexander suddenly felt in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I will go through fire and water, and I will never refuse!"

Everyone was curious and didn't know what new things the emperor was going to come up with.

After the emperor walked in, Wang Kui'an prepared his pen and ink.

Zhao Huan drew something on white paper, but Zhao Huan has been ugly since he was a child, but now he has written even more uglier.

Fortunately, the general outline still came out. Everyone came over and looked at it, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

But from this picture, some people guessed what the emperor wanted.

Because this thing is a combination of handmade crossbow and storm!

What an ugly painting!

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, but no one dared to say it unless they didn't want to live anymore.

At that time, the maximum range of the rifle gun was only 300 meters, and the effective range was only 100 meters, which could not kill anyone.

But Zhao Huan was a liberal arts student in his previous life. Not to mention steelmaking, he didn’t even know the principle of guns.

But now he wanted to create these things, so he could only draw the shape and then tell the experts here: I want this, it is used to kill people.

How to kill someone?

Wang Kuian, who was on the side, brought the crossbow, and the emperor said with it: "Change the crossbow into the way I want, and make it out of steel. What is fired is an iron bullet half the size of a little finger."

Everyone was confused. The emperor's idea was really novel, and everyone looked at each other.

But Chen Gui, who invented the rifle, frowned and pondered. The thing the emperor drew was an upgraded version of his rifle!

Zhao Huan continued, "Don't ask me how this thing was made. I don't know, so I came to you."

Damn! There are really ten thousand grass and mud horses running in everyone's hearts.

You have drawn it, you won't?

Could it be that the gods told you about this thing by tying a dream?

Since the emperor admitted with confidence that he could not do it, what else can everyone say?

Sima Qi and Chen Gui agreed on the spot.

After expressing his opinion, the scientist boss Han Gonglian must give him what kind of support he should give him.

Although I don’t know, I have money and I have someone. I can give you whatever you want. So good, I want this thing!

In fact, the emperor's focus this time was not on firearms, but on inspecting all the weapons now.

Update and replace the arms of the new army and the border army as soon as possible.
