The situation is very urgent now, because the subsequent war may involve thermal weapons, not only the Chinese army has muskets. I think Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce (Sun Quan was not in power at this time, so his brother Sun Ce was represented by his brother Sun Ce.) may have mastered the musket technology with the help of people such as Heilong. Yang Xiaomei had spoken before, and they had already appeared in their musket technology. He said that, I don’t know what the so-called muskets look like. A few years ago, he had asked Wang Zongwei to start researching new types of guns, with muskets as the basis, so the progress of research on this gun was much faster.

When the next two armies fight, it may be a war of artillery fire. At that time, it depends on who has more advanced weapons and whose combat power is stronger.

Qing Cang's order was conveyed and it was soon implemented. When the five minutes arrived, Wang Zongwei and Bai Ye rushed to the meeting hall.

Both of them have their own research institutes, Wang Zongwei's Weapons Research Institute, and Bai Ye's Mechanical Research Institute. The two have different directions, but they also have intersections.

Speaking of the two people's research institutes, a large number of talents emerged, relying on Qing Cang's six years of intensive education, teaching all novel and useful things for military purposes. Especially for mechanized courses, Qing Cang put in a lot of effort in exchange for a large number of books in order to cultivate more powerful intellectuals. These intellectuals were selected by one person, and they only obeyed one person, that is Qing Cang, and no temptation could shake these people. Because they were all loyal and righteous people selected thousands of times.

"Commander, are you asking us for something?"

Wang Zongwei said.

"Yes, Minister Wang, come first."

"yes!"

Qing Cang asked:

"How is your research progress on the upgrade of the musket?"

"Based on the information you have improved, our manufacturing level can produce the prototype of a bullet, but the size of this bullet is still a bit huge, and we are heading towards a more refined direction."

The flintlock rifle is a device that ignites black gunpowder and produces air waves to push out the filler at high speed. It belongs to the category of the bore gun. The warhead, propulsion gunpowder and primer are separated. The disadvantage of this kind of gun is very big. One of the biggest disadvantages is that it cannot be fired continuously. Every time the gun is fired, it must be filled with gunpowder, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

The bullet is the product of the breech gun. It combines the warhead, propelling gunpowder and bottom into a bullet, and then stimulates the gun to fly out to achieve the purpose of shooting. It can produce through assembly line and form a unified standard, which will not cause fatal situations such as dull fire.

Another more important thing is that you don’t need to fill in gunpowder, just bring bullets, which also provides a lot of convenience for the design of multiple gun bodies.

Qing Cang was very satisfied after hearing this. He said, "This is indeed a few big problems. Let's talk about how to use an armored vehicle with a steam engine."

"Very good! You guys need to speed up. At the latest next month we will see a whole gun, including bullets and other items. Do you know?"

Although this is very stressful, the rough bullet has been created. If they only improve it, they will only become more and more refined.

"Please rest assured, this commander. I have asked the people from the Weapons Research Institute to work overtime these days and strive to make one in advance."

"That's thank you for your hard work."

"This is what it should be!"

Qing Cang turned his head and asked Bai Ye: "Dean Bai, how is the progress of your armored vehicle?"

The railway to the Huns had been completely built, and Bai Ye also transformed the trains, and a large number of trains were built. Qing Cang gave him a new task, which was to build armored vehicles, something very unfamiliar in ancient times.

Bai Ye said: "Return to the commander, the current armored vehicles temporarily use steam engines as power support. As for the internal combustion engine, we still have some attempts.

There are several main points: First, it is still quite difficult to extract gasoline from oil.

The second is the internal structure. We also need some small accessories, such as spark plugs, etc. These things need to be studied, but they still cannot be studied in a short period of time. Although we have invested a lot of manpower, this kind of thing takes time.

Third, it is the precision of the internal combustion engine. An internal combustion engine that is not precise enough is a dangerous existence, because it may suddenly explode one day, and all these need to be handled. According to my estimate, it will take three or five years for the internal combustion engine to be built."

He spoke very professionally, and Qing Cang nodded constantly and said yes.

He said:

"How is the armored vehicle designed using a steam engine?"

"The commander has already taken shape. It is huge in size and can drive at high speed in the plains, and some small bulges can be safely passed. In terms of firepower, it is equipped with three cannons and twenty musketeers are arranged. This armored vehicle can withstand up to thirty attacks from our cannons."

This kind of defense is already very powerful. It takes at least one minute for a cannon to complete a turn, which means that it is driving facing a cannon, and it takes nearly half an hour to completely smash it.

"Okay, you need to test its battery life, stability, etc. What we need is powerful equipment and data support for durability. If all these are passed, I want you to build a hundred units."

One hundred cannons can be placed, and this power is huge. You must know that when he went to the Huns, he only brought one thousand people, and then conquered only two hundred people in other places. They can be invincible in the world. If these three thousand people were fired together, they would be able to smash the enemy's city directly.

"Yes, I will definitely test it carefully these days and strive to start production as soon as possible."

"Well, it's very good. There is also the internal combustion engine project that needs to be followed up, don't waste it!"

"yes!"

Wang Zongwei asked at this time: "Commander, has there been a war recently?"

"Yes, so you have to take more responsibility. In less than three months, there will be a big war to fight. Before the big war, we must be prepared."

Bai Ye said: "So that's the case. We must work hard to create the best quality weapons and equipment."

"Okay, you guys go down and do your business first. If you have any questions, please come back and report them. We will try to solve the problem."

"Yes, commander, let's go down first!"

The two of them went on to arrange the research process.

Qing Cang looked at the sky and murmured: "Heilong, you want to win this time, it seems that there is no chance."

Unifying the Three Kingdoms is the ultimate goal, and the emergence of the Black Dragon has brought huge obstacles to his unification, which must be eliminated, otherwise this task cannot be done.
