Chapter 968
But soon.
Everyone immediately recognized the identity of the person standing at the door...
If it’s not the current Emperor Kaiqian, then who is it?
They were still not used to the fact that an emperor would travel without even a single follower. Subconsciously, they naturally would not think that the person who appeared here quietly might be Zhu Yunhuan.
Everyone's expression changed suddenly in shock.
Or just stand there in a daze.
Or just kneel down with weak legs:
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!!?"
"I didn't realize it was Your Majesty who had arrived. This is a great disrespect and an offense to Your Majesty. I am guilty of death!"
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
"..."
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they had never even had the chance to meet in person before, let alone be scolded in such a harsh tone.
Especially Wang Jinnian, who was holding a musket and ready to take action.
At this moment, everyone was so frightened that they couldn't even hold the pistol steadily, and it fell to the ground with a "clang" - others were at most disrespectful, but his action, to put it seriously, was assassination! Nine Clans Elimination Game would not be an exaggeration.
This voice also brought Wang Jinnian back to his senses.
He knelt down with a plop, stammering incoherently, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your humble servant... Your humble servant didn't know it was Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please forgive... forgive my sins..." His voice was shaking as he spoke.
Seeing everyone trembling with fear, as if facing a great enemy, Zhu Yunhuan felt secretly helpless.
How could he not know that these people had no intention of disrespect, let alone assassination? Naturally, he wouldn't blame them. On the contrary, seeing how enthusiastically they were working on improving firearms, and how they had indeed achieved their current level in such a short time, he felt satisfied.
But that's how the times are.
With my position and identity, I naturally look down on others, and naturally, whether I am right or wrong, I am right.
He nodded and smiled nonchalantly, then raised his hand slightly. "Everyone, get up. I've said that within the Alchemy Department, you don't have to worry about these trivial matters. Doing what you should and can do is the greatest loyalty to me."
After that, he said with great interest, "I just heard that the firing force and effect of the firearms have now stabilized."
That's what he cares about most.
Before, I just listened from afar.
He was really curious about the specific level and stage it had reached.
So as he spoke, he slowly walked towards Wang Jinnian, his eyes falling on the musket that he had dropped on the ground.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Jinnian wiped his sweaty forehead and quickly picked up the musket from the ground. He raised his hands above his head and handed it to Zhu Yunhuan: "It's already loaded with gunpowder and stone bullets. Your Majesty, be careful."
Zhu Yunhuan was not someone who had only a superficial understanding of this.
Besides, the current gun barrels are made of new materials, and their pressure resistance has been greatly improved, so there is naturally nothing to be afraid of.
He took the musket directly from Wang Jinnian's hand and examined it carefully.
Compared with the muskets he had seen in the Ministry of Revenue warehouse before, in addition to the visible changes in the material, the structure of the tail of the musket has also become more complicated - there is an iron hook holding the fuse near the original trigger, and a small wrench is added to the position of the hand-held musket. The iron hook holding the fuse and the small wrench are connected by a simple linkage device.
Not only that, the position of the wrench is specially installed with something similar to a "gunstock" for easy grip. When using the musket in hand, it looks like a "T" shape, which is still far from modern firearms.
But it has a prototype scale.
This point was not proposed by Zhu Yunhuan. Even he had to figure it out bit by bit. Before, he only thought about the most important improvements, focusing only on gunpowder and ignition, and completely ignored the appearance.
It seems that when this group of people were studying the improvement of muskets, they realized that in order to make it easier to pull the trigger, they needed such a "gunstock" to assist, so they added it.
