The First Tyrant of Daxia

"Not bad!"

Qin Yun clapped his hands and said, "Jinzhu, this new type of grenade you developed is really powerful. If it is used on the battlefield, it will definitely kill a large number of enemy troops. You have added another powerful weapon to our Great Xia!"

"Rewards! There are rewards for many!"

Jin Zhu said quickly: "Your Majesty, when we were in Daxia, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already rewarded this old minister."

What he meant was that there was no need for further rewards, nothing else.

But in the eyes of the emperor, the most taboo thing is to interfere in other people's affairs.

Although Qin Rui is the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, he is temporarily in charge of the government.

However, for such a big thing, if Qin Rui gave out rewards privately, it would inevitably arouse suspicion of forming a clique for personal gain and winning over ministers in the court.

Jin Zhu was once the patriarch of a small clan. Even when he worked for Qin Yun, he spent most of his time in the Firearms Research Institute, so he didn't know much about the things happening in the court.

When he said this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Ping Jianlou even gestured towards Jinzhu frequently.

Qin Yun was not angry, but laughed and said, "Not bad, rewarding merits and punishing faults, Rui'er did a great job."

This was not some imperial cunning, and Qin Yun was indeed not angry.

His demeanor comes from strength and trust.

Qin Yun believed in Qin Rui, or rather, believed in his own son.

Even if Qin Rui really had some intentions, Qin Yun was not afraid. He could just beat that bastard and make him flee in panic.

Seeing that Qin Yun was not angry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor's wrath is difficult to fathom.

Qin Yun asked: "Does this new type of grenade have a name?"

Jin Zhu shook his head quickly: "I originally planned to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give it a name, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted that His Majesty name it, so the new grenade has not yet been named."

Nodding, Qin Yun said casually: "Then let's call it a high-explosive grenade."

Ping Jianlou nodded quickly: "Your Majesty's name is really concise and to the point, and it perfectly points out the characteristics of this grenade."

Jinzhu also said: "This old minister feels the same way."

Qin Yun smiled faintly. Now that he had seen the power of the high-explosive grenade, he planned to go back and rest.

Jinzhu said, "Your Majesty, I actually brought a musket with me this time."

"Ok?"

Hearing Jin Zhu's words, Qin Yun frowned and said, "Didn't you just say that the musket has not been made yet?"

"It is true that we have not yet made a qualified musket." Jinzhu nodded, "but some experimental products have achieved some results."

"The musket that I brought here this time is the best quality and most powerful among this batch of test items."

"The reason why I brought the musket here is that I want Your Majesty to see its power and give you some pointers."

After all, the idea of ​​the musket was first proposed by Qin Yun. Jin Zhu had not made any significant breakthroughs in his research on the musket, and he was very anxious, so he thought of bringing it here for Qin Yun to take a look and see if he could find out the problem.

"Is that so..." Qin Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Take it out and let me see it."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Jinzhu quickly asked someone to bring a wooden box from the box.

This wooden box is in the shape of a long strip, about one meter long and half a meter wide.

The box is not important, it's what's inside the box that matters.

Qin Yun was also somewhat expectant at this moment. Although it was just a test product of a musket, it was still a musket, representing another era.

The box slowly opened, and a pitch-black musket appeared in front of Qin Yun. The barrel occupied two-thirds of the entire length of the gun, and the handle was bent like a hunchbacked old man.

This is the musket developed by Jinzhu, also known as the flintlock rifle.

According to the idea given by Qin Yun, this flintlock rifle relies on the impact of the flint inside to produce sparks, which ignite the gunpowder inside to achieve the effect of shooting.

Qin Yun took the flintlock rifle in his hand. The first feeling he had was its heaviness. It felt like the rifle weighed forty or fifty kilograms.

However, Qin Yun was very strong, so he didn't feel much of a weight holding a flintlock rifle of this weight in his hand.

But if it were an ordinary soldier, his arms would definitely become sore after not holding it for long.

It was too heavy for ordinary soldiers.

"A little heavy."

Qin Yun frowned.

Jinzhu quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is already the lightest weight we can make. If we continue to reduce the weight, the quality of the musket cannot be guaranteed and it will easily explode."

"Are there no skilled craftsmen in Daxia?" Qin Yun asked dissatisfiedly.

Jinzhu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the skilled craftsmen of Daxia made. This is already their limit."

Qin Yun shook his head helplessly: "Let me try the power of this flintlock first."

When Jin Zhu heard that Qin Yun wanted to test the gun himself, he quickly dissuaded him, "Your Majesty, this cannot be done! This musket is a test piece, and the chamber pressure is very unstable. If it is not handled properly, it will explode, and the power of a chamber explosion is very strong!"

"For your Majesty's sake, let Master Ping Jianlou try it?"

Ping Jian Lou: “?”

What words is this?

Your Majesty is easily hurt, so why can't I be hurt?

Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I won't get hurt."

With his current skills, he only needs to wear armor and react quickly enough to avoid being injured by the explosion.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Jinzhu knelt on the ground with sweat all over his forehead.

If Qin Yun was really injured by the explosion of the flintlock rifle, he would be doomed to die.

Ping Jianlou also knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, please let me test you! The dragon's body must not be injured!"

Qin Yun said angrily: "I have already said that I will not be hurt, what are you doing?"

This was the first time Qin Yun came into contact with a flintlock rifle in this world, so naturally he wanted to give it a try.

And of course he was confident that he would not be injured by the explosion of the flintlock. He was not a fool, not stupid enough to play with his own life.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Qin Yun, Jin Zhu had to look at Old Feng, whose presence was not very noticeable behind Qin Yun.

As Qin Yun's former shadow guard, Mr. Feng doesn't need to have a very high presence, as long as he is strong enough.

If there is anyone in the test field who can persuade Qin Yun now, in Jinzhu's opinion, it is only Old Feng.

But Elder Feng said calmly, "It's okay. I believe your Majesty."

Qin Yun glared at the two of them in dissatisfaction, "Go get the armor."

"It's your Majesty!"

Knowing that Qin Yun had made up his mind, Jinzhu and Hepingjianlou did not dare to dissuade him any further.

Jinzhu then took out a suit of armor specially used for testing, which could effectively protect against the powerful force generated by the explosion.

Of course, this effectiveness is only relative.

The force of the flintlock explosion once kept Jinzhu bedridden for several months.

After Qin Yun put on his armor, he loaded gunpowder into the flintlock and aimed the barrel at a tree about a hundred meters away.
