Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Zhu Yunhuan ignored Fu Youwen.

The words fell.

He looked at the eyes in the field, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes revealed an ambiguous determination, excitement, and eagerness to try!

Definitely, no matter how crude and low the level of firearms in this era is, when he comes, he must gradually materialize the things accumulated and iterated over hundreds of years into this era!

He was excited because he knew that this time, Ming Dynasty, China, and Han land would take these crucial steps ahead of time under his feet!

Take the great China for hundreds more years in one breath.

How can one not be excited and eager to try?

Zhu Yunhuan stared intently at the muskets and bowl-mouth guns in the field, which looked very crude to him. He was silent for a few breaths, and then his eyelashes trembled slightly. He withdrew his thoughts and mind that had strayed a little far, and also withdrew his gaze.

Focus on the present.

"Look at the expressions they had after firing their muskets. They were obviously afraid of the gun exploding."

"There's another point Fu Youwen didn't mention just now. Various factors, such as unstable gunpowder dosage, moisture... can not only cause misfires, but also barrel explosions. The more times a musket is used, the greater the risk of explosion."

"Fortunately, the problem of stable steel production using the converter steelmaking method has been solved. If there is a future need, we can even have the Alchemy Department conduct in-depth research on steels of varying strengths and toughnesses to suit different application scenarios."

Zhu Yunhuan was secretly thinking in his heart...

"So the next thing we need to consider solving is... the misfire rate issue."

"The gunpowder they just filled in was all in powder form... I remember... 15th-century European matchlock muskets had a slightly lower misfire rate because they used more sophisticated forging techniques and granular gunpowder."

"Not bad... granular gunpowder..."

"I'll ask the Alchemy Department to find a way to improve it later."

Zhu Yunhuan immediately had an idea.

I also secretly made note of this in my heart.

After the actual inspection and viewing, he not only understood the current level of firearms, but more importantly... he experienced the difficulties and shortcomings firsthand. This way, he could better think of ways to improve them and pass them on to his subordinates so that they could better meet the needs of him, the "client".

"Besides the gunpowder's storage condition, Fu Youwen just mentioned... the amount of gunpowder loaded depends on the user's experience. Therefore, the thrust generated is also entirely based on experience and difficult to control."

"Hmm... standardization."

"The standardization of gunpowder usage needs to be improved. There must be a quantitative standard for how much gunpowder to use at a time."

"By packaging gunpowder in standard portions, the user of the musket could simply add the pre-measured amount of gunpowder to increase stability. This is what Europeans did further back in history."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded to himself.

He secretly noted this detail in his mind and planned to arrange for someone to start implementing this matter when he got back.

Then, with a hint of disappointment, he secretly complained in his heart, "Making guns is indeed a delicate job. There are countless details to consider. It's really not like those novels I read in my previous life, where you can just casually make them with your hands."

While thinking.

Seeing that Zhu Yunhuan didn't say anything more, Fu Youwen felt relieved and asked his subordinates to continue with the so-called "quality inspection and spot check process" and carry out the second round of launch.

The people on the field used tools to pick out the residue from the musket barrel.

After cleaning the tube walls, he began to repeat the previous steps: filling the powdered gunpowder, compacting it with a wooden rod, filling it with iron balls, compacting it again, inserting the fuse, striking the lighter, igniting, and shooting...
