Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Caught off guard, almost everyone did the same thing: lowered their heads, shrunk their necks, backed away, and covered their heads with their hands.

They were all very familiar with the sound of explosions.

Dealing with firearms and bowl-mouth guns for many years, they are always prepared to give their lives to them. This action has long become a habit engraved in their flesh and blood.

It took a moment for everyone to react.

I am staying in this sturdy big house, and there is no one here operating or using muskets or bowl-mouth guns.

Only then did they put down their hands and straighten up again.

Their eyes also fell on the young emperor in front of them who was wearing a crescent-shaped white silk shirt. The other party still looked calm and composed, as if he was already accustomed to the sound of the explosion.

At the same time, the emotions that subconsciously appeared in everyone's eyes were relief, happiness, and even more so, gratitude and respect...

Their first reaction when they heard the explosion was simply that they were worried that the muskets and bowl-mouth guns would explode, and they were afraid for their own lives.

Even though they are all ruthless people who are not afraid of death, isn't it better to live a miserable life than to die?

And now they know.

Even though the explosion of the barrel cannot be completely avoided in the future, there are already effective means to greatly reduce this risk - and this is entirely because of the young man in front of him, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

They did not forget the determined look in His Majesty's eyes a moment ago.

His Majesty truly regarded their lives as if they were his own. He said, "The lives of the men of the Ming Dynasty are all precious!" — And these words… at this moment seemed particularly profound and weighty, and they were particularly remembered by everyone.

After their gratitude and excitement towards the young emperor in front of them faded away, everyone looked around curiously, their eyes lingering outside the windows of the classroom, and they were a little confused by the sound of the explosion.

Because in the eyes of these "experts".

I always feel that this explosion is a bit strange and unusual:

"What... happened?"

"Isn't there someone in the Alchemy Department who uses a large gun?"

"Wow! That was a loud noise! ​​It was louder than any other time we've used our muskets or blunderbusses!"

"It's just that... judging from the noise just now, it should have happened nearby, right? How come there's such a loud noise, but no smoke outside the window? This is really strange."

"..."

Amidst the discussion, Zhu Yunhuan calmly knocked on the table, instantly drawing everyone's attention back. "Regarding the improvement of the gunpowder formula, the Alchemy Department has a dedicated person in charge."

"The principles behind this are complex and cannot be explained in a few words. Since you are solely responsible for using it, I will not waste my time and energy elaborating on it here."

Zhu Yunhuan gave a brief and concise explanation of the explosion.

Speaking of which, when the Alchemy Bureau was first established, it was Zhu Yunhuan who started with the research and improvement of gunpowder. Then Zhu Yunhuan simply transferred some basic chemical knowledge systematically and trained this group of highly practical cattle and horses.

When it comes to improving firearms, the top students of the Alchemy Department are responsible for overcoming technical difficulties. After all, if you talk to a group of roughnecks about nitrates, elements, reactions... etc., eleven out of ten of them will be confused.

Therefore, Zhu Yunhuan had never mentioned the issue of "improvement of gunpowder formula" before.

These firearms manufacturers and combat personnel who are proficient in firearms do not need to know the principles. They only need to be responsible for putting the improved products of the Alchemy Department into practical application and making structural improvements to guns and artillery based on his theories.

Cooperating with each other is just the right way to make the best use of people's abilities, so that everyone can bring out their best strengths and greatest value.
