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

High-quality iron makes for stronger gun barrels, stable gunpowder combustion, further improved gunpowder, and the ability to ignite at will...

Not to mention that all these drawbacks and pain points have their own methods and inspirations for improvement... If there is any possibility of improvement in any of them, those who suffer from it will definitely study it thoroughly before they can finish it.

At this time, Zhu Yunhuan had almost come up with comprehensive improvement measures.

Everyone here.

Naturally, they all looked eager to try.

Since everyone was speaking with more courage, someone even approached Zhu Yunhuan directly, saying, "Since that's the case... then... Your Majesty, can we go down and take a look at the new gunpowder, and then quickly figure out how to do what Your Majesty wants us to do?"

As soon as he said this.

The others also nodded impatiently - they really wanted to try to put those ideas into practice immediately.

Zhu Yunhuan smiled faintly and said, "Regarding the method of ignition, I just mentioned the second method. Why are you in such a hurry?"

His response strategy has always been: all-in!

Historically, the emergence of matchlock guns and flintlock guns can be regarded as huge technological advancements and great changes in their effectiveness and power.

But, let’s talk about the most epoch-making thing.

It still has to be...

Needle gun!

The emergence of needle-fighting guns is also the opportunity or foundation for the development of fixed-load guns, breech-loading guns... and even the further era of continuous firing!

Of course, the rest is a story for later.

Even for the most basic needle-percussion gun, the details and technical difficulty will soar again.

But human potential is endless.

With theoretical support and design inspiration, who knows if some ingenious and stubborn individual will emerge among this group? Perhaps seeing the possibility in Zhu Yunhuan, they will be determined to pursue it, devoting time and energy to overcoming the numerous difficulties of the times and finally achieving it?

This is a possibility, and what Zhu Yunhuan had to do was to give this possibility a start and opportunity.

Moreover, once the matchlock gun and flintlock gun were developed.

Since these people had accepted Zhu Yunhuan's ideas in advance, they would naturally think about going further.

No matter which one it is.

More possibilities will definitely not be wrong.

Admittedly, most of these people may be rough and uncouth, but they use it every day, they understand it, and they are more enthusiastic.

Just like the Industrial Revolution - those who improved those industrial products step by step were not necessarily highly educated students, but mostly the workers who worked day and night in the workshops.

Some people originally wanted to see the effect of the improved gunpowder, some wanted to put their ideas into practice... everyone's hearts were a little distracted.

But he was brought back to his senses by Zhu Yunhuan's words.

Once again, his eyes widened in disbelief:

"The second method? Only? So, Your Majesty means... not only are there two more convenient ways to ignite, but there is also a third method?"

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Zhu Yunhuan, burning like fire.

The first two methods are already considered subversive, but with their experience and knowledge, they know that they are feasible to a certain extent. Naturally, they would not think that the "third" method implied by Zhu Yunhuan would be false.

With the first two examples as examples, they were really curious about what other fantastic ideas this young emperor could come up with...

"It's hard to say, Your Majesty! Let's listen!"

Some people were so impatient that they boldly urged Zhu Yunhuan to come, and the others also quieted down.

Enthusiasm and enthusiasm are good things. This is what Zhu Yunhuan wants to see the most. Naturally, he doesn't care about anything. Instead, he takes advantage of the silence and continues to speak:

"This third method is more detailed than the first two, and will be much more difficult to implement. However, if it can be realized, the effect will be two or three times greater than the two ignition methods I mentioned earlier!"

"Even the possibility of misfires can be greatly reduced again!"

Zhu Yunhuan first gave them another shot of chicken blood.

After all, needs and desires can generate motivation and prompt them to spend time, energy and effort in this area. Doing something aimlessly without knowing the result will definitely not be comparable to doing something with answers and known results from the beginning.

I kept it a little bit of a suspense.

Sure enough, it aroused everyone's curiosity again.

Everyone immediately gasped and sighed, "What? The effect can continue to increase? How powerful are these fire guns and bowl-mouth guns? We can't even imagine it!"

A confident smile appeared on Zhu Yunhuan's lips.

He spoke slowly, "If we could find a special, highly sensitive ignition material, we wouldn't even need an open flame to ignite it, nor would we need to strike a flint against a piece of steel to create sparks. Instead... this material would detonate on its own with just the slightest touch, igniting the gunpowder..."

"For example, use a steel needle as thick as an embroidery needle to gently tap it."

"This way, the ignition mechanism can be significantly smaller and less complicated. We can even design it inside the barrel! We won't have to worry about getting wet in the rain... What do you think?"

At this point, Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but take a deep breath and got goose bumps all over his body. Although he had been guiding this group of people, when he explained these principles and concepts from simple to difficult, he himself had a feeling... of witnessing changes again and again with his own eyes.

The biggest difference between when he knew these things before and now he is pushing them forward with his own hands.
