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

"No fire... not even a spark... is needed to detonate gunpowder?"

"Put the ignition mechanism directly into the barrel?"

"Then you really don't have to worry about rain or misfires anymore! Every shot counts!"

"Your Majesty's ideas are truly...unconventional!"

"..."

Naturally, no one present wanted to avoid such a huge leap forward. When talking about the convenience and benefits of this so-called "needle gun", everyone had a look of longing on their faces.

There are better things and equipment to use.

Who the hell isn't happy?

But soon someone realized the biggest problem here.

Someone immediately put away the longing on their face, and turned it into hesitation, as if they were about to say something but stopped themselves: "It's just..."

Highly sensitive material that can catch fire at the slightest touch...that sounds good.

But first it has to have wow!

But at least... everyone present had never heard of the existence of such a thing.

Some, hampered by Zhu Yunhuan's status as the emperor, were hesitant to voice their doubts too openly. However, some had clearly grown bolder, and soon someone continued, "This kind of material... is probably hard to find. To be honest with Your Majesty, I've never even heard of anything like this."

Someone said it out loud, and everyone else secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Without ingredients, even the best cook cannot cook without rice.

And this time.

But some people are already a little bit dizzy.

He laughed and said indifferently, "You can't do anything, but who knows, His Majesty can. We have never seen such a material before, a hemp rope that can burn forever, haven't we seen it before?"

"If these words come from other people, they're just bullshit. But if they come from your Majesty... then nothing is impossible!"

This sounds.

It's a bit of a flattery.

Or rather, he actually felt so, so he was clever and flattered the emperor, because it would be a waste not to flatter him - that was the current emperor, the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he had a bright future ahead of him!

Hearing these flatteries.

However, most people did not follow the crowd and join in the commotion and flattery. Some people showed a bit of contempt and ambiguous hesitation on their faces.

It’s not that they don’t want to improve, but…

"Ha! While that's not entirely unreasonable, and His Majesty is indeed exceptionally intelligent and resourceful, and has produced something we've never seen before, this so-called 'sparkling' is something we've never heard of or seen before. If His Majesty is still only imagining it..."

"Aren't you just putting him on the fire? When the time comes, you'll have said all the words for His Majesty, and it will be His Majesty who will be embarrassed!"

This kind of thing could be fatal if you're not careful, but many people can still tell the difference.

In the end, everyone's attention fell back on Zhu Yunhuan.

On the one hand, they were curious and eager to see if His Majesty could really produce the "miracle material" he had mentioned. On the other hand, they also wanted to see how this eager and eager person would end up if His Majesty failed to produce such a thing.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Zhu Yunhuan's eyes flickered for the first time, he touched his nose, and showed some hesitation.

Of course he knew that such material existed.

Perhaps he is currently unable to produce advanced primer materials such as lead azide, lead styphnate... or even lead-free firing powder.

But fulminate of mercury is the most basic primer material for striker guns.

It is still possible.

However... the project of "making fulminate of mercury" is still in the R&D and testing stage at the Alchemy Department. Given the current knowledge and accomplishments of the Alchemy Department's hardworking staff, it's only a matter of time before they figure it out...

But now, I haven’t figured it out yet.

But in Zhu Yunhuan's view, he thought that this was already in his pocket. He was so engrossed in the lecture just now that he forgot about it for a moment and just threw it out all at once.
