Chapter 1383: Clear Goal

The day after returning to the Imperial Palace of Heiyue City, Zhou Xu got up early in the morning and left the palace, and ran to the work area occupied by various departments in their city to inspect.

Of course, his inspection was not aimless, and it can even be said to be the opposite. His goal was clear and he turned around and came to an independent courtyard with a wooden sign hanging at the entrance of the courtyard. It says the seven big words "Gun R&D Project Team".

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a "bang" gunshot from inside, causing Zhou Xu to stop.

During this period, the two guards guarding outside the gate also noticed Zhou Xu's existence. As soon as they wanted to speak out, Zhou Xu raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't bother them with their work."

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked in.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce debate came from inside.

"Seeing it, it's like the longer the bow, the greater the power of the arrows shot and the longer the range. The longer the barrel of this gun is, the further the shooting, and the greater the power."

"No, then you have to be a little reasonable, right? The barrel of the gun is so big, it's hard to aim at a dead target just now, let alone on the battlefield, aiming at a living target, and such a long barrel, if you It's a soldier, is it easy for you to move?"

"That's also lower power, shorter range, and has no practical value, right?"

For a moment, no one in the yard could convince anyone.

In the end, the two simply threw the problem to the other person present.

"It happens, Consultant Qin, you said! Which of us said makes sense!?"

Hearing this, Qin Fenren was irritated.

[Myster, I really don’t understand the gun! Is there a way to talk about steam engines with labor and capital, but I can't talk about labor and capital to death? ! 】

Within their big week, there were already project teams responsible for the development of firearms, but there were not many team members in the project team, and they focused on developing it Buddhist first.

During this process, as one of the few modern people in the Great Zhou who had been exposed to firearms, Qin Fen took up a position as an consultant in this project team.

According to the position requirements, every time he has to come over to confirm the progress here, and if there are any problems with the project within the group, he will try his best to answer it.

In the first year, he was able to help a lot with his knowledge reserves, and at the same time, the research and development progress of this project team continued to improve.

But with the continuous research and development of the project team and combined with the actual situation, Qin Fen gradually felt that the R&D personnel in this project team were more professional than themselves in related research.

Such arguments happen every now and then within the project team. Every time they are involved in this argument, Qin Fen will feel that one head has risen to two as big as two!

For this reason, Qin Fen has been looking for Huo Qubing and Li Bowen a lot, saying that he can no longer help and wants to remove himself from his position as an advisor.

Regarding this matter, Huo Qubing and Li Bowen also said in a unified manner, "This position was arranged by Your Majesty, and we have no right to revoke it. You have to go to Your Majesty for this matter. ’

However, Your Majesty is not in Black Moon City at all!

What a dead guy, it's a vicious cycle!

At this moment, just as Qin Fen was having a headache about how to deal with it, a figure that caught his eyes from the corner of his eyes made his eyes lit up instantly.

"His Majesty!?"

Zhou Xu entered the city in a low-key manner yesterday, and after entering the city, he went back to the palace directly. He had not held a court meeting yet. Except for a very small number of officials, including Huo Qubing and Li Bowen, there were basically few who knew that he had returned.

Qin Fen suddenly saw Zhou Xu's figure, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared on his face.

During this period, when he heard the 'Your Majesty', the two project team members who were arguing in the yard were shocked and hurriedly turned around and saluted.

"We will meet your Majesty!"

"Everyone is free from gifts."

While signaling everyone to exempt them from gifts, Zhou Xu's gaze suddenly fell on the object in the other party's hand.

Noticed his Majesty's sight, the project team member hurriedly presented the objects in his hands.

"Please look at it, this is the latest research result of our project team."

From then on, I can only say that what was made is indeed like a gun.

This barrel is a bit too long...

After taking the rifle, Zhou Xu's eyes kept looking up along the barrel.

Although Zhou Xu had roughly had a guess in his mind when he listened to their arguments before, when he really saw this rifle, he looked at the rifle that included the barrel, which was almost as tall as his. Zhou Xu still felt outrageous.

"Your Majesty, you don't know..."

Perhaps seeing Zhou Xu's speechlessness, the R&D staff couldn't help but laugh twice, and then told the theory that the longer the barrel of his set of guns, the longer the range, and the greater the power.

Zhou Xu did not express doubts about this set of statements.

Although he didn't know much about guns, he could basically confirm from the conversation he just heard that this set of statements had been verified by them.

And it is precisely because of the verified that this statement can stand firmly, and no one can say anything about it.

Without further ado, Zhou Xu directly set up the rifle and made a aim and shooting position towards the target in the distance.

There is no intention of actually shooting, he just made a simple gesture.

With this gesture, the problem of this gun was immediately exposed.

"No, the barrel is too long. The entire center of gravity is on the end of the barrel, which keeps falling down. It is not convenient to use. At the same time, once the gun is fired, the barrel will be thrown up under the influence of recoil. It may also accidentally injure comrades nearby."

Hearing this, the R&D personnel who objected to this modification suddenly became confident.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

While speaking, the R&D personnel ran into the house and took out another rifle and presented it to Zhou Xu.

"Your Majesty, please look at this."

Looking at this rifle, it can only be said that compared with the one with a long barrel, this one is more in line with his impression of the gun.

"This one is good, much more convenient, did you make it?"

Zhou Xu took it in his hand and gestured as usual. At least the feel after using it was obviously better than the previous one.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Faced with the praise of their Majesty, the R&D personnel who presented the second rifle was immediately flattered, which made another R&D personnel next to him depressed, and at the same time he couldn't help but emphasize again...

"But Your Majesty, the range and power of the gun in your hand are not as good as this one."

In response, Zhou Xu just glanced at the other party indifferently.

"Then, on the premise of ensuring that the design is reasonable and easy to use, improve the range and power of the firearms. This is the problem you need to overcome, instead of simply increasing the range and power through stupid methods such as piling up the barrel length."
