Datang: At the beginning, I wanted to rebel against my father-in-law

Chapter 217 From Simple to Complex!

"My lord, I don't know how this brass is made..." Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, then looked at Su Feng and asked in a low voice.

Although such a price is very expensive, everyone has seen the power of the flintlock, not to mention the machine guns Su Feng used in the north.

Of course, Su Feng did not hesitate and wrote down the formula for brass on the spot. In fact, this was no different from the formula for making copper coins.

The easiest way is to melt all the existing copper coins and reuse these materials to make guns.

While doing these things, Su Feng simply asked the craftsman to melt the copper coins and use the materials to remake a flintlock gun. After all, facts speak louder than words.

With the experience of making it for the first time, it was just a change of materials, and the craftsmen quickly made another flintlock gun again.

When the second gun appeared in front of everyone, Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and others could clearly find that the appearance and quality of this gun were obviously much better than the one just now.

Su Feng personally controlled the flintlock gun, loaded it with gunpowder, and conducted experiments under everyone's gaze, repeating the same actions as Changsun Wuji had done before.

After more than a dozen tests, the flintlock gun in Su Feng's hand was safe and sound, without any abnormality at all, and there was no explosion in the chamber.

"After replacing it with materials like brass, you can deal with it easily, and you don't have to worry about it exploding in the future!" Su Feng put the gun in his hand into Changsun Wuji's hand.

This was originally a happy thing, but He Changsun Wuji's current expression was very ugly.

The problem was solved, but at the same time it brought new troubles, that is, in his opinion, it was too wasteful to use brass to make guns.

This is equivalent to directly using money to build, which is indeed a bit too wasteful!

"My lord, I don't know if I should say something or not!" Changsun Wuji put down the flintlock gun in his hand, turned to look at Su Feng and said in a low voice.

"Is there anything hard to say here?" Su Feng gave him a blank look.

When did this guy learn to be so twitchy?
"I thought that a flintlock gun made of brass was not as convenient as a bow and arrow, and the cost was too high, and it was relatively troublesome to operate!"

"If you want to spend such a big price to make this kind of gun, it's better to use bows and arrows directly. Presumably Your Majesty can understand what I mean!" When he said this, Changsun Wuji gave Li Shimin a meaningful look.

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

In fact.

From the moment Changsun Wuji spoke, Su Feng understood their intentions.

The flintlock gun is indeed expensive, and it is relatively troublesome to handle. Compared with the heavy machine guns he can produce in the north, of course there is no comparison.

They said so much, but they just wanted to call them machine guns and skip the steps in front of them, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

It's not that Su Feng doesn't want to teach them to make machine guns directly. The key is that no matter what they do, they have to go from simple to complex. The simplest things are not done. Even if they are told the method, they may not be able to make complex machine guns.

not to mention.

Making machine guns and bullets requires more brass. According to the understanding of people like Changsun Wuji, wouldn't it cost more?

"Although that is the case, flintlock guns are of course much more convenient than bows and arrows. Bows and arrows must be transported by special troops!"

"Every battle requires a lot of feather arrows. No matter in terms of manufacturing or consumption, it is actually not much cheaper than this gun!"

"The flintlock gun is easy to carry, and only one soldier can carry hundreds of bullets produced, which completely saves the cumbersome step of transportation!"

"Think about it, everyone. Compared horizontally, isn't the flintlock more economical?" Su Feng continued to explain while holding the gun with a smile.

The reason why Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin and others felt that way was because Su Feng mentioned the material of brass, which is equivalent to directly piling up money.

As for the more complicated things produced by bows and arrows, they cannot be felt intuitively, so that's why I said what I just said.

Now when they heard Su Feng say this, they immediately understood the reason.

"Yes, if you count the manufacturing of feathers and arrows, as well as transportation and consumption, manufacturing this kind of flintlock gun actually saves a lot, and it is easy to carry, and its role on the battlefield is completely different!" Li Shimin He nodded with deep understanding.

Changsun Wuji stopped talking. He felt that he was indeed short-sighted and had once again been embarrassed in front of Su Feng.

"Now we can build this kind of flintlock gun first, and only after mastering the simplest principle can we continue to build more complex guns!"

"As the saying goes, you have to eat one bite at a time. Don't rush this kind of thing. First, make this kind of gun on a large scale, and then think about the bullets!"

"When the right opportunity comes, it will be much smoother to manufacture a complex firearm like a machine gun!" Su Feng continued to explain with a smile.

"It's my short-sightedness!" Changsun Wuji lowered his head guiltily.

At this moment, he had a dark face and his hair was very disheveled. Combined with his somewhat guilty look, he looked very funny.

"Hahaha..." Seeing Changsun Wuji's appearance, Su Feng couldn't help laughing.

With Su Feng alleviating the atmosphere, the others also couldn't help laughing.

At last.

Everyone present laughed wildly, even Changsun Wuji smiled.

He looked at Su Feng gratefully. With Changsun Wuji's intelligence, how could he not see that the other party was trying to save him?

Stretching out his hand to touch the flintlock gun, Changsun Wuji suddenly thought of what Su Feng said just now, after they can master the basic experience, they can make complicated guns like machine guns.

So, what exactly is the difference between these two guns?
"My lord, why don't you take advantage of this opportunity and tell us all about the structure and differences between these guns, so that we can open our eyes!" Changsun Wuji looked at Su Feng expectantly.

Not only him.

The interest of Li Shimin and others was also quickly raised, and they all looked at Su Feng eagerly.

They had witnessed the power of heavy machine guns in the north, and they also saw the experiment of flintlock guns just now. Only Su Feng knew the reason behind it.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll take this opportunity to tell you the difference between a single shot and a continuous shot!" Su Feng laughed, picked up the flintlock gun again, and explained it in detail.

He explained in detail the differences between single-shot and continuous-shot, rifles and heavy machine guns, including the principles...
