The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"Master Kang? Are you here?"

When Wang Kang walked into the workshop, several craftsmen who were working were busy greeting each other.

Someone asked: "Young Master Kang, have you sent another blueprint?"

This person is an old man, wearing a tight-fitting vest. Although he is old, he has well-trained muscles and a sense of strength. This person not only has a superb casting level, but is also a martial arts master.

His name is Yueshan, and he is the person in charge here.

"Master Kang, those blueprints are really eye-opening for me,"

Another person praised: "Especially the sleeve arrow, which is precisely made and extremely lethal."

"That's right, and this fine steel is even more unheard of, I'm sure, it's never been seen before!"

"It's no regret to be able to come into contact with these for half a lifetime in cast iron!"

Several people sighed one after another, Wang Kang shook his head with a smile and said, "Have you studied the blueprints that I sent you before?"

Hearing Wang Kang's words, Yue Shan took a blueprint from the shelf next to it, and said with difficulty: "We still can't understand some places."

"Oh? What places?" Wang Kang picked up the blueprint.

There are not many drawings on this blueprint. It looks like a long round cylinder as a whole, but some small parts are marked in some places.

"Is your place thicker than other places?"

Yue Shan pointed to a place and asked.

"That's right, here is a lantern-like bulge, thicker than other places."

Wang Kang then said, "I'd better tell you all about it!"

"Okay, to be honest, your thing looks relatively simple, but we are still quite confused."

One person was busy talking.

Others also gathered around, and they all understood a truth for so long, that Master Kang's products must be high-quality products.

Wang Kang took the blueprint and explained: "This thing is called a firecracker!"

"Fireball?"

"That's right," Wang Kang said in a deep voice: "It is essentially a firearm, which uses the instantaneous nature of gunpowder combustion to instantly generate a large amount of high-temperature gas with relatively high pressure."

"And it is squeezed into the gun chamber with a smaller cross-section, so that the pressure increases again, thereby increasing the firing force and pushing the projectile out!"

After hearing Wang Kang's words, several people were still somewhat ambiguous, but the shock in their eyes could hardly be concealed.

How can they not know what gunpowder is after being stationed in Tianluo for so long, and they also have some understanding of the lethality of this thing.

And Young Master Kang, this thing called firecracker, turned out to be a weapon using gunpowder, so what is its power?

Wang Kang ignored the thoughts of several people, pointed to a place on the drawing, and explained: "Look, here is the gun chamber, here is the medicine room, and this is the tail. As the gun chamber has just said, the function of this medicine room is that is……"

Chapter 333 Tang Qingyi Arrives

"The role of the medicine room, as the name implies, is the place where gunpowder is placed,"

Wang Kang continued: "The medicine room is a very important part. The medicine room is raised in the shape of a lantern, and the inner and outer diameters are larger than the inner and outer diameters of the barrel."

"Moreover, the inner wall must be smooth, which is conducive to cleaning up the gunpowder residue and takes less time..."

After listening to Wang Kang's explanation, several craftsmen were lost in thought.

After a while, Yue Shan said solemnly: "Master Kang, this thing looks simple, but it is very difficult to do it successfully!"

Another person echoed: "Yes, according to your drawings, and the firecracker itself has to bear the pressure of gunpowder, so it has very high requirements on the material,"

"The fine steel we have smelted and forged can meet the requirements, but this firecracker is not a straight barrel, but a shape that gradually increases from the mouth of the barrel to the medicine chamber..."

Wang Kang nodded, these master craftsmen have already got to the point, this is indeed a difficult point.

It is not difficult to make such a bobbin with a mold, the rare thing is how to meet the requirements and size.

After thinking for a while, Wang Kang said again: "I know this is difficult, and now your focus is on this, how to overcome this difficulty!"

"Yes!" Several people responded.

"Okay, you guys are busy," Wang Kang ordered, and was about to leave.

"Master Kang," Yue Shan said at this moment.

"What's the matter, what else?"

Yue Shan said: "If you have the opportunity, you can hire a few Lu country craftsmen!"

"A craftsman from Lu State?"

"right,"

Yue Shan nodded and said: "There are many skilled craftsmen in Lu State, and their skills are superb. Your items are all new products with precise structures. If there are famous Lu State craftsmen, they should be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

Wang Kang said something with a smile, and then left, the Lu country craftsmen are widely rumored in the mainland, so he has heard of it.

The State of Lu is a small country in the southeastern part of the mainland, regardless of its location, its population is relatively small.

But the craftsmen of the Lu State are highly skilled, and some war equipment, such as siege vehicles, climbing ladders, etc., were all invented by Lu State craftsmen...

If there is a chance, I really should invite a few people, maybe I can bring surprises to myself.

Wang Kang kept this matter in mind, and then returned to Xinfeng County with Li Qingman...

When the city was built, there were many things that required him to participate in the approval. When Wang Kang went back, he got into the study and started to deal with it.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Squeak,"

The door opened, and a slender figure walked in. She was slender and slender, with delicate light makeup. Her long hair was tied up, and she looked very capable overall.

She is Tang Qingyi.

Tang Qingyi can be said to be Wang Kang's earliest team member. Since he bought Fengyage, he has followed Wang Kang.
