Chapter 875
Gao Yang continued to explain, "The barrel is the channel for projectile launch and needs to withstand the power of gunpowder explosion, so the material requirements are very high. The stock is simpler, made of wood, to provide stability for shooting!"
"As for this flintlock mechanism, it is extraordinary. This is the core part of the flintlock gun, which needs to be installed with a flint clamp, hammer, steel plate, and other components!"
"The trigger is for pulling to trigger all of this. The powder pan is on this side, used to place a small amount of gunpowder so that it can be ignited when the flint hits the steel plate to produce sparks!"
"My drawing should be very clear, and everything is marked!"
Gao Yang drew the flintlock gun according to his memory, then stopped his brush and said to the few people.
But as soon as he stopped, he noticed something wrong.
"Eh!"
"What the hell is this?"
Gao Yang looked at his drawing and was the first to curse.
The flintlock gun in his mind couldn't be said to be exactly the same as the one on the drawing; it could only be said to be completely unrelated.
Gao Yang himself was like this, and Wu Zhao, Shangguan Wan'er, and others had even more black lines on their faces.
They leaned in with anticipation, only to see the paper was crooked. The barrel was a circle, then the stock twisted down, and the flint was smudged into a ball.
They stared at it for a long time, but couldn't see what it was, but they didn't dare to question it. What if the flintlock gun really looked this abstract but had great power?
"Your Majesty, you know that this subject has always been an abstract painter, focusing on painting the spirit rather than the form!"
"Once the flintlock gun comes out, it basically means the era has changed, and it can be improved, and the killing range will be wider and more terrifying!"
"Just like the Xiongnu next to my Great Qian, and some nomadic peoples, if they dare to be arrogant, Your Majesty can directly send cavalry, riding warhorses and holding the truth to sweep across, teaching them to sing and dance, and come to Changancheng to dance every year!"
Gao Yang touched his nose. Although he was a bit embarrassed, he still said loudly.
After all, as long as he wasn't embarrassed, the embarrassed one would be someone else.
Wu Zhao had witnessed the power of the grenade and had long been interested in this.
If it was as Gao Yang said, the gun is fast within seven steps, and accurate and fast within seven steps, if a cavalry came and held this thing, killing on the grassland...
Dare not think, simply dare not think!
"Lord Gao, such a good thing, why not let someone bring it for me to see?"
Wu Zhao looked dissatisfied and couldn't hold back.
If she had this divine weapon, what was Chu Kingdom, what were the Seven Kingdoms? She wanted to conquer a large territory for Great Qian!
Wu Zhao felt heroic, and the majesty of the Emperor who looked down on everything permeated her body!
But Gao Yang spread his hands, looking innocent, "Your Majesty, look at what you're saying. If this subject had this flintlock gun when I was assassinated in the Changle Palace, how could I have been hijacked out of the palace?"
Wu Zhao was stunned, "So this thing hasn't been made yet?"
Instantly, Wu Zhao's heart cooled by half, but thinking about it, if there really was this thing, how could Gao Yang be hijacked by the Wuqing Sect?
But it doesn't matter, this thing will sooner or later be Great Qian's!
At this moment, Gao Yang spoke, "Your Majesty, this subject has a good news and a bad news. Which one does Your Majesty want to hear first?"
"Hmm?"
Wu Zhao instantly realized something was wrong.
This was a bit like the scene when the Push-Favor Edict was mentioned in the Rouge Pavilion. She felt a bit of deja vu!
Good news: Push-Favor is an open scheme, and the vassal kings cannot avoid it. Bad news: Great Qian's national strength is not enough. Once the Push-Favor Edict is launched, the vassal kings will rebel, and Great Qian will be destroyed!
"What is the good news?"
Wu Zhao straightened her body and asked.
"The good news is that this subject is working on developing the flintlock gun. Once developed, Your Majesty will get a divine weapon, which can trample the Six Kingdoms and open the foundation of Great Qian for ten thousand generations!"
Gao Yang said domineeringly.
Wu Zhao was not happy at all, took a deep breath and said, "Then what is the bad news?"
Gao Yang scratched his head and said, "The bad news is that the flintlock gun is too difficult, and the requirements for smelting technology are very high. This subject only knows a little bit, maybe it will take a year or a half, or ten or eight years. If you count the improvements, explosions, and other problems that may occur, twenty years is also possible..."
