On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1163 Firearms Against Firearms

"Then...what should we do?"

Murong Yan's voice carried a deep sense of helplessness.

Are they just supposed to stand by and watch those so-called "Rakshasa demons" swagger around and do whatever they want right in front of their Great Qian home?

"Want to deal with muskets."

Lin Zhen's eyes gleamed with a complex light that was difficult for others to decipher.

"The only way is..."

"We also possess more advanced and powerful firearms than they do!"

"Firearms against firearms!"

"This is the only way to break this deadlock!"

"We also have firearms?"

Murong Yan was so shocked by Lin Zhen's bold and almost insane idea that she was speechless for a long time.

She had never even seen that thing before.

Not to mention any manufacturing methods.

"Husband, you...you're not joking, are you?"

"We don't even know what that thing looks like."

"And how do we manufacture it?"

"Who says we don't know what it looks like?"

Lin Zhen's lips curled into a mysterious smile.

He walked to the desk and spread out a sheet of white paper.

Then he picked up a brush and dipped it in ink.

He relied on his vague memories from later generations.

He began sketching rapidly on the paper.

soon.

The shape of the pole is somewhat strange.

But it is full of the cold, metallic feel of a primitive musket sketch.

It then leaps off the page.

Murong Yan, Zhou Xing, and Li Ge all gathered around.

They stared with curiosity at the strange object on the paper that they had never seen before.

"Husband, this...this is the musket you were talking about?"

Murong Yan pointed to the long, black iron pipe on the blueprint.

And the curved wooden handle below.

His face was filled with confusion.

"Can this thing really breathe fire?"

"Can they really take a life from a hundred paces away?"

She simply couldn't bring herself to accept this somewhat clumsy-looking "firewood stick".

This is connected to the weapon of mass destruction that Lin Zhen mentioned, one that could change the nature of warfare.

"Yes."

Lin Zhen nodded affirmatively.

"This is the most primitive matchlock gun."

"The principle behind it is actually very simple."

Pointing to the blueprints, he began his second popular science lecture for his "ancient students."

"We just need to drill a small hole in the back of this iron pipe."

"Then black powder and iron shot are loaded into the tube in sequence."

"Finally, use a lit fuse to ignite the gunpowder in that small hole."

"The gunpowder exploded instantly inside the sealed iron pipe."

"It generates tremendous thrust."

"Launch the iron pellets at a speed that is imperceptible to the naked eye!"

"Its power is enough to easily pierce the finest iron armor within a hundred paces!"

Lin Zhen's words.

Like bolts of lightning.

Once again, it exploded in the minds of Murong Yan, Zhou Xing, and Li Ge!

They stared blankly at the drawing that depicted a "fire poker".

With his mouth agape and his eyes wide open.

I couldn't say a word for a long time.

They feel that the worldview they have built up over the past few decades is something they are accustomed to.

Today, they are being treated by their omnipotent Regent.

It was completely overturned time and time again!

Loading gunpowder?

Launching projectiles?

Pierce through iron armor within a hundred paces?

This...this is a method that only a god could come up with!

"The king...the prince..."

The voice of Li Ge, the Minister of Works, was trembling.

The way he looked at Lin Zhen was no longer the way he looked at a prince.

It was like watching a god of mechanical arts crawl out of the grave of Lu Ban, the patriarch of carpenters!

"You...you're saying...is all of this true?"

"of course it's true."

Lin Zhen looked completely calm and collected.

"If you don't believe me, you can try making a few based on my blueprints."

"Let's see how it goes."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Li Ge was so excited that his entire body of fat was trembling.

"This old minister will go immediately!"

"Even if this old minister doesn't eat, drink, or sleep!"

"We will definitely forge this divine weapon in the shortest possible time!"

As he spoke, he snatched the blueprints from the table.

Then they even forgot the most basic etiquette between ruler and subject.

He turned around and rushed out of the study like a gust of wind.

As if afraid of being even a second too late.

This world-changing artifact would fly away as if it were about to disappear.

Zhou Xing was also filled with excitement and exhilaration.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty!"

"If this musket could really be made!"

"Then our Great Qian Dynasty will truly be invincible under heaven!"

"Don't even mention 'Rakshasa Kingdom' then!"

"Even if the King of Heaven himself came, we wouldn't be afraid!"

Murong Yan's beautiful eyes also sparkled with excitement.

She looked at her amazing husband who always managed to create miracles at the most crucial moments.

My heart is filled with unparalleled adoration and love.

At this moment, she was still wearing the Phoenix Descent Dress, which served as her only nightgown.

Under the bright candlelight in the study, the extremely dark Suzhou brocade seemed to transform into a mysterious canvas capable of giving birth to endless possibilities.

And she and the man beside her are the most outstanding painters on this canvas!

The giant phoenix embroidered with real gold thread seemed to foreshadow the glorious future of the Great Qian Dynasty, which would dominate the world!

An unprecedented, dazzling golden light, filled with conquest and glory, burst forth from his phoenix eyes!

The five-zhang-long, dark gold Suzhou brocade train spread out freely from her feet.

It was as if the mighty military might of the Great Qian Dynasty was extending infinitely towards the whole world from beneath her feet!

"Husband,"

She exclaimed with genuine admiration.

"You are truly a treasure bestowed upon our Great Qian by Heaven."

"No,"

Lin Zhen smiled and shook his head.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

He whispered in her ear in the gentlest voice in the world.

"You are the only treasure in my life, Lin Zhen."

Li Ge's efficiency is astonishing.

Or rather, in the face of such a divine weapon capable of changing the fate of a nation.

Any ambitious craftsman can unleash two hundred percent of his potential.

Just three days later.

The first batch of ten matchlock guns were made entirely according to Lin Zhen's blueprints.

They were then carefully taken to the royal hunting grounds on the outskirts of Beijing.

Lin Zhen, Murong Yan, and a group of key officials of the court.

They were all present at the scene.

They were about to witness firsthand the first live-fire exercise of this groundbreaking weapon.

On a wide meadow in the Royal Hunting Grounds.

Ten sharpshooters, handpicked from the twelve guards of the capital.

He was fiddling with the dark "fire poker" in his hand with a look of curiosity and nervousness.

They were a hundred paces away.

Ten human-shaped targets, made of the sturdiest elm wood, were erected.

The targets were all wearing a set of high-quality steel armor in the style of the Golden Wolf Cavalry.

"Your Highness."

Li Ge rubbed his hands together, looking both excited and nervous as he walked over.

"Everything is ready."

"We can start anytime."

"let's start."

Lin Zhen nodded lightly.

Following his order.

The ten sharpshooters immediately followed the procedure they had rehearsed countless times beforehand.

They began loading gunpowder and projectiles.

The whole process was somewhat tedious and slow.

But everyone did it meticulously.

soon.

Filling completed.

Ten sharpshooters crouched on the ground.

He aimed the dark muzzle of the gun at the armored target a hundred paces away.

Then he lit the tinder in his hand.

"put!"

With a command from a general!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of deafening roars suddenly erupted!

A strong, pungent smell of gunpowder instantly filled the entire hunting ground!

All the civil and military officials present except for Lin Zhen, who was prepared in advance.

Everyone was startled by the sudden loud noise and thick smoke!

Several timid civil officials even collapsed to the ground.

Even Murong Yan's hand, which was gripping Lin Zhen's armrest, tightened unconsciously.

Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with disbelief and shock!

She finally experienced it firsthand.

Just how terrifying is the terrifying weapon described in Huhan's evil words, which can produce a thunderous roar!

This is a power that no ordinary person could possibly possess.

This is practically the thunderous wrath of the gods!

And as the smoke of battle gradually dissipated.

When everyone saw the terrible state of the ten targets a hundred paces away.

They all gasped in shock!

All that could be seen were ten targets clad in sturdy iron armor.

Each of them had a gruesome hole the size of a bowl in their chest!

The elm stakes behind the target were blasted to pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere!
