    Emperor Tianqi was in high spirits along the way, and soon came to a testing site. Someone had been preparing here for a long time. After looking around, Emperor Tianqi cast his eyes on Xu Guangqi aside, and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing,  It seems that you have been well prepared!" "The emperor has come to the Wuyan Institute, so I naturally dare not slack off. The Wuyan Institute and the firearms factory have spent a lot of money, and I have to give an explanation to the emperor.  Explain! The officials are already complaining about spending so much money here. After all, the court is not well off now," Xu Guangqi said respectfully.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at Xu Guangqi with great relief. It was rare for Xu Guangqi to consider himself so much.  After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Okay, dear, let me see your improved fire dragon water!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi replied respectfully, and then turned his eyes to the person on the side,  He ordered: "Let someone bring the things up!" Naturally, the people around him did not dare to neglect. Not only did Emperor Tianqi come today, but he also brought several military ministers and cabinet bachelors.  This is the first research result since the establishment of the Wuhan Research Institute. It brings together the most advanced technology of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said to be an epoch-making weapon.  Not long after, the fire dragon was lifted out of the water. On a huge tripod, a lifelike wooden dragon was carved.  Under the faucet, four cylindrical powder barrels are tied, each of which is connected with a lead, with only one independent lead leaking out.  The latter lead leads directly to the inside of the fire dragon. As for what is inside, it cannot be seen from the outside.  Looking at the three fire dragons coming out of the water side by side, Emperor Tianqi looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile and said: "Xu Aiqing, it seems that these three fire dragons coming out of the water are different! It seems that Aiqing really worked hard!" "  Returning to the emperor, I dare not neglect my duties. The Wuyan Institute has spent so much money, and it is really unjustifiable if we don't come up with something!" Although Xu Guangqi spoke very modestly, there was a trace of amusement on his face.  It can't be concealed either.  Nodding, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said to the people around him: "My dear friends, this is the first result produced by the Wuhan Academy. Today I will take a look at it with you all! Let all my dear friends see how I spend my money.  Is it worth it? I'll let you see it today!" He turned to Xu Guangqi.  Said: "Xu Aiqing, let's start!" "Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi reached out and took the torch.  He walked up to a Fire Dragon Izuku and said seriously: "My lords, this first Fire Dragon Izuku has not made many improvements, but the gunpowder for boost has been improved, and the range and power are not the same. Please  Watch out, sir!" Putting the torch in his hand toward the negative line, a burst of white smoke flashed, and the lead continued to burn forward with sparks.  boom!  With a sound, the fire dragon flew out of the water.  The four powder barrels below were like four boosters, pushing the wooden dragon out in an instant.  Emperor Apocalypse was dumbfounded as he watched the fire dragon fly out of the water. No wonder this thing is called the prototype of a two-stage rocket. It is so powerful.  I really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty could actually come up with such advanced things. Although I had heard of this thing before, I didn't expect that the shock brought by seeing it now was far from being as simple as what was recorded in the book.  After flying to the highest point.  The four gunpowder barrels slowly extinguished, but flames suddenly spurted out from behind the main body of the fire dragon.  Then the entire fire dragon exploded, and countless rockets flew out of it, shooting hard at the scarecrow target on the ground.  Soon, the place where it was hit was a sea of ????fire.  Everyone who saw this scene was stunned, it was really amazing.  If this were shot into a military formation where tens of thousands of troops gathered, it would definitely be a chaos!  It is definitely better than artillery to stop the advance of cavalry.  "Xu Aiqing, I know you won't let me down, but I really didn't expect that you would have such power. If you report the list of meritorious deeds, I will reward them all!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Xu Guangqi with a smile, and he was in a good mood.  .  The expressions of the ministers on one side were also constantly changing, and they were also very shocked, obviously they did not expect it.  Some of them have seen fire dragons emerge from the water, but they didn't expect it to have such power.  "Very good, let me see the remaining two!" Emperor Tianqi's face was filled with unconcealable joy, his eyes staring at the two fire dragons in the distance, and everyone could see the look of anticipation.  At this time, everyone present also became serious, and the several bachelors in the cabinet no longer showed contempt, their eyes were full of caution.  Originally, they were very dissatisfied with Emperor Tianqi spending money like this, even though most of it came from Emperor Tianqi's inner treasury.  But now no one dares to say such a thing. If such weapons are taken out, the combat effectiveness of the army will definitely increase exponentially.  If we can destroy the Jiannu or the Mongolian Tatars,?, people like myself will definitely be remembered in history.  Under the gaze of everyone, Xu Guangqi walked in front of another Fire Dragon Izuku and said with a smile: "My lords, this Water Dragon Izuku was prepared by the Wuyan Academy for the navy. It is not filled with gunpowder but kerosene. There is no spray.  The ability is relatively close." After speaking, Xu Guangqi lit the fire dragon out of the water.  With an explosion, the fire dragon flew out of the water just like before, but the speed was indeed slower than before.  However, this one was different from the previous one. It did not explode in the air, but pierced the wooden warship that had been placed on the ground.  Boom!  After a loud noise, a black cloud rose up, followed by flames reaching into the sky.  The warship used for experiments was already covered in flames, bursting into flames.  Everyone can fully imagine at this time that if this thing explodes on a warship, it will definitely be a nightmare for the warship.  Not to mention the power of the explosion, the burning fire alone can be said to be a fatal blow to the wooden warship.  If a dozen of these things landed on the same warship, I'm afraid the warship would be burned to ashes.  "Master Xu, I am really impressed. It is a blessing for the country to have Master Xu in the Ming Dynasty!" Sun Chengzong looked at the fire burning in the distance with a deep joy on his face.  Because he had led troops and fought in battles, Sun Chengzong had a very advanced understanding of tactics. This thing could definitely be used not only in water battles.  "Lord Sun, you are so complimentary. This is due to the favor of the emperor. All the people in the Martial Arts Institute are working together, and the small contribution is nothing to mention!" Xu Guangqi looked at Sun Chengzong humbly. In the Ming Dynasty, there were not many people that Xu Guangqi truly respected, and Sun Chengzong was definitely the best.  one.  Turning his attention to Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I feel that this thing cannot only be used to equip the navy, but also the army on land. If you use this thing to attack the camp or burn the opponent's food and grass, it will definitely be able to  It worked wonders!" Several people around him couldn't help but take a breath. Mr. Sun was really awesome. Thinking of the camp with flames rising into the sky, everyone present began to mourn for Jiannu.  It seems that when the army is completed, it will be time to completely wipe out the Tatars.  "Xu Aiqing, the Wuhan Research Institute is stepping up research on these things. In addition, the scale of musket bullets must be expanded. Currently, the annual output of 30,000 Guangqi type is only 200,000 bullets. It is too few and cannot meet the needs at all." Tianqi  The emperor frowned, with a look of contemplation on his face.  A musket without bullets is a fire stick. This quantity is definitely not enough. Emperor Tianqi just remembered it.  "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to report, should we reduce some Guangqi-style production? I'm worried that the national treasury will not be able to bear it!" Although he said this, Xu Guangqi knew that the treasury could not afford so much money, and he would definitely have to pay for it from Emperor Tianqi's pocket.  .  Shaking his head, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, I say once again, you don't have to worry about money. Even if I sell the Forbidden City, I will definitely give you the money you need. Don't have any scruples. I  No matter how much it costs, no matter what you do, I will build an arsenal that can produce 20 million rounds of bullets per year. "Xu Guangqi was stunned this time, 20 million rounds, this is not the kind of spherical bullets, but the production of bullets.  It's much more complicated.  But Xu Guangqi also knew very well that Emperor Tianqi said a lot, otherwise 30,000 broken-hair guns would be a joke.  Nodding solemnly, Xu Guangqi said loudly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete it and never let the Emperor down!" Emperor Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Okay, I can rest assured that Aiqing will do the work. Now let me  Look at the last red dragon out of the water. Since it is placed at the end, it must be the most proud thing of Aiqing, right? " "Your Majesty, I really like this one the most. There is nothing else in it. It is all good."  The amount of gunpowder was about twenty kilograms. Xu Guangqi reached out and stroked the wooden fire dragon, his face full of love, as if he was looking at his son. Everyone looked at each other in shock. Thinking about twenty kilograms of gunpowder made people shudder.  If this thing is used for siege, I am afraid that few people can stop it. "The emperor's minister once experimented and found that the power of this thing's explosion is very powerful, equivalent to the power of five Hongyi cannons hitting it at the same time.  "Xu Guangqi said with a red light on his face. "Quick, try blowing it up!  "Emperor Tianqi rubbed his hands and said eagerly. He seemed to want to try it himself. Xu Guangqi hurriedly stopped Emperor Tianqi and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, let's go to a farther place to see it!  This thing is so powerful, if there is any mistake, I will die for it!  " The people around him quickly agreed, this thing is really going to explode here, I'm afraid there won't be any living things around. Emperor Tianqi naturally followed the advice and led his ministers to the distant stage.??.  Xu Guangqi also handed over the torch in his hand to a soldier, and accompanied Emperor Tianqi to the stage.
