Iron Dynasty

The maiden, don't tease the slaves. How can I wait for the humble person to wait by the emperor's side.

The air seemed to be stagnant for a while, and Aster was the first to react with sincerity and fear.

Luluo was also a little flustered. Since Xiao Ming took the throne, the distinction between honor and inferiority has become more and more insurmountable. At this time, Fei Yue'er said these words to them, and it was like driving them away.

Seeing the pale faces of the two, Xiao Ming smiled helplessly: I testify for the Queen, this is absolutely true.

Xiao Ming said, Aster and Luluo believed it, and panic gradually turned into joy.

The two have followed Xiao Ming for five years, and have long had a deep relationship with Xiao Ming. If they leave here one day, they will not know how to live.

In countless nights, they had also hoped like this, but they didn't expect that one day this kind of hope would become a reality.

Thank you, Your Majesty, thank the Queen Mother. Aster and Luluo saluted beamingly.

Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er also had smiles on their faces. He said to them, Thank you to the Queen Mother for this, so why don't you go now?

Yes, Your Majesty. Luluo and Aster happily went to the Ciren Palace.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Fei Yue'er glanced at Xiao Ming angrily and said, The emperor doesn't have to secretly go to meet the two of them every three or five minutes. Tonight, the emperor will be able to flip the brand.

Xiao Ming was suddenly a little embarrassed. Some things really couldn't be hidden from women's eyes. During Fei Yue'er's pregnancy, he really often had trysts with two girls.

After all, Xiao Ming is a normal man who always has some physical needs.

After laughing twice, Xiao Ming said, I don't want to flip anyone's brand. The queen is pregnant, so I want to accompany the queen.

When Fei Yue'er heard the words, she covered her mouth and laughed.

The next day, the canonization of Cui Xueer as the imperial concubine, Luluo and Aster as nobles were sent to the three hands. That day, Cui Xueer entered the Xingyuan and temporarily lived in the Chunhua Pavilion in Xingyuan.

This Chunhua Pavilion is behind Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er's bedroom, and Xiao Ming can reach it by walking out of the bedroom and bypassing the path.

After finishing this matter, Xiao Ming can be considered a worry.

In this Northern War, the King of Huainan was very active. Not only did he kill Yan, but he also took the initiative to participate in the attack on the King of Zhao.

Xiao Ming knew very well that the reason why the Huainan King did this was so that Xiao Ming could treat her daughter better.

But now that the war in the north has reached a critical juncture, Xiao Ming decided to let Cui Xueer enter the palace to give King Huainan a reassurance, so that he can fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield.

Congratulations to the emperor for holding the beauty back this time.

The first thing Cui Xueer did after entering the palace was to go to the Hall of Kindness to greet the Empress Dowager. Then she, Shiwan and Luluo went to the bedroom to greet Feiyue. Feiyue had met Cui Xueer earlier.

He had just returned from the Hall of State Council when Fei Yue'er told him about Cui Xue'er.

I don't believe that there are women who are more beautiful than the queen in this world. Xiao Ming is slick, deeply influenced by contemporary culture, and he is very skilled in coaxing his wife.

This made Fei Yue'er feel sweet, and she said, I'm afraid the emperor will forget what he said now when he sees this Cui Xue'er.

The two were talking when Qian Dafu suddenly came over and said to Xiao Ming, Your Majesty, Lu Tong asks to see you.

Lu Tong? Let him in.

Xiao Ming said lightly, Lu Tong has been busy with various chemical experiments during this time, and one of the experiments he instructed Lu Tong to do is the preparation of mercury fulminate.

After nearly five years of teaching, he now has a group of basic talents in his hands, but although these people have mastered some technologies, sometimes they don't know where to start or what to study first.

So Xiao Ming simply formulated a research and development plan after ascending the throne, and asked Lu Tong, Lin Wenyao, Song Changping, Chen Qi and other technical talents to produce various technological items one by one according to the plan he listed.

In Lin Wentao, it is a steam engine and a steam locomotive, while in Lutong, it is the most basic percussion drug, mercury fulminate.

After all, smokeless powder is just propellant, and if you upgrade your firearm to a percussion gun, you must use this type of percussion powder.

When it comes to government affairs, Xiao Ming no longer meets Lu Tong near the dormitory, but waits for him in the main hall.

After a while, Lu Tong appeared outside the main hall and walked towards Xiao Ming.

See the emperor! Lu Tong bowed and said when he got closer.

Xiao Ming looked at Lu Tong, Is there any progress when you come to see me this time?

Your Majesty's ingenious plan, this time the officer is talking about mercury fulminate, which has been successfully synthesized in the laboratory. Lu Tong said excitedly.

Xiao Ming showed a satisfied smile upon hearing this. In 1799, EC Howard produced mercury fulminate, and in 1814, mercury began to be used to make flash hats.

At this time, the flash cap was not used for metal fixed ammunition, but a separate flash cap was inserted to replace the flint.

But even so, it made the gun fire a lot faster, because it eliminated the need to pour the gunpowder into the gunpowder pool.

After the birth of the flash cap, the birth of the firing device and the birth of the rear-loading gun, followed by the creation of metal fixed-loading cartridges.

Now that Lu Tong has made mercury mercury, for Xiao Ming, he can make a flash cap and a firing device to upgrade the flintlock gun into the most primitive firing gun, and increase the fire rate of the gun.

It's just that metal cartridges are not yet possible for him, because even in contemporary countries capable of producing bullets and shells there are said to be only thirteen.

It is conceivable that the production of bullets and artillery shells requires a sufficiently strong industrial system. For Xiao Ming, Qingzhou's industry has just started, and it is difficult to produce metal fixed-loaded bullets.

Not bad, not bad. Xiao Ming smiled. Although the firing device can only increase the rate of fire and cannot change the range and power, it is also a huge improvement for him, because on the battlefield it is often because he can shoot two more shots. And win.

Lu Tong's expression was relaxed, this was the task that Xiao Ming gave him, and now a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Your Majesty, although mercury fulminate is synthesized, it's just that in the opinion of the lower official, this mercury fulminate is a little unstable and easy to explode. If you use this kind of thing in a musket, you need to pay attention to preservation.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, Don't think that your business is over. This mercury fulminate has been developed, but then you have to help Song Changping to use mercury sulfate to make a flash cap.

Flash hat? Lu Tong scratched his head. He didn't know anything about this kind of thing. After all, he was only responsible for synthesizing various things.

At this time, Xiao Ming asked Qian Dafu to bring a pen and paper and began to draw the structure of the flash cap on the paper, stroke by stroke. At the same time, under the action of the technology spar, Lu Tong gradually became clear about what a flash cap was.

PS: There is one more chapter. I originally wanted to have four chapters today, but I never thought about the snail, but I was fooled for a day. The book Heavenly Court Farm has reached 41 points. There is no money at all, which makes the snail get excited for a day and cause no heart to code, not to say, a lot of bitter tears, continue to do more tomorrow.
