Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 545: A few seconds of real manliness

What would that mean? Wouldn't that be a crime of deceiving the emperor?

Zhu Youxiao nodded and did not make things difficult for Bi Maokang.

Scientists like this should focus on their research and not be embarrassed. Besides, I can't mess around here or do anything else. Otherwise, if something really goes wrong, Bi Maokang and the others will be in trouble.

Then I'll ask them to send the guns to the palace and set up a private shooting range. Once there, they can play with the guns as they please, because no one will supervise them anyway.

If something really goes wrong, it will be my own problem. The best way is not to let these ministers suffer.

Zhu Youxiao knew very well that he could not cause trouble for others.

"Alright, that's it." Zhu Youxiao handed the spear to the person next to him and said, "Let's go to the back and take a look. There is another powerful weapon here."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone.

Bi Maokang was really worried before, but now the emperor is not angry with him and no longer makes things difficult for him, which is good.

As for the emperor wanting to go to the back to take a look, of course he wanted to see the Gatling gun.

Although I don't know why His Majesty calls that gun a Gatling gun, everyone calls it that and we're used to it.

When he came to the back, Zhu Youxiao saw the hand-cranked machine gun that had already been produced and assembled.

This thing can be placed on a machine gun vehicle, or it can be disassembled and placed on the battlefield, which is very convenient.

There were bullets placed next to it, similar to the rifle belt in front, all straight up and down.

There's a hand-cranked joystick next to it, which clearly has been redesigned. The six gun barrels on the front also look icy and beautiful. If you crank them, they rotate even more beautifully.

However, without motor control, this thing would soon be replaced by the Maxim machine gun.

A hand-cranked Gatling gun like this one couldn't possibly reach its theoretical rate of fire. If it turned too quickly, it would likely jam or explode, which would be a very troublesome thing.

Reloading the Gatling gun is also a hassle, requiring a change of ammunition every time. The current belt only holds 18 rounds, requiring a change after every 18 rotations. Essentially, the belt needs to be replaced after only three rotations, which is why its rate of fire isn't very fast. It's basically just a beep, beep, beep, and then it's out of ammunition.

As for the firing rate of 1200 rounds, it can only be achieved by continuously firing the gun. If you want to achieve this effect in a real sense, you have to wait until the future to use a motor to drive the barrel to rotate, and then equip it with countless huge ammunition belts, so that it can fire as if the bullets are unlimited.

This thing is very large and is usually used as an aircraft cannon. Even the modified light Gatling gun has a huge ammunition belt box on its back.

Even then, it's usually just a few seconds of real manliness; then it's gone.

But even so, if this thing is placed on the battlefield of cold weapons, this powerful weapon can still make countless people shudder.

The reason is very simple. No one would just place a gun like this on the battlefield.

"Very good." Zhu Youxiao reached out and touched the barrel of the gun and said, "Let's find a place to try it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed quickly.

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao had no intention of shooting, Bi Maokang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Your Majesty wants to get this thing, I will not let you do it no matter what.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao didn't have this idea. He knew very well what should be moved and what should not be moved.

I have never used it myself. Although the Gatling gun looks good, it is easy to have problems if one of the operations is not done properly.

Don't make trouble, let them demonstrate.

As a result, Zhu Youxiao saw it very quickly.

As it turned, bullets flew and the small tree opposite was directly smashed to pieces. The effect was really good.

There was a burst of gunfire. The three machine guns fired at one position, which was really fierce and made Zhu Youxiao very satisfied.

"Very good, very good." Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang and said, "Let's talk to the imperial guards later and let them get familiar with these weapons as soon as possible. We'll distribute them in small quantities first, so they don't get stuck without knowing how to use them on the battlefield."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bi Maokang agreed.
