After the successful research of the first generation of muskets, Ying Zheng ordered the military factories to adopt a standardized assembly line model and devote all their efforts to the production of musket ammunition.
Mo Ju and others continued to be responsible for the research of muskets. For example, defects such as ammunition capacity, shooting accuracy, recoil, etc. needed to be improved.
To this end, Chu Yuening also exchanged a lot of information related to firearms manufacturing from the system and gave it to them for reference.
Although these advanced materials are beyond the difficulty of the times, she is not worried at all.
You have to know that this is the Qin Dynasty, where the error of arrowheads does not exceed one millimeter, and the accuracy is almost comparable to that of modern standardized weapons.
The craftsman's skills, which he guaranteed with his life, were no joke, not to mention that Mohist was a top master in this field.
A mere musket is just an appetizer. Maybe we can make a rocket launcher for fun in the future.
The Mohist disciple who worked hard to improve the musket: Why do I suddenly feel so stressed?
After solving the weapons problem, there is still a crucial issue that Chu Yuening needs to consider, and that is logistical and medical support.
Zhangtai Palace, outer hall.
Chu Yuening and Ying Zheng sat at the top with dignified and solemn expressions. The imperial physician and medical school students who were summoned saluted as soon as they came in.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
“…”
Chu Yuening was already accustomed to such grand occasions. She was dressed in a black and gold phoenix robe, looking elegant and luxurious, yet solemn and majestic.
At this moment, she nodded slightly, with an elegant smile on her face. Her voice was soft as water, but contained an awe-inspiring aura.
"Well, get up."
"Today, I would like you to develop some medicines to treat wounded soldiers on the battlefield."
After hearing the first half of the sentence, the people below felt a little relieved, thinking that they were developing another medicine like the pagoda candy.
But after hearing the second half of the sentence, everyone's faces changed drastically and they secretly groaned in their hearts.
The battlefield was extremely cruel, with many people missing limbs.
Moreover, the focus of the war was on the front line, and the wounded soldiers in the rear could only receive simple treatment and were basically left to fate.
How could it be so easy to develop medicine suitable for use on the battlefield? The Queen had truly given them a huge challenge!
However, they did not dare to express any opinions. Didn’t they see the calm but intimidating look in His Majesty’s eyes?
If they make the Queen unhappy, they will be in big trouble.
"Yes, we will do our best to live up to your trust."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, my dear ministers."
"I need you to develop alcohol, bandages, anesthetics... and penicillin."
The series of new words stunned everyone. They looked at each other, with confusion in their eyes.
Alcohol and anesthetics are understandable from their names, but what are bandages and penicillin? Could they be some kind of treasure?
Chu Yuening naturally saw their confusion, but she did not explain further. Instead, she ordered the palace people to distribute the prepared information.
Xia Wuqi was the first to get a piece of information. He lowered his head and read it carefully. His expression gradually changed from weird to shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaimed repeatedly.
“There is actually such a miraculous medicine!”
"Bacteria...inflammation...infection..."
"I see! I see!"
The unknown medical field completely overturned previous cognition. Xia Wuqie was so excited that he could hardly control himself, as if he saw a door to a new world opening to him.
He had a hunch that if penicillin was developed, it would not only save countless lives, but would also completely rewrite medical history and bring about an earth-shaking revolution in the medical field.
The Queen is a very good person!
He was given an opportunity to leave his name in history and be remembered forever.
Xia Wuqie tightly grasped the information in his hand, his excitement was beyond words, even his gray beard trembled.
No one paid attention to his abnormality because everyone was immersed in the new world and couldn't extricate themselves.
"It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to when bandaging a wound..."
Bai Ying was holding a bandage instruction manual and reading it carefully, her eyes burning and her eyelashes not blinking, for fear of missing a single word.
Gao Ci in the crowd was also holding a stack of information and reading attentively. His usual calm and composed image of a miracle doctor was gone, and his surging emotions were reflected on his face.
"Purified alcohol... can be used to disinfect wounds and reduce the risk of infection..."
"Excellent! Excellent!"
"... digging out the carrion... opening up the stomach... is this what you call 'surgery'?"
In the spacious hall, the sounds of flipping papers, murmurs, excited exclamations... were bustling and endless.
Ying Zheng frowned, raised his phoenix eyes, glanced at the people below lightly, and spoke in a light tone.
"My dear ministers, please go back and study. Do not let me and the Queen down."
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will take our leave."
A deep and majestic male voice startled everyone, and they realized that they had behaved disrespectfully in front of the emperor, and they hurriedly took their leave in fear and trepidation.
Chu Yuening quietly watched the backs of the group of people walking away, her brows slightly furrowed, and she sighed softly with a hint of melancholy.
Seeing that his little wife seemed to be worried, Ying Zheng glanced at her sideways, held her slightly cold little hand, and spoke with concern in a warm voice.
"Why did Yue Ning sigh?"
“I just don’t know whether these drugs can be developed soon.”
"The information Yue Ning provided is detailed enough. They wouldn't be so useless."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and replied calmly, his dark pupils like a deep pool, shimmering with faint ripples.
