Five years later~During the five years.
The development of the Supreme Mighty Empire is gradually picking up, and the reform of powers is going very smoothly.
In each year's fiscal review, the revenue gain percentage is higher than the previous year.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest rifle manufactured by the Imperial Science Academy through research and improvement. This weapon is simple in design. It is no longer like a flintlock. It has front-loading projectiles. Instead, we discovered a kind of mercury element, and then through improvements, we designed a firing pin containing mercury element percussion powder. We put the firing pin on the anvil with a high precise fire, striking the firing pin can ignite the Gunpowder within the chamber, and finally boom." As the minister clapped in hands from one end to the other.
"At first, we planned to wrap it with brass shells, but in the end, we found that the risk of exploding the chamber was too high, so we chose to use copper..."
Yun Yun played with the gun in his hand, listening to the explanation of the Minister of the Science Academy in his ears, and was a little unresponsive.
"Your engineering academy is full of talented people.
We have just entered the first industrial era a few years ago, and already we have developed rifles?
And it skipped the shells needed from the previous generation to copper shell bullets."
"Your Majesty, this is also the latest canon developed by the Science Academy. It is a Gatling gun cannon. It is just in the testing and improvement stage. It is expected to take at least one or two years to be put into use."
Immediately afterward, the minister of the Academy of Science introduced to the emperor the military research conducted by the Imperial Academy of Science in recent years.
"Gatling Gun?" After hearing this, Yun Yun looked at the minister of the Academy of Science in front of him with dumbfounded eyes of hope.
'Dear Sir, although I am not a historical professor when on earth if I remember correctly. Earth's civilization's Gatling guns appeared during the American Revolution.
And we have just entered the first industrial age, only a few years ago.
Have you researched the rifles and Gatling guns for me?' Yun Yun was surprised as his thoughts were shown across his face. He was internally happy because he now had a semi-fighting chance in this universe.
"Is Your Majesty not satisfied?" Seeing His Majesty's gaze, the minister of the Science Academy was startled. "Our Science Academy is only in the testing stage of the Gatling gun. It still needs improvement. It is still far from being officially used in the army."
"Try to be the best you can be!" Yun Yun didn't know what to say. Today, on a whim, he went to the Science Academy to check, which gave him an early Christmas gift.
After visiting the weapons department.
Yun Yun put down the rifle in his hand, put his hands behind his back, and walked around the huge engineering academy.
When he passed by the simple laboratory, he pointed at the busy staff inside and turned to look at the minister of the Academy of Science next to him, "What are they doing?"
"This... Your Majesty, these guys are talking about building a steel battleship that can travel on the sea, and they have made many proportions and theories for me. Therefore, I can only let them make a model temporarily and take a look... …"
The Minister of the Science Academy smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
"Nonsense, can steel and wood weigh the same? How is it possible to travel on the sea?" One of the higher-ranking generals during the great war next to him said with displeasure.
Even if he had not attended school for a few days, he knew that the weight of steel and wood was not directly proportional.
Wouldn't a steel ship sink directly into the sea?
"There are no absolutes. Why can wooden ships float on the sea, but steel ships can't? Why can birds fly in the sky? But we humans can't?"
"If you have an idea, then pursue it. I and the empire will support you from behind the scenes."
Yun Yun smiled and patted his shoulder. If the Supreme Mighty Empire can truly move towards the vast ocean, it depends on the Imperial Science Academy.
This Imperial Academy of Science is full of talented people and their imagination is unparalleled.
Many things that he hadn't thought of, these people had thought of.
steeled steam engine-powered ships, the first industrial revolution seemed to have appeared, and they were some kind of steam engine-powered ships.
"By the way, I heard that your Science Academy is researching something, a carriage that can run without horses. Is that true?"
Suddenly, Yun Yun seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the minister of the Academy of Science beside him.
"Yes, yes, please come here, Your Majesty. There is no problem with the various theories. As long as the power of the steam engine is sufficient, then we don't need horses, and the carriage can move by itself and with this thing, whether it is transporting supplies or troops, it will be much easier." Hearing His Majesty ask this, the minister of the Academy of Science's eyes lit up, and he led His Majesty the Emperor to the research institute that developed the steam motives engine department.
Yun Yun naturally knew what changes the steam locomotive would bring to this country.
This is also a must-have in the era of the industrial revolution. Once this thing is used, what kind of convenience will it bring to the Supreme Mighty Empire?
He also hopes that the Academy of Science will develop telegraph phone line machines and the like so that the news can be transmitted without having to rely entirely on flying pigeons or traveling ten thousand miles across heavy terrain.
He also knew that the telegraph was not something that should appear in this era.
The first industry only allowed civilization to move forward. Using the principle of steam to gradually move civilization towards the foundation of the information age civilization laid a solid and heavy foundation for the second industry.
The second industry is the true beginning of civilization, which can use the resources that can be seen, mined, and used on the planet.
"Your Majesty, this is the steam locomotive that our engineering institute is designing. It weighs 7.4 tons and can travel 50 miles per hour."
The minister of the Academy of Science was afraid that the emperor did not understand the technical terminology, so he simply told him the data directly.
"That's right, I'm not in a hurry. My Minister, please take your time." Yun Yun was not in a hurry. 50 miles per hour was 50 miles per hour. He was not in a hurry.
One bite cannot make you lose hope in the food.
Technology is all developed step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
There is no need to undermine the confidence of the Science Academy.
"By the way, how are you doing with your research on Electric books? Are there any results?"
"Your Majesty, we are working hard to research and make breakthroughs. The wind turbine according to the design has been made. However, we still do not understand how to use it." The minister of the Academy of Science said with fear. He guaranteed that it would be done in five years. It was indeed done, but he still didn't understand how electricity was generated.
What's the purpose of a giant tower that spins?
"I will be in the Imperial Palace, waiting for your good news." Yun Yun shook his head slightly. The electricity was produced, but there was no electrical equipment or lights, so it was of no use.
Still needs to develop his civilization step by step.
He can't be too anxious.
Overall, the Academy of Science still gave him many surprises.
"I will carry out your will, Your Majesty, I will not disappoint Your Majesty." Watching His Majesty the Emperor and the generals around him leave, the Minister of the Science Academy bowed slightly and watched the Emperor leave his Science Academy.
"Your Majesty, the new rifles developed by the Science Academy, according to the general's ideas, can be installed in the army, but the production of ammunition is a problem." After leaving the Science Academy, a military general next to Yun Yun said.
"There is no war in the empire now, so there is no need to equip such weapons. What is the purpose of equipping them with these weapons?"
Another general said: "Although the weapons are good, we can't cause trouble to the empire now."
"Equipment must be equipped, but it cannot be equipped on a large scale. The empire has too many troops. Once it is equipped in large quantities, new weapons and equipment will be developed. Then what will we do with the obsolete weapons? Today, we are the only country on this planet. In addition to using them, we still destroy them when they have no value."
Yun Yun naturally considered the upgrading of weapons and said, "Just order the weapons manufacturing company under the Science Academy to produce enough weapons to equip a specialized division in the royal guards."
