Otherworldly Castle Era

Vol 3 Chapter 26: Ammunition Law

   But the development bottleneck is not so easy to break through!

  According to Yang Song's estimation, at the current development speed, if there is no system reward, if there is a major breakthrough, it will take at least ten years!

   Ten years later, Xia Guo will give birth to enough talents, talents with sufficient knowledge!

   Ten years, what a long time this is! A person’s life span is only a few decades, and based on the time in this world there are three hundred and eighty days a year, this number may be even less!

   At that time, according to the current population growth rate, Xia Guo is estimated to be tens of millions!

   In fact, the current population is the result of Yang Song's suppression of the recruitment speed after many considerations. Otherwise, if there is enough food, the recruitment is released, and now it can reach 500,000!

   Yang Song only considers the strategic reserves of grain, the integration of new people, and the associated costs after technological change.

   That's why he chose to suppress the rate of recruitment, but wouldn't it violate the original population growth plan?

   In fact, there is no change in natural fertility. Yang Song knows that after the birth of the steam engine, it needs enough manpower to operate the machine and enter the factory, so he has maximized the recruitment of the people!

   The shortage of food in the past few times gave him a headache, and for this reason he had to launch a war of plunder!

   So he learned from experience and built a strategic reserve granary to prevent sudden spikes in food demand!

   Now the war has suddenly broken out, and the food has been enough to support it for a long time, and it will not have much impact on Xia Guo!

   And Yang Song, for the sake of war, even reserves a large amount of gunpowder and artillery shells, piled up with several specially built weapons warehouses, and never have to worry about not having enough ammunition!

   He thought of the artillery, and immediately asked Li Xiu: "Li Xi, how is the musket that I asked you to trial-produce?"

   With a wealth of gunpowder, how could he have forgotten the big killer of the musket, so he asked Li Xi to develop the flintlock musket!

   When Li Xi asked him what a musket was, Yang Song introduced a reduced version of the artillery, a ‘hand cannon’ that can be operated by a single person!

   In the end, it was really impossible. Yang Song drew the look of a musket according to his memory, a long butt, a long barrel, a trigger and flintlock mechanism, etc., but there were no detailed parameters, only one appearance!

  According to Yang Song's introduction, Li Xiong finally learned about such a weapon. He immediately went back to develop it, but there were many difficulties!

   The wooden **** is easy to handle, just make one according to it; even the trigger flint mechanism was changed by the flint mechanism of the artillery, and he developed it quickly.

   But only the humble barrel could not be successfully developed. The casting method was totally unqualified, because the inside of the barrel was not smooth, and it was inconsistent before and after the cavity. From Li Xi's point of view, there was no need for testing.

  It is consistent enough to roll into a barrel with iron sheet, but it can't solve the air tightness, the seal can not be closed, and the chamber should be exploded during the test!

   Finally, Li Xie tried his best to solve the barrel problem!

   So the current Li Xie had no choice but to plead guilty: "The minister is guilty, but the gun has not been developed successfully!"

   Some time ago, Li Xie had already reported to Yang Song on the progress of the development of the gun. After knowing the difficulty of developing the barrel, now he just asked with hope, he basically planned to really convict!

   He knows the technical difficulty of seamless steel pipes. Now there is no lathe, let alone machine tools. This is all driven by strong power!

   Yang Song had heard of industrial mother machines before, as if they were talking about precision machine tools, but now Xia Guo doesn't talk about precision machine tools, there are even imprecise machine tools!

   He knows the name of the'machine tool', but he doesn't know how it works, he doesn't even know how the machine tool works, he can't let Li Xiong and Shen Kuo develop it with just one name!

   After waving his hand to indicate that Li Xi is fine, he sighed inwardly, feeling sad for his knowledge. If he had studied science and engineering before, that would be great!

   It's a pity that he studied administration, all in liberal arts. This is a major that even the "high math" course that most college students talked about before has changed!

   So, he compiled part of the university's administrative management courses, which can be regarded as playing a part! ——There is no shortage of talents in this area!

   Seeing that the musket was no longer relevant, he was not in a hurry. Anyway, there is no urgent need for new weapons, so Yang Song will continue to preside over the next meeting.

   "Let’s ask the Lord, "The Code of Xia Kingdom" has been revised for many years, and it has included all the cases in recent years, which is relatively complete! Do you want to start the preparation of the "Xia Kingdom Constitution"?"

   Song Ci’s presence in Xia is very low, just like those researchers, but his role is very big!

   As the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was originally responsible for supervising and reviewing whether court trials are illegal, but Xia Guo’s case has not been a few for so many years, and there are only trivial things between neighbors.

   Even Xia Guo didn't even build a prison. Criminals who break the law are usually sentenced to reform through labor-just go mining!

   So Song Ci's task is to formulate laws, and then the meeting decides whether it is applicable, whether the sentence is appropriate, whether it is passed, etc. In fact, as long as the clauses he proposes, there is basically no problem!

  The importance of the law is self-evident! Now there is finally a relatively complete legal encyclopedia, but now there is still a basic law from the source—the Constitution!

   "Really? It has been revised and perfected?" Yang Song asked in a puzzled way. In his mind, isn't the law always being revised? Why is it over now?

   Song Ci replied: "Go back to the king~www.novelmtl.com~ is relatively complete, there are no more cases that can be added today!"

   Now Yang Song understands, that is to say, only what has happened can be formulated, and what has not happened cannot be formulated, and this is also true!

   Just like Yang Song now asks him to formulate a traffic law, what use is it? There is no car, and the other party can't make it!

   Then Yang Song thought about the formulation of the "constitution" that Song Ci said. This is really possible. He is a person who has studied the law and knows the status of the constitution—ruling the legal system!

   "The constitution is alone! I remember that after the first few articles are drawn up, I will show them to the lonely first!" Yang Song wanted to know what the constitution stipulated by Song Ci was about ruling power!

   There is also the other party who even knew the word "constitution". Ancient Huaxia didn't have this saying before, and he didn't know if the other party said what he thought was the same thing!

   But judging from Song Ci's separate proposal of the constitution, it is probably what Yang Song understood-the fundamental law of a country!

   This is either the system's credit, which instilled a lot of advanced knowledge into the rewarded talents, or the function of the library, which contains all the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign knowledge before the industrial revolution!

   Of course, he will also have knowledge of the law. If Song Ci knows the role of the "constitution", Song Ci’s proposal just now makes sense!
