Chapter 397： Various research progress

After a while, one of the many R&D personnel raised his head and replied to Jerome Bonaparte: "Your Majesty, we cannot give you a satisfactory answer now, but from what I have learned about artillery for many years, This breech block has the potential to change the entire artillery development."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "However, a lot of experiments are still needed!"

Hearing the words of the R&D staff, Jerome Bonaparte nodded with satisfaction and responded: "I know that a mature artillery needs to be improved and adjusted many times before it can be used in the battlefield. Therefore, I am also willing to give it to you. Enough time to finish!

However, you must assure me. The next product that comes out must shoot farther than this one!

I once heard a proverb: caliber is justice, range is truth.

Back then, the First Empire relied on powerful artillery to attack the whole of Europe. I hope you can also inherit the wishes of your fathers and send artillery shells to their positions when the enemy still does not find us! do you understand? "

"Understood!" Everyone present responded to Jerome Bonaparte in unison. It can be seen from their facial reactions that they can't wait for the next round of artillery research.

For this group of weapons nerds and patriots, there is nothing more intriguing than making weapons and defending their homeland.

Afterwards, Jerome Bonaparte solemnly handed the design drawings of the wedge breech to the leader of the research and development team, and instructed him not to circulate the drawings.

The leader of the research and development team, who held the manuscript of the wedge-type breech breech in both hands, also solemnly assured Jerome Bonaparte that he would do his best to develop the latest model of artillery for France.

The R&D team left the room with the encouragement of Jerome Bonaparte.

Only Jerome Bonaparte and Basilio were left in the room.

"Try to meet their needs, they are the future of our France! The treatment should not be less at all, and people should not be allowed to do things with passion!" Recalling that a certain research institute in a previous life forced half of the researchers back to operate. Jerome Bonaparte once again urged Basilio to improve the treatment of R&D personnel immediately.

"I will do my best!" Basilio naturally understood the importance that Jerome Bonaparte placed on artillery research, and he hurriedly responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had temporarily solved the artillery problem, turned to ask about the situation of the rifle R&D team: "How is the situation of the rifle R&D team?"

"Not very good!" Basilio shook his head and responded to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Is it impossible to solve the airtightness of the breech gun? Or is it impossible to design a gun with a longer range?" Jerome Bonaparte asked again.

"Both!" Basilio replied to Jerome Bonaparte, and then he told Jerome Bonaparte the doubts in his heart: "I have heard about those research and development The members of the group said that if the breech gun cannot solve the airtightness, the power of the bullets fired will be greatly reduced... Although it is said that the firing speed of the breech gun is indeed faster than the original, but after a few times, it must be It is necessary to clean up the unburned gunpowder in the gun. From this point of view, the comprehensive ability of the breech gun is actually similar to that of the breech gun..."

Basilio rambled a lot about the shortcomings of the breech gun, which made Jerome Bonaparte feel an inexplicable annoyance in his heart.

"What are you trying to say?" Jerome Bonaparte asked in a slightly bored tone.

"Your Majesty, should we consider improving the breech gun, instead of stepping into a field we are not familiar with!" Basilio asked carefully: "We have many excellent employees in the breech gun field, all of whom have Ability to improve the breech gun!"

"I can tell you clearly that the existing Mignet is already the pinnacle of the breech gun, and the starting point of the breech gun has just begun. I can bet you that the future must be the world of the breech gun! It is better to take this opportunity to develop a breech gun with better performance!” Jerome Bonaparte criticized Basilio and others for their conservatism in rifles in a stern tone. Thought, he understood that in this day and age, not just one Basilio, but thousands of fellows like Basilio.

It is blunt to say that in the whole of Europe except Prussia, all countries are the supporters of the front and rear guns, and this huge force is even more fierce than the battle between the front and rear guns.

Jerome Bonaparte had to fight with determination against the throngs of muskets.

In order to express his support for breech guns, Jerome Bonaparte said bluntly to Basilio: "You tell the members of the rifle development team! If anyone does not want to study breech guns, then they can leave now. Team! Stop babbling and disrupting the progress of the project! Without them, I don't believe that no one wants to study breech guns!"

Facing the uncompromising Jerome Bonaparte, Basilio naturally did not dare to say a word for them. He immediately assured Jerome Bonaparte that he would definitely convey his request to them.

After the rifle incident came to an end, Jerome Bonaparte turned to inquire about Pasteur's research progress.

"How is Professor Pasteur's cholera and typhoid research going?" Jerome Bonaparte turned to ask Basilio about the injury and cholera.

Now the pace of the war is getting closer and closer, once the army enters the Varna area, it is likely to face acclimatization, which will lead to the emergence of diseases such as cholera.

Historically, there have been more large-scale non-combat attritions of the British and French coalition forces than combat attritions. Jerome Bonaparte did not want his own army to die on the battlefield, but died in the barracks.

Since the military reform in December last year, Jérôme Bonaparte has issued regulations to the military hospitals in the barracks. For example, medical equipment should be disinfected with hot boiling water, lime water should be used for isolation during cholera, and patients should be managed separately. Regular disinfection during the working period of doctors and other measures that later generations seem to be accustomed to.

Although these regulations may not necessarily be implemented by many people, at least they can let medical staff know how to deal with the problem at the most critical time.

Minimizing non-combat attrition as much as possible is the ultimate goal of Jerome Bonaparte.

Pasteur's research is the last shackle of Jerome Bonaparte's **** for the army.

"Professor Pasteur's research is in the final stage! I believe it won't be long before we can completely overcome typhoid and cholera!"

Speaking of Pasteur, Basilio's words were filled with respect.

Cholera and typhoid, two diseases that have plagued Europe for countless years and killed millions of people in Europe, are actually in a small research institute, a "bad" university professor and dozens of obscure researchers Under the leadership of , it will be conquered in less than 2 years.

Although some sacrifices are inevitable during the study of the principle of germs and the manufacture of qualified vaccines, for the whole of France, this is an unprecedented "miracle".

And Basilio was the one who witnessed this "miracle". Thinking of this, Basilio couldn't help but be filled with pride.

At the same time, he is also full of awe for Jerome Bonaparte. His Majesty the Emperor always proves his truth with repeated actions.

People like this...people like this...Damn it, why did I question your majesty's decision just now...

Jerome Bonaparte suddenly discovered that Basilio's gaze towards him was not just admiration, but even a hint of fanaticism.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to call M. Pasteur to interview you!" Basilio said to Jerome Bonaparte with a more modest attitude.

"This is no use!" Jerome Bonaparte rejected Basilio's suggestion, and then added: "You must continue to meet all Pasteur's needs. If there is any need that you cannot meet, You can also report directly to me!"

"Yes!" Basilio responded with a sonorous voice.

After explaining all the questions, Jerome Bonaparte once again took Vernia's hand, and under the **** of Basilio, he got into the carriage that had come over and left.

On the way back to the Tuileries, Jerome Bonaparte pondered the right person to make a breech gun.

Jerome Bonaparte, who had thought about it all the way, finally thought of a "gun genius" when he took the first step out of the carriage!

Although he was still young, it did not prevent Jerome Bonaparte from digging him up!

"I figured it out!" Jerome Bonaparte shouted excitedly, and then stepped on the air. If the fast-eyed Vernia had grabbed his arm, Jerome Bonaparte would have almost escaped from the carriage. fall down.

With the help of Vernia, Jerome Bonaparte, who was barely standing still, had not had time to express his thanks to Vernia, he excitedly took Vernia's hand and entered the Douy Lerey Palace.

"Where is the Queen?" Jerome Bonaparte, who entered the Tuileries Palace, couldn't wait to ask Mocar, the room where Queen Augusta was.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is drinking tea with Madame!" Mercury said to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Never mind, take me there now!" Jerome Bonaparte said to Mocar.

Looking at the over-excited emperor in front of him, Mokar could only follow the emperor's order and bring him to the door of the room where the queen was.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is inside!" Mocar pointed to the door of the room and said to Jerome Bonaparte.

Jerome Bonaparte immediately pushed open the door. After the room was opened, the scene inside made Jerome Bonaparte's fiery heart instantly drop to freezing point.

Because the entire room was not only limited to Augusta and his wife, but also some people whom Jerome Bonaparte did not want to see.

"His Majesty?"
