Chapter 23 ? Build a Mortar

Shang Ziyou held a piece of pastry and handed it to Zhu Muchen's mouth and said: "Little prince, please try this mung bean cake. This slave made it for you."

"Well, it's delicious." Zhu Muchen took a whole piece of mung bean cake into his mouth in one bite.

Shang Ziyou wiped Zhu Muchen's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

Bai Xiaoman placed a small bowl in front of Zhu Muchen and said with a smile, "Young prince, please also try the lotus seed soup made by this slave."

"Hiccup~" Zhu Muchen burped and said with a smile on his face: "It's so delicious."

Zhu Muchen hadn't seen the two maids for several months. Today, when the two of them came back to him, he felt a little hot and horny! He stretched out his hands to hug the two maids and sat them on his lap. His hands fell on

The position of the two maids' waists, and then whispered something softly in their ears.

"Now, now?" Shang Ziyou said with a blush on her face, while Bai Xiaoman on the other side lowered her head and said nothing with her face flushed. Then the two maids got up and walked to the bed.

Left and right put down the brocade curtains on both sides of the bed, and then the two of them lowered their heads and unbuttoned their collars shyly.

Zhu Muchen grabbed a piece of mung bean cake on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he stood up, chewed the mung bean cake, looked at the two maids in front of him, and walked quickly towards the bed with a smile on his face.

"Ahem~" A cough suddenly came from behind Zhu Muchen, and suddenly he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

"Father? Why are you here?" Zhu Muchen held up his belt and turned around to look at him in confusion. The two maids hurriedly buttoned up their collars, saluted Zhu Meng, and then walked out of the room with their rosy cheeks lowered.

Door.

"Chen'er, it seems that the king should come over later." Zhu Meng looked at the backs of the two maids and said with a smile.

Zhu Muchen tied his belt awkwardly and said, "Father, do you have something to do with your son?"

Zhu Meng picked up a piece of mung bean cake and took a bite. He looked at Zhu Muchen and said, "In a few days, he will lead his army to join the imperial army and go north. I came here specifically to see you today."

"Father, you'd better take your children with you." Zhu Muchen responded after hearing the words.

Zhu Meng patted Zhu Muchen on the shoulder and said: "My father knows about your filial piety. The battlefield is nothing but a child's play. You should stay with your mother and wait for me to come back."

Zhu Muchen heard the words and responded: "Don't worry, father, I will take good care of my mother."

Zhu Meng pinched Zhu Muchen's face and said with a smile: "Let's get married in two days. I don't know when I will come back after I leave."

"I will obey the arrangements of my father, queen and mother." Zhu Muchen replied, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Zhu Meng nodded and said, "Well, I have other things to deal with and I'll leave first."

"Father, go slowly." Zhu Muchen bowed his hands and said.

Zhu Meng walked a few steps and suddenly seemed to remember something again. He turned around and looked at Zhu Muchen and said, "Next time, remember to lock the door, Chen'er."

..... Zhu Muchen nodded awkwardly upon hearing this.

"Haha~" Zhu Meng looked at Zhu Muchen and laughed, turned around and left without saying anything.

Zhu Muchen looked at Zhu Meng's back as he walked away, and then rode a rocket out of the palace with a somewhat depressed mood.

"Dang~dang~"

Zhu Muchen stopped in front of a blacksmith shop. The fire in the furnace seemed to be burning day and night, reflecting the glow inside the house.

A strong old man and a strong young man went into battle shirtless. On the anvil, the young man wielded a sledgehammer and knocked; the old man held a small hammer and clicked. One big and one small, one big and one small.

It's clear and the sound is very rhythmic. It's very nice and not lacking.

A beautiful young girl squatted in front of the stove, sweating profusely, pushing and pulling the bellows, huffing and puffing, and burning the fire very vigorously. The red-hot coals shone brightly under the force of the wind, as if they were about to turn into water. There was a fire next to the anvil.

There is a large wooden bucket filled with cold water. Every time you hit the iron several times, you have to use pliers to put the iron tool into the water to cool it.

Zhu Muchen is an engineering student. Although he has never practiced ironmaking, he knows that this is quenching. After quenching, the iron can make it harder and more durable in the future. After quenching, it must be tempered, which means it continues to burn in the furnace.

After it is red-hot, place it on the anvil and then strike it. With the level of forging in this period, it is not an easy task to make an iron tool. It can take as short as a day and a half, or as long as a year and a half.

Zhu Muchen looked at the woman pushing the bellows with some obsession. She was dressed in gray and her dignified appearance revealed an indescribable sense of charisma. Her starry eyes were twinkling with starlight, with a bit of coldness, and her whole body was filled with a sense of charm.

Repelling people and indifference thousands of miles away, such a monster, with unparalleled elegance, black hair pouring down like clouds, scattered around the waist, with a bit of scattering, elegant temperament, as gentle as jade, as pure as the sky

Banished Immortal looks very comfortable, and even feels like it gets better and better the more you look at it.

The sound of "Dang~" made Zhu Muchen come to his senses. He patted his face hard. He felt that he was a bit animalistic today. He already had two beautiful little wives at home.

He even fantasizes about other women. In modern times, this guy is a pure scumbag.

The old man noticed Zhu Muchen and shouted hurriedly: "Stop quickly, His Royal Highness is here." Zhu Muchen is now a celebrity in Wuchang City. Putting aside the supermarket and the three-place award, as far as the rent-free farmland is concerned, let

He has a high status in the hearts of many people in the city.

The old man led the girl and the young man to kneel on the ground and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness."

Seeing this, Zhu Muchen hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "No need to be polite, get up quickly."

The old man looked at the little pony outside and said with a squinted smile: "Is His Royal Highness here to make a saddle?"

When Zhu Muchen heard this, he looked back at the rocket and shook his head. Then he took out a blueprint from his arms and handed it to the old man and said, "Old man, can you help me build this?"

The young man on the side came up curiously and looked at the drawing in the old man's hand and asked doubtfully: "What is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

The old man scolded the man in a low voice: "Shut up, there are no rules." After hearing this, the man lowered his head and retreated to the back. Then the old man bowed his hands to Zhu Muchen and said in salute: "I don't know how to teach my son, and I offend His Highness, Your Highness.

Don't blame the dog." The old man has been a man for decades and knows that he has to be careful when communicating with this dignitary. How many people have lost their lives due to unintentional mistakes. What's more, Zhu Muchen is still the heir, and during these years, the royal family members want to take the lives of ordinary people.

, it’s just a matter of words.

Zhu Muchen waved his hand and said, "Don't be cautious, it's okay. This one is called a mortar, and this oval one is called a grenade. Do you think we can make one?"

"Mortar? Grenades?" The old man was a little confused when he heard this. He looked at the drawings Zhu Muchen gave him carefully, stroking his white beard as if thinking about something. After a moment, he said: "Although this hollow iron pipe

It’s difficult to forge, but it can still be forged with some time, but the protruding needle shape inside the iron pipe is a bit difficult.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Muchen looked at the old man and said, "This is the firing pin. This is the key position of the mortar. Do you think it can be built?"

The old man nodded, shook his head and said: "I can try my best to try." Then the old man pointed at the grenade drawing and said: "I have never made these small iron beads, and this round ring.

Shape, what are these two things?”

"This is a steel ball, and this is a spring installed in the slot." Zhu Muchen explained.

The old man carefully folded the blueprint and put it in his arms. He held it in his hand and said, "I'll try my best. If it doesn't work, I hope His Highness will not blame you."

Hearing this, Zhu Muchen said: "Please rest assured, even if it doesn't work, I will never blame you." In fact, he also had a try mentality. If he really couldn't get it to work, there was nothing he could do. The Hongyi Cannon wanted to change it to a lighter one.

He found it very difficult with the current level of forging, so he could only try to make this kind of mortar. It was small and easy to carry, mainly because the cost was extremely low.

Moreover, the principle of the mortar is also very simple. After repeated consideration, he felt that this mortar did not require too high a technical content and was most likely to be forged at the current level of forging.

The main principle of the mortar is very simple. A grenade is loaded into the muzzle and fired. There is a firing pin at the rear of the barrel. After the grenade is inserted into the barrel, it will fall down the tube and hit the firing pin to detonate the gunpowder at the bottom.

The gunpowder in the chamber explodes, creating pressure and ejecting the grenade.

The technology of this mortar is mainly on the grenade. In addition to filling the bottom with gunpowder, the head of the shell uses an impact fuse similar to the fuse device of a mine. It relies on an internal safety supported by steel balls and springs. After the mortar is fired, it passes through the impact fuse.

The inertia releases the internal safety, so the grenade explodes when it touches the ground.

Zhu Muchen calmed down and asked with a smile: "What do you call me?"

"The common man Xu Liang, this dog Xu Jie, and this my daughter Xu Xin." The old man introduced them one by one after hearing the words.

When Xu Xin Zhu Muchen heard this, he glanced at the girl behind the old man, then took out two ingots and said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, please excuse me, here is the deposit."

Xu Liang stretched out his hands and took the two Ding Yuanbao, bowed and said in salute: "Thank you, Your Highness, I will try my best."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Muchen hurriedly looked away at Xu Xin and said to Xu Liang: "Well, okay, then I will go back today."

"His Royal Highness, walk slowly." Xu Liang and Xu Jie bowed their hands and saluted. Xu Xin bowed to Zhu Muchen and said nothing. Zhu Muchen glanced at Xu Xin intentionally or unintentionally, then turned and left.

Xu Liang watched Zhu Muchen's leaving figure disappear before his eyes, turned around and handed Xu Xin some gold ingots and said: "You are not allowed to push the bellows anymore. Use this money to buy some nice new clothes. Next time the Crown Prince comes, you can ask for it."

Be more enthusiastic."

Xu Jie looked at Xu Liang in confusion and asked, "Why is this dad?"

"Shut up, you know nothing." Xu Liang scolded, then looked at Xu Xin and said, "Did you hear that?"

Xu Xin did not take the ingot that Xu Liang gave him, turned around and walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "I'm going to cook."

Xu Liang put the Yuanbao into his arms and quickly followed, holding Xu Xin's hand and saying earnestly: "Did you hear that? Dad is doing it for your own good, you know?"

Xu Xin gently broke away from Xu Liang's hand and said, "I understand, Dad." Then she walked towards the house.

"Alas~" Xu Liang looked at Xu Xin's back and sighed and shook his head.
