"Those pursuers, like the old slaves, are also some old monsters in the palace."
Then he smiled very modestly: "I am getting old after all, and my legs and feet are not strong enough."
"If I were ten years younger... I guarantee they wouldn't find out."
The generals were sweating profusely after hearing this, thinking that if it were their place, they would all be choked to death.
A few people exchanged pleasantries again.
Li Qi knew the rules very well, so he put away the jade seal, the ring finger, and half of the tiger talisman, and returned them to Lao Zhou.
He only kept the remaining half of the Tiger Talisman.
The two of them discussed letting Lao Zhou rest here for a few days.
After the injury healed, Li Qi sent an elite army to personally escort him to Qinglian Mountain.
...
In a gorgeous and dark room, a fair-faced man was leaning on a soft couch.
He frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time, there seemed to be some movement outside the door.
"came back?"
"yes..."
He reached out and rubbed his head, and the man exhaled a breath of pain with a painful look on his face.
"Forget it...let Shadow get ready to work..."
"Ah? You...?"
"I heard that the red leaves there will be beautiful when viewed with the sunset. If you don't hurry up...you will miss it."
"yes..."
The man agreed softly and slowly retreated.
There was no more movement in the gorgeous hall, and incense was slowly burning in the incense burner.
The setting sun of dusk shines through the pale yellow window paper into the house.
It seemed so depressed and lonely.
"I really want to... have a good sleep...!"
...
"boom!"
The next morning, on the tranquil Qinglian Mountain.
People who were enjoying a cozy breakfast were almost given a heart attack by a loud noise.
"Cough...cough...cough..."
In the courtyard of the Firearms Bureau, a dozen people staggered out of the experimental room that was filled with thick smoke.
Lying on the ground coughing crazily...
Seeing this group of people, there were foreigners and locals, but their faces were all the same black.
His hair was burnt and his clothes were in tatters.
At this time, someone walked out of the house again.
This man had black ash on his face, burnt yellow hair, and ragged clothes.
The dozen or so people who came out earlier were able to get by.
Standing outside the door, blinking in confusion, it took him a while to realize what he was doing.
He yelled at the people sitting on the ground: "Unloyal! Presumptuous! Disloyal!"
"At the critical moment, if you throw me in, you will run away first!"
Among them, a foreigner with white smoke coming from his head shook his head and said: "No way!"
"If the weapon is simplified to that level, it must be redesigned, ahem..."
The black man waved his hand: "That's why we have to experiment. Let's think of a solution."
"Just combine the advantages of running fire and electric guns!"
"Then not only are we not afraid of rain, but we also fire more frequently."
At this point, an old man with half his beard burned off affirmed: "That's true."
"And after simplifying the muskets, the cost has also been reduced. A soldier can carry more than a hundred of them."
"Wouldn't it be nice to replace it with another one?"
While everyone was studying each other's words, Ling Yihan and Situ Yan ran in with their people after hearing the effect.
"What's going on? Where is the commander?"
Following Ye Zhiyu's initiative, not long ago, the Seventh Battalion of the Qinglian Sword Sect was completely renamed the Qinglian Army.
Nan Yanxi is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Qinglian Army!
Ling Yihan and Situ Yan looked around anxiously, but all they saw were black eggs.
"Oh, what are you talking about? I'm here!"
The two women turned their heads when they heard the words, only to see a man behind him with his hands on his hips and a face as black as coal briquettes.
Seeing them both turning their heads to look at each other, they grinned.
Those teeth look particularly white on the dark face.
After a brief interlude, everyone entered the discussion work again.
During this period of time, several types of artillery and firecrackers have been initially produced.
After all, Nan Yanxi has detailed production drawings in her mind and has seen the production process countless times.
Several types of fire cannons that are relatively simple to make are already being produced in small batches.
Nan Yanxi planned to equip the Xuanwu Battalion under his command with some experimental equipment first.
Let’s see how effective it is. After all, the response from grassroots soldiers is very valuable.
Currently, Qinglian Firearms Manufacturing Bureau in Nanyanxi is mainly engaged in scientific research and development.
The current question was raised by a few of the masters who love to delve into research.
The rate of fire of these firearms is so slow that every time a shot is fired, the gunpowder must be refilled, the projectiles inserted, and compacted with a rod.
As for the electric gun, the rate of fire is increased because of the sub-gun.
But the manufacturing of that gun is too complex, and the price remains high.
A soldier can only fight with six or seven soldiers. When the battle begins, bang bang bang bang a few times, the fight is over.
Moreover, all the current firearms are afraid of water and moisture.
It rains a lot in the south. Once it rains, everyone has to lie down.
So the old scholar thought of simplifying the gun to reduce its production cost and production process.
Then add the characteristics of a tap fire gun that is not afraid of water. Wouldn't that be beautiful?
In fact, from the perspective of modern people, it is just a bullet used to kill the current process.
But as one of the ancients, if you could come up with this idea, you would have made hundreds of years of progress.
Especially the primer and firing device, both are big problems.
However, before that, it did not affect Nan Yanxi from making various types of firearms.
If you put it on a boat or on a tower to defend the city, you won't have to worry about the rain.
At that time, as long as it rains, I will retreat into the city to defend.
If you dare to attack, you can hide in the tower or cabin and bombard them with cannons.
When the rain stops, I can lead my team to attack again. It won't affect me at all.
Nan Yanxi also thought about it and asked these guys to study it carefully.
As long as they can research new things, they will be rewarded with generous rewards.
As long as the research is not completed within the stipulated time, the monthly payment will be deducted!
Don't worry, they don't care.
As for my side, I will mass-produce it first. At worst, I will equip every fire blunderbuss with a blunderbuss sword.
After the fight, just engage in melee combat, and keep half of the crossbowmen to maintain the long-range supply capability.
Will this problem be solved soon?
Speaking of which, this world really doesn't even have the concept of a crossbow.
The troops are only equipped with various types of longbows, and crossbows are considered a novelty in this world.
Looking back on China, we have had very powerful hard crossbows since the Qin Dynasty.
This actually makes Nan Yanxi feel extremely proud.
The bow must be stretched with both arms. The archer controls the bow with one hand and pulls the string with the other.
In this way, its tension must not exceed the arm strength of the person controlling the bow.
The crossbow is different. Not only can it be pulled with both arms, but it can also be pulled with the strength of the feet or waist, or even the whole body.
Therefore, crossbows are much stronger than bows in terms of range and lethality.
When shooting with a bow, the archer draws the bow with both hands and his eyes must aim at the same time.
But you can't draw the bow with both hands for too long, so aiming will be hasty.
The crossbow can be drawn in advance, loaded with arrows, and fired again when it is aimed.
In addition, there is a mountain on the crossbow to assist aiming, so you can shoot more accurately.
