Chapter 5073 Improvement

Musket and artillery, these two brand-new names were born in Ye Xiaochuan's mouth so casually.

The two little girls have not realized how much impact the birth of muskets and artillery will have on the entire Three Realms. They are now discussing these two names in a low voice.

The reputation is very domineering, and can compete with Yao Guang's Tian Lei Bang. Although the names of the two are not included, the two girls are still very satisfied with the names given by Ye Xiaochuan.

Ye Xiaochuan valued muskets and artillery very much, and originally planned to leave Cangyun after finishing Junior Sister Xiaozhu's dumplings tonight.

For the samples of muskets and artillery, as well as the drawings designed by Xiao Qi, Ye Xiaochuan decided to stay in Cangyun Mountain for three more days.

This is an extremely risky decision.

Most of the sect leaders who came to attend the Cangyun meeting would leave within a day or two. It was indeed dangerous for Ye Xiaochuan to stay in Cangyun.

Apart from anything else, if Ye Xiaochuan knew that Yu Jizi had been absorbing the yin energy of the dead in Tianshui City, Yu Jizi would not tolerate him.

However, Ye Xiaochuan still chose to stay for three more days.

In addition to the importance of guns and artillery, he was also betting that the jade machine would not attack him at this time.

He has not revealed Yu Jizi's secrets during this period of time, and he is about to leave the world and go to the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness, so Yu Jizi will not choose to do anything to him at this time.

Let Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi seize the time to work overtime to improve the muskets and artillery. These two girls are also greedy masters. There is no problem in helping Ye Xiaochuan improve the muskets and artillery, but they have not had a decent meal in three days.

Now that my chest is pressed against my back due to hunger, how can I still have the strength to work? I need Ye Xiaochuan, who is skilled in Yi Ya's craftsmanship.

, just cook them a delicious meal.

Ye Xiaochuan couldn't resist the two girls, so he had to agree.

However, when he stayed to cook for the two girls, he also had an additional request, which was to ask the two girls not to tell anyone else the secrets of the guns and artillery. This was not a unique treasure, it was just a weapon used by mortals.

The two girls succeeded in their invention. After feeling the thrill of success, they would no longer take these two small inventions seriously. Regarding Ye Xiaochuan's additional request, they thought

I agreed without thinking.

Ye Xiaochuan once again became the chef of Dian Shao, cooking delicious food for his two daughters in the simple kitchen outside the ancestral hall, while the two daughters redrawn the drawings and made clay molds inside the ancestral hall.

Originally, the two girls wanted to move the studio outside, so they could watch Chef Ye's cooking skills while working.

Ye Xiaochuan sternly rejected it.

He didn't want the secrets of guns and artillery to be discovered by outsiders. They were secret weapons for mortals on the battlefield.

The drawings of the muskets only need to be slightly improved.

Artillery is more troublesome.

Because the design concept of the artillery is to eject a solid iron ball with a diameter of seven inches, and the range must reach a thousand feet.

To meet these two requirements, the impact thrust must be increased.

In this case, more black powder will be filled inside.

The power of black powder is too great. If it is filled with too much, it will explode in a closed space. First of all, the risk of exploding the chamber must be considered.

If you want to prevent the bore from exploding, you must thicken the barrel, and cast iron cannons are not enough and must be replaced with bronze alloys that are more flexible.

The weight of such a huge cannon body will exceed one thousand kilograms, or even reach several thousand kilograms. This requires the consumption of a large amount of bronze and steel, and transportation of such a bulky thing is also a big problem. After all, it is for mortals to use, and mortals can transport it.

It's not practical to carry such a heavy thing with your shoulders and hands, so you have to give it to this person

The thing clicks on the wheel.

However, these difficulties did not stump the talented girl Princess Xiaoqi.

With the prototype of the musket, she has already improved the design of the artillery and has a big direction.

She is only responsible for the design. As for how much material is required and how heavy it is, she does not consider it.

Before Ye Xiaochuan's rice was cooked, Xiao Qi had already designed new drawings for improved muskets and artillery.

Because of Ye Xiaochuan's intervention, the two girls were particularly concerned about this matter. Xiao Qi and Gui Yatou also forgot about the grudges they had fought for a day and night, put aside their past grudges, and exchanged in-depth opinions and suggestions on the design details.

After everyone felt that the design drawing was perfect, they proudly showed it to Ye Xiaochuan.

Ye Xiaochuan knew nothing about weapon refining, but Ye Cha in the Sea of ​​Souls was somewhat involved in the art of weapon refining.

After seeing the improved design drawings of muskets and artillery, Ye Cha was full of praise.

Ye Xiaochuan believed in Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi's professional skills, and also believed in Ye Cha's vision.

He immediately took action and asked the two women to quickly develop improved muskets and artillery according to the design drawings.

The second daughter stopped working, saying that she was too hungry and had to wait until dinner before she could work.

Ye Xiaochuan was very helpless, but he wanted to ask for help from others and was not easy to get angry, so he could only continue to be his own Chef Ye.

The ingredients were all prepared by Xiaoqi and Gui Yatou, and seven large bowls and eight large plates of delicious dishes were cooked, which gave these two lazy girls the motivation to work again.

The dinner was served in the evening, and the two girls ate it happily.

Everyone praised Ye Xiaochuan's cooking skills, which have made great progress in recent years.

During this period, Yang Shijiu came to see Ye Xiaochuan once, but Ye Xiaochuan sent him away. After that, no one came to the ancestral hall again.

The meal lasted until the second watch. The two girls were arguing that they were too tired and wanted to go to bed. They also asked Ye Xiaochuan not to leave tonight and stay to talk with them by candlelight.

Whether this is to sleep or to hold a candle and talk at night, who knows.

Ye Xiaochuan no longer tolerates them. If he backs off, the two girls will push themselves further, threatening to break off their relationship if they don't work anymore.

When the two girls saw that Ye Xiaochuan was really anxious, they thought that they could not do without such an interesting friend as Ye Xiaochuan, so they had to continue working.

Of course, I had to drag Ye Xiaochuan to work together.

He also said something about men and women matching each other so that they would not be tired from work.

Ye Xiaochuan finally saw the advantages of these two troublemakers. Although they laughed and cursed all day long without plastic surgery, their hands-on ability was really strong.

It is much faster than the slow dwarf weapon refining masters.

In less than an hour, Xiao Qi had reshaped a mold out of clay.

As soon as the clay mold was formed, the ghost girl had already taken out the wooden butt of the musket.

Using Samadhi True Fire, a pot of molten iron was quickly melted and poured into the clay mold.

Then break open the soil mold, pour out the iron pipe, and put it into cold water to cool.

Next, Xiaoqi began to use a large amount of clay to make molds for the cannon, while Gui Yatou began to select hard wood to make wheels for the cannon.

As for Ye Xiaochuan, he was not idle either. He was ordered by the two women to polish the barrel of the musket, especially the inner wall of the barrel. It must be smooth and free of burrs. After all, the barrel is made from a clay mold and there are no burrs.

If there are too many burrs, they need to be carefully polished and smoothed so that the projectiles can be fired better.
