After seeing the power of muskets, the female She said she wanted to see the power of artillery.
Ye Xiaochuan only had five artillery shells, so he only planned to test four of them and leave one shell as a sample.
Ye Xiaochuan set up the artillery about five hundred feet away from the imperial city wall, loaded the ammunition, and lit the fuse.
With a deafening bang, a three-foot-square hole appeared on the city wall, and countless broken wall bricks fell from the top.
Four cannonballs were fired at four distances, from five hundred feet to eight hundred feet.
Everyone was eight hundred feet away, and the impact point dropped a lot, but it still made a big hole in the city wall.
At first, everyone thought that the musket could already cause fatal damage to the giant army and the madman army, and could definitely be used as a secret weapon in the future catastrophe of the human world.
After everyone saw the power of artillery, they lost interest in muskets.
This thing is a big killer on the mortal battlefield.
Standing at the foot of the imperial city, the female She and countless female soldiers of the Black Feather Army raised their heads and stared blankly at the large crater created by the artillery bombardment.
After a long time, the female She came back to her senses.
She said nothing and just asked Nu'e to take Ye Xiaochuan and others into the imperial city.
The women of Tiannu Kingdom are no longer as novel as meeting men for the first time ten years ago, and the appearance of these three stinky men, Ye Xiaochuan, Shang Yongye, and Liu Fusheng, has no longer caused people to panic.
Arriving at the main hall of the palace, the female She sat on the throne.
Ye Xiaochuan and others were sitting at the bottom.
There is no scene of hundreds of civil and military officials attending the court ten years ago, and the hall now looks particularly cold.
Ye Xiaochuan explained his purpose of coming here. He wanted to rely on the mature smelting technology of Tiannu Kingdom to refine muskets and artillery in large quantities to deal with the catastrophic battles in the future.
The five ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang are located in the mountains, and the smelting industry is not developed. However, there are a large amount of copper and iron ores in the mountains of Southern Xinjiang, which can provide the raw materials needed for muskets and artillery.
Kelsang had no objection and fully supported Ye Xiaochuan's proposal. But Kelsang was not a philanthropist. She said: "Our southern Xinjiang can provide iron ore and copper mines for refining muskets and artillery, but muskets and
After the artillery is developed, we need to divide some in southern Xinjiang. There are few people in southern Xinjiang, so we don’t need too many, as long as we
Forty percent is enough.”
Nu'e immediately said: "Forty percent? Wizard Gesang is joking. According to statistics, there are less than eight million armored warriors from the five ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang, and the rest are all old and weak women and children who cannot go to the battlefield.
And our Kingdom of Heavenly Lady has now invested 12 million troops in the center, and in the next three years, we can send at least 18 million troops to the human battlefield.
The number of our Red Feather Army is four times that of the soldiers from Southern Xinjiang. You want to take away 40%, which is absolutely impossible, at most 20%, no more."
Gesang refused to give in and said: "Southern Xinjiang is vast and sparsely populated, with many mountains and dense forests. Mining requires a lot of manpower. I don't know how many people will die. We will divide it into 40%. It is definitely not many." Nu'e said: "
You are only responsible for providing the ore. After the ore is transported to the Kingdom of Heavenly Lady, we still need to invest huge manpower in refining it. After the refined iron and copper ore is extracted, the guns and artillery can be refined. This requires huge amounts of manpower.
I can only give you 20% of the huge human and financial resources."
Twenty percent was unacceptable to Kelsang.
Forty percent is unacceptable to Nu'e.
The guns and artillery haven't been refined yet, and they haven't even seen the drawings yet, and they have already begun to argue about the future distribution ratio between the two sides.
Both sides know what the bottom line is, which is 30-70.
It’s just that no one wants to make concessions themselves first.
Female She watched the argument between the two and did not participate in it. She turned to Ye Xiaochuan and said: "Mr. Ye, have you ever thought that although these two new weapons can help the world fight against catastrophes, they are too powerful.
, once it comes out, it cannot be refrigerated or sold when the catastrophe is over.
Destruction will definitely be passed down forever. This is just the first generation of muskets and artillery. With human wisdom, muskets and artillery will be continuously upgraded. At that time, their power will be greater, and even more will be derived based on them.
Incredibly powerful, incredibly terrifying weapon
device.
By then, even the top cultivators will not be able to deal with those weapons.
The pattern of the Three Realms has existed for tens of millions of years. Although there have been occasional killings and catastrophes, the pattern has never been broken.
These two new weapons are very good, but I am worried that their appearance will break this balance."
The main hall, which was a little noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.
Everyone's expression is very strange.
These young people, after seeing the power of muskets and artillery, were all excited, imagining that they would be equipped in large quantities to the army in the future and used to kill heavenly soldiers.
They have all forgotten the terrible impact these two new weapons may have on the human world and the three realms.
Seeing that Ye Xiaochuan was silent, Her Majesty She continued: "People are extremely innovative. At the same time, they are also extremely greedy.
Once mortals master weapons that can kill cultivators, it will be impossible for immortals and mortals to coexist peacefully, and a war between immortals and mortals will definitely break out in the future. I don’t know how many living beings will pay their lives for it."
Everyone began to nod slightly.
Obviously, they all agree with what she said.
The reason why mortals are respectful to cultivators is because their strength is against cultivators, so they regard cultivators as gods.
When they have weapons in their hands that can compete with cultivators, they will gradually lose their respect for cultivators.
There will definitely be a conflict between the two sides in the future, and the conflict will last for a long, long time.
The final result must be that after both sides suffer losses, the cultivators sadly withdraw from the stage of history.
Unless the cultivators can kill all mortals, destroy all information about black powder and firearms, and let the civilization of the Three Realms start over.
However, by that time, the world of cultivation will also be destroyed.
When all mortals die, there will be no fresh blood to replenish the world of cultivation.
The end result is that all civilization will be destroyed.
After Ye Xiaochuan was silent for a while, he said: "I was also worried about what your Majesty said.
However, the wheel of history always moves forward, just like the black gunpowder developed by the Mu family siblings, which was hidden by the Mu God for 160,000 years, doesn't it still reappear in the world?
I once heard a saying, which was said by the eternal Dharma God in ancient times: natural selection, survival of the fittest.
No matter what kind of harsh environment, creatures will always find their own way out and form a new balance point.
Even if we refrigerate the muskets and artillery and destroy all the data, other craftsmen in the world will develop them before long. This is the trend of the times, and it is definitely not something we can stop."
