Walking more than a thousand meters further, you can see a large building with panicked figures, bright fires, and the deafening sound of "kicking and banging," as hundreds of people are busy here.
When we arrived, we saw a large square filled with all kinds of strange equipment.
The outer structure of wood, the inner core composed of metal gears and springs, includes siege engines, catapults, and giant crossbows. A few of them can be named, but most of them can't be understood.
Especially an object that resembled a glider. Li Wenhao was so shocked that he almost thought he had bumped into a fellow countryman...!
"Gu Yazi, come and see General Zhengxi!"
Kubo ran into a group of people and dragged a fat old man out: "General, this is Master Gu Yazi!"
"Li Wenhao has met the master!"
Li Wenhao calmed down and bowed his hand to Gu Yazi. This old man is not simple. He is definitely an academician on earth.
Gu Yazi looks like he is in his early sixties, with a rosy face, perhaps because he is often close to the stove, and dark skin. Overall, he is a fat old man with a tall build.
"You are Li Wenhao who liberated the slaves. You are very good. Young man, you are good!"
When Gu Yazi saw Li Wenhao, the original dissatisfaction on his face disappeared, and he returned the gift seriously.
"Thank you, General, for restoring my freedom. Unlike some people who say nice things but don't do human affairs!"
"Gu Yazi, when have I ever wronged you?"
Kubo immediately jumped to his feet. He usually doesn't give him face, but today he embarrassed him in front of the general. It's really abominable!
"That fierce woman, wasn't it you who sent me to bully me?" Gu Yazi seemed to be even more angry than Kubo, waving his fists as if he wanted to hit someone.
"A fierce woman?"
Li Wenhao was a little unhappy. How could a woman bully a master-level national treasure? He glared and scolded Kubo: "What kind of fierce woman dares to disrespect the master, she will be executed immediately!"
"Old minister, let's do it now!"
"etc!"
Unexpectedly, Kubo agreed happily, but it was Gu Yazi who objected, looking very anxious: "General, there is no need to execute me, or else, you can be my wife!"
"Be a wife!"
Okay, now it's Li Wenhao's turn to be confused. What kind of magic operation is this? He was gnashing his teeth in hatred before, why did he want to be his wife at the next turn?
"Who, after being bullied for a long time, you will always be bullied back!" Gu Yazi blushed, and the sixty-year-old man was actually shy when he saw it.
Let me go, this old man probably has a masochistic tendency!
"Hey, you can't be a good person these days!" Kubo sighed, looking like he was aggrieved, and seemed not surprised at all by Gu Yazi's change.
"Master Gu Yazi, in addition to appointing you as our army's chief craftsman during this trip.
There is another important thing. Our army will set off tomorrow afternoon at the latest to attack Langya King City. I wonder if you have any ready-made siege equipment here."
Time was running out, and after getting to know each other, Li Wenhao immediately got into the topic.
"You want it tomorrow afternoon?"
Hearing this, Gu Yazi shook his head: "There is only a battering ram and a few trebuchets ready-made, and only one day is too little.
I have been to the Imperial City, and these alone are definitely not enough!
Otherwise, [567中文www.yue20.com] I will take these apprentices of mine and go with the army tomorrow. The general will recruit more craftsmen. As long as there are enough materials, we can build twenty trebuchets within two or three days.
, and hundreds of city ladders!”
"That's okay!" Li Wenhao frowned and thought for a moment. Although it was a bit dangerous to let Gu Yazi accompany him, for now, this suggestion was the most feasible.
After all, no one knows what will happen if the Langya Royal City is attacked for several days.
Gu Yazi follows the army and can adjust the types of equipment at any time according to the actual situation on site, so as not to delay the military situation.
"Since the general has agreed, I will prepare now and build more metal movements. When the time comes, it can be used with external structures."
"Wait a minute!" Li Wenhao called to Gu Yazi who was about to leave, and took out a drawing from his arms.
"Master Gu, show me this. This is a picture of fire that I drew. I wonder if I can build a few doors overnight!"
This is a world of practitioners, and most of the craftsmen are practitioners. It is not difficult to build a cannon with a simple structure.
"Are you a black iron cannon?"
Gu Yazi only glanced at it, shook his head, and denied continuously: "General, each black iron cannon requires two thousand kilograms of black iron, as well as precious metals such as black silver and black gold. The cost is close to one hundred thousand taels of gold, which is too expensive.
Got it!
When used, many Qi practitioners are needed to replenish the cannon's spiritual power, so it is suitable for naval battles but not suitable for land battlefields."
"Master Gu, take a closer look. My artillery only weighs 500 kilograms. It does not need precious materials like Xuanjin. Moreover, it does not use spiritual power, it uses gunpowder!" Li Wenhao explained patiently.
"Gunpowder, no, gunpowder won't work, gunpowder is too weak!" When Gu Yazi heard about gunpowder, his head shook even more happily. He also conducted an experiment on the spot. When he stretched out his left hand, a handful of black gunpowder appeared in the palm of his hand.
When the spiritual power is ignited, there is a muffled "bang" sound, just like a burning match head, with no power at all.
"General, the power of gunpowder is indeed too small!" Kubo also said from the side.
"The gunpowder I'm talking about is not the commonly used gunpowder, but this!" Seeing that the explanation was unclear, Li Wenhao simply took out a small bag of solid powerful explosives produced by the system.
The power of gunpowder in this world is very small. He asked the system. The reason is that under the influence of spiritual power, not only living things, but also all materials have undergone some changes.
The formula of gunpowder remains unchanged, but its power is much weaker and almost useless.
The powerful explosives produced by the system use slightly different formulas and materials.
What exactly it was, the system asked him to figure it out on his own, and Li Wenhao thought of Gu Yazi.
It would be even better if the formula for system explosives could be cracked!
"This is gunpowder!"
Gu Yazi was very surprised. He broke off a piece with his hand, put it under his nose, smelled it, and nodded: "It does smell of gunpowder, and there are spiritual energy fluctuations in it."
"Master Gu, I got these gunpowder by accident. Can you identify its ingredients?" Li Wenhao asked nervously in a low voice.
"I am certain that there is fire stone powder in it. The rest is not clear yet. We need to do some experiments before we can judge!"
The master is worthy of being a master. Gu Yazi identified a material just by smelling it with his nose.
Just as Li Wenhao was about to praise him, his expression suddenly changed, and a flash of light shot out from his hand: "Don't light it on fire, throw it away quickly!"
"Boom." Unfortunately, it was too late, Gu Yazi and Kubo had already been blown into the sky.
"Damn it!" Li Wenhao's forehead was sweating in a hurry, and he ducked and chased Gu Yazi.
Gu Yazi is only accurate to the third level. If something unexpected happens at this time, it will be really tragic.
As for Kubo, he didn’t even bother to look at it. He must be a fourth-level thick-skinned person!
