Book friends, I am going to start uploading VIP content again. However, it is a new book. The speed of VIP chapters will be temporarily uploaded at two chapters per day. Different from the public, the two chapters in VIP are both 4000+, which is Tongwei.
I am the only one with the same speed. When next month starts, I will try to accumulate more and return to the speed of three chapters a day. The new book has just been put on the shelves. I hope to get the support of new and old book friends. If you have VIP votes, please vote for it.

Hai Long, Piaomiao, and Zhishui got into a car. As soon as they got on the car, Piaomiao said through the voice: "Long, why do you have to test the cannon? Didn't you find that Master Moha looked a little unhappy?"
Hai Long smiled slightly and said: "Wife, you have to remember that only strength can prove everything. Although Moha and the others gave up the idea of attacking the Central Plains under the pressure of my master. But Moha has great ambitions, even if he does not launch an attack
, after he overcomes the calamity in the future, his men will also have the idea of invading the Central Plains. After all, the Central Plains is a huge land with abundant resources. I asked to test the cannon this time, mainly because I wanted to scare them. Moreover, I did
I am determined to develop a powerful weapon for Zhao and Song, so that even if I don't attack the enemy, I can still protect myself."
Due to the close distance, Zhishui's cultivation naturally heard the conversation between the two, and said: "Hai Long, has your cultivation increased recently?"
Hai Long was stunned and said: "Senior sister, why are you asking this? My cultivation has improved somewhat, maybe because of the effect of the master's help in reshaping my body. I should be in the late stage of not falling now."
Zhishui shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that I can't see through you more and more. However, there is something I want to remind you. As cultivators, it is better for us to stay away from the affairs of mortals in China.
Otherwise, being too secular-minded will have a great impact on your cultivation."
For the first time, Hai Long discovered that Zhishui actually cared about him. He looked at Piao Miao and said, "Thank you, senior sister, for reminding me. After watching the test of the cannon later, let's go back to the mountain immediately."
The carriage was not only fast, but also extremely stable. After about half an hour, everyone had already left the west city gate. After getting off the carriage, what appeared in front of everyone was an empty field. Looking around, there were dozens of miles around.
It was an empty plain with very few plants.
Zhao Feng rode a tall horse to Hai Long, turned over and dismounted, and said excitedly: "Your Highness, please come with me. This is our school military field, where military horses are usually trained here." In Zhao
Surrounded by Feng He and two hundred soldiers, everyone came to the side of the school military field. A huge artillery appeared in front of them. The artillery was about two meters high, and its thick body occupied an area of about ten square meters and was three meters long.
The barrel of the gun stretched out into the distance, and it was completely black, with a somewhat forbidding feeling.
Zhao Feng explained: "This giant artillery requires 6,000 kilograms of refined iron to be made into one, and the craftsmanship requirements are extremely high, without any gaps. It uses cannonballs with a diameter of 35 centimeters. Within 5,000 meters
, it can be said to be indestructible and extremely explosive. Come here, bring me the cannonball." Under his order, two soldiers came over holding a round black cannonball. On the surface, it looked like a big cannonball.
It's like an iron bullet, heavy. Zhao Feng said: "After many experiments, this cannonball took shape. Your Highness, you see, on the surface, this cannonball looks like a solid iron bullet. In fact, it is not. There is a large amount of compressed fire hidden in the cannonball.
yao. The whole bomb weighs 80 kilograms, of which 50 kilograms are fired. After being fired by the artillery, the power of the explosion is now three times greater than when it was first developed. With one blast, hundreds of square meters will be covered. If
The enemy's formation is dense, and it will not be a problem to eliminate hundreds of people."
Hai Long took the cannonball from the soldier's hand, weighed it in his hand, and said, "In other words, after this thing is fired from a cannon, it will explode as soon as it hits the ground, right?"
Zhao Feng nodded and said: "The principle is like this. In the barrel, we have a booster. This thing takes up the most volume and is the most laborious to make. Fill the booster with rocket, and when it explodes,
It will generate extremely strong thrust, push the shell out, and then explode with great power."
Hai Long nodded and said: "Then let's get started. Let us also appreciate the power of your artillery."
Zhao Feng nodded excitedly and ordered his men to start filling the gun. It took ten minutes for the gun to be filled. The soldier put the shell into the barrel and lit the fuse after Zhao Feng gave the order. "
Boom——" The loud noise was deafening, and the huge cannonball was rushed out far away, piercing the sky and falling to the ground.
A small puff of dust splattered in the distance, and everything seemed to be over. The demon was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, "Is this your artillery? It's just a trebuchet from a distance. It also consumes so much energy.
Iron, what a waste!"
Zhao Feng's face was extremely ugly. He glanced at Hai Long who had a calm expression and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the wall of this shell may be too thick, so it failed to explode. Please allow me to try another one.
"Hai Long said: "General Zhao Feng, what are the chances of your shells successfully exploding?"
Zhao Feng said: "There is about an 80% success rate. Come, add another one." Another ten minutes passed. At Zhao Feng's order, the artillery fired, and with a loud noise, the second shell was fired.
Fighting from a distance. "Boom -" The ground under everyone's feet shook violently, an unprecedented loud sound sounded, a huge fire light lit up in the distance, smoke and mud filled the air, and from Hai Long
Looking from where the others were standing, the power of this cannon covered nearly a thousand square meters. Zhao Feng blinked, he did not expect that the power would suddenly become so powerful. He hesitated and said: "This is almost
It is twice as powerful. Your Highness, maybe we are very lucky. The second shell should have exploded on the first one, so it is so powerful."
Moha, Soto and Ula were completely stunned. Although they were naturally not afraid of artillery attacks due to their cultivation, except for the extremely powerful monsters in southern Xinjiang, ordinary monsters simply could not withstand this level of resistance.
attack. Even if tens of thousands of monsters are mobilized to attack the city, it may be difficult to break through this powerful artillery blockade.
Hai Long thought for a while and said: "General Zhao, I think this artillery has serious shortcomings."
Zhao Feng was stunned. He could be said to be full of emotions for these artillery pieces. When he heard Hai Long's denial, he felt a hint of unhappiness in his heart and protested: "Your Highness, in China, this can be said to be the most powerful one."
It’s such a big weapon, why does it still have disadvantages?”
Hai Long smiled slightly and said: "General, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say. First of all, it is impossible to guarantee that all your artillery shells can exert their power, and although the attack power of this kind of artillery is not small, it takes too much to cast one.
A lot of raw materials and time can be said to be a waste of people and money. At the same time, it takes too long to add artillery. Let me ask you, if the enemy is a fast cavalry and rushes to the city from five thousand meters away, how many times can your artillery fire?
I think it should be no more than three times at most. If the enemy attacks with a large army, although the artillery can cause a lot of damage to them, it will not play a decisive role in the war. Once the city is broken, these precious artillery will become
The enemy's trophies. What we want is not this kind of weapon."
After listening to Hai Long's analysis, Zhao Feng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. The shortcomings Hai Long mentioned hit the nail on the head. Indeed, although the artillery is powerful, the enemy cannot stay there and let you blast it.
Smiling slightly, Hai Long continued: "I have an idea. If this idea can be successfully tested, we will truly have a powerful artillery. First of all, the size of this artillery is too large. Just now you said that it is mainly for boosting
The weapon is complex. In fact, I think this problem is easy to solve. First of all, the cannonball does not need to be so big, and the outer iron shell can be made thinner."
Zhao Feng said doubtfully: "But if the iron shell of the cannonball is thin, it is likely to explode in the barrel!"
Hai Long said: "Listen to me. The thin iron shell is not the main thing. The most important thing is the booster. General Zhao, let me ask you, if there is no booster, how much raw materials can this artillery save?" Zhao
His eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: "At least two-thirds can be saved."
Hai Long said confidently: "The booster is nothing more than sending out the shell with the power of the rocket explosion. If we put the booster directly on the shell, wouldn't we be able to save the process of manufacturing the booster? And loading the shell
The time will also be greatly shortened, and the connection between one shot and the next will never exceed one minute. That's what I think." As he spoke, Hai Long squatted down and drew a cone shape on the ground with his fingers.
Then after the cone shape, another square was drawn. "I just thought about it. Now because the cannonball is round, when it hits the ground, the force-bearing area is large, so it may not explode. If
The shell is made into a cone shape, so that not only the rear part can withstand the thrust of the booster, but also when it hits the ground, with the tip facing downwards, it can explode almost 100%. General Zhao, look, the cube behind is the booster I'm talking about.
This thing can be made stronger and filled with gunpowder. Then connect it with the warhead. The connection should not be too tight. At the connection point, an extremely thick iron plate must be used. In this way, the booster behind it will explode.
The force generated at this time can completely push the warhead out."
Zhao Feng's eyes lit up and he said sincerely: "Your Highness, this is really a good idea. If it is tested, it might really succeed."
Hai Long smiled and said: "I haven't finished speaking yet, and I think that since the gun can explode during impact, there is no need to use a fuse, which is slow and unsafe. You can design something that can be used as a cannon to fire
When the gun is fired, directly hit the back of the booster, so that the shell can be launched instantly. It is best to design a hole on the barrel, so that it is easier to take out the discarded booster after the explosion, which can greatly
Reduce the reloading time. If successful, the weight of the entire artillery will be reduced. As long as two more wheels are installed like a carriage, it can become a mobile weapon. Once there are hundreds of them, the cavalry of the Yuanmeng Kingdom
It's not a big deal. You can kill them all before they even get close. However, these are just assumptions. You need to conduct long-term experiments to see how thick the iron walls of the barrel and shells are.
I'm afraid this will take a long time to study, and everything depends on you."
Zhao Feng stared blankly at Hai Long for a while, then he suddenly fell to his knees with a plop and said with tears in his face: "Your Highness, Zhao Feng is convinced, you are worthy of being the king of Zhao Song Kingdom. Once this idea is
If we succeed, then our Zhao Song Kingdom will definitely become the most powerful country in China! Your Highness, thank you, thank you."
Hai Long helped Zhao Feng up and said with a smile: "What's there to thank you for? I just think the artillery thing is very interesting, so I boldly imagined it, and you go ahead and do it. If it succeeds, this mobile artillery will become Zhao Feng's
The country’s secret weapon. When the time comes, there will be nothing to fear.”
Moha coughed and said: "Brother Hailong, you are not going to destroy our southern border. If the artillery you mentioned can have such power as just now, if you build hundreds of them, even if you destroy our southern border,
It's not impossible to level the territory by bombing!" After hearing Hai Long's words, he, Soto, and Ula all felt fear in their hearts. This kind of weapon is really terrifying.
Hai Long smiled and said: "Brother Moha, you don't have to worry. Although this artillery is very powerful, even if my idea is successful, it will be extremely difficult to transport, and manufacturing requires a lot of raw materials. Even those artillery guns are not easy.
We got a lot. Southern Xinjiang is very mountainous and is not suitable for the use of artillery. There is no need for you to worry. As long as Southern Xinjiang does not take the initiative to attack Zhao Song State, I guarantee that Zhao Song State will not deal with you."
Mo Ha's expression relaxed a little, but he still looked worried when looking at the artillery. Hai Long had achieved the effect he wanted, and was in a good mood. He said to Zhao Feng: "General Zhao, since you think my idea is feasible, then
Organize people to study as soon as possible. We still have things to do, so we won’t stay here any longer, Huang Han! After you return to the imperial city and report to Zhao Ji, come to the Lianyun Mountains to find me as soon as possible. Perhaps, I won’t stay there too long.
"
Huang Han responded respectfully: "Yes, master."
Hai Long turned around and looked at the three great masters of Southern Xinjiang who were still thinking about artillery, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's set off. It's a long way from here to the Lianyun Mountains." Before Zhao Feng and his soldiers
Under the surprised gaze, clouds of various colors flew up, and in an instant, they disappeared into the distant sky, carrying Hai Long and others.
Zhao Feng looked at the passing figures of Hai Long and others, and murmured: "Wang Zhen is a divine man. Presumably, he is God's gift to our Zhao Song Kingdom."
Huang Han smiled and said: "General Zhao, you must start your research as soon as possible. If it succeeds, it will be a huge credit! When the time comes, His Majesty will definitely reward you greatly."
Zhao Feng sighed softly and said: "It doesn't matter if it's a commendation, but I really like artillery. I really hope that His Highness's idea of standing shoulder to shoulder can succeed."
