Li Qi was a person who had seen the world, and was just a little surprised, but Zhao Kai and the others were stunned. Even Yue Fei and others saw it for the first time to tie an arrow to a dog. This was really incredible.
Already.
Zhao Kai asked curiously: "Yunwen, that--the arrow on the dog is the 'third-level rocket' you just mentioned."
Yu Yunwen respectfully replied: "That's exactly what the regent said."
Zhao Kai asked again: "But why did you tie this 'third-order rocket' to the dog?"
Yu Yunwen replied: "In the beginning, this 'third-stage rocket' had to rely on a bow to launch. Now after our improvements to gunpowder, we found that the 'third-stage rocket' already has the ability to launch itself and does not need to rely on a bow string."
, As for why it is tied to a military dog, this is just our preliminary test. I want to use other things to replace soldiers to launch third-stage rockets. It may be able to reduce the damage of soldiers, and also use military dogs to increase their range and agility.
nature. If two armies are fighting and the formation is not conducive to ours, we can use the 'Iron Armored Divine Dog' to rush ahead in time to cover our attack, or retreat and launch third-stage rockets to destroy the enemy's formation."
Wu Youhua added: "In fact, the potential of this third-stage rocket is far more than that. Once successful, we will no longer need too many archers, and we can effectively attack the enemy in a very short time."
Yue Fei said: "If this can be done, there is nothing better. Facing the Jin army, the weakest link of our army is its agility. The enemy is often caught off guard. If we can attack the enemy in an instant, in that case,
I can rely on the infantry formation to defend effectively. In addition, when pursuing, we can also rely on this armored divine dog to pursue the enemy."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "Yes. The biggest disadvantage of archers is that it is difficult to cause large-scale damage to the enemy while moving. Mounted archery can only play a role in cover and pursuit."
Li Qi just smiled slightly and said: "No matter how good you say it, it is just talk on paper. The key is to see the practical effect. If you are talented, let us get to know your third-stage rocket."
"As commanded."
Li Qi and others first came to the absolutely safe area behind the "Iron Armored Divine Dog". After all, this is gunpowder, and what is fired is not a person, but a dog. You must stand within the safe area and get too close, in case something happens
If you have an accident, you are really asking for it.
After the clearing is completed.
Wu Youcai waited for the staff and checked again whether the rocket was installed. After all, Zhao Kai and the others were here now, so of course they had to make sure there were no mistakes.
After everything was ready, I saw a dog trainer standing on the same level as the more than 20 "iron-armored dogs". He suddenly raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Get up."
More than twenty "iron-armored dogs" stood up at the same time. They were all tall and strong, and looked extremely ferocious. These twenty military dogs were the most elite military dogs in the ghost army. Yu Yunwen used them for experiments, and he could also react.
Show his confidence in himself.
Zhao Kai was not a pet lover. This was the first time he saw such a magical military dog, and he couldn't help but secretly smack his lips.
The staff on the side immediately went up to light the fuse.
"go!"
As the dog trainer's right hand suddenly waved down, more than twenty "iron-armored divine dogs" rushed out like cheetahs at the same time, running towards the front very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, we were already a hundred steps away.
Suddenly I heard "swish, swish, swish!" several times.
However, we saw dozens of rockets fired from the "Iron-Armored Divine Dog". It cannot be said that they were fired at the same time, but the interval between them was no more than two seconds at most.
After more than twenty "iron-armored dogs" were fired, they immediately turned around and ran back, just like well-trained soldiers. It could be seen that they had undergone strict training before.
Zhao Kai and others' movements were surprisingly consistent, and they raised their heads at the same time.
I saw that the sky was full of arrows with flames spraying from their tails, leaving phantoms in the blue sky. With a few swishes, the third-stage rocket perfectly completed its second sprint in the air. Not long after,
Ushered in the third sprint.
Zhao Kai looked dumbfounded and his brows twitched a few times. This kind of advancement without relying on human power was an eye-opener for him!
Li Qi, who was on the side, looked at him like this and snickered secretly. It seems that this guy is as virtuous as him in this regard, and he is also scientifically illiterate.
However, when this third-stage rocket landed, it did not make the earth-shattering explosion that people imagined, but only bursts of white smoke.
Since this is still only the preliminary stage, Wu Youcai and the others dare not put gunpowder in, let alone people, even dogs, that is not good. They mainly arrange for the self-launch of the third-stage rocket.
This time it was tested.
Until the moment the "Tier 3 Rocket" landed, all the staff at the scene finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know whether this satisfied Zhao Kai and Li Qi, at least there were no low-level mistakes. Compared with the development of firearms nowadays,
At this stage, this is already very difficult.
But even so, Zhao Kai and others were still dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw an arrow that did not require manpower to be launched. This was quite shocking to him.
Li Qi was not surprised. There was not much surprise on his face. Instead, he pondered. This made Yu Yunwen and the others very uneasy. After a while, Li Qi suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Very good, very good! Really."
Bravo!"
Yu Yunwen and the Wushi brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Qi applauding.
Zhao Kai was startled for a moment, and then he came to his senses. He gave Yu Yunwen a thumbs up and praised: "Well done! Well done! With this magical weapon, those Jin soldiers have nothing to fear."
Wu Youcai said with shame: "Your Highness has given you the award. In fact, this is a preliminary test. The third-stage rocket still has many shortcomings. For example, it lacks stability and accuracy. There are still many areas that need to be improved."
"Not arrogant, not impetuous, very good, very good." Li Qi said, patted Yu Yunwen's shoulder again, and said: "Yunwen, your 'third-stage rocket' really came at the right time. I am lacking it now.
Already."
"ah?"
Yu Yunwen was stunned when he heard this, wondering why Li Qi said this.
Zhao Kai also looked at Li Qi in surprise.
However, Li Qi just smiled and said nothing, and this was his usual style. After a moment, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly turned to Zhao Kai and said: "Your Highness, Yunwen and the others have given you so many wonderful things."
It’s a gift, don’t you even express it at all?”
Zhao Kai was slightly startled, he never expected that Li Qi would say such a thing, his face turned slightly red, and he said: "It's not like you don't know, I'm not richer than them now, so how can I still have the ability to give gifts!
"
What he said was really not an exaggeration. He emptied the palace on the first day he took office. Now he has more than enough ambition but not enough power.
Li Qi teased: "You, the regent, have failed too."
Zhao Kai hummed: "I have just taken office, and you are their superior officer. Have you prepared any gifts?"
"Why!"
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "Your Highness, please don't provoke me. I can't be provoked the most. Let me tell you, I have really prepared gifts, and they are no worse than these."
Zhao Kai saw the treacherous look on Li Qi's face and thought to himself, "Oh no, I have been fooled by this kid." He felt very unhappy. If you want to show off, there is no need to start with me! He refused to admit defeat and said: "
Then take it out and let me take a look and see if it is as good as you said."
Li Qi turned to Ma Qiao and nodded. After Ma Qiao received the order, he immediately turned around and left the experimental area. After a while, he walked in with a bag on his back. Li Qi said: "Open it. After hiding it for so long, I can't do it."
It’s time to let them breathe.”
Ma Qiao groaned and opened the baggage, only to find two copper pipes inside. In addition, there were three things similar to colored glaze, but more transparent than colored glaze.
This is exactly what magnifying glass and telescope are made of glass!
Li Qi developed it for several years and hid it for several years. Finally, he took it out after Song Huizong, the prodigal son, left. He was afraid that if he didn't take it out now, he would have no chance to take it out again.
Zhao Kai and others had never seen this kind of glass before, so they couldn't help but take a sharp breath of air, and couldn't help but pick up a magnifying glass. They originally wanted to take a closer look, but when they took a closer look, the object in their eyes suddenly became larger, and he screamed in fright.
As soon as he loosened his grip, he saw that the magnifying glass was about to fail and die first.
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't scream.
Suddenly, a hand picked up the magnifying glass from underneath. These days, besides Ma Qiao, who else could have such agile skills? Ma Qiao picked up the magnifying glass, handed it to Zhao Kai, and said: "Your Highness, here it is."
Li Qi grabbed it with one hand and said: "Are you kidding, Your Highness? Do you know how many days it will take to make this piece? This mental quality is so poor that I won't show it to you."
Zhao Kai recalled the scene just now and was very surprised at how willing he was to submit. He quickly picked up another piece from the baggage, put it in front of his eyes, swayed it far and near, and shouted: "Strange! This is really wonderful.
Oh! Li Qi, what kind of treasure are you, you can actually see small objects so clearly?"
"This is called a magnifying glass."
Li Qi responded angrily, picked up the magnifying glass in his hand and handed it to Yu Yunwen, saying: "Yunwen, in science, you can't help but be careful and have a sharp eye. If you see clearly, you will naturally be much more accurate.
Any new invention is based on the accumulation of these precise calculations. This magnifying glass is given to you, and I hope you can continue to work hard."
"Thank you, Master."
Yu Yunwen quickly took it. After all, he still had a childlike innocence. He picked it up and started to read it. His hands were trembling with excitement. He looked at his hands, then squatted on the ground and looked at the pebbles on the ground, as if he was very interested in everything under the lens.
interested.
He was young, which was understandable, but Zhao Kai was just like him, squatting on the ground and looking at it, which made people feel a little dumbfounded.
Wu Youhua rubbed his hands and looked at Li Qi with tears in his eyes, as if to say, you can't be more favorable to one!
Li Qi was disgusted by what he looked at. He picked up a magnifying glass and handed it to Wu Youhua, saying: "Don't look at me like that, I can't do without you."
Wu Youhua quickly took it, as if he had found a treasure!
Li Qi smiled and shook his head, then said to Wu Youcai: "Youcai, your piece is in His Highness's hand. When he finishes reading it, let him give it to you."
Zhao Kai hurriedly said: "This---isn't this given to me?"
Li Qi snorted: "Are you kidding? Do you know how long it takes to make this thing? I gave it to you? You really dare to think about it!"
Zhao Kai was very interested in this magnifying glass. He pulled Li Qi aside and said, "Li Qi, don't forget that I am the regent now. You should give me some face at least!"
Li Qidao: "My respected regent, why don't you let the Jin people give you some face? This thing in your hands is just a plaything at most, but in the hands of Yunwen and the others, it is their weapon. You said you should give it
who?"
After Zhao Kai heard this, he smiled, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, you should give it to them first."
Li Qi smiled and said: "You don't have to be depressed, I promise you, the next piece will definitely belong to you."
Zhao Kai quickly said: "I will remember your words."
"Okay." Li Qi nodded and saw Niu Gao and others standing aside, staring blankly at Yu Yunwen and the others. They were so envious that Li Qi felt that he was ashamed of them. He walked forward and stood in front of them.
He shook his hand and said, "Hey, hey, it's time to wake up."
Niu Gao and Yue Fei were both startled and glanced at Li Qi awkwardly.
Li Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be with you too." After saying that, he picked up a telescope and handed it to Yue Fei, saying, "This thing is called clairvoyance. Although it can't see thousands of miles away yet, it can't be seen at all."
It should be of great help to you."
Yue Fei hurriedly took it, and Li Qi handed another one to Niu Gao.
These two reckless men were anxious with the treasure but didn't know how to use it. Li Qidu felt anxious for them and told them how to use the telescope.
The two of them looked inside the small hole as Li Qi said, and saw that the scenery in the distance gradually became clearer. They were shocked and couldn't believe the facts in their eyes. They put it down and took it again.
I got up and walked back and forth several times before I believed that this thing could really see "thousands of miles" away. I raised it again and looked at the sky. For the first time, I felt that the white clouds were so beautiful. As I looked at them, these two fools actually held telescopes.
Squatting on the ground, they followed Yu Yunwen's example and looked at the pebbles, but their vision became blurry.
Sweating! Can Kaifeng City really be defended? Did I trust the wrong person? Li Qi covered his face with one hand and was speechless.
Zhao Kai felt itchy and unbearable, stretched out his hand and said: "Yue Fei, show me."
When Yue Fei heard this, although he was reluctant, he was the regent after all, and Li Qi could not give him face, so he had to give it to him, so he quickly handed it over.
Zhao Kai picked up the copy and immediately looked at the mountains in the distance. He could see all the beautiful scenery in the mountains. This was simply incredible. He looked left and right, amazed again and again.
Yang Zaixing, Yue Fan and other generals were so jealous that they scratched their cheeks so anxiously that they almost scratched their faces, because there were only two telescopes in the baggage, so they definitely didn't have a share.
The more Zhao Kai looked at it, the more he fell in love with the telescope, and asked Li Qi: "This--doesn't it belong to me?"
Li Qi nodded and smiled: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you guessed it right. There are only eight pairs of these telescopes in total. I sent six pairs to General Zhong and the others, and only two pairs are left."
Zhao Kai was so depressed that he almost cried, but he also knew that Yue Fei and the others needed this telescope even more. If they could detect the enemy's movements a hundred miles away, they would undoubtedly have the upper hand! He handed the telescope to Yue Fan.
.
The group of people began to take turns to look at it, and from time to time they heard the sound of "wow, wah, wah" coming from their mouths.
Zhao Kai pulled Li Qi aside and said, "Li Qi, tell me honestly, how many more treasures have you hidden?"
Li Qidao: "Everything is gone."
"really."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I even took out these rare treasures. Do you think there is anything more precious than these in the world? However, now we can only use it secretly, but we can't let too many people know about it. If
If the Jin army or Xixia know about it, then I guess they will capture Kaifeng even if they risk their lives."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "Yes. You do need to pay attention to this aspect, but since you can hide it for so long, I believe you must have a way." (To be continued...)
