The one thousand six hundred and ninety-two chapters work without conscience
Of course, matches are just an appetizer. If they get a match to entertain Zhao Kai, it would definitely be a shame to the weapons supervisor. After all, Zhao Kai doesn't come often.~x.co
Zhao Kai took the initiative and asked: "By the way, can the revitalizing cannon be improved?"
Yu Yunwen said truthfully: "Returning to the emperor, today's revitalizing cannons still have the phenomenon of pipe bursting. After many days of research by Wei Chen, Second Uncle Wu, and Uncle Wu, they still cannot put an end to this phenomenon. Then we found that this seems to be impossible.
It cannot be avoided unless a new type of cannon is invented, but now the phenomenon of pipe explosion has been reduced to a minimum. Compared with earlier, it can be said to be relatively stable, and mass production has already begun."
You have to tell the truth about this firearm. If you lie to the emperor here, you will also lie to the soldiers in the future. Once a war breaks out, it is very likely that your lie will cause the commander to be too optimistic about the war situation. This will
The group may be destroyed directly.
Zhao Kai was very excited when he thought about the power of the revitalizing cannon and its unique structure. This slight disadvantage is still tolerable. He nodded and said: "You have done a good job. I am very satisfied."
Yu Yunwen said: "But Your Majesty, I think that the revitalizing cannon is still too heavy and can only be used in critical battles. If it is an encounter or ambush, there are few opportunities to use it, and it is too bulky and difficult to move.
"
Zhao Kai said: "I also know this, but something is better than nothing. The revitalizing cannon will play a huge role in the critical battle, but I think you can create a small revitalizing cannon."
Yu Yunwen sighed and said: "Wei Chen once thought about shrinking the gun body, reducing its weight, and making it easier to move, but it failed repeatedly. First, there was too little gunpowder to cause large-scale damage. Second, it was very ineffective.
It is stable and pipe bursts often occur.”
Zhao Kai just said this casually. Of course he knew that this was not an easy task, so when he saw Yu Yunwen's dejected look, he immediately comforted him and said: "Don't be discouraged. What you can do at such a young age is already very impressive."
It won’t be easy, I believe that given time, you will be able to create a perfect revitalizing cannon.”
Li Qi suddenly laughed and said: "Failure is the mother of success. Let me think about what this successful mother looks like."
Yu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Master, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he immediately took the two of them to the armory.
Zhao Kai glanced sideways at Li Qi and said, "Why don't you say something nice? What is failure and success?"
Li Qi said sarcastically: "I'm sorry, I don't have enough education. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Kai could swear that he had heard this sentence at least ten thousand times, but he didn't bother to say it anymore.
After a while, I saw two big men walking over carrying a one-meter-long gun barrel. In addition, there was a cross frame under the gun barrel.
"Mortar?"
Li Qi exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Kaicuo asked in astonishment: "What mortar?"
Li Qi was startled and said hurriedly: "Nothing, nothing." But he looked at it carefully. He saw that this style was very similar to the mortars of later generations. After all, the mortars themselves were quite simple.
Yu Yunwen looked at the cannon and felt particularly sad.
Zhao Kai asked curiously: "Why is the muzzle of your cannon pointed upward?"
Yu Yunwen said: "Back to the emperor. This is because master and I have done many experiments and found that anything we throw falls to the ground in an arc, so we assume that the earth is attractive and the archers shoot arrows.
It's not a flat shot. The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Arrow also uses a sheepskin pouch as a tool to adjust the angle. So Wei Chen was thinking that the shooting angle is actually very important. Although the mouth of the revitalizing cannon is pointed upward, it cannot be adjusted. This way
It can't aim very well, so when Wei Chen was considering the small cannon, he first took the shooting angle into consideration."
Zhao Kai listened with a vague understanding, but he did not ask in detail. After all, he also knew archery and the importance of this angle, and said: "Then have you found out the reason for this failure?"
Yu Yunwen shook his head and said: "Wei Chen doesn't understand that accidents happen very frequently with this kind of small cannon." Then he said to Li Qi: "Master, do you know?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know either." He knew too little about weapons.
Zhao Kai looked at this small cannon and felt a little regretful. If this kind of small cannon could be popularized, it would be perfect.
Seeing Zhao Kai's disappointed expression, Yu Yunwen suddenly thought of something. He glanced at Wu Youhua again and saw that he was already scratching his head again. He seemed to be in a hurry. He blinked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, although it is still not possible at the moment.
It was impossible to build such a small cannon, but Uncle Wu invented a more powerful cannon. The structure is extremely simple and easy to use, and it can cope with various emergencies."
You finally remembered me. Wu Youhua burst into tears!
Zhao Kai was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Seriously? Take it out quickly."
Wu Youhua stretched out his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please come with me."
A group of people followed Wu Youhua to the firearms experiment site at the back. What's funny is that every time they come back, the site has to expand a lot, but this is a good thing. It proves the power of firearms and their range is getting farther and farther.
This time, they went directly to the innermost place, and at first glance, they felt as if they were in a vegetable field, with potholes everywhere.
Taking a closer look, Zhao Kai suddenly discovered that there were many gun barrels buried in the pit, and a muzzle was exposed. This muzzle was so scary that it could fit a Zhou Lang into it.
Zhao Kai was shocked and asked, "Is this also an artillery piece?"
Yu Yunwen said: "Second Uncle Wu, it's up to you to speak."
He almost forgot Wu Youhua's new invention just now, and he was already feeling regretful. How could he have the nerve to steal the limelight? In fact, he didn't want to always let him do the talking. It's just that the Wu brothers have not read books and are not very good at talking to the emperor, so
He has always been the middleman.
Wu Youhua said hey: "Your Majesty, this is actually caused by my fooling around. When I saw Yunwen studying the small cannon, I said that the barrel was too small, the amount of gunpowder it could hold was limited, and the power was insufficient. At that time, I thought
Why not get a big one, so I found a big iron bucket and put some more propellant in it. Then I put the gunpowder bag---."
Zhao Kai asked curiously: "Gunpowder bag?"
Wu Youhua said: "Oh, this gunpowder bag was also thought up by the villain. Originally, the gunpowder bag was just used to wrap the gunpowder with cloth, but the villain was curious about what would happen if so much gunpowder exploded, so
The villain just got a gunpowder bag and buried it underground. Your Majesty, you don’t know, the more gunpowder there is, the more powerful it is. The villain almost went deaf at the time."
Li Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this. Aren't you talking nonsense? The less gunpowder, the more powerful it is. If there is any, you should get me some!
Zhao Kai listened with great interest, smiled and nodded: "You continue."
Wu Youhua continued: "So the villain was thinking that since this gunpowder bag is so powerful, why not just throw the gunpowder bag out to kill the enemy, so the villain made a round gunpowder bag and put it into the iron bucket.
I lit the propellant. Then I lit the gunpowder pack. Unexpectedly, the test was successful, and it was very powerful, so we started to study this gunpowder pack cannon."
Yu Yunwen added: "Your Majesty, the revitalizing cannon cannot be taken away. If it fails, it will be handed over to the enemy. But the structure of the cannon like Uncle Wu's is very simple. The big man who is slightly shaped like an iron barrel can lift it by himself."
It has to be moved, there is no gunpowder bag. It is useless to ask for this iron barrel. And the gunpowder bag exists for transportation, so using this kind of gun is simpler and more practical than the revitalizing gun."
Li Qi sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard of this kind of cannon somewhere. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "A heartless cannon?"
"Um?"
Zhao Kai and others looked at Li Qi one after another.
Li Qi laughed twice and said: "Your Majesty, don't you think this name is quite domineering?"
How could Zhao Kai, the top scholar in the imperial examination, have such an awareness? He looked at Li Qi without knowing why.
But Wu Youhuapo understood what Li Qi was thinking, and muttered on the side, "There is no conscience, there is no conscience, well, that's quite pleasant."
Zhao Kai heard this clearly and said with a smile: "Youhua, this cannon is made by you. Since you think it sounds good, just call it a heartless cannon. Besides, it is used to deal with the enemy, so there is no need for anything."
conscience."
Darling, this is a big joke. This heartless cannon was born more than 800 years in advance! Li Qi felt a little confused.
It turns out that this kind of artillery was invented by our party in history. At that time, our party was poor and had no artillery. People usually charged with explosive packs, but this was not very scientific after all, so our party’s elite thought of using mortars.
The unscrupulous cannon came into being by delivering explosive packets in the form of a cannon, and it once shone brightly in the Huaihai Battle, destroying countless enemy heavy armored equipment.
But Li Qi never expected that Wu Youhua would do it.
Why is it said that Wu Youhua and Yu Yunwen are a perfect partner? Because the two of them are strong in action, one is strong in theory, one has rich experience, and the other has rich knowledge, and all firearms produced by Wu Youhua are biased.
It is practical and a little rustic, but the one created by Yu Yunwen is very grand and formal.
So the two of them can definitely be called golden partners.
This made Li Qi very curious, because he had never seen the power of this heartless cannon.
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "After hearing what you said, I am really curious. Just fire this heartless cannon and show me."
"yes."
Wu Youhua personally performed the operation, took the gunpowder and propellant and walked up, while Zhao Kai and the others kept retreating. Such a large gunpowder bag was scary to look at.
Even though Wu Youhua is tall and thick, he is very careful and every move is very standardized. However, he is also cautious and very afraid of death. This can be seen from the length of the lead from the bottom of the iron barrel.
But when Wu Youhua lit the fuse, he immediately transformed into a fat cat and jumped into a pit far away.
"call---!"
Suddenly, I saw flames burst out of the iron barrel. The flames alone were about ten feet high. They shot out in a very spectacular manner. I also saw a very large round gunpowder bag flying out, drawing a wonderful arc, and landed on the ground a hundred steps away. outside.
Boom!
It felt like the sky was falling apart.
Zhao Kai Although they were well prepared and even had rags to plug their ears, the deafening sound of the explosion still made their bodies tremble violently.
