When Wu Youcai saw Li Qi standing there blankly, he quickly came forward and shouted softly.
"Wow! This thunder cannon is so loud, it almost deafens my ears." Ma Qiao on the side suddenly exclaimed, rubbing his ears with both hands.
Li Qi was startled for a moment, turned around and asked, "Maqiao, you didn't cover your ears either?"
Ma Qiao nodded dullly.
Li Qi felt a little better, after all, he was not "fighting" alone! He shook his head vigorously, rubbed his ears with both hands, and exclaimed: "This thing is really loud!"
Wu Youcai chuckled and said, "What the supervisor doesn't know is that this Thunderbolt Cannon actually has a name."
"What's the name?"
"Thunder."
Zhentian Lei? It really lives up to its name. Precisely because of this, Li Qi suddenly felt like he was being tricked. He glared at Wu Youcai, took a deep breath, and said, "You should have told me earlier."
Wu Youcai groaned and apologized hurriedly.
Li Qi snorted, pointed forward, and said, "Let's go and see how powerful this thunder is."
The group of people came to the place where the Thunderbolt had just been placed. When Li Qi saw the small pothole the size of a bathtub, he really wished he had never seen it and let his impression of the Thunderbolt Cannon still stay there.
In terms of the sound, the power of this is really too small. Just blow up such a small hole, use it for nothing, not to mention the group damage, even whether it can kill one person is still unknown.
ah.
Wu Youcai saw Li Qi's stunned expression and thought that Li Qi was frightened by the power of the thunder cannon. He still explained excitedly: "Supervisor, in addition to the sound that this thunder cannon can disturb and injure the enemy, it can also
The blown iron pieces can still hurt the enemy, supervisor. Please look at these tree trunks."
Li Qi was startled for a moment, then finally walked to a tree and saw that none of the iron pieces had penetrated into the trunk. He felt a little relieved and said, "These iron pieces are much more useful than the sound."
After demonstrating the thunder cannon, Wu Youcai demonstrated other firearms to Li Qi. In fact, they were all modified thunder cannons, with poison, fuel, etc. inside.
But the problem still exists, that is, the explosive power of gunpowder itself is really not flattering, and its power is pitiful. Li Qi tried hard not to remind himself of those explosion scenes in later movies, just you guys. I'm afraid people who make movies are all
I won't want it.
Another point is that today's firearms are too cumbersome to use, and there is almost no mobility. It is okay in positional combat, but once encountered in an encounter, they will probably be scrapped. With the weight of the Thunderbolt
.If you throw it by hand, it will probably only be used to self-destruct when it is harvested by the enemy.
At this moment, Li Qi felt that he still had a long way to go.
When Li Qi finished examining all the firearms, Wu Youhua suddenly whispered: "Supervisor, actually--actually, the villain also brought a small---a small invention, but I don't know if it is useful."
Li Qi snorted and couldn't help but said: "Then what are you hiding? Take it out and take a look."
Wu Youhua responded, took the bag off his shoulder, fiddled with it a few times, and took out a small cloth bag.
Is it this cloth bag again? Li Qi's eyes were full of disappointment and he said depressedly: "Isn't your cloth bag the same as that rocket?"
Wu Youhua was stunned for a moment, nodded awkwardly and said, "The usage is indeed the same."
I knew that was the case. Li Qi now gave up any hope for the cloth bag and said, "Then just tell me the difference."
"Yes!" Wu Youhua said: "Actually, this cloth bag contains a very special kind of fireworks. It can emit dazzling light. There are three kinds of light: yellow, blue and red. It is very eye-catching, so the villain thought.
If you use a crossbow to shoot the fireworks into the sky, maybe--maybe--"
Li Qi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Flag flare!"
Wu Youhua was stunned for a moment, feeling that the name was quite appropriate, and nodded hurriedly.
This signal bomb is also indispensable in the military. Li Qi said excitedly: "Then let me have a look."
Wu Youhua glanced at the sky and opened his eyes when he saw the sunlight. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell anything if I try now."
Li Qi squinted at the sky and nodded in understanding. He took a deep breath and coughed lightly, glanced at the craftsmen, and asked: "What do you think of these firearms from the Song Dynasty?"
The craftsmen looked at me and me, but no one dared to answer.
Li Qi added: "Then do you want to hear my opinion?"
Everyone nodded in unison.
"One word."
Li Qi raised a finger and said: "Damn!"
Wu Youcai and others looked stunned, with a look of shame on their faces.
Li Qi sighed and said: "The key to the power of gunpowder lies in its explosive power. Poisons and iron flakes are all auxiliary. But you have ignored the essence of gunpowder. This is actually putting the cart before the horse. Another very important point is that it is portable.
Sex, take this thunder cannon as an example. Its usage is too limited and cannot be popularized in war. What is the weapon used for? It is used for war and is born for war. There is no reason for war to match weapons. I
Your request is very simple, that is, no matter what kind of war, these firearms can come in handy. If these things are your pride, then I can only say that I am ashamed of your pride."
The craftsmen were scolded by Li Qi's face, and they all lowered their heads in shame.
Li Qi paused and then said: "But everything has a process. You can't eat a fat man in one bite. I'm not blaming you, but I want to tell you that as a developer, you must not be satisfied with the status quo. You must make continuous progress and continuous improvement."
Ask your own questions, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to practice. If you make a mistake, then you have to start over from the beginning. Take this thunder cannon as an example. Its shortcomings are clear at a glance. It is too heavy, too powerful, and lethal.
It is not big enough. If we can hold it with one hand, the lethality will be increased ten times or even a hundred times. By then, every soldier of our Song Dynasty will carry a few of them. When the enemy surprises, he can throw them out to kill the enemy. This will
It’s called a firearm. Do you understand?”
"Understood." Everyone said in unison, among which the Wushi brothers had a thoughtful expression.
Li Qi nodded and said: "I don't want to push you too hard, but you have to strive for yourselves and don't embarrass our weapons supervisor. Whether it is glory or shame, it depends on how you choose. Okay, that's it for today.
That's it, you go and do your work, Wu Jianzuo, Wu Erlang, you stay."
"yes."
After the others left, Li Qi and the Wu brothers walked around the lake. Li Qi asked: "By the way. Supervisor, have you read the little book I gave you last time?"
Wu Youcai said excitedly: "The little guy has seen it, the supervisor is a talented person, but the little guy can't do it just in case."
"Stop talking about these flattery words, let's talk about business."
The three of them sat on the floor and began to discuss the gunpowder. Li Qi learned all about gunpowder from books. Although he had never practiced it, he knew the formula for making gunpowder very well, and he had several formulas.
Although the Wu brothers did not have the advanced theoretical knowledge of Li Qi, they grew up playing with gunpowder, and their practical ability was evident.
The three of them work together perfectly.
But for Li Qi's advanced theoretical knowledge, I'm afraid it will take some time for the Wu brothers to digest it.
Before he knew it, noon was about to pass. After having lunch with them, Li Qi set off to go back. He had to rush back to the Ordnance Supervision to make arrangements for providing gunpowder raw materials to the military base. Because of his advanced theory, he also
Several new raw materials for making gunpowder have been added. In order to speed up the pace of improving gunpowder, he must replenish the raw materials as soon as possible.
"Let me go, let me go."
When Li Qi and others arrived only about twenty steps away from the weapons prison, they suddenly heard a childish voice coming from the weapons department. Li Qi looked up and saw the two people in front of the weapons prison door.
A guard came out carrying a child. The child struggled hard and kept shouting "let me go" and "why don't you let me in?"
But the two guards ignored him. They threw him on the street and turned back. The kid was interesting. He got up and walked back inside, but was stopped by the two guards again.
The more Li Qi watched, the more curious he became. He couldn't help but quicken his pace, and in a blink of an eye, the group arrived in front of the weapons prison gate.
"For humble positions, see supervisor."
When the two guards saw Li Qi coming, they quickly saluted.
Li Qi glanced at the child. He was only twelve or thirteen years old, less than 1.4 meters tall, with a childish look on his face, red lips and white teeth, ordinary clothes, and a baggage on his left side. He didn't look like a child from a wealthy family. Shen
Voice: "What's going on?"
One of the guards clasped his fists and said, "Returning to the supervisor, just now this kid tried to break into the weapons prison and was stopped by us, but he refused to give up and tried to climb over the wall to get in, but we captured him again."
The child suddenly bowed to Li Qi and said, "Excuse me, is this adult the supervisor of the weapons department?" There was no fear on his face. Normally, when a child sees an official like Li Qi, he would be so frightened that he would not dare to speak.
, how dare you come forward and ask.
Li Qi saw that he bowed very well, like a little scholar, so he nodded and said, "Not bad."
The child suddenly pointed at the two people and said, "Then please ask the supervisor to punish these two people severely, so as not to damage the credibility of the supervisor."
Li Qi looked at his old-fashioned look and couldn't help but smile and said, "How do you say this?"
The child bowed again and said, "May I ask if the inscription in front of the weapons prison gate was posted by the adults?"
"certainly."
"The list states that anyone who can provide weapons to the Arms Supervisor that is beneficial to our Song Dynasty army will be rewarded. I wonder if I am wrong."
"Exactly."
"Is there an age limit for those who come to donate weapons?"
"No!"
"Can men and women be separated?"
"No distinction."
"According to what the supervisor just said, everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, can come."
"certainly."
The child said calmly and calmly: "If that's the case, then why did the boy just come to offer the treasure and explain everything, but they didn't allow me to go in, but turned me away. If the supervisor didn't deceive the boy, then
They have already disobeyed the order of the Supervisor. There are many military orders. If these two people are not severely punished, it will damage the majesty of the Supervisor and damage the credibility of the Supervisor. That's why I asked the Supervisor to punish these two people.
