Until a faint fish belly white appeared in the east, Zhao Donghe came to Zhang Hao again, "Zhang Hao, I have decided to buy two artillery pieces, one for the first generation and one for the second generation, plus 100 shells."
After saying that, Zhao Donghe muttered again: "The price is really too expensive."
Zhang Hao chuckled: "Well, if you can guarantee that you won't take it apart for research after taking it back, and will continue to buy Zhang family's artillery and shells in the future, I can give you... one-tenth of the price, how about it?
"
"So much difference?"
Zhang Hao smiled and said nothing, and finally Zhao Donghe smiled sarcastically and stopped talking. Nonsense, the reason why I bought two artillery pieces and a hundred cannon shells was to take them back and dismantle them!
However, Zhang Hao's speech was so clear that Zhao Donghe stopped negotiating the price.
But when it came to the specific payment, problems arose again. Zhao Donghe had to pay with elixirs, and these elixirs were originally intended to support the country of Qixia.
Guan Zhengqing immediately quit.
The matter went on for a while, and Zhang Hao finally said: "General Zhao, can I understand that your Majesty personally promised support, but you actually want to overturn His Majesty's oral decree?"
"This..." Zhao Donghe was momentarily stuck.
Zhang Hao smiled very "gently": "If General Zhao wants to use this batch of pills to pay, I personally will not have any objections. But how do you explain to your majesty, how do you explain to the country of Qixia, you have to be careful
Think about it.
The Zhang family is the Zhang family, and the country of Qixia is the country of Qixia, which are completely different."
Zhao Donghe took a deep breath, his face full of tangles. Suddenly, someone next to him whispered in Zhao Donghe's ear. After a while, Zhao Donghe smiled: "Master Zhang, what do you think of this? We have some skills here that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul."
The pinnacle of excellent skills.
An average skill that can be practiced to the late Nascent Soul stage or even the peak is worth 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones. And an excellent skill is worth 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
In addition, we also have some weapon refining methods, alchemy techniques, etc., which can also be priced."
Zhang Hao's eyes lit up. The problem of martial arts has always been the biggest problem that has troubled the development of the Zhang family - the foundation of this thing is really crucial.
But Zhang Hao still kept an eye on it and asked Zhao Donghe to report the name of the technique, as well as the first few sentences, etc., and then went to Feng Zhiling, Guan Zhengqing, and even Zhou Shuhai, Gu Xingdong, Zhou Jue, Bai Ye, Zhang Xinhan and others to discuss it.
, see if everyone here has the same ones, and also ask everyone for their opinions on how much these exercises are worth.
After asking around, there was no overlap in the techniques, but everyone gave a lot of opinions on the price.
In the end, Zhang Hao obtained three books from Zhao Donghe: "The Immortal Killing Technique", "Feng Ming Jue", and "Purple Yang Kung", which can be used to practice to the late Yuanying stage and even the peak, as well as "Five Elements Gathering Together". This is
The secret book of alchemy.
Zhang Hao paid for a first-generation artillery piece, a second-generation artillery piece, 10,000 shells, and 50 tons of black iron specially used for alchemy, with a purity requirement of over 99.5%.
Zhang Hao obtained the secret book of the exercises on the spot; but he had not yet obtained the practice notes, records, annotations, etc. Without these, he would not be able to learn from the experience of his predecessors, and the problems and solutions encountered would only be equivalent to obtaining half of the exercises.
Zhao Donghe also received artillery and 100 artillery shells on the spot - these artillery shells could only be used on the battlefield of Qixia Kingdom, and Zhang Han personally trained Zhao Donghe and others in the use of artillery.
Training is an incidental service, which can be regarded as a reward for the support given by Zhao Donghe and others. The unique technician training system of technical sales also made Zhao Donghe and others' eyes light up, and they even guaranteed it.
As for the remaining cannonballs, Xuantie, will be delivered gradually in the next two months; by then, Zhang Hao will be able to obtain the complete technique.
Feng Zhiling acted as a guarantee for both parties as a true disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect. By the way, Senior Brother Feng received some considerable benefits from Zhao Donghe and extorted a ton of "99.9% Xuan Iron" from Zhang Hao.
If you want a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect to act as a guarantee, you have to pay a price, and Feng Zhiling also has to charge a fee - this is the market situation.
This was a pleasant transaction. After getting the artillery, Zhao Donghe personally tried two cannons. He immediately excitedly and actively discussed the next tactics with everyone - no longer passive and sagging. He wanted to throw these artillery shells to
At the head of the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang.
…………
However, while Zhang Hao was having an excited discussion, five hundred miles away, at the junction of Guangling County and Jianwu County, which was the second line of defense of the Qixia Kingdom, there was a different scene.
Dawn has just arrived, the sky and the earth are still dark, and the faint white fish belly in the east is as weak as a candlelight.
At this time, Sima Zhen had led the remaining 350,000 troops to the second line of defense; Diao Deshan and other Nascent Soul stage masters also arrived, and sent three cannonballs, and explained the situation clearly.
.
After a night, Sima Zhen's strong foundation in Yuan Ying stage exploded little by little, and he was able to stand on a high place and calmly command the army.
For a commander, cultivation is secondary, mind is the first.
In one night, Diao Deshan also carefully disassembled a cannonball. Just as Zhang Hao and Dugu Junjie had worried, Diao Deshan and others spent one night to identify the common gunpowder components and also identified the components of the cannonball.
The structure is understood.
"This black powder is composed of charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur. The main black-red powder has some clues, but it still needs to be studied.
The most important thing is the structure of this weapon. Only when the weapon hits an object, the heavy hammer at the rear will hit the firing pin in the front, thereby igniting the black powder; the black powder ignites the black-red powder.
of powder.
Therefore, I thought of two ways to defend against artillery shells. The first is to use a space array to slow down the speed, and eventually we can capture this weapon. The second is to place a rigid barrier in front of the array and detonate it in advance.
"
Sima Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone still doesn't know that this thing is called a 'cannonball', at least they know that there is nothing mysterious about this weapon. That's good.
Sima Zhen looked at the structure of the cannonball carefully, and gradually he frowned. The production of the cannonball was actually... very exquisite. The design between the firing pin and the weight was very clever. The front end of the weight was an inclined surface. As long as it collided with the firing pin,
There will be a spark.
In order to ensure that there will be sparks, there are three firing pin systems in the warhead part, one is steel, one is flint, and the other is steel firing pin plus flint weight.
This design is because black gunpowder is not particularly sensitive. Before the invention of mercury fulminate and other inventions, Zhang Hao could only solve the problem in this way.
On the firing pin and weight, there are also exquisite patterns unique to machining.
As the commander-in-chief, Sima Zhen saw more. But he quickly changed his focus. The most important thing now is not the artillery shells, but... the second line of defense of the Qixia Kingdom in front!
