Boom! Boom! Boom!
Outside the ordnance camp.
Following a series of loud noises, the muzzle of the general's cannon was seen spraying out groups of extremely terrifying fire snakes.
Immediately afterwards, the projectiles were blasted into the sky by the air pressure generated in the general's cannon, and headed straight for the hilltop not far away.
After the cannonball landed, the flints inside the cannonball immediately collided together, and then ignited the H powder inside the cannonball.
The iron shells exploded in an instant, blasting large craters with a diameter of more than two meters on the ground.
At that moment, the smoke and dust raised by the explosion of the shell on the mountain covered half of the mountain.
The people in the ordnance battalion were already indifferent to the scene in front of them because they had already tested it earlier.
But this was the first time Li Shimin saw it.
When had he seen such a scene?
At that moment, he was so shocked that he didn't recover for a long time.
{Received surprise value +99 from Li Shimin...}
{Received surprise value +99 from Li Shimin...}
{Received surprise value +99 from Li Shimin...}
{…}
At this time, the system prompts in Li Chengqian's mind couldn't stop at all.
As the Ninth Five Emperor, the person with the highest status in the world, Li Shimin's surprise value is several times that of ordinary people.
And this was the main reason why Li Chengqian had to bring Li Shimin over.
Although he doesn't want to continue to rely on the system to continue to change this era.
But the more points, the better.
After all, as the old saying goes, be prepared and be prepared...
After a long time, he turned to look at Li Chengqian.
"This...did you do this yourself?"
No wonder he was so surprised.
After all, some time ago, the power of Skyfire Thunder had just been tested on the battlefield.
Now he has created another one, which is really unbelievable.
What is this guy's little head made of?
Why is he so powerful?
"Didn't your father say you don't believe it just now? Why are you so surprised now?"
Li Chengqian looked like he was angry and needed to be coaxed: "Why, now that I have seen it, I believe it?"
Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He said straightly: "Okay, okay, don't try to make such a fuss with me. Isn't it okay as a father?"
After saying this, he called Liu Min and said, "Manager Liu!"
"I'm here!"
Liu Min quickly agreed, then ran up to Li Shimin and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"No instructions."
"I just want to ask you, how many of these general cannons have been made now?"
"How complicated is the production process? Can the entire army be equipped with this kind of weapon?"
Now Li Shimin can also see the power of this thing.
If this thing is taken to the battlefield, it will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.
And Li Shimin couldn't help but start to think about it. One day in the future, he would lead such an army to conquer the world. Wouldn't those military exploits be at his fingertips?
What about Xue Yantuo, what about the Western Turks, what about the barbarians in the south of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, aren't they all ones that can be destroyed by oneself?
Now, Li Shimin couldn't even suppress his inner excitement.
Now he really wants to lead an army equipped with hundreds or even thousands of general cannons to conquer the world.
But Liu Min's words directly poured cold water on his head.
"Your Majesty, the manufacturing process of this general cannon is extremely complex."
"Hundreds of forging craftsmen from the ordnance camp worked together, and within five days they could only make these eighteen doors."
Liu Min smiled bitterly: "If you want to achieve quantitative production, you must at least recruit twice as many forging craftsmen."
"It doesn't matter."
"Leave this matter of craftsmanship to me."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will publish the imperial list to the whole world and recruit craftsmen from the people all over the world."
Li Shimin raised his head and smiled proudly: "After the recruitment of craftsmen is completed, I will see two hundred General Zhenguan cannons within a month!"
etc……
Zhenguan General Cannon? ? ?
Li Chengqian looked at his father with a puzzled face.
This guy just took away his own things again?
When Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin couldn't help but look back at him.
That look clearly says, I can rob my son's things if I want. Are you in charge?
Seeing that look, Li Chengqian was also filled with helplessness.
On, what is it like to have a father who loves to snatch things from his son?
Li Chengqian really has a deep understanding of that.
If one day he is asked to write a memoir, he will definitely write down all the glorious deeds of Li Shimin who robbed him.
Afterwards, Li Shimin asked some more questions about the general's cannon, and without further words, he took Li Chengqian back to Chang'an City.
…
On the way back to the city.
Li Shimin said directly to Li Chengqian: "This time, it was done beautifully. I like this Zhenguan General's cannon very much."
"As long as Father likes it."
Li Chengqian laughed dryly and said: "But my father, I feel that this general cannon is not perfect yet, at least not in terms of forging technology. I would like to improve on this aspect."
He was talking about the forging process.
Although because of his appearance, Datang's original forging technology has been greatly improved due to the emergence of wind forging.
But compared to the mechanized forging of later generations, these are obviously far behind.
Li Chengqian really can't wait anymore, the times are slowly moving forward.
He wished he could develop a steam engine right away.
If he wanted to develop a steam engine, it was definitely not enough to rely on his own abilities.
So, he now has a bold plan...
Li Chengqian said directly to Li Shimin: "I want to travel around the world and look for a craftsman who can help me change the current situation."
"Why do you have to go find it yourself?"
Li Shimin was a little confused and said: "Isn't it enough for me to publish the imperial list?"
"no."
Li Chengqian shook his head slightly and said: "Because according to Er Chen, some real masters are indifferent to fame and fortune. They have been studying what they have learned behind closed doors at home."
"And the reason why I want to go this time is to follow the rumors in the world to find him."
Hear this.
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "That's fine, I just want you to go and experience it."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Li Chengqian and asked, "Then when are you going to leave? How many people will you take with you?"
"My plan is to set off one month after my wedding."
"And I'm not taking anyone with me. I'm going alone."
Li Chengqian said it seriously.
But these words shocked Li Shimin.
"Are you crazy?"
"Don't forget, you are my son, and with your reputation in the family, you are not afraid..."
He didn't say the rest.
Of course, the reason he didn't say it wasn't because he couldn't.
But because the carriage suddenly stopped.
Moreover, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian felt a strong murderous aura coming towards them at almost the same time...
