Yang Ling said as he took out a stack of paper from his arms and spread it on the case.
Huang Yueying handed Yang Yue to the nurse beside her, picked up the paper and read it carefully.
I saw that the things painted on it looked a little weird.
Below is a square cabinet with four copper pipes connected to a long tube placed horizontally.
"Husband, what on earth is this?"
Huang Yueying's fair face was full of doubts and confusion.
"This thing is called the Fiery Oil Cabinet."
Yang Ling smiled slightly, pointed at the drawings, and explained to Huang Yueying.
"You just need to do this, and then the oil inside will spurt out..."
"Oh, by the way, you've never seen oil, right?"
Yang Ling asked Zhou Cang to bring in a jar of oil and show it in front of the girls.
Although they were quite surprised that the oil fire would not be extinguished by water, the girls were still not interested.
After seeing the excitement, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
"How about it? Can it be made?"
Yang Ling said with great expectation.
"It should be possible, but it will take time."
Huang Yueying nodded.
"That's great, Yueying!"
Yang Ling smiled and kissed Huang Yueying on the face.
Even though they are an old couple, Huang Yueying still couldn't help but blush.
As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, oil was used in wars.
But at that time, people mostly used petroleum as an arson material.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that gunpowder was used for military purposes, and craftsmen at that time invented the world's earliest fierce fire oil tank that could continuously spit fire.
Its structure and principle are very similar to modern flamethrowers.
In his previous life, Yang Ling saw a fierce fire oil tank when he visited the History Museum.
He was extremely interested in it at the time and did some research on it, but he didn't expect that it would be useful today.
"Don't worry, husband, the finished product should be ready within seven days!"
"Thank you madam!"
Yang Ling is overjoyed!
…
After the end of the Liangzhou War, it was rare for the Han Empire to calm down.
Yang Ling also stayed at home leisurely, spending time with his wife, concubines and children.
Occasionally, he would cook and prepare a large table of delicacies, and invite Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Ma Chao and others to his house for a few drinks.
Finally, on the sixth day after Yang Ling returned, Huang Yueying sent someone back from the craftsman's workshop responsible for researching and building ordnance to inform Yang Ling that the Menghuo Oil Tank had been built.
Upon hearing the news, Yang Ling was immediately refreshed.
He immediately asked Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao to call all the generals with whom they had good relations, such as Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Ma Chao, Pang De, etc.
The group left Xudu City and went straight to the craftsman's workshop outside the city.
After many interrogations, they finally came to a courtyard.
At this time, Huang Yueying was leading a group of craftsmen to inspect the copper cabinets in the courtyard.
Seeing Yang Ling and the others arriving, Huang Yueying dropped what she was doing and walked forward with a smile.
"Husband, generals, you are here."
"Thank you for your hard work, madam."
Yang Ling smiled and nodded, looking towards the copper cabinet.
Although there are some slight differences, we can generally confirm that this is the Fierce Fire Oil Tank!
"Is this thing... really as powerful as Brother Ziyi said?"
Gan Ning walked around the fierce fire oil tank and muttered.
"Hey, since you don't believe it, then I'll open your eyes!"
Yang Ling nodded towards Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying immediately called for a team of craftsmen and asked them to bring the fierce fire oil cabinet to a school ground specially used for ordnance training.
I saw a dozen dummies made of wood and straw piled on the ground.
The craftsman responsible for operating the fierce fire oil cabinet first ignited the gunpowder contained in the copper tube called a pump.
Then they pulled the pump hard to compress air into the oil tank.
"call!"
A hot fire dragon spurted out from the fire oil tank!
Even though they were far apart, everyone still felt a heat wave coming towards their faces!
But the dummy who was twenty steps away from the fierce fire oil tank was directly swallowed by the fire dragon!
Not to mention other people, even Yang Ling was shocked when he saw this scene!
Darling, twenty steps is almost thirty meters!
When the two armies are fighting, if it comes so suddenly, who can withstand it?
The most important thing is that the fierce fire oil tank is not only lethal, but also shocking!
Just imagine, the person who was sprayed had a raging fire on his body that couldn't be extinguished!
They kept screaming and wailing until they died!
Seeing this scene, will his companions lose their courage?
"...Brother Ziyi, my horizons are too small."
Gan Ning swallowed and said dryly.
"If this thing is used to defend the city, it will be extremely powerful!"
Pang De touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"It's not limited to defending the city. If it's a water battle, it would be most suitable!"
Gan Ning interjected.
When Yang Ling heard this, his eyes lit up!
yes.
When fighting against the Jiangdong navy in the future, if he attacks Sun Quan's warship like this, he will fight with himself!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel elated.
"Next, I still have to ask Madam to mass-produce the Fierce Fire Oil Tank."
"The craftsmanship of the Menghuo oil tank still needs to be improved, but that's okay. If you want to mass-produce it, there are other problems."
Huang Yueying frowned slightly and said with a wry smile,
"It costs too much copper."
What is commonly used in the world today is not silver, but copper coins.
The entire Menghuo oil tank is made of copper, which costs at least the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of copper coins!
"Ma'am, let's make it according to the situation. We can make as many as we can."
Yang Ling comforted her with a few words and thought about it, should she vigorously promote silver, or should she find ways to discover more copper mines?
After finishing their visit to the Menghuo Oil Tank, everyone left the craftsman's workshop with some unsatisfied expectations.
Until after returning home, Yang Ling was still thinking about how to get more copper to build more fierce oil cabinets.
"Husband."
Mi Zhen suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong, Zhen'er?"
Yang Ling said a little strangely.
"Sister Qing just came back from Duke Wei's mansion. For some reason, she seems to be in a bad mood."
Mi Zhen reminded.
Cao Qing greeted Yang Ling yesterday and said she was going back to her parents' home.
Both families were in Xudu, not far apart. Cao Qing had to go back every now and then, but Yang Ling didn't take it to heart.
But I didn't expect that Cao Qing would be a little unhappy when she came back today.
Did something happen?
Yang Ling was confused and walked towards Cao Qing's room.
Sure enough, as Mi Zhen said, Cao Qing was sitting there glumly, while Guo Zhao was helping to coax Yang Yuan.
"Ma'am, what's going on? Did someone offend you?"
Yang Ling smiled and sat down next to Cao Qing, holding her in his arms.
"It's still because of you, husband."
Although Cao Qing leaned on his shoulder obediently, her red lips pursed, obviously unhappy.
"My husband hasn't done anything, why did I offend you again?"
Yang Ling said innocently.
"What happened today is that my husband really offended Sister Qing."
Guo Zhao on the side pursed his lips and smiled.
