Man Chong couldn't help but clapped his hands when he saw it. He walked to the Spirit Turtle Cannon and marveled at the cannon. However, his eyes were focused on the box of stone bullets in front of the Spirit Turtle Cannon. They were polished and rounded from ordinary stones. Made cannonballs.
Man Chong couldn't help frowning and said: "My lord often talks about how powerful the Holy Spirit Cannon is. Although this stone projectile is amazingly powerful, its combat effectiveness is not as good as a catapult!"
Song Yingxing laughed and said: "The Mandarin didn't know anything when seeing the Lingyuan Cannon for the first time. The cannon body and ammunition are separate. The cannon body is responsible for firing the cannonballs, and these stone bullets are just ordinary stone bullets used for experiments. The ones we are currently developing There are three types of cannonballs in total. Shotguns are filled with special thunderbolts in the cannon body. One shot can fire out twenty to thirty thunderbolts, just like fairy flowers, but the range is about 70% of the effective range! The second type can fire out twenty to thirty thunderbolts, just like fairy flowers. It is an ordinary artillery shell, modified on the basis of the thunderbolt bomb. The power produced after the instant explosion is no less than the full blow of a first-class peak military officer! The range is the range of an ordinary cannon body! The last is the heavy armor-piercing bullet, which is based on the thunderbolt bomb. Modified on the basis, it can penetrate gold and stone, penetrate the hull of enemy ships, thereby causing a fatal blow to them. The effective range is only 50%. Of course, shotguns and ordinary artillery shells are already in the experimental stage, while heavy armor-piercing shells are still there It is in the research and development stage and can be put into experiments within one year!”
Man Chong was secretly surprised when he heard this. If according to Song Yingxing's words, in the future the Lingyuan Cannon will fire hundreds of cannons, its power will be unimaginable.
Song Yingxing then introduced other cannon bodies, including various spirit beast cannons with long range and slow firing speed. Finally, he pointed at a cannon body and said: "This is the swordfish cannon! It is the fastest swimming swordfish among sea beasts. The animal soul is attached to this cannon. This cannon has a long range, high accuracy, and strong penetration. Of course, its shortcomings are also obvious. The firing frequency of the cannonball is 70% of the turtle cannon, and the energy absorption speed is 50% of the turtle cannon. It can fire 10 rounds continuously. The cannon body needs to be cooled after the shell is fired, and the interval is about half an hour. Therefore, we can only fight surprise battles, but not protracted battles. Otherwise, the cannon body will be fragile and the cost of activating water-based spiritual stones for the shells will be too high! But the advantages of this cannon It is also obvious that the body is light, only about 200 kilograms, and it will have little impact on the navigation of the ship when installed on the Feilang stern boat. Therefore, after experimental verification, we plan to mainly produce turtle cannons and swordfish cannons in the future. Although the turtle cannon is small in size, It is bulky, but has the advantage of being stable, durable, and economical. It can be installed on iron-clad loach boats and water villages, while the swordfish cannon is installed on Feilang stern boats! Currently, these two cannon bodies have entered the production stage. The Lord dispatched Casting master Li Tieniu came to the shipyard to assist us, and mass production has now begun!"
Man Chong nodded repeatedly and said: "That's great! With the Ling Yuan Cannon, our ability to guard against water bandits will be greatly enhanced. When the Autumn Harvest water bandits invade, we must let them hit their heads and bleed! By the way, Ling Yuan cannon How many Yuanpao and Feilang stern boats can be produced before the autumn harvest!"
Song Yingxing was silent for a moment and said: "The Spirit Turtle Cannon and the Sailfish Cannon can produce 100 units each, while the Feilang Stern Boat can produce about sixty or seventy units!"
Upon hearing this, Man Chong's face changed slightly and he shook his head: "No! It's too slow! From now on, our entire Le'an County will fully support the work of the shipyard and increase benefits for ship workers. We must work overtime to rush production. Time waits for no one. We must Increase production at all costs! If we cannot effectively resist the Liangshan water bandits, the lord will have to send heavy troops to assist us in our defense. The situation in Qiguo County and Jinan County is now much worse than ours! Now the lord is cultivating 200,000 green scales for us Soldiers and naval forces must be organized, must be able to stand alone against the Liang Shanshui Army, and must be able to ensure heavy damage to the Liang Shanshui Army, so that they can huddle in the waters east of Le'an County and dare not move lightly. Only in this way can the pressure on the Lord be reduced to the greatest extent. , allowing the lord to have extra energy to deal with other wars!"
Man Chong's words were categorical, leaving no room for bargaining!
Song Yingxing and Jiang Kui looked at each other, then looked at Zheng He. Zheng He hesitated for a while and said: "What the Mandarin said is absolutely true. Now the Liangshan bandits have an absolute advantage over us on the warship, especially the situation in Jinan County is more serious." It’s like we’re tired of laying eggs. The lord has no troops to send at all, and it’s even more critical! Now our navy will soon have an established 200,000 blue-scaled soldiers. It can be said that the lord has high hopes, but we cannot occupy so many elite soldiers with peace of mind. , I have asked Li Bao and Xu Sheng to train the Green Scale Soldiers day and night. Now we only need warships. Before the autumn harvest, we must rush to produce 200 turtle cannons and swordfish cannons, and 150 flying waves. , this is the bottom line. We must not only rush the work but also maintain quality and quantity! You must remember that one more gun body and one more warship can provide more protection for the Lord and the people of Qingzhou! During this autumn harvest, our navy We have to fight a battle to establish our authority! If the shipyard delays the war due to schedule, I will issue a military order and then military law will be engaged!"
Although Zheng He was usually modest and courteous, he did things vigorously and resolutely without any sloppiness. He also maintained strict military discipline in the troops he commanded. Many of the gangsters he recruited were subdued by Zheng He after they entered the navy.
Even Li Bao, a prickly man, felt terrified every time he saw Zheng He.
Song Yingxing, Jiang Pu and others quickly clasped their fists in response.
Seeing Zheng He's vigorous and resolute style, Man Chong couldn't help but admire him, and the two discussed some logistics supply work for the shipyard.
Man Chong then turned around and returned to the county to arrange specific matters. Both of them were capable people, so their work efficiency was naturally greatly improved.
…
After a spring rain, the whole Qingzhou is in full swing and spring plowing work has begun.
After a busy month of farming and the end of spring plowing, Qingzhou has begun reconstruction work in full swing.
Because of the full support of the noble clan, all kinds of materials and consumables are greatly supplied.
In addition to mobilizing counties and counties to dig ditches and canals, build rivers and dams, and vigorously develop agricultural infrastructure, the recovered counties and townships in Qingzhou also organized soldiers to repair roads destroyed by banditry.
After Han Dai took charge of the money and grain finance, she also increased her financial focus on road paving, investing nearly 30% of Qilin City's treasury money and grain into the emergency repair of Qingzhou roads.
This conflicts with Kinderman's people-oriented thinking and Wei Sanniang's business thinking.
Kinderman had already invested a huge amount of money in building roads in the early stage, and now that he had built a major artery running through counties and counties, he wanted to invest the money in people's livelihood and business.
However, according to Han Dai, the road is the hub connecting Qiguo County, Jinan County and Le'an County, and plays an immeasurable role in people's livelihood and military affairs, which coincides with Qin Ge's strategic thinking.
Under Qin Ge's account were 50,000 elite cavalry commanded by Zhao Yun, more than 100,000 Changshui Camp, 200,000 Wuwan Rangers, and Qin Jizong's 30,000 Nether Wolf Cavalry troops.
If the transportation hub is opened up, this cavalry force will be able to move across Qingzhou and unleash huge combat effectiveness. Especially now that the troops are stretched thin, the strategic value of the cavalry force is Qin Ge's trump card against the Liangshan bandits!
Qin Ge agreed with Han Dai's vision and overall view, and this time supported Han Dai's fiscal budget strategy against all odds.
Time passed quickly, and the entire Qingzhou fell into a strange calm. Qin Ge and the soldiers and civilians seemed to have forgotten the war and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to people's livelihood production.
The Liangshan bandits also fell into silence, waiting to reap the fruits of victory!
Of course, the evolver troops were not idle. Under the instigation of Yanhuang City, Xuanyuan City, Qinglonghui and other forces, the evolver troops continued to launch raids on the Liangshan bandits in order to obtain the Demon Star inheritance and merits.
The two largest forces in Qingzhou, the Yellow Turban Bandits and Liu Bei's army are also extremely active. After Liu Bei was promoted to Chengyang Prefect, his enthusiasm for fighting has obviously increased a lot.
However, Xingyao's Yellow Turban Bandits were passively defensive. Although they had their own frictions with the Liangshan Bandits, no huge battle broke out.
Of course, during this period, Qin Ge, in addition to leading Huben everywhere to assist the people with various agricultural tasks, also entered the civilized arena to be tortured in his spare time!
Qin Ge's ancestral dragon body has an almost abnormal self-healing ability, coupled with the medical skills of Xi Huo and Xu Changjin.
Qin Ge would enter the arena of extraterrestrial civilizations every half a month. Of course, because his strength was quite different from that of the noble descendants, he was beaten to death every time.
However, the frequency of ordinary gladiators entering the arena ranges from once every two months to half a year or even several years.
And every time Qin Ge was beaten to death by his opponent, he almost looked like he was completely scrapped. However, he appeared in the arena alive and kicking every half a month.
Qin Ge has participated in six gladiatorial fights in the past three months and is already considered one of the popular figures in the arena. Of course, this is not an honor. He is called the unbeatable Chinese Xiaoqiang by the audience!
It’s about Qin Ge’s vitality as tenacious as a cockroach!
Of course, these three months of hard training have greatly improved Qin Ge's strength, and Qin Ge's martial arts has made a qualitative leap in his performance.
The strength of the body has reached the strength of five oxen, the true strength has been condensed to the point where it can produce elemental damage, and the cultivation level has entered the second-rate intermediate level!
In Chinese martial arts, once you reach the third level, you can use your true power with elemental attributes, such as fire, water, thunder, etc.
Of course, third-rate players can only simply use various attributes to enhance themselves.
After entering the second-rate realm, the true energy is so powerful that it can even be fused with martial arts and turn the true energy into elemental attributes. For example, it can condense high-temperature flames, hurricanes, thunder and lightning, etc. Of course, this requires entering the second-rate intermediate and upper levels. accomplish.
Finally, there is the first-class realm, where you can use elements to materialize martial souls. For example, when Sun Guan is fighting, he can use flames to condense the form of a Chongming divine bird to come and help in the battle. This is the strength of the first-class realm.
Qin Ge fought bloody battles in the gladiatorial arena and was able to steadily condense his true energy into the power of elements such as fire and thunder. His combat effectiveness had undergone a qualitative change. In the past, he was constantly beaten with blood in the gladiatorial arena, but now he gradually began to have the power to fight back.
As the autumn harvest is approaching, Qingzhou is prone to floods during the rainy season in June and July every year.
Before the autumn harvest, Qin Ge led his troops to repair and strengthen dams and reservoirs in various places, complete dredging and desilting work, and prepare for the rainy season of the autumn harvest and spring plowing in the coming year.
Qin Gegang led his soldiers to finish the infrastructure construction work and then teleported back to the Immortal Nest. At this time, Xu Changjin was waiting under the Golden Crow Sky Patrol Formation and was busy brewing various medicinal soups.
Since Qin Ge had to enter the arena every half month and come back completely different every time, Qin Ge developed the habit of entering the arena in the fairy nest in order to get timely treatment.
And Xu Changjin has also developed the habit of waiting here in advance so that Qin Ge can receive timely treatment after he is seriously injured and sent back to the Immortal Nest.
Xu Changjin had already set up the stove and started brewing medicines, most of which were medicines for bruises, hemorrhage and muscle growth. Qin Ge smiled bitterly when he saw this.
Seeing Qin Ge return to the Immortal Nest, Xu Changjin didn't even raise his head, observing the heat of the medicinal soup, and said lightly: "Have a good trip!"
This sentence almost sent Qin Ge away.
