Since the Shenlei Division is the only manufacturing department under the Imperial City Division, coupled with the attention of the officials and the strict control of Gao Zhang, the number one scholar, it is naturally impossible for the highly motivated Yang Douzhi to cut corners.
After a large number of divine thunder medicines are made, they are wrapped with oil paper inside and lime outside to ensure that the divine thunder medicines are dry and do not deteriorate.
After Gao Zhang arrived, he inspected carefully before asking the steward here to fetch two hundred kilograms of divine thunder medicine.
Then we began to pack the food in three portions of twenty kilograms, fifteen kilograms, and ten kilograms, and Gao Zhang naturally brought the materials used for packaging.
Those are cone-shaped cloth covers specially customized by Duan's Trading Company. There are a large number of steel balls in the interlayer of these cloth covers.
Of course, this is to demonstrate the power. Otherwise, if useless scraps such as glass slag and broken porcelain are stuffed into the interlayer of the cloth cover, it will be more lethal and make it more difficult to clean the wound.
Seeing Gao Zhang instructing Lu Qian and Fu An to load the medicine there, each one weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, made the steward extremely frightened.
Fortunately, the ready-made ammunition bags were used and the charges were completed in a short time. After all this was done, several Gao family members over there had already lifted the camouflage on the car and revealed the contents.
There were six full metal buckets, golden metal buckets, and there seemed to be iron hoops on the outside, especially near the tail position, where the iron hoops were the thickest.
Looking at such a strange-shaped object, it was indeed very different from the eight-oxen crossbow. Yang Douzhi walked up to it and looked at it carefully for a long time.
I couldn't see what was so surprising about this thing, and I couldn't figure out how this thing could send the thunder medicine weighing one to twenty kilograms a hundred steps away.
He tilted his head and looked at Zhao Abban, who was born in the military next to him. Hearing Yang Douzhi's doubts, Zhao Abban immediately said, "I know nothing."
You know, my surname should not be Zhao, but Gao instead.
Just as the two of them were whispering and exchanging glances, Gao Zhang finally stood in front of the prototype heartless cannons made of copper and steel.
Instructing Na Fu'an to continue the operation, although Fu'an and Na Lu Qian's faces were very pale, at this time, they could only bite the bullet and continue to work.
After stuffing a certain amount of the divine thunder powder bag into it, a piece of wood with the same caliber as the gun barrel was stuffed in, and then the divine thunder powder bag was put in.
Then everyone began to evacuate the scene, retreating nearly a hundred steps away, and then stood still.
Over there, Lu Qian, who volunteered to light the fire, was left behind.
After all, he was also the instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Army. Lu Qian gritted his teeth, lit the fuse with the incense in his hand, and began to rush towards the direction of Gao Zhang and others.
#####
After Lu Qian ran to Gao Zhang and others, Yang Xiong heard a loud noise like thunder.
Immediately, a cloud of blazing flames and thick smoke erupted from the mouth of the metal bucket, and a piece of wood flew more than ten feet diagonally.
But at this moment, the medicine bag still flying high in the sky is where everyone's attention is focused.
Watching the black shadow flying towards the distance, gradually getting further and further away, and then plunged into the forest on the mountainside nearly a hundred feet away.
"..." After taking a breath, there was still no response. At this time, Fu'an muttered something uneasily.
"Sir, is it the quality of the lead..."
Just when the word "quantity" was mentioned, everyone saw a ball of fire suddenly bursting out among the trees on the mountainside that had been silent at first.
Then an explosion far stronger than the first roar came loudly, pricking everyone's eardrums stuffed with cotton.
The surrounding trees seemed to have been stepped down hard by an invisible giant. They fell in all directions or flew out during the huge earthquake.
You can even see a boulder as big as a millstone flying up to a distance close to the treetops, and then slamming down again.
Looking at the tragic scene like a landslide, Gao Zhang showed a smile of surprise.
Oops, it seems that the range of this heartless cannon is beyond my imagination. It is not a hundred steps, but almost a hundred feet.
"My dear mother, my dear mother, the official family...this, this kind of flying thunder, such a powerful flying thunder, no one in the world can stop it..."
Yang Douzhi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he sat down on the ground, wiping his tears regardless of his appearance, and grinning as if mourning.
"Everyone knows that flying thunder is wise. This divine thunder flies hundreds of feet into the sky and deserves the praise of this flying thunder."
Zhao Adban quickly stretched out his hand to help his chief officer, and sincerely patted the overly excited Yang Douzhi on the butt. He turned his head and looked at Gao Zhang with a look of sincerity on his face.
"Master Zhuangyuan is really a man of God. This single blow can wipe out an enemy with a radius of more than ten feet. I'm afraid those enemies are near the thunder bombardment.
Even if he couldn't be killed by the explosion, he would probably be shocked to death on the spot. "
"What Yang Douzhi said is true. Then this cannon can be called a flying thunder cannon, how about it?"
Seeing Gao Zhang smiling and looking at him, Yang Douzhi's eyes turned red again and he bowed his head directly.
"Our family would like to thank Duke Zhuangyuan for making everything possible. Thank you Duke Zhuangyuan for making everything possible."
Even a hundred years later, as long as this cannon is called the Flying Thunder Cannon, people all over the world will surely remember me as the Imperial City Director who named the Flying Thunder Cannon.
Gao Zhang smiled happily. Fortunately, he had won a jackpot. Next, let's continue...
Three kinds of thunder cannons with different charges, weights, calibers, and even the weight of the gun body itself were tested.
Looking at the originally lush and green mountainside, it now became very miserable.
A picture appeared in everyone's mind. If it exploded among the crowd, or bombed on the city wall, haha, that picture would be simply too beautiful.
#####
Over there, Lu Qian continued to test according to Gao Zhang's instructions with great interest.
I want to see how many bombardments these manufactured cannon bodies can withstand.
After all, for artillery, you must at least know its approximate limit so that it can be scrapped before the limit.
Otherwise, this thing would not be a weapon for killing enemies, but a weapon for suicide.
Gao Zhang and others retreated to a distance and looked at the busy figure over there.
At this time, Gao Zhang showed an appreciative smile towards Yang Douzhi.
"Thanks to Yang Douzhi for your help in the matter of Suzhou Zhizhou..."
"I don't dare. These things are what our family should do. Being able to serve Duke Zhuangyuan is our blessing."
"Okay, okay, in addition, there is one more thing, I'm afraid you need to work hard for the Imperial City Department."
"The Number One Scholar just gives you orders."
"Help me look up a yellow-haired school clerk from the Secretariat Province, whose surname is Wang Mingfu..."
