While the four were happy, they brought several clay pots and the remaining gunpowder and tried again until all the clay pots were used up.
Xiao Chu looked at several pits on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, although this gunpowder is powerful, it is still inconvenient to use. It is impossible for the enemy to watch us ignite the gunpowder and remain indifferent!"
Xiao Chu's ability to ask such a question proves that he is thinking about how to use gunpowder to exert its true value.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the enemy will not let me run after I light the gunpowder," Wang Wu added.
"Gunpowder is only one part, and you need to make some other tools to use it together. Go back to Yancheng, and I will take you to make cannons." Zhao Bin smiled and turned around and thought of riding a horse, "Hey, the horse ran away, hurry up and chase it."
The four people had no choice but to chase the horse in the direction where it ran away. Returning to the palace, Zhao Bin found that the other women were not there, and only Ling'er was tinkering with her perfume in the palace.
When Ling'er saw Zhao Bin coming back, he hurriedly put down the things in his hands and came forward: "My lord, what are you doing here? Why are your faces so dark?"
Zhao Bin walked to the mirror and looked at his dark face. He couldn't help but smile, showing a row of white teeth: "Go get some water and wash your face."
"Okay, Your Majesty." Ling'er trotted to the side yard to fetch water.
After washing up, Zhao Bin went directly back to his room. Ling'er put a cup of tea in front of the table and stood aside and watched quietly.
Zhao Bin lay in front of the desk and kept drawing drawings, revising and revising them for a while. Time flew by and half a day passed. It was not until Xing'er and others came back that Zhao Bin walked out of the room with these drawings in his arms.
When Xing'er and others saw Zhao Bin coming out of the backyard, they all greeted him, but Zhao Bin just responded and hurriedly walked towards the front yard. Calling Wang Wu Dayong, the three of them went straight to the iron smelting plant.
"Your Majesty, what's going on?" Xing'er asked curiously.
Ling'er on the side just shook his head and said he didn't know. As soon as he came back, he drew drawings in the room without saying a word.
At this time, the workers in the iron smelting plant were getting ready to leave work. Han Tie saw Zhao Bin coming and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage: "I have seen the prince!"
"Get up, Director Han. Haven't I told you many times? Stop calling yourself a villain and call yourself a subordinate. You are now the director of the factory." Zhao Bin joked with a smile.
Han Tie was very happy to see Zhao Bin, because every time after chatting with Zhao Bin, Han Tie would learn a lot of new things, which he had never heard of. Han Tie stood up with a smile and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"How are the new farm tools going?" Zhao Bin asked.
"Your Majesty, come with me." Han Tie led the way and introduced Zhao Bin into a warehouse. There were all newly cast iron plows. Zhao Bin picked up an iron plow and weighed it in his hand. It weighed almost ten kilograms. " Yes, Not Bad."
"They are all cast according to the drawings given by the prince." Han Tie replied with a smile.
"Put the farm tools aside for now. There are other things you need to do." Zhao Bin took out a few drawings from his arms.
Traditional artillery generally fires solid bullets. The advantage of this kind of artillery is its huge impact and relatively long range. The range of light artillery is about one mile, while the range of medium artillery can reach five or six miles.
However, this type of artillery also has certain flaws, that is, it is difficult to ensure effective and accurate shooting in the face of fast-moving cavalry, unless it covers a large area.
When it comes to fire coverage, we have to talk about another type of artillery. This is a type of artillery that appeared in modern wars. It is also a weapon invented by our great soldiers and civilians in the process of protecting the country and striving for national independence. ---- Flying Thunder cannons are also called heartless cannons.
The effective shooting distance of this kind of artillery is about 200-300 meters. In a close head-on confrontation, this kind of over-fire can cause a large number of casualties to the enemy army. After the specially manufactured barrel is modified with a medicine package, the shooting distance can reach 500 meters.
P.S.
Hey, friends, what do you think? Do you think it looks familiar? Yes, this is the heartless cannon often used by our army on the battlefield. It is not only simple to make, but also powerful. Even General MacArthur has eaten it. What a loss, hahaha.
In fact, the more popular gas tank mortar is also very good, but making a gas tank is still a bit laborious, so I won't make it for now. If possible later, I think this thing can be added.
Zhao Bin brought several drawings of traditional long-range artillery and heartless artillery to Han Tie and explained the casting methods one by one. The casting of artillery is actually not difficult. The difficulty lies in the materials used to cast the artillery.
Traditional rigid materials cannot be directly cast due to their unsuitable hardness and toughness. Other metal materials need to be added.
Zhao Bin did not inform Han Tie about the function of these barrels, and Han Tie did not ask any questions. He only needed to follow the prince's instructions.
With the efforts of Han Tie and several of his proud apprentices, two days later, Han Tie prioritized the production of three heartless gun barrels.
After carefully looking at it, Zhao Bin felt that there was no big problem, so he asked Wang Wu to pull the three barrels away, while Han Tie and others devoted themselves to the research of another barrel.
Zhao Bin called Xiao Chu and Dayong, took the wheat gunpowder made by several people in the past two days and headed towards the North City Gate.
This time, several people ran out for more than thirty miles. At a deserted mound, Zhao Bin looked at the mound curiously. It seemed that it should be almost as high as the city wall of Yancheng.
"Go up and have a look!" Zhao Bin jumped off the horse and said with a wave of his hand.
After finding a tree and tying the horses, several people carried the medicine bag and climbed the mound with the gun barrel. Several people took out their binoculars and searched around, and found that no human beings were seen. There are no villages in sight.
Under Zhao Bin's instructions, several people dug a trench to park the gun barrel. However, this time Zhao Bin and the others brought shovels and dug quickly. After the trench was dug, they dug a large trench twenty meters away. The pit serves as a bunker.
Several people loaded the prepared gunpowder into the barrel, inserted a long lead from the bottom of the barrel, and then put the isolation plate and specially packaged explosive package into the barrel.
"Brother Wu..."
Before Zhao Bin finished speaking, Wang Wu said: "Your Majesty, I clicked once last time."
Zhao Bin glanced at Wang Wu awkwardly, then turned to Dayong with a wry smile.
"Your Majesty, I ordered it the first time." Dayong said hurriedly.
"Um, Commander Xiao?"
"Um, Your Majesty, I..." Xiao Chu looked at the cannon barrel placed aside.
"My lord, tell me the truth, is this time more dangerous than the previous two?"
"How do you know?" Zhao Bin asked with his eyes widened.
"Based on the previous two experiences and the deeper hole you dug this time, I think this is the reason." Xiao Chu said with a bitter face.
"Oh, it doesn't matter, feel free to do it. But this time you have to light both fuses." After saying that, Zhao Bin turned around and walked towards the bunker.
Wang Wu patted Xiao Chu on the shoulder and said: "Brother, I wish you good luck and a safe journey."
Dayong patted Xiao Chu's other shoulder and said: "Commander, don't worry. Just in case, I mean just in case. Don't worry, I will take care of my wife and aunt for you."
Xiao Chu frowned: "Where is the sister-in-law?"
"Oh, I forgot that you are not married yet. Don't worry, if I, Dayong, have a son in the future, I will let him take your surname and carry on your family line." After speaking, Dayong ran all the way back to the bunker.
Xiao Chu: "I *you**"
Xiao Chu looked back at the three people in the bunker, then slowly walked towards the gun barrel, took a deep breath, and then lit two fuses.
The fuse of the explosive bag is relatively long and made of powdered gunpowder, so it burns slower and takes longer. Xiao Chu, who was running back desperately, heard a "boom" behind him before he reached the bunker.
Xiao Chuhun'er was scared out of his mind. He finished his thoughts and fell to the ground. However, when he recovered, he found that there was nothing strange, so he bravely looked back, then got up and ran into the bunker.
Xiao Chu ran into the bunker and gasped: "Wang, Wangye"
"Look at how scared you are, the shells have already flown out,"
Before Zhao Bin finished speaking, he heard a loud "boom" in the distance, and several people subconsciously shrank their necks.
After hearing the noise, Zhao Bin stood up, held up one hand, crawled out of the bunker, and ran forward.
Wang Wu and Dayong behind him hurriedly shouted: "My lord, be careful."
Zhao Bin ran up the slope and looked at the black smoke in the distance. The nearby vegetation was blown to pieces and even ignited.
The three of Xiao and Chu looked at the chaotic scene in the distance, their mouths wide open with expressions of disbelief.
"Go down and have a look."
Several people rushed towards the mound. After running for a distance, they gradually approached the blasted earth pit. A pungent smell of gunpowder filled the air. In front of them was a pit about two meters in diameter.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty, this is so powerful. If anyone dares to attack Yancheng again, use this gunpowder to blow them all up." Xiao Chu said with a laugh.
"Look around at the broken vegetation and see how widespread it is."
Zhao Bin gave an order and several people walked around in several directions.
Wang Wu walked about five meters to the north when he suddenly called out: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, big wild boar."
"Fuck, you're such a big wild boar!" Zhao Bin cursed from the other direction.
"No, Your Majesty, there is a big wild boar here." Wang Wu continued to shout
"Huh?" Several people came to Wang Wu and found that there was indeed a huge wild boar lying on the grass in front of them. Judging from the size, it weighed a full two hundred kilograms. The big wild boar was lying on the ground motionless, and there was still something in its mouth and nose. Braving blood.
"Hahaha, he must have been killed by the bomb just now. There is wild boar to eat tonight." Zhao Bin looked at the big wild boar on the ground and smiled.
"Such a big wild boar is really rare. If you encounter it alone in the wild, it would be really dangerous." Xiao Chu said.
Dayong also looked excited. He kicked the wild boar on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I'm going to catch the carriage."
"Go on, go on! Give the brothers extra food tonight."
"My lord, you still say that this cannon is called heartless. I don't think it is quite conscientious. If not, it will be called a conscientious cannon in the future," Wang Wu joked.
"Hahaha, you are quite conscientious, but this cannon hits those people who have no conscience, so it is called a heartless cannon."
After loading the wild boar onto the carriage, several people returned to the mound to retest the endurance and shooting distance of the cannon barrel.
The barrels modified from gasoline barrels used by our country during the war could only be fired once at most, and the barrels were scrapped.
After several tests, it was found that the improved barrel of the heartless cannon can be used at least three times. After three times, the barrel must be replaced.
But this is enough. Hundreds of such powerful artillery pieces are fired at the same time. The power can be imagined. Even the British and American coalition forces can't stand it. Those Jie people will be scared out of their wits just by hearing the sound.
With these heartless runs, it is enough to ensure that Xiguan is foolproof.
