Chapter Twenty-Five: Test the Water Gun and Make Suggestions for Enhancing Lethality!
Fuquan and Dang Chongya hurriedly followed.
At this moment, outside the porridge shed, the queue is far away, winding for more than ten miles. Wu Yue, who was dressed in gorgeous service, was not stopped by the officers and soldiers who maintained order, and walked directly into the porridge shed. (In fact, it was Dang Chongya who secretly greeted those soldiers.) )
At this moment, on the stove, four or five big men in official uniforms are working hard to boil porridge. The homeless people in the queue quietly, stretched out the broken bowl in their hands, and after the porridge was served, they hurriedly bowed down to thank them, and then retreated to the side and bowed their heads to drink.
Wu Yue looked at the bowl of the homeless, their porridge was not very viscous, but it seemed that it could guarantee that an adult would barely starve to death. Wu Yue fixed his eyes on the stove, there was a lot of orange and yellow rice, mixed with some aged white rice, which was poured into the beaten and boiled.
Seeing this, Wu Yue immediately frowned.
Seeing this, Fuquan hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Childe, I have heard about this matter, the rice you transferred from the secret treasury is a year's new rice, and the rice in the imperial granary is stored for four or five years of old rice. ”
"If you don't mix it and eat it, you will eat all the things you give it in less than a month."
"When the time comes, only these old rice will be left for the people to eat. The consequences are serious. I can't say, the court's kindness will eventually lead to the common people not buying it. ”
Wu Yue frowned, looked at the rice bag containing the old rice, and asked, "Have these old rice been tested?" If there is a problem, it must be stopped. ”
Fu Quan bowed down and said, "I heard that these old rice are checked by the local officials who opened the warehouse, and they will check them one by one, and if there is a problem, they will stop it as soon as possible." ”
Wu Yue nodded. "The most important issue at present is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the world. But security issues should not be ignored. ”
Fuquan nodded heavily, "This matter, Lord Chen Tingjing, the head of the household department, has already explained it. ”
Wu Yue smiled and nodded, and turned around.
At this time, Shuntian Mansion Yin strode in front of Wu Yue, bowed deeply towards Wu Yue, and said with a flattering smile, "Childe, since you have come here, why don't you go to my mansion to do something, and I will report the matter of soup porridge to you?" ”
Wu Yue chuckled and shook his head.
"I have more important things to deal with. Later, you will go to my house. I have something to tell you. After Wu Yue finished speaking, he strode out of here.
"Yes!" With a respectful face, Shuntian Mansion Yin bowed deeply towards Wu Yue and watched Wu Yue leave.
Wu Yue, who came out of the porridge shed, did not stop this time, and went directly towards the Tongzhou camp.
After entering the Tongzhou camp, Dang Chongya led Wu Yue and Fuquan directly to the northernmost part of the camp, which was already waiting for Tongheliu. Wu Yue and Fu Quan sat down after Dang Chongya ordered someone to bring the chair and looked at the riverside directly opposite them.
At this moment, on the bank of the Tongzhou River, there are more than a dozen sturdy young men, who are vigorously consigning things covered with red gauze, and slowly walking towards this side.
Dang Chongya stepped forward and arranged the soldiers around him.
After more than ten minutes, one of the soldiers lifted the red gauze that was covering. Then he bowed and stood aside. Fuquan stood up excitedly and strode over. Wu Yue smiled and walked over slowly.
Fu Quan's eyes were red, staring at the giant water gun, and he couldn't help muttering, "Just look at the outside, you know it's a good thing." ”
Wu Yue chuckled and shook his head, "Okay, don't live in vain." Wu Yue said, looking sideways at Dang Chongya on the side.
"Ready to get started." Wu Yue said in a deep voice.
Dang Chongya nodded and stepped forward to signal Fuquan to leave.
After that, Dang Chongya ordered people to divert the water from the river and connect it with the giant water gun. Then he slowly turned the tip of the water gun and aimed it at the target dozens of meters away.
"Ready!" Dang Chongya stood on the side of the water gun, holding a ruler in his hand, and his eyes looked straight at the position of the upper reaches of the river.
Wu Yue looked at it with a side face. I saw that in the upper reaches of the Tonghe River, a huge waterwheel appeared, and these dozens of sturdy men, one by one, climbed on this waterwheel.
"Start" Dang Chongya gave an order, and everyone who was climbing on the waterwheel hurriedly used all their strength to stare at the pedals.
Suddenly, a huge waterwheel began to operate. The water began to flow smoothly through the river, and the water began to flow rapidly.
A few minutes later, the power of the river was reached. Swift waves of water rushed into the water gun through the connected water tank.
"Squeak!" With the rapid force of the water, there was a dull sound in the water gun, and then, at the muzzle of the water gun, the huge arrow that had been inserted was slowly retracted into the barrel.
"Put!" Dang Chongya's eyes widened, and she stared at the weak soldier who had been guarding the position below the water gun.
I saw that the soldier hurriedly got started and pulled the trigger of the water gun.
"Bang!" A loud bang came from inside the water gun, and then the target dozens of meters away exploded directly.
Fuquan blushed and jumped up directly from his seat. Ran over quickly.
"I'll go! Great stuff! Fuquan couldn't help but curse.
But at this moment, Wu Yue did not have the slightest blame. Instead, he smiled and walked over slowly, his eyes fixed on the barrel of the water gun.
At this moment, the barrel of the water cannon has exploded. Obviously, this wooden thing, in terms of stability, is not as good as steel, but in the current situation, it has achieved the effect that Wu Yue originally wanted.
Seeing that the experiment was successful, Dang Chongya ran over laughing, bowed deeply towards Wu Yue, and said, "Your Majesty, can you give birth?" ”
Wu Yue nodded, looked up at Dang Chongya, and said, "It's basically okay, but you have to pay attention to improving this arrow." ”
Hearing this, Dang Chongya was stunned.
Wu Yue smiled and explained, "In terms of power alone, what kind of critical effect can your arrow have?" ”
"If you can make arrows into multiple arrows, and on top of them. , coated with combustible, white phosphorus. The effect is different. ”
"The arrows released by the water gun will unfold in pieces, like bursting fireballs. If it is ingested into the crowd, the power, needless to say, you understand. As Wu Yue spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing this, Dang Chongya's original frowning brows instantly dissolved, bowed deeply towards Wu Yue and hugged his fists, and said, "The emperor is reasonable, Weichen is ordering the masters of the Fire Machinery Academy to develop arrows while making water guns." This enhances the water gun's attack capabilities. ”
Wu Yue smiled and nodded.
"That's right, all the weapons we develop at the moment must be made hugely powerful, otherwise, it will still be conventional lethality, and then my Fire Machinery Institute will invest so much money in vain." Wu Yue said in a deep voice.
