"New invention?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Yang suddenly became interested, and was very curious about what was invented in this public loss book, so he hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

With a little smugness, the public loser replied: "Back to the dean, the subordinate of this thing named it 'Scatter Bomb Launcher'." ”

"Shotshots?"

This time, Li Yang was even more curious, because just hearing the name made him feel interesting.

Li Yang thought about it carefully, have you ever heard of such a thing in the calendar?

From this, Li Yang can deduce two possibilities. The first possibility is that this so-called scatter bomb launcher is not a major invention, so there is no record of it in the original history.

The second possibility is that the original history has changed, and the shotgun launcher is an invention that did not exist in the original history.

Thinking of the public loss book in front of him, he was the head of the public loss family who was proficient in the art of organ craftsmanship, and the things invented by such a person should not be too useless, so Li Yang immediately said: "Let's go, take Benjun to take a look." ”

"Whoa!"

The public lost the book and took the order, and then led the people outside.

Next to the dock where the whole ship was assembled, there was an open space with an object on it, covered with a piece of linen.

The public loss book pointed to the thing and said, "Dean, it's there!" ”

As he spoke, he walked over and lifted the cloth away, revealing the true face of the shotgun launcher......

When Li Yang saw it, he said directly, and the whole person was shocked!

"It's ...... Cannon! ”

Li Yang almost didn't exclaim in surprise, his eyes popped out.

I saw that what was placed in front of me was indeed a cannon, a bronze cannon! There is a cannon body, a barrel, and there are four bronze wheels under this cannon, which can be pushed and moved, which is simply an old.

At this moment, Li Yang was really stunned, this guy ...... Actually built the cannon 2,000 years in advance?

Li Yang couldn't believe his eyes.

"Dean, this is the new invention that Xia Guan said, the shotgun launcher."

When he saw Li Yang's surprised expression, he was immediately overjoyed, and he felt a little proud and proud.

After all, it can shock a genius like Li Yang, who invented papermaking and printing, which makes the public loss book feel a full sense of accomplishment in his heart. Because for him, it is a kind of success, a kind of recognition.

He Zhang, who was on the side, was also very curious, touched the cannon, and asked: "Lose the book, tell me quickly, what is this for?" ”

The self-confident public loser smiled: "This shotgun launcher is a weapon for attacking the enemy from a distance, so it can be regarded as a small trebuchet." ”

"Stone lifter?" As soon as He Zhang heard this, he was confused, and looked left and right around this cannon in confusion, and couldn't see where to throw stones, so he couldn't help but wonder: "This ...... How to cast stones? ”

Without waiting for the public loss book to answer, Li Yang opened his mouth and guessed: "Gong loss book, your scatter bomb launcher, but fill the bottom with gunpowder, and then load it with gravel or bronze or iron balls, and use the explosive power of gunpowder to shoot out the small iron balls, so as to shoot the enemy?" ”

"Dean, how do you know?"

At this moment, the public loss book was really shocked.

Because the weapon he built was indeed as Li Yang said, using gunpowder to launch iron balls to kill the enemy.

It's just that...... How did Zhen Guojun know?

Just because he saw it, he understood everything?

Thinking of this, the public loss book was once again overwhelmed by Li Yang's wisdom.

Zhen Guojun, he is really smart, no one can compare!

"So, Benjun guessed right?" Li Yang smiled, and he was even more sure in his heart, this is the cannon! And it's an authentic artillery!

To be honest, Li Yang really admired this public loss book this time.

Those things that he invented were not only inventions, but rather copied, and took the things that already existed in later generations to guide the people of the Qin Dynasty to create.

And the public loss book in front of him is different, he really relied on his own talent to invent a cannon. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

Talent, this is really a talent!

At the same time that Li Yang was amazed in his heart, the public loss book also praised with admiration: "The dean is really wise, and he can know the principle of Xiaguan's scatter bomb launcher at a glance, which is really amazing." ”

He Zhang also said: "What the public loss book says is extremely true, I didn't know its principle just now, but the dean knew it at a glance, which can be seen from the dean's wisdom, which is beyond our reach!" ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "Don't use the sycophants, the public losers, tell me how you invented it!" ”

Yes, what Li Yang wants to know most at this time is the public loss book, how he invented this cannon, after all, this is enough to advance the cannon by two thousand years.

Seeing that Li Yang was so interested in the scattergun launcher he invented, he was also very happy in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "Xiaguan invented it according to the principle of fireworks. ”

"Oh? I see. Li Yang suddenly realized.

Xia Guan saw that the fireworks could fly into the sky several feet high, so he thought, if the amount of gunpowder is increased and the fireworks shot out are replaced with stones, wouldn't it be possible to turn them into trebuchets? So, Xia Guan tried it. Outcome...... Alas! ”

Speaking of this, the public lost book sighed and continued: "The stone is too heavy, and it is difficult for gunpowder to shoot a boulder far enough like fireworks. Later, Xia Guan changed the heavy stone to a stone and an iron ball, and found that it was successful. In particular, a uniform iron ball, with a sufficient amount of gunpowder, has a range of up to three hundred paces. ”

Three hundred steps is actually not as good as the effective range of a light Qin crossbow.

"Although the effective range is not as good as the Qin crossbow, its lethality is several times more terrifying than the Qin crossbow!" The public loser looked proud.

Li Yang nodded, he could imagine that this kind of artillery was actually an enlarged version of the original firecracker.

Because the original firearm used gunpowder to shoot out the scattered bullets.

With a bang, a bunch of tiny steel balls will beat you into a sieve, full of bloody holes, which is indeed terrifying.

He Zhang, who was on the side, couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you try to shoot once?" ”

"He Shangshu wait a minute, Xia Guan will perform it."

The public register immediately agreed, and then began to fetch gunpowder and fill it with gunpowder.

After the gunpowder is loaded, the next step is to load the iron balls.

His iron beads are all processed, and the size of each soybean is very uniform.

The iron beads loaded into his cannon are no less than 100 grains, to say the least.

As soon as the gunpowder and scattered bombs were loaded, a wooden bed board was placed two hundred paces away.

When everything was ready, the public loser turned to the crowd and said, "Guys, stand back a little, it's very deafening." ”

Li Yang naturally retreated two or three meters with interest, because he was worried that if this cannon barrel exploded, wouldn't it affect himself?

"Xiaguan is going to be on fire!"

He pointed the barrel at the plank in front of him, and then spoke, then took out a fire fold and pointed it at the lead that was connected to the small hole at the bottom of the barrel......

"Z~", the fuse was ignited, and then it rushed into the barrel.

Then......

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang that resounded through the clouds.

I saw a thick smoke with fire, and it slammed out directly from the barrel......

"Bang!"

At this moment, the wooden block two hundred paces away in front of him suddenly made a muffled sound, and the entire wooden board fell to the ground as if it had been hit by something.

Everyone was stunned by the loud sound of the cannon, and it wasn't until a few gasps that everyone hurried towards the location of the plank.

At first glance, good fellow, I saw that the whole plank was full of dense holes.

What's more, this wooden board is half a centimeter thick, and there are hardly too many iron beads embedded in it at this time, and all the iron beads have been penetrated, so the whole wooden board looks like it is directly beaten into a sieve!

Seeing this effect, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

"This ...... It's terrifying! He Zhang couldn't help but exclaim immediately.

And Li Yang was also surprised and delighted.

Because, originally, he thought that the iron ball could not penetrate the plank, but it turned out to be a little unexpected for him.

At that moment, Li Yang also stretched out a thumbs up and praised: "Okay, this is really a good cannon!" ”

"Cannon?"

When everyone heard it, they had a question mark on their faces.

Li Yang was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Benjun thinks that this thing should be named artillery." ”

"Artillery?" Everyone groaned, and then couldn't help but praise: "Good name!" This name is loud and meaningful, and it fits this thing! ”

"This name really matches this thing, and this thing will be called artillery in the future!" The public loss book also applauded.

Li Yang took a deep look at the public loss book, he was able to invent a cannon, which showed his talent, so he said: "The public loss book, you can invent this thing, it can be seen that you are really a talented person, this thing is very useful." ”

"Dean Xie praised." The face of the public loser was full of joy and was very happy.

Li Yang said: "This gentleman has decided to recommend you as a doctor of the Academy of Engineering to show your talent!" ”

As soon as he heard this, he was immediately excited, and hurriedly took a deep look: "Xiaguan...... Dean Xie's recommendation. ”

After speaking, the public loss book turned out to be moist in his eyes.

And everyone on the side looked at him with envy on their faces, and said, "Brother He Gong is about to be awarded the title of doctor!" ”

The public loser hurriedly returned the salute.

It's no wonder that the public loser will be moved to tears, because the doctor, in the Qin Dynasty, it was not only an official position, but also a kind of honor. Doctor, that is, the learned person, the sage of the world, the teacher of the world. Doctor, in charge of teaching disciples, the state has doubts, and the palm admits to asking right.

In short, a doctor is a teacher of a faction, who is in charge of teaching the disciples and students of the world, and if the country has a difficult matter, he can consult this kind of person. It can be seen that the status and reputation of the doctor are so high, this is definitely not an official position that can be compared.

This is also why when Li Yang said that he wanted to recommend the public to be a doctor of the Academy of Engineering, even officials like He Zhang and Ren Bu would cast envious eyes on him, because this kind of honor is not something that anyone can get.

Next, Li Yang began to point out the improvement of the cannon to the public loss book.

Tell him that he could shrink the cannon by a factor of ten and invent the musket with a musket; Changed the gun's scattered shells to resemble fireworks, which can explode after being shot, and are named cannonballs......

This lecture is more than an hour.

After listening, the public loser and everyone just didn't admire it so much that they knelt down for Li Yang.

Everyone was overwhelmed, they couldn't understand it at all, everyone is also human, why can Li Yang be so good?

In the end, they have to sigh, maybe this is the gap between people!
