Five days have passed, and another day will be the Shangsi Festival.

Dozens of the most skilled craftsmen of the machinery factory and the ironmaking factory worked tirelessly day and night, and finally finished casting, polishing and installing the three cannons, and according to Chen Xu's order, they used ox carts to pull down a long-surveyed shooting range at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, thirty miles away.

The shooting range is surrounded by barren mountains and mountains, one of the thorns and weeds on the flat ground are all cleared, the three cannons are lined up ten zhang apart, all covered with red silk tightly, it looks extremely mysterious, seven or eight bound wooden crates are placed under a grass shed near the cannon, and the wooden boxes are painted with black ink with the words of this side up carefully and carefully release the fireworks.

Chen Ping, Fu An, Han Xin, Liu Bang, Hu Kuan, Zhang Cang, Gong Lose Sheng, Ma Zhuan and other newspapers and dozens of people from the Academy of Sciences system all gathered around the three cannons to point and point at the discussion, and their faces turned red with excitement.

Chen Xu used the telescope to look at the direction of the two miles in front of him, where there was an abandoned palace, bluestone foundation, rammed earth for the wall, most of which had collapsed, it was overgrown with trees and thorns, and I didn't know which dynasty of Qin was an abandoned building, Chen Xu arranged for people to look around Xianyang for a few days, and finally found such a good place to test the cannonball.

And about a hundred zhang away from Chen Xu's left, there was also a group of young men from the musket team and a few carpenters who were hurrying to build a wooden wall to replace the hull and deck of the sea ship.

These two are today's targets.

As for the test cannon, Chen Xu didn't bother to do it, this kind of cannon with gunpowder in the breech is actually a big iron pipe, without the slightest technology at all, according to the current ironmaking process and level of the experimental factory, there will be no problems, not to mention that in the process of casting the cannon, he has to go to the factory every day to inspect, and the three cannons in front of him are no longer the same as those cannons he used to attack the Huangshi public fleet in the East China Sea four years ago.

These three cannons are not only cast and polished with fine iron, but also mounted on a base with wheels for easy movement and steering, and the gun carriage also has a spiral adjustment lever that can be raised and lowered to adjust the elevation angle of the barrel, so even if the cannon is made in a hurry, it is basically not much different from the drawing design.

"Report, Range 1 is processed!" A teenager from the musket team ran up to Chen Xu and saluted.

"Take a break, order that no one is allowed within fifty feet around the No. 1 target, prepare a command flag and a siren, and listen to the order later!"

"Oh~" The young man saluted and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of the musket team who is now seventeen or eighteen years old and has become a young man, Chen Xu couldn't help but sigh, since the establishment of this musket team, five years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in these five years, they are the most direct group of people who have witnessed the development of firearms.

Some of these people will soon be arranged to serve and develop in the Maritime Academy and the Naval Division Fleet, and in the next few years, they will slowly grow into middle and senior generals of Daqin's most advanced musket unit, and the opportunity to be a marquis and worship in the future is very high.

And these teenagers are in control of Great Qin's most advanced weapons and most powerful troops, which is also the most solid backing for Chen Xu to maintain his position and stabilize Great Qin in the future.

He doesn't mind being a powerful minister, because a prime minister without power is no different from a salted fish.

And his purpose as a powerful minister was only to better serve Great Qin.

Moreover, whether it is the court or the army, Daqin needs fresh blood, new political ideas, and new military concepts.

The great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.

Chen Xu felt that he was a chivalrous man who overcame all obstacles, and he had to use all means to make Great Qin move towards tranquility, prosperity and glory, and not repeat the mistakes of history, for this goal, he would not mind anyone's opinion and slander, nor would he mind pressing all enemies who tried to subvert Great Qin to death.

"Woo~~Woo~~"

One horn after another sounded from the direction of Xianyang City.

You can faintly hear the sound of gongs opening the way and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.

The Emperor's guard of honor who was watching the artillery fire had already left the city, and although there was no shadow to be seen at this time, judging by the sound of the horn, the distance was almost twenty miles away, and it would definitely arrive in half an hour.

"Tell the teams to check the preparations again, and at the same time patrol the surroundings and not allow any unrelated people to approach!"

"Oh~~" The five musket boys who had been standing in line next to them turned over and scattered in all directions, waving their flags and shouting orders.

The preparations were in order, half an hour later, the wooden target was installed, the last inspection was over, everyone returned to the artillery position to wait, and at this time, the sound of horns one after another was getting closer and closer, the sound of thunderous horses' hooves was becoming more and more intense, and a few teenagers who were lying on the trees and observing with binoculars in their hands shouted that they had seen the emperor's guard of honor and flag.

In the anxious waiting of everyone, soon another three quarters passed, as a black dragon flag fluttered from the thorn bushes, accompanied by the horn and the fierce sound of horses' hooves, a black-helmeted and black-armored heavily armed lieutenant forbidden army with a huge shield tap and tap ran over, followed by thousands of horseback guards holding Changge and banners, and then behind, there were five hundred Xuanwu guards, the center was wrapped in Qin Shihuang's Tianzi Yucha, after the Xuanwu guard, the guard forbidden army escorted one after another princes and princes' cars rolled over.

"Haha, let Aiqing wait for a long time, I'm too late!"

The Son of Heaven had just stopped, and before the general Lang who was with the car could stretch out his hand, the car door was pushed open from the inside with a bang, and Qin Shi Huang, who was wearing a Xuanfu and wearing a crown to the sky, was already standing at the car door laughing heartily.

"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the ministers are far away!" Chen Xu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Chen Ping, Hu Kuangong lost and waited for a vote, and Chen Xu's hardcore little brothers all hurriedly followed and saluted.

"You Aiqing are exempt, I heard that you have been busy for several days in order to cast cannons, and after watching the power of Taiyi God's artillery, all Aiqing will be rewarded!"

Qin Shi Huang got off the car along the stool with the support of the two chamberlains, waved his hands and looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the three cannons covered in red silk, and without waiting for Chen Ping to thank him, he strode towards the three cannons, his face was full of excitement and surprise.

Chen Xu didn't have time to say hello to Feng Quji, Meng Yi and others behind him, so he hurried to keep up with Qin Shi Huang's pace.

"Could this be the Taiyi God Cannon?" The First Emperor asked with interest as he circled around the three tightly covered cannons.

"Exactly, Your Majesty!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Then why cover it with red silk!" Qin Shi Huang was puzzled.

"Taiyi Shenlei artillery is a fierce weapon, show it to the enemy is a deterrent, don't show people on weekdays, so the minister will cover it up, Your Majesty today to observe the power of the god artillery, this cannon for the first time to see the light of mortal dust, but also ask Your Majesty to personally unveil the cloth, give the name, in the future this cannon will be given by His Majesty to pass through the mortal world, the name of Taiyi can not be easily added, otherwise there is a catastrophe!"

Chen Xu was full of firewood, and first threw a mysterious buff aura for the cannon, and improved his temperament.

In this era, everyone is in awe of the gods, including the Confucianism who is silent and confused, they don't understand gods and ghosts, they only say respect and stay away, not that they say that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, according to Confucianism, everything is mysterious and does not understand, try to stay away and don't pretend to be forced, otherwise it will be struck by lightning, this is the golden mean of self-preservation, so Confucianism has always advocated idealism, and they are hostile to all scientific research.

The First Emperor thought deeply of Chen Xu's statement, and his face was solemn and he pondered for a moment, and said with a little anxiety: "Aiqing, do you want to bathe in incense and worship Taiyi Immortal Venerable first?" ”

"Don't use it, this cannon has already burned incense to comfort the master in the casting of the first minister, Your Majesty is the son of heaven in the world, you control everything in the world, you don't need to be so careful about small things, please Your Majesty unveiled the three Taiyi God cannons, and the ministers can arrange for someone to start testing the cannon!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Or Aiqing is well arranged!" Qin Shi Huang's face relaxed, and he smiled and greeted the Taishi officials who followed to prepare to record this grand event for the opening of the immortal family's magic weapons, and Feng Quji, Meng Yi, Zhao Hai and other officials from the three provinces and six departments, as well as the princes and princes who followed to see the excitement, all surrounded by their own hearts at this time, and the water surrounded by the three cannons was leaked in an instant.

"Today, the young master has to offer the Taiyi Divine Thunder Cannon to me, I thank the Taiyi Immortal Venerable for protecting my Great Qin, and I will take good care of this magic weapon in the future!" Qin Shi Huang still bowed deeply to the top of Taiyi Mountain very respectfully, and then grabbed the red silk with his own hands and ripped it off.

Three guns of the same size were lined up, the whole body of steel was cast and heavy, the black and shiny alloy barrel was about eight feet long, the muzzle was five inches in diameter, and after careful polishing, the matte surface exuded a faint metallic luster in the bright sunlight.

The gun carriage is also made of steel, with two huge wheels three feet in diameter, several iron hoops three inches thick to hold the barrel firmly to the gun carriage, and a few pieces of dark and gloomy wood under the gun carriage to reduce the strong vibration of the barrel when fired.

Looking at these three strange but heavy steel cannons, everyone felt a chill all over their bodies at the same time, and the strong sunlight seemed to have lost its warm energy all at once, especially the muzzle of the black hole, like a dragon that chooses people to devour, and wants to devour people's souls in one gulp.

"Sure enough, it's an immortal magic weapon, and it makes people's hearts tremble when they see it, so ...... Good...... This magic weapon will definitely bless me for thousands of years, and it will also ...... for thousands of years" Qin Shi Huang excitedly touched the cold and dark cannon body and barrel with his hand, and his excited voice trembled slightly.

"It's such a powerful magic weapon, I look at it and my hairs stand on end......"

"I'm afraid this Taiyi God cannon weighs thousands of pounds?"

"Yes, the whole body is cast in stainless steel, and at least there are more than 1,000 catties of ......"

"I wonder how powerful it is?"

"It must be extremely powerful, listening to what Zuo Xiang said a few days ago, more than ten catties of steel projectiles can be projectile for three miles, and within two hundred zhang can penetrate a wooden plank with a thickness of more than one foot......"

"Hey, it's terrifying......"

Around these three cannons, a group of civil and military ministers all pointed out and discussed with surprised faces.
