Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Final Battle Weapon
In the north of Xiyang City, the governor of Huangzhou, Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen led a large group of cavalry to the north, and he was about to inspect the affairs of the states, but before leaving, he turned to his lakeside manor and explained some things. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Wenwen actually wanted to rush to Anlu, but in order to hide the true purpose of his trip, he found an excuse to inspect the affairs of various states, and it was not without purpose to stay at the manor at this critical moment.
The prime minister and Shu Wang Wei Chi Zhen passed away, no matter what, the nephew of this Taizu and the Yuwen family at least have a relationship, so when he is there, the two families can still get along peacefully, and the successor of the prince Wei Chi Xuan is not sure.
It is really uncertain whether this person will do anything to King Yu Wenliang and Shi Ziyu Wenming, who are also in Yecheng.
According to common sense, Wei Chidun will not lose his mind, but the world is unpredictable, it is impossible for Yu Wenwen to entrust his life in the hands of others, not to mention that his wife and children are still in Yecheng, and he can't afford to be lucky.
Yecheng, and even Hebei and Henan are under the control of the Wei Chi family, once Yu Chi makes a move, it is difficult to say whether Yu Wenwen's father and brother can escape, and the princess of Xiyang, Yu Chi Chifan, and the son Yu Wenwei Cheng will inevitably be placed under house arrest.
It is Yuwenwen's decision to let his wife and children be placed under house arrest rather than risk letting them flee thousands of miles, but it can only be saved for a while, not for a lifetime, and the guards lurking in Yecheng may not be able to save the two of them afterwards.
So when the time comes, he will lead the army to the rescue!
You have a lot of cavalry, don't you? Armored cavalry arrogant, right? In front of the weapons of the final battle, they all have to kneel!
"Lord Lang, the water in the warehouse, together with the relevant supporting devices, can equip five hundred people, please check it."
In the basement, in front of the rows of wooden shelves, Yu Wenwen is inspecting the Lianzhu gas gun wrapped in oiled paper, which is the latest crystallization of the compressed gas technology tree, and after burning money for nearly eight years, there is finally a practical mass-produced weapon.
Final Battle Weapon Armor: The orthodox seven-year mass-produced infantry uses high-pressure pneumatic beads, referred to as "water beads", replaceable ammunition storage tubes, each ammunition storage tube has 20 rounds of ammunition, and in combat conditions, each soldier has 200 rounds of ammunition and 10 high-pressure gas tanks.
The rate of fire is 20 rounds a minute, and for lightly armored targets, the effective killing range is 75 steps; For heavily armored targets, the effective killing range is twenty paces.
The 500 soldiers with water beads in their hands could use up all the 10 ammunition storage tubes they carried with them within half an hour, and fire a total of 100,000 rounds of projectiles.
This is Yuwen Wen's black technology killer feature, with accessories such as hand-cranked inflatable devices, in order to equip and maintain the combat effectiveness of five hundred gas guns, nearly one million yuan has been burned.
Shui Lianzhu is very cool to use, but the cost of making it makes Yuwen Wen almost unbearable, behind a good product, there are three scraps, and the scrap rate of seven into five makes the action of batch equipment Shui Lianzhu a bottomless pit of swallowing gold.
If you use the fire gun that you like to see, the cost will be very low, but Yu Wenwen doesn't plan to do this, because it takes into account the problem of technology diffusion.
A firebolt that fires a projectile with gunpowder, the principle is very simple, once it falls into the hands of the enemy, the opponent can quickly imitate the firebolt, which is a nightmare for Yuwenwen, who has a small territory.
The principle of a gas gun that launches a projectile with high-pressure gas is also very simple, but even if the enemy gets the real thing, he doesn't want to copy it at all, because the threshold of compressed gas technology is too high, and the gasket alone can make it difficult to retreat.
The disadvantage of the gas gun is that it is expensive to build and easy to break, but Yu Wenwen is interested in its rate of fire, in the face of the projectile storm that broke out in a short period of time, any strong army has to kneel.
After spending so much money to make the water beads, more than half of them will probably be damaged in a few big battles, but this is enough, because Yuwen Wen only intends to use it at a critical moment, and the battle will be decided.
The fiasco of the first Armageddon of the year was enough to break the bones of the defeated side, and it would take years for the cultivation of life and recuperation, and if it lost several decisive battles in a row, it would collapse.
At that time, the confrontation between the Eastern and Western Wei, the Western Wei, which was at an absolute disadvantage, relied on the battle of Shayuan to fight the Eastern Wei Dynasty hemorrhage, and since then it has gained a firm foothold in Guanzhong, for Yuwenwen, once the situation changes, as long as he stands firm and holds Shannan, then the victory will be his sooner or later.
Randomly took out a water bead, Yu Wenwen directly tested in the open space in the basement, of course, the high-pressure gas tank used was brought in from the outside, and all twenty projectiles were successfully launched, he was very satisfied:
"It's done well, keep it carefully, the widow doesn't want to use these things, but when you really want to use them, you can't have problems."
"Don't worry, Master Lang, there will never be a problem!"
Lin Youdi said categorically, every rod of water beads is the hard work of the craftsmen in the house, in order to ensure a low failure rate, so the materials are full, and the cost of each rod is more than 1,000 yuan.
Compared with the trial type used back then, it has been a reborn change, although the power is amazing, but the cost is too expensive, and the related supporting equipment is not cheap, there is no way to equip it on a large scale.
The finished water beads that are easy to make are stored in this basement to prevent them from being stolen, not for fear of technical leakage, but for fear of someone using them to assassinate, because its characteristics determine that it is impossible to prevent it.
After the inspection, Yu Wenwen walked out of the basement, he couldn't delay here for too long, so the next few things only needed to be explained verbally.
"Go ahead and make the fire charges, and use all the stock."
"Yes."
"The widow is going to Anlu to take charge, and he may be back soon, but if things change, the widow will send someone to send an order, and the water tank will start to inflate."
"Yes, Lord Lang."
"If the situation gets worse, if the widow doesn't tell you in person, he will also send Mr. Yang to do it for you, and he will come to you with the other half of the token." Yuwen Wen took out half of the token and handed it to Lin Youdi.
Lin Youdi put away the token and didn't ask what it would be, but Yu Wenwen explained directly: "At that time, Mr. Yang will take a set of drawings and let you and the craftsmen go to the ordnance supervision to make a weapon." ”
"Lord Lang, what is the code name of this weapon?"
"Final Battle Weapon B."
"The little one knows."
"This code name is too long, and there is a simpler one."
"Please show me the way."
"Death knell."
Yuwen Wen rode his horse away, and together with the hundreds of cavalry waiting outside the manor, he continued to go north along the official road, and he was going to arrive at Hengzhou Prefecture, which was nearly a hundred miles to the northwest before sunset.
The prime minister died in Yecheng, and before the post envoy arrived in Anlu to deliver the news, he suddenly rushed to Anlu, and the discerning person knew at a glance that it was because he had received the news.
Yecheng is more than 1,4500 miles away from Xiyang, how did the king of Xiyang receive the news of the prime minister's death the next day?
If something really happens, if there is a suspicion, it is the most important thing to seize the power to hold Shannan and even the pass, but in case it is a false alarm, then the gains outweigh the losses, and the carrier pigeon communication network that Yuwenwen has worked so hard to build will be easily exposed.
If everything is foreseen, it will be wasted, Yu Wenwen has made two preparations, and the acting is about to be in place, at this time, he "doesn't know" the news that the prime minister has died.
Xiyang to Anlu, about 400 miles away, day and night to rush to it is too reluctant, he first went to Hengzhou today, tomorrow morning to go to the state and county bordering the Anzhou governor's office, that day spent the night there.
Regardless of whether he receives the news or not, he will go to Anlu "by the way" the next day, and no matter what the situation in Yecheng is, he will not make a mistake, nor will it make people suspicious, it is nothing more than riding a horse for days and running, and his legs are so tired that his legs are weak.
The sound of horses' hooves, looking at the sky in the north, Yu Wenwen saw the appearance of the princess Chi Chifan and the prince of the world, his wife and children, and they would never be harmed.
The danger of technology diffusion is not worth mentioning in the face of the safety of his wife and children or the end of his life, if it really comes to that day, Yuwen Wen will not hesitate to put the real final battle weapon into actual combat.
When the death knell sounds, those who dare to hurt Yu Chi Chi Fan and Thorn Lang, and those who dare to stand in front of me, will all die!
