"Father don't worry! After all, the development of explosives is an unprecedented feat, everything is new, and it is normal that there are many unstable factors. ”

"I believe that as long as we continue to study in this direction, we will be able to find out a feasible plan and find out what should be avoided and what to do." Li Chengqian said.

Speaking of explosives, although Li Chengqian did not dare to say that he was proficient, compared to the Tang Dynasty, it was enough to throw them off more than a dozen streets.

After the explosives package is made, how it should be stored and kept safe, Li Chengqian knows better than these people.

Li Er sighed, there was no treasure mountain but he was not allowed to enter the door, and he would be a little regretful.

"Everyone! It's not too early! It's time to drive back to the palace! The chief surnamed Tiele is still waiting for everyone's summons! Wang Yuan reminded on the side.

Li Er's itinerary was fully arranged, and in addition to coming to the secret base today to see the research of the explosives package, he also had to summon the Uighurs and other leaders of the nine surnames who had come to Chang'an thousands of miles away.

After Wang Yuan's reminder, Li Er remembered that there was such a thing for a while.

"I almost forgot about it! Let's drive back to the palace! Li Er said, turned around and left the secret base.

Li Chengqian sent Li Er outside the base, and he still had to stay at the base for a while, so he would not go back with Li Er.

"On the base side, Chengqian, you should take a lot of trouble and urge them to complete the research as soon as possible, and I will destroy Goguryeo in one go. Flash dance," Li Er said.

The last expedition to Goguryeo, there was no one-time elimination of Goguryeo, like a thorn stuck in the throat, which made Li Er very unhappy.

This has almost become the regret of Li Er's life, and it has become Li Er's heart disease.

Since seeing the power of the explosives pack, Li Er's mind has once again come alive, and he wants to rely on this explosives bag to once again drive the army in person and completely solve the Goguryeo problem at one time.

"Father, rest assured! The son will not disappoint his father's expectations. Li Chengqian said.

"Good!" Li Er stretched out his hand and patted Li Chengqian's shoulder, turned around and rode on his horse with Wang Yuan's support, and was escorted away by a team of soldiers guarding the base and some guards.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, in addition to bringing Wang Yuan and some personal guards to this base, his honor guard and everything stayed a hundred miles away.

Seeing Li Er go away, Li Chengqian turned back to the base.

"See Your Highness!" The base is responsible for saluting Li Chengqian.

"When will the explosives pack be made?" Li Chengqian asked.

"As a result of this study, we have re-presented the data and can already identify the instability."

"Our scientists are already working on it, and within a day, we will be able to make a qualified explosive package. Flashing Dance," said the person in charge of the base.

"Excellent! But don't be careless, after all, this explosive bag is an extremely dangerous thing, once used incorrectly, what is the harm, I don't need to say it again, you should also know. Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction.

"Your Highness, rest assured! We all do what His Highness orders, whether it is storage or others, we are all heart-wrenching, and we dare not be sloppy in the slightest. The person in charge of the base said.

"Then I'm relieved!" Li Chengqian said: "How is the musket made?" Is there any progress? ”

"According to the encyclopedias and heavenly creations compiled by His Highness, the progress of the musket is very smooth, and a musket has been made." The person in charge of the base is human.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder began to be used in the military, making gunpowder into rings, igniting the hanging wire and throwing it with a stone thrower; made an explosion in the enemy army, which was called artillery.

The first time gunpowder was officially applied to military affairs was in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, when Yang Xingmi's army besieged Yuzhang, and his troops used gunpowder to attack the city.

On a whim, a ball of gunpowder was tied to an arrowhead, ignited and shot with a bow, which was called a rocket.

By the Song Dynasty, wars continued one after another, which accelerated the development of gunpowder weapons.

For this purpose, the government of the Northern Song Dynasty also established a gunpowder workshop, and successively manufactured gunpowder arrows, artillery and other weapons with combustion performance, thunderbolts, and explosive weapons such as earth-shaking thunder.

In 159, the Southern Song Dynasty built a assault gun with giant bamboo as a barrel and gunpowder inside.

A bamboo barrel is used as a barrel to launch a projectile, and since it is a bamboo barrel, it can only be used once.

There is also a kind of musket called the pear flower gun, which uses one or two bamboo barrels to fill gunpowder, tie it under the head of the spear, ignite it when used, burn it and spew flames to burn the enemy soldiers, and then use the head to assassinate the enemy.

This kind of firearm was very popular in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Jin people called this firearm flying musket.

This is the earliest prototype of the musket in history, after more than ten generations, hundreds of years of efforts, there are later muskets and other muskets.

"How effective are the muskets?" Li Chengqian asked, he didn't expect that these people would develop muskets so quickly.

The musket they are talking about is the arquebus, not the simple musket of the Song Dynasty.

"It has just been developed and has not yet been experimented, and His Highness and His Majesty have come to the base, so it is not clear what the power is." The person in charge of the base is human.

He was going to experiment with the effect of this newly made musket, and he was going to record the results, and then write a report to report to Li Chengqian.

Before he could start the experiment, Li Er and Li Chengqian appeared near the base, and he had to temporarily abandon the experiment and personally go to meet the emperor and the crown prince.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's use it for experiments now, and the widow wants to see for himself how powerful it is. Li Chengqian couldn't wait.

Gunpowder is an ancient invention in China, and it is also the first to be applied to the battlefield and used in the military, and it is also the first to invent muskets in China.

The assault musket is recognized as the originator of muskets in the world, although our country is the first to use gunpowder to make muskets in combat.

However, it was developed by foreigners, and on this basis, the direct prototype of the later rifle - the arquebus.

Finally, it was transmitted back to the East by the Portuguese from the west, and in the first year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty, in the battle of Xicaowan in Xinhui, Guangdong, Western arquebuses were obtained from captured Portuguese ships.

The Ming Dynasty War Bureau attached great importance to the imitation of arquebuses and transformed them, and finally created the bird gun.

Compared with the Portuguese arquebus, the bird gun was more lethal, and the Ming government began to equip the Ming army on a large scale.

If Li Chengqian had been able to develop the arquebus in the Tang Dynasty, it would be equivalent to advancing the era of thermal weapons by several hundred years.

"You go and take the newly researched musket to the laboratory, and Your Highness will personally witness the results of the musket experiment." The person in charge of the base said to the assistant on the side.

"No!" The assistant was ordered to retire and go to the workshop, where he packed the newly made musket in a long wooden box, and then took it to the laboratory where the musket was to be used for experimentation.

Everything was ready, and the assistant went back to report.
