Chapter 337: God's Wrath
"Since you call yourself a gunpowder family, what are the characteristics of the most powerful firearms?"
"The first thing is the power of gunpowder, the second is the range of the firearm, and finally the actual combat effect"
Lin Chong nodded, the three items proposed by Tang An are indeed the key points of firearms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "That's a good point, let's get started." ”
Because the preparation of gunpowder involved the secret recipe of the Tang Sect, two compartments were separated by a black cloth curtain at the scene, one for each person, and they did not affect each other.
The first test was the power of gunpowder, so the raw materials of gunpowder, charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter, were found, and each person had only one copy.
Lin Chong asked for an extra bowl of egg whites, which made Tang An very uneasy in his heart, could egg whites make gunpowder more powerful? However, at the beginning of the competition, he didn't think much about it, and prepared gunpowder in the compartment with ease.
There were Tang An's apprentices and grandchildren in the onlookers' firearms group, and they privately laughed at Lin Chong for daring to challenge the strength of his ancestor's formula. What's more, he secretly laughed at Lin Chong, holding egg whites because he was afraid that he would be hungry for too long, so he used egg whites as food.
Because when he got the rocket, Lin Chong made a batch of granular gunpowder, so Lin Chong used egg whites to wet the gunpowder in the right proportion, kneaded it into fine particles, and then put it in the sun to dry.
Tang An's side had already made the recipe and carefully prepared a small packet, looking full of confidence. Naturally, there are his fans cheering for him below, and he is also content, looking like he has a chance to win.
Now that the two of them are ready, Lin Chong proposed that in order to intuitively detect the power, they can be buried in the ground and detonated through the fuse. Tang An nodded in agreement, and dug two pits that were also one foot deep, and Tang An tested them first.
The firing line was lit, and with a bang, the earth covering the gunpowder splashed like water, and the dust flew up, leaving a crater a foot square. It caused everyone to exclaim.
Tang An said triumphantly, "This is the latest gunpowder developed by the Tang family, and it is called 'Thunderbolt General'."
When it was Lin Chong's turn, he buried the gunpowder into the pit as well, then stepped on the dirt, lit the fuse far away, and then retreated to a safe distance.
The craftsmen on Tang An's side also laughed at Lin Chong for being cowardly, and he dared to light a fire when he was so far away, knowing that the power of gunpowder could not reach there at all.
"Boom!" Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, a flash of fire burst from the ground, and the entire martial arts field shook. Then, the mud and sand covered everyone's head and face like rain, and you could even feel the hot pain.
After the explosion, it left a five-foot crater in place.
Tang An was dumbfounded, this is a full fifty steps away, the power is so great! According to estimates, within 20 steps, it was Lin Chong's gunpowder that directly killed and injured people and animals.
Everyone at the scene was speechless, it was beyond their imagination, like a dream.
Tang An, it took a long time to realize that he had lost this game. Trembling his lips, he asked, "Master Hou, what kind of gunpowder is this, it can be so powerful?" ”
Lin Chong said slowly: "God~of~ angry! ”
Looking at Tang An's puzzled but unwilling expression, Lin Chong continued, "The second game is more than the range, you can choose the type of firearm." ”
Tang An heard that the rockets of the Wild Wolf Army are very powerful and have a very long range, and they may not be able to please him if they are hard-hitting. The power and range of the fireball are too inferior, and it is not suitable, as for the thunderbolt fireball, it is certain, but the production is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no three or five days that can't be out, and Hou Ye's time is expensive, so he definitely can't agree.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, he has been researching a new type of assault rifle recently, and he seems to have a little experience. Hou Ye may have seen the above three types of firearms, but the high-precision and sophisticated technology of the Tang family's unique firearms may not know it, it is it!
Then he said, "Hou Ye won the game just now, this game is better than trying the musket?" ”
"Assault guns? What kind of firearm is it? Cai You asked with some curiosity.
Lin Chong has always heard that this assault rifle is the ancestor of modern firearms, and he has never seen the real thing, and later generations have only seen it in books, and he once regretted it. Unexpectedly, Tang An actually proposed the assault rifle today, just taking the opportunity to see the deity.
Soon the assault rifle was brought over, and after Tang An's explanation, everyone understood. The structure of this assault rifle is divided into two parts, one is a wrist-thick bamboo barrel, and the other is a hand-held wooden handle.
After the bamboo tube penetrates, it is the barrel, which is filled with gunpowder, added stone bullets, and then ignites the medicine twist of the fire eye to detonate, and the bamboo tube is aimed at the target with the handle in hand, at this time, the explosive force of gunpowder shoots the stone bullets in the bamboo barrel at high speed, killing and intimidating the other party.
Lin Chong suddenly remembered the scene of the finger gun against the arm cannon that appeared in the cartoon of the robot cat in the later life, and felt that it could be equally funny. He said, "Understood, it's better than this, no problem!" ”
Then Tang An prepared two materials, Lin Chong looked at the bamboo tube, shook his head and said, "Go and prepare five times the amount of gunpowder for me, and then go to the city to find the thickest bamboo and come back." ”
Someone immediately went to prepare, not much effort, someone dragged a huge bamboo back, thicker than the sea bowl, the texture is hard, and there is a faint sound of gold and stone when striking.
The two entered the cloth curtain compartment and began to make bamboo tubes, Lin Chong instructed craftsmen to cut the bamboo tubes into two meters long, and then clamped the bamboo tubes with gum hemp and green rattan to prevent them from bursting.
The gunpowder was quickly prepared, filled at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and finally a fist-sized stone projectile was poured into it, and the assault cannon that Lin Chong wanted to develop was completed.
When Lin Chong appeared with the assault artillery on his shoulder, everyone laughed, such a big bamboo tube looked bloated, and it caused the shooter to be incapacitated, how powerful could it be?
Tang An's is different, small and lightweight, and can be operated by a single person, just like the difference between a trebuchet and a bow and arrow, with better flexibility and accuracy.
Lin Chong asked, "Tang An, what is this scene better than?" ”
"Back to Master Hou, the second competition is range!"
Lin Chong said casually: "Then you come first!" ”
The distance between the arrow target was seventy steps, Tang An skillfully lit the fuse, and then he heard a "bang", a ball of fire spewed out from the muzzle of the fire gun, and a projectile and several fragments were sprayed towards the arrow target.
"Puff~" The arrow target was hit by projectiles and fragments, and it was a mess, if a person stood there, he would definitely be covered in bruises.
At this time, everyone was relieved and shouted loudly.
Even Tang An nodded with satisfaction, according to this momentum, Tang An's assault gun could reach a hundred steps, but the damage would be greatly weakened.
Seventy steps, about 100 meters, and when Tang An cleaned up the scene, Lin Chong set up the assault gun in the posture of a mortar. Looking at the scene, I couldn't help frowning.
