122 Airship Returns

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin." Chen shouted at Shang Wen, who was surprised.

"Oh, you're doing a great job." Shang Wen was suddenly shaken awake. Said casually.

"The next step is to rebuild the machine. The barrel made by this method was to be particularly thickened where the charge was fired. Other places. Let's talk about it when we find a problem. Shang Wen pointed to the hydraulic presses and said.

"Yes, okay. That's right. Mr. Qin, we are casting some hydraulic cylinders. Why don't you take a look? Chen Da said.

"You can do it yourself, and I'll see if there are any problems in other aspects. You can read the drawings casually, and if you don't understand, come and ask me. Alright, that's it. Shang Wen turned to leave. The problem with the barrel is not yet possible for mass production. Such a situation would seriously hinder the spread of weapons. Shangwen had to speed up the retrofitting of machine tools. Some drawings need further refinement. Shangwen is trying to solve this problem.

Wang Ben's musket team grew rapidly and now has a size of 300 people. Barely organized into three companies. The focus of the arsenal foundry was on artillery. Almost five guns were cast in one day. That's a very fast speed. Therefore, Wang Ben's artillery team and the musket team are almost the same. Three guns in a row. There were almost ten guns in a company. Three companies, thirty artillery pieces. This kind of firepower is already very impressive. With the discovery of graphite. The transformed graphite drum can be used to process powerful granular gunpowder. The range of artillery rose sharply to a new height. Plus streamlined shells were used. The firing range has reached as much as three miles. Although it is still a smoothbore gun, it is already a great achievement compared to the Napoleonic era.

Shang Wen stopped to look at the artillery drill. Some are not optimistic. No way. Artillery is a technical branch of the army, which is tempered from training, actual combat, and aiming. This involves math. Thinking of mathematical knowledge, Shang Wen felt that he might as well forget it. Explaining it to them is bound to take a lot of tongue. When the time comes, I don't know if everyone else has learned.

The accuracy of the gun's firing was good. It's the firing speed. This can't be calculated, but if you look at it visually, it's estimated that it will look like one shot a minute. But Shang Wen thought. Isn't it time to classify this artillery? When I first started designing, I was obviously lazy. Artillery is not classified. Cannons and howitzers, as well as some mortars used in sieges, etc. I didn't even draw any of these drawings myself. Important shells. At that time, it was just to simply increase the range, and I didn't think about these problems. Think about it. It's time to make some special shells yourself. Otherwise, wait for the war to start. That's a big deal. Thinking of this, Shang Wen hurriedly took out a pencil and took out a stack of paper, this is the earliest notebook. Shang Wen did it himself. Then record on, make shells. Artillery classification, etc.

"Look, what's that?" The soldiers began to shout. At this time, Shang Wen looked up and saw it. It turned out to be a hot air airship. The airship's livery has this big "Qin" written on it.

Didn't know that guy was piloting an airship. Without any meteorological data, I dare to open it like this. Shang Wen couldn't help but shake his head.

At this time, Wang Ben didn't seem to see the Qin character clearly, no wonder. The airship flew in exactly their direction.

"Hurry up. Knock me down. Wang Ben shouted.

When Shang Wen heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. It's all your own people. I was bombarded with a bang. Besides, it seems that he didn't invent anti-aircraft guns. This guy is too forward-thinking. It turned out to be an anti-aircraft gun.

"Stop. Stop it. Shang Wen exclaimed.

"Stop." Wang Ben had already drawn his sword at this time and commanded the launch. Hearing Shang Wen's loud shout, he quickly stopped his subordinates from firing. The men are ready to light the fire. If it had been a little later, it would have been estimated that the airship had set another record. The first downed airship.

Shang Wen saw that the launch was stopped. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but I immediately lifted my mind again. I think it's very bad. If Wang Ben thought of it in a hurry. It is hard to guarantee that the six countries do not think so, if one day reunification is needed, or strategic deterrence is needed. The six countries also use this trick, didn't the airship lose its effect? Shang Wen couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

But then Shang Wen shook his head again. The airship can be raised, the cannon is still very bulky, as long as the maneuverability of the airship is increased, it is to increase the speed. In this case, it is still impossible to fight. As long as the six countries maintain the import of artillery, the technology is strictly limited to the limits of their own control. It shouldn't be a threat to the airship.

"Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin." Wang Ben shook Shang Wen vigorously.

"Oh. What's up. Shang Wen was a little involved in thinking about the problem.

"This thing belongs to my Daqin." Wang Ben seemed to have seen the big Qin character.

"Yes, I made this thing in Guyang. The king has sat on it and gone up to heaven. Shang Wen said with a smile.

"What, the king has been on it." The soldiers listened to Shang Wen's explanation. Immediately began to discuss.

"Well, why don't you give it a try." Shang Wen invited.

"Is that okay?" Wang Ben asked curiously.

"Definitely. In the future, Daqin will set up an air force to be responsible for the sky. In the future, this sky will belong to our Great Qin. Shang Wen said happily.

"What, Daqin will have to take charge of the sky in the future. Isn't that the gods in the sky in charge of it? "The soldier blew up at this time.

"Mr. Qin, is this true?" Wang Ben whispered over Shang Wen and asked.

"This is still false, isn't there a fly in the sky?" Shang Wen pointed to the sky and said.

"No, no, I didn't mean that." Wang Ben waved his hand.

"I want to say, that air force, is it more powerful than Meng Tian's cavalry." Wang Ben said cautiously.

"This, but also the development, and so on to make the airplane. As long as it goes to the sky, no one can fight it down. Shang Wen said. However, Shang Wen also noticed Wang Ben, as if this guy wanted to fight the Air Force, and it seemed that he was comparing himself with Meng Tian intentionally or unintentionally. That's a good thing. With competition, we can maintain continuous vitality. Isn't the fighting spirit of the US military responsibility and competition? In this way, the vitality of the Qin army continued to emerge. Only constant competition can maintain this vitality. And it can boldly use some innovative officers. These officers have the potential to push for military change after military change. This is not something that technology can do once or twice. This is a good sign.

Shang Wen looked at Wang Ben with a smile.
