Now going to work in Kaiyuan Cabinet is the most popular profession, and as soon as others hear that who is from Kaiyuan Cabinet Workshop, they will immediately look up a few times.

This Ming'an Palace couldn't stay, so it was simply picked up and rebuilt. Rich and capricious, Li Ji moved to Datong Palace.

Han E is here,

"Your Majesty, this peanut is ripe, will Your Majesty go for a trip?"

Li Ji shook his head: "I have other things to do, let the ministers follow, and let them planh one acre, no, two acres of land." When to finish plowing two acres of land, and when to let them go. ”

"Yes."

These bastard ministers bullied Li Ji, and Li Ji held a grudge.

Bastard Zhu Lao spicy, chili noodles, this is really a good thing.

Today, Li Ji was experimenting with this thing outside the palace, and Qing Xuzi, who had changed his name to Li Baoguo, accompanied him.

Li Ji has not studied civil engineering design, so he can't give too much advice, and this stone-throwing car is basically made according to the principles of the ancients.

In ancient times, the body of the stone thrower was made of wood, and a rotating shaft was placed horizontally above the gun carriage, and the long rod fixed on the shaft was called "tip", which played a leveraged role.

Those with only one wooden pole are called "single pins", and those with multiple wooden poles are called "multiple pins", and the more pins, the heavier and farther the stone projectiles that can be ejected. The exact time when the stone throwing machine first appeared in China is not known due to the limitations of historical data, but it is certain that the stone throwing machine was widely used in warfare at the latest during the Warring States period.

In this regard, we have always believed that the West is relatively more advanced. In ancient Greece and Rome, the West developed sophisticated torsion trebuchets and ballistas, and applied them to various military operations on a large scale. Later, in the Middle Ages, Western countries created powerful counterweight trebuchets, which were quickly put on the battlefield by feudal lords large and small.

However, after experiments, Li Ji found that the torsion trebuchet and ballista were still some distance away from the stone thrower built by Datang.

Torsion trebuchet, it is the use of twisted tendon bundle (or hair bundle) generated by the power to eject stone projectiles, the top of the frame is installed with a beam, the bottom of the horizontal twisted tendon bundle (or hair bundle), the end of the projectile rod is vertically inserted in the middle of the rib bundle, the front end is made into a spoon shape or tied to a leather bag to hold the projectile.

In normal times, the elastic force generated by the twisting of the rib bundle makes the projectile rod tightly against the horizontal beam; When casting, the projectile rod is leveled down, locked with a trigger device, and the projectile trips after loading, and the projectile suddenly rebounds and hits the beam, and the projectile flies out under the action of inertial force.

It sounded powerful, complex and delicate, much stronger than the simple wooden poles and ropes in China. In fact, this torsion stone thrower is far less powerful than the one we build ourselves.

The efficiency of the torsion stone throwing machine is much lower than that of the lever stone throwing machine, and the stone projectile thrown by the former can weigh 23~79 kg and the firing range does not exceed 150 meters; The latter projectile can weigh up to 120 kg and have a range of 73~170 meters.

In other words, the torsion stone throwing machine is vulnerable to the stone throwing machine made by our Datang at all.

Our 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization is by no means covered, although the structure of the torsion stone thrower is complex, but we don't know that the more complex things in ancient times, the worse the reliability. It's not that we ancients weren't good at inventing, it's that we're more inclined to practicality.

Generally, the ammunition of the catapult is a stone or a canister of fire oil soaked in face oil. The latter is much more powerful, and once launched, it will be a sea of fire when it hits the opponent's position.

But Li Ji was even more damaged, and he directly replaced the catapult ammunition with "gunpowder".

The gunpowder ammunition is made of copper, and once this thing is exploded, the fragmentation is as lethal as a modern grenade.

In the gunpowder, Li Ji also mixed chili noodles, and he wanted to try the power of this biochemical weapon.

Li Baoguo and they also lived up to expectations, and the stone thrower already had sights, although the reliability was a little worse. The farther the distance, the worse the accuracy, but within seventy meters, the accuracy of the stone thrower is still guaranteed.

Fifty meters ahead, there is a dirt slope, where is the impact point. The slope was surrounded by a shield five meters away, and outside the shield were more than 20 dead soldiers.

These people were experimental mice, and the ammunition was changed and replaced with ceramic. But under high-speed blasting flight, there is no difference in the lethality of ceramic and copper sheets.

The only protection for the twenty-odd men was the shields around them, and they had to withstand the power of the gunpowder thrown by the stone-throwing machine.

The development of the stone throwing machine was made by Li Baoguo, so it was up to him to adjust the angle and aim at the dirt slope in front.

The 'guinea pigs' on the outskirts of the slope waited nervously, but they were not afraid of the explosion of gunpowder. This gunpowder is specially made, and theoretically they are outside the safe range of this gunpowder explosion. Even if it was an explosion, they would have a shield to protect their bodies, so they would not be killed or injured by the explosion.

What they are afraid of is Li Baoguo, this guy is unreliable no matter how he looks at it. In case he didn't aim the right thing, a shot of gunpowder fell. It didn't fall to the point of impact, but to his head, not to mention the helmet, and the shield couldn't stop it.

Li Baoguo adjusted for a long time, and Li Ji was a little impatient: "Li Baoguo, can you fucking do it?"

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry, take a look at it." Li Baoguo tinkered with the stone throwing machine he had developed for a while, then stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay, now as long as you move this machine, the ammunition can be shot into the dirt pit opposite."

A rock-throwing cart can have as few as a few dozen people, and as many as 200 people can ensure the launch, and there are already guards waiting with torches.

Li Ji thinks how unreliable: "Li Baoguo, you won't miss it." Tell you, if you miss the shot, you can't hit that pit, and you will die if you land next to the guards. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister guarantees with his head, such a close distance will definitely not deceive." Li Baoguo swore an oath.

Li Ji looked at him: "Yes, since you are so confident, I will fulfill you." Now you put on your helmet and take a shield and go to the crater and stand on the other side. ”

Li Baoguo's face immediately changed: "Your Majesty, this ......"

"Why, didn't you say you couldn't shoot it off the rails. I just want to test the power of this pepper bomb, go ahead! If you dare not go, you will be disrespectful. ”

Li Baoguo's whole body was cold, and Youwei took off a helmet from the guard, and took over a shield: "Lord Li, go quickly."

Li Baoguo immediately didn't swear so much: "Your Majesty, I'll take a look at this catapult again and recalibrate it."

Li Ji: "Come on, the military stick is waiting!"

Li Baoguo was frightened: "Okay, okay, let's go." took the helmet and buckled it on his head, and trembled and told the guard with the trigger: "Look at it, don't miss!"

After speaking, Li Baoguo took the shield and went over step by step.

The igniter ignites the gunpowder fuse, and the slinger wrenches the flicker.

'Whoosh! With a thud, the gunpowder jar flew out under the impetus of the stone thrower.

"Bang!" With a bang, it hit the mound of dirt that was aimed at just now.

Gunpowder burst with smoke, and the heat knocked down the surrounding 'guinea pigs'. Li Baoguo was also knocked to the ground by this huge heat wave, and the shield in his hand flew out.

Smoke billowed and these 'lab mice' couldn't stop coughing. The chili noodles mixed with the smoke and dust are comparable to biochemical weapons, and these fried half-cooked chili noodles are extremely lethal after being exploded by gunpowder.

Tears and snot made Li Baoguo feel like he was in a blazing fire, this bastard Zhu Lao Lao was almost fatal. The spicy chicken chokes you and you cough incessantly, tears flow uncontrollably, and what hurts your eyes, neck, ears, and other weak skin areas are hot and painful.

"Spicy! Spicy, spicy! It's spicy, water, I want water! ”

"Ahem, I can't stand it anymore, I'm out of breath, it's spicy."

The 'lab mice' threw away their helmets and shields, ran to a few water tanks in the distance, and then plunged headlong into the water tanks, where they were instantly comfortable.

The breeze blew, and Li Ji couldn't help coughing a few times. This variety of chili peppers is really hot enough, and if this thing explodes in the ground formation, the enemy will not be scared.

Although it is said that chili noodles are not lethal, in this era when no one has ever seen such a thing, if you shout in front of the battle: "This is the bastard Zhu Lao Spicy, extremely poisonous, and the life of the person who hears it is not guaranteed!" It is estimated that the enemy army will be in chaos when it arrives.

When Li Baoguo ran over, his whole person turned red: "Your Majesty, ahem, this thing is too powerful!"

The ministers of Hanyuan Hall were a little unlucky, and they were escorted to the grain base again this morning. I didn't see Li Ji this time, Fu Quan was watching them.

The selfless Fuquan six relatives did not admit it: "Your Majesty has a decree, you adults must finish planing these two acres of peanuts before going to court." If anyone dares to be lazy, don't blame me for being polite! ”

Someone bribed slightly, and Dugu ran over: "That, Fuquan Inner Servant." I've had diarrhea recently, and it's really inconvenient, so don't you want me to take a day off? ”

Fuquan waved his hand: "Come on, the toilet is waiting." Lord Dugu, even if you have diarrhea, you have to finish shaving peanuts before you can retreat. Your Majesty said, whoever wants to slip away can go there and get the twenty boards by himself. ”

Everyone looked for the direction of Fuquan's finger, and saw two guards holding two wooden sticks and a bench. The wooden stick in the guard's hand was long and thick, and the ministers couldn't help but shudder.

Cui Yuan is a person who understands, he pulled Dugu Yuan: "Lord Dugu, plan, Your Majesty is taking revenge on us, last time we didn't agree with the money of His Majesty's user department."

Dugu looked at him: "It's all your fault, it's you who is against it."

Cui Yuan angrily threw the hoe on the ground: "Hey, I said Lord Dugu, you were the loudest at that time." Say that Your Majesty's opening of the cabinet will make the treasury empty, and people will move the country. ”

"I, when did I say it, it's not all you, you oppose it first."

"It's you."

"It's you!"

The ministers were shaving peanuts while complaining to each other. It's all you who provoked the Son of Heaven, and now you're being retaliated against, so many peanuts, when will they be finished.

Peanuts are different from corn in that they need to be scraped out to shake off the soil and then placed on the ground to be dried. The peanuts on the two acres of land were busy for most of the day, and they were all tired like dogs.

Fuquan, the evil Fuquan actually learned to do business. He took the teapot: "Ladies and gentlemen, who is thirsty?"

When the ministers saw it, they threw away their hoes one after another: "Give it to me, I'll have a bowl."

"Give it to me, give it to me, I'm dying of thirst."

Fuquan: "A bowl of tea is twenty wen."

"You, you're robbing money!" Someone pointed at him and yelled.

Fuquan snatched the teapot: "Now the price has risen, thirty wen a bowl, do you like to drink it or not."

"I, I'll have a bowl!" Dugu Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed a tea bowl and took out twenty Wen and gave it to Fuquan.

Cui Yuan next to him swallowed his saliva: "That, Lord Dugu." I'm in a hurry to go out, and I didn't bring any money, how about I lend you sixty yuan first? ”

Dugu immediately vigilantly: "If you don't borrow it, the old man won't bring much."

Cui Yuan had no choice but to turn around and ask for Fuquan, with a flattering face: "Fu Nei, can you take credit?"

"This is a small profit, and there is no credit. Cash trading, Tong Su is not bullied! ”
