Chapter 424: Artillery is born! Lang Ye is going against the sky again

How to describe the world in the Devil's Triangle?

Mirage?

A Lost World?

It should be all right!

It's a city on the sea, half under the sea and half above the sea, so huge that anyone can imagine, boundless, layered.

The city's architecture is completely different from the rest of the world, and it has no history at all.

Maybe hundreds, maybe thousands.

Everyone on board had imagined the world inside the Devil's Triangle, maybe an island, maybe a desert.

Of course, it may be a huge city, but when it actually appears, it is beyond everyone's imagination.

People's thinking is limited, and even if they can fantasize about it, it is a pile of things that they have seen.

The mirage-like city in front of us has surpassed many people's aesthetic concepts.

But is this beautiful new world a ruin?

Full of vicissitudes and loneliness.

Everyone on the ship didn't have time to sigh, and immediately entered the most terrifying moment.

What comes out of the water?

That's all you can say about sea monsters, they have terrible fangs and razor-sharp claws.

It has an astonishing speed, and its body is densely covered with scales, and it is extremely strong.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

The Nirvana army on the big ship shot arrows frantically, but it was completely ineffective, and these arrows could not penetrate their skins at all.

Once they hit the big ship, they can easily tear countless people to shreds.

And right now.

"Ah......h

"Mom...... Mommy ......"

At this time, Shen Ye's baby ran out of the cabin and rushed to the unconscious mother.

"Whew...... Whew......"

A powerful and ferocious sea monster lunged at him, and was about to bite him off in one bite.

"Don't!"

Bing'er let out a sad cry and rushed directly towards Shen Ye's baby, and wanted to use her body to protect Shen Ye's baby.

She would rather be crushed to pieces than be hurt by Shen Ye's baby.

"Kill ......"

All the Nirvana armies drew their swords and prepared to fight these sea monsters to the death.

The sea monster that was about to bite Shen Ye's baby suddenly froze for a moment, as if he had fallen into hesitation.

And right now!

A strange conch sound sounded, as if it was filled with infinite magic.

Suddenly, all the sea monsters seemed to be frozen.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of the conch continued to sound.

Then the sea monsters disappeared without a trace, and as if they had seen something terrifying, they burrowed back to the bottom of the sea.

A moment later, a man came from far and near, treading the waves.

The sun shone on the man's body, emitting a golden glow.

It's a real ride on the waves, but there's no buoyancy boots.

This person can't tell the difference between men and women, because the whole body is shrouded in special armor, and I don't know what it is from a distance, but when I look closely, I find that it is actually a skull armor, as if it is composed of countless bones.

Gently jumped onto Jin Mulan's boat, came to Mulan's side, and reached out to caress her neck.

"Don't touch her!"

Dasha's darkiron heavy sword slashed at him.

The person flicked it slightly, and Dasha's body flew out.

"She's overdrawn too much mental strength and needs to be treated. The man spoke.

She was a woman who spoke Chinese, but her tone was very strange, as if a foreigner was speaking Chinese.

Then, she took off her skull mask, revealing a face of unparalleled beauty.

"Hello, my name is Helen, and my father is also from the Eastern World. ”

..................

Shen Lang's Mulan City was completely blocked.

No ship can approach, and neither can Shen Lang's ship leave.

As soon as his ship goes to sea, it will be sunk immediately.

The pirate fleet of the Bloody Baron, the remaining fleet of the Ejin City, all cruising this sea, patrolling day and night.

Shen Lang once sent a small boat to the volcanic island to transport volcanic ash, but was mercilessly sunk by the Bloody Baron.

This world is really realistic, just a few days ago, this bloody baron was still doing business with Shen Lang, and even sent him fifteen sea ships and thousands of slaves.

And as soon as the bell rings, it becomes an enemy.

She still underestimated the power of Duke Debos, and when she gave an order, all the pirates in this sea area bowed down.

Of course, maybe it's not just her strength, but also the prestige of the future Sauron the Great.

Shen Lang's Mulan City is at the southernmost tip of the Bichao Peninsula, and it is an iron ore mine with no farmland, so even if there is now, it is too late to plant it.

Everything depends on trade, and once trade is cut off, it is all out of ammunition.

Any supplies will be interrupted.

..................

"It's a lot better than I expected, I thought it would be a month and a half and I would be locked down, and now it's been two months. Shen Lang smiled: "But what I didn't expect was that this bloody baron actually sent us eight thousand slaves, and now we have thirteen thousand people in Mulan City, how long will the food be enough to eat?"

Zhang Chunhua said: "It's enough to eat for three months." ”

"Three months?" Shen Lang said: "It's enough, at most, in a month and a half, Debosi's 100,000 troops will attack our Mulan City." ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "Did you expect this, so all the ships before came to transport volcanic ash, even if the production was not finished every day, they had to keep transporting it, and they spent almost all the gold coins in their hands?"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "How much volcanic ash do we have in stock?"

"More than three million catties. Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang said: "Enough, enough." ”

These more than 3 million catties of volcanic ash, plus millions of catties of lime, can produce astronomical amounts of cement.

Bricks are still being made.

"The next 30 percent of the manpower built the house, and the remaining 70 percent built the walls. Shen Lang said: "In one month, a city wall with a circumference of fifteen miles will be built, with a thickness of more than one meter and a height of more than five meters. ”

Before that, Zhang Chunhua must have said that he was going to talk about a fool's dream again, the city wall with a circumference of ten miles, even if there were seven or eight thousand people, it would take two or three years, but with bricks and cement, everything became possible.

The circumference is fifteen miles, that is, less than eight thousand meters, an average of one meter per person, and it is easy to complete it in one month for sectional construction.

..................

A few miles away from Mulan City, Shen Lang was experimenting with a brand new T/N/T explosive.

With a saltpeter mine, it was so happy that it brought tears to my eyes. As soon as Shen Lang came to the Bichao Peninsula, he sent four ships to the saltpeter island to transport saltpeter, and only one trip was transported, and more than 100,000 catties were transported.

When he was in Yueguo, he sent hundreds of people to scrape the latrines, and he couldn't scrape more than 100,000 catties of nitrate for half a year.

And now with a casual trip, there are more than 100,000 catties, and the saltpeter on the island is almost inexhaustible and endless.

And Shen Lang found that there was not only a large amount of saltpeter on that island, but also a large amount of phosphate rock.

There is not only volcanic ash on the volcanic island, but also countless natural sulfuric acid pools, a real treasure of feng shui.

Shen Lang wants to make T/N/T materials, almost everything is available here, and there is also the purest graphite ore.

This Bichao Peninsula is very rich in minerals, and a large number of bores have been found in Shenlang more than 100 miles to the north.

There is really a feeling of making a fortune, and the heavens seem to have favored this new continent, and many precious minerals and the Oriental world are very rare, and they are everywhere here.

The remaining materials that were lacking, Shen Lang also sent people to purchase a large number of them.

There are countless materials and materials, but what is lacking is manpower.

The high-level talents in Shen Lang's hands were the dozens of disciples of the Tianya Sea Pavilion brought by Zhang Chunhua, and some of them had to manage the city.

There were only fifteen of them, and then more than a hundred people were selected as apprentices from the loyal and reliable Eastern Knights.

The process of manufacturing T/N/T is complicated and complicated, but it definitely doesn't take as long as two months.

The only trouble is these reaction vessels, it took Shen Lang a long time to make all these experimental utensils and reactors.

In order to hurry up, almost all kinds of utensils were used, iron pots, glassware, pottery, etc.

Now the T/N/T is finally in mass production.

Regarding which kind of explosive// medicine to make, Shen Lang hesitated for a long time.

Whether it's picric acid, nitroglycerin, or T/N/T.

But in the end, it was decided to make a T/N/T, although it is not the most powerful, but at least it is very stable, and it will take at least a few seconds to detonate with a high-temperature flame, and it will be fine to smash it with a hammer.

Nitroglycerin is so unstable. And picric acid honors and iron react.

But the T/N/T thing is also annoying, because it is so stable that it is not very easy to detonate it, so it is also necessary to make mercury thunderate to detonate.

"Detonate!"

With Shen Lang's order.

"Boom ......"

There was a loud bang, and the house used for the experiment was blown to pieces in an instant.

Amazingly powerful and very successful!

Zhang Chunhua next to him saw this, and his delicate body suddenly trembled.

She didn't expect that this thing was so powerful, just one pack could blow up a house.

"Is it the secret killer you are talking about?" Zhang Chunhua said.

Shen Lang said: "Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a tool, and it has become an important part of the big killing weapon. ”

With a large number of T/N/T, a steady stream of awesome weapons will be born.

Of course, simple T/N/T is not enough, because it can't be used as a bullet propellant, which requires nitrocellulose, di-base nitroglycerin, stabilizers, etc., which is far from being reached by Shen Lang's current industrial capacity.

But as the god of war, traditional artillery can be born.

After the explosive//ortioned detonation is complete, the next step is to try artillery.

That's right, Shen Lang already had artillery, but instead of using the iron in the iron ore, he bought pig iron to forge it.

He paid for dozens of blacksmiths and, as far as he knew, made a cannon.

The caliber is not large, that is, it is equivalent to the red-coated cannon of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"Ready, fire!"

With Shen Lang's order, the temporary gunner lit the fuse.

"Boom ......"

There was a loud bang, like thunder.

Blood splattered.

The gunner was cut in half.

Directly exploded.

The experiment failed, Shen Lang's face turned green, and everyone around him was also earthy.

Shen Lang stepped forward to carefully inspect the barrel of the bomb chamber, this first cannon was blown up, and the quality was too poor, right?

Shen Lang has checked it, the inside of this artillery is quite tight, there are not many potholes.

The power of T/N/T is still too great, and this relatively primitive artillery can't withstand it, so it is directly blown up.

Time is too short, Shen Lang can't directly make high-strength steel, it is directly a cannon forged from pig iron.

However, the first steel from his iron ore mine will soon be produced, and the cannon will be cast from more tough steel.

Next, Shen Lang used back the black powder in a gray manner.

There was an accident in the first test firing of the artillery, but in the second round of test firing, no one flinched.

The two thousand troops under Shen Lang have nothing else, and their bravery is absolute, whether it is the Oriental Warrior Regiment or the Roland Knights, they are all not afraid of death.

"Fire!"

"Boom ......"

The sound was much quieter, but the smoke was much thicker. At the moment of the explosion, the entire artillery was even covered in smoke.

Even though it's black powder, it's incredibly powerful because it's large enough to be there.

"Whoosh......" A solid iron ball bounced out violently.

The speed was very fast, far surpassing the bow and arrow, and it was instantly shot four or five hundred meters away.

"It's amazing, it's amazing......"

Zhang Chunhua said excitedly: "With this thing, we will be invincible at sea, and we will be able to kill back to the Great Yan Empire." ”

"It's much more powerful than a bow and arrow, and it's much more powerful than a giant crossbow. ”

Zhang Chunhua was so excited that he was incoherent, but Shen Lang was a little embarrassed, because this artillery was going to aim at another house, not to mention that it hit, and flew out directly more than ten meters away from the house.

It's so accurate? It's so impressive.

One cannon has been blown up, and there are only two left.

Next, keep firing, and each gunner will have to test fire at least a few hundred shots to find a feeling.

Moreover, the first batch of artillery men needed Shen Lang to train himself, and what he trained was only theoretical knowledge, and he had everything in his brain, and Shen Lang had zero practice.

At this time, he really missed the Nirvana Army, this group of people was extremely focused, extremely sharp, even if they put down their bows and arrows, they could become the best artillerymen.

As soon as he missed the Nirvana Army, Shen Lang missed Mulan even more.

"Baby, how are you? Are you all right?"

..................

Mulan City on the Bichao Peninsula has become an incomparably huge construction site, with more than 13,000 people working frantically.

Shen Lang even sighed a little about why the slave trade was so popular in the Western world, because it was really useful.

Although they are stupid and can only do the simplest and repetitive work, they are really obedient, very obedient, without the slightest rebellious spirit, and do whatever they are asked to do.

This obedience seems to be engraved in the bones, and of course this is also the sadness of slavery, because many of these slaves are kept in captivity.

Adult slaves who go directly to the capture are not easy to discipline and will resist, so the prices are very low.

Therefore, slave owners in the Western world like to catch some young slaves and raise them in captivity, so that they can be sold for a very high price, such as Shen Lang's 8,000 slaves, which requires a total of nearly 60,000 gold coins, which is about two or three times the price of ordinary slaves.

Shen Lang also wanted to address them and give them freedom.

As a result, their reaction was very flat, and for them, it seemed as if being able to eat enough and live in a house was heaven.

This group of slaves in captivity has been obedient to the point of numbness.

The walls of Mulan City are growing every day, and houses are still growing up in the city.

Artillery was the top priority, and Shen Lang selected more than three hundred people from the most loyal Eastern Knights for training.

The manufacture of explosives is still continuing, but it is not possible to make one, it is necessary to make a variety of explosives, and even black powder must continue to be manufactured.

The manufacture of artillery is still going on, and new steel has been used to cast cannons.

The whole process is very difficult, even if there are grinding tools, even if Shen Langzhi has enough theoretical knowledge in his brain, the artillery produced is usually still pitted.

In the end, Shen Lang could only change his thinking, first forging the hot casting layer by layer to make it have enough toughness, and then seamlessly splicing it with thermite.

In fact, Shen Lang does not know whether it can succeed, but theoretically it should be possible.

..................

The blockade of Shen Lang in the entire sea is still continuing, the army of Duke Debos is getting closer and closer, and the city of Bijin is also constantly gathering troops, even if Duke Debos is not there, Duke Russo's palace is still buying a steady stream of strong slaves and training them to become an army.

Zhang Chunhua said: "Shen Lang, there are still forty days at most, and Duke Dibosi's army will come over." Our ship went to sea a second time during the night, but was still encountered by the patrolling pirates and sunk again. ”

Shen Lang said: "Is it a bloody baron?"

Zhang Chunhua said: "Yes. So when the day comes to war, we will not only face enemies on land, but also on the sea. ”

Shen Lang said: "Duke Debos wants to destroy our base, but I don't covet her Bijin City, where everything is available, there are countless silk, cotton cloth, countless gold, countless grain, as well as two large shipyards, countless human resources, once we take the Bijin City, we will be considered developed." ”

"It is impossible to attack Genesis City with our strength, but it would be better if the Duke of Debos took the initiative to lead a large army to fight us, and after her army was completely destroyed, it would be much easier for us to attack and occupy Genesis City. ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "How many troops do you think she will send to fight us?"

Shen Lang said: "At least 100,000." ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "100,000 troops, come to attack our 2,000 people?"

The army under Shen Lang's command really only has 2,000 people, and there are 10,000 slaves, but it is impossible for this group of people to fight for Shen Lang.

Once the war began, they promised to crouch in the house and wait for the battle to end, and then submit to the new master, this group of people had no spirit of resistance at all, and there was no fighting spirit.

"Do you rely on artillery?" said Zhang Chunhua.

Shen Lang said: "If you rely on artillery, you need at least hundreds of artillery, and you also need large-scale shotguns. According to the progress of our project, by the time the war begins, it is great to have five guns that can fire, and our blacksmiths are too few, and they are too low-level, as long as we take the city of Jazkin, we will have hundreds or thousands of skilled blacksmiths, and by that time the artillery will be able to be made in a steady stream. ”

"Without artillery, can we defeat Duke Debose's army of 100,000?" Zhang Chunhua asked.

"Yes, of course you can!" Shen Lang said.

Zhang Chunhua said: "It's been three months, and it's only been nine months since the agreement with the family, so we can't break our promise." She is a very special baby, you tell her for a year, she will remember that moment, and then use all her life to survive to that moment. If the time is up and you don't arrive, I'm afraid she won't be able to make it. ”

Shen Lang's eyes were hot, and he said, "If you say this kind of thing again, I'm going to beat you." ”

Then, he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if there is no army around me at that time, even if I am alone, I will go to her, climb and climb, I will never break my promise." ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "Then when will we go back to the Great Yan Empire?"

Shen Lang said: "Soon, soon, as long as we win the Duke of Debos, as long as we occupy Bijin City, our cause will advance by leaps and bounds." As long as there is a fleet of 100,000 people, as long as there are more than a thousand guns, we will kill back the Great Yan Empire, because by that time we will have absolute sea dominance. ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "Then what do we rely on to defeat Duke Debose's 100,000 army? We only have 2,000 people, do we use explosives?"

Shen Lang said: "I hope to try not to use explosives." ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "What is it used for?"

Shen Lang said: "The warriors of the Amazon Queen's Kingdom, the most powerful female warrior clan in the entire Western world. ”

Zhang Chunhua glanced at Shen Lang and said, "There were many people who wanted to conquer the Amazon tribe through beautiful men, but ......"

Shen Lang said: "Their heads have been cut off, and their skins have been stripped off. ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "Then are you sure?"

Shen Lang said: "Seventy percent, as long as we conquer the Amazon queen tribe, we have the most powerful army, it is easy to defeat Debos's 100,000 army, it is easy to occupy Bijin City, and it can even span thousands of miles." ”

Just look at the Knights of Roland.

And the Roland Knights are still a group of people abandoned by the Amazon Queen, because they are too weak.

Zhang Chunhua was surprised: "It's only been about a month and a half since Debos' 100,000 army set out to attack us, and you are still at home now, and you haven't conquered the Amazon tribe yet, it's too late, right?" When are you going to conquer the Amazon Queen?"

Shen Lang said: "I'll go at night!"

Zhang Chunhua trembled and said: "So fast, so urgent, but the sea around us has been blocked, and not a single ship can go to the sea." ”

Shen Lang said: "Go by land, and then leave this sea area and go north to the sea to go to the Amazon tribe." ”

..................

In the evening, Shen Lang said goodbye to Zhang Chunhua, Black Pearl, Lan Feng and others.

"Zhang Chunhua, during my absence, all the internal affairs of Mulan City will be handed over to you. ”

"Black Pearl, suppress your fiery temper and don't go to the sea. Shen Lang said.

Black Pearl said: "We are the descendants of the King of Pirates, we are not afraid of sacrifice, and now we are blocked on land and unable to get on and off the sea, it is a great shame, if the Skeleton Party is still there, where can there be a person like the Bloody Baron to show off his might on the sea." ”

She was really aggrieved, and the bloody baron, who was still a friend before, turned his face directly, led many pirates to completely blockade Shen Lang's Mulan City, and sent two ships in a row were directly sunk without mercy.

"General Lan Feng, the defense of the entire city will be handed over to you, and you will also supervise the manufacture of artillery and the test firing of gunners. ”

Lan Feng, the leader of the Eastern Knights, said: "Lord, if you can conquer the Amazon tribes, then you have the most powerful army, and it will certainly be easy to defeat the 100,000 army of Duke Debos. But what if you don't succeed, or you don't arrive in time?"

Shen Lang said: "I have great expectations and needs for the Amazon female warriors, but in a battle with Duke Debos, I will not completely pin my hopes on them." Even if we don't arrive in time, this battle will still be won, and Zhang Chunhua will lead people to deploy everything. Of course, the best outcome is still that I came with the Amazon army and slaughtered the army of Duke Debos to the ground. ”

Then, Shen Lang said: "Then I take my leave, take care." ”

Lan Feng suddenly shouted Shen Lang again.

"Lord, can I call you Your Majesty?" Lan Feng suddenly said, "I know you don't like this title, but I'm worried that I'll never see you again, and I'll never have time to shout again." You can never imagine how loyal we are to His Majesty Jiang Li, and we even dream that one day His Majesty's descendants will appear in front of us. ”

Shen Lang has never admitted his identity, but he has not denied it either, in the chat between him and Zhang Chunhua, this vixen often appears in the future human emperor, His Majesty Jiang, or when to kill back to the Great Yan Empire and the like.

Lan Feng is not a fool, of course he understands these clues.

Of course, even if Shen Lang and Zhang Chunhua revealed their identities in the chat, there is no need to believe that he is Jiang Li's son.

But Lan Feng absolutely believes in Queen Medusa, all the decisions she makes must be meaningful, and there is probably only one person in the Eastern world who can be worthy of her, and that is the future human emperor.

But Shen Lang didn't take the initiative to expose it to him, and Lan Feng didn't pierce this layer of window paper, but no words can describe the fanaticism and excitement in his heart, and he seems to have completely entered the second spring of his career.

The loyalty of the entire Eastern Knights to Shen Lang suddenly reached the limit, even exceeding their previous loyalty to Queen Medusa.

No matter how dangerous the work, they scramble to do it because they are fighting for their life's ideals.

Heaven favored them so much that after more than twenty years of despair, the true Lord was once again sent to them.

So when the cannon was tested before, there was a blow up for the first time, and the brother was directly blown apart, but they still didn't flinch, and they still went to carry out dangerous experiments one after another.

Now that Shen Lang is gone, they really want to shout His Majesty in their hearts.

Shen Lang smiled: "General Lan Feng, what you said is unlucky, but it doesn't matter. If you want to shout, you can shout, but I must tell you that when I was in the Great Yan Empire, when my sworn brother called me Your Majesty, I was so uncomfortable. ”

Then Shen Lang turned over and got on his horse, and under the protection of Meng Luolan and several other female warriors, he left Mulan City and went north, disappearing into the night.

Lan Feng knelt down at this time, kowtowed, and said: "Chen Lanfeng, knock to see Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

Then, the Eastern Samurai Regiment behind him knelt neatly.

"See Your Majesty, hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Everyone's voice was almost hoarse, and tears welled up in their eyes.

Zhang Chunhua found that she was the only one standing, and she was also a little numb when she saw this scene.

Me, am I going to kneel down too?

I really don't want to kneel on this scumbag, even though I like him.

But the atmosphere is all set to this, is it appropriate for me not to kneel?

Then she saw Lan Feng's murderous gaze, and the people of the Eastern Warrior Regiment stared at her directly, as if they were mortal enemies.

Zhang Chunhua is helpless, as for it? Your loyalty has gone crazy, maybe I will still be your imperial concubine in the future.

Then she knelt down helplessly.

..................

Six days and six nights later!

Along the way, they traveled more than 1,000 miles by land and another 2,000 miles by sea.

At this time, they have entered a completely unfamiliar sea, which is full of dense fog and reefs.

Outsiders couldn't enter here at all, so Meng Luolan and the others remembered the way home.

Shen Lang was on a boat, going deeper.

You should be about to reach the uncharted waters of the Amazon in front of you.

The Kingdom of the Queens of the Amazons is a completely isolated island, mysterious and powerful, barely appearing on the map.

The most powerful female warrior group in the entire Western world has lived on this mysterious island for generations, and will never leave half a step except to reproduce.

Meng Luolan said: "Your Excellency Shen Lang, further forward is the sea area of the Amazon Queen Country. Once you enter, we are likely to be killed, although you are one of the three future human emperors, but the Amazon is isolated from the world, even if you are the human emperor, they will kill them correctly, and even directly divide the corpse. ”

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Meng Luolan said: "For thousands of years, all the men who entered the kingdom of the Amazon queen have all died, and they have been beheaded and skinned without even having a chance to speak, are you sure you want to enter?"

Shen Lang said: "Keep going." ”

Mon Loland took a deep breath and continued to paddle in.

Two quarters of an hour later!

Shen Lang's boat was surrounded.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Dozens of incomparably powerful Amazonian female warriors burst out of the sea.

"Bang ......"

In an instant, the boat that Shen Lang was riding was directly torn apart by force.

This force is really amazing, directly destroying a ship with manpower?

The next second!

A big sword was directly across Shen Lang's neck, across the necks of everyone in Meng Luolan.

"No outsider is allowed to enter the waters of the Queen of the Amazon, and violators will be killed. ”

..................

Note: Today, there are still more than 16,000 updates, and I gritted my teeth to complete it!
