Chapter 201: Playing with Fire

What a big dick...... The people who gradually came to the test site looked at the thing that was more than twice as large as the ballista that the Dongping army was now equipped with, and next to this huge cannon, there were more than a dozen ballistas, catapults, divine arm bows and other large ordnance lined up. Behind these big guys, rows of wooden boxes are stacked. At the back of the wooden crates, there was plenty of buffer space, and a considerable number of wooden crates filled with sand were also prepared. Once these things are burned, they can't be extinguished just by watering, and everyone has long had such a consciousness.

"What are you doing with so many people...... And you, Chi Lei, these things have nothing to do with your scout cavalry team, what are you here to make a fuss about? In the face of the surging many acquaintances, Ye Tao had no temper at all. Here in the test ground, almost all the commanders from Dai Yun to the battalion level have arrived, and only a few unlucky ghosts have not drawn lots to stay in their respective defense areas just in case. It is estimated that after the observation, Ye Tao will be able to work here on the spot and discuss various strategies for further reorganizing and strengthening the army in Yunzhou. Originally, Ye Tao wanted to postpone this inevitable meeting until at least a month later, and it seemed that everyone was in a hurry.

"Don't say that, it hurts your feelings." Chi Lei said with a smile: "Ye Jingluo, if you don't call us, we have to come by ourselves in a hurry." The whole army in Yunzhou has changed its clothes, such a big thing, if you don't speak, we don't have the bottom of our hearts. ”

"Do you know why I didn't look for you?" Ye Tao asked with a wry smile.

"You know, don't you just don't have that much money now. Now look at it, the Blood Qijun really doesn't use money as money, but why don't you give us an explanation? When did the costume change start, and how did it work? Chi Lei continued to say with a hippie smile.

Ye Tao didn't have much to do with Chi Lei's lively and presumptuous attitude, this kind of character was really inconsistent with the scout cavalry's style that needed to be flexible and forbearing. It's hard to believe that he can bring out one elite scout cavalry after another. It is understandable that Chi Lei is in a hurry about changing clothes and other military affairs. The two armies of the Frost Wolf and Silver Wings under his command have not yet been replenished, but after having such a large number of establishments, Chi Lei knows that in fact, in addition to being scouts, these two armies already have the ability to carry out battlefield attack missions, and he needs to equip at least a group of soldiers to practice tactics and determine the training methods of the two armies, so as to find a means to give full play to the capabilities of the two armies on the battlefield in the future. Naturally, after a change in the battlefield mission. In the end, what equipment does the Frost Wolf Silver Wing Army need now, he is not very sure in his heart, but it is definitely different from the scout cavalry battalion of the Blood Qi Army before.

"Let's watch the demonstration first......" Ye Tao said helplessly: "I promise you that you will definitely start with your Frost Wolf Silver Wing two armies to change their outfits, but it is impossible to be in place at one time at the beginning, let's find a way to change the equipment of three thousand people for you first." It was transferred from the Danyang workshop, and then the refitting had to wait for the factory in Suiyuan to start, or wait for the factory equipment here to be installed. ”

Chi Lei said with satisfaction: "That's fine." He then asked, "Isn't it supposed to be classified military intelligence this time to play the Fierce Fire Oil II and Marsbomb II this time?" How can those Persians come? You're not afraid of those ...... The impeachment? ”

Chi Lei muttered and skipped sensitive words. Ye Tao smiled and said, "Lord Qu Yan is in charge of the Imperial History Terrace, and now life is much better. Feng Hao is the most important staff member in the Jingluo Mansion. As for the impeachment of other loose officials and idle officials, there is no need to take it to heart. And. That group of Persians didn't come to see the demonstration. They were sent by the old man Qi to Danyang to meet His Majesty before they came to Yunzhou, as if they wanted to discuss something. Catching up with the demo can only be said to be a good time. His Majesty's Flying Eagle Biography makes it clear. Hopefully, the Samir family will be brought to help. ”

"Help?" Chi Lei pondered this statement for a moment and asked, "Could it be that the Samir family is preparing to establish a country over there?" ”

Ye Tao smiled and did not answer. The children of a family like Chi Lei have a father who ranks in the third place, and all kinds of news, various strategies or schemes have grown up with them, and they have long infiltrated into their bones. Although Chi Lei's expectation is bold, it is not a big mistake. The Samir family has grown and grown over the years. In the Middle East, where the Samir family is located, all kinds of forces, whether secular, religious, commercial, political, academic, royal power, commoners, obvious, or secretive, have a ...... The complex political and social environment has faintly reacted differently to the strength of the Samir family, which has grown to the point where it has grown to the present point, with some clinging to them and getting close to them, and some constantly slandering and suppressing them. And all this finally made the elder group of the Samir family start to think about a question: whether to take everything into their hands.

The Samir family excelled in naval warfare. But on the ground. Since they have always taken control of the military power by indirectly controlling the kings of some local tycoons, provincial governors, or very small kingdoms, or simply taking advantage of the situation. But there is no heroic division that can pull it out and win on the battlefield. Before he had direct contact with the representatives of the Samir family, Ye Tao didn't know whether the Samir family thought of him, an official with profound experience in army building and reorganization and a considerable weight in a military power like Dongping, and wanted to seek experience in training and preparation through him, or just wanted him to approve a series of military technologies, such as more sophisticated and long-range ballista technology, such as improved mechanical sights, or Mars bombs that they should have heard of. What about the type 2 products of fierce fire oil? Although the original product of the Mars bomb did not become a technology controlled by Dongping at the beginning because of Gao Jiazhi's obstruction, which brought a lot of trouble to Ye Tao, the current type two of Mars bomb and fierce fire oil are all things that have been filed in the Dongping Military Department and the Forbidden Army Command Post, and the Samir family must have Dongping's official approval if they want to obtain these two technologies.

Representatives of the Samir family arrived a little late. Unlike the officers of Yunzhou who came in groups, they set out from Thunder Cliff at dawn, and arrived at the Yunzhou branch of Ye's workshop after noon, and after learning that everything was ready for the firearms demonstration, the representatives of the Samir family immediately rushed to the test site.

All the people who came to participate in the observation site were arranged on a hillside, and the seats were very loose. In front of each of them was a pair of binoculars with a much wider angle of view than the monoculars used by the scouts. Behind the main guests, there are six simple seats for the guards or their entourage. The apprentices of Yip's Workshop also prepared a wealth of tea and refreshments on one side, and in case the weather may change at any time, they have prepared a lot of folding canopies and paper umbrellas that can be supported at any time. This style is already a habitual arrangement of Yip's workshop when it is demonstrating to customers, and today it may just be a telescope for each customer. If it's a demonstration of a civilian product, furniture or other utensils, it's normal. But when the products on display today turned into a series of products designed to burn and destroy more efficiently, this arrangement inevitably reminded Ye Tao of the new product launch and reception type activities of the super military-industrial complex in capitalist countries.

"Senior brother, can you start?" Suo Zheng, who was born in the workshop and is now a general, also came to the workshop today, he had already seen the projectile devices up close, and then he was very excited to grab the command of the entire demonstration. When he saw that the belated representative of the Samir family had already taken his seat, he came to ask for advice. And this senior brother fully shows his cordial feelings for the workshop and his intimate relationship with Ye Taodi.

"Let's get started." Ye Tao said lightly.

Suo Zheng took the Blood Qi Army's compound bow and a fire arrow from the guards beside him. The arrow was fired far away in the direction of the center of the empty test site.

With a sharp whistle, the demonstrators of the heavy equipment department of Yip's Workshop, who had been waiting for a long time in the launch area, were busy.

"Check the ruler! Seven hundred steps! …… The wind direction is four points, and the wind force is three levels. A stout and serious middle-aged technician yelled as he looked at the current weather data presented by several apprentices.

"Checked!" A quick response rang out. Although none of the heavy equipment departments of Ye's Workshop are soldiers, they deal with these things all day long. In terms of shooting accuracy and speed, they are no worse than the heavy equipment battalions of the Blood Qi Army. And their ability to master the latest models of various shooting auxiliary equipment made the sergeants and officers of the Blood Qi Army's heavy equipment battalion sigh.

"Load a deflagration bomb. Start at 700 paces and close the range by 20 paces per shot. A total of five rounds of shooting, listen to my orders. The technician yelled.

The apprentices immediately filled the torsion springs on the ballistae, and attached a circle of white lacquer-stained clay pots to the end of the slides.

"Ready!" A flurry of voices rang out.

"First round, shoot! …… Round 2, shooting! …… The third round ............" The technician pressed the computer and looked at the frequency of the apprentices in his control, completing five rounds of shooting in a short time.

The apprentices watched nervously as the five rounds of deflagration bombs were fired, and breathed a sigh of relief. To know. Although the deflagration bomb is huge, it is extremely dangerous to use, and there is a very strict set of regulations. This thing is mainly made with light oil and other volatile things, and if it is broken when it is reloaded, it will be a big problem. But the guests who were watching were a little puzzled, why didn't these things ignite, and why did they not react except for breaking some clay pots?

"Rest easy." Suo Zheng, who was standing on the side, waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Vulcan cannon loading, one ordinary Martian bomb." After a moment's wait, the technician ordered.

Several apprentices used a simple jack to load a primitive version of a Mars bomb. Hold a torch on the side and wait for the order.

"Launch!" Experienced technicians can now tell if a deflagration is possible by looking at the subtle and strange refraction in the air. Now, after several adjustments, the probability of deflagration is too high. And they, the experts who play with fire. I have a lot of experience with this kind of thing.

The apprentice touched the torch at the lead of the Martian bomb, and then it creaked, and the huge ballista known as the Vulcan cannon made a crisp sound, leaving the Martian bomb far in the middle.

I only heard a boom...... It was as if the whole world was on fire, and they were all swept up in the sound waves of the explosion. Then, the air that had been broken by the huge explosion swept past the artillery group, swept past the guest seats on the hillside, the light folding chairs were blown to the side, and the tea cups on the small table in front of the guests fell to the ground with a whirl. As for the tea spilled on the clothes, everyone didn't seem to react at all......

“…… This...... What is it? A Yunzhou Bu military camp tent who was born as a commander of the Dai clan asked with trembling lips.

"Deflagration," Suo Zheng suppressed his excitement and said: "The deflagration that can be occasionally caused by the fire oil bomb has now been basically mastered by the firearms branch of Ye's Workshop, and the probability of triggering the deflagration effect according to our method should be more than seventy percent." Today, it is a deflagration bomb emitted according to the standard density, and there is no material specifically for everyone to see fresh. ”

"My lord, it's going to rain, let's put up the shed first." One of the guards whispered.

"Okay." Ye Tao turned around and said to Chi Lei and the other officers with a smile: "Anyway, we have to wait for the ground to cool down below, and we have to move some targets up." ”

"Will you continue to demonstrate even if it's raining?" An officer asked.

"The effect can be seen even more when it rains, and this fire cannot be extinguished by rain. …… At least that's what the workshop told me. Suo Zheng seems to be very unhappy with this ignorance. The officer immediately bowed down and apologized, in Yunzhou, offending Suo Zheng, a general who had mastered the supply and logistics of the whole army, was worse than offending the same rank or even his superiors.

"Here's the Hwasong-2, followed by a demonstration of the Fierce Fire Oil II." The drizzling rain caused the temperature of the ground at the test site to drop down quickly, and although the power of this specially formulated deflagration bomb was amazing, there were very few remnants after the thermal explosion burned, and although the ground was scorched everywhere, only a few small fires continued to burn.

Watching the workshop apprentices place iron-clad wells, siege engines, and a mock wall that was only about four feet long on the proving ground, Suo Zheng fired a second herald arrow, followed by a third......

The Vulcan Cannon fired a total of seven times, five of which hit the target, and this extremely high hit rate gave the officers present a further understanding of the accuracy of the Vulcan Cannon and the strength of the apprentices of the Heavy Equipment Department of the Ye Workshop. The Fierce Fire Oil Type 2 was sprayed at the two iron-clad shafts...... The orange-red flames that rose into the sky, the raindrops that could not fall on the fire at all when lifted by the heat of the flame tongue, and the slight heat that could be felt at such a distance all gave everyone a very intuitive understanding of the power of the Type II products of Mars Bomb and Fierce Fire Oil.

"Everyone, please wait until the apprentices have put out the embers, and then you can go down and see the real effect." Suo Zheng bowed slightly to everyone. And this kind of invitation is exactly what everyone wants. They all wanted to see how effective these powerful things were.

Being able to let everyone identify the effect so frankly is enough to prove that Yip's Workshop is the most honest and straightforward arms dealer in this era. Everyone looked at the simulated section of the city wall that was burned by the Martian bomb, and watched the iron sheet wrapped in the well turned into char and obviously underwent the process of condensing from solid to liquid and then condensed, and they all gasped...... Mars bombs and fire oil have undergone not improvements, but innovations.
