"Hongyi cannon?" , As the red bully opened, Yang Chong exclaimed. The others www.biquge.info also focused their eyes on the cannon, and they were stunned for a while, and everyone's expressions became excited.

Hearing this, Mu Chun, Minister of Industry, turned pale and corrected: "This is a cannon produced by our factory, not an old antique from Hongyi." ”。 It seems that it is a very insulting thing to call his cannon Hongyi.

"Uh--well! It's not Hongyi! It's not Hongyi! Don't get excited, okay?! Yang Chong immediately said in a soft tone. This is not to blame him, because the Hongyi cannon is too famous in the course of Chinese history, and he usually does not know anything about artillery. So shout all the cannons as Hongyi.

After that, he said a few more words, urging Mu Chun to introduce the performance of his cannon.

It's just that after Mu Chun talked for a while, he found that everyone was listening in a fog and lacking interest, so he stopped talking interestingly. Waving their hands, several workers immediately stepped forward and aimed their cannons at the beach a thousand meters away.

Taking out a lighter, he lit the fuse himself. Green smoke rose and there was an instantaneous boom. The people present were suddenly startled and hurriedly covered their ears. Others were unsteady on their feet and rolled down the hill at once.

Seeing everyone's ugly embarrassment, Mu Chun smiled. "Humph! Who said that you didn't listen, now you understand the power of the cannon, right? ”。

At this time, Brian was sneaking through the trees in the forest. Although he had signed a deed of sale, when Charlie approached him a few days earlier and told him that there was no plague on the flying Dutchman, and that everything was a conspiracy of the Ming people, he immediately announced that he would not abide by the spirit of the contract.

So Charlie believed him and told him to keep an eye on the ship that belonged to them, so that he could find an opportunity to escape. To this, he agreed. After all, his covenant was based on fraud, and even if it was violated, it would not be condemned by God.

It was only after a few days of observation that he did not find their ship at all. It turned out that he had been to that beach too, but there was nothing. Including the two big birds, they are gone.

Just when he was downcast, he unexpectedly got an exciting news from those annoying children. It turns out that today the beach is cordoned off and no one is allowed to enter.

Intuitively, he knew there must be something strange in it. So I sneaked into the woods and waited for an opportunity to enter the beach. He wondered what the Ming people were plotting to seal off the entire beach.

Leaning against the tree closest to the beach and looking sideways, he noticed that it was not as heavily guarded as he had imagined. Or rather, there are no guards at all.

So he mustered his courage and slowly walked out of the woods. After a while, he walked to the beach, and his shoes were wet from the sea. But there were still no guards out to arrest him.

Now, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a loud bang suddenly resounded in the sky like thunder on the ground. He looked up and saw a meteor trailing its tail slam across his head. Lower and lower, closer and closer to the ground.

When he saw that the long tail was a burning flame, he was immediately scared! In an instant, the soul came out of its sheath, and without caring about being exposed, it fled into the woods with a shout.

Because it's a cannonball, a cannonball that can blow people up - to death!

Until the boom rang out again. The earth shook and the sea swelled. A piece of shrapnel hit him in the back of the head. Only then did he close his mouth and faint.

And on the hillside thousands of kilometers away, Yang Chong and the others were also embarrassed. Looking at the spectacular scene on the beach, my eyes lit up like a hungry wolf. I forgot about the bad things that Mu Chun made them ugly.

"Not bad, not bad! Minister Mu, you are indeed the minister of the humerus of the republic. You can make such a powerful thing in such a humble environment. Then when we develop it, won't missiles be a problem? Yang Chong patted Mu Chun's shoulder and praised him greatly.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Minister Mu really worked hard for the republic! Education Minister Zuo Peng also echoed. But he, an old fox, is too unrealistic. made Mu Chun's old face a little embarrassed.

Not to be outdone, the other ministers followed suit with praise. It's just that compared with Zuo Peng, there are many rules. It is no wonder that they are so happy, after all, the city of hope is too close to the sea, and it is extremely vulnerable to shelling from the sea. In the past, they didn't have cannons, and they didn't have fortified turrets. As a result, the security problem of Hope City has not been resolved.

Although for the Western powers, Hope City, that is, the port of Darwin in later generations, is still an undiscovered wild place for the time being, as long as the Ming Republic wants to develop, it is inevitable to contact with the Western powers.

Hope City, this place, is found sooner or later.

So the best way is to take precautions, prevent problems before they happen, and create a weapon for defending the city~ cannon! With this, there will be no lack of confidence in the face of the big ships of the Western powers.

Before that, they had gray hair. But now, the roar of the cannon has completely blasted away the dark clouds that hung over their hearts. made their backs a lot stronger.

It's just that Nanfeng was not as optimistic as everyone else, because he noticed Mu Chun's expression of wanting to speak and stopping. Sure enough, after waiting for everyone to finish speaking, Mu Chun poured a basin of cold water on them. Just listen: "Mr. President, Your Excellency, Ministers, Ministers, I have to remind you. The missile thing is too unrealistic, and we can't build it without thirty or fifty years. And this has to reach the technological level of the second industrial revolution. And, in order to produce this cannon, all the resources of our arsenal were tilted towards it, which cost us a lot of manpower and material resources. ”。

Hearing this, everyone's smiles instantly stiffened.

"With our current production efficiency, how many units can we produce in a month?" , Nan Feng asked the key.

Mu Chun estimated for a while before cautiously replied, "One." ”。

"What?" The others exclaimed in unison. Only one unit can be produced a month, which is too slow. It seems that in less than half a year and a year, this cannon will not be able to form combat effectiveness. After all, the accuracy of the artillery in this era is too poor, and it is difficult to hit the enemy without relying on the number to pile up.

But they understand. The point is that there are too few people! Now the people of the Ming Republic are all lacking in skills, and they are busy like spinning tops. Even the half-grown children tried their best to do what they could.

"Hey! The key is still a lack of people! Yang Chong and the others sighed in unison.

Just as they were worried about the population, a small river like a jade belt meandered on the plain a thousand kilometers away from Hope City. The withered yellow weeds spread all over the land, and in the breeze, they rose and fell like ocean waves.

And next to the river, there are low thatched houses, with an idyllic poetic feeling.

But at this time, bursts of green smoke falling straight into the sky, wisps of firelight rising into the sky, and popcorn-like explosions broke the beautiful poetry.

I saw thatched houses collapsing in the firelight, and the natives were captured under the black guns. When more than a thousand natives were strung together like dried fish and walked in front of Liu Weiguo. In his heart, a sense of accomplishment was suddenly born.
