As Huang Jie shouted softly, he saw an old man with a black face come out in response, first came to see the planter with a military salute, and then made someone move six or seven boxes of various sizes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Huang Jie also introduced him to the Seed Master: "This Professor Ling has a single name. He was a firearms envoy in the army, and he was the best at making fire hammers, fire blankets and fierce fire oil tanks, and later he went to the Jiazhan warehouse in Daizhou Mansion (now Dai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi) to be a library envoy, but he asked me to come and be a professor. ”

Then he pointed to a tall thin man and a red-faced old man behind Ling Ye who were helping to fiddle with the family's belongings and continued to introduce: "This man is the son of Professor Ling, with a single name and a Zhenzi, and he is also an official and military officer. There is also this old man, named Xue Xian, who was also a good man in the green forest all the way, and he also has some experience with firearms. ”

At the same time that Huang Jie introduced the three of them to the Seed Master, the three of them also instructed the helpers to set up three shelves in an open space, but they saw that on the first shelf, there were several melon-shaped things from small to large, but the smallest one was about the size of an adult's fist, and the largest was slightly larger than a human head.

As for the second shelf, the things placed are a little strange, but I see that these things are all strange shapes, from the length of the ruler to the length of the zhang, the thinnest of the head is about the thickness of a child's arm, like a bamboo tube, the thickest is thicker than an adult's arm, and some of the tail is tied with a long bamboo strip, and some people are not very clear, it seems that there is something like a feather on the tail.

As for the third shelf, the things placed are also eye-catching, but it is a pipe made of fine brass from thin to thick, the thinnest pipe is about two fingers thick (about 5cm), and the thickest one is afraid that it can fit into a human head.

After fiddling with it, he saw that Ling Ye was commanding the manpower, and several wooden figures were inserted in a clearing in front of the shelf, some of which were still wearing armor commonly used in the army.

After all, he has been the commander of the army for a long time, and when he came to take a look, he also saw that the melon-shaped object placed on the first shelf was very familiar, so he stretched out his hand and asked, "Could this thing be a thunderbolt cannon in the army?" Shocking thunder? ”

Huang Jie didn't speak, Ling Ye naturally came up and said, "What the old minister said is that it is the earth-shaking thunder produced by the gunpowder kiln of the Jingshi!" ”

Just now, the planter Dao asked, although he had a rough idea, he was not sure whether it was a thunderbolt cannon or a thunderbolt, because the firearms of the Song Dynasty in this period had not yet made a clear distinction in terms of shape. The so-called thunderbolt cannon is a special explosive projectile fired by a trebuchet, and the earth-shaking thunder can be fired by a trebuchet when it can be used to explode at a distance, or it can be ignited and thrown by manpower to explode on the spot, so the appearance of the two firearms does not look much different.

Since the eighth year of Kaibao (975), the Song Dynasty used "artillery" when attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty, and discovered the important strategic significance of this weapon, the Great Song Dynasty established a gunpowder workshop in Jiankang Mansion (now Nanjing, Jiangsu), Jiangling Mansion (now Jiangling, Hubei) and other cities, and manufactured gunpowder arrows, artillery and other weapons based on combustion performance, Song Minqiu (1019-1079, Northern Song Dynasty writer, historian, bibliophile) recorded in the "Tokyo Chronicle" that there was a factory for manufacturing gunpowder in Kaifeng, the capital city, called "gunpowder kiln", The number of craftsmen and workers is in the thousands.

But when Ling Ye spoke, he also made people pick out the firearms commonly used by the Song army on the shelf, such as the earth-shaking thunder, thunderbolt fireballs, and tribulus fireballs, etc., and then asked people to take them to the previously arranged position and cast them, and made a firearms display for the Seed Master Dao. As for the effect of the fireworks, it has also reached the benchmark value of the firearms of the Song army, and the master is quite satisfied with it, but he only mentioned the sentence "the method of storage", and the firearms have not been subjected to moisture.

As for the effect of the fireworks, the only way to do this is to use "Bang! Syllable! Boom! This kind of onomatopoeic vocabulary describes that because the gunpowder formula used by these Song military firearms added too many things that have nothing to do with the required power, the Song military firearms at this time could not be called "explosives" in terms of efficacy and kinetic energy feedback, and could only be regarded as flammable and explosive "explosives" at most.

The firearms in the army were cast, although the sound was amazing, but the power made Huang Jie seem unsatisfactory, but Huang Jie was not in a hurry, so he waited for Ling Ye to slowly show it to the Seed Master.

But he also saw that after Ling Ye cast three kinds of firearms in the army for the seed master, he went to get a melon-shaped grenade the size of an adult's fist, and said to the seed master: "The old minister doesn't know that the reason why the horse was able to say that the old man was able to move the old man to be the professor of this Lao Shizi was because the horse brought this thing with the old man, and the old man might as well take a look!" ”

Seed Master Dao took a look, but he also saw that the shell of this melon-shaped grenade was made of pig iron, but as for the fire eye and lead, it was no different from Song Jun's earth-shattering thunder, and he couldn't help but be curious: "Could it be that the medicinal power of this thing is stronger than that used in the army?" ”

"Strong! But it's too much stronger! After Ling Ye carefully took it from the hand of the Seed Master, he handed the grenade to Ling Zhen behind him, but seeing that Ling Zhen quickly went to the center of the position with the grenade, he rushed back after igniting the medicine. Then, under the eyes of everyone, after seeing that the medicine was quickly burned, the fire in front of him suddenly flashed, and then a thunderbolt sounded in his ears.

There was a "boom", but the sound of the explosion of a fist-sized melon-shaped grenade was several times louder than that of the Song Army's sky-shaking thunder the size of a human head.

"This, this, this...... Why is the medicine so powerful? "Naturally, Master Dao is also an expert in the use of firearms, and just by listening to the sound, he can judge that the power of this small grenade is definitely not bad. In the past actual combat, this Song Army's sky-shaking thunder is naturally strong and weak, although the weak will also explode, but the sound is not loud enough, and the fragments of the iron shell will not explode far, and the strong sound is very loud, not to mention, the fragments will naturally fly farther.

But now that he heard from the seed master, the small grenade in front of him exploded louder than the best earth-shattering thunder he had ever seen, which naturally surprised him.

But he said that this was, so he heard Ling Ye laugh and said: "Don't be surprised, this is just the first generation of palm thunder made by the horse, and let's see how powerful the second generation palm thunder was later made by Xue Xianxue Jiaoxi?" ”

After speaking, he saw that Xue Xian smiled and took out a melon-shaped grenade from the shelf and watched it with the Seed Master, but saw that the so-called second-generation palm thunder looked not much different from the first generation in appearance, at least the size was almost the same, and then Ling Zhen took it and put it off, and it still sounded like a rumble, and sure enough, the sound was really a little stronger than before.
