The powerful destructive power of the artillery hitting the ground has a strong sense of visual impact. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This made everyone present feel like their blood was boiling and trembling, especially Zhu Di, a battle-hardened general, who saw the value of the recast artillery at a glance.

Such a range, such a power...... Compared to the previous artillery, it is not half a star stronger.

What's more, the shells of the previous artillery, which were really called 'bullets', were solid big iron bumps, although they could smash out a big hole, but they definitely couldn't bloom in the center.

The current cannonball is different, it is semi-hollow, not only can smash a hole in the ground, the cannonball can also be on the ground at the moment of landing, 'boom', become torn apart, the broken fragments, through the shock wave of the explosion, can also hurt a lot of people!

When the two armies were fighting, this new artillery directly crossed a distance of 100 zhang and burst into bloom among the enemy, which was simply a catastrophe for the enemy!

This kind of deterrence is far from being comparable to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Ming elites!

"Hahaha, good, good!" Zhu Di looked at the mountains and rocks that had burst out everywhere dozens of zhang away, and the ground was red with excitement.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, what do you think of the newly cast artillery of this Ministry of Engineering?"

Zhu Song had already seen the power of artillery, and in his previous life, it was not unheard of a weapon that was a thousand or ten thousand times more powerful than artillery, so he quickly came back to his senses and stepped forward to ask.

"Not bad!" Zhu Di looked satisfied, "I thought that this kid Wen Bi was deceiving me, but I didn't expect it to be true, and the power of this new artillery is unprecedented!" Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Zhu Di took a few steps forward and gently stroked a cannon, because the cannon had just been fired, so the barrel still had a strong smell of gunpowder and a scorching meaning.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, how does this thing compare to the original artillery?" Zhu Song walked slowly to Zhu Di's side and said.

"It's so powerful!" Zhu Di admired unabashedly, "Brother Song, can this artillery be mass-produced?" ”

Zhu Song shook his head directly and said: "Fourth Emperor Brother, the materials used in this casting and making artillery all need to go through hundreds of thousands of times, or even millions of beatings, before they can be put into use. Therefore, this cannon cannot be mass-produced, and for some technical reasons, the performance of the steel used to cast the cannon is sometimes unstable. ”

"Can these problems be solved once and for all?" Zhu Di's brows furrowed, and from Zhu Song's words, he could hear that it was not easy.

"Fourth Emperor Brother, it should have been nearly twenty days since the drawings of the artillery were brought back to Tianfu, right?"

Zhu Song did not directly answer Zhu Di's words, but said for example: "You see, it took more than 20 days to ...... Lord Qi, how many new artillery pieces are registered?"

The five artillery pieces in front of him are just unstable in performance, and although the rest are left in the Ministry of Industry, the Arsenal Qingzhi Division must be registered as the matter of the military registration, weapons and martial arts examinations of the whole country, and the manufacturing of the single-lens anti-anti-ordnance of the Daimyo Dynasty.

Qi Sihai, the Langzhong of the Arsenal Clearing Division, is quite competent.

Hearing Zhu Song's question, Qi Sihai raised his eyebrows and said: "Back to the prince's words, in the twenty-third day, the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Government Supervision Bureau have built a total of eleven new artillery, of which five are perfect and five are unstable, and one of them was scrapped because the barrel exploded during the test!"

Qi Sihai said with a few treasures.

"Eleven gates were made in twenty days...... It's so little! Zhu Di shook his head, suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Zhu Song, and said, "By the way, Brother Song, I remember that Qi Aiqing said that the new artillery was designed by you, is it true?"

"Yes......" As soon as the words came out, Zhu Song was stunned, this has to speak too loosely.

Zhu Di, you don't pay attention to it, how can you talk to people?

"It's still true!" Zhu Di looked at Zhu Song strangely and asked, "Where did you get this drawing?"

"Hey!"

When Zhu Song heard this, he suddenly pretended to sigh and said, "Fourth Emperor Brother, my brother has never told you. In fact, the younger brother saw the immortals some time ago! ”

Ahem!

Zhu Di spat welled up, almost choking him to death.

"Boy, are you playing as a brother?" Zhu Di said angrily.

"How dare the younger brother deceive the four emperor brothers!"

Zhu Song put on a very serious expression and said, "Fourth Emperor Brother, more than a year ago, my younger brother was assassinated in Jiaxing Mansion and was in a coma for a few days. During the coma, an old fairy came to his brother's dream, and the old fairy just stretched out his hand and pointed at the center of his brother's eyebrows, and after waking up, something would pop out of his brother's mind from time to time. ”

Zhu Di still said with a look of disbelief: "According to what you mean, the blueprints of this new artillery piece jumped into your mind inexplicably?"

Zhu Song nodded naturally and said, "Yes, not only artillery, but also grenades, mines, and the skills of forging new-style embroidered spring knives were all passed down to me by that old immortal."

"......" Zhu Di grinned at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "Forget it, since you said that there are immortals to help, then I believe you as a brother." But for the brother, there is something to be handed over to you here. ”

"What?" Zhu Song raised his eyebrows and said, "As long as the younger brother can complete it, he will definitely try his best to complete it."

"You also know the importance of this new artillery to our imperial court."

Zhu Di said: "I ignored the importance of artillery before, after all, the previous artillery was too cumbersome and had poor mobility, so I just used these cannons as a guard of honor to show the majesty of the court and me."

When he said this, Zhu Di's eyes lit up: "It's different now!" Does the fact that these new guns can be placed on sea vessels shows that after some research and improvement, these guns can also be more mobile?"

Zhu Song nodded and said, "Theoretically feasible!"

, of course, is doable, like shoulder-fired rocket launchers, detachable mortars...... Aren't these small assault guns just highly maneuverable?

"That's good!"

Zhu Di nodded and said, "I plan to transfer ministers from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Internal Government Supervision Bureau to form a secret department, which is called the 'Firearms Battalion'. This firearms battalion is a department dedicated to the design, research and manufacture of firearms! ”

"Firearms battalion?"

Zhu Song knew that Zhu Di would definitely notice the importance of gunpowder after seeing the power of the new artillery again, but he didn't expect that he would really want to build such a territory dedicated to the study of firearms.

He said: "Fourth Emperor Brother, what does it have to do with your courtiers when you build a firearms camp?"

"Of course it does!" Zhu Di said with a smile: "Because, my brother wants you to be the chief officer of the firearms battalion!"
