Zhao Zheng was satisfied with arranging the personnel of the dock, and waited for the mechanics of Gushan to return to Gushan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Northern Expedition Alliance has been officially concluded, and the envoys of the princes of the six countries drank the wine of the alliance at the Taiji Hall in Luoyi, and made an alliance with blood. Gushan didn't participate, and the Son of Heaven didn't notify him, maybe they didn't care about Gushan's power at all.

Ji Zhan transported the first batch of earth-shattering thunder money, and at the same time transported the second batch of money to buy Tang Dao and strong crossbows, but before he left Luoyi, he was intercepted by the shopkeeper of the Homeinn branch sent by Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Feng is no longer the humble slave of the past, he has completed several shadow guard tasks very well, and he went with Xiao Ju, one of the four major maids, because of the modern time, Zhao Zheng has changed her name to Xiaohe.

A homelike tavern and a comfortable home-like opera house, which occupy half of the street in a grand manner, and then attract half of the princes and nobles of Luoyi.

Politically despised is then commercially striking, and Zhao Zheng's counterattack was as swift as ever. Gushan is an arms dealer who buys and sells, but he is by no means a slave.

The camp will be made with butter wax in a glass cover, and a smooth copper mirror will be inlaid on the back, and the house will also be inlaid with copper mirrors all around, so that a secret room will be like dusk.

"My lord, the production of gunpowder has doubled, and now we can make two thousand earth-shattering thunders a month, and after many experiments in terms of power, we have also found some experience."

"How many casualties?"

Zhao Zhou was obviously reluctant to answer, there were not many casualties, but according to Zhao Zheng's temperament, it hurt to die a single one, so he had to report good news and not bad news.

"Eighteen"

"Huh?"

"Eighteen were killed and twenty-seven were wounded, of which two were seriously injured and twenty-five were lightly wounded."

In Zhao Zhou's opinion, these casualties were very few, and the experiment was also everyone's will, so he simply said it without any shame.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhao Zheng sighed and said: "Be careful with the experiment, but to reduce casualties, I will only give ten places in the next year, and you will pay for your life if you exceed one." ”

The development of science needs to be constantly explored, this road must be full of countless blood, Zhao Zheng is not a saint who can't see blood, even if he knows that people will die, he can't stop, otherwise it will be the end of the entire solid mountain.

Zhao Zhou came back to his senses, pulled Zhao Zheng to the secret room, and reported: "Mr. Gong Yi has been in retreat for a month, and he has finally come up with a sub-cannon drawn by the main man, and he has also come up with a firing method that can increase the rate of fire. ”

"The Fran cannon, the male lost the cannon"

In Zhao Zheng's exclamation, Zhao Zhou dragged out a box and took out a model from it, the red seal showed that it was top secret, and it could only be opened with Zhao Zheng's authorization.

Franc cannon, introduced by the Portuguese in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, is a breech-loading gun in the earliest sense, with a thinner caliber and a shorter firing range, and is often used to fight infantry phalanxes.

The delicate bronze mold aroused Zhao Zheng's interest, and the empty tail and small sub-cannon made Zhao Zheng can't wait to shoot it.

"Go to the proving ground, I'm going to see for myself how powerful it is."

Zhao Zhou took out an iron chain from the corner of the wall, pulled the wall to reveal a secret door, and after a while, he and Zhao Zheng came to the test site.

The first thing that caught my eye was not the cannon placed on the field, but the red-eyed man with the head of the chicken nest, God knows how many days he hadn't slept, and the crown of his hair that he had been quite concerned about before was crooked.

"Brother Gong, you succeeded."

"No, not yet, the caliber has been reduced to less than ten centimeters, far from reaching the individual combat weapon that the lord said."

What he fiddled with in his hand was a bird's gun, although it was only the most primitive flintlock pistol, but it was shocking to appear in this era.

"Blowing up, or not enough gunpowder in the fire."

"Yes, yes, the spring strength is either too big or too small, the ironmaking workshop has never been able to get the steel that satisfies me, and this cover door, plus it is not good to ignite, if you don't add it, a little rain can make it scrapped, you ......"

Gong Duo raised his head and said in surprise: "Lord, when did you come back, didn't you go to Qi to build a ship?" ”

Zhao Zheng was speechless, and he talked to you for a long time, and the co-authorship was all in vain.

"As soon as I came back, I saw you jumping wildly, even if firearms are important, you have to pay attention to rest, your body is the capital of your career."

"No, I pay attention to rest, I sleep for three hours every day, I don't believe you ask Zhao Zhou."

Zhao Zhou walked over with a smile and said, "Don't hide it, Mr. Gongyi, you think that if you plug the crack in the door, I don't know that there is a light inside, and I can hear the sound of your frantic shouting clearly." ”

I didn't expect that Gong Duo was still a technical idiot, and after being introduced into the era of firearms by himself, he worked tirelessly to understand everything. Geniuses really have geniuses to be arrogant, but it's a pity that the vast knowledge of firearms makes Gong Yi Duo unable to study thoroughly for a lifetime.

"Zhao Zhou obeyed the order, stopped all the work of the public priest, let him sleep for three days, and no one was allowed to give him paper and let him touch firearms."

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."

Gong Duo scratched his head, smelled the smell on his body and smiled, knowing that he also needed to rest now. But he won't sleep for three days, at most one day, and then study slowly.

"Everything is in my head, no paper, no contact, my brain can still meditate."

Seeing that Gong Duo did not resist at all, Zhao Zhou was a little suspicious, in the past, he cried and begged to let him go back to sleep for two hours, but now Zhao Zheng ordered, he was so obedient.

"My lord, I don't think your method will work, Mr. Gongyi will definitely not rest for three days for so long, and he can continue to study with his memory meditation.

It is better for the subordinates to add some small means, find someone to sleep with Mr. Gongyi, warm and warm jade hero mound, so that they must be slept together. ”

was discovered, and came up with such a bad idea, Gong Duo looked at Zhao Zhou, his face was full of anger.

Zhao Zheng laughed and said: "Yes, try to find a good home, so as to save him from leaking the news in his dreams." ”

"I don't talk in my dreams, it's just not good."

Gong Duo blushed to the root of his ears, but he didn't expect it to be a chick.

"Hahaha, it's decided, Zhao Zhou, you go and find him, if one doesn't work, find two, just strip naked and carry it in, see if he wants it."

"It's still the lord who is powerful", Zhao Zhou said with a treacherous smile on his face, beckoning the two of them to take away the princess, and they can't rest in the camp.

Looking at the flintlock pistol in his hand, the firing and reloading device tends to be perfect, almost the same as the flintlock pistol in the Ming Dynasty, but the quality of the steel needs to be improved.

"There is a long way to go, and we must do it and work hard."

Zhao Zheng sighed, ordered Zhao Zhou to put away the flintlock pistol, came to a Franc cannon, and signaled Zhao Zhou to operate.

"Boom~"

A roar went out, Zhao Zhou wore cowhide gloves and took off the sub-cannon, replaced it with a new one, and then another cannon, and so on, until the eighth cannon stopped pouring buckets of water.

White mist lingered on the body of the cannon inlaid with heat sinks, and eight guns were fired in a row, and the tail was not deformed or damaged in the slightest.

On the one hand, the bronze has high toughness, and on the other hand, these inlaid heat sinks dissipate the temperature in time, so as not to cause large thermal expansion and contraction changes.

"How many shots can you fire at most?"

"Thirteen cannons, the whole cannon sound was blazing at that time, if it wasn't for the gunpowder enclosed in the sub-cannon, it was extremely likely to explode."

Looking at Zhao Zhou's expression, you can know that he must have blown up the chamber, and it was in the fourteenth gun.

"It's not like Gong Yi Duo has made some new concepts and pointed them out to me."

Leaving aside this topic, he is always suppressed on casualties, and the pressure on Zhao Zhou is too great, after all, he is only eighteen years old, and strictly speaking, he is still a child.

Zhao Zhou nodded, pointed to a wrench and said: "This is a rejector, Mr. Gong Yi has designed a movable wrench, which is easy to take, and can make the sub-cannon fit the muzzle tightly, reducing the explosion caused by novice operation errors." ”

Something that only appeared at the end of the 19th century, the Gong Yi Duo actually made it out in a different time and space. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is very high, especially without the drive of money and power, the kind of research and development purely for dreams and interests cannot be disagreed with.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng suddenly had a question, what if he didn't like to read Baidu Encyclopedia in his previous life, he was not an otaku, but a veteran of the flower bush of a game family. Coming to this cannibalistic world, whether to seduce a noble lady and be hacked to death or to meet a king with a different fetish.

He couldn't help but shudder, and the famous proverb came to his heart: knowledge changes fate.
