In the morning, Lord Wang walked into Chai Baochen's duty room and saw that Chai Baochen was drawing a new weapon, so he sighed and said, "Baochen, everything can't be forced, safety first." ”

Chai Baochen knew that his previous failure had disappointed Lord Wang, so he didn't say much, just nodded and said: "Got it, my lord, I just want to do more things that are beneficial to the country, you just wait for the good news." ”

Lord Wang shook his head and left.

Looking at the back of Lord Wang's departure, Chai Baochen's eyes moistened, much like the back of his father in later generations. After failing the college entrance examination, my father often came to his room to comfort him, shook his head and walked away. Now, you must work hard to develop a grenade and send good news to the war.

A grenade is a type of ammunition that is thrown by hand. It can be used to effectively kill cavalry, and can also be used for burning, fuming, lighting, firing signals and discharging poison gases. For infantry combat in the Ming Dynasty, it was simple to accept and easy to use. Before throwing a grenade, the soldier opens the cap, pulls the rope with his fingers or teeth, and then throws it hard at the enemy to detonate the grenade. The technical requirements for grenades are not high, and the shells wrapped in gunpowder must be made thinner, and now the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty can achieve it.

Chai Baochen was thinking about how to improve the lethality of the grenade. He had seen a lot of anti-Japanese movies, and combined with his own experience in rolling cannons, he drew a "popcorn" grenade. Such a grenade has 600 to 1,000 fragments inside, which can not only effectively kill the target, but also produce a huge deterrent and destructive effect because the fragments are scattered everywhere.

Chai Baochen looked at the drawn production drawings and breathed a sigh of relief. He took the diagram to the testing ground and found the craftsman. The craftsmen looked at Chai Baochen one by one, with unspeakable pain in their eyes, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, waiting for Chai Baochen's butcher's knife.

Chai Baochen suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right, why did the craftsmen look at him so silently? Suddenly he understood that they were afraid of themselves, because their previous mistakes had cost the lives of the most skilled craftsmen among them. Chai Baochen announced to everyone that this weapon will be tested by himself, and everyone only needs to help themselves make it.

When the craftsmen heard this, the dark clouds in their hearts were immediately dispelled, and their subordinates worked harder. The fire that makes the fire, the bellows pull hard, and the iron can be played hard, they are all famous craftsmen in the vicinity, unity and cooperation, and the efficiency is naturally very high. In less than half a day, the first grenade was made.

Chai Baochen asked the soldiers to buy a few chickens and take them to the test ground. He also ordered the craftsmen to make a large circle with firewood and grass and throw the chickens they had just bought into it. Chai Baochen and the craftsmen began to retreat, twenty steps away from the firewood and grass circle. Seeing that the chickens in the firewood and grass circle were catching the grass on the ground, they were happier than one to eat, Chai Baochen grabbed the long wooden handle of the grenade with one hand, unscrewed the back cover with the other hand, and his fingers went around the lead, his heart "plopped" and jumped, he gritted his teeth and pulled down the lead, "poof", some smoke came out of the grenade, Chai Baochen was choked and coughed a few times, what a familiar taste, this is the smell of the lead burning.

When the craftsmen saw it, they were all so frightened that they covered their ears. Chai Baochen used his internal strength and threw the grenade at the chickens with all his might. Then he quickly got down, and when he looked up, he saw that the craftsmen were still standing with their ears covered, and they didn't know how to lie down. You know, the shrapnel of the "popcorn" grenade flew in all directions very irregularly, and even though it was thrown by itself, it was not possible to ensure that a single piece flew back. Chai Baochen took it and threw himself on the two craftsmen, crushing them under him. Although the other craftsmen covered their ears, they did not hinder their view, and when they saw this, they also lay on the ground.

"Boom!" A huge sound came, Chai Baochen felt the earth shake, a stream of air pushed over, and the chickens that didn't have time to scream were blown up piece by piece and flew everywhere. Chai Baochen and the craftsman went to inspect the results, only to see that the firewood and grass circle had been blown up. Two of the seven chickens were blown to pieces, and the remaining five were fairly intact. Chai Baochen ordered the craftsman to count how much shrapnel flew into the bodies of the five chickens.

Soon, the craftsmen reported that there were more than twenty pieces of shrapnel in each chicken's body, and at the same time, their eyes showed respect for Chai Baochen. This result was expected by Chai Baochen, if it was thrown at people and horses, more shrapnel would fly into the human and animal bodies. The experiment was a success.

At this time, several fast horses galloped over, led by Lord Wang. Coming to Chai Baochen, Lord Wang asked as soon as he got off the horse, what happened just now, it was like thunder. The craftsmen all looked at Chai Baochen with smiles. Chai Baochen waved at Lord Wang: "That's right, I have developed a new weapon grenade," he pointed to the chicken that was blown up in the ground, and said, "It's successful!" ”

Lord Wang looked at the charred chicken nuggets on the ground, nodded, and said with a smile: "Very good, you have lived up to the expectations of this official, you are good!" ”

Chai Baochen scratched his head and said, "Lord Xie appreciates!" ”

"Hurry up and produce some of them, and we will use them for the military to test the effect." Lord Wang said eagerly, after all, for a person who has always used cold weapons, the charm of hot weapons is huge, and once you get started with it, you will love it. After all, the killing efficiency of a hot weapon is incomparable to that of a cold weapon.

Lord Wang also gave some words of encouragement to the craftsmen, and said that as long as they made weapons, they could be exempted from paying taxes for three years. When the craftsmen heard this, they immediately became energetic, what a temptation! If you strike iron here, you can be exempted from paying taxes for three years, which is faster than any money. Follow Chai-sama! The craftsmen had such an idea in their hearts.

Next, the craftsmen threw themselves into the hard work, and they burned the sundial, often staying up all night, in order to produce more grenades to the satisfaction of Lord Chai. Chai Baochen watched the craftsmen work hard, and was very happy, and ordered to go down, the food level of the craftsmen should be improved, the tea water should be continuous all day long, four meals a day, he and the craftsmen should eat together, and there should be meat in the dishes.

The soldiers who managed the food naturally did not dare to slack off, and they received the silver money from Lord Chai, of course, they had to do a good job of the food. When the craftsmen saw that Lord Chai was eating and living with them, and the food was so good that it was like celebrating the New Year every day, they worked even harder. What's more, as long as the grenade produced can explode, Lord Chai said that it is qualified, isn't it simple, if you can produce the first, you can produce the second.

And just like that, a month later, the craftsmen produced a thousand grenades. Now production was stopped, due to the fact that the gunpowder for the production of grenades ran out. However, a thousand pieces is not less, looking at the boxes of results, Chai Baochen smiled happily. It was something he had been looking forward to for countless days and nights.

Next, it is necessary to train the soldiers to throw. He wants to form a "Shenji Company", yes, not the Shenji Battalion, he wants to train a unit that has always specialized in the use of firearms, to serve Lord Wang, there are not too many people, you can train at any time, fight at any time, and create a special force!
