Chapter 43: Firearms in the Qinling Mountains
"By the way, what about the fat guy Yan?" Bai Qi opened his eyes and asked Situ Hao. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Master Hou, don't you know, I heard that you fought the enemy on the Tuyuhun side, and that guy has already run to Liangzhou with a group of people who don't want to die!"
White shook his head and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp. Don't think about the guy who wants money and doesn't want to die, it's better to leave all the fat over there, it is said that now that he is fat as a ball, it is time to go over there to sweat and lose weight!
In her previous life, she assisted the country in sniping at world-class financial giants, and led several large management institutions, and there was no problem with Su Mushi's account in the inner government, even if she made a fake account, I believe that no one can see it in this time and space. Situ Hao handed over his family's business to his relatives to take care of, and he devoted himself to his current career, and Bai Qi still had a lot of trust in his character. In general, no matter how Li Shimin wants to do this audit work, Bai Qi is not worried at all.
Li Chengqian as the audience, Su Mushi, Situ Hao and Bai Qi discussed the next plan, after determining the focus of work for a period of time, the four of them left Tianzhi Pavilion and walked around the east and west cities for a long time, until noon, the four of them had lunch in the courtyard of the Meridian Marquis Mansion in Chang'an, and returned to the palace. Li Chengqian wanted to go back to learn how to handle government affairs, while Su Mushi yawned and looked a little sleepy.
"Go play with your own skills, I'm going to find a place to get some sleep!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
said that she was back to the cage, but in fact, everyone knew that she didn't have much time to rest when she went back. Whether it is the liquidation of Buddhism or the revision of the law, it is never something that can be achieved overnight. Su Mushi, who has already begun to be in charge of the internal affairs of the royal family and serves as an economic adviser in the household department, will have a lot of things to do next. She and White are the same kind of people who are more rational than emotional, and they just sit down and talk a few whispers, and then they break up and go about their own business.
Bai Qi and Li Tai mounted their horses, and under the protection of the guards, they quickly rode out of the city and headed towards the weapons development department that was secretly built in the lofty mountains of the Qinling Mountains.
In the dense and damp jungle, flying apes and wild boars are infested, the thick rotten leaves in the ground emit a strong smell of decay, the foot-long centipedes crawl out of the fallen leaves, and the poisonous snakes with thick arms coil on the huge branches, spitting out long snake letters, which look particularly terrifying.
The Weapons Development Department, which had been stripped of the civilian technology development department, was relocated to the depths of this dangerous primeval jungle for the sake of secrecy. It was an open flat land that had been sorted out, surrounded by towering old trees and thick old vines, and on the flat ground, the first thing that caught my eye was a row of simple one-story flat-roofed houses, and the doors in front of each house were locked from the inside, and occasionally someone would rush out of it, holding experimental objects in their hands.
At the back of the lab, a huge garden dotted with it, where several researchers sat together and whispered over tea. Further back, there is a four-storey dormitory.
Not far from the development department, there is a military camp stationed all year round, and from time to time there are soldiers in the barracks patrolling the vicinity, eliminating all dangers around in a timely manner.
Li Tai led the white chess pieces over the huge development department, along a hidden sheep intestine path behind, with leaves covering the sky like an umbrella on his head, and rode quietly towards the light ahead.
In the dense forests on both sides, from time to time, there are soldiers wearing armor similar to the color of the woods, and each of them is equipped with the most advanced weapons researched by the Datang Weapons Development Department, including the more dexterous and delicate repeater, and as for the grenade, it must be the first choice for their weaponry.
White only knew that he was following Li Tai, and the two horses were quietly treading the deep path, as if they were experiencing a mysterious time tunnel, in which time had lost its concept, and there was only a bright exit in front of him that seemed to never be touched, and the occasional sound of insects was heard in his ears. I don't know how long and how long I walked, but just when Bai was so bored that he was about to fall asleep, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the bright sunlight shone down from his head, and the colorful colors of heaven and earth came into view, which made his eyes close unconsciously for a while.
After a while, White opened his eyes and saw a green flat field in front of him that was even wider than that of the Development Department. The sky above was as blue as if it had been washed by a spring, and under the sky, the low green grass swayed in the strong wind. Farther away, towering mountain peaks stretched from one side of heaven and earth to the other, and then disappeared into the clouds.
Located on one of the extremely high peaks in the deepest part of the Qinling Mountains, this flat land was leveled by the military headquarters of the Tang Dynasty after it was secretly blown up with black powder, and is now regarded as the main site for the research and launch of the Shenwei Iron Cannon, the most powerful and mysterious weapon of the Weapons Development Department.
On one side of the hilltop is the research department's house, where dozens of raunchy craftsmen are working intensely, either calculating on paper or carefully polishing tools. Not far away, a company of the Cloud Breaking Army was stationed there, several soldiers on duty wore military uniforms, held weapons, vigilantly observed the surrounding situation, heard a movement at the entrance, and immediately someone aimed the crossbow at it, and after finding out that it was Li Tai of white chess, several soldiers put down their weapons and saluted the two of them, and Bai Qi and Li Tai immediately raised their hands to salute in return. It was windy on the mountain, and someone brought them two coats to put on.
In the open space in front of the institute, a squat cannon attracted White's attention. He stepped forward, felt the texture of the squatting cannon with his hand, and then took the quantity that Li Tai took out from the laboratory, and carefully measured it against the real thing.
Before leaving Chang'an, Bai Qi specially left Li Tai with the design drawings of the later Franc machine gun. In his previous life, when the Internet exploded, he was fortunate enough to see the relevant data about this kind of artillery that was once popular in Europe, and according to his memory, he converted this data into drawings and handed them to Li Tai. At the beginning, I just had the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect that when I attacked the city, I had already seen the prototype of the Franc cannon, although there were many problems, but it was a huge progress in thermal weapons in this era!
With these cross-era weapons, Datang has a stronger ability to deal with various external risks! (To be continued.) )
