307 Original rockets of the XVII century

Seeing these once high-ranking adults in front of him, but looking at such a water hammer and becoming so graceless, Feng Dacang couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, but he just laughed in his heart, and he still had to maintain a modest look on his face, although his status as a master craftsman was the highest in the craftsman camp, and these adults couldn't control him at all, but he didn't dare to laugh at people in front of him like this.

"Lord Feng, you are really not interesting, such a good thing, you actually didn't give it to us, if some time ago, when the soldiers could have this kind of armor to wear on their bodies, I don't know how many people will die." Just as Feng Cannon watched the adults watch the magical scene in front of him as carefully as a curious baby, he suddenly heard a loud voice shouting.

Hearing this voice, Feng Cannon was suddenly startled, and a cold sweat immediately flowed on his head, not because of how powerful the person who shouted, but because the meaning of this sentence was too ruthless, you know, if it is really according to the meaning of what the person who shouted, it is that he deliberately concealed good things, which led to the innocent death of many soldiers.

"Ah, no, no, no, it's not like this, General Dong Mingjian, it's not like this, it's be" Under the excitement, Feng Dacang also stuttered a little when he spoke.

Seeing the appearance of Feng Cannon, Shi Lei on the side smiled and said, "Hahaha, okay Dong Qi, don't blame Lord Feng, you know, this matter is not that Lord Feng doesn't do it, but I don't allow him to do it, you just saw the benefits of this kind of thing, but you didn't expect how difficult this kind of thing is, let's just say this steel, millions of catties of iron and stone, can only train tens of thousands of catties of steel, just this aspect has led to insufficient production, besides, the steel we produce cannot be used to forge armor, It will also be used as other weapons, so it will take a while to equip the army with this fine armor. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it, Lord Shi is right, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't dare to deliberately delay the military situation if he killed the villain." After listening to Shi Lei's words, Feng Cannon on the side nodded hurriedly and continued.

"Okay, Cannon, these people are rough people, don't be too nervous, let's show us some really good things!" Shi Lei said to Feng Cannon.

With this rhythm, Feng Dacang didn't dare to show off too much, and then ordered people to take out the strange-looking things one after another, either alive or on their shoulders.

Looking at the fact that there were about a hundred large and small things in most of the courtyard, Shi Lei was also dazzled, most of the things in it were researched by him, but what he imagined was that after many things were studied, although the function was similar to that of later generations, the shape was completely different, and as for the others, it was something he didn't understand at all.

Looking at the people around him who were full of doubts and curiosity like himself, Shi Lei also helplessly said to Feng Dacang, "Cannon, you should introduce these things to us, and it will also open the eyes of the official and all the adults." ”

After hearing Shi Lei's words, Feng Cannon opened his mouth to explain, at the beginning, Shi Lei was still a little disdainful, after all, he came from later generations, after seeing more of the various machinery of later generations, he still couldn't see the simple tools at this time, but with Feng Cannon's explanation, Shi Lei was surprised to find that it was not the lack of imagination of the ancients, but that there was no suitable soil for these imaginations to be able to play smoothly.

More than 100 things, most of which have been improved on the basis of the original, such as new textile machines that can greatly improve textile efficiency, as well as various practical things, after all, most of the inventions in human history are produced after improving on the basis of the original, and what can really be created out of thin air is a real generation of masters.

Although this is the case, there are still many things that surprise Shi Lei, the most surprising is the so-called ' In fact, this is according to Shi Lei's reminder, only to use the ability of the gear machinery of later generations to manufacture, that is, to install a certain switch on the body of the car, like an alarm clock, when you want to make this kind of car walk, only one person needs to twist the switch every once in a while, then the car can easily move forward, the reason why this kind of thing is to make this kind of thing, in order to transport artillery in the future war.

You know, in ancient times, the real terrible war was not the fight between the two sides, but on the way to the march, how many battles were caused by the difficulty of the march and failed, and in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the extensive use of artillery made the already difficult march as difficult as the sky, and with this car that can move forward by itself, it will be able to fight for the Ming army in the future, reducing a lot of burden, not only can transport artillery, food, materials, and the wounded, can be transported through this kind of car.

Therefore, when this kind of car was shown in front of everyone, everyone's eyes couldn't help but exude naked greedy eyes, not only the generals, but even many civil officials couldn't help but feel a few more excitements in their hearts, the officials who were able to follow Shi Lei to the craftsman camp were all officials who held real power in the entire Shaanxi, and how could they not be excited when they saw this kind of thing that could change the strength of Shaanxi.

"Good, good, good, it's really a good thing, my lord, my lord, we must equip this kind of magic car into the army as soon as possible, and when the time comes, we will be able to easily walk around with hundreds of artillery, and at that time, no matter what fortified city I face, I only need a few rounds of artillery to go down, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to break him." The first to speak was Feng Laohu.

After hearing Feng Laohu's words, Shi Lei didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile, then turned his eyes, pointed to an inconspicuous thing next to him and asked, "Lord Feng, what is this, why does it look weird, is it some kind of art." ”

Shi Lei's thing is like a piece of wood on the whole, about the thickness of a neck, and the whole is the appearance of a flying dragon, with a dragon's mouth in front and a dragon's tail in the back, just on the ground.

Shi Lei, who was watching it, was curious about this thing, and Feng Dacang said with a little crying and laughing, "My lord, this is done by the young son of his subordinates, Weichen's young son likes to make fireworks since he was a child, and often makes some strange things, this thing was originally just made by him for fun, and his subordinates originally wanted to destroy him, but later saw that this thing was still somewhat useful, so he didn't move it, but put it in the warehouse, but I didn't expect it to be taken out this time." ”

Hearing Feng Cannon's words, Shi Lei felt a little curious and said, "Hey, what is it, you can listen carefully." ”

"Your Excellency, this thing is divided into three parts, and there is a place for ignition behind the dragon's tail, as long as the tail is ignited, the gunpowder stored in the dragon's belly will burn, so as to push the fire dragon to fly forward, and when the gunpowder in the bottom compartment is burned, it will ignite the powder inside, so as to burn the gunpowder in the second compartment, and when the gunpowder in the second compartment is burned, the gunpowder in the first compartment will also burn, although this seems very troublesome, But it can make this fire dragon very far away, just this one, if it is full of gunpowder, it can make this fire dragon fly out five miles. Feng Cannon explained to Shi Lei with the fire dragon.

After listening to Feng Cannon's words, Shi Lei's brain suddenly became stunned, and he scolded in his heart, he never thought that he would see the original rocket in the seventeenth century, yes, according to Feng Cannon's explanation just now, this is exactly the same as the launch principle of the rocket in later generations, except for the different materials, everything else is the same, at this time, Shi Lei almost wanted Feng Dacang to find his little son, and ask if he is the same as him, and he is also from later generations, but, Later, after Shi Lei calmed down for a while, he gradually thought clearly, this is just a coincidence, in fact, this principle is the same as the principle of many fireworks production, except that the Chinese used him in making fireworks, and the Westerners used him in rockets.

"My lord's forgiveness for my sins, please also ask my lord to spare him this time for the sake of his young son, and if there is any guilt, his subordinate will bear it." Seeing that after he explained, the expression on Shi Lei's face changed for a while, Feng Dacang suddenly became nervous in his heart, thinking that the adults were not satisfied with what he did, and wanted to blame his young son, thinking that he was already in his forties this year, and he only had such a son, Feng Dacang couldn't help but beg.

Feng Cannon's pleading voice interrupted Shi Lei's fantasy, and when he woke up, he saw Feng Cannon, who was kneeling in front of him, extremely nervous, Shi Lei hurriedly helped her up, and whispered to him, "Don't be like this, don't be like this, how can this official blame you, it's too late for this official to thank you, where is your son, bring him to meet this official, this official has a lot of rewards for him." ”

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Feng Dacang was suddenly pleasantly surprised in his heart, even happier than being an official, thinking that his son could be rewarded by Lord Shi, and then it was not a step by step, thinking of this, he hurriedly asked people to call his son.

"My lord, what is the use of this thing, it deserves your pleasure, according to his subordinates, he is far worse than the 'wooden ox and flowing horse' cart and water hammer." Seeing that Shi Lei was interested in such a thing, many people were puzzled, and Yuan Zongdi, who had not spoken, asked.

Seeing the disdain on everyone's faces, Shi Lei secretly despised them in his heart before he said, "What do you know, what is this, this is an artifact, with this thing, not to mention anything else, no matter how far away, as long as it is aimed at, it can be easily hit, and more importantly, in the future, at sea, this is an invincible thing." ”

Yes, when Shi Lei saw this primitive rocket, he had already thought about its greatest use, that is, at sea, and now the sea has entered the era of artillery, of course, the current artillery is still a very simple thing, sometimes a ship, hit by dozens of cannons, can still hold on not sinking, but this primitive rocket is different.

After having the original rocket, if you can magnify him dozens of times, and then put enough gunpowder in front of him, then when the Ming fleet fights with the enemy in the future, you can use this kind of thing to attack the enemy's ships outside the range of the enemy's artillery, unlike the current artillery that relies on impact force to attack, this primitive rocket uses gunpowder, and then there is enough explosive power of gunpowder, even if there is no way to blow up the ship, it can also kill many crew members on board, in that way, isn't it really crisscrossing the seas, The world is invincible, what bullshit 'East India Company', 'Invincible Armada', when the time comes, in the face of the Ming fleet, they have only one way, that is, to completely bury themselves in the endless sea.

It is said that people have no foresight and must have near-term worries, Shi Lei's situation is like this, now that the land has not yet completed the unification, he has already begun to think about the future of the sea, of course, he is just daydreaming now, if it can really be realized in the future, it can be regarded as prescient.

Soon, Feng Cannon's young son was brought over, different from Shi Lei's imagination, not the same as the kind of scientific researchers in later generations, creamy and weak, as if a gust of wind could blow them down, this is a strong young man with a role of one meter and seven functions, listening to Feng Cannon, he is just sixteen years old this year, with dark skin, wearing the gray clothes of an apprentice, in the craftsman camp, according to different levels, the colors of the clothes he wears are also different.

saw Feng Qiaosi, that is, the name of Feng Dacang's youngest son, this is the name that Old Man Feng asked a Xiucai Gong to give him a special name, and he also sent five catties of fat pork to Xiucai Gong for this purpose. Wearing the clothes of an apprentice, Shi Lei nodded, and it could be seen from this point that Feng Dacang was indeed a kind person and did not use his rights to take care of his own people.

"You are Feng Qiaosi, this is something you made." Seeing Feng Qiaosi standing in front of him, Shi Lei couldn't help but smile and said, the reason why Shi Lei was so happy was not only because he saw the prospect of Feilong, but more importantly, he found an excellent craftsman, thinking that Feng Qiaosi was only a little more than ten years old to be able to make such a good thing, so if he trained him a little in the future, his future achievements would be limitless!

"Yes, I made it, but my father said that this thing is useless, so I won't do it now, this lord, do you want this thing, if you want it, I'm making it for you." Hearing Shi Lei's question, Feng Qiaosi said a little stupidly.
