What made Gao Huaiyuan happiest was that here he saw a kind of cannon from his hand-drawn paper, which was also cast here, that is, the Fran cannon he dreamed of, but now it is not called that, but is called a fast cannon, and it is quite different from the Fran cannon in terms of shape. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although the principle is still the same, this kind of fast cannon has the prototype of the modern after-loading artillery in later generations, the sub-gun is made of copper, and the sub-gun is directly stuffed into the gun chamber from the back of the gun chamber, the whole sub-gun is wrapped in the gun chamber at the tail of the gun, and a simple original gun bolt is designed, after the sub-gun is filled into the gun chamber, the gun bolt is pulled down, and the sub-gun is temporarily impossible to consider other firing devices, only the use of the lead to fire, so there is a small hole that can be inserted into the drug lead behind the ** of the sub-gun, Basically, there was a prototype of modern rear-loading artillery ...

In this way, it is much better than the Furlong cannon, at least it reduces the reduction of chamber pressure caused by gunpowder leakage, and the shortcomings of a significant reduction in firing range, and the loading speed can also be greatly improved.

"Okay! Finally saw this guy today! That's great! If you want to build more of this thing, you have to build more, and with this guy in the future, even if you run into the Tartar cavalry again, it will really be enough for them to drink a pot! Ha ha! Gao Huaiyuan finally restrained his excitement, and pointed to this kind of fast cannon and commanded Xue Yan. Obey the Lord! The small ones will step up to build more of this kind of fast cannon! However, this kind of fast cannon casting is complicated, consumes a lot of man-hours, and the accuracy requirements are also very high, and the manufacturing is relatively slow, and there are not many of them at the moment! Xue Yan hurriedly took the order while explaining to Gao Huaiyuan...

"How much has been built so far?" Gao Huaiyuan then asked.

"There are only about 90 doors in total, and the quality of the first batch cast last year is not good, and they are all rebuilt! There are only about 90 doors that can be used! Xue Yan hurriedly replied.

"Hmmm! It's a little less! But this is not a problem, and you will be proficient in building more in the future! First transfer half of the ninety doors in the library, send them to the Huang boy of Qin Fenglu, and form an army as soon as possible, and give the rest to the ten ships of the Haizhou Navy Division, so that they can equip them for the use of the sailors' accompanying infantry troops, and the rest will be sent to Fu Daquan, only equipping the infantry army and using it in the field with the army, this thing is better than the Shenwei cannon, and it is fast to load! Gao Huaiyuan immediately commanded. Be! Tomorrow, the little ones will arrange the transportation and send it to them as soon as possible! Xue Yan immediately nodded in agreement.

Xue Yan was also very excited, his face became red, when he was a thief, he never thought that he would have today, he often remembered the incident when he was subdued by Gao Huaiyuan, and when he thought about it, he sighed, and secretly satisfied himself for his wise choice...

After inspecting this cannon casting workshop, Gao Huaiyuan wanted to go to the warehouse to see how many guns were in stock, but Xue Yan suddenly said to Gao Huaiyuan: "Lord, there are two workshops in the south of the city, you might as well go and have a look!" The kind of firearm that the adults handed over to the little ones has been cast now, and it is also being built overtime! ”

"Oh? Okay! Check it out! After hearing this, Gao Huaiyuan immediately agreed, and happily followed Xue Yan to visit another workshop. As soon as he stepped into the workshop, Gao Huaiyuan was infected by the lively atmosphere here, hundreds of craftsmen were busy at their respective workstations in an orderly manner, even if a high-ranking official like him came over, no one looked up at him, he was still working nervously and nervously, Gao Huaiyuan didn't care, and didn't let Xue Yan disturb these craftsmen, but went straight to the back of the process, picked up an iron pipe on the row of shelves and watched carefully.

"The weight is OK, the workmanship should be more precise, after each of these guns is assembled, it must be fully charged, test fired several times, and check whether there will be problems and not let defective products enter the army!" Gao Huaiyuan put down the iron pipe and explained to Xue Yan...

Xue Yan hurriedly wrote down and nodded in agreement, this new type of firearm is something that Xue Yan and they have made up recently, the caliber has been reduced to about twenty millimeters, the weight has also been reduced to four kilograms, the length is about one or two meters, and the length is about one and a half meters after adding the wooden support, it is a standard flintlock pistol, and the firing device is improved by using the handcuff that Gao Huaiyuan first drummed out, and only a small number of firecrackers were tried in the army before, mainly because the casting technology is immature, troublesome to use and clumsy, The launch efficiency is not high, and there are many blind fires, so Gao Huaiyuan is not in a hurry to use a large number of equipment, but let these craftsmen continue to explore and improve the process, and now basically the technology has begun to mature, Gao Huaiyuan only allowed them to manufacture in large quantities, ready to equip the infantry army in the future, but now, this thing wants to be used in a large number of wars, I am afraid it is impossible in a short period of time! And after all, the cost and manufacturing quantity of this thing are far less than enough to support the Song Army's large-scale equipment, and now continue to produce, first, you can train more technicians, and you can also use it as a reserve to use it at a critical time。。。。。

Now that the artillery has been shown on the battlefield, Gao Huaiyuan plans to let the infantry army also start to equip this kind of thing in small batches in the future, and give the enemy a heavy blow at a critical time.

Mongolian Tartar? Bullshit, sooner or later send them back to the primitive society! Gao Huaiyuan thought badly!

In the end, Gao Huaiyuan took a handful of assembled finished products, weighed them in his hand, pointed to the muzzle of the gun and said: "In this place, you find a way to add a long dagger, the blade length is about one foot, it should be sharp and sharp, you can take it down in peacetime and let the soldiers carry it with you for self-defense, once you have no time to load it in wartime, you can immediately put the dagger on the muzzle, so that it becomes a short spear, so that the soldiers can also hold it to assassinate the enemy, which will make the combat effectiveness of the firecrackers much stronger, and also give them an extra layer of protection!" ”

After Xue Yan heard this, he even said that it was wonderful, and quickly called the subordinate named Gan Xiaoer who followed him over, and told him what Gao Huaiyuan meant again, this Gan Xiaoer usually works as a supervisor in the workshop, and is also the first batch of craftsmen who stole back from Gao Huaiyuan before the army are good at casting and making weapons, and now he is in charge of the technical work of several workshops, after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's request, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, this matter will be handled by the little one!" Be sure to equip these firecrackers with the long daggers requested by the adults as soon as possible! We won't let the brothers suffer when they use it! ”

Gao Huaiyuan and Xue Yan and others arrived in the general warehouse of Laiwu Iron Metallurgy, after opening the door of the warehouse, Gao Huaiyuan was immediately startled, only to see two rows of assembled artillery neatly placed in the warehouse, the number of which surprised him, a cursory glance at only this one large warehouse There are at least 100 medium-caliber Shenwei cannons, this has not looked at the situation of the other large warehouses!

"Good boy! That's a lot! Xue Yan, how many such Shenwei cannons are stored in Laiwu now? Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but ask Xue Yan...
