Chapter 356: Trial Production of Firearms (5)

A few days later, that Zhu Lin Dongxing hurriedly came over, claiming that the bronze cannon had been made and asked Chen Fei to inspect it. And Chen Fei was also muttering, why is it so powerful, it has only been done in a few days? Chen Fei didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he immediately hurried over to take a look. And Chen Fei saw this cannon, and its appearance was the same as the drawings he had drawn before, that is, the Napoleonic cannon in later generations.

The artillery that Chen Fei made out is actually a Napoleonic gun that has stood at the peak of smoothbore guns, this kind of artillery is easy to use, fierce firepower, and has a long range and high shooting accuracy. It can be said that there is no smoothbore cannon that can be better than him, and it is normal for Chen Fei to take out this. So Chen Fei saw this appearance and did not pass the acceptance immediately. Although this appearance looks very normal, Chen Fei is still very skeptical, because the work was completed in such a short period of time, is it appropriate to be in such a hurry? Originally, Chen Fei thought that it would take at least a year or two to complete, and this Northern Expedition to the Turks should not be able to catch up. But now that it has been done, Chen Fei was the first to be happy, he was worried about the quality of this thing.

Chen Fei took out a magnifying glass, which was a tool specially prepared by Chen Fei for the acceptance of artillery, and was made of transparent crystal. This was made by a professional grinder from the Ordnance Supervisor, and the multiplier was very large. And Chen Fei just didn't believe that this Napoleonic cannon could be made so quickly, if it was so easy, then countless people who developed artillery were all eating fast?

Chen Fei took a magnifying glass and magnified it for a long time on this so-called Napoleonic cannon, and then coldly looked back at Zhu Lindong, who was in charge of command.

"What do you call it? Have you followed my request and not even a single trachoma? Chen Fei said.

Zhu Lindong immediately said uncertainly: "Maybe not!" ”

"So you're still a genius? It's only been a few days, and you've made a cannon without trachoma to give me a job, and you've done it in just a few days what it took hundreds of years for someone to do? Chen Fei asked coldly again.

"What hundreds of years?" Zhu Lindong was puzzled.

Chen Fei didn't say anything, just said: "Put this cannon, the muzzle of the cannon up." Then pour water into the chamber! ”

Chen Fei's order was quickly carried out, the cannon was erected, and everyone poured water into the muzzle. Judging from the appearance, there was no water overflowing from the muzzle, but this was just the beginning, and Chen Fei was not in a hurry.

And after three hours, Chen Fei said to that Zhu Lindong: "You go and wipe the cannon body with paper to see if there is any problem?" ”

No matter how stupid Zhu Lindong was, he knew what was going on, and he came to this very hesitantly, and then wiped the cannon with paper. The dry paper in the book was suddenly wet. Apparently, part of the water in the chamber of the gun has overflowed, indicating that the gun has a sand hole.

"Got it?" Chen Fei asked.

None of the craftsmen here are stupid, so they naturally know what this is all about. Their Zhu Lindong, who was in charge of command, had just taken office, because Chen Fei had deliberately proposed a meritorious service that was enough to apply to the emperor for the title of these craftsmen. So they were all very anxious, they wanted to get this cannon as soon as possible, and then get the knighthood as soon as possible. As a result, it became so shoddy.

It didn't take long for water to start dripping under the cannon shaft, apparently with a certain amount of water in the spilled water. It's already dripping. This makes everyone's face even hotter, this is simply not artillery, it is simply a sieve, and there are trachoma everywhere.

"According to the rules of your armory. How should such a shoddy weapon be punished? Chen Fei asked.

Someone said vaguely: "Send it to Dali Temple and hand it over to Dali Temple for interrogation." ”

"Okay, I won't help Dali Temple decide to punish it. Send this Zhu Lindong to Dali Temple! Chen Fei said.

Zhu Lindong's legs suddenly weakened, because he was actually going to be sent to Dali Temple. If Chen Fei is willing to punish him. That shows that this matter is still an internal matter in the "military industrial system", and everyone can digest it internally, and there is no need to make trouble with the judicial system. But Chen Fei actually wanted to send him directly to the judicial system, which means that he is doing official business, and there is no favor to talk about. This is similar to whether or not to expel officials from the party in later generations, and if they are not expelled from the party, it means that they do not have to bear criminal responsibility. If Chen Fei is willing to punish him, it means that he can live a good life, at most, he will start all over again, and fight again after being removed from his post without implicating his family. But once sent to Dali Temple, once sentenced, the final result is that the family members are looked down upon, and even the family members are implicated, which is serious.

"Chen Langzhong, spare your life!" Zhu Lindong shouted.

But Chen Fei didn't pity him, and let the soldiers in charge of guarding the weapons prison pull him to Dali Temple.

"You saw that, right? This is the consequence of shoddy work! You must know that you are manufacturing ordnance, which is related to the safety of our Datang army. If you are shoddy, it means that the army will be in danger. And when there is danger in the army, it can even affect our country and nation. Let me tell you a story, it turned out that there were two princes engaged in a civil war for the throne, and one of the princes' groom had one less nail in the leg of the prince's war horse, because it was too late. But the prince went to the battlefield, because he missed this nail, which caused the horseshoe to fall. In the end, the war horse came down and threw the prince off the war horse. And the front line was no longer commanded, and since then it has been fought for the throne by another prince. Later, some people said that one less nail destroyed a war horse. Ruined a war horse, ruined a prince. One prince is ruined, one empire is missing. You should know the seriousness of this matter, if anyone dares to be so shoddy in the future, then don't blame me for sending him to Dali Temple. Chen Fei said angrily.

"Chen Langzhong, do you want us to melt this cannon and recast it again? In the future, we will definitely not take these shoddy things to deliver. Someone said right away.

But Chen Fei said: "No, stay here, any of you who participated in the production, engrave the name, and then pull this cannon outside the ordnance prison to exhibit." I hope you can be ashamed and courageous! (To be continued......)
