Li Junxian looked at the smoke and dust in the distance and knew that the artillery had exploded this time. Li Junxian had this worry before, because it was the first time he made artillery, and he didn't dare to get close to test it. In particular, this explosive bag is very powerful, and if you don't pay attention to it, it can kill people. Therefore, Li Junxian deliberately only made some leads of a few hundred meters, just so that he could go farther and test again during the test. Although this is very troublesome, it is still very necessary for the sake of small lives.

In fact, as Li Junxian expected, this flying thunder cannon exploded. Although Li Junxian didn't know why he blew up, he probably knew that it was nothing more than inexperience, or that there were various problems. Anyway, if you don't blow up the cannon a few times, you're embarrassed to say that you are studying artillery, and Li Junxian won't care about this explosion at all.

"Let's go! Check it out! Li Junxian said.

Li Junxian led the craftsmen to the ruins caused by the flying thunder cannon, Li Junxian picked up a piece of scrap iron left after the barrel of the flying thunder cannon was blown up, and took a serious look at it.

"Masters, you see, this steel seems to have trachoma, which is why it has caused the explosion. You see, the explosive power of these gunpowders shines through these trachomas. The result was obvious, and it blew up this flying thunder cannon. Li Junxian said.

Those craftsmen were a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "General Li, we also want to do some well, but it is too difficult to do without trachoma." We must first forge a piece of steel hundreds of times before we can do what General Li asks for without trachoma. But if you forge it hundreds of times, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money, so is it worth it? ”

"It's worth it! Even if you use steel that has been forged thousands of times, it is worth it. Li Junxian said affirmatively.

"Well, since General Li has asked for it, let's use steel that has been forged more than a thousand times to make another one. We don't have many weapons supervisors of this kind of steel, and they are all used to create special weapons for those generals. However, General Li is ordered by the emperor to act cheaply, and the ordnance supervisor should give it to General Li! The chief artisan said.

"Okay, I'm sorry for the masters!" Li Junxian said again.

"No hassle. It is our honor to serve General Lee! The Craftsman Leader said again.

Soon, the craftsmen again brought some steel from the Ordnance Superintendent, which was claimed to have been forged a thousand times, and the craftsmen assured that there would be absolutely no trachoma.

A few hours passed. The craftsman cast the cannon again, and it looked just like the one before. Li Junxian took a serious look, as if he couldn't see anything, so he had to trust these craftsmen again. However, Li Junxian still pulled a lead that was hundreds of meters long, and Li Junxian would definitely not approach this thing that was not officially stereotyped. This kind of unshaped artillery has many problems, and there is no guarantee of safety, and Li Junxian, a guy who spares his life, will definitely not approach.

"Ignition!" Li Junxian said, and a craftsman began to light the fire.

With the experience of the last time. This time, everyone lay down one after another, not daring to raise their heads. This time, he even hid a thousand meters away to ensure that the air waves could not blow to everyone. After a long time, the Flying Thunder Cannon exploded again.

"Bump!" There was a loud bang that rushed to the sky. The Flying Thunder Cannon exploded again.

Li Junxian looked into the distance, still shook his head, and said, "It's blown up!" ”

"How is that possible? We obviously don't have trachoma this time? General Li, we can guarantee that there will be absolutely no trachoma in this artillery! The head of the artisans assured again.

"It doesn't matter, I don't blame you, how can this new weapon be a one-time success. If you can make it within a month. Then I am already content. Li Junxian said.

"Thank you General Li for your understanding!" The head of the artisans thanked.

Li Junxian led the craftsman to the ruins again, and then picked up a piece of steel and looked at it. This time, the steel is a little different from the last time, and this time it seems that it can't withstand too much power, so it's blown up. Just now it was because of trachoma, but this time it was because the explosive power of the gunpowder was too great, so it couldn't withstand the power of the explosion.

"General Lee. We succeeded, as long as we were able to thicken this cannon body, then we could make a superweapon! The leader of the craftsmen said excitedly.

As a master of craftsmen in military weapons, he has a deep understanding of ordnance. Ever since he heard that Li Junxian was going to make a firearm, he was skeptical at first. But the power of the explosion just now. Let the Craftsman Boss know that this is a "superweapon". Although it was still blown up this time, the leader of the craftsmen could clearly see that there was no problem with Li Junxian's design, and the key was in the equipment of this cannon body. If the equipment of the gun body can be more powerful, it can be a success. As long as the barrel is thickened, then this gun can be used completely.

"How thick is that?" Li Junxian asked.

"General Li, at least 200 catties." The artisan leader said.

"Two hundred pounds? In the future, it will be two hundred and forty catties, and this weight is still acceptable. Li Junxian thought secretly.

"How many shells of this power can be fired?" Li Junxian then asked.

"This, I'm afraid, it's only two or three times." The leader of the craftsmen said with a sweat on his face.

Li Junxian's face suddenly collapsed, he thought he had succeeded just now, but the blow of reality soon came. Because if a cannon can only be fired a few times, and it needs to be forged a thousand times of steel, this is obviously not enough.

"Hey, I'm happy in vain, but it's still unsuccessful!" Li Junxian said helplessly.

Li Junxian originally thought that he could succeed, but he was happy in vain. If you do this, I am afraid that the cost will be high. Even though this artillery is very lethal, the country's finances cannot afford it. Sometimes, human life is so cheap, although the lethality of this gun is very high, but the cost is relatively high compared to human life. I'm afraid that even Li Shimin, a wise gentleman who claims to love the people like a son, will not choose this kind of thing that costs too much and is a little flashy. Therefore, this experiment in the creation of artillery was still unsuccessful.

"It seems that if the problem of material cost is not solved, then I am afraid that firearms will not be successfully made! But I boasted to Li Shimin that I wanted to use firearms to fight. But now it's like this bird, how to solve it? Do you still use catapults? Forget it, if it can't be solved after three months, use a catapult to throw explosives bags, and it will be a thunderbolt! Li Junxian secretly thought to himself, anyway, there was no way to do it.
