Chapter 200: Artillery Tests
When Flendy gave old Peiji a drawing, he once said. The artillery is extremely dangerous, and after it is cast, it is absolutely not allowed to test it privately when you are not present.
So after nearly twenty days of casting, ten guns of various calibers have been built, but they have not been tried once.
Artillery is a weapon of the country, and of course it needs the presence of His Majesty the Emperor, Gülen, so Flandy sent Gülen a message.
Today is not a big court meeting, just a daily routine discussion about some things that are happening in front of him, and since he has not told Glenn beforehand, Glenn does not know what Flandy told him to do.
I just wanted to sneak away like last time, but Prime Minister Tang Eun caught it all of a sudden.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do!" Although Prime Minister Tang En was old, his hands were still quite strong, and Gülen didn't dare to break free, so he had to tell the truth.
"Lord Donn, yes...... It's Flandi calling me......"
"Oh?" Chancellor Donne's eyes lit up when he heard that it was Flandy calling Glenn.
The last time Flandi sent a message to His Majesty the Emperor, asking His Majesty the Little Emperor to sneak away, just to meet the Emperor and the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince of the Viton Empire.
Prime Minister Tang En's only later knowledge was that he was very angry, at such an important moment, he, the prime minister, didn't know that he was not present!
It was the first time in hundreds of years since the independence of the Viton Empire that the emperors of the two empires met!
Therefore, since then, he has always paid close attention to the little emperor's every move, and as long as the little emperor makes any changes, he must find out as the prime minister!
Finally, when the opportunity came, the little emperor's face changed as he talked, and he got up and wanted to leave, so how could it work!
"Your Majesty, Flandi is looking for you at this time, there must be something big happening, or the old minister should go with you!"
Present were not only Prime Minister Tang En, Minister of Industry Tang En, but also the newly established Minister of Construction Gotha, and several directors of the Ministry of Construction who were discussing the construction of the imperial capital.
Seeing that Prime Minister Tang En grabbed His Majesty the Emperor, these people didn't know what was going on, but Minister Dean of the Ministry of Industry reacted quickly, and he knew that something was going on when he looked at Prime Minister Tang En's expression.
"Your Majesty, I'll go with you!" Minister Dean heard that it was Flandy calling Gülen, and immediately asked to go with him.
Although the Ministry of Construction has just been established, the current minister, Gotha, is an old minister transferred from the Ministry of Rites, and he already knows Flandy's name, and seeing that Prime Minister Don and Minister Dean are going with Gülen, of course he can't retreat.
So he said, "Your Majesty, and me." ”
Gülen smiled bitterly, even he didn't know what was going on with Flandy, but the three important ministers were quite positive.
"Okay, good, go and go. Glenn had no choice but to agree.
......
After the last time he was at the Great Dynasty Meeting, he opened the portal directly next to Gülen, which caused everyone to know, and when Flandi didn't have something urgent, he wouldn't open the portal directly by Gülen's side.
So Glenn took the three important ministers and came to the magic tower through the portal of the secret room.
"Flandy, what's the matter with me?"
Glenn went up to the seventh floor under the guidance of the maid, and when he saw that Flandi and old Pei Ji were there, he asked.
"Huh, Prime Minister Don, Minister Dean, Minister Gotha, why are you here?"
Prime Minister Tang En stroked the white beard under his forehead, looked at Flandy and said: "Just now we were discussing the issue of road paving, and you suddenly called His Majesty the Emperor, and the matter we discussed has not yet reached a result, of course we have to come with His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Well, as soon as Frandy heard it, he knew that Prime Minister Don was making excuses.
However, these three are all important ministers of the empire, and they can be absolutely trusted, and it is not a big deal to go to see the artillery test together.
"Gülen, old Pei Ji just came to inform me that I am going to conduct an artillery test, so I sent you a message to ask you to go and see it too. ”
"Is the cannon cast?" Glenn was delighted, and Flandy told him that this cannon could be controlled by ordinary people, and as long as there was enough steel, he could build as much as he wanted. He had been waiting to see how powerful the artillery would be.
"Great, we'll go now!"
Flandi looked at the three important ministers who came with him, and thought that it would be good for them to follow, so he waved his hand and directly opened the portal to the test site of the Academy of Sciences.
After more than ten days of construction, the current test site has changed greatly, and the earth magicians have built a small two-story building in the clearing, and a wall is being built around the clearing.
This open space looked fine from the air, but when it reached the ground, it was too big, and for such a long time, the wall was only less than half built.
However, this did not delay the people of the Academy of Sciences from conducting experiments here, and by this time there were already ten artillery pieces lined up in front of the small two-story building.
The ten guns followed Flandy's proposal, differing in size and with different barrel thicknesses.
Now the first test is to be carried out, the purpose of which is to find the balance between the thickness of the cannon wall and the amount of gunpowder additives.
Before Franky was brought in to supervise the experiment, the people at the Academy had already drawn up a detailed plan for the trial.
The smallest gun had only a one-meter-long barrel, while the largest had a three-meter-long barrel, neatly arranged from left to right, from small to large.
Especially the largest cannon, the barrel wall is very thick, and it looks very solid, standing in the open ground, looking majestic.
Old Pei Ji went to ask for Frankie, and Senior Barry was maintaining order in the test ground, and there was a "scientific researcher" waiting behind each gun.
Originally, I just wanted to invite the dean to supervise, but I didn't expect that even His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the old boss, Minister of Industry Dean, would come, and these "scientific researchers" were very excited.
This is the person at the top of the empire, four of them came at once, and when they went back, they said that they had been reviewed by His Majesty the Emperor, how glorious it was?
And I heard that His Majesty the Emperor loves the people like a son, and everyone in the imperial capital praises him, and today he finally met the real person, so these "scientific researchers" held their heads high one by one, striving to leave a good impression on His Majesty the Emperor.
Old Pei Ji showed Flandi the test plan he was going to do, and Flandi looked at it carefully a few times, and then handed it to Old Pei Ji and said, "Ready to start, start with the smallest dose." ”
"Yes, Dean!"
Except for Gülen, Prime Minister Donn, Minister Dean, and Minister Gotha didn't know what artillery was, and they didn't understand what such a big iron pipe frame was used for, so they all approached with great curiosity to watch.
"Flandy, is this called artillery?"
Prime Minister Tang En curiously touched the largest cannon, and found that it was made of ordinary steel, but did not find anything peculiar.
"Yes, Your Excellency Donn, it's about to be tested, let's stay away!"
"Oh, yes, Dean, Gotha, you two don't look at it, it's about to be tested. ”
Although I hadn't heard the word test artillery, I understood the meaning, probably the meaning of testing this artillery, and a few people took a few steps back.
Then I watched as the "scientific researchers" put large and small paper bags into the front of the iron pipe, and then stuffed a large iron ball in front of them.
Finally, at the top of the tail of the iron pipe, a small stone rod was inserted, and a line was tied to the stone rod.
The line was relatively thin, but very long, and it was placed on the ground when it first came, and the attention of the people was attracted by the artillery, but they did not notice it.
After completing these steps, the "scientific researchers" walked back along the line, walked more than 50 meters, and saw that the few people in front of them had no intention of leaving, and they all looked at Lao Pei Ji.
Old Pei Ji was also helpless, so he had to look at Frandy again.
Flandi understood, clapped his hands, and said, "Gülen, Your Excellency Donn, everyone go back, it will be very dangerous here!"
Not only these people, but also the old Pei Ji, Senior Barry, and the "scientific researchers" in the back didn't know what the danger was, and they retreated only because it was written in the operation manual given to them by Flandy.
Gülen knew the danger of gunpowder, so he was the first to turn around and leave, and when Prime Minister Tang En, and a few others saw that His Majesty the Emperor was gone, they also followed him to the place where these "scientific researchers" were standing fifty meters away.
