The firearms expert filled the shells into the artillery, and after the number was positioned, he took a step back contentedly.

At the same time, he took out two flints and flints from his arms, placed them in front of the fuse rope, and began to rub them.

There is no way, there is no other fire source, if you want to ignite the ignition rope and launch the Hongyi cannon, you can only use the primitive method of flint and steel.

After a while, the flint and steel ignited the triggering rope, and after lighting the triggering rope, the firearms expert hurriedly beckoned everyone and stepped back.

Because it was the first launch, there was no guarantee that there would be a possibility of exploding, and if they stood next to it and blew it up, they would all be killed.

For the sake of safety, it's better to stay away, it's not that he is not confident enough in his own technology, it's just that he will inevitably be a little rusty when he makes artillery for the first time, and then he will become proficient.

Everyone stood at a distance from the Hongyi cannon, but they could clearly see the hill and the Hongyi cannon.

Bang!

An earth-shattering bang sounded from the barrel of the Hongyi cannon, and then the cannonball erupted from the barrel and shot straight at the hill in front.

"It worked!"

Seeing this, the firearms expert exclaimed.

can shoot out smoothly, without exploding, it proves that the Hongyi cannon he made, there is no problem, there will be no problem with the explosion, and then, it depends on the power, if the power is great, then it will be a complete success.

There was a loud bang.

The cannonball hit the mountain, and the mountain was violently bombarded, and it exploded directly, falling apart, and the stones and clods of soil were blown to pieces, and in the next second, the dust covered the mountain.

Time passed quietly, and the dust gradually disappeared, and the original mountain, like dust, disappeared, leaving only a huge pit.

Underneath the mountain, the rocks and dirt were all shattered and scattered.

"it!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zi's eyes widened.

The power of the Hongyi cannon is too big, much bigger than he expected, I thought that it would be very good to be able to blow a hole out of the mountain, which is good, and it will blow up the mountain directly, the power is too outrageous.

"This ..... What about the hills? ”

Not only him, Sang Zhao and Wang Zhi were dumbfounded.

Although they don't want to believe that the mountain has been blown up, there is only one possibility, the mountain has been blown up by the Hongyi cannon just mentioned.

The power of the Hongyi cannon is beyond the scope of their cognition, in their minds, such a powerful thing cannot exist, but now it appeared in front of them, and they have seen it with their own eyes, in addition to shock, they are shocked.

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Zi saw that the firearms expert had already run to the Hongyi cannon, and there were several people around him, so he hurriedly asked suspiciously.

After the shells from the Hongyi cannon were fired, the firearms experts didn't know where to bring several people, and they also carried several buckets of water and ran to the side of the Hongyi cannon.

"After the Hongyi cannon is fired, the barrel will be very hot, and if you don't put off the fire with water, it will break."

After the firearms expert explained it again, he hurriedly beckoned to the people and poured water on the barrel.

At the moment when the water touched the barrel, the sound of evaporation sounded, the white water vapor floated up, and the color of the fiery red barrel also eased.

"Professional."

Zhu Zi and the others walked to the side of the Hongyi cannon and couldn't help but say.

He had seen the drawings of the Hongyi cannon before, but he couldn't understand it, let alone know that after firing the shells, there would be this problem, fortunately, there were firearms experts, otherwise it would have been made, if I didn't know how to pay attention to this, it was a disposable, and it would be bad when it was used up, and it would be a big loss at that time, after all, it would cost a lot of materials to make a Hongyi cannon.

"It's best to soak in seawater to cool down the barrel to the greatest extent, although we can do this, but it's too troublesome."

"Your Highness, if you use the Hongyi cannon later, you must prepare the water source and launch it, otherwise it will be destroyed, if it is in the sea or the sea, then you don't need to think about this problem, just soak the cannon barrel in the sea water."

The firearms expert nodded, and gave a few serious words.

How much materials and effort it takes to make a Hongyi cannon, only he knows best, if it is destroyed, the loss will be great, precautions, but you must mention it clearly, otherwise there is an accident, but there is no room for recovery.

"Got it, that means you can't shoot in bursts?"

Zhu Zi nodded slightly and continued to ask.

If you can't shoot continuously, but only once, it will be a big discount.

"As long as the temperature of the barrel is cooled down, it can be fired again."

"Therefore, the best position to mount the gun, or at sea, can be cooled down at any time by the sea, and the temperature of the barrel can be lowered as quickly as possible, and then the second fire can be launched."

The firearms expert shook his head, as long as it is not fired at the high temperature of the barrel, there will be no accidents, and when fired at high temperatures, it is easy to blow up the chamber, not only can not cause damage to the enemy, but also kill all the people who set up the cannon.

"If you can shoot continuously, it's not a big problem, and you did a good job, and you can make a Hongyi cannon in seven days."

"Hongyi cannons are there, how many arquebuses have been made?"

Zhu Zi nodded with satisfaction, if he can shoot continuously, then he will not panic, and when the time comes, he will set up a cannon on the beach and wait for the enemy to come.

"Since these seven days of energy were spent on the Hongyi cannon, the arquebus didn't have much attention, and it could only be done by the people below."

"Although two thousand arquebuses were not made, there were no less, fifteen hundred arquebuses."

Firearms experts thought about it, the number of arquebuses just counted today.

Today is the seventh day, after he finished making the Hongyi cannon, he will focus on the arquebus, after all, what Zhu Zi wants, there is also an arquebus, and he can't ignore it.

"Yes, you guys are doing a good job, you can let the big guys rest and rest, but the production can't be stopped, you don't have to rush like before."

"Send all the guns to the port, Sang Zhao, and arrange for someone to go to the port to receive arquebuses and Hongyi cannons."

Zhu Zi turned his head and commanded.

Fifteen hundred, this amount, is still possible, it is already the most arquebus that can be made in seven days, plus the existing 1,000 arquebuses, it adds up to 2,500 guns, and with the blessing of 2,500 arquebuses and Hongyi cannons, it will not be difficult to destroy the enemy.

The army that came out of the training base, the strength alone, would not be too bad, with the help of arquebuses, the battle between hot weapons and cold weapons, what the composition, there is no need for him to say more.
