As we all know, crazy people have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and this disease can't be cured even if Shangguan abandons the disease, and the boss Xiao Chen can't cure it.

It is a natural defect and an incurable disease.

Regardless of Dugulou's opposition, he insisted on making his own ideal cannon.

And it really worked.

Speaking of which, it was still inspired by Xiao Chen, because Xiao Chen once said that the tail fin could be installed on the shell......

This is easy to say, but it is difficult to operate.

Because of the position of the tail wing, the shape and size of the fins, this needs to go through countless tests, and each test is an adventure.

Fortunately, their security measures were so good that they only injured dozens of people......

After the cannonball is pretended to be a tail, it can fly very stably without rifling, which greatly improves the accuracy, and without the resistance of rifling, the firing range is also relatively increased under the same amount of gunpowder.

After watching the test firing of the new cannon, Dugulou was silent for a long time and couldn't say a word.

In the end, it just came a madman, madman, you are really a madman!

Of course, there are still many problems with this new type of cannon, first of all, the manufacturing process of shells is too complicated, the manufacturing cost is outrageously high, and ordinary workers cannot participate in the manufacture at present, and can only be completed by dozens of apprentices brought out by the madman himself.

In this way, it will not be possible to produce it in large quantities, and so far, only a thousand or so pieces have been made, which is simply not enough.

In addition, it is easy to malfunction, for example, the tail of the shell may break or deform when fired, so the shell is likely to fall in the middle of the project, and it will be a good luck to go far or close...... It may even change its flight trajectory midway and injure friendly troops.

In addition to these big problems, there are many small problems, but despite so many problems, they have fully met the requirements of actual combat.

Although a thousand shells is a bit less, it is powerful, even if it cannot be added to all warships, but it is no problem to equip dozens of ships.

The problem is that Dugulou suddenly had a big concern, and he did not approve the equipment of these guns on the battleship for a long time.

went to Zhuge Xiaosheng to talk about his concerns, Zhuge Xiaosheng also became suspicious, and the two discussed for a long time without a result, so they could only come to the boss to make a decision.

"You mean you don't need this cannon?" Xiao Chen was also surprised when he heard it, why?

The reason is actually very simple, that is, once we use this kind of advanced artillery that is beyond the times in this battle, it will be noticed by many, many people.

The Rus, the Dongying, the Westerners, the people of Xiao Xinghan, the people of Li Wanjiang, and all our enemies......

Then they will definitely rack their brains and try their best to steal and seize the manufacturing process of this artillery, or they will do whatever it takes to destroy our arsenal and craftsmen!

This is the concern of Dugulou and Zhuge Xiaosheng.

"Oh......" Xiao Chen suddenly realized, I see!

The battle of Shunfeng Harbor is very crucial, but relying only on these a few new cannons has nothing to do with victory or defeat, rather than this, it is better to hide for the time being.

It's not too late to wait until enough shells are made, or until the manufacturing process is further refined and ready for mass production.

"Okay, then don't use it yet!" Xiao Chen made a decision after a little thought, "Before we are fully equipped with this artillery, the defense of the arsenal will be strengthened again, I think it will be closed and managed, no one outside is allowed to enter, and no one inside is allowed to come out, I will let Mo Feng send another special team to station, just in case!" ”

"Well, that's fine." The madman was the first to agree.

"Except for you! You'll have to give me back to the Governor's Palace!" Xiao Chen said loudly.

"Oh, it's very inconvenient to go back and forth in and out of the city......" The madman was greatly disappointed.

"Hey, hey." Liu Fuhai gloated.

"Don't laugh, in the future, your Imperial Treasure Prison will also have to be closed and managed, but you kid also has to go back to the Governor's Mansion to live, you two crazy people don't want to die, I can't watch you die of exhaustion!" Xiao Chen: This is an order, not a discussion.

"Okay, okay, you're the boss and listen to you." Liu Fuhai grinned, knowing that he wouldn't be smiling just now.

In fact, both of them understood in their hearts that the reason why Xiao Chen had to let them come back to live in the governor's mansion was mainly for their safety......

"How's your hot air balloon research?" Xiao Chen is ready to use the hot air balloon as an air force, and now is the time to put them into actual combat.

"Alas...... Not so good. Liu Fuhai looked depressed, "I haven't even figured out the fire prevention until now!" ”

In the past few months, according to incomplete statistics, dozens of hot air balloon birds have been destroyed with great difficulty!

Without exception, all of them were destroyed by fire.

And the hot air balloon has no fire but can't fly at all, which is simply an irresolvable contradiction.

The main reason is that there is no fireproof cloth to be produced now, so Liu Fuhai can only make improvements in fuel tanks and flamethrowers.

Although the fire performance of the steel fire protection cover is greatly enhanced, the weight that can be carried is correspondingly reduced.

At present, the gondola can only carry two people and about 30 catties of oil bottles and explosives bags that can be thrown underneath......

"Isn't that already very good?" Xiao Chen was surprised when he heard his description, "What are you doing with a sad face?" Not to mention that it can take two people on it, even if it is one person, it is quite remarkable, Fuhai! ”

"Don't mention it!" Liu Fuhai shook his head again and again, "That fireproof cover can only prevent the flamethrower from catching fire, but the temperature it produces is very high, and the gunpowder and oil bottles will detonate directly as soon as they get close!" ”

That's a big problem.

Whether it's a bottle of oil or a bag of explosives, you always have to light it before throwing it, right?

And when you ignite the fire, you have to see the Mars, and when the Mars is blown by the wind, it may ignite the dome, so how strong is the wind in the sky......

Is it okay to say that it is possible to use a trigger-type bomb? Of course, but you have to be able to make it.

If the trigger mechanism is not sensitive, the failure rate must be very high, and if you fall down with a slight angle deviation, you will not be able to detonate, and if it is too sensitive, you may directly detonate it even when you are moving......

The madman doesn't have time to help him develop this thing now, he can't make it himself, and besides, he can't focus on researching this thing, and there are still so many problems in his hot air balloon that he hasn't solved!

"There's no need to worry about this slowly, there's no bomb to be afraid of or anything, even if we throw stones from above, we can still kill people, the main thing is deterrence!" Xiao Chen said.

"I think the biggest function of the hot air balloon is to detect the enemy, I tried to ride once, condescending, look at that is called a clear!" Lin Yue said.
