Chapter Eighty-Eight: Muskets

"Master Kuni, sometimes I really wonder if you are a god or not..."

"The amount of knowledge you have is simply the god of knowledge."

Gaita couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, I feel my own insignificance.

On the vast map of the world, the Severus dynasty occupies only a small part.

What does the bigger world look like out there?

Gaita couldn't help but want to offer to follow Liu Hong.

However, the war is not over yet, and the entire Severus dynasty does not know how much danger it faces.

As the king of the Severus dynasty, it was naturally impossible for him to abandon these people and leave.

I had to wait until I had an heir in the future, and directly handed over my position to the other party to explore the world.

"Your Majesty, the two points on the map that I have deliberately marked are my purpose."

"South and Central America has the world's most productive crops – sweet potatoes and maize."

"These two things are very important to me, so please send two fleets along both routes."

Hearing this, Gaita nodded earnestly.

"Don't worry, Master Kunshi, I will definitely send the best fleet to it."

"Just give me three months, and the sweet potatoes and corn will be served."

Gaita said confidently.

Seeing this, Liu Hong just smiled.

Although it seems that the journey is only three months, there may be many problems along the way.

In this era of poor navigation skills, Liu Hong only hoped that these fleets would bring back corn and sweet potatoes.

If you can't bring it back, then you have to give up.

Soon Gaita personally instructed the elite fleet to take matters into account, and sent a full sixteen warships away in one go.

And the day after the fleet left, the two weapons created by the craftsmen were finally released.

Originally, the manufacture of the transmitter of Longyin Thunder was very simple, but after Liu Hong's second improvement, it was relatively complicated.

Therefore, the production process is also more troublesome.

However, in exchange for the increase in range, the distance was almost doubled.

Somewhere in the woods.

Liu Hong is doing the final debugging.

Today he's going to see how far this new Dragon's Roar Thunderbolt can shoot.

Naturally, Gaita followed, wanting to see the weapons for herself.

The surrounding woods had now been cleared by the guards of Gaita.

The rest of these people are also absolutely loyal to the army of Gaita.

Therefore, Liu Hong is not worried about what will be leaked, or whether it will be exposed.

"Ready, put!"

I saw Liu Hong shouting loudly and immediately lit the fuse.

The next moment there was a loud bang, and even the ground was shaken.

I saw the dragon roar out in shock, crossed a high parabola, and suddenly exploded when it was still two or three meters above the ground.

The shock wave instantly toppled and broke the surrounding trees, and countless birds and beasts fled in all directions.

"What a terrifying power..."

Gaita was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Although he knew that the power of the dragon thunder was huge, he didn't expect that the power would be so great.

Seeing this scene, Liu Hong also smiled with relief.

Not only does the improved Dragon's Whisper Thunderbolt fire farther, but more importantly, it can explode in the air!

The airburst maximizes the lethality of the Dragon's Thunder.

And when you add shards to it, you can deal a wide range of damage.

"yes, let's try another one."

Liu Hong casually picked up a long pipe and quickly put it together with other parts.

Then a brand new gun was born.

Seeing this musket, Liu Hong showed a satisfied smile.

That's the weapon he asked his craftsmen to build.

It is a musket reproduced by Liu Hong with his memory, and its activation method is gunpowder activation.

Therefore, the gunpowder must be refilled after each use to be able to stimulate its power.

However, for this era, the musket can be called crushing everything, and there is no fear at all.

He immediately set up his musket and aimed it at the armored dummy not far away.

Only a "bang" was heard, and the armor family fell to the ground.

Liu Hong put away his musket and immediately ran over, and Gaita quickly followed to check the situation.

I saw that the armor had been pierced by the musket projectiles, and it had penetrated deep into the scarecrow's body.

"It's... What kind of weapon is this? ”

Gaita asked, somewhat stunned.

A small projectile that can penetrate the armor forged by a craftsman?

Sounds incredible.

Hearing this, Liu Hong smiled indifferently.

"It's called a musket, but it's a tricky way to activate it."

"But the advantage is that it can be used continuously, and the consumption is much smaller than that of the dragon roaring thunder."

Liu Hong explained.

That's what he invented for.

After all, whether it is the Severus Dynasty or the Han Dynasty, the gunpowder resources that can be made are limited after all.

It is likely that the dragon roaring thunder will not be consumed much before it is consumed.

However, muskets were able to significantly reduce the amount of gunpowder used.

And even if the firearm is damaged, it can still be rebuilt.

It's the most affordable weapon.

"Muskets... The national teacher is really a god, and he can even invent this kind of thing. ”

Gaita praised again.

If it weren't for Liu Hong being a big man, he would have to keep the other party.

With Liu Hong, will he be afraid of anything?

"Your Majesty, please make sure to build a batch of muskets as soon as possible."

"After a while, I want to train soldiers with muskets."

"But when I leave, I hope to borrow three thousand musketeers."

Gaita patted her chest and nodded frantically.

Not to mention just three thousand, it is thirty thousand, as long as Liu Hong speaks, Gaita doesn't blink his eyes.

Except for the king's seat that could not be given, the other Gaita didn't care.

After all, Liu Hong is his benefactor.

Soon.

With the order of Geta, all the craftsmen of the entire Severus dynasty began to build muskets.

These muskets are then quickly equipped with Geta's hand-picked troops.

Because of the power of muskets, almost all soldiers who were qualified for training were close to Gaita's soldiers and cronies of loyal people.

Meanwhile.

Dahan.

Nanyang County, Jingzhou.

Wei Yan struggled to pick up the spear in his hand and knocked the two soldiers to the ground.

Then he quickly stepped forward and tried to rush out.

And yet the next moment.

A large knife blocked his way.

"Zhang Xun! If you don't want to die, get out of the way! ”

Wei Yan said with a gloomy face.

"Did you come out this time at the behest of Yuan Yao?"

"Could it be that you're not worried that Yuan Shang will make a move on you?"

Hearing Wei Yan's words, Zhang Xun immediately burst out laughing.

"Wei Yan, as long as I kill you, who will know that Lord Yuan Yao sent me here?"

"Suffer death!"

Zhang Xun shouted violently, and the big knife in his hand slashed down.

Wei Yan could only hurriedly raise his gun to resist.

But he was now covered in wounds, which greatly slowed down his movements.

The strength has long been weakened.

Just a knife.

Wei Yan's spear was knocked away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xun slapped his horse forward, and the cold light flashed.

Wei Yan's body tensed and stiffened.

Blood gushed out.
