Chapter 380: The Use of Gunpowder
Chapter 380
In recent days, there have been loud noises and sometimes puffs of smoke from the hillsides near Xizhen.
When the villagers in the town ran over to check the situation, they were stopped by the wolf rider, although the wolf rider didn't explain too much, but the villagers knew after seeing the person who rode the wolf, it must have been Qin Xi's movement, so they didn't pay attention to it anymore, after all, it was impossible for Qin Xi to pay them back.
Qin Xi did more than ten days of experiments, explosive packs, cannons, and simple forehead firearms, Qin Xi tested them one by one.
Although the great development of steel technology has greatly improved the strength of the cannon barrel, it has to be admitted that Qin Xi has never understood the core technology, relying on the little knowledge learned and idealized knowledge, Qin Xi only made cannons and explosives packs, and the range of the cannon is between 300 and 500 steps.
But don't underestimate the distance of 300 to 500 steps, how many bows and arrows can shoot a distance of 300 steps now, and the killing radius of the explosion after the cannonball is added to the steel ball is at least five meters away, which is a group kill, which is enough to crush all the current bow and arrow battle arrays.
The power of the explosive pack is much greater, and the killing range after the explosion directly reaches more than seven meters, which is definitely a terrible data for the current battle array.
As for the firecracker, Qin Xi really couldn't study it, so he either directly muted the fire, or exploded directly in the chamber, that is, the chamber was exploded. In the end, Qin Xi could only reluctantly give up and handed over this arduous task to the Mo family to study.
On the seventh day of Qin Xi's experiment, the First Emperor suddenly came.
"Daddy, why are you here?" Qin Xi asked.
The First Emperor smiled: "The shadow said that you have started to re-study explosives, so my father will come over to take a look, after all, this is an artifact that my father has in mind!" โ
Qin Xi rolled his eyes and said, "At present, two weapons have been tested, come and take a look." โ
Qin Xi led the First Emperor to the test site, came to the side of a trebuchet, and said: "This is a bag of explosives, plus a catapult, the range is from three hundred steps to three hundred and fifty steps, do you want to see the power." โ
"Of course, otherwise you stinky boy think you're here for your father?" The First Emperor patted Qin Xi as he spoke.
Qin Xi rubbed the back of his head and said to the soldier next to him, "Prepare to ignite and launch!" โ
"No!"
Qin Xi took the First Emperor to retreat to the trench dug behind, and then watched with a monocular.
When the soldier ignited the fuse of the explosive pack, a puff of white smoke rose from the pack, which was thrown by the trebuchet and made a beautiful arc in the sky, and then fell to the ground.
However, after falling to the ground, it fell to the ground, and the smoke ran out, but there was no reaction at all.
The First Emperor turned his head to look at Qin Xi, wanting Qin Xi to give him an explanation.
"It's normal for the explosives pack to hit the ground and destroy the lead, and the main purpose of the explosives pack is not here." Qin Xi climbed out of the trench, went to get a bow and arrow, lit the rocket, and shot it out, and the arrow happened to be inserted into the explosive bag.
"Boom!"
A loud bang frightened the First Emperor to jump up, and then opened his mouth wide to look at the puff of black smoke in front of him. At this time, the First Emperor's ears still felt a roar, and the power was simply huge.
Qin Xi walked over and said: "This explosive package is extremely powerful, a few packs can blow up the city gate, and the gravel is also very useful." โ
"Easy to use! It's really easy to use! With this thing, that city was announced by my Great Qin Iron Cavalry! If there was such a thing back then, why would it take ten years to unify the world! The First Emperor said happily.
Qin Xi didn't know when he led people to the crater, Qin Xi asked someone to take a tape measure and measure it on the ground.
"The crater is one meter deep and has a radius of six meters!" The soldier reported, and a group of soldiers immediately wrote it down in a book.
"M? What rice? Where is the rice? The First Emperor walked over and asked.
Qin Xi glanced at the First Emperor and said, "Please take the time to look at the math textbook I compiled, I don't want to explain this to you now, let's go, watch the cannon." โ
"Cannon?" The First Emperor returned to his position with doubts.
I saw a few soldiers pushing a cannon and walking out of the shed on the side, of course, the First Emperor didn't know what was going on, and even thought in his mind, did he insert the bow and arrow into it and fire it together?
"Reload the shell!" Qin Xi ordered.
The soldier immediately took out a round black iron ball from the wooden box next to him, and then laboriously stuffed the iron ball into the cannon hole.
The cannon hole was facing an area full of wooden planks, and as the red chess pieces in Qin Xi's hand fell, the soldiers immediately lit the fuse.
"Boom!"
There was a puff of smoke from the shelling, and the entire cannon could even be seen moving backwards for some distance.
"Boom!"
Then there was the sound of an explosion in the distance, and the First Emperor hurriedly looked over with a telescope, and directly poured a piece of plank people, some of which were even blown to pieces, and some of them were even still standing, but some of them were torn apart and ignited.
Qin Xi walked over with the people again, measuring the depth of the radius of the explosion, and counting the damaged wooden planks, he was very busy anyway.
After the First Emperor came over, he wanted to speak happily, but when he saw Qin Xi and the others seriously recording what they didn't understand, he just held back his words.
After the statistics were completed, Qin Xi looked at all the statistical data of the country, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "I announce!" The test data has stabilized! Dynamite packs! And gunpowder! Complete the test! It's time for mass production! โ
Everyone immediately shouted and applauded happily, in the past few days, the wolf light cavalry has participated in the whole test, knowing the power of this thing, and also knowing what impact this thing will have on the war, so it is also very happy to see that this thing can be equipped with the Qin army.
The First Emperor was a little confused, what is this? But they still applauded together, and they couldn't look stupid, because that would damage their majesty too much.
Qin Xi walked up to the First Emperor and said, "Dad, now you are satisfied, the invincible artifact you want has come out." โ
The First Emperor smiled and said, "You stinky boy, didn't you take it out before?" Why did you take the initiative to take it out now, and you made such an artifact. โ
Qin Xi sighed and said, "Alas! It's all forced by the situation, and you want to make me the prince now, then I have a way to control the use of this gunpowder, and I don't have to worry as much as before. โ
The First Emperor gave Qin Xi another slap, and Qin Xi almost fell to the ground. The soldiers on the side hurriedly turned their heads away, but they didn't hear anything, they didn't see anything.
The First Emperor scolded with a smile: "It turns out that your kid doesn't believe in being a father!" Come here, Father will loosen your skin! โ
"Dad, I was wrong!" Qin Xi turned his head and ran away, giving the First Emperor a chance to clean up himself.
"Stinky boy! Hold it! โ
