Patting Lin Abbe's shoulder, Zhang Qi said with relief.

Although this was a failed test launch in Lin Abei's eyes, and the cannonball exploded before it reached the predetermined position, in Zhang Qi's eyes, the cannon was already qualified.

As he said, with only a small change, a new type of artillery could be added to the Liaodi, and it could be directly incorporated into the infantry to form a new squad.

As he spoke, Zhang Qi stretched out his hand back, and Bai Xing presented the two utensils that his family had handed her to her with both hands.

"Here's a firing pin and a trigger igniter. Such. ”

He slammed the firing pin into the trigger, making a muffled pop.

This is a cannonball trigger device that has been researched by the riding and slashing world for a long time, and the principle is the same as that of the firing pin trigger of later generations, but because of the performance of black powder, the trigger needs to have a greater impact force.

However, this is just in line with the reloading requirements of black powder shells, and the two can be matched with each other.

On the school field, Zhang Qi spent some time explaining the principle of the trigger to Lin Abel and Luo Er, who borrowed a piece of paper and pen from Bai Xing and wrote down his words one by one.

"Overall, your new gun is qualified, but with a few minor changes, it can be put into production and used."

"You see, this is the new cannon I designed to match the ammunition, the structure of the slender water droplets can reduce the rolling action when the cannon is ejected, and it can hit farther, and the middle groove can be used as an air guide groove to make efficient use of the explosive energy of the tail powder pack, the new cannon is designed by you, then the task of the next period of time is to complete it completely."

"It's okay, in order to facilitate the management of the army, I've been thinking about setting up a new department recently, you two, hehe."

Zhang Qi smiled and looked at Zhou Yang on the side.

"Let's start the test from you, I will let Bai Xing come over in a few days, your school, temporarily separated from the Tiger Squat Army, and assigned to the Military Affairs Department, under the command of the Ordnance Bureau, temporarily led by me."

"Do you understand?"

"No!"

The eyes of the three people on the school field were full of excitement.

Being able to directly break away from a school in the first army and become a department under Zhang Qi's command, this is a big opportunity for the three of them, no, this is simply a big opportunity for the soldiers of this school to leap over the dragon gate, at this moment, the three of them were a little trembling with excitement.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi didn't say anything more.

He had already seen the new artillery, it really fit into the category of mortars, and the results of the test guns were also satisfactory in his opinion.

Nodding to the three of them, he waved his hand: "Let's go." ”

got into the chariot and drove out of the Tiger Squat Army barracks, through the window, Zhang Qi looked back at the Tiger Squat Army barracks again.

"Tanaka,"

"Yes."

"Secretly investigate the three of them, I want to know the past of the three of them, focusing on whether there has been a serious illness and the performance of the two before, and I also want to know whether the new cannon is really from Lin Abei's hand, and whether there is still someone behind him."

"No!"

Tanaka, who was driving, answered.

Zhang Qi sighed lightly and slowly closed his eyes to recuperate.

Knowing the birth process of the new cannon, in fact, he already knew that Lin Abbe could not be a traverser, but it was always good to do some research.

The warm spring sun sprinkled the earth, and the Liaoning region in May also officially entered the sowing period, and in the early spring, nearly two million acres of cultivated land in Liaoning and Liaoning were full of busy figures or instruments.

The advent of the steam engine made the productivity of Liaodi begin to increase significantly.

Some of the frozen soil that was previously unreclaimed by human means is now being excavated with the help of steam engines.

In the world of riding and chopping, research on the internal combustion engine has been going on for 50 years.

It's just that because of the construction process of the physics building, the progress made has only reached about 60 percent, and over the years, Zhang Qi has brought out some young people from the world, and through exchanges with various universities, Liaodi's knowledge reserves have been rapidly accumulating.

The emergence of various laws has gradually filled the foundation of physics, chemistry and mathematics.

Although it is said to be fast, from the perspective of future generations, the foundation of the knowledge palace of Liaodi is only filled by one-third of the foundation today.

Categorization, division, confirmation, falsification, a large number of students are invested in the official reserve, and only a small number of the top performers in various disciplines are engaged in these jobs.

Zhang Qi also knows the importance of knowledge, and although the government is now stable, he knows even more that the palace of knowledge can only thrive when he no longer worries about any threat from other forces.

War and chaos will only give birth to weapons, and only peace and stability are the warmers that civilization really needs.

——

Changan.

Chang'an in May is already under the scorching sun.

The summer cicada crawled out of the ground and climbed up the branches of the trees, struggling to bloom the ephemeral brilliance of life.

Weiyang Palace.

In the past two decades, compared with years ago, Liu Che is now more energetic.

The refining technology that was traded back from Qingzhou is real.

In Chang'an, in the middle of the two palaces, the Han masters have smelted steel that is stronger than before, and the output is amazing.

A good thing, a great thing.

Liu Che's heart for the haze of Liaodi dissipated fifty percent, supervised by Yulinwei, with the cooperation of his henchmen, the Han refining furnace has begun to build on a large scale.

Now the only thing that still makes Liu Che a little urgent is the iron ore output of Handi.

In the past, when the northern vassal states were still under the control of the Han land, the iron ore output of the Han land was actually enough, but now it is not possible, and the northern states and counties that are good at producing mineral deposits are now in the hands of the Liao rebellious ministers, although he has asked people to explore the mountains in the west, south and east directions, but the answer is that although there is, there are not many.

Although the ancient methods of prospecting existed, they could not be more systematic than the planning of later generations.

It is an indisputable fact that three points of manpower and seven points of luck are indisputable.

In the past few days, he has been thinking about whether to follow Qin Shi Huang and collect the world's soldiers to re-smelt.

Of course, the soldiers of the world collected here are the blades of other vassal states in the Han region.

It's just that he also knows that the implementation of this matter is not very large, and those princes and kings are not just lambs to be slaughtered, as long as he has this sign, chaos will arise again at that time, and it will only give the Liao Marquis a chance.

Let's focus on mineral smelting first, although there are fewer mineral deposits, but you can put in more servants, for the stability of the Han River, let's suffer the people again.

"Your Majesty, the spies from the northeast have sent back news."

"The dark line left by Liao Hua, the chief of the house, in Qingzhou revealed that a batch of iron ore in Qingzhou is secretly being sold to major wealthy merchants, and I don't know Your Majesty."

"Buy!"

"Sang Qing, you go in person!"

In Weiyang Palace, Liu Che's eyes were bright.
