Lin Qiang excitedly hugged Liang Shuopeng's shoulders and shook it: "Liangzi, Liangzi, we have a cannon, hahahaha." I didn't expect that the gun hadn't come out yet, but you could actually get the cannon first. ”

Liang Shuopeng pushed his glasses, looked at Lin Qiang with disdain and said, "Brother Qiang, do you think that a cannon is much more powerful than a gun." ”

Lin Qiang nodded and said, "Yes, otherwise?" ”

Liang Shuopeng looked at Lin Qiang speechlessly and said, "And the truth is the opposite, cannons are much easier than guns." The cannon only needs to be thickened, and the gunpowder is qualified to push the projectile, with enough destructive power. But the gun is not. ”

Liang Shuopeng raised the hot small steel cannon in his hand, shook it, and showed it to everyone present: "First of all, if you go from a cannon to a gun, you must solve the problem of the barrel." When the smelting technology is insufficient, the barrel cannot be as thick as the wall of the barrel, and if it is not done well, it will explode. In addition, if it is a semi-automatic rifle that is more complex, it must also have a trigger, a primer, a firing pin, etc., and the design is even more complicated. ”

Tsuneishi was shocked that Liang Shuopeng was able to reduce the cannon in this world, and he felt that the strength of his troops had the possibility of further improvement, and he was still very happy. But after hearing Liang Shuopeng talk about the many problems of making a gun, Tsuneishi kept his arms around his chest and was silent for a long time. After a while, Tsuneishi said, "Liangzi, but the gun still has to be made." The small steel cannon is certainly strong, but if it is reduced to destructive power, it will definitely be big and heavy. Individual combat, fast marching, etc., still rely on guns. If you say we don't have guns in our hands, then why do we need hot weapons, it's better to just use compound bows and crossbows. ”

Liang Shuopeng stroked his chin, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, Brother Qiang." He turned his head and called Lin Qiang, who hurriedly withdrew his gaze from the small steel cannon in his hand and responded, "What's wrong?" ”

Liang Shuopeng touched his chin and said, "You help me ask Robin tomorrow if he has time, I have to call him to Zhang Feng, it's time to get a blast furnace." ”

Tsuneishi interjected at the right time: "Liangzi, this cannon should still be wanted, let's have twenty guns at the beginning, you can look at the specific caliber, how much can you knock down a room with one shot, the effective range is not too long, just a few hundred meters." Do you see if your workshop productivity is enough? ”

Lin Qiang waved his hand and said: "If there is not enough manpower, I will transfer it to him, twenty cannons, hurry up and build it." The most can be improved, the ignition is too outdated. ”

Liang Shuopeng said with a bitter face: "The requirements of the two of you are really higher than the other." Big brothers, a single shot can knock down a room, but the power is not small. In addition, you also ask me to shoot at a range of several hundred meters, where can I build it for you? ”

Then Liang Shuopeng said to Lin Qiang with a bitter face: "You too, and you also asked me to improve the primer method." I also know how convenient it is to have a firing pin, a mortar or something. The question is also made, yes, just say that you can't eat this thing in one bite? ”

Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and Lin Qiang has to support Liang Shuopeng's requirements. But for Liang Shuopeng's complaints, Lin Qiang was helpless. After all, he didn't study liberal arts, he just knew a lot of things, you asked him to talk to Liang Shuopeng about technology, but he talked to Liang Shuopeng about art, donkey's lips are not horses' mouths.

Of course, Lin Qiang's biggest specialty may be stinky and shameless, he patted Liang Shuopeng's shoulder nonchalantly and said, "Come on, I fully support you with manpower and material resources." The quickest way to get a gun. No matter how low-level the technology is, if it can be made, it is an epoch-making breakthrough. ”

Liang Shuopeng also nodded, he also understood what Lin Qiang meant, after all, this world is now centered on magicians, and no matter how many people who can't do magic, they are cannon fodder. Therefore, the appearance of more powerful weapons can one day in the future, and fight against people with strong magic.

Let's start from scratch, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to do it in one step, but it should always give people some hope.

Late at night, the people in the R&D center had dispersed, and Liang Shuopeng still did not return to the mountain courtyard. Now, with the familiarity of everyone with the mine, each has its own stall. As in the early days, it is rare for everyone to live together. It's just that they often eat together, and then it's convenient to rest in their own rooms in the small courtyard, and if it's inconvenient, they go directly back to their own places of work, Robin built a personal living room for everyone.

To say that Robin is also magical, when he first arrived in the mine, he had no sense of existence, and later after seeing the invention of the mine, he somehow worked in the mine. Not only can it meet many of the construction needs of the mine, but he even restores the beautiful vision of life for his own travelers.

In Liang Shuopeng's residence, Robin used multiple pieces of spliced composite glass to realize Liang Shuopeng's psychological needs for the vitreous research institute. even built a sewer system and built a rain shower system for Liang Shuopeng to bathe and disinfect.

Liang Shuopeng had just taken a shower at this time, looking at the moon tonight through the ceiling skylight of the Vitreous Research Institute. He racked his brains to think about the information about firearms that he had seen in the museum of his previous life, and thought about it in combination with the existing technical conditions. Eventually, he came to his senses and drew on the drawings.

Liang Shuopeng is doing a good job here, not only is the production workshop of the R&D center now working overtime to produce artillery, but I heard that it is a gun and has an idea. The people in the mine who could get the news were all happy, but Zhao Huiying was busy now.

Let's put it simply, Zhao Huiying's job is also very simple, that is, painting propaganda posters and writing propaganda slogans every day. However, different periods have different requirements.

For example, during the period of Rod's time, Zhao Huiying only needed to write some words encouraging labor in the mine, plus some propaganda posters to promote the glory of labor. The work is not difficult, and there are many people who support it. After all, the mine is well organized under the management of Rhodes, and the mine itself is a place of work, and the people here are not lazy.

And now, because of a series of events with the nobles, especially after the drama arranged by Lin Qiang. These people who don't know magic in the mines, now under the encouragement of Lin Qiang, the young people's emotions have intensified, forming a strong atmosphere of confrontation with the nobles.

Zhao Huiying's propaganda is naturally to serve the people's aspirations of the mine and the overall environmental situation. She didn't really think so much about what was right and what was wrong, she only knew that after arriving in this world, those powerful people who could do magic were very unfriendly to her group.

Then first Rhodes was taken away, and then the mine welcomed bastards like Huey, and the atmosphere of the overall life became more and more difficult, which could not make her feel that nobility was not a good thing.

She is in favor of courageously opposing and fighting against the aristocracy. She also took Robin and the people from the propaganda department to the streets and alleys every day to check the posters.

It's just that the idea of encouraging confrontation and struggle with the aristocracy in this way has released a bad signal to some old people who have been obedient all their lives.

Most of the old people's thoughts are seeking stability, they are worried, and they are unwilling to cause trouble. This is despite the fact that the mine has just erupted in bloodshed. But their hearts are different from those of young people, and they have enough opportunities in their abundant life to meet people with strong magical powers.

They think from the bottom of their hearts that just with the current people in the mine, this little bow, this crossbow, it is not enough to see at all. It can be said that everyone in the mine is tied together now, and it is not enough for a powerful magician to strike.

The words of the old people cannot be ignored. They have a dominant position in each family. The younger generation is accustomed to listening to the elders, and the younger ones always obey the older ones.

Gradually, some children also think that young people are not capable of doing their best, and even some young people begin to doubt themselves.

Zhao Huiying took people to the street today as usual to prepare to draw propaganda posters, and she was drawing, when suddenly a rotten tomato fell from her head and smashed it on her head. Zhao Huiying touched it, her face was incredible, and then a sour smell hit.

"Hell, let you guys just talk nonsense every day, if you really do it with the magician, everyone has to be buried together." A strong man carrying a wine bottle was on the window on the second floor, talking and scolding. Robin's eyes were sharp, and he saw that he was still holding a tomato in his hand, and he was about to throw it at Zhao Huiying. hurriedly pulled Zhao Huiying aside, but the tomatoes happened to hit him on the back.

The angry Robin was about to rush into the drunken man's house to theorize, but was dragged by Zhao Huiying. Zhao Huiying lowered her voice and said, "Don't be impulsive, look around." ”

Robin was stunned, turned around and looked around, and found that there were some figures looming behind the windows in the surrounding houses, and he instantly understood that it should be watching the excitement.

Yes, this drunk man definitely does not represent a person's mind, which shows that this matter has become more and more serious in the mine.

Where there are people, there will be disagreements, but if there are disagreements, they may not be resolved immediately, and many times an opportunity is needed.

Robin couldn't help but say, and took Zhao Huiying's hand and walked out of this block. Several people from the Propaganda Department hurriedly followed behind, until they reached the gate of the small courtyard in the mountains, and were stopped by the people on duty of the mine protection team: "What's the matter?" ”

Robin said angrily, "I want to see the mine manager." The mine protection team nodded and said, "Please cooperate, I have to go in and report." Robin was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Zhao Huiying and said, "Okay, bear with me if you are angry again, don't make it difficult for the soldiers." ”

The two members of the mine protection team on duty at the door glanced at Zhao Huiying gratefully, and one of them hurriedly turned around and walked quickly to find Lin Qiangtong.

But the more Robin thought about it, the more angry he became, so he simply sat on the ground at the gate of the small courtyard.
