Chapter 28 I am the king of this land
"Okay, let's not talk about this, I was scared when I thought about it." Chen Chao waved his hand, asked Ning Baizhi to come closer, pointed to the drawings on the table and said: "This appearance can make up for your Ning family's weakness in martial arts, this thing is called a musket, it is very powerful, if you can make it, you will really be invincible in the world!" ”
Just imagine:
An agile assassin with a musket in his hand, with a speed unmatched and a powerful jet of bullets, who else in the world can stop him?
Even if he is called, even if he is Han Lao, who is as strong as the two of them, he will capsize in the gutter!
"Really?"
Chen Chao nodded, but with a sigh, he said again: "Although the musket is good, it can't be made under the current conditions. ”
A trace of disappointment immediately flashed across Ning Baizhi's face.
"But it doesn't matter, this thing can be made now." Chen Chao knocked on the table.
Ning Baizhi leaned closer, supported her knees with her hands, and bent down to take a closer look.
Following Chen Chao's finger, a few drawings were drawn on the right part of the drawing.
It's a strange long strip, no, it's round, like a miniature version of a bucket, slightly wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
In addition to this, there is another version on the picture, like a duck egg?
The surface is pitted with a ring at one end.
"What is this?"
"Grenades!"
"A grenade?"
"Well, both. It is filled with gunpowder, and when used, pull the lead on the tail, and after a few breaths, it will pop...... This thing is very powerful, similar to the kind that is transported to the mining area to blow up the mountain. ”
"That's ....."
Ning Baizhi pursed her lips and tilted her head to take a closer look.
Since Ning Baizhi was leaning forward in a posture, standing on the right side of Chen Chao, when she spoke, the pair of huge jade summits rubbed Chen Chao's shoulders from time to time, plus the smell of the girl was very fresh and smelled very good.
Gradually, Chen Chao was a little distracted.
Chen Chao moved the drawings closer, and the two of them couldn't wait to talk face to face.
"But, I went to see it when it blew up the mountain, and that thing was really powerful, but it was also easy to hurt myself, and besides, how could the enemy stupidly hold this thing and wait for it to explode?" Ning Baizhi's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright big eyes stared at the drawings and expressed her questions.
The voice is soft and greasy, and it is very good.
"This is a question that I have naturally thought about." Staring at Ning Baizhi's round face, Chen Chao said absentmindedly: "Therefore, the gunpowder yield in the grenade will be much smaller, and the power is not so great, but it is enough to kill a large number of people." As for whether the enemy will stupidly wait for death on the spot, it's up to them, anyway, pull the lead, and you just throw the grenade. ”
"We?"
"Hmm."
Chen Chao looked at Ning Baizhi's eyes and nodded, "This thing is specially prepared for your Ning family, you have light skills, fast speed, and run away after throwing it, it is very suitable." ”
Ning Baizhi was stunned on the spot for a moment, looking at Chen Chao's face without taking her eyes off it.
He was willing to take out these things that were enough to change history and use them for us, the wanted criminals of the imperial court?
"What's wrong? What do you do when you look at it like this? ”
Ning Baizhi hurriedly turned her little face, stood up, and didn't look at Chen Chao: "We haven't known each other for a long time, Xiangye is willing?" Aren't we afraid that we have different hearts? ”
"Employing people without suspicion, suspecting people without using them, is the sincerity used by the prime minister to attract people's hearts! Besides, how to make you willingly do things for the original appearance, the original appearance has its own means. ”
"I see!" Ning Baizhi nodded silently, "When will this thing be made?" ”
"Probably, right now, but it's a little more troublesome."
"Can I try it first after I build it?"
"Absolutely."
After a short time, Ning Baizhi leaned over and retreated, exiting the big tent.
When he left, there was a strange look on his face.
Perhaps, digest what Chen Chao said to her today. The grenade can greatly change the predicament of the Ning family, and if it is successful, the Ning family may really become the number one in the world.
Soon after Ning Baizhi went out, Chen Chao picked up the wolf hair on the pen stand and began to continue his great career of drawing.
With muskets and grenades, how can you do without artillery?
When this thing is made, the era of cavalry should be over.
But Chen Chao knew very well that these powerful weapons, in addition to grenades, the other two things were made, at least a few years later, it was really the iron smelting industry of Daji was underdeveloped, and it was difficult to make a shovel and hoe, not to mention the barrel of the musket and all kinds of small parts.
Just to make a round barrel, it requires extremely high craftsmanship, and there are rifling, bullets and so on..... All in all, it's a long way off.
But grenades are different, and the requirements for craftsmanship are not so harsh.
The outside is wrapped in iron sheets, and the inside is filled with explosives, and if you want to increase the power, you can put some iron shards and steel balls inside.
When exploding, fragments and steel balls are sprayed out, and the lethality is definitely not small.
But to make a good and safe grenade, it takes time.
It is urgent to improve the overall industrial level of Daji.
With a few strokes, Chen Chao had already sketched a schematic diagram of the cannon on the drawing, and then added various details, and even drew a cross-section of the cannon.
These things, as soon as they come out, it will save trouble, anyway, others can't understand it, and when there are conditions, they will make a finished product.
Thinking of this, Chen Chao looked forward to it.
I am the king of this land!
......
After dark, the camp was unusually quiet.
Since the Chen Dynasty came to Qingshan County, he has stationed his camp in a relatively spacious square in the west of the city.
Over time, buildings were built around it, but the makeshift camp remained untouched. Han Zhong persuaded Chen Chao several times, saying that it was to change to a safer and more comfortable camp.
But Chen Chao waved his hand and said that there was no need to be so troublesome, it was very good here.
For the sake of Chen Chao's safety, under Han Zhong's arrangement, a total of three layers of insurance were set up around the camp.
The first layer is the outskirts, patrolled by ordinary soldiers with guns, who are responsible for driving away the lost people and preventing them from approaching at will. The second layer is the dead soldiers stationed in the camp, some of them are disguised as women who cook on the fire, some are disguised as clerical officials, and more of them live in tents every day, and they do not come out easily, forming a circle around the big tent of the Chen Dynasty, tightly guarding the middle. The third layer is Han Zhong, the gentleman's sword has never been too far away from the Chen Dynasty, and those who dare to assassinate the Chen Dynasty under Han Zhong's nose are definitely drinking a few glasses of rice wine and eating the gall of the ambitious leopard.
In the camp, several bonfires were lit.
The orange-red, warm flames roasted the dead, all uncomfortable. They are still more accustomed to the cold, because then they have more perception and action, and they will react more quickly to unexpected situations.
However, it is now the second half of the night, and most of the people in the camp have already fallen asleep, and they have nothing to do, so they simply spend this long and cold night around the bonfire, which is also the permission of the Chen Dynasty.
"Old Han!"
On the third watch, everyone saw Han Zhong, who was dressed in cloth, walking out of the tent, and they couldn't help but stand up and bow slightly.
"Well, let's all get up."
Han Zhong waved at them, lifted the curtain, and stepped into another tent.
That tent is the biggest secret in the camp now.
Only Han Lao, Xiangye, and his wife can enter, as well as a small number of Han Lao's carefully selected A-character dead soldiers.
They knew that the thunder was being made in the tent.
The dead soldiers responsible for protecting the Chen Dynasty were divided into A, B, and C, and all of them did not have their own names, and they were called by code names, such as "Scarface", "Big Sword", and "Flower Monk".
Among them, the A-word dead soldiers are the most trusted, and all confidential things are done by them, including the production of heavenly thunder.
And Han Lao got up before dawn because today Han Lao was going to take the heavenly thunder to the mine outside the city to blow up the mountain.
After waiting for a while, Han Lao walked out of the tent, and several dead soldiers behind him jointly carried a box, which was covered with a black cloth, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
"Scarface, during my absence, the guards of the camp will be temporarily handed over to you to take full responsibility and guard your posts."
Han Lao said to a dead soldier leader outside the tent. He has a long scar on his face, codenamed Scarface.
"Yes!"
Scarface knelt down on one knee.
After Han Lao completely disappeared into the camp with the heavenly thunder, Scarface slowly stood up, he stood still, and looked at a tent in the distance that was larger than the surrounding area, with an evil light in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
