Chapter 9: Shenwu Cannon

Lin Fengjin was not interested in the next thing, and he didn't follow to watch, and after handing over the snake wine to Min Zhen, he went to another place, that is, the newly renovated Gewu Academy of Donglin Academy.

The establishment of this Gewu Academy is naturally inextricably linked to Lin Fengjin, and it can be said that most of them are related to him. And the funds in the Gewu Academy are also allocated tens of thousands of taels by the Lin family every month, as if it is a monster that swallows gold, many people in the Lin family have a lot of complaints about this, but fortunately, Lin Fengjin is a strong person, and the support of Lin Yuanwai for his son is almost unconditional, so he can persevere.

It is worth mentioning that the establishment of this Gewu Academy naturally made Momen regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and even Nanzheng's Momen and Dongxia Momen joined forces to raid once, unfortunately, Donglin Academy was already prepared, and secondly, its strength was really strong and successfully repelled it.

At this time, the wind is surging in the east, it can be expected that Wu Zuocheng will be involved in a huge whirlpool from now on, and the shadow of war is about to shroud there, Lin Fengjin when he designed Wu Zuocheng, he ignored the attack from the sea, so now he can only hope that the Gewu Academy can provide him with some help.

After coming to the Gewuyuan, the bystanders saw that it was the big financier, and the snow dog who presided over the Gewuyuan of course came out to greet him in person. Lin Feng said his request, first of all, a defensive weapon, and then mainly to prevent attacks from the sea, the snow dog bowed slightly, and asked Lin Feng Jin to go back, and after being heavily guarded, he came to a machine machine.

Seeing this piece of mechanical equipment, Lin Fengjin's eyes suddenly lit up, because this thing actually looked quite similar to the whale hunting cannon in his previous life, and the iron crossbow arrows fired by this thing called Shenwu Cannon could also be equipped with smoke bottles according to different situations of battle. Fire oil pots, plague pots, and so on.

Moreover, the complete system of this Shenwu cannon is divided into two parts, the first part is the aiming, firing machine bracket device, and the other part is the track logistics part of the work provided by two traps to provide winding, loading and other work, so only two people can control it, and the rate of fire can be maintained at an astonishing six rounds per minute!

And, even if the mechanic was in charge of winding, the logistics of the loading were broken. It can also be switched to manual mode immediately, but it will consume eight manpower, and the rate of fire will be reduced by half to three rounds per minute.

More importantly, Lin Feng found that the power source of this divine cannon was not a noose such as a crossbow, but a spring! The meaning behind this is self-evident, its service life will be extended exponentially, and the most intuitive number can explain a qiΔ“:

The average firing life of an eight-ox crossbow made of high-quality ox tendon is about fifteen times. The noose had to be replaced, and in more than a fifth of the cases it was broken in five times.

With the use of springs as propulsion, the average launch life increased to fifty cycles, and more importantly. The construction of springs can be carried out non-stop all year round, and the main material of the noose of the eight-ox crossbow, the tendon of cattle, sheep and beasts, is completely imported from the north, and it is subject to natural and man-made disasters. The impact of being cut off from trade and so on.

Not only that, but the range of the Shenwu Cannon is 1.5 times that of the Eight Bull Crossbow, after using the standard reloading system of the machine man. The rate of fire is twice that of the Eight Bulls.

Lin Fengjin, as a person with a great strategic and tactical vision, of course, could see that the Shenwu Cannon already had a great advantage, so he happily paid a deposit of one million taels of silver and bought all the more than 50 Shenwu Cannons in the inventory of the Gewu Academy.

This is also due to the fact that Lu Yu led the Snake Devouring Army to be almost invincible and set off a frenzy of Northern Qi attacks, so in the interior of Northern Qi, the importance of cavalry is far more than that of the rest of the troops, so the Shenwu cannon, which is so heavy that it can only be used for defense, will almost not appear in the sight of the military bosses.

In their eyes, the price of this divine cannon is so expensive that it can arm ten cavalrymen to the teeth, and such a "toy" that can only be used for defense can be compared to ten elite cavalrymen who can attack and defend well? What are you kidding!

In fact, it is also thanks to Lin Feng's perseverance in injecting money into the Gewu Academy, otherwise, it is conceivable that the Gewu Academy will definitely invest all its energy, money and research direction in a qiΔ“ and cavalry-related aspects, then Lin Fengjin can only sigh and find that there is no support here at all.

When Lin Fengjin said that he needed the Gewu Academy to devote itself to the production of Shenwu cannons, and he still needed at least three hundred guns, the person in charge of the reception was already smiling from ear to ear. At this time, the Snow Dog disciple who was accompanying him saw this, and finally gritted his teeth, and mysteriously took Lin Fengjin to a secret area and said:

"Since Childe supports us so much, then at this time, there happens to be a trial work of a Shenwu heavy artillery, the power is very terrifying, when making this thing, the rare and incomparably Eastern Iron Mother is consumed, and every time it is launched, it is almost burning money, because it consumes mercury crystal, if it is a shooting at the limit distance, it is initially estimated that the cost of a cannon will exceed 15,000 taels of silver. ”

After Lin Fengjin heard this, he was also a little shocked, he was going to burn 15,000 taels of silver as soon as he shot out, what should he do if he missed? Wouldn't this wealth be wasted?

However, there was a faint taste of joy in his heart, because the people in this Gewu Academy were not fools, and it was impossible for them to regard themselves as fools. That means one thing, that is, the power of this blow is worth at least fifteen,000 taels of silverβ€”what a fucking power this is!

However, when he saw this Shenwu heavy cannon, he was also surprised, because Lin Fengjin felt that he was almost going back in time at this moment, and saw the small cannon in the memory of the previous life! And the appearance of this thing is also excellent, probably to highlight its preciousness, but also inlaid with gold, silver, etc. in some of the decorative parts on it, which is brilliant and bright, and looks extraordinarily dazzling, rich and domineering!

Snow Dog's disciple took Lin Fengjin to the test shooting site at this time, and when he arrived at the ground, he smiled bitterly:

"Well, Childe, our money is really limited, so we can only test fire a shot to show you, you have to understand. ”

Lin Fengjin smiled and said:

"As long as it's not just one shot. ”

Seeing this, the Snow Dog disciple hurriedly waved his hand and said:

"Of course not. I won't say anything in front of you, this Shenwu heavy cannon will be burned out as soon as it is fired, and the Dongguo Iron Mother infused in it will be lost, however, I can dare to pack a ticket, there will be absolutely no problem within a hundred cannons, as long as it is properly maintained, and even the ultimate life is two hundred cannons. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded and said:

"I see, can I test fire now?"

The Snow Dog disciple nodded, and then saw someone running forward. It was almost filled in just two or three seconds, and it was very peculiar that it seemed that two cups of unknown transparent liquid were poured into the side of the Shenwu heavy cannon, and then the snow dog asked Lin Feng to go up, signaled to Lin Fengjin, aimed the muzzle of the cannon at a stone wall in front of him, and then stepped lightly on his right foot, which was the start of the launch.

At this moment, Lin Fengjin saw three "snort" sounds from the barrel of the Shenwu heavy artillery. Immediately after that, three red dots flew out and nailed to the stone wall two or three hundred feet away, and then burst open, and the smoke and dust were billowing out. The stone walls collapsed, and a huge amount of dust shot into the sky.

When the smoke cleared, I saw that there were more than three cracks in the stone wall, and the broken stones were rolling around. It is distributed within thirty or forty zhang, and the thickness of this stone wall is at least half a foot!!

Lin Fengjin was shocked at this moment. With such a power, there is even the scattering effect of an area attack, how can it not make people feel shocked?

But soon, Lin Fengjin reacted and said seriously:

"The two wine cups you poured in just now are worth fifteen thousand taels?"

Seeing this, the Snow Dog disciple thought for a while and said:

"It should be a conventional launch just now, not a limit launch, it costs about 10,000 taels, and if you launch it at the limit, you need to replenish three cups of jade liquid, and the range can reach a thousand zhang away! Of course, the target of the launch will drop accordingly, and the interval between launches will be extended, which will cost 15,000 taels, and more importantly, its attack is not of a magical nature, so it is especially powerful on the battlefield. ”

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"What are the parameters of a conventional launch?"

The Snow Dog disciple saw the Tao of several family treasures:

"The conventional firing range is within five hundred zhang, you have already seen it Gongzi Lin, you need to wait for about half a cup of tea to launch again, and the range of extreme shooting is thousands of zhang away, and the launch interval should be extended to tea kung fu. ”

Lin Fengjin silently calculated in his heart, the effort of half a cup of tea is about five minutes, and if it is calculated in this way, it can be fired at least ten times in an hour, although this rate of fire is a little unsatisfactory, but it is also within the range of his acceptance. Therefore, Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, and then said very simply:

"You said that this Shenwu heavy cannon can be fired at least a hundred times, right?"

The Snow Dog disciple patted his chest and said:

"If you miss one time, Lin Gongzi will cut me with a knife. ”

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"Okay, as you said, three days later, come to my house to get the money, and by the way, send me fifty copies of the amount of jade liquid to be filled. ”

The Snow Dog disciple smiled bitterly and said:

"Childe, this blended jade liquid is a unique formula, there are several raw materials are extremely expensive, there is no way to buy on credit, even if the ingredients are enough, this is even more delicate work, almost every day can only get one or two copies of jade liquid"

Of course, Lin Fengjin is not the kind of miser who holds money and refuses to let go, although he knows that the quotation of the people in Gewuyuan is watery, but considering that he wants to spot it too quickly, he doesn't care at all, so he waved his hand impatiently:

"Don't bother me with these little things, I'll ask someone to send this thing, you produce it with all your might, don't have nothing to take when I come to pick up the goods! Also, when they mix the jade liquid, part of it will strengthen its explosive effect as much as possible, and part of it will strengthen its burning effect! I don't like moderation, and it is best to do the ultimate in one aspect. ”

After coming out of the Gewu Academy, Lin Fengjin also felt that many things were complicated, but in the final analysis, it was all a money word, when he came out of the academy, he saw Zhu Xi's car slowly driving out of the academy, this Zhu Zi looked very graceful, and he couldn't see any annoyance, but looking at the indignant expressions of the disciples around him, he knew that most of the things in Zhu Zi's handwriting were already final.

After seeing this scene. Lin Fengjin's heart moved, and after stopping, he went to find Min Zhen again.

At this time, Min Zhen took the snake wine and prepared to treat his family, and suddenly saw Lin Fengjin coming over, so he asked people to watch the seat and serve tea, and the relationship between Lin Fengjin and Min Zhen was also a teacher and a friend, so it seemed quite casual, so he got straight to the point:

"The matter of Zhu Zi's handwriting seems to be a foregone conclusion?"

Min Zhen smiled and said:

"The human and material evidence are all in the gambling contract, can he still turn the tables around? It's a pity that when I took it, the aura on the handbook was completely lost, otherwise, you can take a look, it's very good for yourself. Remember to come over later. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded at this time and said:

"Okay, thank you for your kindness, but I came this time to ask Mr., where is the gangster who came to deceive?"

Min Zhen smiled:

"I guess he was sent to the training office, because this person is a Jiangyang thief. Therefore, it will be transferred to the prefect of Yecheng to be detained, and after the charges are verified and the identity is verified, there will naturally be national laws to deal with it, why are you suddenly interested in this person?"

Lin Fengjin did not hide it, and said very simply:

"Master Min, you should know too. There is a red qi from the east, but some of my small industries also happen to bear the brunt, and it is when the outlaw is needed, this person knows how to advance and retreat. Knowing the gains and losses, he will actually use the thunder method, if he uses it well. That's a great help. ”

Min Zhen nodded and muttered:

"Money and property are still things outside the body after all, you can't take them too seriously, this time it is said to be a red dust catastrophe, you must be careful. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded, took a cup of tea and then said goodbye, and then asked the family to go back to pass the word, as long as it was the night of the shopkeeper in Yedu, he went to the first floor of the world to attend the banquet, at this time Lin Fengjin was also very fortunate to strip the hot potato of the world's first soup from his own industry in advance, because this place is actually losing money and making money, which is considered a non-performing asset.

Grasping this moment of effort, Lin Fengjin went to the prefect's yamen in Yecheng to "visit friends", although it is no longer the old man of the Zuo family who is in charge, but there is a way that "the official is as clear as water, and the officials are as smooth as oil", the operation of the prefect's yamen or something, is still supported by a large group of officials, but these people are passed down from generation to generation, and they will not move their nests.

These people are mixed in the officialdom, that is the most snobbish, if Lin Fengjin is unlucky and unlucky, then he must ignore him, but the fact is that Lin Fengjin's current father-in-law has risen brightly and secretly, and he has become an emperor, and he is very good at talking in front of Lu Yu, and Lin Fengjin is obviously as stable as Mount Tai after handing over the first roast in the world.

Therefore, when Lin Fengjin came to the case court Confucius (equivalent to a confidential secretary and has a certain amount of real power), he got the warmest reception, and then Lin Fengjin threw down a silver ticket of five hundred taels, and then said a few words lightly, and was soon taken into the prison by the jailer and appeared in front of the unlucky Zhang Lei.

In fact, after this lone thief recognized Lin Fengjin's Seven Kingdoms Sword, he had already sold his teammates very decisively, he originally thought that he would be able to escape if he left immediately, but the cruel facts still proved that he thought of the number one academy in the world too simply.

After Zhang Lei escaped from Liyu, he saw an ox cart driving on the opposite side, and then he didn't know why, he instinctively felt that there was a huge danger hidden in the ox cart, and even weirdly gave birth to a weak mouse and the illusion of a cat!

Fortunately, as a thief who can bend and stretch, Zhang Lei simply fled to the side, and even he who has always been arrogant feels that this is not a shameful thing, just like ordinary people instinctively cry and flee when they encounter floods, earthquakes, and fires.

But when Zhang Lei escaped half a mile towards the side path, he realized that he had made a big mistake.

Because there are so few people on this road.

In the past, the long street was bustling with scholars and vendors.

Zhang Lei immediately knew that the appearance of the ox cart before was definitely not a coincidence, what was the biggest weakness of Donglin Academy at this time?

Naturally, he was a little afraid that Zhang Lei would raise a butcher's knife and kill indiscriminately, which would not be good if it affected his own scholars.

You know, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring here, and the three of them become tigers. Even if Zhang Lei only caused the scholars of Donglin Academy to suffer a little bit of minor injury, those unscrupulous literati could go around preaching that Donglin Academy was not worthy of its name, and they could not even get rid of the thieves on their own territory, so in vain they injured the scholars who came to study

Zhang Lei immediately wanted to turn back, but the retreat was silently blocked by two people, and when he looked at it again, he already found that he was surrounded. At this time, Zhang Lei showed his ability to bend and stretch very decisively, sighed and fell to his knees, dropped his weapon, hugged his head with both hands, and tied his hands.

Because he knows that he still has a way out,

The way out is that he didn't deal with the people of Donglin Academy ruthlessly, as long as he didn't see blood, then he wouldn't want his own life, a famous family like Donglin Academy should also have a series of standards of behavior, it is impossible to kill indiscriminately, or it is impossible to kill indiscriminately without being provoked.

At the same time, Zhang Lei is also very confident that as long as he is not killed on the spot, and then shows a good attitude of cooperation, he will either be released in the end, or handed over to the government - the matter is very simple at this point, and in the past ten years of his career as a thief, Zhang Lei has also established a series of his own contacts.

I believe that soon, his deputy will bring a sum of money to check up and down, and he will regain his freedom after a month or half a year, and then stay away from this damn ghost place, if possible, Zhang Lei feels that he has even had a psychological shadow here, and he does not plan to come to Yedu again in this life.

But at this time, Zhang Lei heard the sound of the cell door opening, and then there were footsteps outside his cell, he thought it was a sign that he would have an extra cellmate, but after raising his eyes, Zhang Lei felt that his heart sank.

Because he saw Lin Fengjin's familiar face

In Zhang Lei's heart, Lin Fengjin was probably here to vent his anger, so he took a deep breath, prepared to be beaten, and began to think in his heart about how to make himself miserable, so as not to suffer too much.

However, Lin Fengjin just waved his hand to let the jailer go out, looked at him with interest for a while, and said:

"I've heard a series of expressions since you escaped, and I can see that you are a smart person, and what I like the most is to deal with smart people-let's put it this way, I think you are quite a talent, both in terms of personal strength and intelligence, so I have a crush on you-don't worry, I don't mean to say anything about your chrysanthemum. So, I'll have to ask your opinion, would you like to work for me?"

Zhang Lei opened his mouth and said in amazement:

"Childe, what are you talking about?"

Lin Fengjin seemed to have expected Zhang Lei's answer, and after laughing, he walked out, but when he was about to go out, he suddenly turned around and smiled:

"We'll meet again. ”

After Lin Fengjin went out, the muscles on Zhang Lei's face suddenly twitched and jumped, because he suddenly felt an extremely ominous feeling welling up in his heart, feeling that his dream of being released from prison seemed to be being shattered rapidly, and the most terrible thing was that he was still in prison, and there was nothing to do, so he could only silently wait for the arrangement of fate.

Zhang Lei suddenly smashed his fist on the stone wall next to him irritably, and blood flowed out of the wound on his fist.

"Hell, I'd rather he beat me up to vent his anger!!" (To be continued......
