Chapter 18 Building the Cannon

The crew scattered all over the island are exhausted after a day of searching, and everyone has been waiting for the fireworks to be set off, hoping that someone will find a clue to end the endless search. www.biquge.info If you can't find it today, it's likely that you'll have to continue looking for it tomorrow if you can't find it. But after looking forward to it for a day, I couldn't expect it, so I was so happy when I saw the fireworks. Just listen to the cheers of the crew all over the island.

"Oh!"

Although Di Jun is very fast, he is not as fast as people who are close to others, but before he arrived at the center of the island, he first saw everything in the center of the island from a distance.

Through the woods, Di Jun saw a pile of logs next to the stone monument in the center of the island, which had not been available here before he left. He couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, could it be that these timbers were obtained by Tianyangyang? What did he do with so much timber? If he said that he wanted to build a house on this desert island, Di Jun would not believe it if he was killed.

"You got all this wood?" Di Jun asked, and under the logging pile, Tian Yangsheng took out a bookcase and practiced calligraphy, very leisurely.

"It took a lot of work to get it, and you have to thank me. Tian Yangsheng was still writing calligraphy, and he didn't look at Di Jun.

"Thank you, do you have a way?" Di Jun was most concerned about whether he could enter the tomb.

Tian Yangsheng held the fetus in his hand and wrote a big heavenly character, he raised his head and glanced at Di Jun, and then raised his chin and motioned for him to look at the logging pile behind him.

Di Jun didn't understand the effect of this on wood, and he was even more confused when he saw this. "You can't build a rooftop, but this wood can't build 100 meters. Timber has its own weight, and as it grows in height, it will collapse due to overwhelm of the load, so it is impossible to build an eight-meter high.

"No, have you ever heard of a cannon?" Tianyang glanced at Di Jun and continued to calligraphy.

Where the cannon, Di Jun has naturally heard of it, this is a siege equipment, also known as a catapult, a huge lever, the long end is a leather holster or a wooden basket loaded with stones, the short end is tied to dozens of ropes, when the order is given, dozens of people pull the rope at the same time, using the principle of the lever to throw the stones.

"The General Essentials of the Martial Arts has clouds, all cannons, sharp weapons in the army, and they are used in both offensive and defensive divisions. You can shoot 90 steps, although these 90 steps are 100 meters and a half, but the height is difficult to reach 100 meters. "Anyone who has ever thrown a stone knows that the length of the stone he throws is much longer than the height, and those who can throw 100 meters can never throw 100 meters high, these are two completely different concepts.

"Ninety steps? Hmph, that is a false inducement given in order to confuse the enemy's imperial court, the real mortal cannon, the firing range can reach more than three hundred steps!" Hearing Di Jun's words, Tian Yangsheng smiled coldly, but he said an amazing fact!

More than 300 steps, that is, more than 500 meters, in this way, if the cannon is slightly modified to throw high, it can easily rush to 100 meters! However, what Tianyang said and what Di Jun knew was so different that Di Jun couldn't even believe what he heard.

"More than 300 steps?!really?!"

"My Tianshi is the largest supplier of Zhao Guo's Fan Cannon, how can it be fake?" The fact that Fan Cannon is a secret of Zhao State, and it cannot be known unless it is an important minister of the imperial court. However, Tian's status in Zhao and even the world is not trivial, and the intelligence is not to mention, this cannon is designed and produced by Tian's family, so he naturally knows it well.

"Since this method is here, why don't you say it earlier?" Di Jun was a little angry in his heart, everyone was fortunate to have been searching all day, but Tian Yangsheng had already had an idea to sit here and watch them tired.

"I forgot at first, is there a problem?" Tian Yangsheng's choked Di Jun had nothing to say, but as long as he could enter the tomb, Di Jun could only endure the process.

Tian's cannon has been improved by skilled craftsmen, and the production process is naturally more complicated, and it takes more time to build, but fortunately, Tian's crew are all versatile, and they all know a little about carpenter's work in addition to sailing, and even then it will take at least half a month to build.

Half a month is not a long time, but it is not a short time, if you can successfully enter the tomb at that time, it will be worth the time to wait, but I am afraid that there will be a new situation, and it is difficult to say how much time will be spent in the tomb, so Dijun is a little anxious.

"Pipe belt, can't I build this catapult faster?"

Guan Band knew that Di Jun was in a hurry, so he replied. "My lord, if the pale heads work overtime and take turns, it will take at least ten days. In fact, the assembly is very fast, and the key is that the processing of these woods is time-consuming, and it must be done in the same way. ”

Di Jun let out a sigh of helplessness, he actually knew that this kind of craft was not in a hurry, but he couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, after all, this matter was very important, and whether he could be with the Blood Bodhisattva or not depends on this time.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, everyone quickly began to work, and Tian's guys were diligent and naturally had nothing to say. Dijun also wanted to help, but he didn't know anything about carpenter's work, so Dijun wandered around the construction site to see if there was anything he could do to help. Turning around, he couldn't find any work he could do, so he stopped next to a man who was sawing logs with a saw blade, and Dijun stood in front of him and watched quietly.

"Give me a saw, I'll help. "Di Jun has a deep cultivation, high martial arts, and the speed of sawing wood is definitely fast, as long as the processing of raw materials can be accelerated, the working hours will definitely be greatly shortened.

Cangtou wanted to say something, but because of Di Jun's identity, he still handed the saw in his hand to Di Jun. Di Jun held the hacksaw, only to see his subordinates move as fast as lightning, only to hear the saw creak and squeak quickly cutting the logs, and the wooden holes splashed, which was more than ten times faster than the cangtou!

Syllable!

However, just halfway through the sawing, the hacksaw made a crisp sound and broke!

"My lord, you sawed too fast, this saw blade can't stand it...... And you've got it all right, so leave the job to the little one. Cangtou smiled helplessly and told the truth.

Dijun did bad things with good intentions, although this wood was sawed halfway, but the saw mouth was crooked, it can be said that not only did it not help, but the people had to reprocess the log. Di Jun was a little embarrassed, no wonder he said that three hundred and sixty lines of work are the champions, these handicrafts are really not something that anyone can do, if they haven't practiced, they are afraid that Taixiao may not be able to do well.

Di Jun didn't dare to easily disturb the work of the crew, so he had to go to the tent to drink tea with Tian Yangsheng, but after only half a day, Di Jun still couldn't bear the anxiety in his heart, although he couldn't do anything, he also wanted to stare at the crew and work hard with everyone mentally.
