Chapter 51: The Bronze Cannon

(In order to celebrate the lone wolf love, the two Xuanyi Daozu were promoted to the leaders of the alliance, and they have been in martial arts for thousands of years, and they have unified the rivers and lakes.) In order to reward the change, a total of 48 more will be added, this is the 30th watch of the plus, six changes a day, until the end of the change...... )

"What kind of cannon is going to be the one who is messing with him, by the way, it's a cannon......" Speaking of Bu Pengpeng, Ma Hou was in awe to the extreme.

In his opinion, after being brought back to life by Liu Shengzhi, he has Bu Pengpeng, who can create all kinds of skillful tools, and that must be the star that Liu Shengzhi beckoned. It's not good, it's a heavenly craftsman!

It's not just this centipede ship, it's the kind of gunpowder that I don't know what it is these days, and it explodes at two ends in three days, and it's also terrifyingly tight.

Liu Shengzhi waved his hand and asked this Ma Hou to do his own thing, and his own Shi Shiran came to a well-guarded compound outside the riverside city.

At this time, I saw a car pulling a cylindrical bronze cannon outside.

Liu Shengzhi's heart couldn't help jumping, and he hurriedly greeted him, just in time to see Bu Pengpeng: "This cannon has been built, so easy?"

From the beginning to the end, it was as if it only took two or three months. Built a cannon so easily?

This made Liu Shengzhi's heart really feel a little incredible.

"I know the exact recipe for all kinds of gunpowder, and this casting cannon is not much different from casting a bronze bell. The craftsmanship of this thing will not be much more complicated than that of the stepmother Wuding...... Siyang Fangzun, both in terms of casting skills and appearance, is much more difficult than artillery......"

This is okay, Liu Shengzhi couldn't help but nodded, the stepmother Wuding and Siyang Fangzun are both things of the Shang Dynasty.

"That is, it is more difficult to make an iron cannon, and it is more troublesome to make a musket. But how can you make such a smoothbore bronze cannon? But it's not that hard......"

In this regard, Bu Pengpeng is an authority. Don't forget where it came from!

"So, it was done after all. It seems that stepping into the age of firearms is not as difficult as imagined...... By the way, have you test-fired?"

"There were a few test shots. This time, I'm going to pull it to the riverside to try it......"

"Good!" Liu Shengzhi didn't know anything about technical details, but he didn't interfere.

Just follow these craftsmen to the riverside. This is a specially designed sports car, and the cannon can be fired directly from the car without even having to be put down.

Such a small cannon, but a few hundred pounds in weight, several people can push it away, which is quite convenient and fast.

"Boom...... When the artillery is fired, there is a thunderclap. Even a navy trained on the river in the distance. They were all taken aback.

Especially Ma Hou, looking at the bronze cannon from a distance, spewed out a stream of flame and black smoke, so that the cannonball shot directly out thousands of meters away and fell into the river, and the solid cannonball directly exploded a column of water.

"Shoot, shoot again...... When will this cannon be blown up......" Bu Pengpeng turned into a ruthless technical maniac.

Liu Shengzhi knew that this was a destructive test. I felt a little distressed in my heart. Thankfully, this is the smallest cannon, equivalent to an eight-pounder gun. One or two hundred pounds of copper. Otherwise, I really can't afford to consume it.

However, this kind of destructive testing is inevitable. That's how you know the limits of performance. When you really fight, you can avoid danger.

After a few shots, the artillery began to heat up. After cooling down with water, continue to fire. Cannonballs. Constantly blowing up patches of water in the river. Sounds echo from valley to valley.

Fortunately, it has been divided into a military restricted area for dozens of miles, and there is no one nearby. This is also one of the reasons why Liu Shengzhi put these things in Wudang County for research and development, instead of Xiangyang County.

"Actually, it is not very difficult to cast this cannon, and I have found many craftsmen who can cast bronze, especially bronze bells. Then groped for a while. And it was made.

It is nothing more than the injection of molten metal into a clay mold. The mold is composed of a mold and a transverse shell. The clay model is placed in a pit, and the furnace has an outlet to allow the molten iron to flow into the mold. When the casting cools, the mold is broken and the casting is taken out......"

Bu Pengpeng explained to Liu Shengzhi the method of casting bronze cannons, which is nothing more than the mold method.

Of course, although Bu Pengpeng said it lightly. But Liu Shengzhi knows a problem, many times, knowing the right way to make things will become simple.

However, let Liu Shengzhi be a complete layman. Trying to create such a bronze cannon is not a simple problem.

Therefore, he no longer cared about the specific technical details at all, but asked: "How many cannons can you build when you send out the army?"

"Ten three-inch cannons are not a problem...... Bu Pengpeng is full of confidence.

Liu Shengzhi was immediately refreshed, he could have ten cannons, at least when he entered Shu, no city would be able to stop his army!

And in this way, even if he enters Shu at the same time, as long as he has a cannon, he can still keep the possibility of Xiangyang.

Even, Liu Shengzhi finally saw the possibility of pacifying the world!

"The problem now is that there is not enough raw materials. If you want to forge more and bigger cannons, you need more copper......"

"There is copper," Liu Shengzhi sneered and waved his hand, the bronze statues in so many Buddhist temples inside and outside Xiangyang, large and small, are not the source of copper!

Grandma's, I knew that this bronze cannon was so easy to cast. You don't have to worry about your own strategy!

Too often, strategy and tactics are just limitations and technical means.

And if Liu Shengzhi's men have hundreds of artillery, they will be lined up and bombarded over. Who else is the enemy in this world?

"After the ten artillery pieces are successfully cast, we will enter Shu!" Liu Sheng made up his mind.

Thinking that he was on the cruise ship of modern time and space, he was inexplicably bombarded by the ghost ship of the Age of Discovery, but he didn't want to be in the time and space of the Six Dynasties, and his own cannon was about to open, who couldn't be bombarded at that time?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, with dozens of guards, he left Wudang and headed towards Xiangyang. This way is only less than two hundred miles, and he rested for a night on the way, and at noon on the second day, Liu Shengzhi also returned to the Thorn Mansion in Xiangyang City.

Now Liu Shengzhi is a self-proclaimed assassin of Liangzhou!

At the sound of an order, Liu Shengzhi's assassination of Shi Fu, all the important people gathered.

"Make the ......"

Although Liu Shengzhi, the assassin of Liangzhou, only claimed to be known to the outside world, Wang Zhenwei and others had already begun to call Liu Shengzhi an envoy when they saw him.

As for the implicit meaning, Liu Shengzhi slightly understood. The Wang family seems to have always been a Confucian heirloom...... (To be continued......)
