Although the cannonballs did not directly hit the hull, the shock wave caused by the cannon hitting the water made the ship shake from side to side. The key is that the cannonballs continued to fall, which was terrifying.

Most of the people on this ship are Yan Song and his son, and many of them are civil servants. To be honest, they came here deliberately to cause trouble. Now they are so frightened by the artillery that they are screaming, and some people even said angrily: "This Yang Kai wants to

What are you doing, are you going to kill me?"

"Have someone tell him to stop!"

"quick!"

…

Before he finished speaking, there was a click, and a shell from the artillery hit the mast of the ship directly. The mast was originally made of wood, how could it be able to hold it, and it crashed down instantly. Where were the officials on the ship at this moment?

There is no trace of official demeanor, everyone is dodging left and right, in a state of confusion.

"Sir, is that enough? This ship suddenly broke in, which is quite scary."

Yu Lang said next to him.

Zhao Yuandao: "How can it be enough? We have set up warnings at sea, and there are people from Jin Yiwei guarding them. They dare to break in. Since they don't take us seriously, then let them see it."

Look at the power of our weapons, remember, if you aim, you can’t blow up the ship, just hit me!”

Then the rows of artillery pieces roared.

Because the sail was damaged, the ship seemed to be parked on the sea. The shells fell one after another around the ship, frightening the officials on the ship, fearing that the shells would deflect and hit directly.

Come on the boat.

Yan Shifan, who was originally so domineering, was mute at this moment. No matter how much he shouted at such a long distance, the other side couldn't hear him, not to mention the roaring sound of cannons.

The bombardment didn't last long, and Zhao Yuan felt that it was about the same. He waved his hand and ordered the people to stop, saying: "Let me go and drag that ship back to me. It's so audacious to break into an important military area without permission."

The dock here immediately went to get two boats, and soon the boat was towed back. Wang Ying, who was responsible for the infield defense, immediately led his people to surround the boat.

The adults on the boat breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, but they looked extremely embarrassed. Their clothes had been soaked by the seawater splashed by the shells, and they looked extremely embarrassed.

With no more fear for his life, Yan Shifan finally no longer had to lie on the boat in embarrassment, and regardless of being wet, he said angrily: "Yang Kai, come out here!"

Zhao Yuan slowly squeezed out of the crowd, looked Yan Shifan up and down, and said in surprise: "It turns out to be Mr. Yan, why are you on this boat?"

Yan Shifan said: "What do you mean we are on this ship? Since you know that we are on this ship, why do you still fire the cannon? Do you want to kill me and all the adults?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Master Yan, what you said is wrong. I really didn't know you were on this ship. No one informed me before you came by ship. Besides, today we are testing artillery, so that area

The sea area has been passed directly by fishing boats, and we have also arranged for Jinyiwei people to guard it."

Yu Lang whispered in Zhao Yuan's ear at this time, and Zhao Yuan suddenly understood. He turned around, looked at Yan Shifan, his face darkened, and said: "Master Yan, if you want to visit privately, you will want to choose a safer method in the future.

, people from my Jin Yiwei came to report just now that they have intercepted the ship of your lords at sea, and have told your lords that there will be a weapons test ahead of you today, and no one is allowed to get close! My lord, you don't listen, you force your way in,

Entering our artillery test area, and unfortunately, in the same area, we arranged a ship as a target ship, which is the target of the artillery. Because the target ship was difficult to find, we deliberately did not aim and shoot.

Aim, otherwise, Lord Yan and all the other lords will now become innocent souls underwater."

Yan Shifan's face darkened and he said, "You mean this is all my own fault?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Isn't it? Your Excellency was ordered to come to inspect, so just take the main road. I won't be secretive. You have to take the water route on your own? And you didn't listen to the soldiers' warning and acted arbitrarily. Isn't it strange?

Is this my officer? If today’s artillery is concentrated on the ship, Mr. Yan, you will not be able to escape the blame!"

Yan Shifan said angrily: "You..."

Zhao Yuan cupped his hands and said: "I will report today's matter to the Emperor immediately. I will ask the Emperor to come and make a decision on the merits of the matter."

After saying that, he looked at the other wet adults and said: "My lords, next time you come for inspection, please take the main road and go through inspection before entering. In addition, it is best not to wear plain clothes. This area has now been transformed into

In the military area, any unauthorized entry will be regarded as an act of spying by the enemy, and the soldiers can directly execute the spies to ensure that secrets are not leaked!"

Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. Yan Shifan sneered and said: "Military secrets? You have been working here for almost two months and spent a lot of money. I would like to know what secrets you have researched here."

Zhao Yuandao: "Well, since Mr. Yan doesn't believe it, come here and drag this ship back to its original position, so that you can see what chance they had of surviving just now!"

Then he looked at Yan Shifan and others and said: "My lords, please!"

Zhao Yuan led a group of people towards the artillery test area. As for the ship, it was towed to the same place again. The artillery operator was also ready at this moment.

Zhao Yuan ignored those officials and said: "Aim at those ships and blow them over."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers immediately aimed and fired. With a loud roar, the shells flew towards the ship. In an instant, broken wood flew across the ship, and all the artillery had been concentrated on the ship.

As they approached, the soldiers opened the cannon and skillfully loaded the projectiles from the back with gunpowder still contained in the paper bag. They closed the cannon, inserted the fuse from above, and ignited it. Amidst the loud noise, the distant hull was hit again.

.

Among these officials were not only civilian officials, but also military generals. Seeing the different loading methods of the soldiers, their eyes widened immediately.

After three rounds of artillery, the ship in front of them was already dilapidated. At this time, the artillery stopped firing, and the soldiers rolled out a small car. This small car was very strange. There was a cart underneath, and a cart was placed on top of the cart.

The box is nearly a foot long, and there are some handles around the box.

When these officials were curious about what time this was, Mr. Liu personally went into battle, aimed at the ship not far away, and shouted: "Light the fire!"

As the fuse burned in, a flame suddenly appeared from behind the box above. As it approached, a swishing sound kept sounding. Several strange things flew out of the box, with long flames spraying from the tail.

The thick smoke went straight towards the ship.

"Boom boom...!"

The moment it hit the ship, an explosion immediately occurred. Although the explosion was not loud, it began to ignite the ship. Soon, the entire ship turned into a blazing torch.

After the design was completed, the soldier in charge of loading next to him immediately opened a wooden box, quickly took out the single wing and seal from the inside and installed it on the missile body. He immediately pushed it from behind, and the entire missile body was loaded into the guide rail.

Among them, the next step is to pull out the leads, connect the leads together in series, and then ignite and launch, the speed is very fast.

After two rounds of shooting, Zhao Yuan looked at Yan Shifan and others and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"

"Senhu-sama!"

A military general came out, pointed at the artillery and asked, "What kind of artillery is this?"

Zhao Yuan nodded towards Mr. Liu, who said: "Sir, this artillery is a rear-loading artillery developed by someone. It adopts the method of rear-loading ammunition. The gunpowder is the first to be packaged in oil paper, and its speed is faster than that of the Shenji Camp.

The speed of the artillery used must be at least half faster! In addition, this artillery now uses a barrel and we are improving it. It is expected to be about half lighter without losing power. Besides, this is just a prototype gun, just

In order to test the speed and tightness of the post-charge, etc., according to your requirements, before this artillery can be officially produced, it must be able to fire normally without being affected even in rainy days."

"How is it possible that a cannon can be fired in rainy days? Everyone knows that gunpowder cannot be used when it gets wet."

Yan Shifan sneered at the person next to him.

Zhao Yuandao: "Everyone knows, but Mr. Yan also said that gunpowder cannot be used after it gets wet. The prerequisite is that the gunpowder gets wet. If the gunpowder does not get wet, it will naturally be usable. And there is a way to keep the gunpowder from getting wet.

There are many kinds. Mr. Yan is used to reading about fresh food, so it’s natural that he doesn’t know about it.”

Yan Shifan said: "You mean I am ignorant?"

Zhao Yuandao: "Master Yan knows everything in the world too late. If you don't know, it is ignorance. I am the same. And how to solve this problem depends on everyone's efforts. And our goal is

Making sharp weapons can make soldiers invincible when facing the enemy, and can also greatly reduce losses, instead of standing behind and shouting!'

Facing Yan Shifan, Zhao Yuan was not polite at all, which made Yan Shifan very angry. The key was that he had no way to deal with it now, which made Yan Shifan feel even more powerless.

The general who asked the question before seemed to think that it was not an option for the two of them to continue the quarrel, so he asked again: "Master Yang, what kind of weapon is this? Why does it seem like you have seen it before?"

Zhao Yuandao: "You may have seen this kind of weapon before, and what we have to do is to improve it by enlarging the projectile body, so that the range can be increased, except that the front is filled with gunpowder, and the outside of the gunpowder is equipped with steel balls, etc.

Wait, after such an explosion, the steel balls will fly around, thus achieving the effect of killing the enemy, and the more powerful the enemy, the greater the killing power. In addition, this kind of ammunition is loaded with nine rounds at a time, and can be fired together or one by one.

In addition, General, please see that when we are making the missile body, single wing, and fuze, they are assembled separately. This is also to ensure the safety of transportation. It can be put into use after being assembled before the war begins. It is also very simple, and soldiers only need to learn a little bit.

"

Having said this, Zhao Yuan pointed to the box used for launching rockets and said: "This is the guide rail used to launch rockets. You can also think of it as a cannon. The key to this kind of cannon is that it now has nine barrels.

It can fire nine at the same time, or it can be disassembled and used for a single shot. Mr. Liu..."

Mr. Liu nodded and stepped forward in person. He grabbed one of them and pushed forward. As soon as he pulled, the barrel was slowly taken out. Then he removed the baffle on the barrel. A soldier immediately

He inserted a loaded rocket from behind and ignited the fuse. Immediately after hearing a whooshing sound, the rocket flew out, flew into the air, and exploded into a ball of fire with a popping sound.

This is equivalent to the most primitive rocket launcher. Because there is no electronic ignition and other devices, it can only be ignited by the cooperation of another soldier.

The general next to him was stunned and said in surprise: 'If this is the case, doesn't this mean that each soldier can have one artillery piece?'

Zhao Yuandao: "I haven't made one for each person yet. After all, the price of producing these bows is much more expensive than ordinary bows, and the production efficiency is also very important. However, it can be used as a good support weapon and is very good to damage the enemy's military morale.

"

As the saying goes, a cannon is worth ten thousand taels of gold. The more advanced the weapon, the more expensive it is. For example, with the current financial resources of the Ming Dynasty, they may not be able to afford the most advanced warship in hundreds of years.

.

Therefore, whether it is rockets or artillery, large-scale production requires a lot of money. It is impossible to equip all the teams. We can only equip the teams with greater conflict and then use them as support weapons. There is one exception.

On the other hand, artillery is still a solid shell, and its lethality to enemy soldiers is very limited, and its role is more of a deterrent.

Hearing what Zhao Yuan said, the general felt a little pity and said: "It would be great if we could equip them in large quantities."

Yan Shifan snorted coldly and said: "A large amount of equipment, what's the point of it? After I return, I will report it to the Holy One and increase the manpower to produce it."

Zhao Yuandao: "In addition to these, led by Li Yi, they are currently developing a firecracker. If this firecracker is developed, it will be equipped with thousands of people, coupled with artillery and rockets, to eliminate Japanese pirates along the coast.

It's a difficult matter. If you are interested, you can go directly to Li Yi and ask, but there is one thing. Please keep what you saw today a secret and do not let it out."

Then he looked at the other adults and said: "Since you are here, you can visit here on your own. We are mainly engaged in research and development here, and everything you see is confidential! Please!"

After experiencing the danger just now and seeing the power of these weapons with their own eyes, these ten people have become very interested in the mysterious place in front of them. After hearing this, they all walked towards you inside. This made Yan Shifan somewhat embarrassed. He
Chapter completed!
