The most extended Aijiafang is in a test gun yard facing the hillside.

Bi Maokang and Ai Tiezhu are skillfully assembling two oblique vertical small artillery, while several generals of the Qi family army were wiping several new shells beside the wooden box.

The new type of tiger squat cannon is about to be tested. Qi Jin, the commander of the Qi family army, looked excited, and he looked eager to get the shot himself, as if he couldn't help but ask for a test shot himself. Zhu Qizhu, the prince of Zhejiang and Sichuan, stood there in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

To be honest, this new type of tiger squat cannon is not very difficult to process, it only has a thin upper and thick upper gun barrel, a gun door, and a bracket.

The barrel, a larger lathe and drilling machine, can be processed. If you can specially make a special drilling machine and a super large drilling machine, the processing speed will probably be terrible.

The gun door is also very simple. Just cast it out and hammer it, then mill the edges and corners, and then grind it with a grinder.

Not to mention the bracket, just cast it and process it casually.

This set of things is equivalent to a shell, and it is not difficult at all. The problem is that the processing of shells is too difficult.

The shell is a little better, that is, the shell is cast out with a rough shape, then drill the inner ring and grind the outer ring again and again, and it is almost done.

Mainly, the warhead is not easy to make.

He specially designed four types of warheads, one is a round cast iron solid bullet, one is a pointed cone-shaped armor-breaking bullet, one is a bursting bullet filled with iron-breaking needles, and the other is a bursting bullet filled with gunpowder.

None of these four types of warheads is easy to process.

Take the round cast iron solid bullet for example. This is not the pig iron bullet used in the past. It can be easily cast out and scraped. The outer circle must be standard round and polished smoothly. Otherwise, if you fire a shot, the precisely processed gun barrel will be scraped.

The bursting bomb with a broken iron needle inside and the bursting bomb with a gunpowder inside are even more troublesome. Not only does the outer circle need to be finely polished, but the spiral lead holes must also be processed, otherwise they will not be detonated in a time-detonated manner.

These problems are actually nothing. As long as you design a special steam machine tool, it will not be a problem to process.

The key is that these are too copper-consuming.

One gun barrel and one gun door are hundreds of kilograms of copper and shell. In order to ensure that it does not deform or explode, the thickness is more than one finger. One is more than ten kilograms of copper, as well as armor-breaking bombs, explosion bombs, and explosion bombs. For the convenience of processing, they are all copper, and each one is consumed by several kilograms of copper!

In this way, just adding forty shells to each cannon would cost hundreds of kilograms of copper, and many of them would be consumables that could not be collected after being shot.

Now, Crazy God has started mass production, steam machine tools are constantly developing and manufacturing, and steam ships from Song Yingxing are also going to be developed, and copper is used everywhere. The copper produced by a small Tongbai copper ore is not enough!

Moreover, the Tongbai Copper Mine is at risk of closing at any time.

Because the eunuchs and mine prisons were recalled by Qingliu and Donglin. Now, it’s not easy to have money. Maybe when people will send people to collect all the mines and prevent you from mining them.

He was struggling that both artillery pieces were ready, and several Qi's army could not wait to hold the shells and prepare to fire the fire.

This new type of tiger squat cannon is simply too easy to load ammunition. Loosen the screws with handles, open the gun door, stuff the shell in, then close the gun door, tighten the handle, and it's all done.

In the blink of an eye, several generals and officers of the Qi family installed two shells.

Qi Jin couldn't wait to say, "Light up."

"Shisheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshesheshes, and two round pig iron bombs flew out.

The two cannons, one is rifled and the other is not rifled. For circular shells, the difference seems not to be very big. The rifled one is about a hundred steps longer than the rifled one, and they are more than one mile away.

Immediately afterwards, there is the armor-breaking bomb.

This guy has a big difference between the rifled and the unremitting wire. The unremitting wire has a range of less than two miles. The rifled wire has a more than three miles away.

As for the specific range, all the shells have to be fired and they can only be carefully measured.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst bomb.

This guy is a bit dangerous. If he doesn't shoot out in one shot, he has to deal with it quickly, otherwise the barrel will explode.

For this reason, Zhuqizhao specially asked Bi Maokang and his friends to prepare a thick iron barrel, and it was the one with a lid. Bi Maokang also gave a careful advice to the generals and officers of the Qi family who were testing the artillery that once the shells were not fired, they must take out the shells as quickly as possible, throw them into the iron barrel, and quickly cover the lid.

Their worries seemed to be redundant. After two loud "boom" sounds, two burst bombs were fired out.

However, the leads seemed to be a little problem. The shells were still in mid-air. After two "booms", they exploded in the air.

This problem is not very big. Just try a few more times and control the length of the leads well.

Next, there is a blasting bomb.

This guy is even more dangerous. The warhead is full of compacted gunpowder. If you don’t shoot it out in one shot, you have to deal with it quickly, otherwise, everyone next to you will probably be exploded!

Fortunately, the blasting bomb was also fired, and the effect was pretty good. It was only when it penetrated into the soil layer on the hillside.

The spectacular scene of the explosion of the soil layer excited Qi Jin and almost broke down.

He couldn't help but praise: "That's great. As long as the Qi family army can equip a thousand new artillery such as this, it will be invincible."

I'm so fainted. Do you know how much copper you get for a thousand such cannons?

Zhu Qizhuo could only smile awkwardly: "General Qi, this is awkward person. We have to design special machine tools to process gun barrels and shells. Moreover, we have to conduct multiple tests and improvements. It is estimated that it will take at least one year to mass production."

In fact, it can only be achieved in a perfectly ideal state for a year, that is, without any surprises.

He didn't expect that an accident happened not long after the first shot test.

On that day, hundreds of young and strong young men in Huang Weixian's nest in Neixiang were making pig iron and braised copper. A large group of yamen runners suddenly rushed into the smelting ground and shouted, "Hurry up, put out the fire, don't move, be honest!"

Immediately afterwards, they began to tie people up.

Hundreds of young and strong men were tied up for no reason. After a while, Huang Weixian, who was settled in the yard not far away, was tied up.

At this time, Fang Kezhuang, who was full of pride, ran in from outside, laughed proudly, "Hahaha, this time, it was finally the stolen goods and captured it. Zhejiang Crazy King, you are done, bribe the mine supervisor to steal coal mines, iron ore, copper mines, privately smelting iron, privately smelting copper, anything is enough for you to guard the tomb of Fengyang!"

It turned out that after his failure last time, he learned from his mistakes and soon discovered that he had been fooled by the Crazy King of Zhejiang and Sichuan again.

Otherwise, that guy would have fallen into such a miserable state, how could he not let a single fart be!

This time, when he heard that someone in Nanyang was stealing coal mines, iron ore, copper ore, smelting iron and copper, he guessed that these were definitely related to the Crazy King of Zhejiang and Sichuan, otherwise, no one had such courage and no one had such great ability.

So, he quietly brought a large group of yamen run from the capital to Nanyang. No one was notified or went to Yunyang, and he caught Huang Weixian in one go!

He guessed correctly, these were all done by the Crazy King of Zhejiang and Sichuan.

Unfortunately, he guessed a little wrong.

Will Huang Weixian be able to recruit?

Do those young men know how to recruit?

It's impossible to get it.
