"A lot of scholars even wanted to come to see what our humble room looked like. The wives and concubines were also very happy for their husbands. Even the old man was happy for two days, and his mother was so happy that she couldn't stop talking: "Okay, it's our handsome man, and she's just a small courtyard. She can't make such a tribute. Master, you can show off your skills the other day? Just make our house a famous house."

My mother almost choked the tea. Can this thing be made by randomly? My mother is obviously difficult. Fortunately, my mother did not plan to make the old man show off. I am glad that my mother can still remain rational and did not ask me to decorate my new yard in the style of "The Inscription on the Humble Room". Otherwise, in the cold winter, it would be strange if I didn't freeze the north wind blowing in from the door blocked by the thin curtain to death.

Just after my twins were full month old, Uncle Li appointed Wei Zheng as the crown prince's grand tutor and assisted the crown prince to show the world. He did not have the intention of destruction and establishment, which made Wei Wangtai very disappointed for a while. In September, the autumn was strong and the remaining flames had not dissipated. The sky still felt the power of Qiu Laohu. Two children were added to the family, which increased a lot of happiness and worries. Troubles were on the tutelage. When I stared at Zhong Hua and handed it to my hands, I really couldn't be able to get happy.

What Zhong Hua gave me was a large stack of drawings of siege equipment. I didn't know if I didn't know if I didn't expect that the ancient siege equipment was so abundant and the number was so numerous. It took me a whole morning to finish reading it. I was dizzy and the sky was dark. There were eight types of siege vehicles alone, such as building cars, rushing cars, box cars, hook cars, toad cars, city climbing cars, and nest cars. Each has its own uses and the division of labor is very clear. But I have never seen these things in historical dramas. After thinking about it carefully, it should be because the producers make money in the picture. In order to reduce costs, they only had some cavalry to rush, infantry fight, and escape through the test. It was so infuriating that I could only be stunned when I looked at these patterns. I had never seen the real thing. How did you ask me to improve it? Besides, the above explanation was all classical Chinese, and it would not make people live.

"Sir, these are all design drawings for our siege equipment sent by Lord Yan. I really don't know where to start, so I will give you some advice." Zhong Hua saw that my expression was not very good, so he quickly smiled beside him.

I gave him a helpless smile: "Mr. Zhong, is this the only one who submitted it to the Wuhan Research Institute by the Minister of Works?"—

"Yes. How dare you deceive Lord." Zhong Hua thought I was questioning his hiding, so he quickly argued. I waved my hand at Zhong Hua with a smile: "Master Zhong, I don't mean that. Lord Zhong, you can't think of any design improvement method. There is a reason. How to say it? We didn't pay attention to this matter at that time and forgot to ask Lord Yan for some samples. That is, these siege equipment are used to demonstrate and observe. What can we do with just looking at this pattern? Without real objects and soldiers' operations, how do we know its advantages and disadvantages? How do we find a way to improve it? We are doing academic research, not talking about military wars on paper. But, among these equipment, I think that those who are really useful are only one or two."

Zhong Hua didn't know how to speak, maybe he thought I was insulting the crystallization of his ancestors' wisdom. However, what I said also has my truth.

There are many places to improve. I have been in later generations for so many years and so many ancient war blockbusters, at least I know what to do. With my knowledge, at least I know how to transform those backward standard equipment. But the problem is that many things are not needed at all. Siege battles are not as difficult as everyone thinks. Of course, before gunpowder appears, it is indeed a hard work to conquer a big city built with hard stones. And it is a matter of whether it is successful or not. Moreover, wasting so much manpower and material resources to create these siege equipment is not very effective. It is better to think of a way to make the powerful gunpowder play a role in siege battles.

Of course, some powerful and easy-to-operate auxiliary siege equipment are still quite necessary, such as the Xiangyang cannon, commonly known as the Huihua cannon, the famous crossbow cannon in the history of ancient Western wars, as well as the bed crossbows in our China, etc. These are the most powerful long-range weapons before the arrival of the Firearm Age.

If gunpowder can achieve great effect in siege, for the enlightened and open Tang Dynasty, which is of great importance to martial arts, it is no less than a powerful victory weapon. Nowadays, craftsmen are still constantly improving the proportion of gunpowder, calculating the explosive power of each formula of gunpowder.

"Let's do this, Lord Zhong, go find Yan Shangshu, and we only need some long-range equipment, such as strong crossbows, crossbow chariots, crossbow cannons, and revive cannons. In short, all large-scale long-range weapons will be used to make some samples.

"Sir Fang, this is not suitable. Lord Yan asked us to make siege equipment. Most of the things you said are for defending the city. I have never heard of equipment like Huihui cannons." Zhong Hua is also a relatively proficient in equipment in the Ministry of Works. He has never heard of it. In other words, these equipment have probably not appeared at this time.

If not, it does not mean that we cannot do it. Invention and creation. As long as we have a goal and an idea, there will always be a day of success. If it really doesn't work, we will just play gasoline mortars. That's our innovative invention. By the way, that's it.

"Sir, Lord Fang, what are you doing again? Could it be that sir, have you come up with a good idea?" Zhong Hua asked carefully at me who was laughing happily and laughing.

"Well, it's right, you've seen the power of our gunpowder?" I focused my attention on Zhong Hua and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry about this, you can get all the large ranged weapons first. When I see if there are any improvements in the usage method, I just have an idea for the moment, and it's not yet mature. Well, go quickly, I'm still waiting for your good news."

Zhong Hua hurriedly took the order and I wandered around the office. I have seen gasoline barrel mortars in documentaries and domestic war blockbusters. I don’t know how many times I have seen them in the inspiration for pride of our national wisdom. I am so powerful that even gasoline barrels can be made into long-range attack equipment. Well, this must be tested. First, we must determine the appearance of the gasoline barrel?

Touch your chin and turn it into a gasoline barrel. I'm not a fool, and others are all fools. What if I ask why I call a gasoline barrel? Forget it, let's change the name, let's just design a bronze barrel. After all, the extension of bronze is much better than the current iron tools.

Do it as soon as you say it. Anyway, gunpowder was originally invented by our nation, so why can't it be used first? I remember someone said that the confrontation between farming nations and nomadic peoples did not undergo a fundamental change until the 18th century. It was because the firearms used in war far exceeded the lethality of bows and arrows and other cold weapons, which gradually showed the great power of civilization, and the history of backward nations for advanced nations is gone forever.

The suffering of the Chinese nation is always inseparable from the invasion of nomadic peoples. No one can deny this. However, I am an excellent time traveler who has adapted to the superiority of the Tang Dynasty imperialism, feudalism, and great power chauvinism. I do not want my descendants to continue to be enslaved by these barbaric nations. Since I understand these principles, I should do something, not only for my own descendants, but also for my own nation, to make the contribution I deserve as a time traveler.

The grenade setting project has been almost completed. This thing is not only a good weapon for infantry combat, but also a fine product for defending the city. The emergence of artillery can become a powerful weapon for the Tang Dynasty's military forces to deal with foreign enemies.

As for shells, to be honest, I hate solid shells. In addition to being scary, this thing is really uncompromising. It is not just as huge, almost exaggerated crossbow arrows, clustered like giant axes. I think it feels like sweat on my back.

Three days later, a large number of long-range weapons were unveiled in the Military Academy. In fact, they were all kinds of bed crossbows and thunderbolts. The first thing was that they had a long range, but the bare crossbows and waste time and manpower needed to be improved. As for the thunderbolt, they should be the predecessor of the Huihui cannon. At least in my eyes, the range and weight of the fire object were much worse than the funeral.

We have seen Hui Hui Cannon in many ancient war films, especially a long-range attack device mentioned many times in ancient war blockbusters in the West. Because the production and improvement of artillery will not take a short time, but it doesn't matter. It is justified to improve these original equipment first. Moreover, various powerful explosives such as grenades can also use these equipment to eject.
