The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1655 Empowerment
It was already half an hour after these disaster relief pioneers left the hall.

Because the grain and grass from Boni, Yueli Dynasty and other places have not been delivered at this moment, there is no major military report on the front line, and the disaster relief work has stabilized, so Zhao Dongting did not continue to discuss matters with the ministers in the hall.After announcing the dispersal of the court, he went to the workshop of the Military Science Department.

Ever since he returned to Hengyang and beheaded Xu Huiyuan, he has never been out of the palace.

In the past, he would occasionally take his daughters out of the palace to relax, but these days, he spent most of his time in the workshop of the Military Science Department.

Li Goudan's science and technology department has not studied anything else these days.

Including Li Goudan, the ten companions who accompanied him to study knowledge in Zangshuge, and many skilled craftsmen summoned by Zhao Dongting from all over the country, all stayed in the workshop of the Military Science Department.

Although the frontier had an advantage, the loss of those soldiers still made Zhao Dongting quite heartbroken.

And the unfathomable old eunuch in the Yuan Dynasty is always a variable.

This made Zhao Dongting more eager to develop the red cannon.

Only in this way can it be ensured that the Song Dynasty can destroy the Yuan Dynasty.

Fortunately, all the women also understood and supported him. No one complained these days, but they showed meticulous care to Zhao Dongting.

When I went to the workshop of the Military Science Department, it seemed to be in full swing.

There were dozens of blacksmiths outside alone, all of them with open arms and sweating profusely.

From time to time, someone would run out with blueprints.

The red-clothed cannon needed a lot of parts, and Zhao Dongting encountered a bottleneck in the force-generating device.It is necessary to continue to experiment before it is possible to get out the force generating device.

Compared with the power-generating device of the red-clothed cannon, the half-throwing grenade he made before can only be regarded as a child's play.

How far can a grenadier hit?

The maximum kilometer is the extreme, and it should be 700 meters away normally.

According to Zhao Dongting's knowledge, the effective range of the earliest red cannons was only 500 meters, and the maximum range could reach [-] kilometers.

Of course it didn't satisfy him.

What he wants to develop is a cannon that far exceeds the grenadier in terms of power and range.

Only in this way can we be invincible.

At least it must be comparable to the improved red cannon, with an effective range of 500 meters and a maximum range of 500 meters.

And it’s better not to be as bulky as the red cannon. It weighs one ton or two tons at every turn. It will take a lot of manpower, material resources and time to transport it to the front line.

Open the door and walk into one of the rooms.

This room is where Zhao Dongting conducts research in person. Apart from him, only Li Goudan and other people involved in research and development can enter.

The room was equally lively.

Li Goudan and many skilled craftsmen from all over the world are busy.

They were either drawing pictures by themselves or discussing something.

Zhao Dongting walked in, although someone saw him, but no one saluted him.

This is an order issued by Zhao Dongting himself, saying that when he comes to the workshop, he is just one of the craftsmen, so that people don't have to waste time and interrupt their thoughts to salute him.

Gradually everyone got used to it.

Zhao Dongting walked lightly behind Li Goudan.

Li Goudan was drawing something on the paper, so engrossed that he didn't even notice that Zhao Dongting was walking behind him.

Zhao Dongting craned his neck to look at Li Goudan's drawings, and gradually became engrossed.

After about a few minutes, a light flashed in his eyes.

The bomb launcher he designed before was actually based on a rather backward technology, so it cannot be regarded as a real bomb launcher.Its force generating device takes elastic force as the main force.

With the current level of technology, it is already the limit to be able to shoot the shells hundreds of meters away through elastic force.

This is also the reason why Zhao Dongting was unable to conquer the red cannon before.

He got his way in that dead end.

He has always been thinking about how to develop a device with greater elasticity, but he has never thought about using other forces to launch cannonballs.

Now looking at the drawings drawn by Li Goudan, he suddenly realized.More precisely, recalling something.

Li Goudan drew dense ripples on the force device he designed. It seems that he wants to use more spring-like things.

This is not realistic.

Because it is not easy to press down these springs, and it is even more difficult to concentrate the elastic force of these springs.

But these ripples are the inspiration for Zhao Dongting.

air pressure!

He recalled the word.

The previous mortars used air pressure to launch!

With the air pressure generated by the combustion of the propellant, the shell is pushed out of the barrel!
And to ignite the propellant, you only need to set the impact pin.This is not difficult.

"Air pressure!"

"Air pressure!"

Zhao Dongting gradually beamed with joy, and began to mutter.Then, under the suspicious eyes of the people around him, he quickly started to write and draw with a pen.

This is the real cannon launcher.

He secretly scolded himself for being so stupid that he hadn't recalled this for such a long time.

As everyone knows, people will be affected by the environment and change.

As he stayed longer and longer in this era, he had a lot of advanced knowledge in his mind, which was gradually forgotten by him.

After a while, a complete blueprint was formed under Zhao Dongting's hands.

"quick!"

He handed the drawing to Li Goudan next to him, and said, "Let the craftsmen outside quickly make this thing out!"

His face was still full of excitement.

When Li Goudan realized something, he was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly ran outside.

That night, the sound of blacksmithing in the workshop of the Ministry of Military Science and Technology never stopped.

Zhao Dongting went back to the bedroom, but it is said that the blacksmiths in the workshop were busy all night.And it was exciting until dawn.

And in Zhao Dongting's bedroom, Le Chan and Le Wu sisters were also tossed and broken.

It is true that people are refreshed on happy occasions.

Zhao Dongting was in Le Chan's room in the first half of the night, tossing Le Chan until he couldn't do it, and then rushed to Le Wu's room in the second half of the night, and the same was true.

But in the morning, he was still refreshed.Get up early and start practicing swordsmanship and sword intent on the bamboo sea.

He had a hunch that there should be nothing wrong with the force-generating device he recalled recently.The Red Cannon may be available soon.

By then, this will surely become a nightmare for the Yuan Dynasty.

……

Shandong East Road.

At this time, seven days had passed since Huang Fu went to Mizhou Zhucheng to meet Liu Hongyi.

Of course he has returned to Juzhou.

And all the soldiers of the Zhenguo Military Region under Liu Hongyi's command were able to rush to Zhucheng to join him.

In the army, Gao Xing, Lu Guang, Yin Yongning and other generals were all present.

For a time, [-] generals from the Zhen Guo Military Region gathered in Zhucheng.
