My father is Yuan Shu?But I want to be a Cao thief

Chapter 421
"Is it finally done?"

Zhuge Liang rubbed a gun barrel with his palm. It was made of steel. This is the mortar he made. Using the various basic theories that Chu Feng taught him, he finally researched this thing.

Although the principle is simple, it still failed many times back and forth, mainly due to failures in various aspects of accuracy. This time it was finally a little better, and the final experiment was short.

If this thing is just basic theory, it will definitely not work. It is mainly a variety of boring and milling machines. Without a lathe, it may not be able to produce precision equipment, and the most important thing is shells.

On the one hand, the firing pin at the tail of the shell forms a primer, which can then be used to form a propulsion launch.The head adopts the mode of hitting the firing pin, and it can be detonated when it touches the ground.

Then the impact force of the shell and the explosion of shrapnel form the lethality. This thing is not easy to manufacture. Zhuge Liang has also failed many times before and after, and the main manufacturing difficulty is relatively high.

Temporary mass production is still relatively difficult, and the estimate must be correct, and then mass production will be accelerated according to the allocation.

"Go, try!"

"Handle with care, you must handle with care." Zhuge Liang told a group of students that this thing is very dangerous, and repeated experiments have caused many people to be injured.

Even Zhuge Liang himself accidentally detonated the explosion once, and Zhuge Liang fainted from the direct explosion, and his ears were turned away, and it took a long time for him to return to normal. Fortunately, he was not injured by the shell at that time.

"No!" Several students nodded in response.

Immediately, Zhuge Liang took a few students out of the city and specially set up some carriages. Although the people in the city were a little panicked and talked about the war along the way, they were not too flustered.

There were fewer merchants in the city than before, probably because they were worried about the war and did not dare to trade normally, and the hawkers were a little less lively, except that some snacks were not bad.

At the gate of the city, the guards guarded the city strictly.

Zhuge Liang stepped forward, showed his token, and said in a deep voice, "Leave the city!"

"Let go!" Seeing the token, the guards immediately nodded and shouted to the soldiers behind them.

Outside the city, there is a special experimental site.

Zhuge Liang led a group of people straight to this place.

The experimental site is full of post-experimental gun pits, scorched earth, and special people are guarding here. Zhuge Liang immediately asked people to remove the things on the car.

"Kong Ming, Kong Ming!"

As soon as Zhuge Liang arrived, he heard someone shouting from behind.

I saw Qiao Rui coming with a group of soldiers on horseback, with a smile on his face, Qiao Rui knew what Zhuge Liang was doing, and now that the frontline battles were tight, he kept looking forward to the success of Zhuge Liang's research.

You know, he visited a few times earlier, and although he failed, he thinks this thing works, and it might be the key to turning the tide of the battle!
After all, his daughter is the lord of Chu Feng's harem, and there is also the baby. As the father-in-law, he must support Chu Feng. As long as Chu Feng can succeed, his Qiao family will surely rise.

Especially Chu Fengxiong's talent is rough, he feels that there is something to be said for it.

"General Qiao!" Zhuge Liang nodded.

"Kong Ming, I heard from the people below that you are ready again, do you have confidence this time?" Qiao Rui looked at Zhuge Liang with some expectation.

"Last time, the range, impact, delayed explosion and other errors have all been repaired, and it should be successful!" Zhuge nodded, not sure, and could only say that this time the chance was greater.

"Then try it?" Qiao Rui couldn't wait!
"Fire the gun!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand, and several students immediately stepped forward to compact some ground, then put down the base, a large piece of steel, and put the gun barrel on it, with two brackets under it.

It didn't work for a moment, and the mortar was set up.

Zhuge Liang's eyes were also somewhat excited, and he hoped that there would be no accidents this time. Before, there was an accident with either the gun barrel or the shell. Chu Feng left all his expectations to him.

"Twelve o'clock direction, [-] paces, single shot, aim!"

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, several students adjusted quickly, adjusting according to the distance given by Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang waited for a few students to finish, then stepped forward and closed one eye, and then gave a thumbs up. This was taught by Chu Feng. In Chu Feng's words, the principle of this thing is called a trigonometric function.

Use the right eye to look at the thumb and the end point, and then use the left eye to look at the thumb and the end point. The difference in the distance between the two is multiplied by ten, which is approximately equal to the distance between the two. Zhuge Liang didn’t believe this thing at first.
I tested it a few times later, and found that the thief is so accurate, the error is only one or two steps.

"almost!"

Zhuge nodded, thinking that this distance is not bad.

Looking at the cannon barrel, his mood was trembling and excited, and he took a few steps back, Zhuge Liang shouted: "Single shot, bombardment!"

I saw the flag bearer raise the red flag, then shouted three two one, and immediately the red flag fell, and the shells fell along the bore, and then only heard a tom, and they were fired.

Qiao Rui, Zhuge Liang, and everyone else looked forward with anticipation. If this thing can be realized, they will create a precedent in history.

"boom!"

When the shell fell and the firing pin landed, the internal gunpowder was triggered in an instant. There was only a bang, and there was an explosion sound, causing a piece of sand, and the surrounding dummies trembled.

"It's done, it's done?" Qiao Rui's voice was trembling with excitement, good guy, Zhuge Liang really made this thing?

Although he wasn't sure if it would succeed, but looking at the sound of the explosion in the distance and the smoke and dust it stirred up, it was likely to succeed this time. One was that it hit the expected position,
One is instant detonation, and these two points have completed the breakthrough.

"Should, it should be done!" Zhuge Liang was more excited than anyone else, and immediately rushed over with his robes in his hands. This time, if it is going to be successful, he will develop something that transcends the times.

It's too easy for this thing to turn the tide of battle.

Please, the strike area is large, the lethality is strong, and it is a deterrent to war horses. The key point is that the people on the opposite side have never seen it. Once all kinds of combinations are made, the frontline battle situation can be reversed in an instant.

Qiao Rui also rushed over there excitedly, following him, this is an epoch-making thing, you know, the distance of [-] steps, this distance is enough to hit even a catapult,
But this small iron pipe can be done, and it is light. Let alone unify the big man in the future, even if it is punched out, it will be normal!
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became!
It is said that the specifications of this kind of mortar can reach a maximum range of seven to eight hundred steps, and the range of seven to eight hundred steps, but it takes a long time for cavalry to charge, which can completely reduce the dimensionality of strikes.

A group of people, panting, ran to the shooting position just now.

I saw black smoke rising from a bomb crater, and the surrounding area was cut short by the blast, and the dummies arranged in the distance were covered in densely packed shrapnel. To bleed to death.

"Okay, what a lethal force!"

Looking at the shrapnel piercing through the dummy, Qiao Rui couldn't help gasping, and shouted excitedly.

"Kong Ming, it's done, it's really done, with this thing, let alone a million coalition troops, even tens of millions can easily defeat it!" Qiao Rui was excited. This thing can already form a dimension-reducing blow to cavalry and infantry.

Even if you are huddled in the city, if you use this thing with explosives, isn't any city just like tofu?
Zhuge Liang also nodded happily, it's done, it's finally done, he finally lived up to Chu Feng's expectations, he finally got it out, shouldn't it be too late?
"Haha, it's done, we succeeded!"

"Such a range, such a power, God bless my lord."

"I suddenly wanted to see the fear of those bandit soldiers being bombed by our mortars. I really wanted to see it with my own eyes."

"That's right, I want to see it too, and let them know that those who go south will be killed!"

For a moment, Zhuge Liang's students around shouted excitedly and waved their fists. This incident was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for them and gave them enough confidence.

"Quick, again, try two more rounds."

Zhuge Liang was not overwhelmed by the joy, and immediately urged, this thing can't be watched just once, but this time is very important, which laid the foundation for the success of all research.

Everyone ran back excitedly. Although it was winter, they were out of breath as they ran back and forth, and countless white mist came out.

Then, several people operated skillfully.

A cannonball is placed in front of the bore, waiting for the flag to fall.

Under the eyes of everyone expecting, the first shot tested the bombing accuracy of the reverse slope. Maybe the calibration effect was a bit poor, and the reverse slope could not be hit, but another explosion really excited everyone.

"Again, try again, try the one with the maximum range!"

Zhuge Liang urged again, still excited, and the second shot was also good. Although it failed to hit the target accurately, the explosion was real. After all, this thing still needs to be practiced.

In Chu Feng's words, they might be equipped with artillery in the future!

Artillery does not mean that one person can do it. Just like archers, they rely on shooting arrows to form a feeling, and then they can shoot well. Although there are various aiming methods, it does not mean that knowing the aiming method is enough.

"One shot loaded, let go!"

The flag bearer waved the flag, then dropped it.

tom!
There was another low groan coming from the steel pipe.

call out!
The cannonball drew the longest parabola, then fell again, exploded with a bang, and dust was flying again. This time, what everyone saw was not so real.

"Quick, measure how far away!"

Qiao Rui is more active than Zhuge Liang this time. This thing is really easy to use. Swords and swords are likely to be eliminated. This thing cannot be leaked in a short time.

Everyone started to get busy, and then measured a little bit. This is an interesting thing. Although it is troublesome, everyone enjoys it and measures a little bit impatiently.

"My lord said that this kind of 1000mm caliber has a maximum range of more than [-] meters!" Zhuge Liang explained, and he was not sure whether his various ratios could reach the maximum range.

"How far is more than 1000 meters?" Qiao Rui was curious.

He knew the units of measurement used by Zhuge Liang and others, which were all given to them by Chu Feng.

"A step is about 1.5 meters," Zhuge Liang explained patiently.

"1.5 meters? That's not close!" Qiao Rui nodded, stroking his beard and showing a smile. Back then, Lv Buyuanmen's halberd shooting was shocking to heaven, but now, the range of their random mortars is likely to be ten times that he.

"With this thing, this crisis should be resolved. At that time, my lord can quell the wars in various places one by one, and unify the great Han!" Zhuge Liang looked to the north with some hope.

He really wanted to know the scene after the big man Kuangfu, when the time comes, the common people should be able to live and work in peace and contentment, right?

Perhaps, in today's world, only one's master has this ability and sense of responsibility. If it were someone else, the common people would still be in dire straits, but those aristocratic families are not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, right now Chu Feng has absolute military strength and can do what he wants, these aristocratic families are not qualified to influence him.

"Haha, Kong Ming, with this thing you developed, it will be more than a unified Han Dynasty. In my opinion, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Fuyu, Sanhan, Yamatai, and other small neighboring countries will all be the territory of the Han Dynasty. .”

Qiao Rui laughed heartily. He was a soldier. Leaving aside the lethality of this thing, the impact on the morale of the soldiers alone is incomprehensible. Who would dare to risk such a thing to charge?

Even the most valiant warrior must be fearful, right?
"Expand the territory? Haha, it should be possible. My lord has often said that what he thinks is that everything the sun and moon shine on and the rivers and rivers are all Han soil. I guess it won't be too difficult!"

Zhuge Liang also smiled brightly.

He believes that by then, the war will have changed, and the various strategic layouts will not be so absolute. Now that there are no iron weapons in other places, they have swept this thing directly.

"Teacher, General Qiao, it's been measured. It's a full 530 meters from here to there." After a while, a student rushed over and shouted excitedly.

More than 1000 meters, what is this concept?
"Good guy, a thousand steps?" Qiao Rui yelled out excitedly, more than 500 meters, directly pulled to the maximum, the distance of a thousand steps, this thing is so powerful!

"It's not bad, but my lord said that the caliber of this object determines the size of the shell, and also determines the distance of the shot. If the caliber is increased, it may be able to reach farther. Two thousand steps is not impossible!"

Zhuge Liang added a sentence, his eyes were full of light.

"Two thousand steps?" Qiao Rui took a few breaths suddenly, my good guy, two thousand steps can't be directly attacked out of the enemy's sight?It is estimated that even if the enemy army is defeated, they still don't know where the enemy is, right?

"Similarly, if the caliber continues to shrink, it will also increase the portability, and the range will be further shortened. It is estimated to be only about one or two hundred steps, but you can directly hold the barrel with your hands!"

Zhuge Liang made a gesture while talking.

Even if two people hold the gun barrel and one directly loads the shell, the range of this kind of power is slightly smaller, but it is lighter and the rate of fire will be faster.

This knowledge has gone beyond Qiao Rui's cognition. He only knows that he is awesome now, and he can't help fantasizing: "If all the legions under the lord's command are equipped with a fear artillery, I'm afraid."

"Haha!" Zhuge Liang smiled.

"Kong Ming, the battle on the front line is tight. Let the Blacksmith Battalion and Artisan Battalion fully cooperate with this item, and then increase production to ensure that it will be put into use as soon as possible, and train a group of artillery by the way!"

Qiao Rui hastily exhorted.

"En!" Zhuge nodded.

"How long will it take?" Qiao Rui asked again!
"The first batch is estimated to take seven or eight days at the fastest, and I will send people as soon as possible!" Zhuge Liang promised that the sooner this thing reaches the front line, the fewer people will die on the front line!
