Chapter 94 Xijing Armament Office [First update, please order first!Ask for a monthly pass! 】

At the beginning of the founding of Daliang, there was an 'Arms Supervisor', which was the decree to gather materials and manufacture military utensils.

During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the imperial court set up the 'Wujing Military Weapons Institute', which was solely responsible for the manufacture of weapons.

There are many workshops and warehouses under it——

Such as 'Nufang Department', the palm cashier spear lance, bow and arrow, row crossbow, blade arrow, miscellaneous and craftsmen.

Such as the 'Jiafang Department', the palm cashier armor, rope, tendons and corners, miscellaneous work and craftsmen.

Such as the 'workshop material library', palm collection of iron tin, feather arrows, paint and other things.

Such as 'Pijiaoku', the palm collects leather, tendons and horns for workshop use.

There are also many large workshops such as gunpowder making, green kiln making, and fierce kerosene making.

among them.

'Gunpowder work' and 'Fighting fire oil work' are what Cao Xin has been paying attention to.

……

"On the same day, [-] gunpowder arrows for the crossbow and [-] gunpowder arrows for the bow were released."

This is part of the production capacity of Xijing Gunpowder.

'Gunpowder making' is not simply the production of gunpowder, but more of the application of gunpowder.

In Renzong's time, there is a saying in "Wujing Zongyao Qianji Jitu": "A rocket is used to apply gunpowder to the head of the arrow, and the bow and crossbow are used. The weight of the medicine is based on the power of the bow."

Gunpowder Arrows!
This is a crossbow rocket made at the beginning of the founding of Daliang, consisting of an arrow and a powder cartridge.

The gunpowder cartridge is made of cloth or paper, and the gunpowder is rolled inside.The powder cartridge is made and tied near the arrow.When using it, first ignite the fuse, and then use the bow and crossbow to shoot to the enemy's line, burning the enemy's troops and food.

This is a fire weapon.

In addition to gunpowder arrows, there are also six types of firearms in the beam, including smoke balls, poison smoke balls, fire sticks, fire sticks, caltrop fire sticks, and thunderballs.

However, the gunpowder of the beam is still in its infancy, and has two obvious weaknesses: one is that it is difficult to ignite with an open flame, and it can only be ignited by continuously providing heat with a burning iron cone; It can only burn fully in the presence of air.

Technological innovation is not easy.

……

"Gunpowder formula."

"One what two what three what?"

Cao Xin tried hard to recall.

Ten years have passed in this life.

Even in the last life, he had left the campus and entered the society for several years. He had long forgotten the chemical knowledge of junior high school and high school, and the formula of 'black powder' that was not used in daily life.

I only vaguely know that there is a ratio of one to two to three. There should be saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal in it. One catty of saltpeter, two catties of sulfur, and three catties of charcoal?
Is there any sulfuric acid coming?

Can't remember.

uncertain.

Besides, how to make saltpeter, sulfur and sulfuric acid?

Do not understand.

Is this thing pure?

Or is it made pure?

Does charcoal pick wood?

Charcoal and coal should not be the same thing, right?
do not know.

Not sure.

Homemade gunpowder is not as easy as you might think.

If you have this skill, you might as well steal it.

"The formula of Daliang's gunpowder is strictly confidential. Although the quality is not good, if the quantity is large, it can still be used."

Cao Xin has a 'primitive fairyland' and a 'portable space', which is completely a 'self-propelled gunpowder store'.

It was a top expert like Duan Chong who was suddenly confronted by someone who might also be bombed.

"You can steal!"

"Can save!"

When Cao Xin thought about means of self-defense, the first thing that came to his mind was gunpowder.

But beyond that, after getting to know the Xijing Armament Institute, he realized that there is something more powerful than gunpowder, more suitable for him, called 'Fighting Fire Oil'.

……

The 'Xijing Armament Office' is located in the southwest corner of Xijing City. There are many workshops, exclusive docks, heavy troops stationed, and strict guards.

Even if there is a 'primitive fairyland', it is not easy for Cao Xin to sneak in.

And it's not enough to just sneak in. In the 'self-contained' weaponry, you must accurately find the warehouses that store 'fierce oil', 'gunpowder', and 'firearms'.

To do this is more difficult.

In the past, even though Cao Xin thought about it, he even summed up all kinds of information about the 'weapon station', but he never was rash and did not have the idea of ​​​​playing the vast number of weapons in the weapon station.

You must know that the warehouse of the Weapons Institute is known as the 'Story of Weapons and Weapons Over the Years'.

The 'primitive fairyland' alone is far from enough.

In case of being trapped inside, although his life is safe, if the garrison is alerted and patrolled day and night, even if Cao Xin enters and leaves the 'primitive fairyland', he may be trapped for ten days and a half months or even longer.

What's more, frequent entry and exit, frequent discovery, and exposure of some details are also very likely.

Cao Xin was cautious and patient.

Until today, with the 'anchor', he has the courage.

But still not easy.

"Three steps and one post."

"Five steps and one whistle."

"The workshops are divided, the warehouses are scattered, and there are people guarding them."

"And the patrols—"

After Cao Xin returned from Caojiazhuang, he spent more than ten consecutive days and nights exploring the weapons station, with little progress every day.Be cautious first, stop and go, spend the night with little gain.

Of course, he can go to 'night visit' the craftsmen working in the weaponry, or the officials of various sizes, to ask for information.

But there's a problem with that too--

Cao Xin never harms innocent people.

Innocent craftsmen.

Officials also have to spend time to screen whether they are good or bad. They always only want to pick the bad ones.

survey.

poor.

needs time.

Furthermore, it is easy to startle the snakes. In a critical place like the 'Xijing Armament Institute', if there is a slight disturbance, there may be corresponding stress responses.

So if you don't take this step, you won't go.

Although it is slow to explore on your own, it is better to be solid and secure, and to keep all the details in mind.

Cao Xin was very patient.

He had spent two or three days before and after hunting down Luoxiu County's head, Guo Sheng.

Now for the 'treasure' in the weaponry, let alone ten days and a half months, even a year and a half, he is willing.

then.

Go every night!
Rain or shine!

With the attitude of 'slow work and careful work', he sketched out the layout and deployment map of the weapon station little by little—

Sentinel position, manpower configuration.

Patrol route, frequency and number of people.

The location of the workshop and warehouse is the most important thing. Find one and confirm one, but don't rush to do it, just step on the spot.

Cao Xin is most looking forward to the rainy night.

The rain was pouring, and the gatekeepers, guards, and patrols were all slack to varying degrees. In addition, the sound of the rain and the sight of the rain were obscured, which made it harder for Cao Xin who sneaked into it.

However, it is a pity that the time has entered December, and there is little rain, but snowflakes are floating.

When there was snow on the ground, Cao Xin could only temporarily stop work for a few days if he could not walk on the snow without a trace.

This is intermittent, slow, and persevering.

At the end of the year, more than a month has passed, and the situation of the 'Arms Institute' has not yet been ascertained.

The weaponry is open all year round, and the year is not slack.

It was Cao Xin who gave himself a holiday.

……

Xijing is a vast city with many entertainment venues, including but not limited to teahouses, brothels, casinos, etc.

Among them, the casinos are the most.

Liang people like to gamble, and Xijing is the worst.

In the streets and alleys, there are casinos and casinos everywhere, cockfights, dogs and crickets, and everything can be gambled.

There are many casinos, betting big and small.

Small pennies.

Big no limit.

Otherwise, how did the Ge family's huge family property in Changxi lose?
From the dealers and pawns, to the dignitaries, there is no gambling.

Cao Xin's age, brothel is not suitable for going, the teahouse is not interesting, the goulan ditty is dull and boring, only the casino is the most attractive.

"There are many gamblers in the casino, and the three religions and nine streams gather together, and they are well-informed."

"In the future, I will pick up ordnance materials from the Armament Center, and I will have to find a place for them."

It's always right to hang around in the casino more.

In the past, I was young, and it was too dazzling to come.But now, there is the sixth floor's 'Shou Shiqing's body adjustment method', which can incarnate the 'sick old man'——

An old man in his early 1.6 meters will not be too eye-catching.

Old gambler!
Old gambler!
Old people have gamblers too!
