Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Chapter 153 Gu Lie is numb, why do you two look like a couple? !
Mortars were rated as the most useful weapon.

This thing is light and practical.

It is especially suitable for this kind of mountain combat.

Because this mortar has no maximum elevation angle limit.

Give a slightly more open space in front, and a parabola can smash through it!
And... the most important thing is that the cost of the mortar is not high, and it is easy to manufacture!
In terms of the current industrial level of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as long as the horsepower is turned on, it is not a problem to produce hundreds of thousands of pieces a month!
Moreover, the cost of mortars can be crazily compressed in some places.

If Lu Yuan remembers correctly, extremely cheap mortars were built during the Republic of China.

For example, the gun mount of a mortar is changed from iron to wood, and the steel base is changed to a pig iron base.

There are many things that can cut costs.

Of course, the reduced mortar is not as good as the normal one in terms of performance and durability.

However, isn't the banditry in the south anxious now?

Get out what you can use first.

Moreover, mortars are a dimensionality reduction attack for the banditry in the south.

To put it simply, that side is still at the level of World War I, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is directly at the level of World War II.

It can be said that with mortars, it will definitely not take long to solve the banditry in the south.

Three months of preparation, two months of attack, and one month of finishing.

If you get this thing for a pig, the pig will beat it.

If Gu Lie had brought the mortar he made, it would have taken an extra day to end the banditry, Gu Lie would be sorry for the [God of War] label on him!
Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie immediately went forward to check the mortar design drawing that Lu Yuan put on the table.

However, it is a pity that these two people are not craftsmen.

I don't even look at the blueprints.

Looking at so many design drawings, the two of them were dumbfounded.

Of course, even though the design drawings are incomprehensible, the two of them can at least understand what the cannon looks like.

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuandao in disbelief:
"This is... a... mortar... This seems to be a small tube... Can this be fired?"

Lu Yuan put another cigarette in his mouth, looked at Gu Qingwan and smiled.

But Gu Qingwan was startled, then pursed her lips, picked up the matchbox from the table, and lit it for Lu Yuan again.

Immediately, after taking a puff of cigarette, Lu Yuan said proudly:

"Don't worry, although the taxi is not too far away, there must be a distance of 2000 meters~"

In fact, the range of a real mortar can reach more than 3000 meters.

However, it is limited by the material and the quality of gunpowder here.

Lu Yuan made a compromise.

And a distance of 2000 meters is enough.

At this time, Gu Lie was already fascinated by it, even though Gu Lie couldn't understand it, it didn't matter.

The important thing is...

Isn't this...

Can you go to suppress the bandits? !
After Gu Qingwan finished lighting a cigarette for Lu Yuan, she picked up the papers again, looked at Lu Yuan curiously and said:
"How much does this thing cost?"

this……

Lu Yuan really didn't calculate it in detail.

After Lu Yuan blinked, he said:
"I haven't calculated it in detail, but it must be cheaper than the regulations you drafted before.

At the very least, a lot can be saved from the army alone.

With this thing, the army doesn't need to charge, it just needs to shoot outside.

Then drive the gang out of the den, and finish it off with the elite troops outside. "

When Gu Qingwan heard this, she nodded again and again, this is true.

Although she, Gu Qingwan, doesn't know much about military matters, at least this thing is destined to be very cheap just because of its size.

Most importantly, with this...mortar, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not need to charge on a large scale.

This will save a lot of people from dying.

This alone is enough.

When Gu Qingwan was looking at the manuscript paper in his hand, feeling extremely happy, Lu Yuan sat by the side and smoked a cigarette:

"How about, let's go to the forging bureau today, and I'll get it out for you to have a look?"

Although this design drawing was made by Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan also wanted to design it himself to see the effect.

Otherwise, I really don't feel at ease.

Eh?
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie were taken aback, and then they immediately nodded excitedly.

This is of course good!

Even if Gu Qingwan still has a lot of things to do this afternoon, she wants to follow along.

After all, what Lu Yuan said was so miraculous, the two of them really didn't believe it.

but……

Gu Qingwan slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"Can you get it out this afternoon?"

Lu Yuan nodded confidently and said:

"Of course, this thing is actually very simple to build, just add a thimble under the barrel, and the slightly troublesome thing is the impact fuze on the front of the shell.

But that's okay, if it doesn't work, just install the trigger device for the tail, and let you see how far this thing can fly.

But that is, can you get gunpowder? That thing seems to be controlled, but there is no such thing in the forging bureau. "

Gu Qingwan was startled, then nodded directly and said:
"No problem, I'll send someone to the forging bureau in a while!"

After Lu Yuan nodded, he said directly:
"Send it to Arsenal, we'll go there after dinner.

But... this map should be classified, so you just show it to me, okay? "

Gu Qingwan was startled, then looked at Lu Yuan with a smile and said:
"Don't worry, no one will trouble me."

Holding the blueprint of the mortar in her hand, Gu Qingwan felt extremely happy.

How much money does this have to save!
The previous charter drawn up by the cabinet stated that the suppression of bandits would take at least two years.

Because this strong attack is not enough, the plan of the cabinet and the Ministry of War is to besiege these bandits in the mountains step by step.

Guard the mountain roads and cut off the food and water sources of these bandits.

When these people are desperate, they come out and surrender.

But how many mountains are there in the south?

There is also food and drink in this mountain.

Just relying on food from the mountains, this group of people will not be able to get out for a while.

The army surrounded the mountains for two years.

In the past two years, it was an astronomical sum just to send supplies to the army stationed in the mountains.

This war has been at least two years, and the number given by the previous cabinet alone is close to 2000 million.

This money is really terrible for the Great Zhou Dynasty, which has just escaped from the chaos of war and is waiting for prosperity.

After all, these bandits are still a trivial matter, what matters is the Gilded Dynasty.

The Gilded Dynasty is now on its last legs, and it must be wiped out in the past few years!

Otherwise, when the Gilded Dynasty recovers its breath, weeds will burn out again.

Let the banditry in the south keep dragging on, let's say it's serious, it's really going to delay the national fortune!

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that those bandits in the south are so unscrupulous.

Knowing that the imperial court has no time to deal with them now.

So I'm afraid I don't want to grab more in the past few years, so that I can survive in the future.

but now……

With Lu Yuan's mortar!

In the front, you only need to be well prepared, and in the back, you can push all the way.

This Lu Yuan's thing is really comparable to a bicycle and a thresher!
No, this thing is what the Great Zhou Dynasty needs most!

The war that was supposed to last at least two years can now be resolved in half a year, why is Gu Qingwan unhappy?

Originally, because of the previous incident, Gu Qingwan hated Lu Yuan a little.

And now...

Even if Gu Qingwan wanted to keep a sullen face, she still couldn't help showing a smile when talking to Lu Yuan.

And... this guy really cares about people.

But I still think of something that leaks or not.

But... Obviously, Gu Qingwan thought too much.

Because after Gu Qingwan said that no one would trouble her.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows solemnly and said:
"I didn't say whether you will be okay, what I mean is whether I will be okay, will you goug out my eyeballs and cut my tongue?"

Gu Qingwan was startled, then the trace of smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and the next second she stared at Lu Yuan and said:
"will not!"

Lu Yuan nodded, thinking he was fine.

Just in case, just in case.

After all, Gu Qingwan looked at Gu Lie who was giggling while holding the blueprints and said:
"Don't laugh, you can go to the Ministry of War now and talk about it. The gunpowder requested on this paper will be sent directly to the Armor Factory. We will go directly after dinner."

While talking, Gu Qingwan got up and took the manuscript paper from Gu Lie's hand, and carefully arranged it.

I'm afraid that my younger brother's saliva will flow on it and it will be damaged.

Even in excitement, Gu Liedang hastily said:

"I'm not going to eat, I'll take the food to the Armor Factory myself, you eat it quickly, and go directly to the Armor Factory after eating.

I will ask the people in the Armor Factory to prepare a workshop and materials will come out. "

After finishing speaking, Gu Lie left directly.

Such a happy thing, what else to eat!
Gu Lie was really not hungry at all.

After Gu Lie left, only Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan were left in the room.

What do you think is going to happen?
never.

As soon as Gu Lie left, he started to eat food. Lu Yuan directly lowered his head to eat, and ignored Gu Qingwan at all.

Although this Gu Qingwan was pretty, she was on par with her own wife in appearance.

but……

This temper is far worse.

Lu Yuan was not interested at all.

Of course, Lu Yuan wasn't interested in other women at first.

My daughter-in-law is so beautiful, my daughter-in-law is gentle, and she knows how to take care of others.

Now that she is pregnant with herself, Lu Yuan really wants to love her beautiful and mature daughter-in-law who looks like a little white rabbit in her heart.

If this Gu Qingwan had the same personality as Wang Yulan and Chen Taohua.

Lu Yuan would like to say a few more words, just friends.

But with this kind of personality, Lu Yuan feels that it is quite tiring to be friends with this kind of person.

Therefore, Lu Yuan lowered his head and ate wildly, not paying attention to Gu Qingwan at all.

But Gu Qingwan was not very hungry, she just sat on the side, looking at the manuscript paper in her hand with eyes full of joy.

Although Gu Qingwan didn't quite understand it, she was happy.

I also sighed in my heart, what is in Lu Yuan's head, he knows everything! !
Thinking of this, Gu Qingwan put down the manuscript paper in her hand, glanced at Lu Yuan who was eating wildly with his head down, shook his head involuntarily and said:

"Just eat slowly, and I won't fight with you."

After Lu Yuan raised his head and glanced at Gu Qingwan, he didn't speak.

Instead, he continued to eat with his head down.

After drinking and eating.

Lu Yuan and Gu Qingwan went downstairs.

Before leaving, Gu Lie settled all the accounts.

After the two went out, Lu Yuan looked at Gu Qingwan curiously and said:
"How are you going?"

Lu Yuan would definitely not take Gu Qingwan there.

Lu Yuan rode a horse, if he took Gu Qingwan with him, wouldn't this Gu Qingwan want to sit in front of him?

That doesn't work!
The front of the man's horse is just like the co-pilot of the car on the earth.

I can only leave it to my wife~
Gu Qingwan waved her hands and said:
"Don't worry about me, my family lives near here, I'll go home by carriage."

Lu Yuan nodded:

"Got it."

After all, Lu Yuan galloped towards the Armor Factory on horseback.

…………

In the afternoon, there is nothing to say.

As before, Lu Yuan worked on it himself, while Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie watched from the side.

Gu Lie even recruited all the soldiers from the Ministry of War to guard the door and not let anyone in.

This made all the people in Armor Factory curious, why Lu Yuan is still on line with the Ministry of War now.

After three o'clock in the afternoon.

Lu Yuan is done.

Take the soldiers and other things to the wasteland outside the Armor Factory for testing.

The mortar that Lu Yuan is making now does not contain explosives, but only has gunpowder in the tail device.

Just to see how far this mortar can hit.

As for the real power of this mortar, it can explode.

Then you have to go to a serious professional venue to test.

Otherwise, even though this is the outskirts of the imperial city, there are still ordinary people. If the flying goes wrong and someone is injured, it will be bad.

Lu Yuan set up the barrel, held a shell in his hand and placed it at the entrance of the mortar, looked at the curious Gu Lie next to him and said:
"When this thing is put into the muzzle, you must remember to let go of it, and don't throw it in.

Otherwise, if you add that little extra force, the collision with the ejected cannonball itself might explode the chamber. "

Gu Lie nodded repeatedly, and then, Lu Yuan let go.

There was a muffled sound.

After the shell of this mortar fell into the barrel and hit the bottom needle, it was fired instantly!
The cannonball flew straight away, and the three of Lu Yuan must not have seen where it went.

But there are soldiers.

Immediately, the soldiers went to look for it, and a few minutes later, they found the shell in an explosion area planned by Lu Yuan.

Finally measure the distance.

1800 meters!
Lu Yuan looked at the excited Gu Lie who knew how to measure the distance, raised his head with a smile and said:
"This is not the longest distance, and the strongest part of the mortar is that it is completely parabolic, which means it can hit things behind the bunker.

In the future, if you meet someone hiding behind the mountain, you can blow him up with a parabola! "

At this moment, Gu Lie, who was overwhelmed with excitement, immediately turned around to Gu Qingwan who was looking at the side with a smile on his face, and said:

"Sister, you see, now I can go to suppress the bandits, right?"

Gu Qingwan was startled, but almost forgot that there was such a thing.

Gu Qingwan stood there a little silent.

She really didn't want her younger brother to suppress bandits...

But... Gu Qingwan also didn't want her brother to accomplish nothing.

This Gu Qingwan is very tangled...

But this matter has been agreed before, in the end, Gu Qingwan looked at Gu Lie and said:
"Since you have already agreed, my sister will not go back on her word. You will be a lieutenant general in the army."

lieutenant? !
Gu Lie was startled, he was about to quit on the spot, and directly gritted his teeth and said:
"What kind of lieutenant general, with this kind of thing, it's a flat push all the way, do you still need to command this thing, as long as there is no problem with your head, you know how to fight!
The lord and general despise me, I am going to lead the elite troops deep into the enemy's rear! ! "

Lead the elite troops and go deep behind enemy lines? !

Can Gu Qingwan agree? !

Of course I can't agree!
Almost instantly, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and said:
"impossible!!
It is absolutely impossible for you to go deep behind enemy lines, don't even think about it! "

Gu Lie saw that his sister's side was definitely not going to work, and immediately turned his head to look at Lu Yuan who had just taken out a cigarette from his pocket.

"Brother, tell me quickly, you said you want me to go to the elite army, my sister said it herself before, as long as she loses, you can do whatever you say!!"

Gu Lie wanted to get mad.

But this is his own sister, and Gu Lie dare not, so he can only hope that Lu Yuan will speak out.

Brother Lu Yuan is simply his own savior!

At this time, Gu Qingwan also looked at Lu Yuan, who was standing beside him with a cigarette in his mouth, and was groping for a matchbox all over his body.

Ok?
When Lu Yuan heard Gu Lie calling him, he looked up at the siblings in a daze.

I almost forgot about this.

At this time, Gu Qingwan and Gu Lie looked at Lu Yuan a little differently.

Gu Lie had great expectations, hoping that his brother Lu Yuan would quickly tell him to lead the elite troops.

But Gu Qingwan's eyes were still so indifferent and ruthless.

But...with a hint of pleading...

Lu Yuan caught this look, and after a long silence.

Lu Yuan suddenly grinned at Gu Lie and said with a smile:

"You go to Hammer's elite unit. It's good for you to be a lieutenant general. You listen to your sister."

At this time, Gu Qingwan really did not expect that Lu Yuan would suddenly stand by her side.

after all……

From the beginning, Lu Yuan has been against himself.

Almost instantly, Gu Qingwan's majestic and indifferent beautiful face, like the ice melting for thousands of years, showed a smile of incomparable joy.

Eyes brightened up.

Immediately, Gu Qingwan quickly walked in front of Lu Yuan, lit a match, and lit the cigarette in Lu Yuan's mouth with her arms raised.

Afterwards, Gu Qingwan stood beside Lu Yuan, raised her head slightly, looked at her younger brother very proudly and said:

"Have you heard that, it's up to your brother~"

Gu Lie became numb seeing the scene in front of him.

no……

Why are you two like a couple? ! !
