Datang: I am so happy to marry a disfigured princess!

Chapter 227 I asked you to rectify the artillery, but you have to rectify this thing.
This kind of discussion lasted for three days and three nights. The Hubu almost stayed up all night, and several people had room and board in the Hubu.

Lin Heng, Ma Zhou and others are almost in a state of excitement. After all, if this thing is put together, it will be able to control the entire economy of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian does not understand what role this thing can have, and he is always listless. , but seeing that others refused to leave, he had no choice but to stay.

These people are almost going crazy. You can often see someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs suddenly jumping up in his sleep, sharing the theory he has thought of with everyone, and then calling others to see if this is feasible.

Li Ningxi has also been notified, and the latter comes from time to time to deliver meals and show concern, but the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still have to work hard.

Finally, on the fourth day, everyone basically discussed a bottom-level plan, which was the result of the hard work of countless people present all night long!
That’s the first draft!

This thick stack, which is comparable to the Xinhua Dictionary, will be shown to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin will be asked to revise it again if he points out unreasonable points. The final draft will be sent to Zhongshu Province for Fang Xuanling and others to review. In short Rather cumbersome.

Except for war, other national policies are not so easy to pass.

Dou Jing has to work hard for the rest.

After leaving the Hubu territory, Lin Heng was in a state of high spirits. He finally got it done.

I'm so sleepy, go home and sleep!
When he got home and saw his wife, Lin Heng sighed with emotion: "You don't know, those people wouldn't let me go and insisted on me nagging them. I almost ended up there!"

Li Ningxi rolled her eyes: "Ning Xi watched you holding the prince to prevent him from leaving, and then went together to ask the prince for his advice..."

Lin Heng cannot agree with this. What kind of job is this? The old man Dou Jing is almost fifty, but he is still energetic. Your prince is about twenty, can you sleep at your age?

Now it depends on the purification of the silver. The silver can be purified to the ideal level, and then the next step of the discussion can be discussed. Of course, this discussion will still last for a long time. Discussions about the exchange rate of the silver coin, the style of the silver coin and the non-counterfeitability have yet to be discussed. Not carried out.

"I'm so tired. Give me a kiss and I won't feel tired again..."

Among the original discussants, all were in high spirits, and only Prince Li Chengqian woke up after sleeping for a whole day and night after returning home.

These people are crazy!
He wondered why his father asked him to do such a thing early in the morning. If his father had done it himself, he would be the one who collapsed now.

No way, he still couldn't understand what role this economic system played in the governance of the country. Although he respected it on the surface, deep down he felt that everyone was just designing a tool.

In the feudal era, imperial power was the most important tool.

In fact, he doesn't think highly of these. In fact, many of the theories here are related to business, so he is not very interested.

But after all, the matter fell on him. He was the person in charge and had to do a good job. My father seemed to take this matter seriously.

Now it's time to discuss joining the family with the family.

He thought that the aristocratic family had a close relationship with him during this period, and as the prince, he should be able to win over the family with his father's prestige.

In the Lin family workshop, some people from each workshop have been transferred to work in the gunpowder workshop. The purpose is to increase the output of matchlock guns as much as possible. The more, the better.

This thing is so precise that the output is actually only fifteen handfuls a day. After the number of people increases, it doubles, which is thirty handfuls a day.

Everyone worked overtime. After all, everyone knew that this matchlock gun would be used in war in the future. In the war against Goryeo, the vast majority of them were from Lin County, that is, refugees who migrated from Shandong. See Now that their hometown is being threatened by Goryeo, everyone is naturally enthusiastic about doing it.

In short, the bullets produced by oneself will cause fatal wounds to the enemy in the future. How can it be without power?

Those who research artillery have been constantly trying during this time, using fireworks methods to design, increasing the lethality by changing the ratio of saltpeter, gunpowder and wood chips, and adding iron sand to it, which can also cause area damage.

The explosion experiment was very successful. After changing the ratio of this thing, the explosion range and lethality are very large. The effective killing range is within three feet, which is already very large.

In a dense formation of 10 people, dozens of them were blown away by one cannonball.But they encountered a problem.

This thing can’t launch far!

When I tried once, the cannonball came out with a bang, and then landed in front of everyone in a parabola.
The shot went out less than half a foot, but that foot still escaped.

This time, everyone was almost frightened. They had to run fast, otherwise everything would be over...

In later experiments, they all used three-foot-long leads, for no other reason than to live the best!

The technical problem has encountered a bottleneck. The impact of the cannonball is not enough. Try to adjust the amount of gunpowder fired. Once the amount of gunpowder is exceeded, the chamber will explode and the barrel of the cannon will be blown to pieces.

These are all made of iron...

But if there is not enough gunpowder, it cannot be fired. It is better to light it and throw it out directly.

So everyone thought, could they use a catapult to launch this thing?

But if it is small, it is useless. The objects that the catapult can launch are very large.

So someone suggested designing a huge bomb and launching it with a catapult.

Just go ahead and do it. They immediately made a bomb about half a man high and filled with gunpowder, and then pulled it to the open testing ground.

At that time, Lin Heng brought Li Ningxi over to check the progress, and saw a projection truck in the distance.

Lin Heng groaned, this thing is different from the cannon he designed. I am developing new technology, and you are here to set me back?
Then I saw a cannonball weighing several hundred kilograms being thrown.

A beautiful parabola.
Approximately two hundred feet in area
Following a huge roar, Lin Heng was stunned for a moment.

Come on, this thing is more powerful than a siege stone!

Wouldn't this be a useful weapon for attacking cities?
Unexpectedly, they still have a lot of ideas.

However, Lin Heng still wondered why they designed something like this instead of a cannon.

Lin Heng quickly went over to ask and learned the reason.

Encountering a technical bottleneck, the cannonball cannot be launched. If such a launch does not wait to hit others in the face, one of our own will be killed first.

Lin Heng pulled their cannon barrel over and inspected it for a moment.

It was indeed a run designed by myself, made of pure iron, and there was indeed something wrong with it.

He also took a look at it. These people brought the artillery to the test site for testing, and used a three-foot-long fuse, which showed how rich these people's experience in being bombed was.

Sure enough, the distance is still too close
Seeing this, Lin Heng pondered for a moment, took back the previous drawings, and planned to go home to see what the problem was.

There must be something not considered.
