Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 422: Test Artillery, Suzaku Guard

"Hel me up, I want to teach Ruyan his skills."

Mrs. Yue's slightly weak voice sounded in the room. Everyone was shocked, and then suddenly realized, and everyone looked sad.

Yuezhi, a descendant of the Nanyue King's royal family, has royal blood, and the Nanyue King's royal family has passed down a secret method since ancient times. This secret method can only be passed down by direct blood.

That is, warriors at the magical power level or above can pass on their own cultivation to the next generation. Through this secret method, the loss will not exceed 30%.

Mr. Yue Tailao is a third-level warrior, and Yue Ruyan is a fourth-level warrior.

If you accept the skills taught by Mrs. Yuelao, you can become a third-level warrior.

It's just that the person who imparts the exercise will die immediately after imparting the exercise.

Therefore, the top-grade warriors of the Yuezhi throughout the ages would only pass on their cultivation to the next generation when their time is approaching.

Yue Ruyan's mother and grandmother both had mediocre talents, so the best choice was to teach Yue Ruyan her skills.

"Come up." Compared to his soft drink to Grandma Yue Ruyan, Mr. Yue Tai spoke to Yue Ruyan in an extremely gentle tone.

"Ruyan, good boy." Mrs. Yue stroked Yue Ruyan's cheek with her withered hands and said, "I believe, Ruyan, you will be able to lead the Yue family out of the current predicament. It's just this Everything, I can’t see it anymore”

"Ruyan, come up." Lord Yue Tai said.

Yue Ruyan obediently got on the bed and sat down cross-legged.

"Grandma" Yue Ruyan couldn't bear it.

Yue Ruyan was promoted to a magical warrior, but there was no happy smile on her face.

……

Mrs. Yue is gone.

Mrs. Yue is sitting behind Yue Ruyan, with a solemn expression. She is running her body skills and her robes are fluttering. At this moment, she looks like someone who is about to die. Even a young woman does not have her mental state. good.

Mrs. Yue raised her hands, her palms were warm, and a faint white mist emerged.

Linzhou.

"Grandma" Yue Ruyan's eyes finally became moist.

Yue Ruyan's grandma quickly helped the old lady up, and she was already crying into tears.

The moment he finished imparting the power to Yue Ruyan, he closed his eyes completely and couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.

"No, Ruyan doesn't want it, Grandma Tai, you will be able to survive it." Yue Ruyan's voice was low.

"Help me up." Mr. Yue Tai said to Yue Ruyan's grandma.

At this time, a piece of good news also reached Yue Ruyan's ears.

"Ruyan, relax."

After attending the funeral for Mr. Yue Tai, Yue Ruyan immediately returned to the frontline battlefield. At this moment, her eyes were full of murderous intent.

King Huai sent troops to reinforce Longyou.

After giving the instruction, Mr. Yue Tai placed his palms lightly on Yue Ruyan's back.

Chen Mo felt like a fool.

Really.

Because he suddenly remembered that traditional Chinese iron cannons did not have explosive bullets, that is, bullets that would explode when fired.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Hongyi cannons introduced from Portugal were equipped with explosive shells. However, the explosive shells at that time were complicated to manufacture and very unreliable. The main reason was that they did not have reliable fuses and could not accurately control the time when the shells exploded. .

Sometimes the cannonball exploded as soon as it came out of the chamber, and sometimes the cannonball exploded long after it hit the ground. Therefore, it was not widely used. More often, solid iron projectiles or shotgun shells filled with iron sand or iron pellets were used to achieve the effect of mass destruction.

Therefore, it was impossible for Chen Mo to expect the craftsmen to figure out the blooming bullets he wanted in just one month.

If you want to test whether the cannon manufactured by Tian Sheng and others is up to standard, you can first use solid iron pellets as cannonballs to test.

And it doesn't take long to make a solid iron pill. At Chen Mo's request, in mid-December, the craftsmen produced the solid iron pellets Chen Mo needed.

That afternoon, Chen Mo had someone pull the cannon out of the weapons workshop and go to a mountain forest outside the city for inspection. Only people from the military camp accompanied him.

Although cannons and solid cannonballs are now available, the people in the barracks, and even the people who made it, don't know what it is used for or how to use this novel gadget.

Therefore, Chen Mo still needs to do the inspection steps personally.

First the cannon was fixed to the ground.

For better transportation, Chen Mo has asked craftsmen to install wheels on the cannon.

There is a sight on the cannon, but Chen Mo is also a theorist and doesn't know how to use it. He can only tinker with it by using methods he has seen in movies and TV series.

Fortunately, it is just to test the quality of the cannon and does not require accurate aiming.

Chen Mo first weighed the gunpowder, loaded it from the muzzle, compacted it with a wooden stick, and then loaded it with a solid iron pellet.

Sun Meng and his men watched from a short distance away, feeling very curious.

Soon, Chen Mo's voice reached their ears.

"Cover your ears."

Although Sun Meng and the others had doubts, they did not dare to disobey Chen Mo's orders and followed them one by one.

After they covered their ears, Chen Mo used his innate spiritual energy to light the fuse at the end of the cannon.

Boom——

A tongue of flame shot out from the muzzle of the cannon, and the 2,500-pound cannon was moved back a little by the shock.

The thunder of the earth suddenly sounded from a distance.

Chen Mo fired at the mountain wall, but his accuracy was a little skewed, and he hit a big tree next to him.

The result still made Chen Mo quite satisfied. The half-meter-thick tree was directly smashed by the solid iron ball.

"hiss"

Sun Meng put down his hand and took a breath of cold air as he looked at the broken tree.

It turns out that the cannon that the Marquis spent so much effort to create is actually such a powerful weapon.

If this hits a person, he will probably die suddenly.

This thing seems to be more useful than fire bombs.

Chen Mo waved his hand, called Sun Meng in front of him, and said, "Don't reveal even a single word about what happened here today."

"My subordinates understand." Even if Chen Mo didn't say anything, Sun Meng knew that this kind of thing should be kept secret.

After returning from the artillery fire, Chen Mo realized a problem.

That is to set up a special department, which will manage the production of artillery, shells, and gunpowder, and train gunners who specialize in firing artillery. In addition, this department will be responsible for tinkering with the artillery's charge, aiming angle, Distance or something.

Don't avoid getting shot wrong on the battlefield.

In addition, if he thinks of other weapons in the future, he can also ask this department to make them.

And this department can only obey his orders and no other people are allowed to interfere.

After all, Chen Mo needs to keep such a powerful weapon firmly in his hands. If there is no special department to take charge of it, there will be too many people handling it, and it will be easy for the secrets to be leaked.

After Chen Mo thought about it for a while, he began to make preparations.

The name of this department is "Suzaku Guard".

Zhining has been idle long enough to let her take charge.
