Chapter 846: An important weapon for founding a country, mass production of cannons

They knew that what could make Lin Yun take it so seriously was definitely not an ordinary weapon.

Soon, the large team arrived at the martial arts field three miles away from the capital.

This is usually where the Royal Guards train.

But because hundreds of thousands of imperial troops from Yun County were transferred to Jiangxia County, the martial arts arena was empty.

Lin Yun and others had already come to the viewing platform and sat down.

Apart from the palace guards who were responsible for the actual operation, there were only two craftsmen below.

They still need to be responsible for some technical matters, and they also need to teach the palace guards how to use the cannon.

When a craftsman pulled off the black cloth, Fulin'an Qi Changyun finally saw the new weapon and suddenly took a breath of cold air.

"Oh my God! Look how this guy looks like a bamboo gun?"

Qi Changyun said to himself.

Fulin'an praised: "Your Majesty, the power of such a big bamboo gun is probably very powerful, right?"

Lin Yun just smiled and said nothing.

On the contrary, Yang Tiexin felt a little nervous. This cannon has never been tested since its development.

It would be easy to say if he succeeded, but if he failed, he would be embarrassed.

At this time, a craftsman ran under the viewing platform, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the cannon is ready and can be fired at any time. Please give your instructions!"

Lin Yun looked excited and said, "Then let's get started!"

"Yes!!"

The craftsman received the order and shouted: "Target the No. 7 martial arts arena one hundred feet away, fire!"

The palace guard standing behind the cannon immediately pulled the alloy rope below.

"Crack!"

Just listen to the sound of loading.

"Boom!"

A shocking loud noise instantly startled everyone present.

The dust under the base of the cannon was blown away, and a cannonball flew out, instantly turning the No. 6 martial arts arena into ruins.

Even though Fulin'an and Qi Changyun were prepared, they were still stunned by this shot.

And Yang Tiexin also completely relaxed. As long as it could happen successfully, it didn't matter even if there were still errors. He was sure to correct the calibration and make the shooting distance reach a hundred feet.

"Ha ha!!"

Lin Yun raised his head and laughed, patting Yang Tiexin on the shoulder.

"Okay!! Mr. Yang, I am so happy that you have made great achievements this time!!"

Fulin'an immediately knelt down on one knee and complimented: "Congratulations to the Prince Regent, congratulations to the Prince Regent! With such a human cannon, Guan Haiyue, the King of Han, will surely die without a burial place!"

Qi Changyun also knelt on the ground: "My lord, if this cannon can be sent to the front line with enough energy, it will definitely shine and enhance our country's prestige!!" At this time, Yang Tiexin bowed and said: "Fourteenth lord, this time The test is not yet a success. The distance from the bombardment position to the No. 7 martial arts arena is just a hundred feet, but there is still a lot left. I must improve it as soon as possible to reach the normal level! "

Lin Yun said with a smile: "These are all trivial matters! I am very satisfied to have reached the current level! However, what I want most is to be able to freely control the distance! After all, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly. If the enemy approaches the city, this cannon will Isn’t it useless?”

Yang Tiexin immediately took out a notebook and a writing brush from his arms, moistened the tip of the pen with his mouth, and quickly recorded Lin Yun's request.

Lin Yun and the other three saw it in their eyes, and they all admired Yang Tiexin's dedicated attitude.

The old man is now completely immersed in invention and creation, and seems not to care about anything outside himself.

"What the Fourteenth Master said makes sense, I will make improvements immediately when I get back!"

Lin Yunhan smiled and said: "There is no need to rush the improvement. You can always take your time! However, this cannon is now ready for actual combat. Can you please come up with the specific design drawing? I will allow Niubei Village to put it into production. !”

"The young master has brought the design drawing with him a long time ago! Your Majesty, just take it! It contains the manufacturing process of the cannon and cannonballs! Also, if Your Majesty is still not worried, you can also arrange for a craftsman to go back with you!"

Lin Yun took the design drawing, looked at the dense text and patterns on it, and said with approval: "Mr. Yang, it stands to reason that you should be rewarded heavily since you made that assault rifle last time, but I really don't want to do anything bad. You are in this state now, so don’t be angry with me..."

Yang Tiexin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Fourteenth Master, please don't say that! The little old man's achievements today are inseparable from your cultivation! Besides, the little old man has always regarded fame and wealth as rubbish, so he can stay with you and concentrate on his work. R&D, I’m satisfied!”

Lin Yun thought for a moment and suddenly said: "By the way! Mr. Yang, I remember that you have a granddaughter, right?"

Yang Tiexin nodded and said: "That's right! This girl has been living in Niubei Village. Speaking of which, our grandfather and grandson haven't seen each other for more than a year!"

Lin Yun said guiltily: "Hey, I am careless! Wait for a while, I will send someone to bring this girl to the capital!"

Yang Tiexin was indeed too old to be an official, and Lin Yun also expected him to continue to engage in research and manufacturing.

But in order to repay the favor, Lin Yun planned to train his granddaughter Yang Buhui well.

Counting the time, this girl is already in her twenties.

Yang Tiexin was overjoyed: "Then I'll thank the prince for it!"

At this moment, Fulin'an suddenly said: "Your Majesty, can this cannon be handed over to the Ministry of Industry for manufacturing?"

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a fierce look.

"Fu Zhongtang, don't push yourself too far! Last time, I gave you a manufacturing order for bamboo guns and ammunition. Do you still want to covet this cannon?"

On the side, Qi Changyun looked at him with gloating, secretly scolding the old man for being shameless for daring to make such excessive demands.

I have just seen the power of this cannon, and it will definitely be used as a weapon in the future. With Lin Yun's cautious character, how could he easily expose the manufacturing process?
Fulin'an explained: "My lord, please calm down. I have no selfish motives at all. All this is for the sake of the court's next battle with the King of Han!"

"If it is sent to Niubei Village for production and manufacturing, it will take a lot of time to send the drawings. Even if the finished product is manufactured, transportation of such a big thing will be a big problem! And the official road from Fengyang County to the capital is not easy to walk, and it requires It will take even longer! If we wait to send it to the front line, the day lily will probably be cold!"

Hearing what he said, Lin Yun frowned secretly and hesitated.

I have to say that what Fulinan said makes sense, but if it is handed over to the Ministry of Industry for manufacturing, the design drawings will inevitably be leaked.

This is the top military secret. Once it is leaked to the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course, then again, even if the design is made public, no one can produce the finished product without the technical support of Niubei Village.

When Qi Changyun saw Lin Yun's hesitation, and what Fulinan said made sense, he also agreed: "Your Majesty, what Fuzhongtang said is somewhat reasonable! This cannon is a heavy weapon, not an ordinary firearm. It must be very difficult to transport. , production in Niubei Village will affect the next war!"
