Chapter 2153 Success
The transformation of Jiaolong this time is a very large project. It can be said that weapons have changed from cold weapons to the age of firearms. For the platform of Jiaolong, the changes are also very huge. Naturally, this cannot be completed in a day or two. engineering.

While the master shipbuilders were remodeling the Jiaolong, another group of master craftsmen was still experimenting with the gunpowder, and it was very close to success. The gunpowder that has been tested so far can already fire solid shells 700 meters away. In fact, it is fully equipped, but Zeng Yi is still a little dissatisfied, saying that it is 700 meters, but this is already the limit distance, and the shells at a distance of 700 meters are basically useless.You must know that Persia has begun to equip a large number of ironclad ships. With the defense of ironclad ships, if the power of the shells is not strong, there is no way to break through the enemy's defense.

Finally, a few days later, those master craftsmen had developed qualified gunpowder. Hearing the news, Zeng Yi and his four men, who had a slightly higher status, all went to the shipyard.

Seeing so many people coming, Zeng Yi hurriedly asked those master craftsmen to carry out an experiment. The results of the experiment were very gratifying. The solid shells were fired thousands of meters away, and the shells still had enough power beyond the kilometres. The shells have been stopped at 1000 or [-] meters away.

Seeing this range, the governor of the Dengzhou Navy was pleasantly surprised: "With a distance of more than a thousand steps, no enemy's weapon can reach this distance! It can be said that artillery is invincible beyond a thousand meters!"

Weapons with a range of more than 1000 meters can be regarded as invincible artifacts in this era. Even the most powerful three-bow crossbow in the Central Plains cannot reach this distance. Seeing this range, the old eunuch was overjoyed at first, Immediately after his face changed, he immediately recruited the Dongchang fans to strictly protect the shipyard.And also ordered the imperial army, did not allow anyone to approach the shipyard.

Zeng Yi understood the old eunuch's approach very well. Although the artillery was very large and heavy, the army could not carry out fast mobile operations, but when attacking the city, these cannons were definitely called artifacts. Now the artillery If the range shown is obtained by the enemy, the imperial court has no way to limit it, at most it is to use artillery to deal with artillery.

Zeng Yi was very satisfied with the range, and immediately ordered to test the power. The artillery was aimed at 800 meters away, and a section of the city wall was built like a city wall. With a loud noise, the artillery burst out a burst of smoke, and the smoke cleared. Everyone was watching 800 meters away. The city wall a few meters away has already been smashed into a big hole by the artillery.

A smile appeared on Zeng Yi's face, "Continue!"

The artillery used only five shells in total to destroy that section of the city wall. The crowd erupted in cheers instantly, and a naval officer rejoiced and said, "With such power, even the enemy's iron-clad ships can't withstand a few bullets!" The bombardment!"

The other went on to say: "It's not just the navy, the army will carry out siege warfare in the future. It only needs to pull up a few artillery pieces and destroy the enemy to the city wall in minutes!"

"That's right, although the temporarily built city walls are not as good as the city walls of the capital city, they are also much thicker than the walls of ordinary small cities!"

Everyone was very happy, but Zeng Yi immediately poured cold water on them, "Everyone, don't be too happy, you only see the future and range of the artillery, but you don't see the accuracy. Not on the ballista."

"Ah? This..." Everyone looked at Zeng Yi with doubts on their faces. The accuracy of the cannon just now was very good. It was the first time that everyone came into contact with a real cannon, and they were very puzzled as to why Zeng Yi said that.

"This cannon is fixed here. The craftsmen have experimented countless times, and it is naturally very accurate. You will know if you are pulling a cannon!" Zeng Yi waved his hand, and the craftsmen immediately pulled another cannon.

As a result, those guys all frowned. The accuracy of a new artillery was poor, that is, at an approximate distance. At the beginning, several shells were fired, but none of them landed on the target. A few, this hit one.

"Now you know, this kind of accuracy can only be shown by throwing multiple cannons at once to show combat effectiveness! And don't forget, everyone, gunpowder has a huge weakness. It is very afraid of rainy days. Once it hits the water , basically unusable.”

The fourth child also followed Zeng Yi's words and said: "The artillery is powerful, but there must be many relative restrictions. It is impossible to be invincible in the world just by artillery!"

"The two adults are right. This is why we installed so many cannons on the Jiaolong. Only in this way can we ensure the hit rate of the battleship."

The hit rate of smoothbore guns like copper cannons basically depends on blindness. Although they are very powerful, because the shells are solid, they basically rely on smashing them against soldiers, and they can only exert their power when they are equipped with large-scale equipment such as battleships on the opponent's wall." Hey, if only I could make flower bombs."

"The possibility of flowering ammunition is very small. Even if it can be produced, it is definitely not available now. The game company is not so stupid. You must know that the impact of solid shells on players is not great. If the development of flowering ammunition will affect But it’s big, a player has worked hard for so long, and in the end, a lot of casualties are caused by one shot, and the player can definitely tear down the game company.”

"My second son, don't think about other things. It's already pretty good to be able to make this artillery. You're still thinking about explosive ammunition. If you have that skill, you might as well think about rifled guns."

After the artillery experiment was successful, the old eunuch immediately passed the news back to the capital. A group of bigwigs in the capital were overjoyed. There were also [-] elite imperial guards who came together, and those bigwigs in the imperial court were also very worried that weapons like cannons would be taken away by the enemy.

The rewards from the imperial court can not be compared with Zeng Yi and others. The rewards are all those master craftsmen and those veterans of Qin Tianjian. Zeng Yi has no complaints about this, but is very happy. , It must be waiting for them to return to the capital before rewarding them. The rewards returned to the capital are not comparable to those of the masters.

"The gunpowder research has been successful. From the shipyard to the craftsmen, they can be divided into two teams to produce artillery and gunpowder with all their strength." Although artillery has various restrictions, everyone can see that the advantages of artillery definitely outweigh its disadvantages. Mass production of artillery.
