I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 157 The Arrival of the Fire Gun
"Back then when His Highness was attacked on the way back to the north, the guards in the Junhou's Mansion killed all directions with only twenty nine-star crossbows in their hands, so that the lower officials and even the entire Tingwei Mansion were envious for a long time."

Chen Boyan suddenly mentioned that Fusu was attacked, words like Jiuxing Liannu immediately brought back Li Yu's past events.

And thinking of asking people from the Tingwei Mansion to collect the corpse, Li Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "If this Marquis hadn't said in front of His Majesty the First Emperor that the Nine-Star Liannu cannot be mass-produced. The gate has long been broken down by Mr. Chen's people."

Hearing Li Yu's answer, Chen Boyan became more and more certain that the sentence "Nine-Star Liannu cannot be mass-produced" is nothing more than a lie fabricated by Li Yu.

Although I don't know what purpose Li Yu considered, he would choose the nine-star continuous crossbow that was painstakingly developed by the craftsmen of the empire, but it was cut in half as soon as it came out.

But Chen Boyan is a transparent person, he knows what to ask and what not to ask.

For things, Chen Boyan has always adhered to the principle of seizing the day and night, so he has been sitting in the office of the Tingwei Mansion for many years.

Now Li Yu asked someone to develop a sharp weapon similar to the Nine-Star Liannu, and he personally admitted that the target audience was the army.

Then the first batch of armaments will be settled, and it will be necessary to fight.

Thinking of this, Chen Boyan's mind became active, and he couldn't help laughing: "Master Hou is joking, the nine-star crossbow is too domineering, and it won't be beautiful if it is widely used."

Li Yu nodded, and replied: "That's right, at the beginning, Ben Hou considered that there would be a greater risk in the promotion of the Liannu, so he put it on hold.

Moreover, the nine-star continuous crossbow is expensive to manufacture, and the complicated process is also the problem, and it is not suitable for military deployment. "

As soon as these words were uttered, Li Yu's original remarks were self-defeating. Chen Boyan had an expression of being as expected, and thought: The army is not suitable for deployment, so the case investigators in this government are suitable. It's a pity.

Chen Boyan sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't feel disappointed on his face. Instead, he changed his expectant expression and said, "No wonder Lord Junhou asked someone to develop a new weapon."

"This is usually where Zilong and the others spar. It should be spacious. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the new weapons will accidentally injure the servants later."

After finishing speaking, Li Yu ignored Chen Boyan and took the "clairone" that Feng Yansheng handed over to him.

It is said to be "black pipe", but it is actually the name Feng Yansheng's craftsmen gave to this strangely shaped object like a fire stick.

In Li Yu's words, this should actually be called "fire gun", or "fire tube".It was originally a product of the Yuan Dynasty, but now it was brought to the Qin Dynasty by Li Yu early.

Seeing Feng Yansheng, the worker who had been involved in the research and development of the "fire blunderbuss", he was stunned. He didn't know the magical function of this bronze object that looked like a black bamboo tube.

Li Yu couldn't help explaining: "In Ben Hou's words, it's called a fire gun, and it's also called a hand gun. Of course, you can also call him a clarinet."

"The reason why the bronze casting body is used is to withstand the chamber pressure generated by the burning of black powder, and to be able to fill more gunpowder and heavier projectiles, thereby increasing the power of the firearm."

Firearms?

Pistol?

firearm?

After Li Yu's brief introduction, Feng Yansheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he said in surprise: "So that's the case, I've realized it."

Li Yu couldn't help being taken aback, then smiled and said, "Tell me, what did you realize?"

Hearing that Li Yu wanted to test himself, Feng Yansheng couldn't help standing up straight, and said in a serious voice: "This container called a firecracker was divided into three parts by Lord Hou, so it is not difficult to guess that one of the parts is used for The one filled with black powder, that is, the spherical part in the middle of the barrel."

Seeing Li Yu nodding his head, Feng Yansheng became more self-confident: "The pellets are loaded in the front of the barrel, which is the so-called front breech. In this way, you only need to deflagrate with the gunpowder-filled chamber at the back, and you It can knock out the projectile balls installed in the front chamber, so as to cause lethality."

Hearing that Feng Yansheng almost completely explained the principle and structure of the firecracker, Li Yu immediately beamed with joy and said, "Yes, your understanding is almost exactly the same as what Benhou wants to say next."

Feng Yansheng was praised by Li Yu, not to mention how happy he was, so he said excitedly: "Master Hou's design ideas are really amazing, and I will benefit a lot from this."

Li Yu grinned, patted Feng Yansheng on the shoulder and said: "As the saying goes, if you do a good job in advance, you must first sharpen your weapon. Seeing Master Feng's enthusiasm for research and development, you can foresee that the future Daqin will surely flourish .”

Chen Boyan listened in confusion, but after Feng Yansheng said this, he also had a general outline of the firecracker in his heart.

Then he opened his mouth and asked: "Master Junhou, can you let the officials come and try this novelty?"

"Master Chen, although this thing won't explode, you must always hold the tail well, so that you don't accidentally injure others by slipping your hand."

Li Yu's other people here are actually referring to himself. After all, Li Yu still cherishes his life.

As soon as Li Yu agreed to his request, Chen Boyan immediately burst into joy, and said with a wrinkled smile, "Don't worry, Lord Hou. Don't worry about anything else. I, Chen Boyan, think I'm quite capable at wielding knives and swords."

After finishing speaking, Chen Boyan picked up a "black pipe" from the chopping board beside him, imitated Li Yu's example, filled the gunpowder with gunpowder, twisted the fire wire, and filled it with projectile beads.

While Li Yu watched Chen Boyan's steps carefully from the side, seeing Chen Boyan doing it easily, Li Yu smiled and said: "Master Chen is a quick learner."

Chen Boyan was taken aback when he heard the words, then he laughed loudly and said: "This firecracker is easy to use, but I don't know how powerful it is."

After speaking, Li Yu couldn't react.Chen Boyan immediately picked up an incense stick and lit the fire wire.

After all, it was the first time that a firearm with lethality was developed. Li Yu's mood can be imagined, and he was really a little apprehensive.

It took only three or two breaths for the fire wire to ignite to the medicine storage room.

Chen Boyan also nervously clenched the tail of the firecracker, the heat-insulating handle called the tail.

Chi~ bang!
There was a sudden loud noise, accompanied by the huge thrust from his arm, Chen Boyan couldn't help shivering.

"This? Is it over?"

Feng Yansheng watched carefully from the side, and also questioned: "So fast?"

It took only a blink of an eye from Chen Boyan to ignite the fire to the loud bang just now, which really made the two of them unbelievable.

"What do Master Chen think of this firecracker?"

Li Yu looked at Chen Boyan with a half-smile and asked.

Chen Boyan couldn't help exhaling, and said: "The movement of this thing is too big, but I don't know how powerful it is."

Feng Yansheng looked at the wooden stake where the armor was placed without saying a word, and said: "If you want to know the power, Mr. Chen will know it at a glance."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Boyan couldn't bear his curiosity and walked to the stake.

When he saw that the front chest of the military armor was full of bean-sized holes, Chen Boyan said with an incredulous expression: "The power of the firecracker is so terrifying..."
