The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 673
After Luo Yi finished explaining the military deployment of all parties, the generals immediately became excited.This gathering of 60 troops is the first time in ten years.Such a large force makes them feel proud and stressed.With so many peers competing with him, it would be even more difficult to stand out.

Lin Yifan was also very nervous at this time, the three-way army was 60, plus the troops stationed in various places, the total strength exceeded 150 million.If such a large-scale use of troops fails to determine the Central Plains, the military prestige that Tianhua has built up over the years will be severely weakened.As a result, all countries in the Quartet developed ambitions for Tianhua.

Therefore, Lin Yifan opened his mouth and said: "My dear friends, this time the Southern Expedition, we must not underestimate the enemy. We must not lose this battle."

"Your Majesty will never disappoint His Majesty's high expectations." Everyone immediately shouted in unison.

Therefore, Lin Yifan signed and sealed the plan drawn up by Luo Yi, ordering all parties to step up the arrangement.

After the Great Court Conference ended, Lin Yifan came to Gewu Academy. Before that, he had heard that Li Nanguang, the director of Gewu, had developed a new type of musket.Therefore, I came here in a hurry, just to quickly understand the power of this musket.

"Bang!" I saw a cloud of smoke bursting out from a white wall 50 meters away.

Everyone quickly walked over to observe, and found that a small hole was punched in the wall, half a finger deep.

Lin Yifan put away his musket and looked at the gun in his hand. This gun was about 1.3 meters long, quite similar to the shotgun he had seen.However, the guns developed by Gewuyuan are much more powerful than shotguns.It uses a flintlock device instead of the previous method of lighting with a matchlock.At the same time, the bullets were also changed into cones, which were inserted from the breech, which made the rate of fire much faster at once.

Lin Yifan felt quite satisfied with the test just now.Immediately asked: "Dean Li, what is the lethality of this musket at 50 meters?"

"Your Majesty, this musket can penetrate armor at a distance of 50 meters. Even heavy cavalry cannot resist the penetration of bullets." Li Nanguang said confidently.

"Try it." Naturally, Lin Yifan would not just listen to his family.

Immediately, someone put the armor dedicated to the heavy cavalry on the stake 50 meters away.This shooting will be handed over to a shooter from the Shenji Battalion for experimentation.

There was only a "bang", and at the same time, the armor on the opposite side also made a sharp sound.When everyone lifted the armor over, they suddenly found a hole in its left shoulder, which penetrated completely.

"Okay, good, good." Lin Yifan nodded in satisfaction, and continued to ask: "I wonder how far this gun can shoot?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, this gun has a range of about 150 meters, but at that distance, it is not very powerful." Li Nanguang said with a smile, "If it is 100 meters, it can kill the enemy without armor. In fact, the effective range is about 80 meters. About [-] meters, beyond this range, the accuracy of shooting will be severely reduced. The effectiveness of killing will also be reduced.”

"Well, seven or eighty meters is not far or close." Lin Yifan nodded, "I wonder how many times this gun can shoot in a short period of time?"

"Your Majesty, you can probably shoot five times." Li Nanguang thought carefully before answering.

"Five times, it's a bit slow." Lin Yifan shook his head slightly, this moment is actually about 1 minute, playing 1 times in [-] minute is indeed a bit slow.

Hearing this, Li Nanguang couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, the speed of this musket has been improved after being improved. However, we have not yet been able to make a self-propelled bullet. When firing, it needs to be filled with gunpowder to generate Thrust. At the same time, the launcher needs to wipe the surface of the flint after each shot to remove gunpowder residue. Therefore, the shooting time can only be delayed again and again, and it is difficult to achieve your majesty’s goal.”

"I see, you should continue to study and try to solve the problem of bullets and gunpowder burial methods as soon as possible." Lin Yifan nodded and encouraged: "President Li, I will order someone to make this new musket One thousand rods will be used for combat during the Southern Expedition. You can send researchers to accompany the army to take advantage of this actual combat opportunity to find out the defects of the musket for future improvement.”

"I obey the order." Li Nanguang bowed deeply.

After visiting the other research results of the Gewu Institute, Lin Yifan came to the military factory to inspect the current production progress of the military equipment.

Han Santie followed Lin Yifan cautiously while reporting: "Your Majesty, in order to meet the supplies and armor needed by the 60 army, the military factories in various places are currently working overtime. It is expected that this month will be able to produce With one-fifth of the amount, the task can be successfully completed in about half a year."

Lin Yifan nodded, "That's good. Is there anything else I need you to do? Just now I went to the Gewuyuan and saw their newly improved muskets. I need to make a thousand muskets. It's up to you to do it."

Han Santie thought for a while, although this would slow down the production progress, but fortunately, the production of this musket is not too large-scale, and some manpower and material resources should be allocated for production, so Dang even nodded in agreement.

Then, Lin Yifan asked again: "I remember that you are making hot air balloons, how is the progress now?"

"Your Majesty, I just want to report this matter to you." Han Santie showed excitement on his face, "Just a few days ago, we happened to test a batch of new hot air balloons, which can suspend 300 meters in the air. If three people go up at the same time, they can only support for more than two hours."

"Really?" Lin Yifan couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, "Come on, take me to have a look."

So, everyone came to a valley, which was Tianhua's secret testing ground for testing new weapons.

At this moment, in front of Lin Yifan's eyes was a huge spherical body that was being heated. When it was fully stretched, it formed a hot air balloon with a height of more than 30 meters and a width of about 25 meters.Under it, a huge basket was tied, big enough for three people.

Looking at this hot air balloon, Lin Yifan couldn't help but feel eager to try it. Even in modern times, he had never sat in such a thing.It would also be a great pleasure to be able to travel above the nine heavens and enjoy the mountains and rivers.

However, when Lin Yifan proposed to go up to have a look, not only Han Santie, but also Niu Dali was frightened and tried his best to dissuade him.This hot air balloon is still not 100% safe. If something happens after His Majesty goes up, wouldn't it be a capital offense to wait for others?
Lin Yifan saw that everyone looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, so he knew that it was impossible for him to try.Immediately, I had no choice but to say bitterly: "We can make a batch of these hot air balloons first, and transport them to the garrisons in various places as a warning. In the future, we will do more research and strive to further increase their height, durability, and loading weight."

"I obey the order." Han Santie responded quickly.
