As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

To be honest, from a funny point of view, these two have been quite successful.

The comedy master Chen Peisi, who was all over the world in the past, is funny because his comedies all have a tragic core. After Mr. Chen magnifies it, it becomes his enduring comedy.

Well, to put it bluntly, everyone has the mentality of gloating, so when they see others doing some stupid things that are not as good as sand sculptures, they will probably laugh up and down. The magical operation of a certain literary girl can be described as extremely sad, but Xiu Ze was not at the time. Did you endure it very hard? (Ten high school daily life, I almost laughed out loud when I saw it for the first time)

Therefore, even if the blacksmiths do not look at evil, everyone's peripheral vision is on Huamanlou's side. After seeing the two people fall and fall, some of the group of people strangled their thighs desperately, and some clenched their hands tightly. The lower lip didn't make a sound - Hua Manlou is benefactor, and Qi Wanrong's identity is also very sensitive, can these two people laugh?

Only Xiaodong shouted in his heart: You two don't get lost here, get lost on the couch if you have the ability!

The complaints belonged to the complaints, but Xiaodong still kept his identity firmly in mind, ran to him and helped the dizzy Qi Wanrong while asking with a mournful face, "Miss, are you all right?"

Qi Wanrong covered her head, her face flushed, "No...it's okay..."

"I have something to do!" Hua Manlou also sat up and covered her head, but her expression was very ferocious: "I said you want to play me to death?"

Qi Wanrong wanted to apologize embarrassingly, but when she lowered her head and saw Hua Manlou's face, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Although the expression is ferocious, there was a swollen bump on his forehead, and the two looked very different in comparison." Funny.

"Pfft...I'm sorry...puhaha..." Qi Wanrong's insincere apology made Hua Manlou's face even darker.

But actually...

Qi Wanrong really couldn't help laughing, but what happened just now was too embarrassing, and she didn't know who was right and who was wrong, and who suffered, so she felt that laughing for a while in this situation could avoid many things ——For example, the issue of fame and festivals.

It is a fact that the white rabbit was caught in the chaos just now, and it is also a fact that she threw herself into Huamanlou's arms. Although this incident is an accident that no one wants to happen, if the old scholars really want to talk about it, the one who is wrong must be She, Qi Wanrong - these days, it is very normal to say that the victim is culpable, who told you to behave indiscreetly?

So even though Qi Wanrong's temperament is a little careless, she is deeply poisoned by the values ​​​​of these years, and she just wants to fool it.

As far as Hua Manlou was concerned, he wanted to confuse this matter even more.

I have to say that Qi Wanrong's innocent smile made Huamanlou heave a sigh of relief, after all, he was the one who started the fight just now, and as far as the lucky pervert in anime is concerned, the hero is usually beaten to the point of not being an adult So-he really didn't think about the so-called festival, who made him think in the previous life?

"If you're fine, just stand aside, you're busy!"

Hua Manlou roared angrily, stood up and went to the craftsmen to pretend to be busy, but in fact was to get away from the 'participant of the case' as soon as possible, lest she recover and beat herself into a pig's head...

Seeing this, Qi Wanrong followed Xiaodong to the corner, and when everyone's attention was not on her, she asked Xiaodong with a mournful face: "Is this all my face lost?"

Xiaodong thought about it seriously, nodded and said: "That's right. Miss, after today's news got out, I guess other people won't say anything nice. Miss, it's a matter of fame, it's not like it used to be... ..."

Based on Xiaodong's understanding of Qi Wanrong, she felt that it was appropriate to say that.

As a young girl in this era, how could Qi Wanrong not think about getting married?

What she says is not necessarily true, what she actually shows reveals her inner thoughts: If she really doesn't want to get married, then why can she smash the government offices of others when she hears that she can't get married from Nancheng Qianhu? up?

So Qi Wanrong was on the verge of tears: "I said I was going to hunt, but you insisted on looking for him, now I really can't get married..."

Xiaodong cheered up, and immediately said: "It's not always true. Think about it, miss, if... if you marry Mr. Hua Qian, then no one will make irresponsible remarks in that scene just now..."

"Marry, marry, marry him?" Qi Wanrong couldn't help being startled: "He, he, he is... a rotten person..."

Xiaodong sighed and said: "Miss, it was once, and now is now, do you think Mr. Qian has ever been to a gambling house in the past few months? Not only did he not go, but he was also appreciated by His Majesty in a short period of time. He even appeared in the mansion newspaper, and His Royal Highness is also close friends with him, so is such a young man not worthy of the eldest lady?"

Qi Wanrong was silent.

Seeing this, Xiaodong continued: "Miss, it's time for Mr. Hua Qian to get married now. I heard from the master that there are many adults in the court who want to betroth their daughters and granddaughters to Mr. Qian, even if they are young. He is still a rotten person, do you think who is willing to push his daughter into the fire pit? Even if you don't mention these things, Mr. Qian can be regarded as a person who can get along with the eldest lady, he is much better than those dudes who play like dogs, right? "

To be honest, it's not that Qi Wanrong doesn't have a good impression of Huamanlou.

The first time I met Wan Cheng Yanran in Tianjin Wei, there was already a clue, but the problem was that she didn't understand herself, and most of the people around her were scammers-the most reliable Xiaodong Xiaonan just followed this era. The concept of choosing a mate, instilling in her such things as status and status matching, the girl Huaichun has nothing at all, so even if Qi Wanrong had some germinating thoughts, they extinguished her enthusiasm.

But today's 'intimate' physical contact made Qi Wanrong realize something, because she didn't find it annoying when she was lying on Huamanlou just now, and she still had a feeling of a deer bumping her heart, this...

It can be said that after today's incident, Qi Wanrong finally got a little enlightened. The progress can be said to be extremely rapid, although it is late, but it is...

But the problem is that liking is one thing, and marriage is another, so Qi Wanrong came to her senses after hearing Xiaodong's words. She rolled her eyes at the former and said, "Even if it's not a bad person, my aunt doesn't want to marry." Give it to him, whoever wants to marry will marry!"

Xiaodong froze for a moment, and then became frustrated: Haste makes waste, why are you so impatient?

The dejected Xiaodong didn't notice that Qi Wanrong was a little different. When she said this, she secretly glanced at Huamanlou not far away, and there was a smile on her face...

Xiaodong ignored the fact that weird creatures like young girls usually have duplicity in their mouths, especially the eldest ladies of official families-the kind that say 'the daughter will not marry, she will stay with her father for the rest of her life', which one will not hurt in the end? Happily married?

259. What did you say?I seem to be deaf!

On the other side, seeing Qi Wanrong finally being honest and not planning to beat her up, Hua Manlou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so scary...

Just at that moment, Huamanlou was thinking about which one is more untouchable, the tiger's buttocks or the female tyrannosaur's breasts. If you really think about it, a full-fledged tiger might not bother to talk to you, but the female tyrannosaur's emotions It's largely unpredictable, so the latter is of course scarier in theory.

What's even more frightening is that Huamanlou finally realized that according to the universal values ​​these days, their behavior just now was obviously very bad. ——Although her market is not good now, one yard is worth one yard. There is no doubt about the importance of famous festivals in this era, and it might kill people.

If you don't want to spread the word...

Is it possible?

Those who saw this were not only artisan households, but also some teenagers who came to help from Xishan Qianhu Office, although Huamanlou can order them not to tell this matter, however, 'Tell you a secret , you must not tell other people, 'This kind of story has been seen a lot in Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou thought sadly: I won't be raped by this chick, will I?This girl is loyal, it's okay to be a brother, but you can marry her as a daughter-in-law...

It seems that there is nothing wrong?

Recalling the full touch in the palm of his hand just now, Hua Manlou was in a trance and was a little distracted—a man who can't be distracted is generally either a psychological problem or a factory owner.

Xu Dacheng:? ? ?

For men, it is normal to eat from the bowl and look at the pot. The difference is that some people uphold the integrity and can control their lower body, while others are unscrupulous. When I go back, I will also imagine that the person next to me can change, or can hug left and right—or most people like to read harem stallion novels?

Moreover, most men have no resistance to girls with hot bodies. When they meet a beautiful girl on the street, everyone's eyes are all down. Although it makes everyone look superficial, what the hell is that Biological instinct, do you understand instinct?

Thinking about these things, Huaman downstairs subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Qi Wanrong not far away, but met her gaze abruptly, and then...

The two quickly looked away, one with an embarrassed expression, and the other with a romantic expression.

"Engong, it's time to test the gun." At this moment, an old blacksmith approached Hua Manlou, interrupting his charming fantasy.

That's right, it's a charming fantasy, who hasn't had a moment of distraction?

"Ah... oh, let's start." Hua Manlou forcibly drove the little bit of beauty out of his mind, and hypnotized himself: I still have Miss Baimao, I can't let her down, can I?

Following Hua Manlou's order, the two groups got busy nervously. The first thing to try was the siege cannon on the left.

From Hua Manlou's point of view, this cannon is a bit like the Urban cannon that captured Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, in the data map seen in previous lives. A terrifying weapon, but as far as Da Zhao is concerned, it is already very exaggerated. If it is really successful, then this thing must be Da Zhao's number one weapon.

By the way, the Urban Cannon was manufactured in 1452. According to Huamanlou, it is roughly around the present era. The cannon is 20 meters long, the thickness of the barrel is about 762 cm, and the caliber is [-]mm. mm, it is really possible to drill a person in, and the overall look is the same as the thick sewer pipe on the fucking construction site.

In contrast, the cannon made by Xishan is more than four meters in length, the thickness of the barrel is more than ten centimeters, and the diameter exceeds 400mm. Although it is a few models smaller than the Urban cannon, in terms of material , is definitely much more advanced than the Urban cannon - most of the materials for casting cannons in this era are bronze, and after Xishan has mastered more advanced smelting technology, he will naturally use safer metals.

It is worth mentioning that the urban cannon uses solid granite shells with a range of about three miles, but the shells of the gun in front of it are special iron balls. It has considerable advantages. After all, it is a customized item. The fit between the shell and the barrel will be stronger, so it is estimated that the range will be longer, and...

Clever craftsmen applied Purdue's technology to shells.

They poured two hemispheres and spliced ​​them together, then filled the ball with gunpowder and made a special twist. The idea was to delay the explosion of the iron ball so that the shell could cause secondary damage after it hit the ground.

This method is similar to fireworks, and there is not much difficulty in technology-there is the Pudu, which is full of flowers, and the artisans can make this thing?If nothing else, this is roughly the earliest howitzer in the world.

Although the gun moved with great difficulty, and the men had to use logs and crowbars to move it, the caliber alone showed that the power of this thing was proportional to its bulkiness.Moreover, even though the blacksmiths who cast this cannon still adhere to the idea of ​​casting copper cannons, it is a good thing to have ideas. Isn't the progress of science and technology just stepping on the shoulders of the predecessors?

After a few big-bodied blacksmiths laboriously loaded the gunpowder and shells, Hua Manlou immediately hid in a specially dug trench, covered his ears, and then nodded towards them to light the fire—just look at the charge The amount is scary enough, if this thing explodes, it will be fatal if you don't hide well.

The craftsmen knew the pros and cons of it, and they twisted the medicine for a long time.After everyone hid, the blacksmith who lit the fire ignited the twister, quickly dropped the torch and jumped into the trench, and then...

Then everyone covered their ears, exposed half of their heads and looked quietly at the giant cannon, but there was no movement there after a long while.

Some people hesitantly put down their hands that blocked their ears. Seeing this, Hua Manlou wondered, "Is the fire out?"

"Maybe... no, maybe it's because the medicine is twisted too long and burns too slowly..." The team leader of the cannon team who accompanied Hua Manlou explained awkwardly, just as he was about to get up to check the situation...

boom!

It's not that Huamanlou has never heard a loud noise, but he has never heard such a movement at all. At that moment, the sound of the explosion hit like a real sound wave, and immediately everyone present seemed to have been hit by a stick. I feel like I can't hear anything.

Hua Manlou was also a little dizzy from the shock, the movement of this thing is too loud!

Even though he knew that this group of people was making long-term medicines for the sake of safety, Hua Manlou couldn't help but want to scold them: What the hell is this?Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred!

Amidst the huge explosion, the big iron egg, which took two or three strong men to complete the filling, was shot out of the barrel safely, and rushed towards the cliff three miles away with a whistling sound. The cannonball smashed into the mountain fiercely, followed by another loud noise...

boom!

The explosion of the cannonball caused a large area of ​​the cliff to collapse, and the ground trembled faintly. The explosion raised a large cloud of smoke and dust, and the rubble from the mountain splashed everywhere, and some even flew not far in front of Huamanlou.

Although Huamanlou couldn't see the situation on the other side of the cliff clearly because of the distance and the large amount of smoke and dust, but just by looking at the movement, he knew that there was no city wall in Dazhao that could block the cannonball—speaking of which, this group of crazy people The imaginary target of the craftsmen tinkering with this cannon is the city wall of the capital. Visually, they have achieved their goal. This thing is so powerful!

You must know that the granite shells used by the Urban Cannon back then caused a lot of movement. Although Hua Manlou did not know the specifications of the walls of Constantinople, most of the fortresses and castles nowadays are The huge stones are extremely thick, so the city walls of the Byzantine capital are estimated to be not much worse than the capital city walls.

Granite cannonballs can smash down city walls, and can even cause huge damage. If you change the cannonballs to iron and still be able to explode, although the caliber is a little smaller, the effect is definitely not bad, and the lethality is even greater. .

I can't see the situation in the distance, but I can still see it up close: the gun mount of the big iron gun of unknown number of tons has been reinforced and most of it is buried in the ground, and there are many holes on the ground. Wooden stakes were used to fix the gun body, but these things didn't seem to have much effect. The huge recoil force made the cannon stunned to plow a trench on the ground - thanks to the fact that the gun body and the ground were at an angle when the gun was fired just now and the cannon There was no one standing behind, otherwise the recoil alone would have caused a large number of casualties.

Hua Manlou slowed down, pointed at the giant cannon and said, "Quick, go and see if there is any problem with the cannon body!"

If the barrel of the cannon cracked after one shot, then the thing was a failure.Although the power is huge, who would spend a lot of money, material and manpower to make such a thing just to fire a shot?

Seeing Hua Manlou's mouth moving, the old blacksmith next to him kept asking loudly, "What did Mr. Benedict say? I seem to be deaf!"

Hua Manlou: "..."

For the first time, I found out that this group of seemingly reliable blacksmiths is actually quite tricky!

Although everyone is in a state of temporary deafness, everyone still knows what they should do. After recovering, a group of blacksmiths began to clean the gun barrel and check the gun body in an orderly manner. Hua Manlou led a few people to get on the horse , go to the bottom of the cliff to check the situation.

Although he saw the commotion here from a distance, when he saw the power of the cannon from a close distance, Hua Manlou still took a breath.

The shell was smashed deeply into the mountain before it exploded. The point of impact turned into a huge pit. Huge cracks formed on the rocky mountain. From time to time, large and small stones fell from the cliff. It made the crowd dare not get too close to check.

It can be seen that although the sentence "Caliber is justice, range is truth" has elements of ridicule, but this sentence can be said to have summed up the essence of human beings to a certain extent—whether it is Urban or the blacksmith of Xishan , They are extremely similar in the pursuit of explosive power, and they have done similar things. The only difference is whether it is the unknown cliff of the Western Mountain or the city wall of Constantinople, and these two places are still the same. all collapsed...

Hua Manlou slandered while leading the people back to the original place. At this moment, the craftsmen had also finished checking the giant cannon and reported to Hua Manlou that there was no problem with the cannon body, and it could still be used.

This is considered a successful research and development, although this thing is actually not suitable for mass production, and there is still a huge inconvenience in using it, but at least it is a success, right?

In fact, this type of cannon is the cannon installed on the warships of the Great Navigation Era. The difference is that the cannons on the warships are relatively small, and the shells are not so particular.Then the next thing to do is to scale it down, and find a way to solve the problem of recoil, and then try to install it on the ship.

But before that, Hua Manlou is actually looking forward to another cannon. This is a new cannon fired by the innovation team. I don't know if it will be a little surprise?

260. Carriage gun

The first test firing of the traditional group was quite successful, so the old blacksmith who was the temporary team leader couldn't help but beam with joy, and winked at the team leader of the innovation team beside him. His eyes clearly said: With your small gun barrel, it is enough Can't you see?

To be honest, although the new cannons of the other group are somewhat novel in shape, in terms of superficial power, they are really not comparable to the cannons of the traditional group.Nowadays, most of the blacksmiths in Xishan believe that the caliber is the truth, so most people really don't think that this small cannon that looks quite delicate can have much power.

The leader of the innovation team gave the old blacksmith an angry look, and started his performance under Hua Manlou's signal.

He did not directly test fire like the former, but first asked four or five people to lift the cannon and fix it on a special cart, and then explained to Huamanlou: "Gongong, I thought that the cannon is a Things don’t have to be fixed in the same place all the time. Look, benefactor, with this cart, you can pull it away with any horse you want, and you can fight with the army. Moreover, this cart can adjust the direction of the gun body, And... and the up and down directions..."

Seeing how hard he was explaining, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "You mean the angle of elevation?"

"Yes, yes, Engong is really knowledgeable." The team leader flattered the situation, and then continued: "With this elevation angle, this cannon can not only bombard nearby targets, but also bombard distant targets Target."

While talking, the group leader picked up a stone from the ground, and said with gestures: "Look, benefactor, if you throw a stone with the same force, if you throw it flat, the distance will be closer, but if there is an angle of elevation, the stone will be closer." Can throw away a lot..."

Hua Manlou: "...Well, I understand the truth, and I guess I understand it better than you..."

Huamanlou really didn't expect that in this era, he could show him a parabola intuitively, and try to explain its function clumsily. In that case, although these craftsmen can't read, their life experience And wisdom is real, and they are also good at using these experiences, even though they don't know the principle of parabola at all, and they can't come up with a "geomagnetism theory" like Zhao Ren.

In addition, the part of the team leader explaining the demonstration to Hua Manlou is the most valuable part of the cannon in his opinion. After all, most of the cannons nowadays are fixed on the city walls and are dedicated to defending the city—even if the previous group made The giant cannon that was released was supposed to be the city wall of the capital as the imaginary enemy, but they knew very well that the giant cannon was not suitable for movement at all.

The innovation group is different. They feel that the limitations of the fixed artillery are too large. In addition to the problem of movement, the shooting direction and elevation angle cannot be adjusted, which makes the attack range of the artillery very narrow—even if it is powerful, it can hit What's the use of not hitting?

Therefore, the basis of the innovation team's conception is to apply this gun to actual combat. The specific imaginary enemy is the prairie people, and they also made special grenades for this gun.

In their conception, the function of this kind of artillery is to fall behind the gunmen. When facing the prairie people, adjust the elevation angle according to the distance of their charge, and launch a saturated bombing first, and then go to the gunmen after blowing them to half. How else can we say that the wisdom of the working people is infinite. How long has it been since these blacksmiths came to Xishan, and they have begun to combine actual wars to create big killers.

Listening to the team leader's explanation, Hua Manlou nodded in satisfaction, and did not point out any obvious problems. From Hua Manlou's point of view, there are many details that need to be adjusted in this cannon. Adjusting the recoil after adjusting the elevation angle requires more work, but it is very rare for them to have this idea, so he didn't say anything, just waiting for them to find out.

After some introductions, Hua Manlou asked, "You haven't tried this cannon yet, have you? Do you have a rough estimate of the range?"

The team leader scratched his head: "This... I don't know if I haven't tried it, but I guess it must be farther than their door?"

After developing the long and short guns, the general consensus of Xishan blacksmiths is that the longer the barrel, the longer the shooting range-they still have this observation ability, so the innovation team spared no effort when developing this gun. It was made longer, so although the caliber of this cannon may not be the size of the mouth of a bowl, it is more than three meters long.

Hua Manlou thought for a while, and then said: "First fire a cannon to test the power, then move back two miles later and try again."

The craftsman agreed and motioned to the blacksmith waiting beside the cannon to start testing the cannon.

A group of people got busy nervously. They quickly fixed the cart, then aimed the muzzle at the cliff, loaded the ammunition, and ignited the knives.

What is certain is that the movement this time is not as earth-shattering as before, and the power of the artillery is not as scary as that giant cannon, but this artillery still caused a lot of damage-this is the horror of howitzers. You can tell from the hole on the cliff that this is true. People and animals cannot live within three meters.
