Hailong sat in a car with Miomi and Zhishui, and as soon as they got into the car, Miomi said in a voice: “Dragon, why do you have to test the cannon? Didn’t you find the expression of the Great God Moha a little unpleasant?”

海龙微微一笑，道：“老婆，你要记住，只有实力才能证明一切。虽然魔哈他们在我师傅的威压下放弃了攻打中原的想法。但魔哈野心极大，就算他不发动攻击，等以后他度劫之后，他的手下也同样会有侵占中原的想法。毕竟，中原地大物博，是一块大肥肉。我这次要求试炮，主要就是想震慑住他们。而且，我也确实有心为赵宋国研究出一样威力强大的武器，这样，就算不攻敌，自保也足足有余了。”

由于距离很近，以止水的修为自然听到了两人的谈话，道：“海龙，最近你的修为是不是增加了？”

海龙一楞，道：“师姐为什么问这个。我的修为是有些进步，可能是因为师傅帮我重塑身体时产生的作用吧。现在应该有不坠后期了。”

止水摇了摇头，道：“没什么，只是我觉得越来越看不透你了。不过，有件事我要提醒你。我们身为修真者，神州上凡人的事还是少管为妙，否则，世俗之心太重，会对你的修为有很大影响。”

海龙第一次发现止水居然会关心自己，和飘渺对视一眼，道：“谢谢师姐的提醒，等待会儿看完试炮，我们就立刻回起程回山吧。”

马车不但速度快，而且极为平稳，经过半个小时左右，众人已经出了西城门。下了马车，呈现在众人面前的，是一块空旷的场地，放眼望去，周围方圆数十里内都是空旷的平原，连植物都很少有。

赵风骑着一匹高头大马来到海龙身前，翻身下马，兴奋的道：“殿下，您请跟我来吧。这里是我们的校军场，平日里操练军马都在此处。”在赵风和二百名士兵的簇拥下，众人来到了校军场一侧，一门巨大的火炮呈现在他们面前。火炮高约两米，敦厚的炮身占据了十平米左右的地方，三米长的炮管向远方伸出，通体黑黝黝的，带着些森然的感觉。

Zhao Feng explained: “This giant artillery requires 6,000 kilograms of refined iron to be made into one, and the craftsmanship is extremely demanding, and there can be no gaps. The shells with a diameter of 35 centimeters are used. Within five kilometers. , It can be said to be invincible and extremely explosive. Come, present the cannonball.” At his order, two soldiers came over with a round black cannonball. On the surface, it looked like a big iron bullet, heavy. Zhao Feng said: “After our many experiments, this shell was formed. Your Majesty, the shell looks like a solid iron shell. In fact, it is not. In the shell, there is a large amount of compressed fire. The whole shell weighs 80 kilograms. , Of which 50 catties of fire were fired by artillery, and the power of the explosion is now three times greater than when it was first developed. Once the bombardment is removed, hundreds of square meters will be covered. If the enemy is densely formed, hundreds of people will be wiped out. It will never be a problem.”

Hailong took the cannonball from the soldier, squeezed it in his hand, and said, “That is to say, this thing will explode as soon as it hits the ground after it is fired by artillery, right?”

Zhao Feng nodded and said, “The principle is like this. In the barrel, we have a booster. This is the thing that occupies the most volume and is the most laborious to make. Fill the booster with fire and once it explodes, It will generate extremely strong thrust, push this shell out, and then explode, with great power.”

Hailong nodded and said, “Then let’s start, let us also appreciate the power of your artillery.”

Zhao Feng nodded excitedly, and the commander started to fill the fire. After ten minutes, the fire was filled. The soldiers put the shell into the barrel and ignited the fuse after Zhao Feng gave an order. “Boom–” The loud noise was deafening, and the huge cannonball rushed out from a distance, pierced the sky, and fell to the ground.

A small cloud of dust splashed in the distance, and everything seemed to be over. The magic froze for a moment, and then he laughed, “Is this your artillery? It’s just a trebuchet that is farther away. It consumes so much fine iron, what a waste!”

Zhao Feng’s face was extremely ugly, he glanced at the indifferent Hailong, and said in a low voice: “I’m sorry, your majesty, this shell may be made of a thick wall. So it failed to explode. Please allow me to try another one. “Hailong said: “General Zhao Feng, what is the probability that your shells will explode successfully?”

Zhao Feng said, “There is a success rate of about 80%. Come and add another one.” Another ten minutes passed. At Zhao Feng’s order, the artillery went off and the second shell was hit by a loud noise. Hit it far away. “Boom–” The ground under everyone’s feet trembled violently, a huge sound that had never been heard before, a huge firelight lit up in the distance, smog and mud filled the air, looking from where Hailong and the others were standing. , The power of this gun covers nearly a thousand square meters. Zhao Feng blinked. He didn’t expect that the power would suddenly become so great. He hesitated and said, “This is almost double the power. Your Majesty, it may be that we are too lucky. This second shell should It happened to explode on the first one, so it has such a powerful power.”

Moha, Soto, and Ula are completely stunned. Although they are naturally not afraid of artillery attacks with their cultivation bases, in addition to the extremely powerful monsters in southern Xinjiang, ordinary monsters cannot be restrained at this level. s attack. Even if tens of thousands of monsters were deployed to attack the city, it would be difficult to break through this powerful artillery blockade.

Hailong thought for a while, and said, “General Zhao, I think this artillery has a great disadvantage.”

Zhao Feng was shocked. He was full of affection for these artillery pieces. Hearing Hailong’s denial at this time, a trace of unhappiness rose in his heart. With a big weapon, why are there still ills?”

Hailong smiled slightly, and said, “The general, don’t worry, listen to me. First of all, it’s impossible to guarantee that all of your cannonballs will be able to exert their power, and although this type of artillery has a high attack power, it takes too much to cast one. Too much raw materials and time can be said to be a waste of money. At the same time, it takes too long to install the artillery. I ask you, if the enemy is a fast cavalry and rushes to the city from five kilometers away, how many times can your artillery fire? I think, it should be no more than three times at most. If the enemy is attacking by a large army, although artillery can cause considerable damage to them, it will not play a decisive role in the war. Once the city is broken, these precious artillery will become The enemy’s spoils. We don’t want this kind of weapon.”

After listening to Hailong’s analysis, Zhao Feng couldn’t help breaking into a cold sweat. The ills Hailong said hit the nail on the head. It is true that although the artillery is powerful, the enemy can’t stay there and make you bombard.

With a slight smile, Hailong continued: “I have an idea. If this idea can be successfully tested, we will truly have a powerful artillery. First of all, the size of this artillery is too big. Just now, you said it is mainly for boosting. The device is complicated. In fact, I think this problem can be solved easily. First of all, the shell does not need to be that big, and the outer iron shell can be made thinner.”

Zhao Feng doubted: “But if the shell of the shell is thin, it is very likely that it will explode in the barrel!”

Hailong said: “Let me finish. The thin iron shell is not the main thing, the most important thing is the booster problem. General Zhao, I ask you, if there is no booster, how much raw material can this artillery save?” Zhao Feng’s eyes lit up and he said without hesitation: “At least two-thirds can be saved.”

Hailong said with confidence: “The booster is nothing more than the force of the fire and explosion to send out the cannonball. If we make the booster directly on the cannonball, won’t we save the process of manufacturing the booster? And loading the bomb. The time will also be greatly shortened. The connection between a serve and a serve will definitely not exceed one minute. I think so.” As he said, Hailong squatted down and drew a cone shape on the ground with his fingers. Then after the cone shape, I drew a square again, “I thought about it just now. Now because the shell is round, when it hits the ground, it has a large area of force, so it may not explode. The shell is made into a cone shape, not only can the rear end more withstand the thrust of the booster, but when it hits the ground, the tip is facing downwards and can explode almost 100%. You see, General Zhao, this cube at the back is what I call the booster. This thing can be made stronger, and filled with fire yao. Then connect it to the warhead. The connection should not be too tight. In the connection place, a very thick iron plate must be used. In this way, the booster behind will explode. The force generated by the time can completely push the warhead out.”

Zhao Feng’s eyes were bright, and he said in a sincere heart: “His Royal Highness, you are really a good way. If you have tried it, you might really succeed.”

Hailong smiled and said: “I haven’t finished yet, and I feel that since fire can erupt during an impact, there is no need to use a fuze. That’s slow and unsafe. You can design a thing that can be used as a cannon. At the time, directly hit the back of the booster, so that the shell can be launched instantly. It is best to design a port on the barrel, so that the abandoned booster after the explosion is more convenient to take out, which can be greatly improved. Reduce loading time. If successful, the weight of the entire artillery will be reduced. As long as it is equipped with two wheels that look like a carriage, it can become a mobile weapon. Once a few hundred doors are created, the cavalry of Yuanmeng It’s a fart, you can kill them all before you get there. However, what I’m talking about is just an idea. It will take a long time for you to experiment to see how thick the iron walls of the gun barrels and shells are. I am afraid it will take a long time to study, everything depends on you.”

Zhao Feng stared at Hailong blankly. After a while, he suddenly fell to his knees with a thump, and said in tears: “His Royal Highness, Zhao Fengfu, you are indeed the king of my Zhao Song country. Once this is imagined, If successful, then we, Zhao Songguo, will surely become the number one power in China! Your Highness, thank you, thank you.”

Hailong lifted up Zhao Feng and smiled and said, “What’s to be thankful for. I just think the artillery thing is very interesting, so I boldly imagined it, you let go and do it. If it succeeds, this mobile artillery will become Zhao Song. The country’s secret weapon. When the time comes, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

Moha coughed and said, “Brother Hailong, you are not going to destroy our southern Xinjiang. If the artillery you said can have the power just now, you can really make a few hundred doors, even if it takes us south. It’s not impossible for Xinjiang to be flattened!” After hearing Hailong’s words, a sense of fear arose in his hearts, Soto and Wula. This kind of weapon is really terrible.

Hailong smiled and said: “Brother Moha, don’t worry. Although this artillery is very powerful, it is extremely difficult to transport even if my idea is successful, and it requires a lot of raw materials to manufacture. Even those fire yao are not easy. Get a lot. Southern Xinjiang is mountainous and not suitable for artillery. You don’t have to worry about it. As long as Nanjiang doesn’t take the initiative to launch an attack on Zhao Songguo, I guarantee that Zhao Songguo will not deal with you.”

Moha’s expression relaxed slightly, looking at the artillery, still showing a worried look. Hailong has achieved the desired effect, and he is in a good mood, and said to Zhao Feng: “General Zhao, since you think my idea is feasible, let’s organize people to study it as soon as possible. We still have things to do, so we won’t stay here any longer, yellow letter! Go back to the imperial city and report to Zhao Ji as soon as possible to find me in the Lianyun Mountain. Maybe I won’t stay there for too long.”

Huang Han responded respectfully: “Yes, Master.”

Hailong turned to look at the three great gods of southern Xinjiang who were still thinking about artillery, and smiled and said: “Go, let’s start. From here to Lianyun Mountain, there is a long way.” In Zhao Feng and his soldiers Under the startled gaze, various clouds floated up, and in a flash, they disappeared into the distant sky with Hailong and others.

Looking at the backs of Hailong and others, Zhao Feng muttered: “One word side by side, Wang Zhen is a god and man, presumably, he is God’s gift to us Zhao Song Kingdom.”

Huang Han smiled and said: “General Zhao, your research must be carried out as soon as possible. If it succeeds, it will be a great contribution! Your Majesty will be greatly commended at that time.”

Zhao Feng sighed lightly, and said: “It doesn’t matter if you award it, but I really like the artillery thing. I really hope that the idea of the word side by side of the king can succeed.”
