The new firearms that Li Liangzuo wanted to draw were actually firearms and artillery, and they were the two most primitive firearms; Li Liangzuo improved on the original firecracker, which was similar in appearance to a rifle, and already somewhat similar to an arquebus, and the reason why it was also called a firecracker was because it was basically a small iron stick with a hole punched in the middle; The artillery designed by Li Liangzuo is actually an enlarged version of the firecracker.
The next morning, Li Liangzuo's two things were finally painted, and Li Liangzuo handed them to Xiao Zhuozi and said, "Send these two things to the blacksmith shop first, if there is anything you don't understand, I will teach them in person in a while." ” "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will do it."
After a night of practice, Li Liangzuo has basically mastered the skills of drawing, and the two things that Li Liangzuo drew next are simply two big killers, if this can be successfully developed, it is tantamount to the explosion of the world's first atomic bomb, at this moment Li Liangzuo's mind has countless ideas, as long as Li Liangzuo's ideas can be implemented, it means that the future combat mode of the Xia army will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Li Liangzuo came to the blacksmith shop with a few drawings he had drawn, and some senior blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop at this time were studying the two drawings sent by Li Liangzuo, it was too difficult for these blacksmiths to create such a thing, and it was not a trivial matter to drill an eye in the middle of the iron rod.
"Your Majesty, the two things you sent are too difficult to build, and I don't know what material to use for this."
An old blacksmith asked Li Liangzuo.
"This iron pipe should be made of the best fine iron, and then a hole should be drilled in the middle little by little, and this hole should be the same thickness from the inside and outside, and the surface should be very smooth, and there should be no gap in the middle of this cast iron," Li Liangzuo said to the old blacksmith one by one.
The old blacksmith shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is too difficult, and it must be an old blacksmith who has been around for decades to be able to build it, and the speed of drilling holes is also very slow, it may take more than a month for a person to drill one or two." ” "It's okay, do it slowly, I'm not in a hurry."
Li Liangzuo said.
"Your Majesty, should this big one be cast into a big iron rod first and then punched?"
The old blacksmith took out another picture and said.
Li Liangzuo said to the old blacksmith: "This is not necessary, but this one needs to make a mold first, and after melting the molten iron, pour it into it and cast it into this shape, and then polish the inner wall; However, this matter is not easy to do, and there must not be any bubbles in the middle of the molten iron when it solidifies, otherwise the cannon will easily explode."
"What's the bore?"
asked the old blacksmith curiously.
"There's nothing to do according to the two drawings I gave, I don't give you a deadline, as long as you can make these two things, I will be rewarded."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "It's not enough, there are two things here that you have to make for me first." ” After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he took out the other two drawings and said: "These two things are a layer of iron sheet on the outside, not too thick, as thin as you can, you should leave a cover behind it, so that it can be opened when the time comes."
"This is simple, Your Majesty rest assured, these two things can be created in two or three days."
"Okay, let's build it for me as soon as possible, I'll be of great use; Remember, the gaps around this must be tightly closed and no mistakes can be made. ” In the next few days, Li Liangzuo stayed in the blacksmith shop every day to guide the blacksmith to build those two peerless weapons, for these two weapons Li Liangzuo has high hopes, if you only look at the appearance of these two weapons, you will find that these two weapons are very similar to the current missiles; But in fact, it is not, to put it bluntly, Li Liangzuo just borrowed the shell of a modern missile, and then created a primitive missile.
Four days later, a total of six missiles were being prepared on the experimental site outside the city, and after the first missile was made, the blacksmiths had mastered some skills, so that they were able to make these six missiles in such a short time, and the missiles were only made of shells, and they had to be filled with gunpowder; Gunpowder is divided into two types: firing gunpowder and explosive gunpowder, which are respectively installed at both ends of the missile, and its production principle is the same as fireworks.
"Your Majesty, the first one has been loaded."
Xiao Zhuozi walked to Li Liangzuo's side and said.
"Let them make the fuse a little longer and get ready to start" The first missile was a small tail and a big head, and in Li Liangzuo's view, the smaller the tail, the bigger its reasoning should be, but the idea is the idea after all; As the fuse burned out, the first missile did not move at all, and it did not fly or explode, several masters wanted to go and see, but they were immediately stopped by Li Liangzuo and said: "Don't go, I can't tell when this thing will explode." ” As soon as Li Liangzuo's voice fell, the two explosions of "boom, boom" sounded not far away, a huge sound resounded through the sky, mushroom clouds rose into the sky, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, the power of this explosion was very huge, and a large crater with a diameter of one meter and one meter deep was directly exploded in place, such a great power has exceeded the scope of black powder, Li Liangzuo is very puzzled by this, but this is undoubtedly a huge discovery for Li Liangzuo, even if it is not a missile, it can be a bomb.
"Your Majesty, this thing is too dangerous, why don't you leave first, and the slave will keep an eye on it for you."
Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo.
"No, I'm going to watch here; Go ahead and have them pack the other two missiles of the same type and see if they have the same power.
Li Liangzuo said excitedly; If Xia Jun can really master such a powerful bomb, then in the future war, Xia Jun can really be invincible; Mastering a bomb of such power in the age of cold weapons is tantamount to mastering a nuclear bomb in modern times This was not the case with the other two missiles, and the second missile, which exploded in mid-air shortly after being launched, did not hit the target; The third missile was launched smoothly, but it did not explode; In fact, Li Liangzuo also understands that it is not easy to successfully research these missiles and obtain stable production, and there are too many factors that are restricted, and the two most important influences are the appearance of the missiles and the preparation of gunpowder.
"Let's experiment with the other one," Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi.
The other missile is very similar to the Sky Monkey, and it can also be regarded as an upgraded version of the Sky Monkey, with a slender body with a tail wing at the tail and two ailerons in the middle of the missile; It resembles today's cruise missiles; But the previous experiments had already given Li Liangzuo any hope for this kind of thing.
With a "whoosh", the fourth missile rose into the air and hit the cliff not far away, but it also did not explode but turned into brilliant fireworks; This is also the case with the other two.
The second is to continue to ask for support:
