In a clearing in the mountains and forests, a group of people gathered in front of a cannon.
All the people in the ordnance prison are here, the twenty guards are all under martial law, Xin Liangchou is still holding a torch in his hand, the artillery is already in good condition, and now he has to test the cannon.
"Ignition."
Yuan Shandao.
Xin Liangchou held the torch and his hands trembled a little, according to Yuan Shan's description of the artillery, after ignition, the cannon would make a loud noise and the smell of gunsmoke, it was the first time that he, a scholar, took the initiative to do these things, and now what he did completely violated the theory that the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall, and Yuan Shan had already said that it was dangerous to test the gun, but Xin Liangchou still insisted, and in the end he could only use a long stick to light the torch, and it would be at least safer after the distance was extended.
"Boom."
A loud bang shook everyone a little panicked, especially those craftsmen, they didn't expect that the things they had made in the past ten days would be so powerful.
On the other hand, the supervisor and the master bookkeeper are much calmer, I don't know if death is not that people who have read books are bold, but these people are still quite bold.
In an instant, seeing a mess in the forest more than a hundred meters in front of the artillery, Xin Liangchou shouted excitedly: "We have succeeded, we have succeeded." ” Yuan Shan looked at the lethality of the scattered bullets, and I have to say that the cone-shaped diffuse coverage of a dozen pieces is still very deterrent.
"Xin Jiancheng, this is only the first test launch, the test must be rigorous, let's continue."
Yuan Shan said calmly.
"Yuan Zhengjian is right, I'm too excited, let's start the second test launch now."
Xin Liangchou said.
At this time, Yuan Shan saw that Xin Jiancheng's interest was simply fanatical, and then the second test began, checking the cannon body to fill with gunpowder, adding projectiles, and then ignition.
There was a muffled "bang", and the shells were scattered dozens of meters away from the cannon body, and the scattered projectiles were still smoking, and cracks appeared at the mouth of the cannon barrel.
"Yuan Zhengjian, the cannon body is damaged, and it can't be used."
The craftsman immediately ran over to inspect the back road.
Xin Liangchou rushed up as soon as possible and said, "How can this be, this is the second test that failed." ” "Song Lushi, record the test process and the appearance of the cannon body, and call someone to come over and analyze what the problem is."
Yuan Shan said calmly.
Everyone gathered around, and saw that the cracks in the muzzle of the cannon were torn, and Yuan Shan found that this situation showed that it was not because the quality of the iron was not good, and the lack of flowering was probably due to the thickness of the barrel.
Perhaps more iron hoops should be added to the barrel, especially the muzzle should be made into three folds, and the heat dissipation of the temperature is also a problem, the craftsmen also checked the inside of the barrel, and the barrel still needs to be cleaned after the gunpowder is ignited, otherwise it will affect the performance of the barrel.
A lot of data proves that there are still many places to improve this first large gun, and under the current situation of backward technology, Yuanshan can only synthesize the data to let the craftsmen thicken the barrel, although it is thick and heavy, but in the current time, it can only be dealt with in this way.
In addition, for the sake of insurance, Yuanshan also added a new gun type, that is, the mortar cannon, the predecessor of the mortar cannon is short-bodied, the "mortar" predecessor is more simple to produce, although the range is not far, but it is a weapon for siege, no matter what, the mortar can be successfully launched, which is considered to be fully prepared.
Soon the second gun was made, and this new gun also took half a month, and the barrel was shortened a little, but the thickness did increase a lot.
When building the artillery, Yuan Shan was not idle, he was also studying the ratio of gunpowder, and gradually adjusted, he was a science student who understood these things theoretically, and the power of gunpowder was slightly adjusted this time.
A group of people came to the place of the first test, this time the shape of the cannon looked a little thicker, but the size was indeed a little smaller, which was also to facilitate production.
"Prepare for the fire."
Yuan Shan said directly.
This time it was still Xin Jiancheng who took the initiative to ask for help, the first test firing, the sound of the projectile flew out of the gun chamber, this time it was loaded with solid bullets, the cost was much lower, and it was easy to make, Xin Liangchou was very calm this time, and immediately said: "The first test firing, completed, apply for the second test." ” Yuan Shan waved his hand to signal the test to continue, the craftsman came to reload and then the second test shot began, Yuan Shan was actually very nervous in his heart, the first test was blown up in the second shot, and it was strange if he was not nervous.
"Boom."
The smoke of gunpowder was filled, and everyone saw the damage caused this time clearly, and instead of making a mess, they happened to directly hit a big tree, and immediately broke the big tree.
"The second test shot was completed."
Xin Liangchou shouted.
"Check the barrel and conduct a third test firing."
Yuan Shandao.
"Load gunpowder and shoot shots."
Xin Liangchou said.
"Boom."
The projectiles that scattered out blasted the trees in front of them into a mess.
"The third test shot was successful."
Xin Liangchou said.
"Check the barrel and record the data."
Yuan Shandao.
"The three test launches were successful, should we continue with the Yuan Jian Zheng?"
Zuoqiu asked next to him.

"Pause the test firing, check the barrel condition, and also record the damage after the projectile falls."
Yuan Shandao.
"Yes."
Left Hill Road.
"That's all for today, write a report of the situation to Your Majesty, and we'll complete the task."
Yuan Shan said.
In the East Palace, Li Shimin held the fold that the ordnance supervisor had just presented in his hand, looked at the information and shouted: "Okay, Yuan Shan really made the artillery." ” The next day, it was still in the open space where the ordnance supervision and test artillery was held, and there were many people here at this time, but Li Shimin did not show up, it was Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui who came, and the military general was Wei Chi Jingde.
"Yuan Shan, are you really that powerful?"
Wei Chi Jingde asked with some suspicion.
"Practice is the only criterion for verifying the truth, and since everyone is ready, let's start today's test, but I want to remind you that this cannon is very loud, and it is recommended that you cover your ears after ignition."
Yuan Shandao.
Wei Chi Jingde was talking to Yuan Shan here, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were touching the small artillery, and Xin Liangchou was next to him to explain to the two of them.
"Let's start testing the gun, please stand back."
Yuan Shan said.
Xin Liangchou, a guy who likes to play with fire, still went to Chen in person, holding a long ignition rod, and began to play with his artillery and small artillery triumphantly in front of many people.
"Boom."
The smoke was filled, and a puff of white smoke came out of the entire artillery, where had Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui seen this, and they thought that something had happened to the artillery.
Fortunately, Wei Chi Jingde has some adaptability to these artillery pieces since he has seen grenades.
This cannon uses scattered bullets, the power is not as good as solid projectiles, but the effect of spreading out, it still looks very scary, a hundred meters away from the artillery, scattered, in order to show the power of the artillery, some straw men are also deliberately placed at the target.
At this moment, all the straw men were carried over, and they were all covered with small projectiles.
