Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Outside the city, on the east side of Jiming Mountain.

This is the site of Daming Academy of Science and Technology.

The houses are under construction. There are kilns, bricks, stones, and foundations. There are people coming and going, and it is very lively.

At the other end, dozens of people are busy.

"Attention, attention, the base address below will be exposed!"

"Everyone pay attention, Master doesn't seem to get dirty!"

"No, no, Master, it's too late for my little worship, how can it get dirty?"

"Look at you, the soil is all up to the statue of the master."

Liu Shiwei, the Imperial Regulatory Commissioner, commanded in a hushed voice.

This was originally the site of the Daming Institute of Science and Technology.

Restoring the Confucius Temple here is the task assigned to Liu Shiwei by Bai Qixiu, Jijiu Bai Qixiu of the Guozijian.

Liu Shiwei also knew that this was the former site of the Confucius Temple, and it became a wasteland after being destroyed by the Yuan people.

Liu Shiwei volunteered to restore the Confucius Temple here.

As the book of the Guozijian, Liu Shiwei is just an official of the eighth rank, and he is not the core and backbone of the Guozijian.

Therefore, he came to restore the Confucius Temple and got Bai Qixiu's consent.

Bai Qixiu also hinted to him that this matter should be made bigger.

Of course Liu Shiwei knew that the restoration of the Confucius Temple was a grand event, and more people had to know about it.

Only after arriving at the place did he understand Bai Qixiu's intentions.

Before the excavation, personnel from the Daming Institute of Science and Technology came to stop it.

But when they heard that there used to be a Confucius Temple here, these people all went back.

Bai Qixiu also made a special trip, claiming that the Confucius Temple is here, and this piece of land should be returned to the Guozijian.

The people from the Daming Institute of Science and Technology were reluctant now, and came over to discuss it immediately.

There were several frictions between the two sides, and Bai Qixiu came several times.

The first rank of the official crushed a person to death, and as soon as Bai Qixiu came, the other party retreated.

"My lord, there are people coming from their side, many people! There are also high officials!"

Liu Shiwei narrowed his eyes, sure enough, a large group of people came over there, very majestic.

"Jin Yiwei, come too!"

Liu Shiwei's heart trembled, and he hurriedly directed his personnel to hide behind the mountain bag.

I heard that King Wu Zhu Yunxie had two eunuchs under his command, and when he came out, there were often Jin Yiwei to clear the way.

Today, Jin Yiwei takes the lead, which means that Wu Wang Zhu Yunxi is here!

Jinyiwei is every official's nightmare.

Even those who have no ghosts in their hearts are afraid, because if they enter the Dianzhao Prison, they will have to peel off their skin if they don't die.

No one wants to deal with Jin Yiwei, let alone face to face.

……

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that he was going to the experimental site of the Daming Institute of Science and Technology outside the city, he immediately stood up and walked out regardless of the distance.

Zhu Yunxi entered the backyard and exchanged a mortar and a shell from the system space.

Called Tao Chengdao and two followers.

Tao Chengdao touched the brand new mortar and was very surprised!
The material is top notch!
At the current level of Ming Dynasty, it can't be done yet.

Especially the metal cylinder, the inner wall is extremely smooth!
Mortars and shells are not heavy and can be removed by three people.

After the mortar was carried out, Zhu Yuanzhang and the ministers looked at it and touched it.

Apart from lamenting the fine workmanship, others were not too surprised.

Qi Tai felt that Zhu Yunxi was talking big, just such a pipe, plus a brass like a big radish, how useful would it be?

When this thing is picked up, it can kill a lot of people.

Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't figure it out, this pipe is equivalent to the thickness of moso bamboo, this thing is called a mortar?
Not to mention the Thunderbolt Cannon and Thunderbolt that existed in the Song and Jin Dynasties, I am afraid that even the return cannon that throws stones is no match.

Jin Yiwei cleared the way ahead, and Zhu Yuanzhang led everyone out of the city.

At the experimental site, Zhu Yunxi operated it himself.

"Dean Tao, take a good look. There is only one cannon at the moment, and there is only one cannon at the moment. You should use this as a sample, and try to make it early!"

Tao Chengdao and two members of the Academy of Science and Technology came together.

"You should have seen smashing the firecracker. When the firecracker is thrown to the ground, it will ring. That's because it hit the fuse."

"This mortar is the same! This is the shell, and this is the launcher!"

"The mortar shells are loaded from here, they fall to the bottom of the launcher, and the firing pin is slammed, which ignites the shells."

"The combustion of the gunpowder at the back of the shell will instantly generate heat, which will rapidly expand in this sealed space."

"This expanding force will throw the shells out and fall into the enemy's line, causing great damage to the enemy."

Zhu Yunxi's explanation was easy to understand, especially using the familiar firecrackers to explain, which made Zhu Yuanzhang nod frequently.

Tao Chengdao understood.

However, the principle is easy to understand, but things are difficult to create.

"It can cause damage to the enemy, mainly because the front part of the shell will explode after landing."

"The shells contain iron pieces, steel balls, etc., which will cause fatal damage to the surrounding people."

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Grandpa Emperor, please point out a target. I will probably aim at the target and fire a shot, mainly to see the effect of the mortar."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked into the distance, pointed and said: "See if there is a broken wall over there, so hit there."

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his thumb to measure, and adjusted the angle of the mortar.

Align the shell with the nozzle and slide in!

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the shells that had just slipped in roared out from the nozzle and rushed into the air.

Qi Tai, Fan Min and the others sat down on the ground in fright, and even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but change color.

The shell flew out of a standard parabola at a speed visible to the naked eye, and landed at the position designated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

boom!
After the shell landed, there was a loud noise, and thick smoke rose on the opposite side.

After the thick smoke dissipated, it was discovered that the broken wall just now no longer existed.

The broken wall was blown flat!

Zhu Yuanzhang hurried forward to check.

The scene is in a mess!
There was actually a pit blackened by smoke on the ground.

God, the power of this shell is too great!

The precision and accuracy are too high!
Moreover, it is extremely easy to operate!
The key is that the speed of this shell is much faster than the artillery and copper cannons of the Song and Yuan Dynasties!
This is an artifact!

Suddenly, there was a shout!

A group of people with bloody faces screamed and ran away.

After a while, the figure disappeared.

The ministers were taken aback, but they didn't know there was a group of people hiding here!

The person who followed Tao Chengdao said: "They are here to make trouble and want to occupy the territory of our Academy of Science and Technology, so they will be punished today!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel bad when he heard this.

They were ordinary people, but they didn't know they were here to make trouble.

These people deserve what they are like.

"These people were all injured by the mortar?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Yunxi said: "Grandfather, that's right. The greatest power of mortars is not to destroy buildings, but to harm people."

"As long as they are within ten feet of the shells blooming, no one will be spared."

"The reason why these people were injured just now should be out of curiosity. When the shells hit the ground, they showed their faces from their hiding places."

"So, their faces were hit by shrapnel, iron slag and other objects."

Zhu Yunxi said: "Master Tao, when conducting experiments in the future, you must check to see if there is anyone in the test site in advance, so as not to hurt innocent people."

Tao Chengdao was excited: "Your Majesty, we must make this mortar! This is the most powerful artillery I have ever seen in my life!"

"I really didn't expect that a small cannonball could have such power."

"Not to mention killing and wounding the enemy, even this loud noise is enough to scare the enemy!"

"There is a sound on the flat ground, and there is thunder in the clear sky!"
