I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 223 Divine Might Invincible General Cannon
"It's done! It's done!"

"Master Hou, it's done."

As soon as Li Yu entered the backyard, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face, but Feng Yansheng was too excited and rushed up.

Li Yu grinned, "Old Feng, I've never seen you so excited when creating Style 99."

Feng Yansheng collected himself and said, "It's different, Lord Hou."

"The development of artillery this time and loading it into a carriage is a step in history. Counting the thousands of years in China, how has such a feat been done before? Who has it?"

Speaking of Echigo, Feng Yansheng's old face suddenly turned red, and he looked more and more energetic.

"I just don't know who is more powerful than the cannon in the Ming Dynasty." Li Yu was a little expectant, so he slipped his mouth.

Feng Yansheng was taken aback by this, and asked in confusion, "Ming Dynasty?"

"Ahem, since the research and development has been successful, why are you still standing there, take me to take a look." Li Yusheng was afraid that Feng Yansheng would investigate further, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, what Master Hou said was that the officials were so happy that they almost forgot the business, which made Master Hou laugh."

Speaking of which, there is a tacit understanding between the master and the slave, but whenever Li Yu confesses to Feng Yansheng's research and development of weapons and equipment, Feng Yansheng has forgotten to eat and sleep to the extreme, and he also wants to fiddle with it.

In the middle, he would never disturb Li Yu for a while, and Feng Yansheng would not visit until new weapons or equipment were developed.

This may be the so-called "the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual."

Li Yu only produced drawings and explanations, and the craftsmen of the foundry department had to explore and understand the rest of the steps.

As a result, Daqin's craftsmanship has reached an unprecedented scale.

As the two talked, the carriage quickly arrived at the outskirts of Xianyang.

Even though the world is peaceful, and everything has stopped, the chimney of the foundry department has never stopped.

After the disarmament, the equipment update and the research and development of new equipment, as long as Daqin's gold, silver, copper, and iron are not used up, and the relevant casting objects are not completed, the chimney of the foundry department will always be emitting green smoke.

Foundry Division resident.

The weapons proving ground that was once used to experiment with Liannu, Zhentianlei, and Huobao has now more than doubled in size.

Among them, various bullseyes with red paint circles are provided for new firearms experiments and adjustments.

On the proving ground, three carriages with dark metallic luster were quietly placed.

Each of the carriages is equipped with an iron fence, and inside the iron fence is a poured metal pipe with a length of more than one foot and a diameter of ten inches.

"Master Hou, I feel that the name of artillery is not worthy of these three rare gadgets."

Li Yu couldn't help but nodded, then blurted out and asked, "What name does Master Feng think is worthy of it?"

"Eh... the naming of lower officials has never been of a high standard..." Although Feng Yansheng said so, there was some small expectation on Feng Yansheng's face.

Li Yu smiled when he saw this, "It's okay, if it's not right, I'll name it again."

Feng Yansheng was overjoyed. After all, this cannon was developed by him. If he didn't have a cool name on it, he would feel sorry for Li Yu.

"Hey, thank you Hou Ye for your kindness."

Feng Yansheng cupped his hands in worship, and then he said: "When the lower official heard the news that the cannon was built, a flash of light came to his mind, and he felt that the cannon was very handsome, so he called it: God Cannon."

Hearing this, Li Yu was stunned for a moment, so that the look in Feng Yansheng's eyes revealed strangeness inside and out.

"Old Feng's brain hole... I'm afraid he has traveled through time."

But then I thought about it, whoever said that the ancient sages couldn't open their minds and think of the term artillery used in later generations.

And Feng Yansheng's look of anticipation shocked Li Yu, and blurted out: "Master Feng, your reputation as a god fire is very appropriate."

"But Ben Hou also thought of a resounding name for him. Why don't you listen to Mr. Feng, whoever chooses the more domineering name between you and me."

Feng Yansheng was overjoyed at first, and then a little disappointed, but even so, Feng Yansheng quickly adjusted his mentality, and asked: "Master Hou is very knowledgeable, and the name should surpass the lower officials."

Li Yu opened his mouth and said, "I don't know if it will be more domineering to call it the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon."

……

"Shenwei Invincible General Cannon..."

"Um, this name..." Feng Yansheng repeated it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, apparently struck by Li Yu's name.

But Li Yu is Lord Hou, Taiwei, and the original author of this weapon sketch.

Although Feng Yansheng was unwilling, he could only forced a smile and said: "Master Hou's name is really domineering, it fully shows the power of my Great Qin."

Li Yu couldn't see Feng Yansheng's careful thinking, so he grinned and said: "Okay, my Lord Feng, whether it's a god cannon or my general cannon, isn't there a total of three cannons now? You and I each choose one, and each engraves the name on the body of the gun."

When Feng Yansheng heard Li Yu's words, his old face with a strong smile suddenly became extremely exciting, like a doll with an award-winning little red flower, showing a bright smile.

While being flattered, the old face had already shed a few drops of clear tears, choked up and said: "Really?"

Li Yu really couldn't stand seeing Feng Yansheng, a half-century old man, weeping emotionally in front of him.

"That's all right, all right, Mr. Feng, don't be sensational. If you have a way, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. It's a mule or a horse. Let's talk about it a priori."

After all, it would be embarrassing for the two masters and servants to patronize to make a name for themselves here, but in the end the experiment failed.

Li Yu simply settled his mind and waited calmly to see if the first batch of three cannons could meet the expected value.

And when Feng Yansheng heard this, he also entered the state instantly.

I saw Feng Yansheng wiped his tears with his sleeve, and immediately took a small red flag and waved it.

The loader on the carriage saw the commander waving the flag, immediately loaded the ammunition, and then lit the incense.

As the lead wire burned violently, after only a few breaths, three deafening cannons exploded over the casting department's garrison, and then three water dragons several feet high rose from a small artificial lake one mile away.

Seeing this, the two of Li Yu shouted tacitly: "It's done!"

The successful igniting and firing of the artillery means that Daqin has entered the age of firearms in an all-round way, and the expeditionary army will go on expeditions in the future.

What does it rely on?
It is a mobile force, it is a horseback, and it is a siege weapon that can move with the carriage right now.

Of course, as a weapon for attacking, the artillery is too big, and it weighs a ton and a half even on the carriage, so at least a good horse is needed to pull the cart.

With such shortcomings, although Li Yu used the disassembly method to optimize the portability performance, it also involves a very serious problem.

That is, a lot of imperial chariot soldiers who can drive four horses are needed.

However, Daqin, who had abandoned chariots for many years, still stayed in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States 20 years ago for the training of "drivers".

Therefore, after verifying the power of the artillery, Li Yu immediately returned home and entered Xianyang Palace.
