Chapter 58 What the hell is it

"It's really mighty and majestic! Just looking at it makes people feel proud!" Wang Wendao pointed at the dark warship!
"Let's go! Go up and see the combat power!" He Wenyu said proudly, "Xiandi's design and transformation are really ingenious and wonderful!"

Of course He Sanhuai would not let go of such excitement, although according to his duty he is a general of the infantry and cavalry.He Sanhuai smiled and said: "It's amazing! Let's go up and have a look!"

Wang Wendao's 50 people and He Wenyu's 50 people, under the leadership of the chief engineer blacksmith and carpenter Hu Bozan appointed by Zhao Si, boarded the two largest eight-car ships respectively and began to stand by in groups.

Zhao Si patted the tightly fitted and strong armor and said to Hu Bozhan: "Brother, I've been busy with you these days! You've done a really good job!"

At that time, Zhao Si took the blueprints, found the craftsmen, and proposed to armor the ship. Everyone thought that doing so would sink the ship. Zhao Si had to explain the principles of density and buoyancy to the group of people, but no one listened. I understand, only Hu Bozan gradually figured it out, he quickly replaced Zhao Si's theory with metaphors of things familiar to the craftsmen, and gradually explained it to the craftsmen...

In this way, Zhao Si appointed Hu Bozan as the chief engineer, and led the blacksmiths and carpenters to work together to transform the warship...

Facts have proved that the wisdom of these craftsmen should not be underestimated!Zhao Si has a design concept, but if he can do the work so seamlessly, so exquisitely and ingeniously, he can't do it even if he is killed!

Hu Bozan thanked Zhao Si for his compliment!Zhao Si said with a smile: "Next, we will reward the craftsmen headed by old brother! Now, old brother, go and discuss with other participating craftsmen and handymen, and come up with a plan..."

"Yes!"

The bed crossbow designed by Zhao Si has been installed on the warship. Of course, it is still a three-bow bed crossbow, but its volume is much smaller. Of course, the reduction in volume is caused by the modification of a huge roulette noose. Originally, dozens of people needed to turn the winch to wind the three-bow. After adding a few pulley blocks to the bed crossbow, the winch is much smaller and requires a lot less manpower. It only takes five or six to operate!
This crossbow is completely installed under the big iron canopy on the deck. The iron canopy opened a small window in all directions according to the shooting angle. In fact, it only allows the shooting of the new gunpowder arrow weapon, but it is opened a lot, which can be used as an observation window and a window. Skylight lighting windows.It is easy to observe the outside through this window and shoot gunpowder arrows, but it is not easy to shoot arrows in from the outside. After all, most places are blocked by iron plates...

The three-bow bed crossbow is installed on a rotatable roulette mountain. The crossbowman can turn the bed crossbow to aim, and the shooting angle can also be adjusted up and down, so the strike range is almost without dead angle!

Wang Wendao immediately ordered the capstan to be wound, and a group of eight ordinary arrows were fired on the spot, and the arrows landed a thousand steps away. Sure enough, although the bed crossbow on this ship was smaller, its power remained the same!
He Wenyu caressed this improved three-bow bed crossbow, couldn't put it down, and said: "My dear brother, after modification, such a ship should be invincible in Song Dynasty, right?"

Before Zhao Si answered, Wang Wendao smiled contemptuously, and said, "Sister-in-law, what is this, let me show you, a real big hand, a big killer! Come on!"

Following Wang Wendao's cry, a minion handed over a strange thing!The first half of this thing is a shuttle-shaped rough iron pipe with a thick cup mouth and two feet long. There are not many giant javelins produced!It's just that the shuttle-shaped iron tank with a big stomach in the first half is filled with gunpowder!The rear end of the bamboo pole is equipped with a tail fin made of wood chips!

This is also an improvement of Zhao Si's melon-shaped rocket. Wang Wendao has seen the power of this thing before!

Zhao Si smiled and said: "This thing will be called a rocket launcher from now on! Come on, put one out and try it out!"

He Sanhuai, He Wenyu and all the minions are looking forward to the effect.Wang Wendao ordered people to place a fishing boat hundreds of feet away as a target.The eight people here winch the strings, install the rocket launcher, turn the crossbow to take aim, ignite and open the fuse, and smash the machine cover with the big hammer of the crossbowman. The sound hit the fishing boat hundreds of feet away in an instant. Since the lead wire had not been burned out, we only waited for a moment, but after hearing a loud bang, the fishing boat turned into countless planks and flew in the air. It took a long time for them to fall into the water!
Everyone on board was stunned, and it took a while to applaud!

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

"mighty!"

……

More than a hundred people roared mighty!
"My dear brother! As soon as this thing comes out, the fighting and fighting in the future will definitely change the world! In previous wars, swords, guns and arrows were the main thing, and gold was the main thing! In future wars, the fire will soar to the sky, and the sound will shake the mountains, and the fire will be the main thing! My dear brother! ! If the world is really changed like this, you should be the originator of this way!" He Sanhuai said with emotion.

Jiang is still old and hot. He Sanhuai has already seen the difference between cold weapons and firearms. He has explained the essence in one sentence. It is indeed a transformation from gold to fire!

"My little brother doesn't like the appearance of this kind of efficient killing weapon! Oh, what can I do? Someone will make it if I don't do it! If someone else makes it first, we will suffer! This gunpowder has been invented a long time ago. ..." Zhao Si sighed.

"I know about gunpowder. The soldiers in the Song Dynasty were weak and there was a shortage of war horses. Therefore, the imperial court has never relaxed the improvement of weapons. The imperial court has improved the gunpowder formula many times. Sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal powder were even added to increase the lethality. Such as arsenic and other poisons, the imperial court also has such weapons, called thunderbolt cannons! But the power is far inferior to the thunder and rockets made by my virtuous brother!" Wang Wendao said aside.

Zhao Si does not take up the topic of formula improvement, he needs to be conservative and cautious about the new things of an era.As someone who has experienced it, he knows the power of firearms!If this thing really gets out, and both sides of the enemy really use it, then killing people is like mowing grass!Besides, every country around the Han people is simply full of wolf ambitions, and the desire to destroy oneself is not dead. If this kind of people masters this kind of killing weapon, then the Han nation is in danger!
"My little brother is extremely disturbed! When this thing comes out, how many souls of warriors will have to settle accounts with me? A warrior, from his infancy to his teens and twenties, worships famous teachers, learns martial arts, the art of war, or After learning a lot of bad things, he joined the army, whether he wanted to serve the country loyally, or to make a career in the sky, always with lofty aspirations... Boom! How many lofty ambitions are with the body, and there is no broken dregs left... This is How to die a warrior, a hero? No matter how brave you are and how strong you are, taking the head of a general from a thousand-horse army is like searching for something, but if this thing explodes around you, as long as it is flesh and blood, it will always explode It needs to be crushed! So this little brother is a sin! It is a sin to go to the eighteenth floor of hell..." Zhao Si smiled falsely.

"Why do I think you said it so easily? You don't look like a person with a sinful heart at all?" He Sanhuai said with a smile.

"I have no choice, brother! We are rebels now, and we are rebels surrounded by the court! If we take into account the seriousness of our crimes, we have no choice but to give our heads to others to be chopped off! For the present plan, the only way is to go to war! Save your life first, and then slowly find a buddhist to hug and repent..."

The crowd laughed.

"Then what are you waiting for? We have to discuss the whole army going out!" He Sanhuai laughed out loud, full of confidence!
"Hehe, if they don't come now, who shall we fight?" He Wenyu laughed.

"It's said that everything can be done in advance, or it can't be done beforehand. It's always good to plan early and prepare carefully..." Wang Wendao said from the side.

Zhao Si suddenly remembered something, but for a moment he couldn't remember what he remembered!He said anxiously: "Wait! Wait! I seem to remember an extremely important thing, but I can't remember what it is! I've been too busy recently, may there be any omissions...?"
