Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 238 The Truth Is Within Range

The military training ground was full of civil and military officials. They all came directly from Xianyang Palace, and the leader was naturally Qin Daqin, the boss of Daqin.

And not far in front of them are artillery and simple grenades newly developed by the arsenal.

But these things are covered with black cloth, and everyone doesn't know what the artillery looks like.

As for the power of these cannons, Xiao Hong has indeed done a test, and the power is not too strong.

Due to the limitations of the smelting process, these cannons are extremely heavy, each weighing about four thousand catties.

The maximum range can reach five miles, which is 500 meters. Of course, the effective range is only about 500 meters. After 500 meters, it is really resigned to fate.

Even so, this artillery can be regarded as a magic weapon in the Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this thing is the cannon" Xiao Hong tore off the black cloth covering the cannon.

The black lacquered cannon body, mounted on a special two-wheeled vehicle, with a huge muzzle, all the officials watching could not help but gasp.

"Hmm!" Xiao Hong looked at the officials' expressions in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you? Could it be that you have seen artillery?"

Hearing Mr. Wu An's question, everyone came back to their senses, that's right, we don't know this stuff, so why take a breath.

"Wu Anjun, is this the artillery you said can shoot five miles away?" Feng Quji asked, looking at the dark cannon body.

"That's right, it can hit five miles at the farthest." Xiao Hong nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, although the artillery can indeed hit five miles, its effective range is at most 500 meters. If it exceeds the range, it will lose its accuracy."

"Your Majesty and colleagues, please look far away"

Everyone followed Xiao Hong's fingers to look into the distance, and found a large number of straw figures standing on a flat ground hundreds of meters away.

"Mr. Wu An, who are these straw figures?" Li Si asked looking at the straw figures.

"These straw men are used to show everyone the power of firearms. Come and load the cannons with shells." Xiao Hong gave an order, and the soldiers who had practiced for many days stepped forward and began to assemble the shells.

The cannon that Xiao Hong made this time is the simplest one. Each time, a special wooden stick needs to be used to feed gunpowder into the cannon body, and then the cannonball is sent in.

After the shells are sent into the back of the gun, it needs to be stabbed tightly with a wooden stick.

With the cooperation of four soldiers, the gunpowder and shells were loaded within a minute, but this time Xiao Hong directly brought three cannons.

The first shot was naturally fired by Qin Shihuang himself. After the soldiers adjusted the position of the artillery, they handed over the torch to Qin Shihuang.

"Your Majesty, after lighting the fuse, just remember to go back immediately," Xiao Hong repeatedly urged Qin Shihuang.

In order to ensure the safety of Qin Shihuang, Xiao Hong deliberately made the lead wire longer to prevent accidents.

The rest of the people stood in the safety zone designated by Xiao Hong. In order to ensure that the ministers would not be frightened, Xiao Hong thoughtfully prepared earplugs for everyone.

Li Si and other civil servants cooperated with Xiao Hong very much, and they all voluntarily put on earplugs.

On the military commander's side, except for a few people, no one else is willing to wear this thing.

Especially Li Xin, who is so forceful, if he doesn't wear it, he won't wear it, and he mutters in his mouth that he hasn't seen any scene of a big man, and he still wears this thing.

Well, as soon as Li Xin said this, the generals who wanted to wear earplugs were embarrassed to wear them again.

At that time, Wang Jian and others listened to Xiao Hong wisely. They all knew that Lord Wu An would not do useless things.

After Qin Shihuang put on the earplugs, he held a torch and slowly approached the lead wire.

chi chi chi...

The fuse burned with a flame.

Seeing that the fuse was lit, Qin Shihuang threw away the torch and hurriedly backed away.

After Qin Shihuang retreated to a safe position, Wang Yan rushed up with the Xuanwu Guards and firmly protected Qin Shihuang.

The lead wire was relatively long, and Qin Shihuang waited for a few seconds after withdrawing to a safe area before the lead wire ignited the gunpowder.

boom!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded suddenly.

I saw a flame shooting out from the muzzle of the artillery, and a black cannonball sprayed out with white mist, and it hit the straw man.

For a moment, people turned their backs on their backs, and the horses neighed unceasingly.

Many of the military generals who did not wear earplugs were so frightened that they sat on the ground.

Staring at the pupils, he looked at the artillery in horror.

Qin Shihuang and the others were frightened by the loud explosion because they were wearing earplugs, but they were obviously much calmer.

Especially Qin Shihuang didn't even blink his eyes.

He is the emperor, so naturally the mountain collapsed in front of him without changing his face!

Accompanied by earth-shattering loud noises, the straw figures standing in the distance were hit by black shells, and many straw figures fell directly to the ground.

This artillery!
What a good thing!

Qin Shihuang looked at the grass man who fell to the ground in the distance, and he was very happy.

"Your Majesty, this cannon is not finished yet. I still have another type of cannonball. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty." Xiao Hong asked two soldiers to step forward and light the remaining two cannons.

The shells loaded in these two cannons would explode. The reason why Qin Shihuang was not allowed to test fire was mainly because he was worried that Qin Shihuang would be injured if the chamber exploded.

When they heard that there were still two cannons about to fire, Li Xin and the others stopped pretending and hurriedly took out earplugs and put them on.

boom!
There were two earth-shattering bangs again, and two cannonballs with sparks flew out of the muzzle.

When the two shells hit the middle of the straw man, an explosion occurred.

boom!
There were two loud bangs, and flames ignited among the straw figures, and many straw figures were directly blown to pieces.

This scene shocked everyone at a loss. They didn't expect the shells from the cannon to explode. Isn't this a fairy weapon?

But Li Si deserved to be the prime minister who ruled all the officials back then, when everyone was still in a daze, Li Si immediately bowed and said.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty, with this fetish, my Great Qin will surely shake the world and rule the world"

Everyone came back to their senses when they heard Li Si's words of congratulations, and immediately bowed to congratulate: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty"

"Hahahaha" Hearing the congratulations from all the officials, Qin Shihuang couldn't help laughing, and said, "Mr. Wu An, you really opened my eyes today. Is this artillery ever named?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it has not yet been named"

"Since he hasn't been named, let's call him Lei Xiao"

"I want to use this howl of thunder to smash the rebellious hearts of the remnants of the six kingdoms, and use this howl of thunder to rule the world"

"Your Majesty, Wannian, Great Qin Wannian" When everyone heard Qin Shihuang's domineering words, they immediately bowed and congratulated.

When the cannon fired, there was a loud noise, so the name Lei Xiao was appropriate.

Fuck, you should stop dreaming.

This thing is deadly and heavy, and it really depends on it to rule the world. Isn't this a daydream? Let's wait until a lighter artillery can be produced in the future.

"Your Majesty, apart from this cannon, I have one more good thing." Xiao Hong looked at the extremely excited crowd and said with a bow.

"Oh, there are still good things, why don't Mr. Wu An quickly take them out?" Qin Shihuang looked at Xiao Hong with bright eyes.
