The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Let it go." Shangwen lit the fuse with a torch.

"Boom." There was a loud noise.Shangwen's ears were buzzing from the shock.The projectile flew out, but the target did not hit, but hit a piece of land in front of the target.

Shang Wen made a visual inspection.The target position I set is really [-] steps, but the distance I hit is still a certain distance from the target.It seems that the process still needs to be improved.Especially gunpowder, rifling, shells.At present, such artillery has no obvious actual combat effect.Shangwen thought in his heart.

The loud noise woke up the princess directly.At this time, Shang Wen has already begun to check and measure the power of the artillery.The distance that the shells penetrated into the ground was relatively deep, which meant that they still had a certain amount of power.Although the current distance is not as good as the long shot crossbow, its power is greater than that of the crossbow.Mainly speed.This speed is unmatched by bows and crossbows.In terms of loading speed, the artillery is slightly inferior.The mobility is not as good as the crossbow, but these shortcomings can be improved.As long as you are willing to improve.Entering the battlefield in the future, this must be a powerful weapon.Siege weapon.Any city in the Warring States Period could not withstand the fierce bombardment of artillery.

Craftsmen were amazed by the power of the cannon, but some also noticed the shortcomings of the cannon. However, they had a consensus that the cannon could be improved.After all, this is only the first time artillery has appeared.

104 The Martial Princess

After Shangwen checked the impact point, he went back to check the recoil of the artillery.Seeing that the artillery is no longer in its original position, after firing, the location of the artillery is rather messy.It seems that the recoil is still very large.Even if it's only one inch in diameter.If you recreate a two-inch caliber.Artillery requires fixtures.Shang Wen carefully checked the situation of the artillery.

He touched the barrel with his hand.In the residue of gunpowder, there seems to be gunpowder.Shangwen knew that gunpowder had to be processed again.The easiest way is to moisten the raw materials with water, then glue them together to form a flat cake, and then smash them, sieve them, and polish them with graphite. In this way, the gunpowder is not afraid of co-wetting, and it is very convenient to use.The power will increase exponentially.After inspecting the cannon, Shangwen felt that the processing technology could be further improved.This enables mass production.Although it is not yet possible to "export" to the six eastern countries, this is a trend. The arms trade is far better and faster than direct combat.Otherwise, this arms trade has no meaning to exist.

"Hey. I only fired this musket once. You took it back." Ying Yu said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm doing this for safety. You've seen it too. This musket is so powerful, what should I do if it explodes? I'm the one who made the musket, so I have to be responsible." Shang Wenli? Che Nai file feedback?

"Then when will your musket mature?" Ying Yu asked.

"What? It should be very fast. The main reason is that some processing skills require precision. If it can be used on a machine, it should be very fast, but there is no money." Shangwen said the biggest difficulty at present.

"Oh. So that's the case." Ying Yu said.

"If I contribute money to build a gun factory, can you hurry up." Ying Yu said.

"This." Shangwen thought for a while.This gun factory should do it.As long as it is opened up near the original location of the arsenal.Artisans are readily available.If you explore a little more.The cost is basically ok.

"Well, it depends on how much money you can contribute." Shang Wen said.

"Well, is one thousand gold enough?" Ying Yu said.

"Almost." After Shangwen heard this, he began to calculate the use of this thousand gold. Military industry is the most expensive, if there is no stable source.It won't take long for this little money to go bankrupt.no.In addition, civilian equipment must be developed.Only in this way can there be a virtuous cycle.Otherwise, according to the current development trend, it will not take long before it will go bankrupt again.

"How many shares do you own?" Shang Wen asked.

"This. One thousand gold is not a small amount. I have to get [-]% of it no matter what. You get [-]% of it. You don't need to contribute [-]% of your money." Ying Yu said.

"Are you kidding me? I'm also technology. What is technology? It's something you can't buy with money. At least you have to take advantage of it." Shangwen said dissatisfied.

"I seven you three, that's fine." Ying Yu said happily.

"You seven and I three. Listen carefully, I'm seven, I'm seventy percent, you...".Shang Wen pointed to himself and said.

"You're just kidding, I contributed the funds. Without money, can guns be made? Seven for me. Three for you." Ying Yu said decisively.

What Shangwen lacks most at present is funds.A lot of money.No matter what, I couldn't get this money together.Judging from the current progress of researching artillery.It doesn't make much sense to put it into actual combat.At present, this guy is the only master who can come up with money.I can't lose this opportunity like this.

"Unless you add another five hundred gold, I can agree." Shang Wen compromised.I am currently in debt.

"This. This." Ying Yu pondered.

"Why, it's difficult." Shang Wen said.

Ying Yu was still thinking.If you add another five hundred gold.I don't even know what to sell.The little money I have is a plan to sell all jewelry and valuables.I usually don't use it myself.But if you add another five hundred gold.This can be difficult.I no longer know what is worth a little money.Ying Yu was silent and thoughtful.

Looking at Ying Yu who was thinking.Shangwen felt that as a princess, this guy doesn't have much money.It shouldn't be.The princess of Daqin has no money.Shangwen began to look at Yingyu himself.It was found that there was no jewelry on it.This is very strange.Not even pierced ears.It shows that this guy basically has no habit of wearing jewelry.It can't be because of the armor.No, not like.This guy doesn't have the pastel look of a woman on his face.Thinking of this, Shangwen began to get to know this guy again.Cannon not butter guy.Inherited the martial spirit of Qin State.Obsession with new weapons.Forget it, it's rare to have this kind of love.

"Forget it. There is no need to add the five hundred gold. As long as you give up [-]% of the shares." Shang Wen said.

"What?" Ying Yu shouted dissatisfied.

Shangwen covered his ears with his hands.The girl's voice was too sharp.

"For this percentage, I want to add a set of civilian equipment to make bicycles. With this, people can walk fast without relying on animal power." Shang Wen said.

"What, a bicycle. What is this?" Ying Yu asked quickly.

"You can tell this thing when you see it. Now, what do you think of my equity allocation?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yes. Yes." Ying Yu said as if she had gotten something cheap.

"Well, I'll improve the process. Then I will try to make a machine tool that can be mass-produced." Shang Wen said and left.

Ying Yu also left happily.Now Yingyu has only one thing to do, which is to go back, sell jewelry, and exchange money.

One day after Shang Wen returned, King Qin also returned from the north.After returning, the first thing King Qin did was to summon Li Si.Li Si came to Qin Palace in fear.Thinking of the fact that he framed others, the King of Qin might know about it.Li Si didn't know what to do.

When you come to Qin Palace.The king of Qin asked about the envoys from the six kingdoms.Li Si's hanging heart finally let go.

"Reporting to the king, I believe that the congratulations of the envoys from the six countries are false, and the spying is true. Moreover, the list of envoys that I checked found the names of military generals. Especially when I received them, I noticed. Those The figure of the general. From Yichen's point of view, the envoys from the six countries are not friendly." Li Si said slowly.

"En." King Qin nodded.these messages.On the way back, King Qin already knew about it.The question is what countermeasures to take now.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" King Qin asked.

"This." Li Si's head turned quickly.When I came here, I never thought that King Qin would ask about this matter, but now I suddenly asked.On the contrary, Li Si was caught off guard.

105 improvements

"I believe that the envoys from the six countries came to our Great Qin this time, and it is obvious that they are targeting our Great Qin's weapons." Li Si first stabilized the King Qin's question.

"As for these weapons, they are the sharp weapons used by our Great Qin to sweep the Six Kingdoms. Such a sharp weapon should be kept hidden. When our Great Qin Dong leaves Hangu Pass, it will be the time to shock the Six Kingdoms. Before the Six Kingdoms can't adapt time. It can quickly dominate the world." Li Si said.

"En." King Qin nodded.

"Aiqing and I have the same opinion." King Qin said.Li Si was very happy to hear that, at least King Qin and his thoughts could be consistent, which showed that he could still maintain his position as Prime Minister of Great Qin.

"However, I have shown Li Mu the new firearms of Daqin under Zhao Guoyun Zhongcheng. What do you think of Aiqing?" King Qin then asked a difficult question.

"This..." Li Si did not expect such a problem.But now it has happened.I don't know why King Qin wanted to show it to Li Mu.The combat power of Li Mu's frontier army is comparable to that of the Qin army.Now it has been shown to Zhao Jun.According to the habits of Zhao Jun and Li Mu, he will definitely make preparations.Moreover, this arsenal has been shut down, unable to produce large quantities of firearms.When Li Si encountered such a problem, he was really helpless.

"I'm ignorant," Li Si knelt down and said.

"Get up. This matter cannot be resolved by a prime minister." King Qin said.

"I have already invited Wei Liao, Feng Quji, and Qin Shangwen. Let's sit down and have a good discussion." King Qin said comfortingly.

Wei Liao and Feng Qu hurried in.

"My lord." The two saluted.

"Get up, everyone. Let's sit down and discuss the envoys from the six countries." King Qin waved his hand.

King Qin saw that there was no sign of Shang Wen, and knew that this person was busy, so he probably would wait a while before coming.

At this time, Shangwen is further improving the guns and artillery.The first musket is still undergoing durability tests.Results are coming soon.The gun barrel was already hot.I guess it won't take long to see the results.As for artillery.Shang Wen decided to cast a new one.The caliber of this gun was increased to two inches.The length remains the same for now.According to the original plan, Shangwen plans to start installing gun mounts after the artillery is cast.There should be an aiming system on the gun mount.This requires the casting of the aiming pin when the artillery is being cast.Mount the ruler behind.After being installed on the gun mount, the height can be adjusted.This requires the cooperation and fixation of the gears.The gun carriage should be equipped with wheels.Something needs to be fixed.But for the recoil after the artillery fires.This problem cannot be solved for the time being.
