I, The Identity of the Immortal Master, Has Been Exposed

"Let's continue talking about the Xiongnu." Ye Yu smiled and said, "Lao Zhao, I will teach you a good way. When you attack the Xiongnu this time, it's best to bring all the wooden-handled grenades that Lao Zhu gave you. On the fixed ballista, no matter how fierce the Huns are, any bull, ghost, snake or god can be killed!"

"The caliber is justice, and the achievement of shooting is the truth. Although we don't have a cannon now, there is no problem with being a simple cannon. 99

Ye Yu exhorted patiently.

Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were very moved. He knew that Ye Yu was afraid that Da Qin's casualties would greatly affect Da Qin's national strength.

"Sir, you are overthinking it." Ying Zheng said domineeringly: "With so many good things, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, and if they can't beat the little Huns, they might as well find a tree with a crooked neck and hang them to death. ."

"If you win, you will definitely win." Ye Yu rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "The casualties can be smaller, the smaller the Huns, how can they exchange the lives of my Tianxia people for one to ten? I feel at a loss for the battle damage.”

"What Daqin lacks most now is population, and there is a world waiting for you to conquer, but don't waste my identity as a Tianxia citizen on a small Xiongnu! 99

"Yes, yes, what Mr. taught is that the widow remembers it." Ying Zheng nodded again and again, but couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sir, what does this mean by tying a grenade to a ballista and using it as a cannon?

"Don't you understand this?" Ye Yu said helplessly: "Just think about how far a manpower can throw a grenade, it's only a few dozen meters at most, and it's only a 26-color natural power like Pharaoh. Animals can be thrown hundreds of meters.

"On the battlefield, two soldiers meet each other, tens of hundreds of meters are nothing, they can kill the enemy, and it is very likely to kill their own people, so you need to use cannons!"

"Think about it, the ballista shoots a few hundred meters and has a lot of strength. You only need to tie the grenade to the crossbow and fire it out. Within a few hundred steps, it doesn't mean where to shoot. ?Then the Huns were completely stunned by you before they approached. 35

Ye Yu explained, Ying Zheng, who had never seen artillery before, finally understood what it meant.

"Wonderful, sir, this method is really great! Whether it's a battle on the battlefield or a siege war, it can be of great use!" Wang Ben also clapped his hands overjoyed.

Because this trick can easily solve the problem that the grenade bombardment is not far away.

Imagining the scene of a row of ballistas volleying, and then a few hundred meters away, there was a rumbling explosion.

Chongzhen, who was sitting on the side, was also full of surprises.

"The caliber is justice, and the range is the truth! 35 Chongzhen murmured, feeling that this sentence touched his heart, and he couldn't help but say: "Sir's method is really great, I will go back now try.

"Try some wool! Ye Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Daqin's technology is outdated and can't make artillery temporarily.

"..."

Ye Yu's question made Chongzhen a little embarrassed.

These flintlock guns, paper shell bullets, and wooden stick grenades were basically not technically difficult, and they were basically done with the efforts of Sun Dinghe.

But this gun is very difficult.

Although Bi Maokang was a master of firearms of a generation, he was unmatched in the field of artillery in the Ming Dynasty, but making artillery was a skill.

The manufacturing process of Daming artillery is very complicated. First of all, it requires casting, drying, polishing, and testing. It takes at least four or five months to complete a series of processes.

Although the Daming Artillery Bureau already had the means to imitate the top-notch red-clothed cannons at that time, the manufacturing process of this artillery was too troublesome, and it was difficult for the Artillery Bureau to manufacture several artillery pieces a year.

"Sir, I don't know, this Bi Maokang has just taken over the artillery bureau, and the artillery bureau has been neglected in management in recent years, and there are few craftsmen. If you want to complete the research and development of the rear-mounted artillery and the blooming bomb proposed by Mr. in a short time, it will take a long time. a period of time.

Chongzhen rubbed his hands and explained carefully.

Ye Yu rolled his eyes: "How long is that not a short time, a year?"

Chongzhen thought about Bi Maokang's current progress, gritted his teeth and said, "Three months! My artillery bureau will definitely be able to manufacture the first artillery piece within three months!

"Three months!" Ye Yu glared at him dissatisfied, and said, "After three months, the day lily will be cold, don't you want to bomb Jiannu with artillery earlier, Lao Zhu?

"I also think about it, sir." Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "However, the manufacturing process of this artillery is very complicated. Even if I am in a hurry, it is useless. Bi Maokang can't change the artillery directly like you!"9

Ye Yu scratched his hair annoyed when he heard the sound.

Daming without artillery is a paper tiger without teeth, anyone can ride on Daming's head to make a fortune.

But what Chongzhen said did make sense. With Daming's technological level, there was no way to do this. After all, a cannon would be a few thousand pounds at every turn, and if there were any flaws, it would need to be destroyed and recast, which was really not easy.

And the development of this explosive bomb is also very difficult.

Although Daming already had blooming bullets, because the fuze was not enough, he simply used blooming bullets, but continued to use heavy solid ammunition.

This is also the reason why cannons are getting heavier and heavier.

After all, it still requires a certain amount of technology to launch large iron balls weighing dozens of pounds.

What should I do? Can't let him exchange cannons from the mall and lend them to Chongzhen?

Ye Yu subconsciously shook his head.

This will definitely not work, not only will it hinder Daming's research on firearms, but he will not be able to exchange many cannons for his good value.

Ye Yu dragged his chin, thinking of a solution.

Chongzhen stood on the side nervously, stirring his fingers, he didn't even dare to let out the air, for fear of disturbing Ye Yu.

Ying Zheng and Wang Ben looked at each other and quietly put down the chopsticks.

Whether Daming can make cannons or not is related to whether they can use advanced cannons after Daqin, and they cannot afford to ignore them.

"Have it!"

Suddenly, Ye Yu seemed to remember something, and a smile appeared on his face.

Chongzhen immediately kept his waist straight and looked at Ye Yu with burning eyes.

Ye Yu said with a smile: "In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, Jiannu entered the customs six times to burn, kill, loot, and each time they were more ruthless, they would attack at any time. Waiting for you to slowly build artillery will definitely not work, maybe wait for you to make them. People have already hit your palace.

"However, artillery is powerful and must be the trump card of future wars, and there is no room for relaxation. In this way, you should let Bi Maokang study according to this idea, but you can first develop a mortar for transitional use? 99

"Mortar?"

Chongzhen was stunned when he heard the sound, what kind of thing is this?

"Come here, I'll show you." Ye Yu took out his mobile phone and searched for the mortar video to show them.

This is a clip of a movie showing a video of the Chinese army attacking Japan.

A row of mortars blasted out, and the scene was truly earth-shattering, extremely domineering!

"Hey... what kind of artillery is this, so powerful?

"This cannon fires too fast!"

"How many artillery pieces were fired this time?"

Ying Zheng and several others exclaimed in unison, with a fiery look in their eyes.

This cannon is too powerful!

Ye Yu's family explained with a smile: "This mortar is very powerful. It has a small barrel, low casting difficulty, and can be fired continuously without cooling time. The firing angle is flexible and can support all-round strikes!

"Compared with the red-clothed cannon, which can be as high as several thousand kilograms at every turn, this thing is a magic weapon, it can fire a cannon when it is put down, and it can run everywhere when it is folded up and carried. The deterrent to the enemy is simply endless!

"Think about it again. With a hundred mortars lined up, hundreds, or even thousands, of shells are fired every minute. How desperate would the opponent be?"

"Yes, yes, sir, you are so right!"

Chongzhen clapped his hands again and again, and the fire in his eyes almost ignited the phone screen.

Even Ying Zheng and Wang Ben were full of fiery faces, and their saliva was about to flow out.

This thing is pushed to the battlefield, it is simply a magic weapon, and it is very easy to solve!

Ye Yu urged: "This mortar is very simple to make, but there are a few things you must remember!"

"The first is this gun barrel. The gun barrel can no longer be made of iron or copper. It must be made of steel, preferably a hundred-forged steel or a thousand-forged steel, otherwise it is very likely that the chamber will explode. In this regard, Lao Zhu, you have already Must not be stingy.""

"There is this fuse, you can't do a fuse that automatically activates for the time being, so just leave a lead wire like a wooden handle grenade and ignite it at the back, then insert it into the barrel of the gun and shoot it out, it's just fine.

"And artillery shells, mortar shells can no longer be spherical, but cylindrical pointed shells, but this is not difficult, just use a mold to make an iron shell, stuff it with gunpowder, steel balls, and then A layer of isolation plate is made at the tail of the shell, and a layer of gunpowder is filled behind the isolation plate. This layer is called the launch layer gunpowder.

"After the fuze is ignited, the gunpowder will be ignited, and the cannonball will be shot out. After the cannonball hits the ground, the gunpowder in front of it will explode. However, you must test the fuze and the explosive time of the explosive gunpowder to make it clear. The situation where the gunpowder has not been ignited after it has been ignited, which is laughable.

Ye Yu patiently taught, Chongzhen nodded repeatedly, Li Yuanyin held a small notebook and kept writing down what Ye Yu said.
