Chapter 50 Hot Air Balloons and Grenades (Please collect and read)
"Your Majesty, please see, this is the artillery developed by Weichen!"
Zhan Liang said something to Zheng Yi excitedly, and several officials from the Ministry of Industry and Lei Shitou stood beside him.
Several people looked a little tired, and it was obvious that they had been completing the tasks given to them by Zheng Yi during this period.
But Zheng Yi's expression was a little strange.
The artillery in front of me...or the barrel is more appropriate.
The whole thing is indeed round, made of fine iron, fixed on the ground, and tilted toward the sky.
But the barrel is very thick, about one meter long, and the black hole looks very penetrating.
Zhan Liang said: "Your Majesty, we have tested before. Put gunpowder and iron bullets into the barrel. Just ignite the gunpowder. The gunpowder will explode in the barrel within ten breaths, and the iron balls will be blasted out. .”
Zheng Yi's mouth twitched, what the hell is this artillery?
Oil barrel bomb?
He could only rub his head and ask: "How far can it be blown up?"
"About ten feet."
Ten feet?
That's about thirty meters.
It's too...short.
"Why not make the barrel a little thinner?" Zheng Yi asked: "The thinner the barrel, the stronger the impact of the explosive, and the longer the distance the iron bomb can explode."
"Your Majesty, we have also tested it, but the thinner the barrel, the explosion will blow up the entire barrel."
Zhan Liang hesitated and said: "After so many days of experiments, only such a thick barrel will not be blown up, but after using it about ten times, it must be watered to cool down."
"Is the iron smelting technology not up to par?"
Zheng Yi shook his head and said: "Is there any way to improve iron smelting technology?"
"This..."
Zhan Liang thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Wuzhou Yujian Villa's casting technology is superb, and a three-foot green peak can withstand a thousand kilograms of weight. Maybe Yujian Villa's iron smelting technology is much better than mine."< br>
"If we can invite the swordsmith from Yujian Villa to the court..."
"Wuzhou Yujian Villa?"
Zheng Yi frowned slightly. Although Yujian Villa was not the strongest force in Dayu Wulin, it should not be underestimated.
Because the entire villa is good at making swords, it is surrounded by countless martial arts people.
It's really a bit troublesome to obtain sword-making and iron-smelting technology from Yujian Villa.
"I will resolve this matter." Zheng Yi said indifferently: "You continue to study."
"No!"
They are just a martial arts sect, and I like their iron-smelting and sword-making skills to give them face.
Moreover, such a special technology as smelting iron and making swords must be controlled by the imperial court.
A mere martial arts sect spends all day studying how to forge swords and smelt iron. What are your intentions?
"Cheng'en."
"Your Majesty!"
"Send the order and ask Wuzhou Yujian Villa to present its iron smelting technology and thirty swordsmiths."
"No!"
At this time, Lei Shitou hurriedly came up: "Your Majesty! Cao Cao people have also researched new results. Can you take a look?"
Zheng Yi became interested: "Oh? What is it?"
"It's still palm thunder...oh no, it's thunderbolt!"
Lei Shitou diligently asked someone to bring out a bunch of thunderbolts and introduced: "Your Majesty, look, this is the thunderbolt I have newly researched."
"After adding new clay, iron flakes and salt to it, the explosion is more powerful, and I also added a fuse to it. It will explode in about ten breaths after being ignited!"
Hearing Lei Shitou's explanation, Zheng Yi quickly understood. Isn't this thing just a grenade?
"Your Majesty."
Zhan Liang suddenly said: "The thunder stone is indeed a good improvement on the thunderbolt, but it is too heavy, weighing about three kilograms, and ordinary soldiers cannot throw it too far."
"And it's too powerful and can easily hurt your own people."
Too powerful?
He was also afraid that it was not very powerful!
"How can you hurt your own people?"
Lei Shitou said angrily: "Isn't the Ministry of Industry and Industry making that big balloon? The last experiment used a dog to fly for tea time."
"When the big balloon is successfully developed, people can stand on the big balloon, fly over the enemy, and throw thunderbolts down to kill them!"
Zheng Yi's eyes lit up and he subconsciously looked at Lei Shitou. This kid is really a genius.
This was also the reason why he asked people to develop hot air balloons.
Air-to-ground bombing is a huge killer when facing enemies on ordinary battlefields! "Has the hot air balloon been successfully developed?"
"Reply to Your Majesty, not yet." Zhan Liang hesitated: "There are too few materials for burning, and it can only last for a short time in the air."
"What is it burning with now?"
"Charcoal and pebbles."
"Is there any fire oil?"
"Fierce oil?!"
Zhan Liang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Yes! Wei Chen will take someone to try the fierce fire oil!"
"You did a great job."
Zheng Yidao: "Promoted Zhan Liang to the title of Doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and promoted Lei Shitou to the title of Yuanwai Lang of the Ministry of Industry."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The two of them knelt down in excitement to express their gratitude, especially Lei Shitou.
He was originally just a little Taoist priest, but he actually became an official of the Sixth Ministry, and he was also an official of the capital. I don't know how excited he is.
"You two should study hard. If the research is successful, I will have a reward!"
"No!"
After returning to the palace, Zheng Yi continued to cultivate moonlight Gu.
As time went by, the blood-colored light on Moonlight Gu became more intense.
Standing outside the hall late at night, you can see with the naked eye the moonlight as thick as the mouth of a bowl shining on Moonlight Gu, constantly absorbing it.
After absorbing the essence of the moon, Zheng Yi put away the moonlight Gu and showed up in Chu Xiu Palace.
Since Bihe became pregnant, he has not stayed in her womb for a year.
Today, when Jingshifang came to pay his respects, he discovered that Bihe's sign had actually been put up.
Remembering that Bihe possessed the "White Lotus Reincarnation Magical Art", he immediately decided to go to Chuxiu Palace tonight.
In the palace, Zheng Yi held his second daughter, Princess Jinxia, and teased her for a few times before handing her over to her aunt.
The two girls have been together for more than two months and have become fat and white after feeding.
It was completely different from the little monkey when it was just born. The wet nurse obviously fed it carefully.
"Your Majesty."
After taking the child away, Bihe immediately leaned over.
After giving birth to the child, Bihe's figure became plumper and more mature.
Especially on the chest, there was an alluring milky fragrance that almost made Zheng Yi choke.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. I'll wait for you to change clothes and wash up."
"Well, my beloved concubine has worked hard;."
Zheng Yi nodded lightly and allowed Bi Bin to do it.
Soon, the clouds stopped and the rain stopped, and Bihe fell into a deep sleep.
But Zheng Yi's mind sank into the Yin Yang Baojian and started to check it.
[Absorb the yin energy, "White Lotus Reincarnation Divine Art" internal strength +1. 】
[The "White Lotus Reincarnation Magic Art" enters the second level. 】
"Huh? Bihe's strength has improved?"
Zheng Yi thought in his mind, and with a thought, lines of writing appeared on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror again.
【Lord: Zheng Yi】
[Talent: Yin and Yang]
【Lifespan: 24/125】
[Kung Fu: The Second Level of "White Lotus Reincarnation Magic Technique" (1/1000)]
[The third level of "Hundred Battles Bloody Sword" (10000/10000)]
[Comprehensive strength: First Grade]
[Innate Spiritual Energy Progress (Level 1): 3/10]
The total life span has been reduced to 125 years, and the "White Lotus Reincarnation Magic Art" has entered the second level.
However, the overall strength is still lingering in the first-level realm.
"Can you break through the bottleneck by giving birth to a daughter? Bihe is also lucky, or is it related to the pure yin energy?"
Zheng Yi hugged Bi He's plump body and murmured: "We will try her again after Luan'er gives birth."
