    We arrived at another hilltop.

    The impact point of the cannonball was found.

    Here, it was already burnt to a crisp.

    What¡¯s scary is that all the nearby trees and branches are swaying here and there.

    Although the tree trunk showed no signs of being destroyed, the tree was riddled with holes from the steel balls that had been shot out.

    Look at this lethality.

    Zhang Mao was a little confused.

    Whatwhat's going on?

    This thing can still bloom?

    During the Hongzhi Dynasty, blooming bullets did not appear. However, in later generations, archaeologists excavated some blooming bullets from the late Ming Dynasty in Inner Mongolia. This thing is a round hole on the surface of the sphere that protrudes from the platform, and then passes through the hole.  Insert a "drug twist" to detonate, which is different from the early Western explosive bombs.

    Fang Jifan¡¯s idea actually lies in this.  He'd seen it in a museum before, and it was a bit rough.  Because black powder is difficult to explode cannonballs, people came up with a way to deliberately leave a thinner place near the powder twist. Because the position of the powder twist is at the muzzle, the shell will not explode when it is fired.  It explodes immediately, but once the gunpowder in the shell begins to expand, this weak spot will be quickly exploded, and the steel balls inside will instantly fly out along the 'broken bank'.

    When gunpowder splashes out, because the temperature rises rapidly, it may even spit out tongues of flame, which is very likely to cause a fire.

    Flame plus steel balls, no, the cost of steel balls is higher. In fact, these things are iron beads, and even many iron beads are still rusty. The more rusty the iron beads are, the more powerful they are. Once they are shot out,  After entering the human body, these rusty iron beads will cause 'carbuncle' in the human body. In this era when there is no treatment for tetanus, if you get 'carbuncle', you will basically die.

    What's even darker is that when these rusty iron beads are injected into the human body, they will not die immediately. In other words, the injured people will continue to consume the enemy's rations, and because the carbuncle gradually begins to break out, it will cause the enemy to die.  The army is a huge burden. There are so many incurable diseases and injuries. If you abandon them, morale will inevitably be low. Everyone has a heart of sorrow for the death of rabbits and foxes. If you do not abandon them and let them consume your food and herbs,  Even slowing down your marching speed, this is a trap.

    In addition, cannonballs are actually made of copper. Copper is relatively soft and not as hard as steel. When it is fired, it will deform slightly due to the rifling.  As a result, the shell's mouth cracked slightly, and some copper sheets flew out, and also shot into the tree trunk.

    Of course, Zhang Mao couldn't think about so much. He tried hard to dig out an iron bead from the trunk. After careful observation, he couldn't help but be speechless. The iron pillar penetrated half an inch into the trunk. How powerful this was. And this  Nearby, there was almost no grass growing.

    It has high accuracy, can shoot far, and is very powerful.

    Those squatting tiger cannons are simply trash.

    Zhang Mao recalled the years when his father was stuffed into the muzzle of the Crouching Tiger Cannon when he was a baby. These deeds, because they were too legendary, have always been circulated in the Beijing camp. However, all the veterans at the time talked about the posthumous title of Prince Dingxing.  General Zhang Fu's military deeds would always bring this incident up to prove how Prince Dingxing had taught his children well during his lifetime.

    This artillery obviously cannot hold a child, which made Zhang Mao sigh. If artillery is like this in the future, wouldn't it be a lack of traditional military culture?  I also want to hold my grandson and stuff it into the muzzle of the cannon for education in the future. The muzzle is a bit small and cannot fit in it.

    ??????????? I feel very distressed, people¡¯s hearts are not as old as they used to be, and traditional culture is severely lacking.

    Phew

    Zhang Mao's face suddenly glowed red. He looked at the prince and Fang Jifan and stretched out his hand: "Who made it according to the drawings?"

    Fang Jifan pointed at Zhang Weiyu.

    Zhang Mao's eyes shone, and he stepped forward and patted Zhang Weiyu on the shoulder: "Wang Gongchang was built by so many people even though so many people couldn't make it, but you made it. This is not only the credit of the successor, you also"  You have done a great job, II will go back and report it now, I will go back and report it now"

    Zhang Mao danced excitedly: "Just wait, your majesty will be overjoyed when he sees this thing. He will be extremely happy. When the time comes, you will be rewarded heavily."

    Heavy rewards.

    Zhang Weiyu was busy scratching his head. As the most handsome man in the Zhang family, he showed a humble smile: "I will serve you This is a matter of course"

    Zhang Heling¡¯s eyes straightened a little, and then his eyeballs began to move. A big reward?  He was happy and laughed: "My dear nephew, uncle is really happy for you.?, take it back to your children to eat and let them see the world.

    At this time, everyone was smiling happily.

    Feeling extremely comfortable, someone joked: "It doesn't matter if we go to sea just for these cans."

    Chen Ergou was happy. It was such a good life. As long as he had enough food, drink and supplies, he even felt that going to sea was no longer a hardship. Where else in the world could he find such a person who could not only make a fortune but also be able to do so?  Good thing about canned food.

    It is getting dark, and in the early spring, thousands of lights are lit.

    In the still chilly capital city, Chen Ergou and others' night life has just begun. What follows is laughter and sweet-sounding playing and singing. From time to time, haha ??is heard.  Laughter.

    But at this moment, Zhang Mao didn't sleep all night. He was pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

    "Master, we are going to the Zuling Mausoleum tomorrow. Master, you are still not asleep? Don't waste your time."

    "I'm not going." Zhang Mao shook his head and answered decisively.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
