The eunuch went to inform him, but not long after, he saw Mo Liu entering in a hurry. He spent most of the past six months or so at the Weapons Research Institute at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, developing new weapons.
Except for things that required his participation, Mo Liu came back for a visit. The rest of the time, he was almost always busy preparing for refining new weapons.
After Mo Liu stood still and was about to salute, Wang Qi said: "No need, tell me, what's the news?"
Mo Liu said: "Your Majesty, the cannon has been developed. We have experimented and found that the cannon's firing range can be aimed at about 800 steps. If it is farther, it will be troublesome. Moreover, the gunner's sight will also be tested. If he is not experienced For a person, it would be difficult to even take 600 steps, let alone 800 steps. But now, it has finally been developed."
After Wang Qi heard this, he never cared about the issue of eight hundred and six hundred steps. He believed in the talent in the military. As long as the weapons are developed and given to the army, it can change everything.
As for the improvement of cannons, this will come slowly.
Wang Qi ordered: "Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain now to take a look at the condition of the weapons."
Mo Liudao: "I obey the decree."
Wang Qi and Mo Liu hurried out of the palace, and then the group rode on horseback, heading straight for Zhongnan Mountain. Although the distance was a bit long, because of the rush, it didn't take much time to reach the military camp at the foot of the mountain.
The camp has been strictly guarded to prevent the leakage of information.
After all, the development of weapons is crucial. Once the weapon is leaked and Cao Xuan is prepared, it will be difficult to achieve a surprise victory. Cao Xuan didn't know that Qi had artillery and could win by surprise.
It is true that weapons must be kept secret.
After Wang Qi and his party entered, Mo Liu went directly to the cannon. Because of the mortar manufacturing technology and processes provided by Wang Qi, the mortars developed now are quite mature.
Mo Liu personally demonstrated to Wang Qi. As a cannonball fell into the barrel, a loud bang was heard in an instant. The cannonball flew past, passed through the air, fell and exploded.
The sound of explosion is unparalleled.
Not only can you hear the trembling sound from a distance, but you can also feel the vibration of the ground. There was even a huge hole left on the ground, which was left by the cannonball.
Wang Qi saw the effect of the shell exploding, and a bright look appeared on his handsome face. Because under the current circumstances, it is already quite good to be able to develop such a mortar.
??At least, it can meet the current military equipment.
Wang Qi walked forward in person, went to the designated location, and carefully checked the explosion situation. Because of the explosion just now, the ground was rugged.
Wang Qi looked at it and said: "For us, with the mortar, we have temporarily achieved the expected goal. Now we not only have defensive weapons, but also offensive weapons. Mo Shangshu, what we have to do now is Make stronger mortars. Especially mortar shells, I have some ideas.¡±
Mo Liu said: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Wang Qi¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of ferocity as he said: ¡°The artillery shell originally used the power of the gunpowder explosion to overturn the ground, fly up the soil, and repel everything.¡±
"This kind of power only uses the power of the shell explosion to damage the enemy, and it has not been developed to the extreme. However, what if some iron pieces or steel needles are mixed into the shell?"
"Once successfully added, when the shell explodes, these iron pieces and steel needles will become sharp weapons that harvest lives. No one can stop them wherever they pass, and their lethality is extremely powerful."
Hiss! !
After Mo Liu heard this, he took a deep breath.
It¡¯s really like that.
Such a weapon is simply impossible to resist. Even within the explosion range, countless people will be killed and injured.
Mo Liu nodded and said: "Your Majesty is wise, why didn't I think of this? Such an arrangement seems simple, but in fact, it is quite useful. The force of the shell explosion is tyrannical, and with the advancement of this force, it will inevitably Countless murders.¡±
Wang Qidao: ¡°Let¡¯s study in this direction.¡±
"I obey the order!"
Mo Liu nodded.
Wang Qi asked: "How is the research on rifles going now?"
The rifle is the most important thing.
According to the news sent back by Li Hongzhong, Cao Xuan¡¯s rifle was not the earliest flintlock gun, nor was it a musket that required ignition. It used flint to ignite and pull the trigger to shoot.
This wayYou can imagine how powerful the new weapons are. "
Hiss! !
Xiao Qingzhi took a breath of cold air.
No bones left?
Or, be killed directly. What a powerful weapon this is.
Xiao Qingzhi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what kind of weapon is this?"
Wang Qi said: "There are currently three types of weapons this time, grenades, landmines and mortars, all made of gunpowder. What we need to train now is the use of these three weapons. Grenades and landmines are simple and the most Mainly mortars.¡±
After a pause, Wang Qi ordered: "You select three thousand elites from your army to train. After the three thousand people are successfully trained, the next step is to divide them into other military regions. Because of this kind of weapons training, they will It will be the backbone.¡±
"I obey the order!"
Xiao Qingzhi agreed immediately.
Xiao Qingzhi was actually still a little curious in his heart. He asked: "Your Majesty, when will I be able to see this weapon?"
Wang Qi said: "You complete the selection of soldiers first, and you must select the most elite soldiers. Then, you personally take the soldiers to Zhongnan Mountain and contact Mo Liu from the Weapons Research Institute. He will provide weapons training. Then, you will temporarily A military camp is being built over there for training. Remember, it must be kept secret, and no one is allowed to come near the military camp."
"I understand!"
Xiao Qingzhi nodded solemnly.
In his heart, he was even more curious about what kind of weapon it was.
After Xiao Qingzhi finished talking to Wang Qi, he hurriedly left and went directly back to the military camp to make arrangements and mobilize 3,000 people, all of whom were the most elite soldiers.
There are even some top-notch experts among them.
I have never participated in the Grandmaster realm. After all, the Grandmaster¡¯s strength is extraordinary and there is no need to participate in such training.
Xiao Qingzhi took the people and went straight to Zhongnan Mountain. As soon as he arrived at Zhongnan Mountain, he went to the area where the research institute was located. The army stationed for rest. Xiao Qingzhi went directly to Mo Liu and explained his purpose.
There are plenty of grenades and gunpowder in the camp today, which are continuously manufactured, but what is lacking now is mortars, which are relatively complicated to manufacture.
Mo Liu personally called the craftsmen to demonstrate to Xiao Qingzhi grenades, landmines, and the made gunpowder.
Xiao Qingzhi originally didn¡¯t have high hopes. But when the grenade exploded after being thrown, Xiao Qingzhi was shocked, because the weapon of grenade is extremely simple, but its power is quite powerful.
Even if Xiao Qingzhi is a master at the master level, if he is not prepared, he will die or be seriously injured.
When Xiao Qingzhi noticed the power of the explosive packs, he knew that the Qi army on the ground was different because the weapons had changed.
Originally, Xiao Qingzhi felt that he was surprised enough. However, when he actually saw the range and explosive power of the cannon, Xiao Qingzhi was completely shocked. He felt that the concepts he had held for decades had been completely overturned.
Everything is different.
Everything that happened in front of him made Xiao Qingzhi's heart tremble. When there are no weapons such as grenades and cannons, the master is the master, and the great master is rampant in the world.
Nowadays, with the advent of gunpowder, even a great master, let alone a grandmaster, will be overcome with hatred under such a weapon. It is absolutely unstoppable.
No one is not afraid of such a weapon.
Of course, with these weapons, we can truly compete against Cao Xuan and even the Haixi Empire.
After Xiao Qingzhi understood it, he carefully learned about gunpowder, grenades and other weapons. He must first learn it himself and understand it thoroughly before he can personally teach it to the soldiers in the army.
Three thousand soldiers are not here to play.
It takes real practice.
After Xiao Qingzhi became familiar with it, he began to conduct drills to further enhance the combat effectiveness of the army. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
