    "Your Majesty, what should we do here?"

    Seeing that Liu Deng was about to leave, Shunzi asked quickly.

    "Find someone to build the wall! Find some pieces of cloth to cover it outside first! You can take care of such a small thing yourself!"

    Liu Deng said something impatiently, then got on his horse, taking Mo Ji, Hu Yan brothers and Cai Xin with him, and headed straight for the weapons supervisor.

    "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you catch up with me!"

    Seeing Liu Deng just leaving, Shunzi quickly kicked the subordinates around him.

    The guards hurriedly chased after them, and the group of people disappeared into the night.

    "What happened?"

    Xu Yin, who was also in Jinyang City, naturally heard this voice.

    This thunder-like sound gave Xu Yin a very bad feeling. After all, the last time it sounded, he was near the center of the explosion.

    "If it weren't for his natural vigilance, coupled with his excellent kung fu, and his close men and women standing by to protect him.

    Maybe at this time, even he will have to explain where he is!

    "It seems to be the direction of the weapons inspector, but I don't know what they are doing"

    The sloppy man said in a low voice.

    "Then go and find out for me, I want to know what happened!"

    Xu Yin¡¯s eyes widened and he said seriously.

    "No!"

    Just when he was confused, Liu Deng finally arrived at the weapons supervisor.

    However, the behemoth that appeared in front of Liu Deng now had several cracks.

    It is obvious that this was not done properly during casting, and the placement of the gunpowder seems to be a bit too much.

    "Your Majesty, this is still in the preliminary stage. The first gate has just been cast. Today is the first time I try it"

    Cai Xin rubbed his head in embarrassment, but Liu Deng didn't bother to tell him this.

    He took the torch from the hand of a guard and moved closer.

    Looking at the black gunpowder left on the barrel, Liu Deng fell into deep thought.

    "When placing this gunpowder, wrap it in silk cloth in advance and then put it in, so that it won't get everywhere!"

    Although the fixed gunpowder is only a detail, it is the basis of modern artillery.

    After all, what Liu Deng wants is mass production. When it is finally put into the army, this thing now needs to be used by a large number of soldiers.

    How far is the distance and how much gunpowder should be put? If there is no quantitative measure, should we let them rely on feel?

    In this day and age, there is even a lack of flaw detection methods for these cast items.

    If the problem of the gunpowder content cannot be solved, I am afraid that before the shells are sent out, the shells will have begun to explode on a large scale on their own positions!

    "But, if you use silk, will it stick to the barrel?"

    Cai Xin always asks questions when she has something, so naturally she won¡¯t let things like this go.

    "After the silk burns, the remaining ashes will be gone as long as you blow it away, so there will be no problem! Moreover, after our experiment, we can determine the amount of medicine!"

    Although Mo Ji was the latest to join this project, it is obvious that the Mohist theory is really not reliable!

    For these rare knowledge, you can get it at your fingertips anytime and anywhere!

    "No, I just think there was too much gunpowder this time. Otherwise, it wouldn't have hit the palace directly. Just this one blow, the barrel of the gun almost exploded! Tsk tsk tsk, five thousand guns, just like that.  son"

    Hu Yancang was obviously a little frightened, and this time it was really a bit thrilling.

    Originally, I wanted to prepare a surprise for Liu Deng, but now it almost turned into a shock.

    "It doesn't matter if we make a mistake once. As long as we can be better than this time next time, what does a mere five thousand guan count?"

    Liu Deng directly interrupted Hu Yancang¡¯s words. No one knew better than him what this thing meant!

    This is the real path for the development of gunpowder. Compared with the glory that will follow, what does a mere five thousand guns count?

    "As expected, you are still so majestic! Why do you always worry about money? Can those bastards compare with the power of this thing?"

    Cai Xin looked excited. Recently, the expenses of the Wuhan Research Institute have been quite high.

    The weapons supervisor¡¯s account was so big that he couldn¡¯t do anything about it. After all, he wanted to cast such a large-scale artillery.

     Moreover, the casting requirements are so high that there cannot be a single trachoma. This is an almost impossible task.

    There is no precedent to follow, so they have to rely on themselves.

    Crossing the river by feeling the stones is the scariest thing, because you never know what is under the water.

    ¡° Moreover, this process is an extremely money-consuming process. Each large-scale smelting requires materials, manpower and material resources. The total amount is definitely a number that makes ordinary wealthy people prohibitive.

    "Stop talking about these useless things here, just tell me how many copper coins I need!"

    Liu Deng rolled his eyes at him, this kid has always learned to play tricks.

    "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from the king. I'm forced to have no choice. The expenses here have been a bit high recently. In less than a month, nearly 100,000 yuan have been burned  ¡­¡±

    When he heard this number, even the corners of Liu Deng's mouth twitched. These guys are really burning money.

    You must know that in this day and age, the total number of people in Jinyang City with a net worth of more than 100,000 yuan definitely does not exceed 300.

    They would burn through 100,000 yuan a month. If Liu Deng hadn¡¯t been so good at making money, I¡¯m afraid there wouldn¡¯t be many people in the world who could withstand their burning

    "How much money do you need? Just report the figure to me later. From today on, all expenses of the Wuhan Research Institute will be listed in a separate account. There is no need to go to the Ordnance Supervision for the account!"

    Liu Deng hesitated for a moment, and then continued.

    After all, the money that should be burned must continue to be burned. Now they are actually very close to success.

    Now, this first shot has proved that they are heading in the right direction!

    As for the cracking of the barrel, on the one hand it is because they put too much gunpowder, and on the other hand it shows that there are still flaws in the casting process.

    If you find this reason, mass-produced artillery is just around the corner!

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Even Mo Ji, a giant of the Mohist family, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

    ??Spend a hundred thousand dollars without batting an eyelid!

    ¡°In today¡¯s world, I am afraid that only His Highness the King has such great courage.

    "Don't be too busy thanking me, but I have something to say beforehand. From today on, your experiments can no longer be done in the city! You are lucky today and did not hurt anyone. What if you were hurt?  What should I do if someone arrives?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
