¡°This is the result of our latest attempt, plus the cost of labor, it¡¯s all here!¡±
Hu Yancang quickly took out a booklet from his arms. This thing has been calculated many times.
"Thirteen thousand strings?"
Liu Deng frowned. Compared with his previous psychological price, this amount was indeed far behind.
"However, this thing must come slowly with technological advancement, and Liu Deng knows this very well in his heart.
However, this number is already acceptable.
"What about the lifespan? How long can it be used?"
After Liu Deng thought about it for a while, he asked again.
"The best result among the subjects currently being tested is three hundred rounds. After all, this thing is so powerful that even steel cannot withstand too many rounds"
Three hundred rounds!
Liu Deng was thinking silently in his heart, otherwise how could he say that a cannon fired would give him ten thousand taels of gold!
This is indeed a waste of money!
Not counting anything else, the depreciation cost of the barrel alone is already forty!
¡°Coupled with the loss of gunpowder and shells, this is almost sixty or seventy shots per shot!
This is a total waste of money!
However, this always requires a process.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a strange gold in the outside world, which is made into a sword. Although it is as soft as hair, it can cut gold and break jade!"
At this moment, Hu Yansheng¡¯s words really reminded Liu Deng.
yes!
The problem with artillery barrels is that they must withstand the huge impact when gunpowder is fired.
This has extremely strict requirements on materials, but as long as the materials are improved, the lifespan of this thing can be greatly increased.
Besides, when the number of artillery is sufficient, the number of three hundred rounds is enough to support more than a dozen large-scale battles!
Just behind Liu Deng, Princess Yana was also making rapid calculations in her heart.
Thirteen thousand guan can only be used for three hundred rounds. She has no idea how much one shot costs. However, she only knows that this thing is very expensive!
She could only hope that Liu Deng could not afford to build this thing, and could only create a few doors to deter it. For this reason, she even began to pray to the Changsheng Heaven in her heart.
"Then let's build a hundred doors according to the current specifications first!"
It¡¯s a pity that the omnipotent Chang Sheng Tian couldn¡¯t control the Han Dynasty. Liu Deng¡¯s words directly pushed her heart into hell.
One hundred doors!
Liu Deng¡¯s ability to make money really filled her heart with a sense of powerlessness. Are the Han people now so wealthy?
"Your Majesty, we also have some smaller artillery here. This thing is more suitable for killing infantry at close range!"
After Hu Yansheng heard Liu Deng¡¯s words, he immediately began to promote his hard work.
"Let's see the power together!"
Liu Deng was noncommittal. These gun barrels looked like they weighed just over two thousand kilograms. After assembly, they should weigh less than three thousand kilograms.
" Two or three horses should be able to pull it. This thing is going to Yanmen and Yunzhong City. Not to mention the Huns, even if they are immortal, they will have to shed their skin!
Dozens of cannons fired in unison, and Liu Deng was already looking forward to the scene of being hit with a bloody head when the Huns attacked the city.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment!"
After Hu Yansheng finished speaking, he went back to work on his own.
A moment later, the same cattle and sheep were placed a hundred and fifty steps away.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Yansheng waved the command flag in his hand, followed by a loud sound, and immediately heard the wailing of cattle and sheep.
This time the distance is much closer, so it looks more intuitive.
Princess Yana witnessed with her own eyes the tragic situation of those cattle and sheep being penetrated by projectiles.
The cattle and sheep wearing leather armor were beaten directly into a sieve, and the dense blood holes looked so terrifying.
She seemed to have seen the tragic situation when the charging Huns cavalry suddenly encountered this thing.
"The leather armor on these cattle and sheep were all seized from the Huns. This gunpowder is wrapped with one hundred and fifty steel balls. In an emergency, if there are no steel balls, stones will do the same!"
There was a strong smell of blood in the air. As Hu Yansheng continued to explain, Princess Yana's hands and feet were already cold.
"My lord, what do you think of this thing?"
Hu Yansheng's face was full of pride.
"How much does this thing cost?"
Liu Deng looked around at the cannon that had just been fired, and was very interested in it.
"The size of this thing is obviously too much thought. It doesn't even need a carriage to drag it. It is estimated that soldiers with stronger bodies should be able to carry it.
"This thing is much lighter, weighing less than three hundred kilograms in total! Moreover, the most important thing is that it is cheap. If it is cast on a large scale, the price of each door will be about eight hundred guan!"
This is what Hu Yansheng is most proud of. With its low cost and impressive power, this thing can perfectly replace the crossbows in the hands of the Shenwu Army.
"How long can it be fired continuously?"
Liu Deng¡¯s eyes indeed lit up.
If this thing can be activated continuously in a short period of time, it would be really a supreme weapon.
"If you fire continuously, the entire barrel will start to heat up after five times at most"
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. This thing is light and light, so there is nothing we can do about it.
"Five times"
If it is launched in the three-stage method used by the Shenwu Army, five times seems to be enough.
¡°If it¡¯s an emergency, you can also pour water directly to cool down, but if you use too much water, it may explode¡±
Hu Yansheng hesitated for a moment, and then continued to add.
"As long as the quantity is enough, this thing is indeed not bad! Let's build five hundred doors first!"
After thinking for a moment, Liu Deng immediately found a suitable place for this thing.
Lingnan is mountainous and has complex terrain. Isn¡¯t it a good place for this thing to show its power?
And the loud noise of this thing has a strong deterrent effect on the barbarians.
After all, in the eyes of those uncivilized barbarians, this should be a weapon belonging to the gods!
"No!"
After receiving Liu Deng¡¯s permission, Hu Yansheng immediately burst into laughter.
¡°After all, he spent so much effort, if he couldn¡¯t put it into mass production in the end, wouldn¡¯t all their previous hard work be in vain?
After explaining the important things, Liu Deng walked around the valley with them a few more times. After learning about their various difficulties in detail, he also made appropriate arrangements.
Princess Yana was like a wooden figure, following Liu Deng step by step. She didn¡¯t even remember how she got back to the carriage.
"Why don't you speak?"
The car drove onto the smooth official road again. Liu checked the unfinished documents and asked casually.
"You are a devil!"
Princess Yana was trembling all over, and her breathing began to become heavy.
"Have you ever seen Fushi City after the Hun cavalry ravaged it?"
"Have you ever seen that section of the Great Wall that was stained with blood?"
"Have you ever seen the village after the Hun cavalry trampled it?"
¡°Do you believe it or not, if you run outside to the market and shout that you are a Huns, countless angry people will rush out and tear you to pieces!¡±
"Open your eyes and look at the entire Dai Kingdom. Just in this city of Jinyang, is there any family that doesn't share the sworn hatred with the Huns?"
"A murder must be paid with a life, and a debt must be paid with blood. Is it possible that you, the Huns, are only allowed to kill our Han people, and we are not allowed to fight back?"
Liu Deng¡¯s series of questions directly left Princess Yana speechless.
