    I feel a little dizzy, but I still have to do this kind of invention and creation by myself.  Who told me to come here for cheating?

    Carefully screw the round-headed wood onto the hollow handle. Yulao and the others have developed a simple machine tool.  Although it can't deal with iron weapons yet, there is no problem with dealing with wood.  Since we can only use wood, let¡¯s use wood.

    After the two battles of Bingzhou and Shuofang, Yunhao began to think about the main problems with current firearms.  First of all, the power is not very powerful, although it is already shocking in this era.  However, it was far inferior to the explosives of later generations. Iron-shelled grenades did not produce enough fragments, and their lethality was also unsatisfactory.  When Yunhao was cleaning the battlefield, he took a special look and saw that many Turks were killed by shock rather than by bombing.  Some of them are fucking scary.

    ??Also, the grenade is made into a ball shape, so it can¡¯t be thrown very far.  Yunhao remembered that in later generations, an ordinary guy with militia training could throw a wooden handle grenade thirty or forty meters.  As for today's grenades, only a sturdy man can meet this standard.  Yunhao has never seen anyone who can throw something fifty or sixty meters away.

    Since there are so many shortcomings, it is definitely not something I can tolerate.  When the Yun family held a grand triumphal banquet, a group of old guys drank and composed poems.  Yunhao really couldn't stand the bragging of these intellectuals, so he pointed at the two mountains and expressed his most primitive obscenity.  It made Yunhao want to take them to Huichun Tower to see the various undulating mountains.

    Helpless Yunhao could only discuss academic issues with Mr. Yu, but was arrested early the next morning by the curious Mr. Yu.  Start developing new grenades!

    Grenade with wooden handle, can be thrown far and easy to draw fire.  You don¡¯t even need to carry a tinder, you can still use it on rainy days.  With so many advantages, there is no reason not to tinker with it.

    In order to increase the power of the explosion, Yunhao specially added many small steel balls between the gunpowder and the wooden handle.  Even though this thing is only the size of a soybean, the splashing effect of a hundred steel balls is amazing.  It's a bit troublesome to pull the fire tube. I can't figure out the detonator yet.

    Let¡¯s not talk about whether mercury fulminate can be tinkered with. Lead azide alone will kill you.  The chemical industry of the Tang Dynasty was not primitive, but did not exist at all.

    Since detonators cannot be used, flint has become the only hope.  Carefully install the fire tube, and then put in a pound of gunpowder.  Tighten the bolt, and then hand the grenade weighing three kilograms to Xiong Kuohai.  This kind of dangerous work still needs strong people to do it.  This guy is tall and strong, so he can definitely throw the grenade the farthest.

    Although it is an experiment, everything is simulated according to actual combat.  Xiongkuohai unscrewed the back cover gracefully, revealing the iron ring and the match rope inside.  With a firm tug, the grenade began to smoke.

    "Throw it!" Yunhao jumped into the bunker, yelled and threw the wooden handle grenade in his hand.

    This guy is really good, and I haven¡¯t seen him use any force in his approach.  The grenade weighing three kilograms was thrown a full fifty steps away by him. "Bang" and a burst of gunpowder smoke filled the air. Yunhao stuck his head out and looked at the armor worn on wooden piles in the distance, standing tall in the gunpowder smoke.

    "Is there too little charge? It doesn't look very powerful." The old fisherman also poked his head out and was a little discouraged when he saw that the armor seemed to be undamaged.

    "With more charges, the power is greater, but the weight is too heavy. Ordinary soldiers cannot throw it very far. On the battlefield, distance is life. The distance of thirty to fifty steps is a long distance for those Turkic cavalry.  It¡¯s a matter of an instant. Besides, for longer distances, you need to rely on a trebuchet. That thing can be thrown twenty or thirty kilograms, and it should be more powerful than this." Yunhao said as he and the fisherman walked out of the bunker made of sacks.  .

    At the beginning, everyone was skeptical and wanted to find something wrong.  But when they came in front of this armor, everyone's eyes widened.

    The dark pure steel armor is far more protective than any armor of the Turks.  But now, this armor is covered with dense holes.  There are even one or two pieces of sawdust missing in some holes.  When can wood penetrate steel?  If it were on the battlefield, the person inside this armor would definitely die miserably.  Even if you don't die, it will definitely be painful.

    The old fisherman carefully inspected the armor. The wooden frame inside was filled with steel balls.  After checking the depth of the steel ball, the old fisherman shook his head.  "The charge must be increased by at least half a kilogram. It is better to be heavier to ensure sufficient power. With such force, it can only hurt the flesh but not the bones. With the strength of the Turks, there is no guarantee that some guys can endure the huge pain  Keep fighting. Make sure to break their bones so they can't keep fighting."

    "Then increase the charge by half a kilogram. One and a half kilograms of explosives is already the limit. No matter how heavy the charge is, the soldiers will not be able to throw it far enough. A distance of fifty or sixty steps is enough for them to throw two rounds of grenades. This way, the grenade can be thrown to the greatest extent  to kill and injure enemy troops,It's easy to have an accident.  Everything we create has the power to destroy heaven and earth.  If ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder fails to explode, Lishan will tremble three times.  "

    "To put it bluntly, you have to put your head in the waistband of your trousers to do this job. We don't dare to use any of those prisoners of war. We are just afraid that some extreme ones will secretly do something bad and we will all be finished."

    While talking and walking, the day's experiment is over.  Both of them were very excited, and Yunhao happily invited Mr. Yu to his house for a drink.  The happy old fisherman readily agreed, and the two of them walked out of the academy side by side as the sun set.  Followed by a large group of fierce-looking strong men!

    Lintong has become more and more prosperous, and the hard stone roads are paved with gravel.  Then asphalt is poured on top. When the kerosene is boiled, there is a lot of asphalt left, which is used in road construction in Lintong.  There are curbs made of bluestone on both sides of the road. Walking on the dark road no longer feels like bluestones poking your feet.  The carriage driving on it will not be as bumpy as before.

    Some people even say privately that riding a carriage in Chang'an is a punishment, but riding a carriage in Lintong is a pleasure.  The censor Yanguan carefully verified whether it was the rebellious guy who said this and whether he was building momentum for Lintong Hou's rebellion.  Finally, the perpetrators were found, but they didn't have the guts to go to Tai Chi Palace to impeach Li Yuan for his nonsense.

    There are rows of three-story buildings on both sides of the road, all of which are various stores.  In the most remote corner, there are many stores with red lanterns.  When single men pass by, they will be approached by madams wearing heavy makeup.  Some guys give in half-heartedly, and some guys take advantage of the old bustard first. It's a real red light district.

    Lintong has never banned the pornographic industry. Yunhao knows that this oldest business in mankind cannot be banned.  In later generations, the police cracked down on pornography and illegal activities every day, but bathing centers and pedicure centers were still closed all over the world.

    It¡¯s better to comb than to block. In Lintong¡¯s porn industry, you have to pay heavy taxes.  The madam and those women who have fallen into disgrace are ordinary taxpayers and are protected by the law.  Elsewhere, it is common for clients to beat prostitutes.  But in Lintong, this kind of thing will lead to lawsuits.  According to Yun Hao, if I collect your taxes, I can't let others kick your ass.  Unless you like it!

    Opening a brothel in Chang'an City is impossible without the support of the underworld.  Which brothel doesn't have a few tough thugs?  In fact, the exploitation of prostitutes is heavier than the tax on Yun Haoshou.

    There is no such exploitation in Lintong, nor are there those prostitutes who keep their doors open and engage in unfair industry competition.  The government servants did not dare to collect any other benefits besides collecting taxes, and they did not even do the minimum to use their hands.  You know, there are bonuses for working as an errand in Lintong.  Once the money is collected and someone finds out, even if the relationship can be transferred to another place, this objective unplanned income will be gone.

    With so many convenient conditions, Lintong¡¯s pornography industry has experienced a blowout development.  In just six months after Yunhao went on the war, brothels sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.  In an extreme period of time, a large number of excellent practitioners and loyal consumer groups emerged.

    Even the dandies in Chang'an City now don't go whoring in Chang'an City.  We specially set up a carriage and came to Lintong to enjoy the hot spring water skiing while exposing the beauty's fragrant cream.

    Many brothels have even joined forces to formulate an industry service standard system called ISO90.  This programmatic document with strong guiding principles has become a required course for new entrants into the industry.

    Yunhao and Yu Lao were walking when suddenly there was a loud noise in front of them.  Someone actually dares to cause trouble in Lintong(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
