Take the Warehouse To The Great Ming

Chapter 502: I want to build artillery

   "Look carefully, this is the West, which can also be called Europa."

   Fang Xing's first class this morning, and the students are looking forward to his class.

   Fang Xing often digressed during lectures, but the content he mixed with was very fresh, quoting from the sidelines, and fascinating.

   A big map hung on the blackboard, and Fang Xing held a pointer and talked freely.

   "Everyone thinks Europa is small, right?"

   The students below all nodded one after another, which could be distinguished by the naked eye, and Europa was not as big as it was.

   This is because Fang Xing counts the grassland into the land of Ming Dynasty, which adds up to at least 15 million square kilometers of land in Ming Dynasty.

   "Although it is small and there are many countries, it should not be underestimated."

   "The Europa people are undergoing a revolution, an ideological revolution."

   Fang Xing's pointer slid down to the beach, "What will this innovation bring? It will bring expansion, for food, for resources, and for slaves."

   "We have a big ball under our feet. I have already talked about this. On this ball, the land is not occupied, but the ocean is more."

The students below were all listening attentively. Fang Xing’s pointer slid back and forth between east and west, and said in a deep voice: “The expansion and communication are inseparable from the ocean. Waiting for us to open it again with the help of horses and camels. On the business road leading to the Western Regions, the Europa people would take a big ship, hold a musket, grinning and **** away all the wealth that can be taken away, and drive other races of color to mine and farm..."

   "So we need the ocean!"

Fang Xing saw that the time was almost up, and summed it up: "Da Ming cannot leave the ocean, because wealth comes from the ocean, and danger also comes from the ocean. We can't avoid it, let alone close the door of the country, and then we have the dream of going to heaven. Until I was awakened from a dream by a saber and a musket."

   Class is over, Fang Xing walked out of the classroom slowly, thinking of the term "hardship and gun", and went to Jubao Mountain Guard with a heart move.

  When they arrived at the barracks, it was time for the morning exercises. Lin Qunan welcomed Fang Xing in. The two of them looked at the smooth rotation array, and they couldn't help feeling happy.

  The rotation speed is related to the output density of the firepower, so it must be practiced and practiced frequently.

   Fang Xing watched for a while, then went to the workshop when he switched to assassination practice.

The scale of the    workshop is a bit bigger than before, but the manpower is still that much.

   Zhu Fang is leading the craftsmen to create new flintlocks. After a series of processes, the finished products are put on the side, looking full of power and beauty.

   "Can you build a cannon."

   Fang Xing took out a drawing. On it was a thick tube with several hoops and a cross-shaped bracket.

  Zhu Fang looked at the drawing and frowned: "Uncle, is it the same as a gun?"

"almost."

   Fang Xing pointed to the opening and said: "First load the gunpowder, then the iron ball, and finally the fire will be ignited from the fire door behind."

   "This has to be a shelf."

   Zhu Fang picked up the pencil pinned to his ear and drew a shelf underneath, and then said dissatisfied: "It's still a little bit off. The recoil must be great. This shelf has to be considered."

   Fang Xing is not worried about the gun mounts, this is not a problem at Zhu Fang's level.

   "Look carefully and see if you can build a gun like this with iron."

   Zhu Fang frowned and calculated on the paper, and said with a frown, "Uncle, I'm afraid it won't work with iron! I guess it won't be used many times before it will be used."

   Seeing Fang Xing’s bewildered face, Zhu Fang hurriedly explained: "Uncle, if you use iron to cast this type of cannon, the charge will not be much, and the range will not work!"

   "Where is the steel?"

   Fang Xing thought that steel should be ok.

   But Zhu Fang smiled bitterly: "Uncle, the steel is still unstable, and if the steel cannon is cast, the cooling process is not easy to control!"

   This involves a professional issue, Fang Xing has nothing to do, so he has to say, "Try more on your side. If it really doesn't work, then bronze will work."

   Bronze is also a copper alloy. It has good performance and is a good material for making cannons.

   It's just that Daming lacks copper. If the gun is made of bronze, the cost really makes Fang Xing a little moved.

   But you have to try, otherwise, when faced with the attack of the enemy's group, Da Ming lacks long-range strike firepower.

  Small catapults are good, but the first is the lack of range, and the second is that they can only throw clay pots or cast iron bombs.

  Think about the scene of the roar of artillery, one by one iron **** rushing through the enemy's formation, the visual impact will surely make the enemy's morale plummet.

   Just do what you want, Fang Xing hurried to find the Ministry of War.

   "Is Jin Shangshu there?"

   The concierge of the Ministry of War said with a sad expression: "Master Shang Shu is very sick."

I go!

   Fang Xing had to step back and find the next best thing, and found Shi Kui.

   "Want copper?"

   Shikui shook his head as soon as he heard it: "Xing He Bo, copper is not the mastermind. You have to go to our Master Shangshu."

have to! Fang Xing had to go to Jin Zhong's house.

   Jin Zhong's family looked very ordinary. After Fang Xing gave his name, he waited for half of the payment before anyone came to welcome him.

   It was the housekeeper who came to greet him. Looking at his expression, Fang Xing's heart shook, thinking that Jin Zhong wouldn't belch!

   If Jin Zhong belched when he came to visit, his reputation would be stinking.

  Sad God!

   When I got into the bedroom, I felt a strong smell of medicine.

   Jin Zhong, who was sitting leaning on the bedside, looked at the old man, his face turned pale.

   "The official body is suffering from a disease, Xinghe Bo, please forgive this official for being rude."

   Jin Zhong's voice was a little faint, he pointed to the chair beside the bed, and began to gasp.

   After sitting down, Fang Xing thought for a while, and finally said what he wanted.

   "Copper material?"

   Jin Zhong frowned and said, "My Daming's copper is scarce!"

   Fang Xing remembered the documentary that he had watched later. Those tons of copper coins were unearthed in the ancient tombs. He couldn't help frowning and said: "Daming is short of copper, but Fang thinks that there is still some copper for the cannon."

   "How powerful is the gun Xing Hebo said?"

   "The range is less than a thousand feet, UU reading www.uukanshu.com uses an iron ball, which is powerful."

   Jin Zhong closed his eyes and thought about it, and finally said cautiously: "Take some and try it first. If it works, your Majesty will naturally have something to say."

"no problem."

   Fang Xing originally just wanted to try it first, and he couldn't help feeling like Jin Zhong greatly increase.

   This person is not only a James in the Zhan Shifu, but he was also ordered to assist Zhu Zhanji. It stands to reason that his relationship with Fang Xing should be relatively close.

   But Jin Zhong never took the initiative to meet Fang Xing, nor did the other party Xing give an opinion.

   So this is the first time the two met.

   Jin Zhong groaned for a while, and when he turned his eyes on Fang Xing's body, he coughed: "Uncle Xinghe, it's not easy for grandson, you used to persuade him."

   Fang Xing was startled: "Why did Lord Jin say this?"

   Heaven and earth conscience, Fang Xing felt that Zhu Zhanji was good enough. Apart from some love for beauty and some indecision, Zhu Zhanji was a qualified heir.

   can hear the meaning of Jin Zhong, it seems very dissatisfied.

   "You can't let Taisun become the target of public criticism!"

   Jin Zhong breathed hurriedly, and after slowing down, he continued, “Isn’t it better to have your Royal Highness here, is it better for Taisun Taoguang to keep your time? You have caused the anger of all the officials like this, and everyone is against you!”
