The whole country is still immersed in the joy of the opening of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Even the talented people who are preparing for the provincial examination have relaxed a little in the past few days.

Poems and songs about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will appear in the poetry and drinking parties of scholars, praising Liu Chen and praising Liu Chen.

As the king of a country, Liu Chen returned to the palace to correct the memorial after the opening ceremony of the Grand Canal.

In the previous TV series, the emperor paid a private visit incognito and did nothing all day long. Liu Chen felt that it was most likely fake.

These are all the ideas that the screenwriters brought with them, the idea of ​​the emperor's golden pole, and their obscene ideas.

When Liu Chen truly became the king of a country and the Emperor of Han, he was busy without touching the ground. Even if he occasionally leaves the palace, some civil and military officials will report the matter.

Anyway, there is no idle time.

Liu Chen suddenly missed his days as Changshan King, but sometimes there was no regret.

The throne is like a besieged city. Those who cannot get it have extremely high hopes, and those with strong ambitions want to rebel and usurp the throne.

And the person sitting on the throne is most likely a little bored.

During the day, he has to discuss national affairs with civil and military officials, and he also has to face conflicts between civil and military officials for balance.

After the court, memorials need to be revised, or small court meetings may be held to discuss important information that emerges unexpectedly.

In the evening, she also had to face the competition for beauty in the harem, and every concubine was thinking of ways to squeeze Liu Chen.

The three thousand beauties in the harem will really be squeezed dry!

Liu Chen felt more and more that the emperor's life was really boring.

On such a day, Liu Chen finally had the opportunity to visit the scene to investigate in person. This was one of the few days when she could take some time off.

The place I went to that day was the Han Academy of Sciences, whose full name is the Research Institute of the Han Dynasty Academy of Sciences.

It was formerly the forging yard of Liu Chen's Changshan Prince's Mansion, where glass, soap, alcohol, etc. were all produced.

After Liu Chen ascended the throne as emperor, he gathered all these materials that were extremely important to the Han Dynasty into the Han Academy of Sciences.

The workers who work here are all workers who work for the country's golden rice bowl. Management positions are all led by officials and have extremely high positions.

In addition, top students who graduated from the school joined in and contributed to the research, transformation, and invention of those items.

This has allowed the Chinese Academy of Sciences to develop more vigorously.

Liu Chen's gunpowder and artillery projects, as well as steam engine projects, are within the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

As of today, gunpowder technology has made rapid progress.

The formula of gunpowder is monosulfide, dinitrate and charcoal, which is very simple.

However, the specific ratio of sulfur to nitrate charcoal needs to be strictly tested. And every test is an extremely dangerous explosion test.

The gunpowder formula is naturally very important. If possible, it is best not to let others get involved.

But now Liu Chengui is the Emperor of the Han Dynasty and the king of a country. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, even if Liu Chen wants to test it, the civil and military officials will not agree!

Liu Chen could only personally order Guo Jia and others to select loyal people, and then conduct precise matching experiments.

Finally, I have made rapid progress in the past few days!

"His Majesty!"

When Liu Chen led his trusted officials, such as civil servants such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You, and military generals such as Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, they arrived at the Han Academy of Sciences. The densely packed officials, workers, and graduate students inside all bowed.

The demand for kneeling in the Han Dynasty was relatively high. Little, Liu Chen doesn’t want the Han people to kneel down like slaves. There is no major festival to worship ancestors, so there is generally no need to kneel down.

"Let all the nobles live in peace!

Liu Chen said calmly:"How are the results of gunpowder research?" Take me to have a look."

The person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately stepped forward and explained everything to Liu Chen and the general.

When he learned that the gunpowder had been perfectly matched and detonated successfully, Liu Chen was extremely happy.

However, the officials around him seemed a little a little bit I don’t quite understand, because I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, so I can’t understand the earth-shattering shock of the gunpowder explosion!

Liu Chen looked at the confused faces of Guo Jia, Xun Yu and others, and felt a little secretly happy. Today happened to be A test explosion test, I think these people will be shocked!

A group of people soon arrived at the test site of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences is like a military camp, with tight security, tight defense, and clear hierarchies. Some places are important, and some are not. place.

Daily necessities such as soap and glass are on the periphery. After all, ordinary workers must be recruited to work.

Military products such as gunpowder and repeating crossbows are at the deepest level. Ordinary people cannot enter at all. Even officials cannot enter without permission. Can't get in.

Many people present were here for the first time.

Under the leadership of the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they came to a test site, which was located in a barren mountain on the outskirts of the country, still some distance away from Changshan indoors.

Continuing to go deeper, everyone We are almost approaching the Taihang Mountains.

Everyone is surprised and confused. They don’t know what the person in charge is up to. Is he so nervous?

However, Zhao Yun and other generals are aware of it and have a look of expectation on their faces!

"Your Majesty, we are here!"

Liu Chen and others took their seats at the designated positions, and then the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made arrangements with the commander with a surprised look on his face.

After everyone was seated, the person in charge also distributed soundproof earmuffs one by one, which were specially made of cotton.

This cautious look aroused everyone's curiosity and appetite.

After everything was ready, the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences gave an order, and a soldier immediately stepped forward and lit the fuse.

呲呲岲

——Liu Chen's face was calm and very familiar. The fuse burned slowly, and then finally reached the detonation point.

Rumble - a thunderous explosion on the ground, just like thunder hitting the ground, directly blasting a huge hole..

Smoke and dust billowed in the sky, and aftershocks appeared on the ground like an earth dragon.

Everyone present was stunned and dumbfounded!

Even though many officials were wearing soundproof earmuffs, they were still so shocked that they jumped three feet high, as if their hair was exploding. Like a cat, it’s creepy all over!

"This, this is……"

Even a resourceful person like Xun Yu was shocked to the point of being shaken,"Is this the power of gunpowder? It's like the wrath of the gods!""

"How incredible! Guo

Jia took out his telescope and looked at the huge hole that exploded in the ground:"Isn't this powerful enough to blow through the city wall?""

"exactly! Xun

Yu came back to his senses and sighed:"If we can sneak into the enemy's belly and install this gunpowder, we only need to successfully ignite it to defeat the enemy!""

The surrounding officials were in a commotion, all discussing the power of this gunpowder.

This is the first time I saw this scene. If it exploded in the enemy's city, not to mention blasting through the enemy's army, just the sound of the wrath of the gods would be heard. It was enough to make their military morale collapse!

Guo Jia sighed, and after a long time he came back to his senses, looked at Liu Chen, and said flatteringly:"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and his talents are beyond our reach!"

"This kind of wisdom has never been seen before or since. It shocks both the past and the present!"

_

_

_ Without Liu Chen coming up with this concept, who would have known that the ratio of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal would trigger such a terrifyingly powerful explosive?!

This guiding light alone is enough to win praise from everyone!

Strictly speaking, they are not flatterers. Flattery, but sincere belief that Liu Chen’s resourcefulness is really enough to shock ancient and modern times!

After all, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, such as glass, soap, etc., are actually all conceived and conceptualized by Liu Chen! The

Chinese Academy of Sciences The person in charge was also convinced:"Your Majesty is the leader of science in the Han Dynasty!"

Liu Chen just accepted the praises from everyone, and then said calmly:

"Wen Ruo is right about one thing. If gunpowder can be thrown into the belly of the enemy, the morale of the army will definitely collapse! This requires cannons!"

Everyone looked at each other, what is a cannon?

Many people thought of ballistae, trebuchets, etc. Are they similar?

The person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences explained:

"A cannon is a round shell formed from gunpowder, and then fired from the cannon, like a trebuchet, into the enemy's belly!"

Then he talked about the structure and principle of the cannon. The cannon body is composed of the barrel, the breech, the breech block, the muzzle brake, etc.

Everyone who heard this was shocked and stunned!

This principle is almost the same as that of a trebuchet. But the power is very different. There is a difference between the sky and the earth!

If the Han army has cannons, no strong city can stop the attack of the Han army!

No matter how powerful the enemy's cavalry is, they only need to keep the distance. A single shot fired from a distance can completely collapse the enemy!

Because war horses cannot withstand the shock of such explosions, they will definitely stumble or even flee in panic!

Even if the enemy is facing this kind of thing for the first time It is absolutely impossible to withstand the attack of the wrath of the gods!

With artillery and gunpowder... the Han army will be invincible!

Not only can it be used in military affairs, some officials in the Engineering Department even thought of using gunpowder to open mountains and explode seas.!

With the help of gunpowder, the pressure of the project is instantly relieved. As long as the explosion range is set, even the high mountains can be flattened!

Thinking of this, they all asked expectantly.

"What about artillery? Pull it out and take a look!"

"I want to see how powerful the combination of artillery and gunpowder is?"

"If my general is equipped with artillery, no, if I just build an artillery battalion, I can sweep the world!"

Since Liu Chen proposed the concept of the world, these generals no longer have swept the world. They have swept the world. Amid everyone's expectations and curiosity, the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences shook his head and said:"The artillery hasn't been cast yet!"

"Isn't it just a barrel? Is it that troublesome?"Some generals with well-developed limbs and simple minds asked in confusion.

"hehe."

The person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences gave a contemptuous smile like a highly intelligent scholar, and then explained:

"It looks like a gun barrel, but it has an extremely sophisticated structure inside. It's not as simple as you think!"

"But in a month or two, the experimental products of artillery and muskets should be ready!"

Everyone's originally disappointed look suddenly brightened up!

It only takes a month or two, which is acceptable. If it takes several years or more, they really can't wait any longer.

"Musket? Xun

Yu discovered this new term, and then quickly thought:"Is it possible that it is a hand-held weapon like an archer's bow and arrow?""

"As expected of Xun Sikong, he is really smart!"

The person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences nodded and said:"The structure of the musket is more troublesome than the artillery. But if it succeeds, the archers will shoot directly with muskets."

"You can shoot more than ten shots with just a snap of your fingers! If developed in depth, it would be possible to fire dozens or hundreds of shots in a row with just a snap of a finger!"

"And there is no need to expend physical and arm strength to open the bow, you only need to hook your fingers!"

It took about ten seconds with a snap of the fingers.

This made everyone present even more horrified! Especially the generals Zhao Yun and Dian Wei seemed a little unbelievable!

With the bonus of their physical fitness, they had six times the attack power. The speed is increased. It can shoot more than ten times in a row with a flick of the finger.

Zhao Yun's Hundred Birds toward the Phoenix Spear is even more powerful!

But.

These are peerless generals like Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong!

Ordinary soldiers can't do this at all. Not this step!

Taking a step back, even if ordinary soldiers can do it, the arm strength and physical exertion after continuous shooting are also very terrifying!

However, the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that the musket only needs to be hooked with the fingers!

How could this not make them inexplicably horrified, their hearts were shaken like a storm!

The sound of gasps coming from the mouths of these peerless warriors was enough to prove the level of horror in their hearts!

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Chen and asked.

All the generals around him gathered their gazes, looking at Liu Chen with shock and expectation, wanting to find out the answer!

They didn't quite believe what the person in charge of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said. But Liu Chen They believed Chen's words!

Liu Chen was calm and composed, not at all as shocked as Guo Jia and other officials. He smiled lightly and said:

"The Qing family did not lie. This is indeed the power that the musket can achieve in the future."

"Of course, if you want to make such a musket, you will need more in-depth research and technology development. This shouldn’t be possible in the short term!"

If you want to achieve the step of continuous shooting, you need to reach the level of automatic guns.

However, the evolution of firearms has gone from burst guns, fire door guns, matchlock guns, flintlock guns, percussion guns, breech-loading guns, to the subsequent Automatic guns.

Even with Liu Chen's guidance, it will take many years to evolve. Some barrel rifling technologies cannot be achieved without two industrial revolutions.

What's more, in this life, with Liu Chen's ability bonus, the archer With the bonus of attack speed, the early stage muskets can be killed instantly.

Driven by the crossbow, the shooting speed and reloading speed of the crossbowman are not slow at all.

In terms of power, firing speed and distance, in the future, they will definitely focus on muskets. Development.

Of course, in the short term, this is a pie-in-the-sky prospect!

Even so, civil servants such as Guo Jia and generals such as Zhao Yun were still shocked by the power of muskets!

Technology cancan develop gradually.

If it could really be possible to fire dozens or hundreds of rounds with a snap of the finger, manpower would be impossible to stop it!

They were shocked by the future technology brought by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and they were also full of expectations!

If the Han army was equipped with gunpowder, artillery and muskets, it would be easy to dominate the world!
