It's very simple. This device is actually quite simple, it is composed of springs and several steel castings. Of course, flint is an indispensable thing. The flint is driven by the spring, and sparks are scratched on the iron sheet in front, igniting the gunpowder leads, and... Then... I naturally have to test it myself to realize it's amazing, and I can't wait. Well, we always like to see the results with our own eyes before we dare to put it on.

I went to the shell factory first, got a shell for the artillery and a wooden grenade, and started to modify it on the spot. With the efforts of these craftsmen, two mines were modified in less than half an hour. I took it to the test gun field in the distance. I looked up and saw that the territory was too empty, and there were no advance requirements, so there were only four sheep. I touched my chin. It didn't matter, the four sheep were enough. "It doesn't matter, let's just be here, with the center area of ​​the mineburying as the center point, and we can also test the power of this thing."

"But sir, this thing needs to be triggered by people. The sheep are tied to the edge, and there is no way to step on it. The trigger device." The craftsman on the edge scratched his head. I laughed: "It's okay, just pull a rope on the machine bracket and pull it away. At that time, we can operate it within dozens of meters, instead of having to use someone to trigger it with his hands."

After hearing what I said, everyone around me was lit up. I didn't say much nonsense. I asked a craftsman to take out a folding engineer shovel, immediately dug out a shallow pit half a foot square, and then carefully place the reformed landmines in. Covered with a layer of floating soil, fix the mine modified with shells, and then opened the machine bracket, tied it with a long rope, and then carefully retreated. At this time, Dong Jinxuan had tied the three sheep at a distance, half a meter, one meter, one meter, five meter, and two meter to the tree stump. A semicircle was formed around the place where the shells were buried.

We all hid behind a cement wall more than ten meters away. On this cement wall, which was nearly a foot thick, there were several looking holes. This cement wall was specially designed to facilitate people to observe the power of various firearm explosions. Those sheep seemed to have a sixth sense of danger. Although they were tied to the edge of the wooden stake, they still shouted, and their four hooves kept trampling, trying their best to leave here.

I prayed silently, hoping that among these sheep that sacrificed for the development of the Tang Empire's firearms, it would be better that there would be no souls of time travelers, otherwise, it would be strange if this girl would not be angry with the Time and Space Administration for accusing me.

Dong Jinxuan, who was beside him, volunteered to become the firing hand for using landmines, and held the rope tightly. He looked at me. I took a deep breath, and after reaching the edge of the lookout, he nodded gently. Dong Jinxuan hooked his fingers, and suddenly, there was a bright white light in front of him, and then there was the deafening roar and the flying loess that covered the sky. All the people who squatted beside the cement wall snorted in excitement.

However, the ball of loess flying up from the power of the ground fog seemed to be deliberately teasing people, drifting slowly over. We were covered with sleeves, squinted our eyes and rushed forward. Fortunately, the wind was strong, and in a short while, the originally heavy smell of gunpowder in the air seemed to have gone away with the dust of the sky and the ground. When everything in front of us became clear, we saw it in a tragic situation. The four sheep were not there, but had to survive. After all, the killing radius of the artillery shells of the Tang Dynasty was not small. At least within a radius of three or five meters, if a shrapnel or a steel ball in a shell was caught, if you were lucky, you might be able to save it. If you were not lucky, you would be just a waste.

The four sheep were covered with broken shrapnel and steel balls, and some of them were even penetrated and killed. The most terrifying thing was the sheep within half a meter range. Well, except for half of the head and tied to the rope, the other torso was no longer known where to fly, and the wooden stakes were all inlaid with shrapnel and steel balls, and the wood chips that were blooming were everywhere.

From this we can imagine that although the power of the Tang Dynasty artillery is not as good as that of the shells in later generations, the lethality of the shells made of this best-formulated gunpowder is already the ultimate destructive power before the emergence of chemical gunpowder.

Dong Jinxuan took several breaths like toothache: "Master Yuanzheng, if this thing is buried on the enemy's march, I'm afraid it will be..."

I nodded: "Yes, this thing is the best weapon for defense. With this thing, if it is placed around the barracks, are you still afraid that the other party will not be able to trap the camp? In addition, with this flintlock equipment, even in the rainy season, my Tang Dynasty firearm can be used as usual, without worrying too much about the climate that completely loses the combat power of my Tang Dynasty firearm." There will definitely be some impact, but after this flintlock device is improved, at least the firearm will not be seriously weakened in harsh climates.

Moreover, I am also very satisfied with Dong Jinxuan's performance. I can quickly find out the magical use of this weapon. It is worthy of being a standard trainee soldier who graduated from the Military Academy and has a high military literacy. The mines are mainly used to form minefields to block the enemy's actions, kill the enemy's vitality and destroy their technical equipment. They are a gunpowder weapon with strong defensive and blocking properties. His appearance has increased the variety of gunpowder weapons to a certain extent.

I tilted my head and glanced at Zhong Hua, nodded at him and said, "According to the second-class contribution, we will give these veteran craftsmen rewards. Everyone, your contribution certificates will be distributed to you at the same time. Thank you for your hard work. Your efforts will reduce the casualties of my Tang Dynasty soldiers. I am here to express my gratitude to you."

I sincerely shake hands with these old craftsmen one by one. The old craftsmen who have been dealing with firearms all year round have red faces, and their expressions are both happy and excited. After all, if they make achievements, they can get rewards and certificates. Although this thing is not valuable, when the contribution certificate in their hands reaches a certain number or contribution, they will receive a low-level title. Although they only have the title and no physical reward, after having this thing, their descendants can enter the school to participate in the imperial examination.

The newly-appointed title of the Tang Dynasty had already begun to adopt this model a few years ago. Although it was opposed by some old people, it was more praised. First, the country can save a lot of money and financial expenses. In addition, regardless of origin, as long as it is made contributions to the country, it can benefit the family, making the country's recruitment of talents wider, and at least most knowledgeable people are firmly supported. Moreover, for the people engaged in various industries, they can also see a sense of hope and have a greater sense of dependence and trust in the Tang Empire.

"Thank you, sir. In fact, these are all things that I should do." Although the craftsman in the lead was red with an excited face, he could suppress the urge to joy and said modestly to me. I shook my head: "Haha, I admit that this is what you should do, but this contains a lot of your hard work. I am just doing things according to the rules and regulations of my Firearms Bureau. The so-called rewards and punishments are clear, and the soldiers use their lives is not only applicable to the army, but also to you. Without your hard work, you would not have achieved the results today. So, this is what you deserve. Lord Zhong, I will trouble you tomorrow."

"Sir, don't worry, I will handle it according to the rules and dare not slack off." Zhong Hua clasped his fists at me and said. Then, he directly lit the lead of the wooden grenade with a flintlock device and threw it hard dozens of meters away. Another roar was heard. I was very proud. After all, using this thing is similar to a lighter. Well, it seems that it is time to make a lighter. I just don't know if those who went to the Zuoyuan to buy hot turbid oil have returned.

During the war during the Wude period, the great military advisor of the Eastern Turks went south and surrounded Jiuquan City, Gansu. The local military and civilians ignited the "sulphur oil", burned the enemy's siege tools, defeated the enemy, and defended Jiuquan City. This news was discovered by accident by me in the Staff Academy. I naturally knew that this thing was undistilled oil. Can I let go of such a good thing? Hand-kill! Netizens uploaded

Not to mention, the power of the incendiary bomb is terrifying in later generations, not to mention that I long for soldiers to use flint there without having to camp every time they set up camp. Well, using flint to make fire is both troublesome and inconvenient. With lighters, this thing can definitely make a lot of money by selling it. Although I have already lost counting the money, after all, my original capital accumulation period has long passed, but for the sake of the basic education of the Tang Dynasty, I will vigorously build various private institutions in the future. Therefore, money is still an indispensable thing for me.
