In mid-April 185, Qingcang discussed development plans with two major staff members in the main city, and suddenly a phone call sounded from beside him.

That's right, he spent a month connecting the buildings in some important locations of Huaxia City with telephone lines, and through these phones, he made quick contact, and no longer had to run between guards, improving efficiency. At the same time, a preset camera was set on the city towers of Bagua City Wall. When it was built one day, he could command the troops through remote control. Although it could not be arranged too comprehensively, he could issue orders in a very short time to complete the issuance of defense and other instructions.

"who?"

Wang Zongwei's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Commander, I am Wang Zongwei. If you have time, come and I'm at the North Gate."

"Oh? Why are you so panicked?"

Actually, it was exciting, it sounded a little too fast.

"It was the cannon that made great progress."

Wang Zongwei quickly explained.

"So? Well, I'll go there now."

After saying that, he died. He excitedly said to Xun Yu and Guo Jia, "You two follow me to the north gate and let you see something."

Xun Yu asked, "What is it? It made the commander so excited."

Guo Jia also asked, "Yes, Commander. What is it?"

You should know that Qing Cang's mood has always been calm, and now he has become so excited that the two of them feel a little strange, so he asked a few more questions.

"It is hard to describe it to you for a moment, you will know if you go with me."

"Come on, prepare a carriage!"

"yes!"

After a while, a carriage was prepared outside the main city, and several people got on the carriage and headed towards the north gate. It has to be said that the Huaxia City was undergoing a large improvement at this time, and everything was under drastic construction. Five asphalt roads have been built, and these five roads are the early main roads.

The carriage was driving on the asphalt road without a bump. Xun Yu and Guo Jia had more than the first time they sat there, so they became accustomed to such comfort.

Wherever they went, people came out to wave to show respect.

This time, Qing Cang only brought a 100-man guard team to go with him. These people have excellent martial arts skills. When encountering special circumstances, they can react as quickly as possible. The three commanders were sent to the barracks to train soldiers. During this period, he was not idle and constantly improved the formations. The so-called "If you want to do something well, you must first sharpen your weapons. These formations are his weapons. It is not to say that if you close the city, you should ignore these. He wants to keep the army strong in combat power at all times.

The carriage soon arrived at the north gate. When they left the north gate and passed the Bucheng River, they saw Wang Zongwei and his group fiddling with a cannon cart not far away. This was not a crossbow cart, but a real cannon.

After seeing this, Xun Yu said, "Why is there such a strange thing?"

Guo Jia is the same. "What's the use of that big iron lump?"

It can be said that except for a very small number of people who know the existence of cannons, no one else knows that there is this thing, and it is normal that they don’t understand it. The fewer people know this kind of thing, the better.

Qing Cang smiled and said, "You will know later. Let's see how powerful it is!"

When the two of them heard this, they guessed seven or eight points, especially Guo Jia, who saw that Qing Cang would bring more things.

He said, "Commander, is that black long thing a weapon?"

"Hahaha, that's right, come with me!"

After Qing Cang got off the carriage, Wang Zongwei came over.

"I've met the commander, two chiefs of staff."

Qing Cang nodded and said, "How are you prepared?"

"Return to the commander, you are ready!"

He brought Qing Cang to the side of the cannon, this black big guy,

The barrel is nearly three meters long, the pipe wall is very thick, and it is gradually thickened from the muzzle to the tail. There are cylindrical gun ears on both sides of the center of gravity of the gun body. The cannon can adjust the firing angle with this axis and change the range with the amount of gunpowder. The caliber of this cannon is 110-130 mm and weighs about 4,000 kilograms. In addition, there are also sights and gauges on the cannon, which calculates the ballistic according to the parabola, and has a high accuracy.

After carefully checking the cannon, he said, "Yes, the workmanship is already very good now, I believe we will definitely surprise us in a while."

"The commander can see, let's see, prepare the shells."

The soldiers were prepared before launch in turn.

"Commander, we have several mounds of earth ten miles away from here, and in a moment the cannon will destroy one of the mounds."

When Xun Yu heard this, he asked, "Is this thing so powerful? Can it destroy something ten miles away?"

This has far exceeded his cognition. How could an ancient man know that there were things like cannons?

Guo Jia was not much better either. He obviously didn't believe that this long guy could scatter the mound of soil ten miles away.

"You can see the two chiefs of staff."

Wang Zongwei said proudly, because he made this thing by his master and he had tried it several times, so he dared to ask Qing Cang to come and inspect the cannon and let him see how the cannon performs.

"Then we have to see how powerful this thing is."

It’s hard for the two of you to say anything else, just wait until you see it before you can talk about it.

"Please see! Come and be ready to aim!"

The soldiers began to adjust the height of the muzzle. The muzzle should not be too high. The range of too high will be limited, nor can it be too low, because the shell has gravity, and the gravity will pull it down and it will also not be shot far.

When the muzzle is adjusted to a certain angle, this angle is measured by them, and with enough gunpowder, a range of ten miles can be achieved.

"fire!"

With Wang Zongwei's order.

The fuse was ignited, and then sparked from the muzzle, and accompanied by a loud sound, the sound was very loud, which scared the two staff members, but they were even more surprised. After the sound, a large amount of dust rose from the distance. Guo Jia immediately picked up the telescope and looked at it, saying, "This thing is so powerful! It can actually hurt something ten miles away!"

Xun Yu took the telescope and looked at it, saying the same thing.

Qing Cang kept smiling and said:

"Minister Wang, come and introduce this to our two advisers."

Wang Zongwei nodded understandingly and said, "Yes, the two staff members, the thing in front of us is called cannons. Driven by gunpowder, the shells in this chamber are bombarded to achieve the goal of killing the enemy."

He explained this, but the two of them didn't understand.

...

Wang Zongwei explained for a long time, but they still had no idea. Finally, Qing Cang had to say, "You don't need to understand the principle. This is my killing weapon, and Huaxia City will be forever in the future."

Guo Jia said: "If we install them on various city walls, it is not that the enemy will not be able to get close to us!"

"Yes! I'm going to do this, Minister Wang!"

"exist!"

"I want you to cooperate with Xu Dezhi to build one hundred cannons and ten thousand shells in one month, and every month you will use this as the benchmark, only until you reach 100,000 cannons. The same is true for gunpowder, and it is necessary to produce a large amount of gunpowder."

"Yes! Commander."

"The flintlock rifle also needs to be researched at a faster pace. I want to replace the slamming soldiers so that they can use more powerful weapons. Moreover, this weapon must be produced in large quantities. It and cannons will become the two major killing weapons in my Huaxia City."

"Yes, Commander, I will definitely speed up my research!"

When Qing Cang heard Wang Zongwei say this, he felt relieved. At the same time, he strengthened the confidence of the two major staff members present. When the cannon finally achieved success, it was the real beginning of unification.
Chapter completed!
