Chapter 480 Transfer

According to Jiang Lang's intention, the Ming Navy immediately sent a large number of people to come. The large group of people entered this village frightened the people. They watched the fully armed soldiers drive into the valley with fear.

As for the old man, Jiang Lang did not lose much, and he was given a loss to him. He was frightened and said he didn't want anything at first, but in the end he couldn't hold on and took it carefully. Fifty taels of silver were not a small amount. Seeing that the old man was holding white silver in his hand, it was natural that the envy of the villages was negligent.

After the soldiers arrived, under Sun Yuanbiao's arrangement, they immediately surrounded the place and were completely blocked. No outsiders were allowed to enter and exit the entire valley. One of the reasons why Jianglang attached so much is the value of oil, especially in military affairs, which is still easy to attach. It is undoubtedly the best choice for naval warfare. At the same time, it is also good to set fire when attacking land. Although a lot of oil was buried underground in the Ming Dynasty, it was all within thousands of meters. Without mining equipment, it would definitely be impossible to mine it. So the oil flowing out now seems particularly precious.

After the soldiers surrounded the place, in order to prevent being discovered by high-strong people, many soldiers immediately began to transport the oil to the base. This was sailing at sea, and there were many wooden barrels used to hold water. So they were immediately used at this time. A large number of wooden barrels were transported, and then loaded into the wooden barrels and transported to the ship. However, the oil was very irritating, so Jianglang asked the soldiers responsible for transport to cover their faces with towels to prevent poisoning.

The oil has been flowing for a lot of time, and a fish pond has accumulated in this valley. In addition to the circle of fully armed soldiers outside, there are thousands of other soldiers carrying oil. Fortunately, this small village is not very far from the harbor under construction, but it takes a lot of time to go there.

After transporting hundreds of barrels back to the base, the pool of oil was lowered, and the oil was also exposed. It was a crack near the mountain. Oil like a fountain was leaving out. It seemed that the oil hidden deep in the underground was probably flowing out because of some underground reasons.

For some oil fields, the oil flowing out is just a drop in the ocean, and for Jianglang, it is a rare opportunity, so he ordered people to increase their manpower. As for the oil that has been transported to the base, they will be loaded immediately and planned to transport it back.

When it was dark, Jiang Lang also returned to the military camp. On the boat, Jiang Lang immediately designed the incendiary bomb according to the original incendiary bomb. However, the cannon at this time had no rifle, which means that after the shell was fired, it did not move forward in rotation, but rolled forward. In this case, even if the principle of the fuse was understood, there was no way to build it. Therefore, Jiang Lang had to think about it, only think of it on the shell.

To explode the shell, there must be explosives inside. To explode, fire naturally needs. However, the shells do not have a fuse, so they naturally cannot rely on the shells to explode by impact when they contact the target. In other words, if the shells need to explode, they can only rely on fire outside. In other words, they can only load a fuse for the shells, and then calculate the time, so that the fuse will just ignite the gunpowder inside the shells after the shells hit the ground.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Jiang Lang started writing, which was somewhat imitating firecrackers. Half of the iron ball was hollowed out, and then a hole flowed out. It could be blocked with a plug made of wood. A lead was installed in the plug of wood, and gunpowder was installed in the hollow iron ball. When firing, the lead was towards the gun barrel. After the shell was fired, the gunpowder in the barrel was burned to ignite the fuse on the shell. In this way, after the shell flew out, the lead burned in the plug to prevent it from being blown out by the wind. However, the only trouble is that when the shell was loaded, the lead had to be ignited in the plug, so that the lead was ignited while the shell was fired. At the same time, the time for the lead to burning must be three to four seconds. After all, the flight speed of the shell was not fast at this time, and the maximum range of the artillery was only a few hundred meters. The shell could fly for several seconds at this distance.

As for incendiary bombs, this is probably the same, but the only difference is that the shells are separated into two spaces, one for oil and the other for gunpowder to ignite the splashing oil everywhere when the gunpowder explodes, thus forming a combustion effect. Of course, Jiang Lang also knew that such a level of combustion was not comparable to the military incendiary bombs used in the original society, but in a blink of an eye, such shells are already good now.

After the drawing was completed, Jiang Lang wrote a letter at the same time, which explained in detail the functions of these two ammunitions, and emphasized that you should be very careful during the test. After all, controlling the combustion time of the shell fuse is a very important and a very critical issue. If it is not controlled well, it is likely that the shell will explode when it is out of the bore, which will hurt people.

Of course, Jiang Lang also forgot to write clearly the result after the successful use of this shell, which means that the Ming Dynasty could completely form an artillery unit. What kind of role did artillery play in the war? Jiang Lang naturally knew that artillery was later referred to as the god of war! Powerful artillery can hit cavalry and infantry fatally, just like in the late Qing Dynasty, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty faced the artillery of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and had no effect at all.

After writing these, it was already dark. There were already thousands of barrels of wooden barrels transported to the harbor. Moreover, these oils were loaded overnight. Like Jiang Lang's letter, they set off overnight and were transported to the Ming Dynasty. Because this oil was very important, Jiang Lang simply lined up with more than 20 warships to escort it.

As for the oil that had not been moved, it was still transported here continuously. The second batch of soldiers transported and guarded were replaced. After all, Jianglang had people here, and the oil was loaded on the ship immediately after it was transported.

After resting for a night, Sun Yuanbiao came to report the following morning that the oil in the valley had been transported, and no oil was flowing out of the crack of the rock.

When Jiang Lang heard this, he felt a bit lucky. If he didn't take Zi Yu out for fun, he might have missed this thing. Because of oil, he had the idea of ​​creating a fire bomb. If he really built it, then when facing the enemy ship in the future, there would not be a situation where more than a dozen shells would be passed, and the enemy ships would still be jumping around alive except for being beaten with holes. Maybe a few shells could make the enemy ship surrounded by fire and be completely reimbursed.

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment, and it would be better to hide this matter. So he ordered Sun Yuanbiao to ask the soldiers to cut off the trees around the valley and set fire to that place. Of course, in order to prevent the fire from spreading, the fire must be controlled in some places. After all, there are strong people around.

After receiving the order, Sun Yuanbiao immediately arranged to go and see, so the strong people in the village strangely discovered that the soldiers standing guard had started cutting trees and cleared a circular passage, and then lit the fire. The raging fire immediately started to burn. It was not until after a few hours that the fire stopped and the soldiers retreated. Some brave people went to see it quietly, and there was nothing else but the burned darkness all over the place.

A few days later, Jiang Lang was checking the information sent, but at this time, he heard Sun Yuanbiao report: "Sir, Prince Gao Qiang is asking for a meeting!"

"Kanazawa Jun?"

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment, raised his head, collected the information, and then said: "Please!"

Soon, Jin Zeshan walked in with Sun Yuanbiao. Jiang Lang bowed and smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for several days. After returning to Hong Kong last time, the prince disappeared. I wonder where the prince has been going in the past few days?"

Shan Kanazawa politely bowed and said, "After returning to Hong Kong last time, I rushed back immediately because I received the summons from my father. I didn't say goodbye to you, so please forgive me!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and bowed, "Criminal, you're just a matter of disgrace. I'm just worried that the prince will encounter any danger. After all, the sea has not been peaceful recently. Many merchant ships passing by have encountered attacks from small Mumen Army. Since they have few people, we have no way to pursue them. We don't know where they are going!"

"I've been cared for by my Lord!"

Jinazawa Shin smiled slightly and thanked, "But I heard that the adults transported some black things in a valley a few days ago, will it be the Ming Dynasty?"

Jiang Lang showed a look of surprise and said strangely: "Criminal, I don't know who you heard of, what are those black things?"
