Chapter 488 To Make a Gun, First Strike Iron

The power of Gatling made Wang Shao's body tremble, and Wang Xi even slumped on the ground. The old concepts in their minds were smashed like the earth wall opposite them.

What is the use of me reading so many military books? Even if Sun Wu Wu Qi reappeared and led the army of tigers and wolves to attack, I am afraid that there is only one way to die when encountering such an enemy? Wang Shao opened his mouth, but did not make a sound.

After all the bullet chains were emptied, Shen Long took Gatlin back and looked at the two of them silently. When the gunpowder smoke cleared for a long time, the two of them recovered. Wang Yu looked at Shen Long as if he had grasped the straw to save his life. Hastily came over and begged, "I also ask the Taoist priest to grant me such an artifact!"

Since Daoist Shen is willing to hand over fairy seeds such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn to Da Song, and teach him how to cultivate and plant them, he should also be willing to teach Da Song how to build these magical weapons, right? If you have these, what is the party item? What is Khitan worth? Jurchen and Mongolia in the future are also not a problem! It is only a matter of time to conquer the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun!

"I would like to ask you to give me your advice." Wang Shao also came over and knelt down. The man has gold under his knees. Let's see when, if Da Song can really get such a magical weapon, let alone kneeling, he will let himself die. Wang Shao was also willing.

"It's easy to say, since I showed it to you, it is natural to teach it, but in your lifetime, I'm afraid you can only see the second type of firecracker at most! The rest are not what you can see." Shen Long Help them up, "It's still the same as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn. I will teach you how to make these firecrackers. As for how much you can learn, it's up to you."

"Okay, there's so much commotion inside, and we've been in for so long, the people outside may have to wait, so let's go out earlier!" It seems that Wang Shao's ability to govern the army is really good, and there is such a commotion inside, Wang Shao Hou didn't send anyone in either.

When the three of them went out together, Shen Long praised Wang Shao's method of governing the army, and then said, "Compared with swords, guns, bows and crossbows, there is another advantage of firecrackers. I think you can also understand that the construction of firecrackers is extremely It is complicated, and the skilled craftsmen of our Central Plains have always been far superior to the surrounding barbarians, and it is not easy for Dangxiang and Khitan to learn from Song Dynasty to make such weapons."

"Furthermore, firearms are extremely dependent on ammunition. Without ammunition, firecrackers are equivalent to fire sticks. Therefore, it is easier for the imperial court to control the army. As long as the factories that produce ammunition are firmly in their hands, there is no need to worry about the recurrence of the disaster in the town." Perhaps this is what the Song court cares more about.

Wang Shao and Wang Yu nodded secretly when he heard this, but he was thinking in his heart. He didn't know whether it was difficult to make the firecracker, whether the ammunition was well equipped, and if it was really necessary to build a workshop, where should it be built?

"Father, Ya Nei!" At the mouth of the ditch, I saw that Wang Hou had already drawn his sword in his hand, and he firmly blocked the servants of Wang Yu's family. Chu Wang Hou couldn't hold on any longer.

The hand holding the knife was a little trembling, and seeing the three of them come out safely, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait, what's the reason? Could it be that what I said doesn't work anymore?" Compared with the two, Wang Yu was embarrassed by his servants, and he immediately scolded, "After returning home, get the family law first, and if you commit crimes again in the future, you will be chased immediately." Get out!"

"The villains are all worried about the yamen..." The leader wanted to defend himself, but seeing Wang Yu's eyes getting colder and colder, he quickly shut up and bowed down.

"Let Daoist Priest and Zichun laugh!" Wang Yu blushed, and apologized to Shen Long and Wang Shao.

"It's okay, Yuanze is also tired today, why don't we take a short rest and go back to the city together!" Shen Long said with a smile, this tiredness is not just the physical fatigue caused by hoeing. The psychological pressure is even worse.

Going back to the shady place by the ground and sitting down, Shen Long took out a few more cans of Red Bull and divided them among everyone. Wang Hou wanted to come over and ask Wang Shao what happened in the ditch, but was driven away by Wang Shao. He knew about the incident. It's a big deal, and the fewer people know about it, the better.

"Master Dao, there was quite a lot of movement just now, and there were many traces left inside, why don't you let me take the child there to clean it up?" Wang Shao was afraid that outsiders would see those shooting traces and leak some information.

"You don't have to worry too much, just let Chu Dao take someone there." Chu Dao is Wang Hou's word; Shen Long is not very worried, now there is no concept of firearms, even if someone goes in and sees the mess in the valley, I'm afraid it will only be attached to the gods and monsters.

Wang Shao called Wang Hou over again, whispered to him, Wang Hou's face became more serious, and immediately selected a few trusted men to go back to the ravine. He came back with a few packages, and he didn't need to guess that the packages must be the shell casings and projectiles they found.

Moreover, in order to cover up the traces, Wang Hou also set a fire. The thoughts of Wang Shao and his son can be called meticulous, Shen Long nodded slightly, "Leave a few people to watch, so as not to burn to other places."

"I'm going to go there now." Wang Hou replied, he had already arranged manpower to defend the surrounding area, and he would not leave until the fire here was completely extinguished.

"In this case, I will entrust it to Chu Dao!" Shen Long nodded and stood up, "It's getting late, let's go back to the city first, don't worry about Yuanze, it won't be too late to come back to farm tomorrow; oh, yes, I will write after I go back today Come out with an experiment log, write down all the experience of hoeing the ground today, and I will check it tomorrow."

"Yes." Wang Yu immediately agreed, and then he started to have a headache. He could write both poems, songs and edicts, but what is this experiment log? What format should I use? How to write? Seeing that the Taoist leader didn't seem to have any intention of explaining, I'm afraid I have to go back and think about it myself.

Back on the main road, Shen Long, Wang Shao, and Wang Yu rode forward on horseback. The servants of the two families spread out to separate the passers-by on the road so as not to disturb their conversation.

"Zichun came to the capital for the first time, and he hasn't arranged a place to live yet, right? Let the nobles go to the post house to rest first, and Zichun might as well go to my house with me to talk." Wang Yu recalled the records about Wang Shao in the history books, So I invited him to meet Wang Anshi, and by the way, told Wang Anshi what happened today with him.

"Then I will be disrespectful." Wang Shao thought about it and agreed.

After walking for a while, Wang Shao still couldn't hold back and asked, "Dare to ask, how to make this firecracker?"

"If you want to make a gun, you have to forge iron first. I'm afraid Da Song's current iron materials can't make such weapons." Shen Long said, now Da Song's weapons are not even as good as Xixia's, so how can we make gun barrels.
