Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A month later, the military port was buzzing with gongs and drums, because today, Si Guo's first warship had been completed and was about to be launched into the sea. The warship was slowly rowed into the sea along the track, making waves.  .  The deck area of ??the warship is the size of a football field, and the two sides of the ship are lined with cannons, twenty on each side. Qian Xiaoxing and others boarded the ship and began the first trial voyage.  Lan Sha stood at the bow of the ship very excited, directing the sailors in an orderly manner.  Because I personally participated in the construction of the entire ship, I know the functions of this warship very well. It is precisely because of this that I am very looking forward to it.  Seeing the sharp armor on the bow of the warship and the lack of a name on the hull, Lan Lin couldn't help but ask: "Xingxing, does this warship have a name?" Qian Xiaoxing thought for a moment and said, "Don't you want revenge?  Then call it Blue Ringed Snake Revenge, what do you think? " "The meaning is really simple and clear, but adding my nickname is a bit selfish, I think it will be called Revenge!" Lan Lin replied.  As the sails rose, the Revenge gradually left the harbor. Another mission today was a live-fire exercise. A target ship was already parked a hundred meters away from the warship.  The warship arrived at the attack position, and the cannon on the right side of the ship was already aimed at the target ship. Qian Xiaoxing asked: "Lan Sha, how are you training with the 10,000 navy I gave you? Can you hit the target?" Lan Sha  Sha looked at the position of the target ship and said confidently: "With this distance, I'm sure I can hit it." "Okay," Qian Xiaoxing picked up the telescope and said, "Let's start!" After hearing this, Lan Sha said  The order was given: "Everyone on the starboard side, fire at the target!" As soon as the order was given, the explosions of a row of cannons were heard. After a burst of smoke, water columns were seen rising to the sky at the position of the target ship, and half of the cannonballs had hit the target.  The target ship was beaten to pieces, leaving only some wood chips floating on the sea.  Qian Xiaoxing was quite satisfied after reading it. The accuracy of ancient cannons cannot be compared with modern ones. The only way to calculate the hit rate is by quantity. Qian Xiaoxing said: "Yes, although half of them missed this time, I think Lin  The Chinese warships are much larger than this target ship, so it is easy to hit them. " "Yes, it is fun to hit those big ships!" After training for so long, the results of today's live ammunition exercise were good, Lan Sha said happily: "Before.  In previous naval battles, we could only fight at close quarters. Now that we have cannons, we can fight at a distance. Our ships also have steam engine propellers, and they move very fast. When the time comes, we only need to keep a distance to fight Lin Jun, and we are guaranteed to win." "Well.  "It seems that Lin Jun's warship can only become our target, haha!" Qian Xiaoxing laughed.  On the way back, Lansha asked the sailors to lower the sails and turn on the steam engine to propel the propeller. The warship was also at a good speed. After a test voyage, it returned to the harbor.  The news of Si Guo's construction of warships also reached the ears of King Lin. It can be said that King Lin spent a lot of money to build warships this time. He originally planned to seize control of the sea, and then continuously transport troops there, from  Si Guo launched an attack from behind. Originally, this plan was very good, but Si Guo also started building warships, so he and Si Guo had to compete with Si Guo in terms of naval strength.  King Lin ordered to speed up the construction of warships, shortening the original period of half a year to four months. He hoped that before Si State could build the warships, Lin State's navy could land in Si State.  Qian Xiaoxing naturally also knows the importance of time. The warships are being completed one by one. According to this progress, they will all be built in two months.  Qian Xiaoxing named the cannon the Shenwei Cannon. A warship requires forty, and fifty means two thousand. Naturally, these cannons are not only used on warships, but also set up an artillery regiment in the independent division.  , equipped with a thousand cannons. Now the artillerymen have stepped up training to become familiar with the habits of the cannons and improve their hit rate.  For the cannon developed by Qian Xiaoxing, the shells are divided into explosive shells and shotgun shells. The explosive shells will explode when they hit the ground. It is not difficult to do. Just make the shell into a bomb, and use gunpowder to ignite the bomb's fuse when it is launched.  Can.  Shotguns are weapons for close range attacks. A lot of iron beads are added to the barrel, and gunpowder is used to explode and then shot out. The killing area is very large.  Using explosive bombs at long distances and shotguns at close range has a very wide killing area. In future wars, Qian Xiaoxing also plans to use artillery as the main weapon, and coordinate with other armies. The emergence of artillery in this age of bronzes is undoubtedly a reversal.  The weapon of heaven.  No wonder Sima Yiqing was filled with emotion when he returned to the room after watching the cannon shooting scene, and said to Sima Chuchu: "With such a magical weapon, what army can't be defeated? No matter how powerful the strategy is, it can't resist it."  Live with the powerful cannon." Sima Chuchu responded: "Father, it's a good thing that we are from Si State now, otherwise we would be beaten by such a cannon.?I was so angry that I vomited blood.  " "The country is waiting for talents to emerge. It is no longer my time. The future belongs to Qian Xiaoxing.  "Sima Yiqing sighed. Sima Chuchu smiled and said: "Father, you want to take off your armor and return to the fields, but you can't do it now.  Sima Yiqing smiled and said: "Haha, the old saying is right. The daughter who is married is the water she throws away. Now you are helping Qian Xiaoxing. Don't worry, I will definitely die of exhaustion with my old bones."  .  " "If Si Guo can unify China, my father's name will remain in the annals of history forever.  "Sima Chuchu said. "Yes, unify China!  "Sima Yiqing doesn't want to unify. When he was in the Hu State, he tried his best but could not break the deadlock of the Three Kingdoms. Now, although it is still the Three Kingdoms, the situation has changed greatly. Seeing the powerful cannon made by Qian Xiaoxing, the cause of unification  The future is even brighter, Sima Yiqing said: "According to historical records, China was unified in four hundred years, and no one has reunified it in the past four hundred years. I hope I can see it in my lifetime.  " Sima Chuchu said: "Father, you must be able to see" While the two were talking, Qian Xiaoxing came in from outside. As soon as he came in, he sat down and said, "I'm exhausted."  " Sima Chuchu quickly brought the tea and asked: "Brother Xing, what have you been busy with recently?  " Qian Xiaoxing drank the water and said: "To build cannons, the navy and the army need a total of three thousand cannons. The steel can't keep up. I'm mobilizing them everywhere, and now we're almost ready.  Sima Yiqing thought for a moment and asked: "Xian son-in-law, after the cannon is built, can we attack?"  "My father-in-law really wants to go to war, and so do I. It would be really cool to use this cannon to hit the enemy. The three thousand cannons will be completed in a month. By then, fifty warships can also be launched."  " Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel excited. After working hard during this period, he finally got some results. With one month to go, Sima Yiqing said excitedly: "Xian son-in-law, how many cannons will you equip the army with?  " "A thousand doors, is that enough?  "Qian Xiaoxing asked. "A thousand doors!  Sima Yiqing imagined the shocking scene of thousands of cannons firing at the same time, grabbed Qian Xiaoxing's hand and said: "Xian son-in-law, this artillery must be under my control, so that I can have a good time."  " "Haha, of course there is no problem. With my father-in-law's experience in leading troops, you are the only one to do it.  "After Qian Xiaoxing finished speaking, the three of them laughed happily.
