Can you live forever

Chapter 194 Ziwei shines, the Big Dipper

"Come out, bastard."

A wild smile appeared on the corner of Jiajing's mouth. He was not intimidated by the giant python, which was so tall that it circled the city and reached the sky, and was able to poke its head down. On the contrary, he was very happy.

"Guo Xun, blow it up."

Jiajing commanded very plainly, and Guo Xun immediately mobilized the army with a loud roar. He had already controlled the city wall and some commanding heights, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who had placed more than 200 red cannons in the city opened fire immediately.

Zhoushan developed the red cannon last year, and the Bingzhang Bureau was reproduced in just three months!
The Shenji Camp has changed its costume!
The new type of artillery with a range of more than ten miles let out a roar, and hundreds of shells immediately flew into the sky, and with the power of gunpowder, they went straight to the ghosts and gods!

"Roar!!!"

The giant python opened its mouth and roared, and the invisible force swayed, and the shells were detonated in mid-air, almost lighting up the sky. The rumbling explosion made the people in the city extremely panicky, and the terrifying giant python made people go crazy with panic.

Some people hid at home and shivered, while others ran desperately to the two execution grounds to seek shelter.

Although the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were terrified, they still insisted on fighting. They began to seek angles to shoot at the giant python according to the command of the commander.

Yes, ballistic shooting.

Jiajing learned about the development of firearms from Zhang Zhixiang.

There is a kind of flintlock in Zhang Zhixiang's "Illustration of Military Weapons" written by Bi Maokang, the Minister of War at the end of Zhang Zhixiang's explanation.

In fact, it existed during the Jiajing period.

Bi Maokang is not technical, his specialty is calligraphy and painting, and his job as the Minister of the Ministry of War is just to sort out materials. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry in the late Ming Dynasty have long been emptied, and the technology is not even as good as it was during the Jiajing period.

Therefore, there are actually flintlock guns.

The Chinese were the first to use flint to make fire. How could they ignore this method of lighting fire?Trigger technology was widely used in the Qin Dynasty when making crossbows.

It's just that flintlock guns are mostly used for hand guns.

The reason is very simple, the matchlock is more stable than the flint, and the people of Ming Dynasty walked outside with a fire rope instead of a flint and steel.

As long as the matchlock is ignited, it can achieve 100% firing, while the flint will have a problem every seven times on average. In view of the stability, it is very simple to choose the matchlock or the flint.

So, the flintlock is not the key, the key is... the percussion gun.

The bird gun is already a rifled musket.

In fact, the current level of iron smelting in Ming Dynasty surpassed that of Prussia at that time. Krupp’s famous steel pouring method already existed in my country in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it developed maturely in the Northern and Southern Dynasties...

Until the nineteenth century, the iron-smelting technology of the Xiluo people could not keep up with that of Ming Dynasty.

In this way, it is only one step away from the M1841, the representative work of breech-loading pistol - Thunder Mercury.

The integration of gunpowder and bullets, saving the steps of loading gunpowder, is the most critical technology to enhance the power of firearms. Zhang Zhixiang did not know the specific technology, and only provided the word thunder mercury.

But that's not the problem.

Who else knows more about metals like mercury and lead than Taoist priests?

The ancients even played with nitric acid, making leather, gunpowder, ice, and acid. China has a history of nitric acid production for thousands of years, but it is a bit ridiculous to say that there was no nitric acid in ancient times.

Because the ancients knew that nitrate is easy to volatilize, and the nitrate maker would deliberately prevent volatilization when purifying nitrate.

Using dry distillation to produce nitric acid has no technical and cognitive problems at all.

Don't ask, Arab alchemists were able to make nitric acid by dry distillation in the eighth century, but nitric acid never existed in ancient China.

You know, the ancient goldsmiths liked to wash the goldware with nitric acid to increase the luster after the beating was finished...

Mercury, nitric acid, alcohol.

Alcohol is also available, and the method of distillation already existed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, but rice wine was always preferred to white wine in ancient times. In addition to spraying flour, there are other genres in folk fire-breathing performances that spray alcohol.

Alcohol is flammable. From the point of view of the five elements, it belongs to fire. It makes no sense not to try it together when studying thunder mercury.

then.

Thunder Mercury has also been developed...

Even cotton soaked in acid to make gunpowder replaced gunpowder and became propellant.

With all the technology in place, the percussion gun was naturally produced. This is the most advanced firearm that does not exist in Zhoushan, and it belongs to the Shenjiying.

It is taken from the Taoist Big Dipper Mantra: "The Big Dipper has seven yuan, and the spirit dominates the sky. The great sage of Tiangang is majestic and mighty. Go up to the world and cut off the source of evil."

Jiajing is going to use this sharp weapon to pacify the demons in the world!

Thousands of soldiers of the Shenji Battalion held the Big Dipper and fired at the giant python. Regardless of whether they could fight or not, let's shoot. Daming has money, and wars have always been suppressed by firepower!
Ask, why didn't there be plate armor in ancient China?
Because the Xiluo people only started to make plate armor in the 56th century, so they "blow it up for me" early in the morning!

Need plate armor eggs!
Facts have proved that even if the firearms are not consecrated, even if the giant python manifested in the world is a flesh and blood body, the bullets do not have sound waves to detonate, and they can embed scales when they hit the body.

When the cannon explodes on the body, blood can also be raised!
Although there was no injury, it also felt pain and roared angrily.

Intense sound waves swept across, and countless people should have been killed or injured. When Fa Hai knocked on the Vajra Bell, a sound wave swayed away, which actually neutralized his attack.

The giant python roared at Fa Hai, but did not pester him.

Instead, he poked his head fiercely and rushed directly towards Jiajing. Tao Zhongwen was in front of Jiajing, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the eight-handed talisman sword flew towards the giant python under his imperial envoy, but it always gave people a kind of mantis like a cart. Feel.

The talisman sword was very sharp, and cut a few lines of blood on the giant python's face, but that was all.

It doesn't care at all, and the talisman sword can't penetrate into the flesh at all.

The golden vertical pupils that shone like headlights were getting closer and closer, and one could see the wildness and murderous intent in those eyes.It was getting closer and closer, but Jiajing was not afraid at all.

When the giant python was only a few feet away from Jiajing, a purple-gold halberd flew from a distance.

It hit the giant python violently, blasting its head flying, hitting the city wall, directly collapsing a gate, its huge body toppled over, and the snake's head flew hundreds of feet before it could land on the ground. After getting over it, when he stood up again, a blood hole appeared on his forehead, bleeding continuously...

The person who caused this blow was standing on the altar, holding the second "Zi Wei Mi Taboo" in his hand.

The Celestial Master Sword in the right hand is surrounded by a faint starlight...

Draw the bow, throw.

Blowing Ziwei back out again, the giant python screamed and dodged, but its body was so huge that it couldn't dodge the streamer-like talisman, so it had to block it with its body, adding a bloody hole on its body...

at this time.

Zhang Zhixiang saluted with his sword in hand: "All fellow Taoists, please chant the Big Dipper Mantra!"

The Big Dipper has seven yuan, and the spirit dominates the sky.

The great sage of Tiangang is extremely majestic.

Heaven and earth, cut off the source of evil.

Rising on the cloud, come to the front of the descending altar.

Come down with true energy, pass through the water and into the smoke.

According to the legend of the Three Realms, all demons raise their fists.

Slay the demon and destroy the trace, return to death and ascend to the immortal.

……

After the Taoist priests on the Luotian Dajiao chanted curses in unison, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion found that their firecrackers and cannons began to glow, as if the stars in the sky cast metal to emit light, and it seemed that the guns themselves were shining... …

After Jiajing heard the Big Dipper curse, he even laughed and shouted loudly: "Fire, get rid of the demon!"

"Fire! Exorcism!"

"Fire! Exorcism!"

All the soldiers felt inexplicably inspired and had a feeling of witnessing the times. They not only represented themselves, they were a kind of torrent of the times. They would definitely wipe out all the demons and ghosts, and return the common people to a bright future!
　Thank you for the 500 starting point coins reward of "Shadow = Wei" and "Laipi Bubai", and thank you for the 100 starting point coin reward of "A Cloud in the Sky".
