Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 219 217 Gunpowder Developed Successfully
The city wall of Zhili City was completely built, and the speed was extremely fast.

The tall and solid walls are thick and majestic, and there are towers every 50 meters. There are crenels on the towers to prevent enemies from climbing the city, and the defense is quite strict.

One hundred granaries were also built. The design of the dome is cleaner because of the use of cement and bamboo chips, and a thick layer of cement on the ground.

Song Yuanxuan stood on the side of Zhili City, looking at the scene in front of him, a large group of people were building houses, and he couldn't help feeling satisfied.

These houses are small two-story buildings, built only with bricks and cement, with bamboo slices added in the middle, which are beautiful and strong, very different from the buildings of this era.

Nan Feng walked to his side and said softly: "Young Master, Bo Qiu has heard back, he will come and take a look in three days."

Song Yuanxuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It will take two days to get here from Wenning County, so I'll send someone to Mr. Dichi to show our sincerity."

Originally, he wanted Xue Xia to take care of Zhili City, as the deputy city lord. If Wen Boqiu was willing to come, it would be great. In this case, even if Xue Xia came, it would be easier.

Nanfeng saluted him and said, "Master, I want to go to Wenning County in person, talk to him about these things in person, and pick him up by the way."

"Okay! After Mr. comes back, I believe Mr. Dichi's residence will be completed."

Song Yuanxuan stretched out his hand and pointed to one side. A house by a small lake was almost built, and it was extremely unique. This was his idea, and it was implemented by Li Li.

Nan Feng saluted again: "Young master, then I'll go now, during the time I'm not here, I hope you will take care of yourself!"

Song Yuanxuan responded, watching Nanfeng leave, he let out a long breath.

Next, he wanted to go to Taiming Mountain to take a look. The shape of this mountain was similar to the mountain in the wordless stele, so he wondered if there was that blue boulder at the top?

Turning around and entering the house, Feng Yungu had just brought the food to the table, among which were seven or eight buns made by Zheng Donger.

"Yun Gu, I want to go to the mountains tomorrow to have a look. Wang Dong is going to deliver a letter. He should be back today, so let him go with me." Song Yuanxuan said softly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud noise from one side, and he couldn't help but startled, then thought of something, jumped up, and ran out.

Feng Yun was stunned, then shook his head slightly, and murmured: "He still looks like a child, but this is also his charm. He is as pure as a child and focuses on a certain thing."

Song Yuanxuan ran all the way into the house where the members of the Ministry of Fire lived, and saw a big pit formed in the yard, several meters deep and about two meters wide, he was overjoyed.

"What's the situation?" Song Yuanxuan asked, raising his eyebrows.

Tengchong hurriedly said: "Master, we have finally developed the gunpowder formula that the young master mentioned. This power is really powerful! Later we will improve the musket.

In addition to being strong and not easy to explode, muskets have to shoot far. Ordinary bows and arrows can shoot eighty feet away, but muskets can only shoot twenty to thirty feet away, which is too close.

So our goal is to develop a musket that shoots to [-] to [-] feet, or even [-] feet, but gunpowder can now be used to mine rocks. With such gunpowder, it is more convenient. "

Song Yuanxuan did the math, eighty feet is 200 meters, ordinary bows and arrows can indeed shoot this far, muskets are five to 60 meters, and after improvement, they can shoot 150 meters away.

In this case, the power is amazing, because the destructive power of muskets is far higher than that of bows and arrows, and the shooting accuracy will be much larger, which is far more deterrent than bows and arrows.

"Okay! In a while, send someone to find Lu Fang and go to mine rocks together. It's a good time to try out these gunpowder." Song Yuanxuan said softly, with an excited expression on his face.

Tengchong responded, "Master, then I will make arrangements. I estimate that the modification of the musket will be successful within a month, and it will be easier to defend the city by then."

Song Yuanxuan nodded and said: "If your improvement is successful, I will reward you with 1 taels of silver!"

A group of people were startled, then overjoyed, Teng Chong grinned and said: "Master, I promise to complete the task!"

Only then did Song Yuanxuan turn around and leave, this time he took the initiative to find Lu Fang.

There are now a total of 6000 people in Zhili City. Many people have come here in the past few days, so it is much more lively than before.

Lu Fang was carrying sand on the construction site. The sand was dug out from the big river. It was thin and white, so it was very suitable for building a house.

"Master, why are you here?" Lu Fang put down two bags of sand and said happily.

Song Yuanxuan nodded and said, "I'll have people from the fire department come to you in a while, and you take them to mine rocks, which are essential raw materials for cement production.

Also, you pick 1000 people to form a team of archers and train for an hour every day. I will reuse them in the future, so these people must be deterred.

The cavalry is also to be formed, about 600 to [-] people are enough, I believe that these houses will be built very quickly, so you have to do what I just said at the same time. "

"Young master, don't worry! I'll select people in a while. We have quite a few people now, and we can build a strong army." Lu Fang responded, reaching out to pat the dust on his body.

Song Yuanxuan smiled and said, "That's hard work for you, but why are you carrying the sack here?"

"Master, the soldiers are building houses, if I don't participate, I will always feel ungrounded, and I also have a lot of strength, so these words are very light.

This is the city that belongs to the young master, and it is also the place where we live and live. Our foundation lies. I also hope that it can be built as soon as possible. "

Lu Fang said seriously, with a bit of hope in his eyes, which is his confidence in the future.

Song Yuanxuan stretched out his hand and patted his arm and said, "Then do it well. I hope that Zhili City will become a real place of sanctuary in the future, protecting all of us."

Lu Fang gritted his teeth and said, "I hope so too! The young master brought us all this, so we cherish this hard-won opportunity very much."

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly, looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, and said softly: "You won't regret it!"

Lu Fang was startled, thought for a while and said, "Indeed, being able to follow the young master is my greatest achievement."

Song Yuanxuan smiled slightly, knowing what he meant in his heart, then he turned around and left, but his heart gradually relaxed. The successful development of gunpowder was the greatest help for him.

With gunpowder, guns can be continuously supplied from the source. In this case, Zhili City can truly protect itself.

All the way back to the house, Song Yuanxuan sat down, Fengyun Gu handed over a steamed stuffed bun, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Is there any happy event?"

"Gunpowder has been successfully developed!" Song Yuanxuan replied.

Feng Yun was taken aback, frowned and said, "Gunpowder is not as powerful as a bow and arrow. Even if it is successfully developed, what is there to be happy about?"

"The gunpowder is different this time. It is far more powerful than the bow and arrow, and the shooting speed is faster. If you want to avoid it, you can't dodge it. If you get shot, you will be injured."

Song Yuanxuan raised his eyebrows with pride.

This is a real hot weapon. 1000 people can fight against 10 people. If 1000 people are equipped with muskets, even if there are [-] people attacking the city, there is only one way to destroy it.

Feng Yungu looked at Song Yuanxuan seriously, and then whispered: "You are really a genius!"

Song Yuanxuan responded: "Our child will definitely follow me, he is a genius."

Feng Yun burst into a smile, his smiling face was like a flower, Song Yuanxuan couldn't help being stunned.
