Chapter 434 Chapter 445: Building Artillery
The gun body has been manufactured, and the next step is to manufacture the shells. In order to ensure safe production, Li Hao has formulated a set of the most feasible and safe shell production process, which is to first manufacture the shells, insert the primer, and then fill the empty The warhead is knocked into the shell to ensure its tightness, and then the gunpowder powder is filled into the warhead with a thin funnel, solidified with a blunt wooden pestle, and finally the warhead is installed.

It is precisely for the sake of safe production that Li Hao uses this kind of non-waterproof warhead, otherwise he can completely apply the principle of the fire cup to the warhead, so that it can be waterproof, but in this way, the difficulty of production will increase and the danger will increase. It will also increase, and the gain outweighs the loss.

After the cannon and shells were built, Li Hao was so excited that he ordered the cannon and shells to be transported to a remote mountain, and sent people to thoroughly check the area within a ten-mile radius. After making sure that there was no one around, he ordered the cannon test.

Finally, the exciting moment came. The cannon was set up there, and its direction had been adjusted. It aimed at a small hill eight miles away, and the target was the big poplar tree on the hill.

When setting such a long test distance, Li Hao was also a little nervous. He didn't know if the artillery could hit such a distance, and it was fired from the bottom up. He was very worried.

No matter what mood he is in at the moment, he can only know the power of the cannon after testing the cannon. As for whether the cannon is successful and whether it will explode, he is very confident. It is absolutely impossible to explode a cannon once, so when testing the cannon, he and a group of people stood three feet behind the cannon, which was still within the dangerous range.

All the people present advised him to stand back and stand far away. After all, he is an honorable person and should not take risks lightly. Li Hao resolutely waved his hands and refused, and ordered them not to persuade them any more. Although everyone felt helpless, they were also very moved. , especially those craftsmen, Li Hao's behavior is also a kind of trust in their craftsmanship, some people even secretly wiped their tears with excitement.

This cannon is a simplified cannon, and the ignition method is still hammering. I saw a craftsman wield a hammer weighing seven or eight catties, and suddenly hit it on a small cylinder protruding from the buttocks of the cannon, "booming" There was a loud noise, and a turbulent air flow radiated out, shaking the hammer-wielding craftsman back several steps, and the people around ten feet away were also blown up by the air flow. Although they covered their ears, But the loud noise still startled them.

Li Hao kept staring at the cannonball. His eyesight was extraordinary, and he saw the cannonball draw an arc quickly, and flew over the mountain in a short while, but...over the mountain...

A second or two later, the ground trembled slightly, and a few seconds later, the sound of an explosion came, and the ground trembled from such a distance, which showed that the power of this cannon was really amazing.

"Go! Go and have a look!" Li Hao gave an order, leaving some people here to protect the cannon, while Li Hao led the others towards the explosion site.

When we arrived at the explosion site, we saw a huge pit on the ground. The soil in the pit was still steaming, and there was a pungent smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.

Looking at this big pit, the guards were beyond shocked. What kind of power is this Nima? It is like a god, and it has already surpassed their cognition. On the contrary, the group of craftsmen are relatively calm, because they have tried small explosives to explode, and they have experience. The power of dynamite has been exceeded, but this is the first time they have seen such a large explosion result.

Looking at such a big hole, Li Hao was very excited, he succeeded, and the power was very powerful, because he specially lengthened the cannonball to increase the power, and the range of this cannonball seems to be quite far, definitely more than ten miles, surpassing his It is expected, but now there is another problem, that is, the recoil force is high. These guns are used on the ship. He doesn’t want the airflow in the gun fire compartment to tremble every time he fires a gun, and he doesn’t want the gun fire compartment to be destroyed because of the huge recoil force. After all, there are [-] or [-] cannons in the fire compartment. If so many cannons are fired at the same time, such a strong recoil will definitely disperse the fire compartment. These problems need to be solved.

The most direct way to reduce the recoil is to reduce the primer cup, which will lose some range, but as long as the explosive power of the cannon is not sacrificed, the ideal range in Li Hao's heart is ten miles.In addition, it is necessary to increase the tightness of the back cover of the cannon. This problem is left to Lu Zhi and his nephew. This time, in order to manufacture the cannon, Li Hao specially asked Lu Zhi to come to Qiongnan. He also believed in the integrity of their uncle and nephew. ability.

Li Hao told Lu Zhi about the problem, and Lu Zhi immediately patted his chest and promised that within ten days, the improvement would be completed.

Ten days was not a long time, Li Hao could afford to wait. After returning, Lu Zhi immediately called all the craftsmen to discuss the improvement plan of the artillery.

Ten days passed quietly. When Li Hao saw the cannon again, he was shocked. It reminded him of the cannon in the anti-Japanese drama, the kind of one shot, the barrel retracted, in the anti-Japanese drama It often happens, yes, Lu Zhi actually modified the barrel of the cannon, adding four huge springs to reduce the recoil of the cannon. The springs were taught to him by Li Hao. He never expected that he could innovate independently and liven up the cannon. Even Li Hao himself didn't think of learning to use this point.

Lu Zhi really gave him a big surprise. According to Lu Zhi's report, the tightness of the back cover has reached a perfect level, the recoil problem has also been solved, and the primer cup has not been changed, that is to say, the range has not been reduced.

Li Hao immediately ordered to test the cannon again, which was the same location as last time, but this time, it was fired on flat ground. He wanted to see how far his cannon could hit.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the shell flew out, the barrel suddenly retracted for a while, and then bounced back by the force of the spring, the recoil force was completely offset, the back cover was tight, and there was no more airflow from the shock, perfect.

The ground trembled slightly, and the shell exploded on the ground. Within a few seconds, the sound of the explosion was heard. Li Hao led people excitedly to check again, carefully measuring the distance along the way, and finally found that the longest range of the cannon was 13.5 miles.

Li Hao was excited for a long time, called Lu Zhi's uncle and nephew over, and said: "Lu Zhi, make another hundred shells, and after they are finished, bring someone to fire them a hundred times in a row to test the toughness of the shell. Pass, come to report to this king, and this king will order you to mass produce."

"Yes!" Lu Zhi is very confident in the toughness of the gun body. After all, he personally supervised the manufacture of the artillery, and he knows it best. But since Li Hao wants to test, this step cannot be skipped, after all, safety comes first.

Li Hao waited patiently for another ten days. Lu Zhi came to Qiongnan Palace and met Li Hao in the study. Lu Zhi reported that the [-]-shot test had been completed, and there was no abnormality in the cannon body, and there was no danger of explosion.

"Great!" Li Hao was so excited that he slapped the table and stood up. After this test, the cannon was truly perfect. Li Hao immediately ordered, "You will take your craftsmen back to Liuzhou tomorrow, and copy the Bring back all the blueprints, start building cannons with the same specifications, first build a hundred, pay attention, you must pay attention to safety, cannons are not shipbuilding, once it explodes, it will have devastating consequences."

Lu Zhi saluted solemnly: "Yes, my lord, please remember, safety first."

"Well, I am very relieved that you are doing business." Li Hao patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "The metallurgical plant over there in Liuqiu, the blast furnace is too small, you build a big one, this time you design the blueprint yourself , From now on, Liuqiu's industry will be taken care of by you, and you will be the head of Liuqiu industry I appointed."

Lu Zhi trembled with excitement when he heard the words. The industrial manager of the entire Liuqiu has great power, and he also bears the heavy responsibility of the rise and fall of the entire Liuqiu development. He never thought of such an opportunity in his life, tears welled up in his eyes, and said : "Thank you, my lord, my villain... I am willing to do my best for my lord!"

"Okay, just keep these words in your stomach, I know you are loyal." Li Hao said with a smile, "Yes, I heard that you married a daughter-in-law in Liuqiu and gave birth to two sons. , I don’t know if I will say this, it’s too unkind.”

Lu Zhi hurriedly said: "My lord takes care of everything every day, how can I bother my lord with such a trivial matter."

"If you say this, you will be offended." Li Hao said, "I don't care, if you have time, you can take another side room, and then you must have a banquet, and treat me once."

Lu Zhi was stupefied when he heard the words, this request really... sounds a bit silly, but he liked it, and immediately nodded in agreement.

After sending Lu Zhi away, Li Hao paced around the study slowly. After coming to Qiongnan, things became smoother and smoother. Why, because no one opposed him, unlike when he was in Chang'an, someone always gave him Add blockage.

Li Hao can imagine that when he owns a hundred cannons, who else in the world is his opponent? Even if he wants to rebel, Li Shimin can do nothing to him. Of course, he is not that kind of person, he has never The idea of ​​being an emperor, what's so good about being an emperor, working hard all day long, if you want to be a good emperor, you have to live 20 years less, if you want to be a foolish emperor, just wait to be scolded by others, and you will be scolded by future generations after you die .

Li Hao doesn't want any ultimate power in the world, he just wants to be free and happy. Of course, in this troubled world, it's best to have your own power to protect yourself, so that you can truly be free.

In the following days, Li Hao opened a school in Qiongnan. He usually taught students, taught science, practiced martial arts in his free time, or teased his children. Little Li Tu was already four years old. It’s time for fun. If it’s not for fun, it’s meaningless to have a baby. Sometimes, the way Li Hao amuses his son is really unacceptable to Turandot. She has never seen a child’s father bring Watching the children jump up and down in the pond on the road, making their bodies covered in sewage.

Although Li Hao loves to tease Li Tu, but when it is time to be strict, he is still very strict. Educating children should not be sloppy. Playing is a child's nature, but it cannot cultivate his spoiled temperament. He was playing, but he was also most afraid of Li Hao, as long as Li Hao turned his face coldly at him, he would be obedient and obedient immediately. This ability to act according to sex was very similar to Li Hao.
