Surprise, indeed surprise!

Wang Kang looked at Tian Hong in amazement, and all such things were created.

He really didn't expect it.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Shenji Camp also pulled the oil cloth apart, and the things under it were exposed.

It was a two-wheeled car that looked like a flat plate, but the wheel spacing was very small and had a groove to form a shelf. From the bottom to the top, there was a cylindrical iron cylinder more than one meter long. It looked like an enlarged version of a musket!

And it also has a new name, artillery!

Tian Hong explained: "This kind of artillery is based on the drawings you left when you left before. It weighs 256 kilograms and is about three feet and six inches long. It is measured with a Kang ruler and is 115 cm, and is installed on a matching artillery cart."

"Because I don't have a lot of self-weight, I'm very suitable for field combat!"

At this time, these cannon cars were pushed over, arranged neatly, with a total of ten gates.

Wang Kang walked over and took a closer look.

This type of cannon, actually also known as the General cannon, appeared in the Ming Dynasty and was widely used. The entire type has three specifications.

Difference in diameter and weight.

And the smallest specification in front of me is precisely because of this, it is not too bulky, easy to carry, strong handling, and is mostly used in field combat!

When Wang Kang was building Xinfeng City, he presided over the creation of the musket and the Shenji Camp, but when he left, he left a large number of drawings for the craftsmen to study and build.

It seems that there have been results.

In China's history, firearms were used very early.

During the Song Dynasty, it appeared in the army. After the Yuan Dynasty, it developed to its peak during the Ming Dynasty. Firearms began to be used on a large scale on the battlefield.

There are many types of firearms.

With complete drawings, it is not difficult to create...

"Give it a try."

Wang Kang gave the order.

"yes!"

Under Wang Chen's command, the soldiers of Shenji Camp began to operate.

The shells used for this type of artillery are a large lead shell weighing four or five kilograms and hundreds of small lead shells weighing four or five kilograms. All the shells are more than seven kilograms in total.

It can be seen that the soldiers are very skilled in operating, loading ammunition and adjusting angles very quickly.

Everything is ready.

"ignition!"

Wang Chen gave an order!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Sudden roars sounded, and the shells were fired under the thrust of gunpowder.

"Look."

Wang Chen handed Wang Kang a cylindrical object, a monocular telescope that was made by Wang Kang a long time ago and is now assembled in the army.

Through the telescope, you can clearly see that the large cannon shells fly out for hundreds of meters, while the small cannon shells fly scattered, which can cause large-scale damage!

The scene was quite shocking!

"The most powerful weapon in field combat!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Kang couldn't help but sigh that this was not his evaluation, but that in the Ming Dynasty, artillery of this specification was described in this way.

And for now, this is a product that transcends the times!

Wang Kang asked: "How many such artillery were made?"

“There are only these ten gates.”

Tian Hong explained: "This was done after repeated experiments and even many times!"

"The main reason is that there is a lack of mature craftsmen. In the construction process, there are very high requirements for precision, and there are many steps, so the scale is still too small!"

"Hey, Uncle Tian, ​​do you know a lot?"

Wang Kang smiled and joked, this is a good phenomenon. For people of this era, firearms are a brand new thing.

If you want to know him, you must know him.

"As I see you for a long time, I will be influenced by it."

Tian Hong said, "But the power of this kind of firearm is indeed very great. If it is applied to the battlefield on a large scale, the era of cold weapons can end here."

“It’s not that simple.”

Wang Kang said: "The power of a firearm is not small, but there is another key point in how to use it."

During the Ming Dynasty, firearms had developed to their peak, but they had not reached the level of equipment in the entire army, and they had not completely broken out of the era of cold weapons. Moreover, the application of firearms still had some flaws...

Low production capacity and underdeveloped technological level, there is still a big problem, tactical thinking.

The serious rigidity of the military's tactical thinking hinders the development of the military.

Different from cold weapons combat, in combat using firearms, it is necessary to effectively organize and apply it. This is a new thing after all.

It will take some time to fight on a large scale.

However, the current top priority is to expand the production scale...

In terms of personnel, it is just to train itself.

While inspecting, Wang Kang was also thinking about countermeasures.

But he still gave him some surprises.

In addition to the successful creation of cannons, the muskets have also been renewed. Compared with the simplicity of the first generation, a single-armed gunpowder weapon such as three-eyed guns and four-eyed guns have been newly created.

It can be released continuously to form dense firepower.

There are also Lianzi Guns, which are of course manufactured in a limited number and have not yet reached a scale...

During the inspection, Wang Kang also learned that there is currently a special firearm manufacturing workshop here, and the main personnel are the first group of old people and the apprentices they trained.

The big reason for the current manufacturing results is the repeated experiments.

This is really a complete money-burning behavior, but Wang Kang can also accept it. Only with investment can there be output, let alone a completely emerging thing...

In the next few days, Wang Kang simply did not go back and stayed here. With him in mind, he participated, and improved the process of creation and made a system...

Without mechanized production, everything depends on manpower, so we can only adopt the most primitive casting method!

Simply put, it is to make molds and complete the production through molds.

However, one advantage is that Wang Kang already has mature forged steel.

Made of steel, of course, it is much better than pig iron and bronze, with weight reduction and mass increase...

Under his guidance, the construction steps have been much streamlined, and efficiency and fault tolerance have been increased. At the same time, Wang Kang also took the time to train tactical professors in the Shenji Camp and compiled textbooks!

At the same time, he also decided to invest more manpower, material resources and financial resources to establish an arsenal and expand production scale. In addition, the Shenji Camp will continue to expand, and Wang Chen will conduct selection and training...

He believed that with such investment, it would take not long for the Shenji Camp to truly step into the battlefield, shine, and shock the world!

For several days, Wang Kang was arranging to manage these things and built an arsenal dedicated to the production of firearms as soon as possible.

At the same time, the Shenji Camp has officially expanded to 2,000 people and has started training...

In this busy life, Li Ping, who had previously conquered him on the grassland, came back and brought back a large amount of sheepskin. In this way, he had another idea that could achieve...
