Chapter 142: Cause and Effect (4)
Li Chengqian said something and felt a little tired. Ning Wen said goodbye and returned to the Weapon Prison. Only then did he have some thoughts about how the Weapon Prison reconstruction was done.
As soon as I arrived at the shooting range, I heard Diao Gui cheering and ran over quickly.
"Young Master Ning, a happy event, a solid projectile, a distance of five hundred feet, five out of ten! Three hundred feet, eight out of ten, this is a happy event that will be unprecedented!"
"Oh, five hundred feet can hit five out of ten? Who is the aiming hand?"
Ning Wen was overjoyed and wanted to see who created this world record.
"Haha, it's Diao Xiang, the aimer of Class 2!"
Diao Xiang, Diao Gui's clan brother, also used this relationship to enter the weapon supervisor. Now he is a little successful. Ning Wen called Diao Xiang, and he is indeed a handsome talent. He is unique in wearing only two thin shirts in the cold weather.
"See the young supervisor!"
He made heroic moves and answered with neither humility nor arrogantness.
"Yes, I don't know how Diao Xiang aims, and I will demonstrate it once and let me see it."
Diao Xiang skillfully adjusted the artillery into place, and Diao Gui indicated a target, which also had very standardized texts.
"The target, five hundred feet of city wall, full charge, solid bullet, first round, loading!"
The commands that Ning Wen learned during military training in later generations were slightly modified to adapt to the cannons at this moment.
The second class involved in the experiment today. The weapons supervisor has carefully trained two classes. These are the backbone of the future, one passes to ten, and ten passes to hundreds. Only in this way can the artillery skills be taught as fast as possible. The gunner skillfully loads the gunpowder and the projectiles!
"Recharge is complete!"
The gunner reported loudly!
Diao Xiang carefully moved the cannon and focused on aiming at the target. Ning Wen knew that the gear gap of the cannon is still a bit large now, and the range is too long and the goalkeeper needs to adjust the experience, so you must shoot live ammunition regularly to master the trick. This is also a problem. The ammunition consumption alone will make weapons monitors unable to bear it, let alone money.
Diao Xiang finished aiming quickly. This was for Ning Wen to see, so he was very careful. The time spent twice as much as usual. Ning Wen looked at it. Diao Xiang was very smart. Not only aiming at the target, but also looking through the sight. Diao Xiang moved the aiming point slightly up by about half an inch, probably considering the recoil and parabola.
Ning Wen nodded and signaled that Diao Gui could launch.
"Get ready~~Let it go!"
Diao Gui waved the red flag in his hand, and Diao Xiang lit the lead. After about five or six seconds, the huge cannon sound shocked the scene! For a moment, the entire position was covered by smoke and dust. Ning Wen coughed a few times and quickly asked the soldiers in the target area to report!
There was still no flag words. Ning Wen had no time to plan this matter. About three minutes later, the soldiers came to report and hit the target.
Ning Wen laughed and patted Diao Xiang on the shoulder and said happily:
"Yes, Diao Xiang, go back and record the method of aiming in detail, and teach other aiming players in the future, just for justice, Diao Xiang doesn't hide his own private matters."
Ning Wen specifically reminded me that in ancient times, people generally had to keep a hand in teaching skills, because they were afraid that they would teach their disciples and starve their master to death.
"Don't worry, Xiaoguan, Diao must not hide his own private matters. Just wait for Shaoguan to give orders, Diao should teach the carefully in his heart to all colleagues."
Not only is it good for the cannon, but it also speaks one by one. I feel like I have been reading for a few years.
Diao Gui asked Diao Xiang to lead the artillery squad to practice in Haosheng, and he followed Ning Wen to the prison to watch Yi Ai and Huai Liang reply to the reconstruction work.
"There are too much money for reconstruction, and many kinds of workshops cannot be used anymore. Cheng Jiancheng's previous repairs were useless. Fang thought that they should be completely pushed to reconstruction."
The new official Yi Ai took office for three fires, and the first one was burned to the previous supervisor. Huai Liang smiled bitterly and didn't speak. He was all his brothers. As long as it was beneficial to the development of the weapon supervisor, nothing else was considered.
"I don't know what Fang Guan Zheng said, "I am a young prisoner. However, the money is limited. If you can make do, just make do with it first. I will talk about it when I have money in the future."
If you don’t know the price of rice, you don’t know how expensive it is. Not only the cost of reconstruction has made the three provinces a little dissatisfied, but the daily expenses of gunpowder have made the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue complain. Not to mention mining saltpeter and sulfur, according to Master Zhou, there is also a shortage of iron ore.
This is not possible. I am easy to find iron ore. I remember that there are several mines in later generations, so it is hard to tell the specific location. Anyway, there are a lot of people at this time, so it is free to use it. Let the Ministry of Revenue find someone to explore.
As for sulfur, it is a little troublesome. I don’t know where it is produced. I have to mobilize Li Chunfeng’s old charlatan to find a group of disciples to refine it. How to record the refining procedures to form a standard document? It is best to do saltpeter. Henan Road and Hebei Road are produced. Just send someone to dig and turn it into it. The purification work is also handed over to Li Chunfeng’s old charlatan. It is related to national security. First, give the old charlatan a patriotic education class!
"Ning Shaojian, isn't that black hole that cannot enter or exit like a Pixiu?"
