Chapter 1086: Test Cannon
Each raw material of Buddha jumping over the wall is high-grade ingredients, each of which has extremely high nutritional value, and the taste is also very good, the meat is fragrant and delicious, not greasy, nourishing the kidney, nourishing blood, nourishing and strengthening the body, and has a high therapeutic value.
This superb high-end dish has the ability to promote development, enhance immunity, beautify and nourish the skin, inhibit the formation of blood clots, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, reduce the three highs, and increase hematopoietic function.
It can also accelerate wound healing, anti-aging, promote growth, improve coronary heart disease, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and soften blood vessels, improve immunity, regulate menstruation and moisten the intestines, and promote growth and development.
Of course, the benefits of Buddha jumping over the wall are not only these, there are more magical effects that have not been discovered, and in later generations, Buddha jumping over the wall has become the main dish of the Chinese state banquet, when encountering foreign guests to visit, there must be this dish, even the court officials are reluctant to eat, keep these delicious foods to entertain foreign friends, let foreign friends experience the charm of the Chinese Buddha jumping over the wall, reflect the Chinese land and the friendship and sincerity of treating foreign guests, so that you can make more good friends.
Ang Lee's newly developed Buddha jumping over the wall is only in the experimental stage, he hasn't eaten enough, naturally he hasn't told anyone the secret of this dish, even the emperor in the palace can't eat such a good delicacy, Guo Ziyi is really blessed this time, he can eat such a delicious taste, in addition, Ang Lee knows that Guo Ziyi will definitely not be able to learn, so he doesn't mind letting Guo Ziyi watch himself cook, it is impossible to remember the steps of this product, and even, he can't even remember the ingredients, and such a delicious dish, any step is wrong, Or if the ingredients are wrong, the taste will be very different, and even, the length of stew time of a certain ingredient and the size of the heat are very particular, and it is impossible to make a mistake at all, as long as the difference is a millimeter, it will be wrong.
Because I have been thinking about the Buddha jumping over the wall, although the lunch was very rich, Guo Ziyi didn't eat too much, and probably ate about seventy percent full! This guy has made up his mind to eat more of the delicacy of Buddha jumping over the wall at night, and because the amount of this dish is relatively large, even if Guo Ziyi and Li An break their bellies, they will not be able to eat it all.
After lunch, Guo Ziyi asked to go to the R&D center to see, he only has the opportunity to go back to Chang'an City once a year, naturally to understand what he is interested in, he is a general, but he is very interested in the various machines made by Ang Lee, which is enough to show how interesting the machines made by Ang Lee, which makes Guo Ziyi very interested.
"What kind of machine does General Guo want to see, tell me first, and I can arrange it?"
Ang Lee asked.
Guo Ziyi thought for a moment and said: "Any kind of machine, I want to see it, by the way, is there a new weapon?" Better, more powerful. ”
Ang Lee said, "Okay! I'm fine today, so why don't I go with the general to take a look! To tell the truth, this year because I came back, the achievements of the R & D center are still very great, the improvement progress of various machines has been greatly accelerated, as for the new weapons have also made a lot of progress, at least, the new phase of the research and development of artillery, than before you are equipped with more light and durable, the range and power have been greatly improved, the accuracy has also made some progress, however, at the same time, the requirements for soldiers are also higher, without three or five months of training, soldiers are unable to master the operation technology, to give full play to the precision of the design, I'm afraid it will take two or three years of training. ”
Since ancient times, artillery has been a technical branch of the armed forces, and it is necessary to undergo rigorous and long-term training in order to master the technology proficiently and to fire the artillery more accurately; if it does not go through strict training, the artillery will not be able to accomplish the set combat mission.
The accuracy of artillery firing is definitely very related to training, and the so-called genius gunners are also trained, and how can it be possible to train gunners with accurate operation without training, this is an impossible thing, and the more advanced and complex the artillery, the higher the requirements for training, and the more difficult it is to master.
The artillery of later generations is artillery, and the ancient artillery refers to the projectile weapon such as the catapult, which can also be regarded as a kind of artillery, the technical requirements are also relatively high, if it is not trained, it is not easy to project the stone to the required position, although the accuracy is not satisfactory, but it is also a very powerful weapon for attacking and defending the city, if there is no such weapon, the price to be paid by the besieging party is too high.
"Haha! There's better artillery again! This is really good, when will we be assigned to the Shuofang army! ”
Guo Ziyi became excited when she heard it, and said happily.
Li An said with a smile: "What is General Guo anxious about, this has just been developed, and the imperial court has not yet said that it will be mass-produced?" Not to mention letting you Shuo Fangjun equip it. ”
"If a better weapon has been developed, why not produce it, what are you waiting for?"
Guo Ziyi asked eagerly.
Li An opened his mouth to explain: "Lao Guo! The imperial court now has to spend money everywhere, engage in construction, research and development of new machines, and this 10,000-mile transmission plan, which does not cost a lot of money, although the imperial court has a lot of income, but it is also numerous, and the resources are also limited, there must always be a priority! Your Majesty is now desperate to go further in the Wanli Transsonic Plan, and resources are tilted towards this plan, where will there be more funds to build weapons on a large scale, besides, weapons are not something that my Datang urgently needs, and the Datang Lions in all directions are enough to deal with the situation, isn't it? ”
This is not nonsense, the imperial court does need to spend money everywhere, even if there is more money, it is not enough investment, so it can only be a trade-off, and spend every penny on the blade, such as the Wanli Transsonic plan, and although the artillery is very powerful, but the Tang Dynasty has not fallen into a bitter battle with any enemy, and the demand for weapons is not urgent, which is also the main willingness of new weapons to gradually become difficult to obtain the approval of the imperial court, but for the research and development of weapons, the imperial court can generally pass, first develop it and put it away, when needed, Mass production is always available, which is the best and most convenient way.
"You're right, but you have to make less! At least let our soldiers get acquainted with it first, and let the soldiers have a good time. ”
Guo Ziyi said.
Although Lao Guo also knows that weapons are not the most urgent thing in Datang, he is a general, and he always hopes that the troops under his command can have more powerful combat effectiveness and can defeat the enemy more easily, this is the common dream of all generals, and Guo Ziyi is not the only one, there is no problem.
In addition, every military town is equipped with breech guns in the early days, which is very troublesome when used, and the frequency of attacks is also very low, and after the breech guns are replaced in the later stage, the combat efficiency is greatly improved, which makes the generals very excited, and the breech guns are used to train recruits, and they are not eliminated, unless they have been broken, they will be transported to the frequent, recast, and use these materials to cast more advanced artillery.
"Lao Guo! I'll make you happy, the new artillery is very light, almost no mules and horses are used, and it can be disassembled, even if it encounters a big mountain, it can be climbed, however, more soldiers are needed, two soldiers are needed for two wheels, two soldiers are needed for the barrel and gun carriage, and some ammunition is also needed, it is estimated that it will take ten people, which is twice as large as the establishment of mules and horses! You'll be able to see it later, no hurry. ”
Li An opened his mouth and said that this artillery was just completed last month, and it was built by Li Ang according to the idea of modularity, using the latest high-strength and high-toughness steel material, which can achieve a thinner barrel to fire more powerful shells, which makes Li An quite satisfied.
And since the research and development, Ang Lee just went to the test site to see a test shot, this time I took Guo Ziyi to see, just to get a better familiarity with it, to see how to improve in the next step, after all, science is endless, research and development will never stop, there is no best, only better.
The R&D center is not very far from Ang Lee's residence, but the area of the R&D center is much larger than Ang Lee's mansion, and there is a need to continue to expand, and there are even branches, and even R&D centers will be built in other cities in the future, after all, you can't put anything in the capital, so the pressure is too great, Luoyang City now has a R&D branch, which is mainly responsible for the research of ships, and the samples manufactured can also smoothly enter the main rivers in the lobby through the Grand Canal, and further away from the sea, There is also a R&D unit, which is responsible for the construction and R&D of sea vessels, but most of the R&D projects and units are in Chang'an City, so that once there is any problem, Li An is easy to solve in time, and the problem in the distance is relatively troublesome to deal with.
"General Guo, we have arrived, the front is the test firing range of artillery, all the newly developed artillery, test firing here, there is no man's land near here, don't worry about artillery hurting people."
Li An said that he got out of the car, and immediately waved his hand, asking the relevant personnel who were still on duty to immediately prepare and pull the artillery to the test site for test firing.
When the artillery was pushed out, Guo Ziyi looked at this artillery in amazement, and was quite excited, this artillery was much more advanced than the one used by their Shuofang army, and it was obvious from the appearance.
"This barrel is so thin, is it really not going to break?"
Guo Ziyi looked at the new artillery in front of him in amazement and said excitedly.
"Of course not, this steel is much stronger than the previous steel, and it will never be broken, you can rest assured that this is good, although it is slim, but when the shelling, the gun carriage will not run around, and the accuracy of shooting is very guaranteed."
Li An opened his mouth and asked the remaining personnel in charge of the experiment to start preparing immediately.
The experimenters immediately put the targets of the straw man and the grass horse into the target area quickly, so that the accuracy and power of the new artillery can be truly tested.
In just a moment's time, the experimenters had everything ready and waited for the experiment to take place immediately.
"Li Shilang, everything is ready, ready to conduct experiments, please Li Shilang retreat into a safe area."
The person in charge reported.
Li An nodded with satisfaction, and walked to the back of the sandbag with Old Man Guo, it is absolutely safe in this place, even if the artillery is blown up, it will definitely not hurt Li An and them, and this distance is relatively far, and it is actually fine without sandbags.
Guo Ziyi sighed and waited nervously for the shelling, while the experimenters were carefully debugging the professional optical instruments, preparing to make a good score to meet the inspection of Li An and Guo Ziyi.
After all the parameters were adjusted, the first shot was fired, the cannon roared to the target, exploded in the target cluster, and then the second shot exploded in the cluster target, the third, fourth, and fifth shots followed, and the speed of the cannon was very fast, much faster than the breech gun of the Shuofang army, and the accuracy of the design was better, and the power of the shell seemed to be greater.
"Back to Li Shilang, the five rapid shots have been completed, please Li Shilang check the results."
The experimenter spoke.
Li An and Guo Ziyi glanced at each other, and immediately took the car to the shooting range where the shells landed, after all, there is a long distance from the position where the artillery was fired to the place where the shells landed, about several miles, if it is on foot, it is estimated that it will take half an hour, not an exaggeration, it does take so much time.
The area of the shooting range is relatively large, but the number of targets is not much, there are a total of 25 targets, which are placed in horizontal and vertical rows, and the interval between the two straw men is about five or six steps, and a small part of them are in the form of straw men riding horses, in order to test the difference between the lethality of artillery to infantry and cavalry, and even, some straw men are lying on the ground, so that the lethality of artillery to people lying on the ground can be tested.
Firing shells at such a long distance, and the target area is so small, can still hit the target smoothly, which has to make Guo Ziyi admire, not only admire the high accuracy of the artillery, but also admire the gunner who operates the artillery, both of which are indispensable.
"Lao Guo! See how this cannon goes? ”
Li An pointed to the crater on the ground, as well as the damaged straw man and grass horse who fell to the ground due to the shock wave of the shelling, and asked very proudly.
Guo Ziyi said with great satisfaction: "Okay, this cannon is good!" It's much better than the cannon that our Shuofang army uses now, by the way, when I saw them operating just now, there was a glass mirror, and that was the telescope! ”
"Lao Guo, that is called a scope, which is equipped on the artillery to increase accuracy, just now they were able to hit the cannon so accurately, because of that sight, if there was no sight, the artillery would not be so accurate."
Ang Lee opened his mouth to introduce.
"Okay, good cannon, my old Guo must take a few more looks, let's go, let's go see the cannon again."
Guo Ziyi said eagerly.
