Nima! Liu Hong almost scolded his mother when he heard this, didn't this drop the chain at a critical moment?

Zhu Cihong also had a questioning face, he hadn't figured out what a stink bomb was.

"What is the current rate of dumb fire?" Liu Hong asked with a frown.

"Back to ...... Back to the prince, forty to fifty percent ......" Zhang Feng said embarrassedly.

"That's fifty percent?" Liu Hong gradually glanced at the artillery ballistic on the ground.

With a 50% dumb fire rate, isn't this special damn a conscienceless cannon two hundred years ago! The former is all about luck, and the latter is about whether it explodes or not, and it all depends on the face.

Not to mention that the hit rate of artillery shells in naval warfare was already pitiful, if we add a 50 percent dumb fire rate to the only 5 percent hit rate.

Can this battle still be fought?

"At present, Song Stalltou is making every effort to solve this problem, and there has been progress, I believe that it will not take long for the mute rate to be improved." Zhang Feng explained.

In fact, it is not surprising that the people of the Ordnance Institute do not work hard, the update and iteration of firearms requires great resources, and the Ordnance Institute did not notify the imperial court that the new artillery was successfully developed.

People are also trying to solve the problem of dumb fire, this is not an overnight problem, people are also out of the attitude of the person in charge, before solving the problem of dumb fire, people did not rashly ask for credit.

"Oh yes, Your Majesty, when the artillery workshop was developing the bottom artillery shell, it accidentally created an interesting gadget, take you to see it."

Zhang Feng saw that Liu Hongji's face was not very friendly, and knew that the current work progress did not satisfy Liu Hongji, but he was very sensible, and when he spoke, he said directly to Zhu Cihong, in fact, it was for Liu Hongjian to listen.

Liu Hongjian temporarily put down the new artillery, and followed Zhang Feng to another test area.

In the open space of this test area, there are three steel pipes similar to those used to erect tripods in later generations, about three feet long and have a base at the bottom.

Liu Hong gradually looked at this thing a little familiar, he waved his hand and didn't let Zhang Feng talk, and took a closer look.

"I'm obedient, isn't this a little steel cannon of a little Japanese?" Liu Hong gradually lost his big teeth.

He has also watched the anti-Japanese drama in later generations, the Japanese devil with the butt curtain helmet put a small steel cannon on the ground, and the other devil held a small cannonball in both hands and stuffed it in front of the barrel.

I only heard a slamming shell into the barrel of the gun, and then exploded in the open space not far away, and a puff of smoke and dust was swayed, although it could not kill the Balu army, but the appearance was definitely there.

Isn't this object in front of you a replica, it seems that human beings are not divided into regions and races at all in science and technology, as long as the technical conditions are met, some inventions will be amazingly similar.

"Little steel cannon? Is this the name you gave to this new firearm? That's good! Zhang Feng saw that Liu Hong was so happy, and agreed.

"Liu Qing, is this thing so small and powerful?" Zhu Cihong didn't know why, all the previous artillery of the Ming Dynasty was developed to be bigger and heavier, as if the artillery would only be more powerful if it was bigger and heavier.

Seeing such a small thing on the ground, Zhu Cihong muttered a little in his heart.

"Back to the emperor, this small steel cannon is naturally not as powerful as a ship-borne heavy gun, but fortunately, it is light, and we all call him a new type of conscienceless cannon." Zhang Feng explained.

The small steel cannon is actually a kind of mortar, its barrel has a large angle to the ground, relying on the gravity of the shell falling vertically into the bottom of the barrel to stimulate the gunpowder, thereby shooting and injuring the enemy.

But after all, the small steel cannon is a grass creation, no more than the ship-based artillery and the city artillery has a special crosshair, to put it bluntly, the shell is shot towards the enemy, but no one knows where it falls, referred to as no conscience cannon, and because this cannon is more light than the early Ming Dynasty no conscience cannon, the material is also more sophisticated, so it is called a new type of no conscience cannon.

"Bullshit has no conscience, this thing has a big conscience, go back and quickly find someone to go to the College of Engineering to ask Zhang Jiaoyu, and let him study a set of calibration methods for mortars!" Liu Honggradually criticized.

He remembered it clearly, and the two small steel cannons in the pillar of the bright sword blew up the devil's headquarters into the sky.

Artillery in the traditional sense can be divided into cannons, howitzers and mortars according to the angle of fire.

Although cannons and howitzers have a relatively long range, very fast muzzle velocity, and great power, because their trajectory is relatively low and flat, it is difficult to kill and injure the enemy hiding in the anticline.

Although the range of the mortar is very close, it can use the ultra-high trajectory to cross the mountain and kill the enemy on the antislope, which will soon become apparent in future wars.

To put it bluntly, this thing is an enhanced version of the grenade.

"Yes, yes, I will ask for advice after I am humble." Zhang Feng didn't say anything when he heard this.

The shells of the small steel cannon are naturally also flowering shells, but due to the different firing methods, the dud fire rate of the small steel cannon is much lower than that of the rear-loading heavy artillery.

"Come on, adjust it as soon as possible, time is running out, when the army goes out next month, we must reduce the mute rate to less than two percent.

Also, this small steel cannon will start mass production immediately, and this king will be of great use. Liu Hong gradually explained two sentences and planned to leave the test field.

"Oh yes, who is the developer of the little steel cannon? Reward 2,000 taels of silver, Your Majesty, should this silver be paid by the household? Liu Hong gradually finished speaking and looked at Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"What Liu Qing said is that I will distribute it to the household department when I go back."

The two left the firearms test ground at the foot of the mountain in harmony with each other, leaving only Zhang Feng with a sluggish face.

I have long heard that the king of Anguo County is very trusted by the emperor, but now it seems that what he said is not rigorous at all, and the king of Anguo County dares to blackmail in front of the emperor.

……

"Are you going back to the palace tonight?" In the carriage, Liu Hong gradually glanced at Zhu Cihong and said.

"Can you not go back?" Zhu Cihong replied with a wry smile.

His words are a pun, on the one hand, he is forced by the pressure of the courtiers and the Empress Dowager Zhou, which means that it can be done if he can't go back? to be revived.

On the other hand, he seems to be asking Liu Hongjian again, if you don't go back, can you help me get rid of my mother and those hundred officials who like to scold people?

"Out of breath! The court is gone, and you can still play around. Liu Hong gradually said subconsciously.

Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, every day, this is the work of people, that is, Zhu Cihong is easy to bully, otherwise if he came to do it, he would have been picked out a long time ago.

"I mean, it doesn't matter if you take a day or two off once in a while." Liu Hong gradually realized that what he said just now was a bit excessive, although he was just joking, but if this word reached the ears of people with a heart, it would be a major event that could exterminate the clan.

"Alas Liu Qing, do you think I don't want to? But you don't know how many sparse notes I have to deal with every day, it's so thick, it's still the cabinet that picks the important ones for me to deal with. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't care at all, but compared his daily workload in the carriage.

"That's not good, I think it's better to set a rule, such as taking three days off every month, and giving chickens a holiday!" Liu Hong smiled wickedly.

Unlike other officials, the ministers of the cabinet did not want the Son of Heaven to work hard for twelve hours a day, and they thought that was the right thing to do.

But they don't want to think about it themselves, do you still know that when you go home from work, go home with your wife and children, go to the restaurant, go to the restaurant to have fun, and play dice, do the emperors deserve to work for twelve hours?

Over the years, Liu Hong has been acting recklessly, and he has also imperceptibly influenced Zhu Cihong, and in the past two years, he has made some achievements, at least Zhu Cihong has not become a nerd in the eyes of Confucianism.

"Then I won't go back today, it's just that Liu Qing will go back to the palace with me tomorrow, the queen mother was still talking to you a few days ago!" Zhu Cihong was also itching in his heart, and he didn't want to go back to the palace where he had stayed for more than ten years.

It's still at ease outside!

But Zhu Cihong also left a back hand for himself, and if he went back alone, he would definitely be admonished by the Empress Dowager Zhou, but if he dragged Liu Hongjian back, maybe it would become invisible.

"It's okay, I'll take Shohito away when I leave tomorrow, I'm fed up with her."
