Cui Wenqing looked up and saw that there was something quietly placed on the wooden frame in front of him.

After careful examination, he found that it was about five feet long, with an iron arrow cluster at the tip, a wooden arrow body at the rest, and in a small arrow cluster that was magnified several times.

However, at the front of the wooden arrow, there is also a cylinder-shaped thing made of alum paper, which looks a bit like a firecracker, and looks very similar to the monkeys played by children in later generations.

Cui Wenqing didn't need to ask, he knew that this was the rocket developed by Li Daoxuan and them.

At this time, Shen Zhengzheng had already pointed his finger and explained: "Metropolitan Governor, please see, this thing is our latest developed rocket, the specific method is based on special arrows, tied to the arrow body with a cylinder made of alum paper, into the gunpowder to make it full, the external lead for ignition, when it comes to the enemy, as long as the soldier ignites the lead with fire, this rocket can be shot out quickly, far beyond the distance of the bow and crossbow." ”

Zhi Zhao nodded, stopped and looked at it carefully, and only after half a sound did he turn around and ask, "What does the husband think of this thing?" ”

Team Shen was waiting for Zhi Zhao's inquiry, but he didn't expect that Zhi Zhao didn't choose to ask him, but asked the young man on the side, and Shen Team Zheng couldn't help but be surprised, and his puzzled eyes also looked at Li Daoxuan, who came from the same road.

Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly, but it was inconvenient to explain, and looked at Cui Wenqing with a look of hope, hoping that he could really tell the reason, so that Zhe Zhao would dispel the idea of terminating the research and development of the rocket.

Cui Wenqing walked around the rocket, and swung forward two or three times, before he smiled bitterly: "This thing...... You're the one who made the rocket? Can it be used? ”

As soon as the words came out, Li Daoxuan and Shen Team, who didn't know what he meant, were stunned at the same time.

Li Daoxuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and secretly wondered if Aunt Cui was really like the Governor of the Metropolis, and he had never seen a real rocket at all?

However, Shen Teamzheng felt that Cui Wenqing's words were implicitly sarcastic, so he pulled his old face and said in a stiff tone: "What is this thing not a rocket?" As for usage, you can kill the enemy by lighting it directly, don't you know the young man! ”

Cui Wenqing shook his head and said: "This thing is very different from the rocket I imagined, Shen Teamzheng, please ignite it, I want to see the effect." ”

Team Shen frowned, and was about to say, "Just say something", Li Daoxuan next to him knew that Shen Team Zheng was stubborn, and immediately preemptively said when he saw that he was wrong: "Okay, please wait a while, uncle, this will make people ignite the rocket." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ordered: "Captain Wang, I will ask you to light the rocket and let the Metropolitan Governor and Aunt Cui take a look." ”

One of the subordinates who followed Shen Teamzheng nodded his head, stepped forward to the side of the rocket, took out a fire fold from his arms and blew it violently, and only after the flame red light appeared on the surface of the fire fold did he bring the fire fold to the lead of the rocket cylinder.

There was a soft "snort", and the fuse burned out and the flame went straight into the cylinder filled with flames.

Suddenly, the rocket that was originally placed on the wooden frame instantly emitted a loud sound, and it flew out with blue smoke and swept forward, and several people built a pergola to watch from afar, and saw that the rocket flew a distance of about 100 zhang, almost imperceptibly, before falling to the ground.

Li Daoxuan opened his mouth to explain: "Dadu Dudu, according to the range, the range of ordinary bows and arrows is about 100 paces, that is, the distance between 35 and 40 zhang, and the hard crossbow bow can reach a distance of up to 45 zhang, and no matter how far it goes, it will not be lethal, and the bed crossbow with the most power and the longest range in the army will definitely not exceed 100 zhang, and the rocket can reach 150 zhang in terms of distance, which is really an amazing range." ”

"Secondly, let's talk about the power, the long arrows used in the rocket are specially made by the craftsmen of the Divine Craftsman Battalion, because with the help of gunpowder, even if it is more than 100 zhang, it still has a very good lethality, and it can even penetrate the armor, if it is used to shoot the enemy general, it will have a miraculous effect."

Zhi Zhao bowed his head slightly when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know how the rocket is accurate?" ”

Faced with this question, Li Daoxuan and Shen Zheng glanced at each other, with embarrassment on their faces, and the former said, "Are you on time...... Because the rocket cannot be targeted, the chances of hitting the intended target are definitely worse, but if it can be launched on a large scale at the same time, it can make up for the lack of accuracy. ”

Zhi Zhao nodded and continued to ask: "The head of the rocket is a fire word, if it rains, I don't know if this thing can be used?" ”

Hearing this, Li Daoxuan was even more embarrassed, and whispered: "This ...... The rocket is not suitable for use in rainy days, and its biggest advantage lies in its range and power. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhi Zhao sighed lightly, and said regretfully: "It's not good to be accurate, it's subject to the weather, it's inconvenient to carry, and it's troublesome to make, do you think this rocket is still necessary to be developed?" ”

After listening to the words, everyone was silent, and it was difficult to answer the question.

Zhi Zhao didn't think that they would be able to answer his question, so he turned around and asked Cui Wenqing: "Husband, after looking at the real rocket and understanding its advantages and disadvantages in detail, you should die now!" ”

Cui Wenqing nodded with a wry smile and said, "What the lady said is good, there is really no need to develop this kind of thing." ”

Li Daoxuan didn't expect Cui Wenqing to change his mind so quickly, his face changed suddenly, but Shen Team's face was like ashes, his lips trembled and he wanted to argue, but he couldn't say a word.

Zhi Zhao glared at Cui Wenqing funny, and asked with a playful smile: "Since the husband has accepted defeat, I don't know what kind of military law the commander should implement and punish you for the crime of colliding with the boss in a big tent?" ”

Cui Wenqing laughed and said: "Lady, it's too early for me to admit defeat, in my eyes, this kind of rocket you made is not the rocket I imagined, almost all of them have no advantages, what's the use of long distance, and it's not a plane, why do you want to go so far?" ”

Li Daoxuan and Shen Teamzheng didn't expect Cui Wenqing to deny the rocket they had bothered to develop, and their faces were faintly ugly for a while.

On the contrary, he was stunned, and said with a helpless smile: "Dare to ask my husband, what is this plane?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "This plane is a kind of bird that flies the highest and tallest, the size of a Dapeng, and it can also stand on its back, which can make people fly thousands of miles a day." ”

Zhi Zhaozi didn't believe his words, glared at him and snorted coldly: "Husband just said that this thing is not a rocket, so I don't know what the rocket you are talking about is?" ”

Cui Wenqing leaned over and picked up a rocket, pointed at it and asked, "Here, let me ask you a question first, dare to ask why this rocket can fly so far?" ”

Zhi Zhao was dumbfounded, and directly set his eyes on Li Daoxuan and Shen Teamzheng.

Happy Children's Day, big friends and children!!
