Yang Yue stepped forward and leaned over to look.

Inside the scroll, the craftsmen drew a figure that resembles a crow, similar to the Divine Fire Crow in the past history books.

For a moment, he raised his head in surprise and looked at Chen Beiming and the craftsmen next to him.

Chen Beiming seemed to have an understanding, took two or three steps forward, and pointed his finger to the painting axis: "Your Majesty, this is made by craftsmen imitating the flight of birds, with the help of fine bamboo and reeds, filled with gunpowder, two gunpowder on each side of the fire, and the bottom of the gunpowder cartridge in the two wings is connected with the fine gunpowder wire in the bird's body.

When the army is marching, the gunpowder on both wings is ignited, and suddenly the strong thrust will push the bird's body out of the way, and the gunpowder filled inside the ordnance will ignite and explode when it lands.

This power is no less than that of the earth-shaking thunder, and the combat range is more extensive, and it can cause casualties to the enemy by surprise, so as to effectively protect the Tang army."

Hearing the sound, Yang Yue bowed slightly, according to what Chen Beiming said, the firearms currently being made are no different from the Divine Fire Crow.

The craftsmen in the armory workshop have this masterpiece, which is beyond Yang Yue's expectations.

When he praised it, Yang Yue's eyes shifted to the picture next to him and examined it in detail.

In a few pictures, the earth-shaking thunder is either tied to a kite, or directly erected on the catapult, and the earth-shaking thunder is thrown out by the projectile power of the catapult.

Chen Beiming kept describing various types of ordnance and production methods to Yang Yue, and the craftsman next to him occasionally added a few words.

Yang Yue's heart is like a mirror, and it is extremely difficult to make firearms similar to those of later generations.

From the bottom of his heart, he didn't have any hope.

After all, to make powerful ordnance, you need a mature craft system, with many special materials.

Datang currently does not have a mature process system and cannot make powerful instruments.

What's more, craftsmen have not been exposed to the firearms of later generations, and without any foundation, with their own exploration, they can continue to innovate and improve, which is already commendable.

No matter how bad the situation is, at least, all the efforts to innovate and improve, in this way, Datang's ordnance will become stronger and stronger.

He firmly believed that in time, the Tang Army's ordnance would make great progress, bringing about earth-shaking changes in the Tang Army and completely changing the way of warfare.

After roughly understanding the ideas of the craftsmen, Yang Yue pointed to the scroll and asked anxiously: "Do you have any specific results in improving the design of the earth-shaking thunder?"

Battlefield combat is not child's play, there is no room for the slightest flaw, since the earth-shaking thunder is destined to be a weapon of the country, he needs results to speak.

Several craftsmen glanced at each other, and the person at the head bowed down and reported: "Your Majesty, the villain and others have personally experimented, and a lot of results have been achieved so far, if the emperor is willing, the villain is willing to test it himself."

In the past, they tried and tested again and again, and continued to improve, and they were waiting to be reported to the imperial court, and if the imperial court approved, they would immediately put it into production.

Today, Yang Yue came suddenly, and they happened to let the other party personally inspect and make changes.

In this way, it will save a lot of time!

Yang Yue couldn't wait to witness the improved earth-shattering thunder, bowed his head slightly, motioned to the craftsman to lead the way, and everyone went to an open space in the armory.

Several craftsmen personally brought the ordnance and prepared it attentively.

A firearm that looks like a divine bird appears in the clearing, as if it is about to spread its wings and take off, and its martial power is like a rainbow.

A craftsman stepped forward and said to Yang Yue: "Your Majesty, it's ready."

Yang Yue bowed slightly, asked the forbidden army next to him for a fire fold, and said loudly: "I came to try his power in person!"

Lin Kaiyue, Zhao Xuanhu, Yuan Mingsha, and the craftsman next to them suddenly heard Yang Yue's words and looked shocked.

When he wanted to step forward to persuade him to surrender, Yang Yue waved his arm slightly and walked straight forward.

Several craftsmen did not dare to hesitate and quickly caught up.

Arriving at the back end of the firearm, Yang Yue held the torch and looked at the arrow target a hundred zhang away in the distance, and the dragon smiled with a smile.

Bend down slightly, take a torch and light the line of fire behind you, the line of fire creaks, emits a faint smoke, flashes and burns!

In the retreat, the firearm creaked, and the big bird's body suddenly rose into the air, like an eagle with wings spread, flying towards the arrow target in front.

Swift and stable!

Boom!

When the firearm fell within two steps of the arrow target, it made a huge explosion sound, the ground was smashed out of a large pit, the mud and sand were splashed, and the standing arrow target shook back and forth!

At present, Yang Yue turned his head to the craftsman next to him and asked, "Is this considered a success?"

As he spoke, he walked quickly towards the arrow target, Lin Kaiyue, Yuan Mingsha, Zhao Xuanhu and the forbidden army hurriedly caught up and walked in the direction of the arrow target.

The improved earth-shattering thunder is far more powerful than before, the key range is about 100 zhang, the range has exceeded that of the repeater, the longbow, and it is easy to carry, and can be used in battlefield operations.

Before the group arrived at the target, Lin Kaiyue stepped forward and grabbed the target that was shaking back and forth, the target was covered with iron filings, and many places were pierced by small pieces of iron.

"Your Majesty, this earth-shattering thunder is very powerful!" Lin Kaiyue said excitedly.

The target is made of straw, nailed to a thick wooden board, and the iron filings, iron blocks, and solid targets that flew out when the earth-shaking thunder exploded were all pierced, and they were all greeted on the enemy army and war horses, and the consequences were unimaginable!

"Not bad, not bad!"

Yang Yue stroked the perforation on the target, jumped over the arrow target, and found the iron block that landed seven or eight steps behind, and praised it.

Several craftsmen stepped forward, and someone reported: "Your Majesty, this firearm is filled with a large amount of iron filings, iron blocks, and enough gunpowder, when it explodes, the lethality is stronger, but unfortunately, the crosshairs are too poor, and the villain will improve as soon as possible!"

Dare to ask the emperor to give him a name, and in the future, it will be mass-produced!"

"Aiming at things, slowly improving!" Yang Yue said!

The power and range of firearms have far exceeded his expectations, and only the accuracy is unsatisfactory, which is also the most difficult problem when improving the earth-shaking thunder.

Lang Sheng said: "Since the firearm is so like a giant bird with wings spreading, it is better to call it the Divine Fire Flying Crow!"

"Divine Fire Crow?"

“......”

Lin Kaiyue, Guo Huaiyuan, Yuan Mingsha, Chen Beiming and the craftsmen next to him murmured repeatedly!

"Chen Beiming, from today onwards, you will personally supervise and make a large number of Divine Fire Flying Crows as soon as possible, Lin Kaiyue, as soon as possible, transfer two thousand people from the Xiaowu Army to form a Fire Raven Army, and specialize in controlling the Divine Fire Flying Crows!" Yang Yue clenched his fists and commanded coldly.

"Yes!"

Chen Beiming, Lin Kaiyue hugged his fists!

At this time, Yang Yue turned to stare at several craftsmen, and said loudly: "Everyone work hard, improve other firearms as soon as possible, and if there are results, each person will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

"Thank the emperor for the reward!"

In the next few days, Yang Yue worked tirelessly, successively went to the armory, alchemy, and pottery workshops, personally inspected the workshops, and witnessed the changes in the workshops, and the effects of the workshops in Shencheng had exceeded his expectations.

Yang Yue is very happy about the earth-shaking changes in Shencheng and various workshops!

However, when he inspected the workshops, officials at all levels also reported many problems to him!

Lin Kaiyue's previous summary was not wrong, Shen Cheng gained a lot, but there are also many problems, and many problems need to be solved urgently.
