Chapter 807: Flattening a Mountain
It can be said that since Xia Hongsheng crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, this one is the most difficult. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It stands to reason that making a smoothbore, front-loading red-coated cannon does not have too much technical difficulty in terms of the current capabilities of the military aircraft workshop. Anyway, it is also very powerful, and in this era, it is still the most advanced weapon as usual, and it can still make the enemy fearful.
But Xia Hongsheng has always been a perfectionist, and for Datang, Xia Hongsheng hopes that all aspects of it will be perfect, or at least walking in the direction of perfection.
Especially for the cutting-edge technology of artillery, Xia Hongsheng hopes that Datang can have a very high starting point in this regard. The higher the starting point, the larger the field of view, and the higher the start, so that you can maintain a high level in the future.
The time has changed from the beginning of February in the sixth year of Zhenguan to the middle of July now. Xia Hongsheng and those craftsmen stayed in the development base for more than four months and did not go out.
It has long been since the Tang Dynasty declared war on the Japanese State, and it has been a long time since Li Shimin thundered and became angry in the court, and officially issued a will to crusade against the Japanese State, which was more than three months ago.
Samples of artillery were made one after another, and one after another was overthrown.
In the mourning hall, there are also a few more tablets. There were a few soldiers, and there were also two firearms craftsmen. There are also a few more people who lack arms and legs.
The craftsmen gathered in the military machine workshop can be said to be the best craftsmen in the world today. Now they have gathered here, bored for more than four months, resting only two or three hours a day, and their hearts are full of artillery. Sometimes when I was asleep in the middle of the night, I suddenly thought of a possibility, and I would immediately wake up others to experiment together, for fear that I would forget about it if I closed my eyes a little.
None of these old blacksmiths complained. Because of the names on the tablets in the mourning hall, even they didn't have a trace of complaints, how could these people who were alive not inherit their will and grit their teeth?
Xia Hongsheng lost a lot of weight, as if he had not had enough meals in Luanzhou City again. Not only Xia Hongsheng, but also these craftsmen.
Everyone, holding back a fierce energy, vowed to get this thing out.
It was a soldier who pushed the gun mount hard and pushed another gun into the proving ground.
Xia Hongsheng sighed and opened the thick pile of paper in his hand, which was densely packed with all the details of the process of making artillery.
"The sixth year of the Tang Dynasty Zhenguan, July 21. Artillery test launch, ninth. Xia Hongsheng wrote in the log: "Gong Zhenliang, a sailor soldier, and Ran Dazhu tried to fire artillery. ”
Qi Yong brought the wine jar.
Xia Hongsheng put down the log and walked over.
As usual, it is a jar of wine, and as usual, it is sprinkled to the earth first, paying tribute to those loyal souls who sacrificed their lives for the progress of the Tang Dynasty.
A pot of turbid wine became heavier and heavier, making Xia Hongsheng almost unable to control himself.
After drinking the last bowl of wine, in the military song of the Tang Dynasty, the two looked at each other and smiled, dropped the bowl, didn't say a word, didn't hesitate for half a minute, turned around and walked towards the artillery.
Die generously, what an ambition!
Xia Hongsheng had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth and stuffed the earbuds, and picked up the log.
Familiar and smooth movements, the two have practiced countless times on the model of the artillery. The difference is that this time, the inside was replaced with a real projectile.
Adjust the direction, estimate the distance, and adjust the angle in one go.
"Boom!" On the mountain in the distance, it was as if someone had used a fairy spell and attracted thunder, and suddenly there was a flying sand and rocks, and the hustle and bustle was permeated.
The two seemed unmoved, and the cartridge casings were withdrawn and reloaded.
"Boom!" There was another loud bang that shook the sky, and the air in his ears seemed to be pumping violently, and the ground shook violently, and a cloud of smoke and dust rose from the far distance.
Two shots.
Xia Hongsheng stared at the artillery.
"Boom!"
Three shots.
Xia Hongsheng's eyes were even more solemn.
"Boom!"
Xia Hongsheng's heart began to twitch.
"Boom!"
Five shots!
Xia Hongsheng's body began to tremble slightly, and his heart beat violently.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "There were loud noises, and the earth shook again and again.
The mountains in the distance suddenly collapsed, and the dust in the sky swelled, and for a time the sand and rocks were flying, like a mudslide surging downward.
"The mountain has fallen! The mountain is falling! The people around shouted out.
Xia Hongsheng only felt a sour nose, a hot eye, tears gushing out, and he stood there laughing.
The old craftsmen ran out, ran to Xia Hongsheng, surrounded Xia Hongsheng, and shouted with teeth and claws, with a pair of old tears on their faces, drawing ravines on their dusty faces.
Xia Hongsheng pulled out the earplugs, and the soldiers roared, jumped, hugged each other, cried and laughed and slapped each other's shoulders, a scene of madness, madness and ecstasy.
It's done! It's done!
Xia Hongsheng only felt that there was an indescribable ecstasy in his heart at the moment, just like those soldiers and craftsmen, crying and laughing, almost crazy. In the ecstasy, he suddenly felt a relief in his brain, as if something had suddenly poured into his brain from his body, and he rolled his eyes and fell backwards.
Qi Yong's eyes were quick, and he immediately caught Xia Hongsheng.
In Xia Hongsheng's eyes, the last picture was Qi Yong yelling at him.
I don't know how long it has been.
Xia Hongsheng woke up in peace.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately heard Qi Yong's voice: "Childe? Son?! You're awake! ”
Awake? Did I faint?
Xia Hongsheng felt his body, but he didn't feel any discomfort.
turned his head to look at Qi Yong, but heard Qi Yong say: "The prince personally came with a military doctor, and he is waiting outside at the moment." The military doctor said that the son was overworked and depressed, and Shicai suddenly became ecstatic, and as soon as his heart was relaxed, he fell asleep. ”
Xia Hongsheng was stunned when he heard this, what does it mean, is this the meaning of being dizzy with joy?
Then he turned his head and said to Qi Yong: "Go, call the prince to come in!" ”
Qi Yong nodded and immediately ran out. Soon, Li Xiaogong and Li Chengqian appeared in front of Xia Hongsheng's eyes.
"Brother Sheng!"
"Virtuous nephew!"
The two of them exhaled together.
"Uncle Li, quickly order someone to build a section of the city wall! Just build a reinforced concrete city wall according to the specifications of the city wall of Chang'an City! Xia Hongsheng sat up and hurriedly said, "I'm going to try the power of artillery!" ”
"Don't worry! Don't worry! A good life will be important to nourish the body! Li Xiaogong hurriedly pressed Xia Hongsheng down, and said: "This king immediately ordered someone to repair the wall, virtuous nephew, you should rest quickly!" ”
"Brother Sheng!" Li Chengqian was so excited, he grabbed Xia Hongsheng's arm and pinched it involuntarily, his eyes were bright, staring at Xia Hongsheng, his voice was trembling with excitement, and he said incoherently: "It's powerful!" It's too big! A mountain has been smoothed out! That's amazing! Brother Sheng! ”
