Chapter 893: Wooden-handled grenade
"Governor?"
Pang Yukun in the imperial study showed a puzzled look, this name is a little novel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Ming nodded, and he said, "In the future, our army will occupy more places, and the temporary administrators of these places will be the governors, who will exercise their administrative powers on behalf of the imperial court. “
"I see, so the emperor is ready to hand over this matter to Ye Qingyun to deal with?"
"One Ye Qingyun is enough to deal with these people in Goryeo, the imperial court only needs to set some rules for him, and he will be in charge of the rest, so that he doesn't have to tie his hands and delay dealing with the crisis situation."
Pang Yukun nodded, in fact, it is true, what they need is to set a national strategy, and the specific details are implemented by specific generals and officials, otherwise it will be difficult for them to give full play to their talents.
"Xiaguan, this will give Ye Qingyun a fold." Pang Yukun said.
With that, Pang Yukun turned around and left.
Seeing Pang Yukun's figure disappear at the end of the trail, Xiao Ming stretched his waist and prepared to go back to rest, taking a boat in the past two days and taking a train is really tiring.
He never thought that when he walked out of the imperial study, he saw Chen Qi walking towards him.
"Your Majesty, please see what this is?" In front of Xiao Ming, Chen Qi took out something like a baby.
Seeing that the head was an iron block and the bottom was a wooden handle, Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and he said, "This is a grenade?" ”
"That's right, Your Majesty, this is a wooden-handled grenade, and after solving the problem of pulling the fire pipe, this wooden-handled grenade will not be difficult." Chen Qi looked relaxed.
"Yes, yes, you are all successful now, and you will be able to develop your own weapons even when I am no more." Xiao Ming is very pleased that the talent training in the past eight years is worth it.
Chen Qi scratched his head, he said: "Actually, this still relies on the information provided by the emperor, this fire pipe is just a lead pipe with broken glass, as long as it is gently pulled, it can be rubbed to produce sparks, and with the fire pipe, it can ignite the fuse, this fuse we use a fire lead that can burn for five seconds, and the fire lead will detonate the grenade after five seconds." ”
Xiao Ming took the wooden handle grenade and looked at it repeatedly, very satisfied, in fact, the grenade has a long history, and China was the first to invent it.
Hand grenades only appeared in Europe in the fifteenth century, when they were mainly used for fortress defense and prisons, and it was not until the middle of the 17th century that some European countries began to equip their elite troops with field grenades, and soldiers who were specially trained to use such ammunition were called grenadiers.
The March of the British Grenadier was made for grenadiers, but the grenades of this period were large and heavy, resembling a shot put.
So throwing a grenade requires an incredible arm, and at the same time a brave heart, because grenadiers often have to throw grenades at the front line.
This period lasted until the 19th century, but with the development of guns and the reduction of castle warfare, grenades began to be neglected, but in the First World War, due to the rise of trench warfare, grenades again showed excellent results, and the more typical grenades at that time were German wooden-handled grenades.
Now Chen Qi is obviously making a grenade similar to this one.
"Chen Qi, this grenade appeared at a very good time, now the war in the south is falling into a dead cycle of trench warfare, what is needed is this kind of grenade, I will immediately ask the cabinet to allocate a group of people to you to set up a special grenade factory, from now on, you must produce grenades day and night to break the trench confrontation in the south." Xiao Ming said excitedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Qi was a little flattered, and now his research progress in artillery is difficult, although he proposed a number of new types of artillery, but because of industrial restrictions, these cannons cannot be manufactured at all.
And this grenade brought him back to his glory.
Giving Chen Qi an approving look, Xiao Ming continued: "I know that you are studying the problem of breech artillery, don't rush this, it will be a matter of course." ”
Chen Qi showed a look of gratitude, and he said: "Thank you for the emperor's comfort, Chen Qi will definitely continue to work hard." ”
"So good."
After talking about the production of grenades, Xiao Ming not only had a little itchy hands when he held the wooden handle grenade, he said: "This palace is a spacious place, you might as well try the power of this wooden handle grenade." ”
After saying that, the two of them went out of the imperial study and stopped in the small square in front.
"Your Majesty, don't hurt yourself, just let the guards try it." Knowing the power of the grenade, Qian Dafu was anxious for Xiao Ming.
For him, it was a bomb.
Xiao Ming ignored Qian Dafu, the protection measures of this grenade were still very comprehensive, and only a five-second delay was enough for him to avoid danger.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Ming said as he unscrewed the safety cover on the grenade and threw away the cover, with a pull wire underneath.
He was also a little nervous when he got here, after all, he had never used this thing, and he did have the idea of setting up a grenadier before, but he also knew that Qingzhou's technology was changing every three years, and more excellent and suitable grenades would soon appear, so he gave up the grenadier because he felt that it was not necessary.
And now the appearance of wooden-handled grenades allows every soldier to be able to throw them easily, which is the only way to exert their true power.
"Zila!" Xiao Ming tugged on the string and tugged it violently, and cyan smoke immediately came out of the grenade, and he could even hear the sound of the fuse burning.
Seeing this, he threw the wooden-handled grenade violently.
"Boom!" Thirty meters away, a puff of smoke and fire rose, and the shock wave of the grenade explosion flew directly into the turf on the grass.
Qian Dafu turned pale with fright, and almost didn't sit on the ground, while a large number of guards swarmed in because of the huge movement.
"Hahaha......"
Xiao Ming and Chen Qi laughed heartlessly, there was a shallow pit at the place where the grenade exploded, which was caused by the power of the grenade explosion.
They were all satisfied with the power of the grenade.
"Very good, in this case, we will produce it as soon as possible, and now the war in the south needs grenades to break the stalemate, and at the same time reduce the casualties of soldiers." Xiao Ming groaned.
Chen Qi answered, arched his body and walked out, preparing to focus on this matter during this time.
Seeing Chen Qi away, Xiao Ming had a smile on his face.
The wooden-handled grenade was born, and the thermal power plant project was launched, and after countless dark nights, he was soon able to see the light of electricity.
Once there is electricity, more technological items will be born, and he believes that the technology of Dayu will always lead the world.
Even if the six people who escaped taught all their knowledge to the Europeans, they would not be able to catch up with the speed of the Great Yu Kingdom, because it was not him who was working alone, but thousands of students working together.
