Ye Chunqiu turned around and hurried to the artillery cabin. Wang Meng and Ye Si hurriedly followed the officers of the Zhuhunting Army. In the artillery cabin, the craftsmen had made complete preparations. When they saw Ye Chunqiu coming, everyone held their breath and stood by.

Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "Prepare for a test shot."

Because it was a test shot, it was all researchers and craftsmen who completed the shooting. Several craftsmen brought the shells slightly trembling on the bumpy boat, stuffed the shells into the breeze, and then closed the cannon door. Then, everyone looked at Ye Chunqiu, and Ye Chunqiu nodded to the craftsman.

The craftsman pulled it tightly, and then, with a roar, white smoke rose in the cannon cabin, as if the entire ship was shaking, but Ye Chunqiu really ignored these things, held a pillar beside him, and observed from the porthole with his eyes tightly.

Then he saw a flash of light suddenly flashing in the direction of the gun mouth. The light flashed slightly, and Ye Chunqiu had no way to see the trajectory of the shell flying out. He only heard a roar. After a few seconds, there was another huge roar thousands of meters away. The grenade and the tail flame exploded after entering the water, and suddenly splashed a huge wave several feet high. The huge waves mixed with the smoke and the instantaneous firelight. Even if you observe it in the cabin, you can still see its huge power.

call……

Everyone was shocked.

At least Yes and Wang Meng's chins were about to fall off. Yes had seen many artillery guns in the Franc, but like this, it was unprecedented: "This is a miracle." He continued in surprise: "It is definitely a miracle."

Ye Chunqiu was smiling. This was just the most crude howitzer. Or in other words, this was just the "howitzer" improved on the basis of flowering bullets. Compared with real howitzers, it was still a thousand flowering bullets away.

At this time, someone had already put down the boat. Several sailors and two researchers boarded the boat and tried to row in the direction of the explosion. In addition to steel balls and gunpowder, as well as dyes, they quickly arrived at the general position of the shells, recorded the data, and then rowed back. The two researchers climbed onto the deck with pale faces and then began to report the data.

The range is about two thousand steps, roughly one thousand meters. This distance is not as modern as it is in later generations, even during the Civil War, it was a slag level. However, in this era, at least Yes was shocked.

He thought there was something wrong with his Chinese vocabulary, so he asked again. After confirming that he got the same answer, Yes had to smile bitterly. This range was at least more than twice as many as the current Franco machine cannon.

Then there is a report of various data, but the power of the howitzer is not introduced in detail, because there have been experiments on land. The general meaning is that if it is a ship, even the most "advanced" Qinhuang will have a huge lethality, which is completely incomparable to the iron cannon you are looking for.

Ye Chunqiu roughly read the data and immediately gave it to Ye Si and Wang Meng to see it. After seeing it, they also found it incredible. The range was more than doubled. According to the power on land, it has a very powerful armor-breaking function. After the explosion, it is amazing.

Wang Meng can understand it, after all... in his mind, this cannon should be just a grenade-firing cannon, which is understandable to be powerful, but Yes was shocked and looked at the data repeatedly, and was in shock.

Then several more shots were fired, and the situation was almost the same, but there were many places that needed improvement, such as the rubber under the artillery, which had begun to show signs of heat and melting. I was afraid that some insulation materials would inevitably be added at that time. Then the Qinhuang began to return. Next, the Zhenguo New Army will start producing this kind of artillery and produce shells on a large scale. When the dock of Qinhuangdao is basically completed, the fleet can go to Qinhuangdao for training.

On the way back, Ye Chunqiu was sitting in the cabin, accompanied by Wang Meng. Wang Meng looked at Ye Chunqiu. This was probably the first time he looked at this mentor so close. The mentor was a few years younger than him and seemed extremely young. However, in his unclosed eyes, there was a deep feeling that was not in line with his peers. He smiled and had warmth in his smile.

At this time, Wang Meng remembered something: "Mr., the power of this cannon is amazing. At that time, it will definitely be a weapon in the sea. If it is robbed, wouldn't it be bad?"

He felt that this was a hidden danger and couldn't help but raise it.

Ye Chunqiu looked up at him: "Is that so? Do they have artillery, but they have matching shells?"

"Ah..." Wang Meng stood there, unable to speak.

Ye Chunqiu said: "Even if there are reserves on the ship, how many days can it be used? It is no longer the same as before. At least in the new army of Zhenguo, this path cannot be understood. There are no magical artifacts in this world. Behind the magical artifact are countless craftsmen who work silently, countless researchers who are adjusting, and tens of thousands of gold and silver. Especially for this navy, a boat is not important. What is important is whether there is support from Zhenguo Mansion behind this ship? You don't have to worry about it. How about it, is it still pleasant to get along with Adjutant Ye?"

"It's pretty good. The Franchise guys are very smart. They don't talk about anything else. As long as the salary is paid on time and there are three meals a day, they will work hard to serve."

Ye Chunqiu looked at everything, and the Franji people at this time were probably the same mentality. If you don’t have money, you are worse than pigs and dogs. But if you have money, even if you are a widow who has left a legacy for a romantic wife, there are countless people who have fallen under his pomegranate skirt, and some down-and-out nobles are even more so.

Ye Chunqiu's so-called system support is also reasonable. Whether it is the Zhenguo New Army or the Navy, they no longer rely on dry food to fight military units. Their bullets and shells will be consumed in large quantities. After voyage, they need ship workers to maintain and repair the ships, update the ships, and continuously test-firing and drilling of shells.

These are definitely not something you can see by robbing a ship.

Now, at least it is no longer an era of mutiny. It is definitely not an era when a fleet leaves the home port and reaches a certain continent and can raise a flag to rebel.

When he arrived at the port, Ye Chunqiu still got on the boat and landed on the pier. Here, someone had prepared a carriage for him. Ye Chunqiu got on the carriage and went straight back to Beijing.

The benefits of the crane car are reflected at this time, because the car is comfortable and the speed is several times faster than that of the sedan chair, which makes it much more convenient for many people to go out, so Ye Chunqiu fell asleep comfortably in the car.
