Chapter seven hundred and twenty seventh: happy

The power of this grenade was indeed unexpected by Ye Chunqiu. He greeted a craftsman in the distance. The craftsman hurriedly came with a bamboo board and a pen, and someone brought a ruler. Then he began to carefully measure the big pit, observe the broken stones, and then recorded them one by one.

When Ye Chunqiu climbed onto the ground in a mess and he held his hands on the ground, he could feel the heat brought by the loess. Ye Chunqiu's palms were red, and he was shocked. Finally, everyone recovered.

Xu Jie was still mum and looked at Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren blankly. Ye Chunqiu smiled at him and said, "Go over there and tell them your feelings. You must make it clear in detail."

Xu Jie just nodded in a daze. In the shed, someone had already prepared to record the data of the experiment.

Ye Chunqiu and Wang Shouren had already arrived in the small shed on the side. Someone poured tea for them. Ye Chunqiu smiled at Wang Shouren with a dirt face and said, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry very much. It's my fault, but I didn't even expect this power. I thought you wouldn't have any problems in the corner, so I didn't scare Brother Wang."

Wang Shouren had already recovered. Although he felt that he was still very tinnitus, he could finally hear Ye Chunqiu clearly. He was indeed a person who had experienced things. At this time, he did not express his shock, but a hint of luster flashed through his eyes and said, "Chunqiu, what is this?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Gunpowder."

gunpowder……

Wang Shouren wanted to cry, well, it was gunpowder... It seemed to be true, but the gunpowder was too fierce. A palm-sized iron ball was thrown out, which was many times more powerful than the gunpowder filled with a few kilograms of gunpowder in the border town.

Wang Shouren couldn't help but say in annoyance: "It's a pity that we can't make a cannon. Otherwise, we will definitely be able to show our power. However... in this situation, it is enough for special purposes."

Wang Shouren knew that the army was not fake. The power of this kind of gunpowder was too great and could not be used on artillery. Most of the cannons in Bianzhen were inferior, and even the black gunpowder could not help but explode due to excessive amounts of medicines filled in. Besides, such gunpowder was almost unthinkable. Once such gunpowder was filled in the cannon, not to mention what the entire cannon fired, it was afraid that the barrel would explode first.

However... if it is just made of this kind of grenade, it will be of great use, but unfortunately it is still too powerful. It is obviously killing one thousand enemies and causing 800 damage to himself. Fortunately, there is a pit in front of Xu Jie. If there is no pit, I am afraid it will be bombed into the sky.

Ye Chunqiu liked this elder brother-in-law very much. He was a literary and martial artist, had extensive knowledge and traveled to border towns, worked as an official in the capital, went to Hanlin, studied military tactics, and went to Guizhou to play Niba. It can be said that he read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. This is by no means a joke. Now, as soon as he opened his mouth, he showed his level. He immediately combined the characteristics of this thing with reality and roughly confirmed the purpose of the grenade.

Ye Chunqiu said slowly: "It's not impossible to use it on cannons. As long as the artillery technology is improved, the iron cannon cannot withstand the power of this gunpowder, but it does not mean that the new cannon cannot withstand it. But this is a later story. It's still early now. Please ask Brother Wang. Brother Wang believes that if such a grenade is less powerful, can it be used in the new army?"

Wang Shouren couldn't help but frowned and pondered: "It's totally OK, but... he must throw enough distance, otherwise he might hurt his own people."

Ye Chunqiu nodded and said, "I think so too. If it is smaller, then twenty feet will be a safe distance, and within ten feet it will start to be dangerous. So... I have to train a few people who throw grenades first. The students of the new army in Zhenguo have a large arm strength, but how to throw and how to use skills requires long-term practice. So I plan to select ten people from the new army in Zhenguo to conduct this kind of exercise. In the future, they are mainly responsible for grenades and grenades... Well, this name is good. I think Xu Jie has such potential. Anyway, he has seen such powerful grenades, and I guess... In the future, grenades with smaller doses are a pediatric department for him, so let him take the grenade team. As for how to formulate the method of training and enable them to master the skills of throwing grenades, they still have to ask Brother Wang to write a charter."

Wang Shouren suddenly thought of the scene when the grenade exploded just now, and felt that the feeling of lingering fear had not passed yet, but when he saw its power, he was also excited at this time: "This matter...is not difficult, it's just..."

He became cautious: "Does such a magical artifact need to be reported to the Lord?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No."

Wang Shouren said cautiously: "If you don't report to the emperor, you're afraid..."

Ye Chunqiu said seriously: "Brother Wang, I only ask you, what would happen if His Majesty knew about such a thing? The performance of the grenade is still unstable. You have seen the situation just now. If His Majesty learned about it, with his personality..."

Wang Shouren suddenly realized and understood immediately. Ye Chunqiu is really far-sighted. Grenades can only be hidden for the time being. It is best not to spread it out, otherwise...

God knows that the little emperor knows what will happen. It would be fine if he just hurts people. If he blows himself up, he will be sad.

Ye Chunqiu said: "So, I will send a document to the Ministry of War for this matter, just explain the situation. For the time being... This grenade is only used to open mountains and explode rocks. A grenade is sometimes more efficient than hundreds of manual labor, but... I will talk about it until the performance is stable."

Wang Shouren was very interested in this grenade. He even imagined what the consequences would be if he gave the coming Tatars a few times when guarding the border town.

However, if you do not have a skilled person to use it, it will not only not be effective, but may cause your own casualties. For such a powerful weapon, you have to be careful. Grenadiers... It seems that they have to step up their preparations.

At this time, Xu Jie felt a little more comfortable, came from a shed and said, "Mr. Wang, the student has explained it clearly."

Ye Chunqiu looked at Xu Jie with a smile and said, "How do you feel?"

Xu Jie was silent for a moment, then his eyes shone brightly, and he said with a little excitement: "Happy."

This is a very simple answer. For Xu Jie, although he was still scared when he thought about it afterwards, to be honest, the feeling of throwing a grenade out, then the world changes color, and flying sand and stones should be described as refreshing.

"Very good, you are the talent my teacher is looking for." Ye Chunqiu smiled immediately and said something that made Xu Jie inexplicable. (To be continued.)
