Chapter 444

The next day, the soldiers arranged by Bai Qing and Cheng Feng left with the letter. When they were free for a while, they came to Qi Ke to see the firing test of the explosive package.

The soldiers collecting the pigs and digging their roots went up the mountain after breakfast in the morning, and this time they were accompanied by Fu Xiaoli and his three boys. It was too uncomfortable to let them play in the village for a few days without doing anything, so they might as well go to work together. Witness the scene of a good harvest.

Ding Lin and the other three girls were left behind. Qi Ke meant that it was okay to go and have a look, but there was no need to work. The men were so hot that their shirtless clothes were worn on their bodies to wipe sweat and sunburn, and the women I was sweating all over and didn't dare to untie two more buttons, so why bother to suffer.

The girls giggled, thinking that the scene was really indecent, so they stopped making trouble up the mountain, but went to the inn to help dry the pigs and dig their roots. This job was easy and not tiring, and after going through it once, they could go to the shade to rest.

As soon as the girls were sent off to have fun, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng came to see the launch test. Fortunately, they made preparations yesterday. Qi Ke and Zhaolin took their things and led the way. They still walked up the mountain on the hanging basket platform yesterday and passed along the mountain road. After entering the fervent pig planing root field, he walked further and further away, and finally came to the small valley where Qi Ke had demonstrated an explosive kit test.

"I'll go in and check the target. Are you two waiting at the entrance? I'll come out soon."

"No, let's go in together. I'll see the actual distance between your target and here. Let's do a few more experiments and pull down the barrel."

"Okay, Mr. Qian has the final say."

Qi didn't understand what the Bai family army paid attention to in the practical testing of ordnance. Bai Qing said what he said, so he just watched it.

However, Zhao Lin noticed that Bai Qing and Cheng Feng were not blind. Since they said they had to look at the actual distance, their first step into the valley was different from the steps they used to walk all the way. The distance between steps is equal, which is really to measure the firing distance of the barrel with feet.

Seeing this, Zhao Lin didn't say anything, but stepped up to chase Qi Ke, and the two teamed up to lift the scarecrow target out of the tool shed and insert it into the soil.

This experiment has to be done several times, and several grass targets have to be used to demonstrate the firing distance of the barrel. There is always a difference between the nearest and the farthest.

Qi Ke and Zhao Lin set up the first grass target, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng also measured it in front of them with their footsteps, and then the four of them retreated to the entrance of the small valley together, Zhao Lin untied the burden in his hands, and Qi Ke held the shovel in front of him. Dig a hole in the ground and prepare to half-bury the barrel.

"Do you want to use it like this? Can't it be placed directly on the ground?"

The beginning of the demonstration is the beginning of asking questions. No matter how naive the question feels, it is necessary to ask. Not only should Bai Qing and Cheng Feng understand it now, but they must write it out word by word when they report to the general in the future.

"No, it must be compacted with soil, otherwise the barrel will shift at the moment of firing, and once it shifts, it's hard to say who it hits."

"It's also possible to hit one of your own people?"

Qi Ke hugged the cannon barrel and posed on the ground with the cannon barrel facing the sky, "Because this cannon barrel is light, it is not a cannon that the army has to be drawn by horses. It is placed directly on the ground. When it is fired, the muzzle is lifted up. Where will the explosive package fly?"

"Okay, let us have a look first."

"Stand back a little bit."

Bai Qing and Cheng Feng retreated to the side, and Qi Ke neatly half-buried the barrel in the soil, put in the explosive package, checked the fuse, ignited, and fired.
