Chapter 445

There was a bang, and gunpowder smoke filled the air in the direction of the grass target in the distance.

The four of them stood for a while, waiting for the smoke to clear before starting to check the grass target.

Qi Ke has experimented many times in the spiritual realm, and has already mastered the calculation method between the firing angle and the firing distance of the cannon barrel. The result of her demonstration of the cannon is naturally that it hits the target. grass clippings.

"It's really able to explode so far." Cheng Feng's eyes lit up.

"Could it be further away?" Bai Qing asked.

"Okay." Qi Ke nodded, "I'll prepare now."

Qi Ke and Zhaolin went to move a new grass target, Bai Qing and Cheng Feng returned to Taniguchi, and discussed what kind of situation this cannon was suitable for while walking, and finally felt that it was very suitable for dealing with pirates coming ashore to invade the village. It is far away and flexible in transportation. The beach is outside the village, unobstructed and unobstructed. The terrain and vision are most suitable for artillery attacks.

Cheng Feng immediately said that this is the credit of Qi Keli, and when the army makes more durable barrels, it must be given priority to Erma Town and the villages below.

Bai Qing said no problem, he even had a better idea.

The two waited at the mouth of the valley for a short time, and Qi Ke and Zhaolin, who had arranged it properly, came back, dug up the soil of the half-buried gun barrel, adjusted the angle of the muzzle and re-buried it, put in the explosive package to check the fuse, ignited, and fired.

After another deafening explosion and ground shaking, the four went to inspect the scene and, not surprisingly, saw a satisfactory result.

The grass target arranged for the second time was blown up, and the impact of the explosion wiped out the grass clippings from the previous explosion.

"Well, the power of this explosive pack is different from before." Bai Qing realized belatedly that Qi Ke's explosive pack was different from the black powder they were used to in the army.

"The prescription has been adjusted countless times. If it is still the traditional black powder, what is the need for improvement? It is normal to have changes." Qi Ke was confident and confident, smiling at her side, the kind of master who is very powerful and proud expression.

"The power of gunpowder has changed, so the barrels made by the blacksmiths in the traditional way are no longer suitable. No wonder they break down quickly." Cheng Feng burst into laughter, "You blacksmiths in Siliu Village have been wronged."

What Cheng Feng said is correct. The blacksmiths in Siliu Village are really about to be tortured crazy by Qi Ke. They are all family-handed craftsmanship. Blacksmiths in the army have been familiar with the skills of making gun barrels for generations. Strong and durable things break down very quickly in Qi Ke's hands.

In Qi Ke's eyes, the problem with the gun barrel is that the manufacturing process is outdated and cannot withstand the internal pressure of too many explosions of the new formula gunpowder.

Of course there is a solution, but Qi Ke has already established the image of a medicine woman with double meanings of medicine and gunpowder, and she doesn't want to establish a new image of metal smelting and manufacturing in a short time, so she can only keep her mouth shut when upgrading the smelting of the barrel. Bai Jiajun thought about it by himself.

A group of pirates who don’t know when they will go ashore to rob. This hidden danger can be big or small. The main reason is that the pirates hold firearms to kill and rob. If the frontier army and the government do not have counter-arms, they will be very passive, and they will not be able to protect the people. It can't protect his own safety, so Qi is not worried that the Bai family army will not step up to come up with a new barrel after getting the gunpowder formula of the explosive package.

"Why are you wronged? The power of gunpowder has been improved, and you still use traditional crafts to make the barrel, and you still have the face of grievance?" Bai Qing looked at the mess on the ground, and liked the new explosive package very much, "Since they can't keep up, then They won’t have any share of the rewards that come down, and the credit for the cannon barrel is destined to miss them.”
