Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 440: Several issues with grenades

"Nothing, Your Highness King Yan, Mr. Su and I were just chatting casually."

Liu Banxian explained immediately.

Su Jing also nodded and said: "King Yan, Master Du is also a fortune teller. He is very powerful, even Liu Banxian cannot compare to him."

"Ok?"

Zhu Di was confused, but since Su Jing had spoken, he didn't ask any more questions.

"Sir, the students have rested."

Zhu Di said to Su Jing.

Su Jing nodded, stood up and said, "Then let's try it."

The two quickly came to the sandbags. Next to them was a deep pit, which was prepared for danger.

Once it is not thrown out, Su Jing will choose to avoid risks based on the actual situation.

The most effective way to avoid grenades is to hide in a deep pit.

Because the flying shrapnel after the explosion is quite powerful, only by hiding in a deep pit can one avoid being hit by stray shrapnel.

"Okay, let's open the back cover."

Su Jing directed, and Zhu Di followed suit.

The back cover of the grenade was opened to reveal the lead. Zhu Di's movements were very steady, and his body did not tremble at all. It was not like the first time he threw a grenade.

"Prepare to light the fuse."

Su Jing commanded again.

Zhu Di nodded, holding a grenade in his right hand and a fire breaker with the cover removed in his left hand.

Huozhezi is really a great invention of the working people of ancient China.

The sparks inside a well-preserved fire dumpling can last for a year.

"Light up the throw."

Su Jing said.

Zhu Di carefully lit the fuse, then swung it out with his right hand. The lit grenade flew directly to the target area ahead.

The grenade landed steadily at a distance of six to seven feet, a quite safe distance!
The grenade landed and did not explode immediately.

Because the grenade Su Jing gave Zhu Di had a burning time of about seven seconds.

Because it was ignited by fire, the explosion delay time needs to be appropriately longer.

But Zhu Di's entire operation was very fast, without any lag, so these seven seconds were a bit long for him.

It only took Zhu Di about two seconds to complete the ignition and explosion operations.

The grenade flew in the air for about two seconds.

three.

two.

One.

Su Jing was counting down in her heart, while Zhu Di followed Su Jing's request and hid behind the sandbags and watched carefully.

Bang!
There was a loud noise and the grenade exploded.

The white smoke is mixed with the black dust. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is extremely powerful.

Further away, Liu Banxian's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment.

Just now Su Jing said that when he got the grenade, the first thing he thought was that the grenade was too dangerous. Although he didn't refute it, he still had some thoughts in his heart.

But at this moment, when he saw the power of the grenade explosion, he felt that he was lucky not to say too much just now.

It would be too dangerous to keep this kind of thing around.

"Well, not bad."

Su Jing nodded slightly. He was already very satisfied with the power of the explosion in the open space.

After all, this is a situation where there are no architectural references.

Zhu Di's eyes flickered. Although he had already seen the crime scene, there was still a difference between seeing the scene after the explosion and the scene of the direct explosion.

"The power of this grenade is so terrifying!"

Zhu Di looked at the explosion scene excitedly, and then looked at his right hand.

Just lighting it and throwing it out can cause such damage.

If this were to be used on the battlefield, it would be a powerful siege weapon!

"Okay, King Yan, there is no danger now. You can go to the explosion site and have a look."

Su Jing said to Zhu Di with a smile.

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Dina couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately climbed over the sandbag wall and trotted directly to the explosion point.

The grenade was completely invisible, and there was a small black hole on the ground, still emitting white smoke.

Traces of iron pieces and iron beads can be found on the surrounding ground. Judging from the damage they caused on the ground, if the human body is hit, it will definitely not be easy.

"How does it feel?"

Su Jing came to Zhu Di's side and asked.

Zhu Di replied: "Very good, this grenade is so powerful. If it can be used in combat, it will be a sharp weapon!"

Sure enough, Zhu Di's thoughts did not deviate from Su Jing's expectations at all.

"It's not enough now, it's immature in all aspects, and it's too early to use it in the military."

Su Jing said lightly.

Su Jing still has a say in the grenades she made.

"Immature?"

Zhu Di wondered: "Why do you say this, sir? Grenade is obviously a sharp weapon, especially when the two armies are confronting each other!"

Su Jing took out another grenade and said, "Look at this grenade and weigh it."

Zhu Di immediately took it over and weighed it carefully, and then he said: "It's a little heavier."

"good."

Su Jing nodded and said: "It's heavy, but when making these grenades, especially the iron sphere at the front end, I used the same mold, and the amount of gunpowder was also weighed. Everything was done according to the same mold. It comes from standards.”

"But there will still be errors in the end. Don't underestimate this error. If the grenade is really used in military operations, and the weight of the grenade in daily training is different from that in actual combat, it will inevitably cause uncertainty in throwing."

"This is the first immaturity of the current grenade. It is not unified enough."

Zhu Di listened carefully and quite agreed with this.

He had been practicing throwing just now, and he knew very well what impact a change in weight would have on the change in throwing feel.

In particular, the different weights mentioned by Su Jing do not seem to be caused by the production process, but by a process problem.

This will cause the weight of all grenades to be different, which is a big problem.

However, Zhu Di's response was very sensitive and he immediately said: "Sir, once such grenades are mass-produced, wouldn't it be enough to do a good job of screening and classify the grenades of different weights?"

It can be said that this kid Zhu Di is a militant. If the weapons are given to him, he will use them even if he thinks of ways.

Large-scale production, then screening and classification.

This method is very simple, but also very effective.

Su Jing nodded and said: "What you said, King Yan, is indeed a solution, but this is just the first immaturity."

"There are other things, such as moisture resistance. Grenades are not other firearms. Guns and ammunition are stored separately. Grenades are integrated and can only be placed together and cannot be stored like other ammunition." "For example, the problem of igniting the fuse, every Every soldier has to carry a fire seal, which will be difficult to use in a windy, frosty, rainy and snowy world."

"For example, the problem of misfiring, even if it is a grenade made by me, there is a possibility of misfiring and failing to explode."

"For example, when it comes to misfires, grenades are extremely easy to ignite and explode compared to other ammunition."

……

Su Jing talked about the disadvantages of seven or eight grenades in one breath, directly extinguishing Zhu Di's current idea of ​​equipping the Ming army with grenades.

"It's the students who didn't think carefully."

Zhu Di bowed towards Su Jing.

Su Jing waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter. It is your first time to use it, so you will inevitably be surprised. It is normal to think of these problems."

Zhu Di said: "Students think that Mr. Su will solve all these problems, and one day, students will finally see the perfect grenade."

Su Jing glanced at Zhu Di and did not answer the question.

……

The day passed by in a blur, and the messenger sent by Lao Zhu finally arrived in Lishui County.

Zhu Yuanzhang's order was clearly conveyed to Zhu Di and Su Jing.

"Father actually asked me to stay here first."

Zhu Di murmured to himself that the current plan was a little different from what he thought.

He felt that this was still too dangerous for Su Jing.

"King Yan, since His Majesty has given a clear plan, we can implement it."

Su Jing said that Lao Zhu's plan was to be honest, it was expected.

This case was not suitable for Zhu Di to get involved. It was actually quite good to separate it directly in Lishui County.

"But sir, if this is the case, wouldn't you be in danger again?"

Zhu Di said very worriedly.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Di and said with a smile: "King Yan, please relax, this is His Majesty's arrangement. My safety is definitely foolproof, don't worry."

At this time, the guard who was delivering the message said: "Your Majesty, King Yan, please rest assured. Your Majesty has already sent General Mu, the general of the country, to lead the troops. In half a day, he will come to Lishui County to escort Ren Yuanbo."

Lord Mu, the general who governs the country, is also Mu Ying!
"It turns out it's Brother Mu, so I'm relieved."

Zhu Di was completely relieved when he heard that Mu Ying was leading the troops to escort Su Jing.

As Lao Zhu's adopted son, Mu Ying and Zhu Di have a very good relationship.

Needless to say, Mu Ying's ability is now a co-president of the Governor's Office.

"I think I haven't seen him for a while, but I bumped into him this time."

When Su Jing heard that it was Mu Ying, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she felt quite happy.

After all, he is considered a friend of his.

Liu Banxian was dumbfounded. To escort Su Jing, he actually had to dispatch the general Mu Ying. Isn't this just entering the capital?

By raising troops and mobilizing people like this, I was really afraid that Su Jing would encounter the slightest danger again.

At this moment, Liu Banxian thought of what Su Jing had told him before to save his life, and he felt full of confidence.

With Su Jing's status, it might only take one word to save her.

"Sir, as for the relevant people, the student will send people to gather them here first. When Brother Mu arrives, we can set off directly."

After Zhu Di finished speaking to Su Jing, he turned around to make arrangements.

In terms of the number of people involved in this case, there are quite a few.

Since it was Zhu Yuanzhang who was interrogating him personally, he must have brought everything with him as long as it was somewhat relevant.

Although Zhu Di did not arrest everyone before, he still sent people to follow them to ensure the whereabouts of these people.

For Su Jing, he had half a day of free time before departure.

"Forget it, let's go to the yard and make bicycles."

Su Jing thought for a moment, and it was quite boring to just sit and wait.

Before this incident, he was making bicycles, and it is normal for him to continue making bicycles now.

In the small courtyard, Su Jing was playing with the wood as usual, holding a saw and ax.

Outside the small courtyard, people were being found one after another. These were all people who wanted to follow Su Jing to Beijing.

Because Liu Banxian was familiar with Zhu Di, he was able to hang out in the courtyard and watch Su Jing do carpentry.

"Master Su, you are too generous!"

Liu Banxian looked at Su Jing and sighed: "You are about to go to Beijing now, how can you still do this patiently here?"

Who is really calm and who is fake.

Liu Banxian has been telling fortunes for many years, and he can tell at a glance.

Su Jing is really not panicking at all now and is extremely calm.

While polishing the bearing part of the frame, Su Jing said: "I'm just entering the capital, nothing to make a fuss about. Your Majesty is not a man-eating monster, so there is no need to panic."

Liu Banxian immediately said: "Master Su, that's not what you said. As the saying goes, the power of the king is unpredictable, and I am always nervous when talking to His Majesty."

Su Jing raised her head and glanced at Liu Banxian and said: "Liu Banxian, are you lying to me? Didn't you say that you told the fortunes of many dignitaries back then? If you were in such a hurry every time, who would believe you? "

"I do not have!"

Liu Banxian retorted very quickly: "How can a noble person compare with His Majesty? It's not the same thing at all."

Su Jing smiled and just continued to do the work in hand.

Liu Banxian paused, and then said: "Master Su, if it is common for you to enter the palace to meet the saint, it will not affect you. But the assassination involving life has just been passed, why can you maintain such a state of mind? Woolen cloth?"

"Well, you Liu Banxian, co-writing was just the foreshadowing, now it's the main film, right?"

Su Jing looked up at Liu Banxian again and smiled.

Liu Banxian's face turned red and his heart stopped beating: "I'm just asking casually. It's okay if Mr. Su doesn't want to talk."

Su Jing lowered her head and picked up the carving knife, found the engraved line she had drawn, and started to operate: "There is nothing hard to say. In fact, the reason is very simple. The main reason why people panic is because something happens that they cannot control the outcome of. right?"

Liu Banxian listened carefully, thought for a while and nodded: "What Mr. Su said makes sense, it is true."

Then he was stunned, looked back at Su Jing and said, "Master Su, do you mean that everything that has happened so far is under your control? This is impossible!"

If Su Jing really had this ability, then the title of Liu Banxian, the half-immortal, would probably have to be given to Su Jing.

"I'm not a god, how can I do this!"

Su Jing said with a smile: "I just preset a worst result in my heart. As long as this result is not achieved, it is a good thing. Since it is a good thing, why panic?"

This……

Liu Banxian was a little speechless at this answer, but thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

"Master Su, do you really not believe in fortune telling?"

Liu Banxian changed his subject and returned to fortune telling.

Su Jing replied: "If you say that you have the ability to calculate people's surnames and place of origin, then I don't believe it."

Upon hearing this, Liu Banxian was immediately unhappy.

He knew that Su Jing had probably seen some of his skills: "Mr. Su, fortune telling itself includes the method of planning. This is fortune telling! You understand it, how can you still not believe it!"

Su Jing shook her head and smiled, and did not argue. She just continued: "If you can tell me how to deal with the bloody disaster and His Majesty's future, I might consider taking a letter."
