Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 373 A secret battle, the world is shocked
"Anbang, bring ten captains and follow me!"

After packing up the belongings obtained from the Zhang family, Liu Wei waited for everyone to change their clothes, and then took Wu Anbang and ten captains to the research institute.

It's just that when they reached the entrance of the research institute, the ten captains still couldn't go in. Only Wu Anbang followed Liu Wei's footsteps and entered the most mysterious place in Liujiazhuang.

Even Wu Anbang had never really entered the research institute before, let alone Liu Wei brought him here, the most core area in the research institute, the Firearms Research Institute.

In Wu Anbang's eyes, everything in the Firearms Research Institute is very new. Some things he probably knows what they are, but some things he doesn't know what they are useful for at all. His breath of fear.

Liu Wei was not in the mood, and he didn't have time to introduce those things to Wu Anbang. After the person in charge arrived after hearing the news, Liu Wei made his request directly.

Fifty firecrackers, a lot of ammunition, and rockets, which are what Liu Yi needs most right now, at least ten.

Hearing the quantity reported by Liu Wei, a thick wry smile appeared on the old person in charge's face.Although the research institute has recently accelerated the research speed due to the influx of a large amount of funds, but what Liu Wei wants is not mass-produced in the institute at all.

However, what made the person in charge even more troublesome was that Liu Wei was going to ask for it within ten days!

"My lord, is it too hasty? There are not enough raw materials."

"purchase!"

Without waiting for the person in charge to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand heavily, and said very simply: "How much money is needed, you just need to quote, how many manpower you need, just open your mouth, I only hope that after ten days, what I said There are as many things as there are!"

"My lord, is it really at any cost?"

"Regardless of the cost, you will arrange the time for everyone in the entire research institute. How much money you need to spend, go to Yuniang for reimbursement!" Liu Wei nodded without hesitation, just when the person in charge was about to turn around to do the calculation. However, Liu Wei stopped him:

"I'm here, so you can't let me go back empty-handed, right? I remember there are more than ten finished firecrackers now? Also, give me two new rockets. I need to let them Familiarize yourself first!"

When Liu Wei spoke, he pointed to Wu Anbang, and the "they" in his mouth naturally meant the ten captains he brought.

"There is no problem with ten, and there are also rockets, but they are going to the shooting range. Well, can you go first, my lord, I will arrange it right away, and I guarantee it will not be delayed!"

"it is good!"

Liu Wei didn't say any more, turned around and left with Wu Anbang, and went to find the ten captains.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Liu Wei, Wu Anbang and others stood on the firearms testing ground.For the captains of the dark team, the huge testing ground in front of them really shocked them.

It wasn't because the proving ground was so big that they were shocked. No matter how big the proving ground was, could it be bigger than the school ground that could accommodate tens of thousands of people to practice?What really shocked the ten captains was the destroyed things on the test field.

The city gates, city walls, houses used as experimental targets, even the hardest granite, some thick timber buildings, etc.

No matter what kind of target it is, it has been destroyed to such an extent that some people don't even know what it is if they don't look at it seriously!
As a soldier, these captains of course know how amazing the destructive power is needed to destroy these things to such an extent. What kind of new weapon caused the damage, and why did Liu Wei bring them here?

Soon, the doubts in the minds of the captains were answered.

The person in charge of the Firearms Research Institute led the workers and brought the firecrackers and rockets that Liu Wei needed.

Immediately following Liu Wei, according to the plan, let the person in charge train ten captains, let them learn how to use firecrackers and how to launch rockets.

It's a pity that today's rockets can only be placed on a triangular movable bracket, and this bracket is almost a one-time consumable. It can only support two rockets at most. This wooden bracket, because of Burned at high temperature, what Liu Wei needed, the cast steel bracket, has not been manufactured yet.

But for those captains, including Wu Anbang, the rocket fired for the first time, the power of the explosion completely frightened them into stupidity!

"My lord, if this kind of weapon is used to attack a city, no matter how tall the city is, it will be vulnerable to a single blow, right?"

Wu Anbang swallowed forcefully, looking at the buildings around the explosion point that had been destroyed again, he couldn't help feeling thirsty!

This thing called a rocket is really terrifying. Even the hardest granite will be torn apart under the impact of the explosion. If it falls into the army formation, what will the consequences be?It seems that there is no need to discuss this, the result is already doomed.

"City siege is of course easy to use, but the cost is too expensive, and mass production is still difficult to complete at present." Without Liu Wei's answer, the person in charge of the research institute has already answered Liu Wei's words with a smile.

Wu Anbang was rather unwilling to give up. He stretched out his hand to caress the remaining rocket, and asked, "What's the difficulty in making it?"

"The raw materials, whether it is the projectile body, the wings or the high-explosive gunpowder inside, are not ordinary things. I am afraid that we will consume all the accumulation we have accumulated over the years." Shake your head.He is a person who really loves to study these firearms, and his whole mind is almost devoted to researching these things. The lack of raw materials often makes him have many fresh ideas that cannot be realized and can only be shelved. It couldn't be solved, so he regretted it.

"My lord, aren't we not short of money now?"

Wu Anbang was quite puzzled. If the lack of raw materials in the past was due to the economic situation of Liujiazhuang, and every penny had to be split into two pieces to make money, then the copying of Zhang's now means that Liujiazhuang should not settle for money for the time being. Worry is.

"Anbang, it's not just about money! There are still many things in this world that can't be bought with money!"

Speaking of this, Liu Wei also smiled wryly, if it is true that everything can be bought with money, then it would be much easier.

Let’s just talk about it right now, if you want to mass-produce firearms, you need a real steelmaking boiler. Unfortunately, until now, the research institute can only use the original method of steelmaking. Not to mention the poor quality, the efficiency is underground, and the cost Artificial is even more shocking.

In order to maintain the steel needed for research, there are the most master blacksmiths in the entire Liujiazhuang Research Institute. These masters are responsible for making spare parts. Everyone is so busy that they are going crazy, but they still can't meet the demand.

If you want to expand the scale in the future, Liu Wei feels that ten times more master blacksmiths may not be enough. However, most of the master blacksmiths in the researcher are selected from the refugees back then, and a small part of them are There is enough blacksmithing skills in the first place, and the rest are newcomers cultivated in the past two years. This link, no matter how much money there is, may not be able to solve it.

"It's such a pity! If there are hundreds of rockets, what is a mere golden bullet worth?"

In Wu Anbang's voice, there was a strong disdain. In his opinion, the golden marbles were nothing more than that. They dared to attack Liu Wei because of the large number of people. When Wang Chongyang killed his father and enemy, he still didn't dare to act rashly.

"Okay, then you all have to practice firecrackers! After fifteen days, we will set off to face the golden marbles!"

Liu Wei left Wu Anbang and the ten captains in the testing ground of the Firearms Research Institute. Even for them, the only area where they could move without Liu Wei's permission was the testing ground.Of course, for those who are learning how to use the firecracker, once they taste the sweetness of the firecracker, they will probably be chased with sticks. They will not leave this proving ground until they have perfected their marksmanship.

In later generations, the only way for a person who has never touched a gun to practice supernatural marksmanship is to pile up a large number of bullets. However, what is surprising is that these captains brought by Liu Wei, regardless of whether they were in the past or not If you have used muskets, you can quickly grasp the elite of musket shooting. However, in just two days, after Liu Wei's inspection, he found that these guys' marksmanship has been greatly improved. If it is not because of musket itself Due to performance limitations, I am afraid that the marksmanship of these captains is no less than that of ordinary members of the team that Liu Wei's later generations served as.

You must know that even the most ordinary members of Liu Wei's army are selected from various military regions. The real elites are all veterans who have worked in the army for many years. They can achieve perfect marksmanship , It's not surprising at all, but these ancients could quickly reach this level of marksmanship, Liu Wei really found it hard to understand at first.

However, when Liu Wei noticed the steady arms of these soldiers when they held guns, he immediately understood why their marksmanship had advanced so quickly!

The fundamental problem lies in the person himself. Strong physique, resolute character, unyielding temperament and sensitivity to the flow of power are the reasons why these fighters who are accustomed to using cold weapons quickly mastered the firecracker.

The success of the ten captains gave Liu Wei hope again!
He is not afraid of the golden marbles coming to attack Bashu, if the golden marbles can rein in the precipice, that's all. If he really dares to come, Liu Wei will definitely try his best to make the golden marbles stay forever!

"I killed Zhang Liansheng so that the seven families would not dare to disagree. If I could defeat Jin Danzi in one battle and cut off Jin Danzi's head, how would the Southern Song court and the Kingdom of Jin think of me and Gao?" Jiazhuang?" Liu Wei had such thoughts in his heart, but subconsciously believed that as long as he could really do it, then Bashu might soon become a powerful force in this troubled world, and this is exactly what What Liu Yi needs!
