Chapter 427 The Birth of the Wooden Grenade
My head is a little dizzy, but I still do this kind of invention and creation by myself.Who told me to cheat?
Carefully screw the round wood on the hollow handle, Yu Lao and the others have developed a simple machine tool.Although it can't deal with iron objects yet, there is no problem with wood.Since we can only use wood, let's use wood.

After two battles between Bingzhou and Shuofang, Yunhao began to think about the main problem of firearms.First of all, the power is not too great, although it is already shocking in this era.However, it is far worse than the explosives of later generations. The fragments produced by the iron-clad grenade are not enough, and the lethality is also unsatisfactory.When cleaning the battlefield, Yunhao took a special look. Many Turkic people were killed by shock rather than bombing.Some of them are fucking scared to death.

In addition, the grenade is made into a spherical shape, and it is not too far to throw.Yun Hao remembered that in later generations, the militia trained ordinary guys to be able to throw wooden-handled grenades three to forty meters.But the current grenade can only meet this standard by a burly man.Yunhao has never seen anyone who can throw it five to sixty meters away.

Since there are so many shortcomings, it is definitely not something that I can tolerate.When the Yun family held a triumphal banquet, a group of old guys drank and wrote poems.Yun Hao really couldn't get used to these intellectuals bragging, pointing to the two mountain buns and expressing the most primitive obscenity.It made Yunhao really want to take them to Huichun Tower, to see the ups and downs of various mountains.

Helpless, Yun Hao could only discuss academic issues with Yu Lao, but was arrested by Yu Lao early the next morning.Start developing new grenades!

Hand grenade with wooden handle, easy to throw away and fire.You don't even need to carry a tinder, and it can be used as usual in rainy days.With so many advantages, there is no reason not to tinker with them.

In order to increase the explosive power, Yunhao specially added many small steel balls between the gunpowder and the wooden handle.Although this thing is only the size of a soybean grain, the effect of splashing a hundred steel balls is amazing.It's a bit troublesome to pull the fire tube, and the detonator can't be fiddled with yet.

Not to mention whether mercury fulminate can be tinkered with, lead azide alone will kill you.Datang's chemical industry is not primitive, but it doesn't exist at all.

Since the detonator could not be used, flintlock became the only hope.Carefully install the fire tube, and then put in a catty of gunpowder.Tighten the bolts, and hand the grenade weighing three catties to Xiong Kuo Hai.This kind of dangerous work still needs fierce people to do it.This guy is tall and strong, and he can definitely throw the grenade the farthest.

Although it is an experiment, everything is simulated according to actual combat.Xiong Kuohai unscrewed the back cover in a dignified manner, revealing the matchlock with the iron ring inside.With a desperate tug, the grenade began to smoke.

"Throw!" Yun Hao jumped into the bunker, and with a loud roar, Xiong Kuo Hai threw the grenade with a wooden handle in his hand.

This guy is also really good, and I didn't see him running hard.He threw a three-pound grenade a full fifty steps away, and a burst of gunpowder smoke filled the air with a "boom". Yun Hao poked his head out to look at the armor on the wooden stake in the distance, standing still in the smoke.

"Is it because the charge is too little? It doesn't look very powerful." Yu Lao also poked his head out, feeling a little discouraged when he saw the undamaged armor.

"Too much powder will be more powerful, but the weight is too heavy. Ordinary soldiers can't throw it very far. On the battlefield, distance is life. The distance of thirty or fifty paces, for those Turkic cavalry, is nothing. It happened in an instant. Besides, the farther one needs to rely on the trebuchet. It’s no problem to throw twenty or thirty catties of that thing, and the power should be better than this.” Yun Hao said, while getting out of the bunker made of sacks with Yu Lao .

At first, I was skeptical, trying to find something wrong.But when they got to the armor, everyone's eyes widened.

The dark pure steel armor is far more powerful than any armor of the Turkic people.But now, this pair of armor is covered with densely packed small holes.There are even one or two pieces of sawdust missing in some of the holes.When can wood penetrate steel!If it was on the battlefield, the people inside this pair of armor must have died terribly.Even if it doesn't die, it must be very painful.

Old Yu inspected the armor carefully, the wooden frame inside was full of steel balls.After checking the depth of the steel ball, Yu Lao shook his head. "At least half a catty must be added to the charge. It is better to be heavier to ensure sufficient power. This kind of strength can only hurt the flesh but not the bones. With the strength of the Turkic people, it is difficult to guarantee that some guys can endure great pain. Keep fighting. Be sure to break their bones so they can't keep fighting."

"Then add half a catty. One and a half catties is already the limit. No matter how heavy it is, the soldiers can't throw it far enough. The distance of fifty or sixty steps is enough for them to throw two rounds of grenades. In this way, the grenade can be thrown to the greatest extent If it is too heavy to kill the enemy, it will be too powerful, but it is a pity that you can only throw one round. Calculated, the number of enemies killed is actually less.” After all, Yun Hao agreed with Yu Lao’s request, but stuck to the bottom line. .

War affects everyone in its own way, and everyone who goes to war suffers from a unique mental illness.For many, life has become two parts war and preparing for war.

Yunhao doesn't like war, he doesn't like killing.But the reality forced him to kill. If you don't kill others, they will kill you.The Han people occupy the fertile plains. With hard work, the farming people can always find food in the land that can feed themselves.

God seems to be jealous of this race. No matter what natural conditions they encounter, they can use their ingenuity to defeat those natural forces.When the gods were powerless to stop this nation, they chose to put a wolf beside this nation.

Dog Rong, Xiongnu, Jie, Qiang, Xianbei... These wolves bit the kind-hearted Han people again and again.Huge scars have been left on the body of this nation time and time again.Millions of Han Chinese died tragically under the knife, killing men and looting food.Old people and children starved to death in the wilderness, and they plundered women.In the morning it is adultery, in the daytime it is food.The turbulent tide of corpses blocked the Yellow River.

Wuhu Luanhua's wound was too deep on the Han nationality, and a hero named Ran Min stood up.A killing order was issued, and the heads of millions of Hu people fell to the ground.The hatred formed by blood and tears can only be repaid by blood and tears.

Yun Hao didn't want to be Ran Min, but he didn't want to see the Turkic wolf leave scars on Datang's body again.Their performance in Hebei is enough to prove their barbarism and bloodthirsty.As for the Turkic people, Yunhao thinks that no punishment is too much for them.

The hatred of millions of people finally turned into a single word.That is "kill"!
Equip the warriors with the most advanced weapons and give them the most adequate supplies.Let them go deep into the desert grassland and kill all humans they can see.Whether it is Turkic or other ethnic groups.It doesn't matter if it's a man, a woman, the elderly, or a child!
All the crimes they committed in Hebei must be repeated on the grassland.Blood for blood, tooth for tooth is not the best way, but it is the most effective way.Heads like mountains, blood like sea water.It can make those hungry wolves on the grassland fearful, and the Han people are just too modest.Iron and blood have always been the best weapons if you want to stand firm in the forest of nations.

The wooden grenade was extremely successful, and at the same time greatly reduced the cost.If you want to equip the army on a large scale, cost is an important consideration.Cost-prohibitive equipment and large quantities of equipment to the army will bring another disaster.

Next, we tested the shells thrown by the trebuchet, because the trebuchet has a strong throwing ability.Thirty kilograms of things can be thrown for seven or eight hundred steps, so the shells of the trebuchet are all iron shells.The fuse is also ignited by pulling the fire tube under the iron cover.To ensure the greatest extent, this weapon can still be used effectively in rainy and snowy weather.

The explosive power of thirty catties of gunpowder is far beyond that of hand grenades.Yun Hao and Yu Lao were in the binoculars, and they clearly saw a row of wooden men as targets rising into the sky.The iron armor worn on the wooden man was scattered like pieces of paper.A piece of shrapnel even flew out a hundred meters with a whistling sound, and embedded in the trunk with white smoke.

"We tried our best this year, but we only produced more than [-] catties of gunpowder. These gunpowder may be used in a battle, and may kill and injure a large number of Turkic people. But if it is distributed to soldiers in the entire northern Xinjiang, it may not be enough." Yun Yun Hao sighed, after all, the production of gunpowder was still too low.

The current border of the Tang Dynasty is from Gansu in later generations to Liaodong.It is unrealistic for the soldiers to equip all the soldiers with firearms for the border defense line that is almost tens of thousands of miles away.

"[-] jin is already trying our best. The purification of sulfur has been tried many times, but there is no good way. We can only meet the supply by continuously increasing the production scale. It is a pity that we cannot find high-quality sulfur ore. Otherwise, we can save a lot time."

Looking at the helpless Yu Lao, Yun Hao really wanted to say that there is a place called Iwo Jima in the sea outside Japan.High-quality sulfur is produced there, but it is a pity that there is no way to get it back with the current navigation technology.Even if you barely get it back, the cost will be frighteningly high.

Typically, volcanoes are surrounded by high-quality sulfur deposits.It's a pity that Yunhao racked his brains and thought about it, and every time he thought about where there are volcanoes in the current Tang Dynasty.The famous volcano Tianchi, one is in Xinjiang and the other is in the northeast.Now, it all falls into the category of barren land.

"Many things have accumulated from quantitative changes to qualitative changes. As long as we expand production, we will naturally find a way to find a way after a long time. This kind of thing can't be rushed. If you are impatient, accidents are easy to happen. The things we manufacture are all destroyed. The power to destroy the earth. One thousand catties of gunpowder will blow up, and Lishan will tremble three times."

"Speaking of this kind of thing, you kid, to do this job is to hang your head on the waistband of your trousers. We dare not use any of those prisoners of war. We are afraid that they will be a little extreme, and we will all be finished if we secretly make trouble."

Walking while talking, the day's experiment is over.Both of them were very excited, and Yunhao happily invited Yu Lao to come home for a drink.In a good mood, Mr. Yu readily agreed, and the two walked out of the academy side by side as the sun set.Followed by a large group of strong men with fierce faces!
Lintong became more and more prosperous, and the hard stone road was covered with gravel.Then pour asphalt on it, and there is a lot of asphalt left over from boiling kerosene, which is just used for road construction in Lintong.On both sides of the road are curbs made of bluestone, and walking on the dark road will no longer poke your feet like bluestone.The horse-drawn carriage will not be as bumpy as before.

Some people even said in private that riding a carriage in Chang'an is suffering, but riding a carriage in Lintong is enjoyment.The official censor carefully verified whether it was the rebellious guy who said this, and whether he was advocating the rebellion of Lintong Hou.Finally found the culprit, but they didn't have the guts to go to Tai Chi Palace to impeach Li Yuan for talking nonsense.

On both sides of the road are rows of small three-story buildings, all of which are various stores.In the most remote corner, there are many stores with red lanterns hanging.When single men pass by, there will be old procuresses with heavy makeup to pull them.Some guys push it halfway, some guys take advantage of the old bustard first, the real red light district.

Lintong has never banned the sex industry, and Yunhao knows that it is impossible to ban this oldest business.The police of the later generations are cracking down on pornography and illegal activities every three days, but bathing centers and pedicure cities are still closed all over the world.

Blocking is worse than combing. In the Lintong sex industry, heavy taxes are payable.The madam and those women who have lost their feet are ordinary taxpayers and are protected by law.Elsewhere, it is common for clients to beat prostitutes.But in Lintong, this kind of thing needs to be sued.According to Yunhao, if I collect your taxes, I can't let people kick your ass.Unless you like it!

Opening a brothel in Chang'an City would not work without the support of the underworld.Which brothel doesn't have a few rough thugs.In fact, the exploitation of prostitutes is heavier than the tax in Yunhao's hands.

There is no such exploitation in Lintong, and there are no unfair industry competitions with half-closed prostitutes.Apart from collecting taxes, the servants of the government dare not accept other benefits at all, and they don't even have the most basic hands and feet.You know, there are bonuses for working in Lintong.Once the money is collected and found out, even if the relationship can be transferred to other places, this objective unplanned income will be gone.

With so many convenient conditions, the sex industry in Lintong has developed rapidly.In just half a year since Yunhao set out on the expedition, brothels have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.In an extreme time, a large number of outstanding practitioners and loyal consumer groups emerged.

Even the dudes in Chang'an City don't go whoring in Chang'an City now.Specially drove a carriage, and came to Lintong to enjoy the hot spring water skiing, revealing the beauty's fragrant cream.

Numerous brothels even united to formulate an industry service standard system called ISO90.This programmatic document with strong guiding principles has become a compulsory course for newcomers.

Yun Hao and Yu Lao were walking when suddenly there was a loud commotion in front of them.Some people dare to make trouble in Lintong.
