At the end of September, the corn in the Lake District had just matured, bending the green stalks. There was the smell of grains in the wind, and flocks of birds came to smell it.

The peasants in the village were mobilized to sleep in the fields day and night, slaughtering the birds and beasts that were stealing the corn. This hard work will last for more than ten days, until the corn is fully ripe, and the farmers will not go to the fields to harvest.

In this era, corn is always harvested late in order to maximize yields. Fresh and tender corn is a luxury for the nobles. Most of the corn eaten by the common people is old, yellow and hard, and one bite can knock off their teeth. From an agricultural point of view, this is to give full play to the post-ripening effect of crops. Always wait until the leaves turn yellow, the bracts turn white, and the stalks are completely dead, so that you can collect an extra bucket or two.

On this day, in the southeast of the capital, the warriors of the brigade were wearing armor and holding bows, carrying strange golden-brown bronze beasts, and passed through the fields. The peasants along the way knelt on their knees in awe, not daring to look at the warriors. The villagers in Gyeonggi always have a few more insights. Today's battle, even if there is no banner, must be the top noble, even the supreme king!

Soon, the samurai disappeared behind a hill to the southeast. The peasants whispered a few words and continued to guard the farmland of the village. Waiting for the sun to rise into the sky, a cry of a giant beast suddenly sounded from the hills in the southeast, and then two more!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The voice was as splendid as thunder, but it was deep with a metallic trembling. Then, the big tree snapped. The villagers crawled on the ground in horror, facing the southeast direction, praying devoutly to the Lord God.

"Blessed by the Lord!..."

"The Lord God bless!"

Seeing the result of the shooting, the king's expression was very excited. He roared excitedly, like a roaring jaguar. Behind him, Bertard opened his mouth in shock, a rare long absence.

"Your Majesty, this is the gift of the Lord God! An invincible artifact! The Sun Eagle Cannon!"

Tilippi, the head of the Bronze Bureau, was excited, and his face was full of uncontrollable joy. He walked out from behind the artisan who handled the gun, stroking the golden-brown copper beast that was still smoking. The surface of the copper beast flashed with golden light, and the tentacles were scorching hot, just like his fiery chest.

"The gun weighs 500 jin, the bullet weighs about 2 jin, the caliber is 8 centimeters, the length of the cannon is 1 meter 2, the range that can be aimed at is 500 meters, and the maximum range is 2-3 miles!! Within 2 miles, there is no place in the world where the stone bullets fall. Warriors can resist! Blocking will kill you, like a big tree in front of you!!"

After he finished speaking, he pointed forward. The shot just fired flew over 1 mile and hit a big tree on the hill, directly smashing the tree into two pieces! And he has tried, even the strongest bronze heavy armor, in front of this condor cannon, is as weak as newly made hemp paper!

"2-pounder eagle gun, 2-pounder eagle gun, I finally made a real epoch-making weapon! A real bronze gun!!"

The king's excitement could never be calmed down. Because only he can truly know the significance of this bronze cannon to American civilization!

"This is the weapon in my hands that can really break the colonizer's plate armor! In front of it, even hordes of plate armored infantry have lost their irresistible aura and become cumbersome and fragile! This is the only thing that can threaten the colonization. A weapon for a sailor! Even if it's only 2 pounds! With it, I have the truth and justice against Westerners! It's going to get stronger!  …”

Chalape, the deputy director of the Military Industry Department, widened his eyes and watched the supreme king carefully. This is the first time he has seen the king so gaffe.

"Haha, Sun Eagle Cannon, a real bronze cannon!"

Two steps away, Tilippi also laughed, like a child who made a favorite toy, shaking his body happily. All this is really not easy!

Since September of the previous year, he started making cannons, and he has encountered hundreds of failures in a row, and he has built more than 100 light clay molds! Seeing that the six-month period requested by His Majesty is about to expire, he has been under enormous pressure, and even thought about killing himself. Fortunately, His Majesty led the army to march north, leaving him enough time to continue exploring slowly.

For a long time, he ate and lodged in the workshop, forcing the craftsmen and apprentices to work overtime day and night. Everyone overcame countless difficulties and suffered countless hardships, and it was only in June last year that the first qualified Sun Eagle Cannon was built! The weight of the Condor gun continued to increase, from 250 jin to 500 jin, and the inner diameter increased from 6 cm to 8 cm. Just casting the 1-pounder gun into a 2-pounder gun eliminated all the air leakage of the gun barrel, even if Put it in the water, and there are no bubbles at all.

After the first condor cannon was built, everyone immediately sent a letter to the north to report the belated good news. Then, based on this successful experience, the craftsmanship of the clay mold and the gun casting was adjusted. Bronze guns were cast and melted, melted and cast, and it was not until August of this year that 10 usable condor guns were cast from more than 200 mud molds in the front and back!

His Majesty once said, "If you can cast a cannon from a clay mold, if you can cast two or three out of ten, you will be called a national master!"

Thinking of this sentence, Tilipi almost wanted to "bah" His Majesty's face. Obviously, if you can get one out of ten, you are a rare god-bless craftsman! He generously promised his craftsmen and apprentices, "As long as you can cast a qualified eagle gun from ten clay molds, no matter what your original status, you will be directly promoted to a first-level priest of divine enlightenment!"

In two full years, he only promoted 8 people and cast 10 cannons! Yes, out of 10 cannons, he made 2 of them himself.

Chalape looked at His Majesty, who was talking to himself excitedly, and at his younger brother, who had been giggling all the time. He didn't know what to say for a while. He approached Bertard cautiously and asked softly.

"Respected paladin knight, should we call your majesty..."

"Shh!"

Bertard reached out and stopped, shaking his head slightly. There was a pure smile on his face.

"Just let Your Majesty be happy for a while."

"Yes, you are right!"

The two of them were like this, waiting quietly in the test firing range. In the artillery field are 3 condor cannons, 3 tiger squat cannons, and more than 30 artisans who operate the artillery. Outside the artillery field, there are a full 500 warriors guarding the surroundings. Further afield, there are samurai squads on patrol, driving away merchants or villagers who try to get close.

After a long time, Shirot finally calmed down. He stepped out from behind the protective mud wall, stepped forward in person, and touched the 2-pounder eagle gun. The inner and outer surfaces of the Eagle Cannon were polished smooth, glowing with a bronze-golden light. He scrutinized it carefully before asking seriously.

"Tilippi, have you estimated the lifespan of this Condor Cannon?"

"life?"

"How many rounds can the barrel shoot?"

Tilippi blinked, thought for a while, and smiled.

"Your Majesty, we have tested hundreds of rounds. The barrel of this Condor cannon is not damaged, and it seems to be more stable. It is estimated that more than 1,000 rounds are fired, and there is no problem!"

"More than a thousand rounds?"

Shiloh thought for a while and nodded. The gun in front of me is only 2 pounds, the charge is only 2 pounds, and the barrel length is only 1.2 meters. The chamber pressure of the gun is not high, the barrel is extremely thick, the bronze quality is very good, and the smoothbore gun does not need to consider the wear of the rifling... It is really no problem to shoot more than 1,000 rounds.

Although the poundage of the current bronze artillery is still small, it has formed a comprehensive crushing advantage for the wooden artillery used by the alliance. The range, accuracy and service life of bronze cannons are much higher than those of wooden cannons. The air-tightness of wooden guns is low, the kinetic energy is attenuated greatly, the lifespan is usually only a few dozen rounds, and the distance is less than 100 meters. It is a simple temporary firearm. In general, the two are not products of the same era at all.

"Tilippi, what is the current success rate of casting a cannon? How long does it take to cast a qualified condor cannon?"

"Your Majesty, the current success rate of casting guns... is about one-tenth. But the craftsmen are making rapid progress."

Although Tilippi complained about His Majesty, he did not dare to show it. At this moment, he bowed his head slightly, his expression respectful.

"As long as there is enough copper material, we can start dozens of clay molds at the same time... On average, we can produce 1 Condor Cannon a month?... Ah, no, if you work overtime, 2 will be no problem!"

Seeing His Majesty's brow furrowed, Tilipi quickly added.

Shilot pondered deeply and nodded slowly.

"1 in 10 success rate...2 doors per month..."

In the early days of a technological leap, the success rate of manufacturing is always low. After all, this is the entire Central American civilization, the first successful attempt to cast a cannon! As long as zero breakthroughs are formed, technical experience will continue to accumulate, and the manufacturing success rate will steadily increase.

"Tilippi, you said just now that the condor gun weighs 500 pounds?"

"...Yes, Your Majesty."

"Can you make it lighter? A 500-pound gun is too difficult to carry with the army, and there may be problems over mountains and mountains."

Shirot frowned slightly. Now that there is no reliable camel beast, you can't let the alpaca carry the gun, right?

"Your Majesty, the Bronze Workshop can try to reduce the weight of the gun. But we must first ensure that the barrel will not leak..."

Tilippi looked embarrassed and replied cautiously.

Hearing this, Shulot understood. The kingdom's technology and craftsmanship cannot reach the level, and it can only develop in the direction of stupidity and blackness. This is the way of future generations. If you don't consider the movement and cost, the Condor cannon can be doubled and made four thousand pounds, and the 10-pound semi-long barrel cannon can also be produced.

In this era, the "terrible" 18-pound long barrel gun (culverin) and 10-pound half long barrel gun (Demi-culverin) have appeared in Europe, and iron bullets have replaced stone bullets, which are used in the fierce battle for fortresses.

The standard 18-pound long-barreled gun weighs 4,500 jin, has a caliber of 13-14 cm, and a gun length of 3.5 meters. Of course, the effective aiming distance is only about 3 miles. The common 10-pound semi-long barrel gun weighs 3,000 pounds, has a caliber of 10-11 cm, a gun length of 2.6 meters, a limit range of 9 miles, and an effective range of 1.5 miles. These are the most advanced artillery level in Europe at present~www.readwn.com~ and continue to make rapid progress.

However, for Central America with poor terrain, there is no need to worry about these European "heavy artillery". Difficult rainforests and complex mountains will make all heavy artillery pieces of scrap metal that cannot be moved.

At the very beginning of casting the cannon, Shulot had a clear idea. The future artillery of the Empire must be dominated by light infantry artillery. Thinking of this, he looked to the side of the Condor Cannon again. There were three short and lightweight tiger squat cannons with a length of 0.4 meters, a caliber of 4 centimeters, and a weight of 100 kilograms. The body of the tiger squat gun is fastened with copper hoops and equipped with fixed copper claws. The casting difficulty of this kind of gun is much easier than that of long-barreled guns, and it is also easier to carry.

"Tilippi, how powerful is this tiger squat gun?"

The king asked with a smile.

A confident smile appeared on Tilippi's face. He stretched out his hand and pointed to the earth wall behind him.

"Blessed by the Lord! Your Majesty, please retreat behind the earth wall. I will let the gunners test the Rain God Tiger squatting gun!"

"Good! The Lord God bless!"

The long wind blows, bringing the smell of gunpowder in the air. The king sniffed twice and showed a sincere smile. This breath is so intoxicating, full of the power of light and justice.
