I'm a marquis in Datang

Tang Zhongsheng said, "Your Majesty, the formula for our gunpowder has leaked out?"

The rest of the craftsmen were also shocked.

Because this matter is very important.Everyone knows the importance of gunpowder to the Xia Kingdom. Now that the formula of gunpowder is released, it can be seen that Datang's strength will also improve, and the army will definitely be filled with gunpowder quickly.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Du Qi knew that the news hadn't come out for the time being. It should be Dan Yangzi who suppressed the matter. He nodded and said, "The Tang Dynasty has been working hard to get gunpowder. They got the news. It is also a matter of reason. So this point, but

There is no need to be surprised. "

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "But remember one thing, the production of this artillery, whether it is the shell or the barrel, must be kept secret. The core and most critical technology must not be leaked."

"I understand!"

Everyone answered in unison.

All of them are aware of the criticality of this weapon, and now

If the gunpowder flows out, then Datang's weapons will develop significantly.So under the current circumstances, Xia Guo must use artillery to suppress Datang.

This is the key.

Dan Yangzi changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, do you think there is any room for improvement regarding this cannon?"

In everyone's perception, Du Qi is very knowledgeable.

Simply omniscient.

Simply omnipotent.

Because everything was directed by Du Qi.

Tang Zhongsheng also said: "Your Majesty, you see that there is something inappropriate, just tell me, and we will correct it directly."

While talking, Tang Zhongsheng directly took out a small notebook, and held a charcoal pen in his hand, which was specially designed for him to take shorthand. After all, Tang Zhongsheng also had a lot of things he didn't understand at the moment. With this small notebook and charcoal A pen, he can write it down at any time, and then find someone to discuss it when he goes back.

The rest of the craftsmen followed suit.

All of them took out a pen and a small notebook from their clothes, and looked at Du Qi with reverence.

It seems that Du Qi is omnipotent and omniscient.

It seemed that Du Qi knew everything.

When Du Qi saw this battle, he waved his hands and said, "What do I know, these developments are all carried out by you. These productions are all good, you just need to improve them yourself."

Tang Zhongsheng said: "Your Majesty, where should we improve?"

Dan Yangzi also said: "Your Majesty, please guide me."

Du Qi's heart skipped a beat because of the knowledge-seeking eyes, he really didn't know!When it comes to artillery, mortars, howitzers, etc., Du Qi knows these terms, but Du Qi knows how to develop them!He just copied it, which is helpful for Tang Zhongsheng and Dan Yangzi to study. If he is really asked to do these things, he is a layman.

I don't understand anything.

Chapter 1060

Go south

Seeing the appearance of the crowd, Du Qi said: "The current mortar needs to be strengthened on the shells, which are not powerful enough. In addition, the gun bore must continue to be developed. Because of the improvement of the shells, the gun bore must keep up. Come on, That's about it, you can figure it out for yourself and study it carefully."

He spoke broadly.

Because in detail, he really didn't understand.

When Tang Zhongsheng, Dan Yangzi and others heard Du Qi's words, they all nodded in haste and agreed.Everyone thought Du Qi's point was correct.

And it looked like he was suddenly enlightened.

Du Qi was quite helpless.

Come on, you are the experts. Well, he only knows a little bit of theory, and he doesn't know anything else.

Du Qi directly changed the topic, and ordered: "The development of this artillery must be carried out. Notice that this artillery can be developed in large quantities. The army will be equipped with this weapon."

"Yes!"

Danyangzi and others all responded.

Immediately, Dan Yangzi said: "Your Majesty, now that this weapon has been developed, it is still a little inappropriate to simply call it a cannon. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to name it."

Du Qi said: "The name of this weapon, let's name it a mortar."

Dan Yangzi stroked the beard under his jaw, pondered for a while and said: "When the shell flew out, it had a huge force to hit the ground. It is indeed a mortar attack.

So the name mortar, really subtle.Your Majesty, Shengming! "

"Your Majesty, Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

...

Each craftsman spoke again.

They pondered over the name of the three-character mortar, and no matter how they pondered it, they all felt that the name was really a classic, and it was simply too vivid.this

They couldn't figure out what was left to them.

After Du Qi gave some instructions, he asked Dan Yangzi and the others to study carefully, and said, "Dan Yangzi, all researchers involved in mortars should be rewarded. Although it should be kept secret, all those who should be rewarded should be rewarded. Nothing less. You draw up a brochure and submit it, and I will issue it directly after reviewing it."

Dan Yangzi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

The development of the mortar is tantamount to having a strategic weapon for Xia Guo.With the mortar, then in the next battle, Xia Guo will still have the advantage.

This is one step ahead, one step ahead.

Du Qi got up and left the arsenal. He went straight back to the palace, and arranged for people to call all the cabinet members, as well as Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Ma Yuan and Zuo Xianfeng.

Du Qi looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, the latest news came from the arsenal. The weapons of our Xia Kingdom have new weapons again, and there have been innovations in new weapons. The artillery fire used to be thrown out by catapults , with the help of clay pots filled with gunpowder and exploded, forming the power of the attack."

After a pause, Du Qi continued: "But now, the arsenal has developed a new type of artillery called a mortar, which can shoot at [-] paces.

Anywhere in the city, except for other things, the power of the shells during bombing is more than ten times that of the previous clay pot artillery. A house painted with cement will collapse directly under a single shell. "

Whoa! !

When everyone heard it, they were all shocked.

There was a look of horror on each face.
