Chapter 28 Shenwei Cannon

A month later, the gongs and drums in the military port were very lively, because today, the first warship of Si State was completed and was about to go into the sea. The warship slowly rowed into the sea along the track, and waves swayed.

The deck of the warship was as big as a football field. The sides of the hull were filled with cannons, and there were twenty gates on each side. Qian Xiaoxing and everyone boarded the ship and began their first trial voyage.

Lansha was very excited at the bow of the ship and commanded the sailors in an orderly manner. Because the entire ship was also personally involved in the construction of the entire ship, he knew the functions of this warship well. It is precisely because of this that he was very excited.

Seeing the warship bows were equipped with sharp armor and the hull was missing a name, Lan Lin couldn't help but ask: "Xingxing, does this warship have a name?"

Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while and said, "Aren't you going to take revenge? Then it's called the Blue Ring Snake Revenge. What do you think?"

"The meaning is really concise and clear, but adding my nickname is a bit selfish, I think it's called Revenge!" Lan Lin replied.

As the sails rose, the Revenge gradually left the harbor. Today, there is another mission to live-fire exercise. A target ship has been stopped at a hundred meters away from the warship.

The warship arrived at the attack position, and the cannon on the right side of the ship had already pointed at the target ship. Qian Xiaoxing asked: "Lansha, what have you trained for the 10,000 navy I gave you? Can you hit the target?"

Lansha looked at the location of the target ship and said confidently: "Just this distance, I can guarantee that I can hit it."

"Okay," Qian Xiaoxing picked up the telescope and said, "Then let's start!"

After hearing this, Lan Sha issued an order: "Everyone on the starboard side, fire at the target!"

As soon as the order was issued, a row of cannons exploded and burst into pieces. After a burst of smoke, the water column of the target ship was soaring into the sky. Half of the shells hit the target ship, smashing the target ship to pieces, leaving only some wooden pieces floating on the sea.

Qian Xiaoxing was quite satisfied after reading it. The ancient cannon accurate heads could not be compared with modern ones. He could only use the number to find the hit rate. Qian Xiaoxing said: "Yes, although half of them were not hit this time, I think Lin's warships will be much larger than this target ship. It is still easier to hit it."

"Yes, it's only satisfying to fight those big ships!" After training for so long, the live ammunition exercises performed well today. Lan Sha said happily: "In the past, I could only fight close together. Now with cannons, I can fight far away. Our ship also has steam engine propellers, and it moves fast. At that time, just keep a wide distance and fight with Lin Jun, and I can guarantee that I can win."

"Well, it seems that Lin Jun's warship can only become our target, haha!" Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.

On the way back, Lansha asked the sailors to lower the sails and turned on the steam engine to advance the propeller. The warship was also very fast. After testing the sailing, it returned to the harbor.

The news of Si State building warships also reached King Lin's ears. King Lin made a lot of money to build warships this time. He originally planned to seize control of the sea, and then transported the troops continuously to launch an attack from behind Si State. This plan was very good, but Si State also began to build warships, so he would compete with Si State with the strength of the navy.

King Lin ordered the construction of warships to speed up the construction of warships, shortening the original half-year period to four months. He hoped that when Si State had not built warships well, Lin's navy could land in Si State.

Qian Xiaoxing naturally knew the importance of time. The completion of warships one by one can be completed. At this progress, all of them can be built in two months.

Qian Xiaoxing named the cannons Shenwei cannons. A warship requires forty, and fifty cannons are two thousand. Naturally, these cannons will not only be used on warships. They also set up artillery regiments in the troops of the independent division, equipped with one thousand cannons. Now the artillery has been trained quickly, familiar with the habits of cannons, and improve their hit rate.

The cannons developed by Qian Xiaoxing are divided into explosive bombs and shot bombs. The bombs will explode after being fired and landed. The method is not difficult. Just make the shells into a bomb and use gunpowder to ignite the bomb's fuse when firing.

Scope bombs are close-range weapons. They add a lot of iron beads to the barrel and shoot them out with gunpowder. They have a very large killing surface.

Use bombs at a distance and shotguns at a close range, and the killing surface is very broad. In the future wars, Qian Xiaoxing also planned to focus on cannons and coordinate and cooperate with other armies. The appearance of cannons in this era of bronze ware is undoubtedly a weapon against the will.

No wonder Sima Yiqing was deeply moved when he saw the scene after the cannon shooting, and said to Sima Chuchu: "With such a magical weapon, what kind of army can't defeat? No matter how powerful the strategy is, it can't resist the divine power cannon."

Sima Chuchu said, "Father, fortunately, we are from Si State now. Otherwise, if such a cannon would be beaten to the point of being beaten, I would be so angry that I vomited blood."

"We are waiting for talents to come out. Now it is no longer my era, and the future belongs to Qian Xiaoxing." Sima Yiqing sighed.

Sima Chuchu smiled and said, "Father, you want to take off your armor and return to your fields, but it won't work now."

Sima Yiqing smiled and said, "Haha, the old saying is right. The married daughter and the splashed water. Now you will help Qian Xiaoxing. Don't worry, I will devote my old bones to my death."

"If Si State can unify China, his father's name will remain in history forever." Sima Chuchu said.

"Yes, unify China!" Sima Yiqing also wanted to unify. When he was in Hu, he did his best to break the deadlock of the Three Kingdoms. Now, although the Three Kingdoms are still there, the form has changed greatly. Seeing the divine cannon made by Qian Xiaoxing, the future of unification is even brighter. Sima Yiqing said: "According to historical records, China was unified for four hundred years, but no one has unified again in the past four hundred years. I hope I can see it in my lifetime."

Sima Chuchu said, "Father, you will definitely see it..."

As the two were talking, Qian Xiaoxing walked in from outside, and as soon as he came in, he sat in the seat and said, "I'm so tired."

Sima Chuchu quickly brought the tea and asked, "Brother Xing, what are you busy with recently?"

Qian Xiaoxing finished drinking the water and said, "Building cannons, the navy and the army, requires a total of three thousand cannons. The steel cannot keep up. I mobilized them everywhere, and now it's almost done."

Sima Yiqing thought for a while and asked, "Son-in-law, if the cannon is built, can we attack?"

"My father-in-law really wants to fight, so do I. If I use this cannon to hit the enemy, it will be so cool. Three thousand cannons will be completed in one month. By then, fifty warships can also be launched." Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but feel excited. After busying during this period, he finally achieved results.

One month later, Sima Yiqing said excitedly: "Son-in-law, how many cannons do you equip the army with?"

"A thousand doors are enough?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

"One Thousand Gate!" Sima Yiqing imagined the shocking scene of thousands of cannons firing at the same time, and grabbed Qian Xiaoxing's hand and said, "Son-in-law, this artillery must be under my control, so I can enjoy it."
