Chapter 570: Testing the Bronze Cannon
"Let's go and see the effect."
Fang Xing smiled and invited Zhu Zhanji to see the lethality of the cannon.
When he arrived at the target array, he saw the targets destroyed by iron bullets, and Zhu Zhanji was shocked: "Brother Dehua, if you are equipped with a large number of such weapons and cooperate with the musket array, then I am the Ming Dynasty..."
Fang Xing said reservedly: "The artillery has the greatest lethality to dense formations, whether it is a cavalry or an infantryman."
At this time, Ma Su asked, "Teacher, what if the enemy dispersed the formation?"
Fang Xing smiled and said, "That's even simpler. The loose formation cannot break the musket array."
Xu Fangda frowned and said, "Teacher, but the copper material is expensive!"
Copper is currency, and copper is the strategic resource of the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "I have discovered a large copper mine in Jiaozhi."
"This is really raining in time!"
Everyone felt that the discovery of this large copper mine was too timely, only Xie Jin and Huang Zhong, both of whom were silently watching Fang Xing fooling others.
"With artillery, then our Ming Dynasty will have the means to defeat the enemy at a long range. Whether it is attack or defense, artillery will dominate the battlefield and become the god of the battlefield."
Fang Xing looked at these excited faces and continued: "This is Fang Xue's practical case. By calculating the chamber pressure and bronze tolerance, as well as wear, the optimal charge is accurately obtained. This is Fang Xue!"
A feeling of pride spread among the students. Many of Zhu Fang’s views just now could be understood by everyone, which was unimaginable in the past.
Can the Four Books and Five Classics teach people to understand the properties of these matters?
cannot!
Can the article teach people to combine these substances into a war machine through a series of changes?
cannot!
So what exactly can Confucianism do?
The first time these students took the initiative to think about this issue, Xie Jin also smiled, only Huang Zhong, and he thought.
"Teacher, I understand."
What surprised Fang Xing was that the first person who realized it was Li Ermao.
"Teacher, my disciple believes that Confucianism can teach me the principles of being a person and doing things."
Li Ermao said with a bright look: "But I can't teach me how to resist foreign enemies, so my disciples think that the truth can only educate people's hearts, but to be strong, but only..."
"Ahem!"
Fang Xing saw that Zhu Zhanji had come from the final landing point of the iron bomb, so he interrupted Li Ermao's words with a dry cough.
"The truth can be learned and taught."
Fang Xing said: "It's just that what Fang Xue teaches is the principle of all things, and man is just one of all things!"
"good!"
Xie Jin applauded: "Dehua's words are so true. In it, we should not only learn our own principles, but also need to... How did we say that?"
“Explore the world!”
Ma Su reminded.
"Yes, yes!" Xie Jin said happily: "Dehua said about exploring the world, and this world includes the sky and stars above our heads. If I can know the mystery, I will have no regrets in this life!"
Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Jie will definitely have this day, and Dehua should give full help."
Zhu Zhanji also couldn't help but say: "Mr. Jie is willing to stay in poverty and cultivate talents for our Ming Dynasty. We should be blessed."
This is a promise!
Promise as the future crown prince!
Xie Jin's eyes turned red and he bowed, "Thank you for your kindness. I will transform into a peach and plum for my Ming Dynasty from now on, and die without regrets!"
Fang Xing called and said, "There is a double charge test below, so stay away from it."
This interruption puzzled Zhu Zhanji, but Fang Xing did not explain.
"The crown prince of a country must first think about it."
Fang Xing left this sentence and said to the students: "After trying this shot, everyone will go home today, it's time to have a holiday."
Why holidays?
Xie Jin was a little puzzled without mentioning the joy of the students.
But there was already loading the bullet there, so everyone stared at the muzzle...
"boom!"
The sound of this gun was louder than the previous one, and the recoil was not small, so the entire gun mount was more than two meters away.
