Chapter 258 The Weapon Modified by Song Yingxing
"Fan Kuai, where did such a loud noise come from?"

Ye Xiao looked at the place where the sound came from and asked.

"My lord, where is the reform meeting, did you forget?"

"Song Yingxing's reform meeting? Why did he make such a big commotion?"

If Fan Kui hadn't mentioned it, Ye Xiao would probably have forgotten that there was a reform society, and if he remembered correctly, when the reform society was founded, Ye Xiao asked them to focus on agricultural reform.

The sound of this explosion is so loud, so the power is not small.

Are there any explosive crops in the field?Ye Xiao frowned.

"Go and have a look."

Ye Xiao led Fan Kui towards the white room of the Reformation Council. Just as Ye Xiao was about to arrive, suddenly a man with a scruffy beard and shiny clothes came out.

His face seemed to be blackened by something, and behind him was an old man who walked over curiously when he saw someone coming towards the reform meeting.

"My lord, why do you have time to come here?"

Ye Xiao looked at the dark man in front of him, but couldn't recognize who he was. Ye Xiao rubbed his eyes, shook his head, and finally saw the man's appearance clearly.

"Song Yingxing? How did you become like this?"

Ye Xiao looked at the dirty Song Yingxing and asked.

When Fan Kui, who was behind Ye Xiao, saw that the person who came was Song Yingxing, he immediately relaxed his vigilance.

"Didn't the lord let our various institutions develop in many ways, so I want the reform society to develop in the direction of military industry."

When Ye Xiao heard Song Yingxing's words, he slapped his forehead and said, "You are a big iron who wants to engage in military industry and you are going to blurt it out. Ye Xiao held back and wanted to listen to Song Yingxing."

"what's the result?"

Ye Xiao looked at Song Yingxing and asked with a smile.

"My lord, we have developed a new type of weapon that is so powerful that it can cause an explosion to level a house."

When Ye Xiao heard this, he called out to the good guy, Song Yingxing must have researched the explosive kit, after all, gunpowder is forbidden to others, but the Reform Association can receive part of the gunpowder research every month.

"Then take me to have a look."

Ye Xiao said that he grabbed Song Yingxing's hand and walked towards the reform society.

"My lord, this is the laboratory of the Reform Society."

Song Yingxing pointed to a white house in front of him and said to Ye Xiao that the laboratory was built by Ye Xiao based on some memories of modern society. Although it is not as rigorous as modern society, it is aseptic and resistant to the minimum. It's okay to do some basic experiments.

Entering the laboratory, Song Yingxing picked up a bamboo tube from the work table and said to Ye Xiao.

"My lord, please see that we used a bamboo tube to do an experiment before. We put gunpowder into it, then put it into an iron pillar, ignited the gunpowder in it, and the iron ball will be shot directly, and its power can penetrate the iron armor."

My God, isn't this the prototype of a musket? Song Yingxing fell to the ground, what kind of monster, he actually figured out this thing.

"But how many shots can this bamboo shoot?"

Ye Xiao picked up the bamboo on the table and weighed it, looked at Song Yingxing and asked.

"Reply, my lord, if these bamboos can shoot three iron balls after being processed, then the bamboos will explode when exposed to high temperature, and may even injure people."

"Have you considered switching to iron?"

Ye Xiao looked at Song Yingxing and asked.

"My lord, we tried it, but found that the iron one couldn't make the shape of bamboo, and then we tried copper, but it didn't work, but we found that if we increase the diameter and thicken it, we can produce more powerful than the bamboo one. Big stuff."

"artillery?"

These two words stood out from Ye Xiao's mouth.

"Fire is the Qi of the Five Elements, and his launching method is like throwing a trebuchet. The name couldn't be better."

"Good name, thank you, Lord, for giving it a name. We were still troubled about naming this thing. The Lord's words awakened the dreamer. The cannon is so appropriate."

Ye Xiao didn't expect his words to wake up Song Yingxing.

"So have you tested other materials?"

Copper represents money in this era, and the copper leaf Xiao needed to make a cannon is relatively clear. Compared with the smelting technology of this era, it takes a lot of copper ore and time to extract the copper used to make a cannon. At this time, Ye Xiao thought of using stones instead.

"Returning to the Lord, we tried stone, iron, and silver. Among them, iron works best. Although the cannon made of stone is faster to manufacture, the chance of explosion is greatly increased."

"The explosion just now was caused by the artillery caused by the stone, and the refining of iron is more troublesome than copper, so I still recommend using copper instead."

Song Yingxing handed Ye Xiao an experiment report, and Ye Xiao fell into deep thought as he looked at the data marked on it.

With artillery, he will have a siege weapon, so whether he is facing Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, or even the coalition forces of the princes, he will no longer be afraid.

But now using copper, with the current smelting technology, it takes several months to manufacture a door, and if it is placed in the army, it will take at least five years.

This time was too long for Ye Xiao, so Ye Xiao wanted to try to make a reduced cannon, that is, a musket.

"Is it possible to shrink the cannon?"

"My lord, we have tried. It is possible to produce iron rods or copper rods earlier, but the method of drilling them out is very troublesome. Making a smaller version of the cannon is even more troublesome than making a large one."

Song Yingxing said and handed the things he made before to Ye Xiao, Ye Xiao took it and played with it in his hand, feeling that something was wrong.

"Is it possible to shorten the barrel and add a handle?"

Ye Xiao gestured, Song Yingxing heard Ye Xiao nodded and said.

"can."

"Well, since you can, you can make ten of them, shrink the barrel of this gun, and add a handle."

"Ok."

Song Yingxing agreed, then Ye Xiao looked at Song Yingxing and said.

"Not only that, you can also ask some craftsmen about the drilling technique. It is best to add threads to the inside of these iron pipes, so as to reduce his wear and tear."

The concept of grabbing the line does not exist yet, and Ye Xiao doesn't understand it, so he can only roughly describe it based on some memories from his previous life.

"Ying Xing, don't just focus on research and neglect your body, you see, I didn't recognize you when I saw you just now."

Ye Xiao looked at Song Yingxing and said helplessly, it was not the first time that Song Yingxing looked like this. Hearing what Ye Xiao said, Song Yingxing just smiled and didn't say much.

Ye Xiao knew that Song Yingxing probably didn't pay attention to what he said, but Ye Xiao decided to add some assistants and funds to Song Yingxing to facilitate his research.
