I do research in ancient times

The test of the cannon is a big event, especially when a new steelmaking method is adopted this time, the Feng family who received the news naturally couldn't miss it.

In fact, the fact that Twelve Lang was scared out of his body by the coastal defense artillery has already become a joke among several big brothers in the Feng family.While chatting and laughing, everyone was also very curious, what kind of thing is that coastal defense gun, which frightens a fearless child so much that he knows it? !

As soon as they heard that Mo Zong was going to test the cannon for the second time, Chief Protector Feng and his older brothers couldn't sit still, they all wanted to go to Jiuling City to see it with their own eyes.

But people can't all go, there are always one or two housekeepers left behind, no one wants to be taken advantage of.

"No, let Da Lang guard the nest."

Uncle Tang suggested.

"Da Lang is calm and reliable, and has a flexible mind. He is much better than us old guys. Let him sit in charge and let everyone feel at ease."

"You think I don't want to?"

Feng Dadu spat and looked depressed.

"That kid ran away yesterday. He didn't have a home all night. He probably went to the other side of Jiuling Lake early in the morning."

"Heh," Da Duhu sneered when he said this.

"There's a hook over there, and he's lost his soul, not even his elderly and sick father."

"What's the use of raising a son? The big white-eyed wolf doesn't know how to raise it, and the small wild dog disappears. Being a father is a business that loses money!"

old and sick...

Several middle-aged people glanced at the big guard with thick arms and loud voice.

lose money...?

The horizontal knife hanging around your waist was sent by someone, right?There are also cement, kang, saltworks and coastal defense guns...

Suddenly I can understand Dalang's mood.

This kind of grinning father is very annoying to watch every day, and he can still try to clean up after running away.

Sympathy is all sympathy, but still no one wants to miss such a good thing as a cannon test. The brothers quarreled for a while, and finally decided to draw lots.

Unlucky for Uncle Feng Liu.He was so angry that he tore off several beards, and kept scolding Feng Daduhu for playing tricks.

But it's useless to scold. It's a fait accompli, and a few winners will definitely not allow him to come back.

In short, coercion and lures were all about talking and talking, and finally Sixth Uncle Feng stayed in Ding'an City to sit in town, and the core figures of the seal, such as Da Duhu, Second Uncle Feng, and Uncle Feng Tang, quietly left the city in batches and headed towards Jiuling Lake.

It was the first time for everyone to go, and they specially found soldiers who were familiar with the location to lead the way, and rushed all the way to Jiuling City.

After entering the city, everyone was shocked by this city with a distinctive style.The neat and uniform concrete houses, the distinctive functional areas, and after seeing the iron-making blast furnace, the water hammer powered by river water, and the non-stop running weaving workshop, the eyes of several uncles gradually turned to awe.

"This... this, this is all done by that one?"

Uncle Feng Tang opened his eyes wide.

Ning Fei's identity is not a secret in the core of the family, especially the idea of ​​the eldest son Feng, which has passed the Feng family's path early in the morning.

However, in order to protect the existence of Ning Fei, all the uncles only called Mo Zongjuzi "that one" at home.

In everyone's minds, "that" Mozong lived only in the disrepaired Wubao at the foot of Niubei Mountain, not the city in front of him, which was more luxurious than Ding'an City.

"That" is not a craftsman who is obsessed with craftsmanship, this is clearly a talent for governing the world!

As the person in charge of food and grass for the frontier army, Second Uncle Feng's gaze was fixed on the blast furnace in the distance.

The water of the Wuzhi River pushed the water hammer to continuously crush the ore, and the hydraulic bellows swayed regularly. Uncle Feng heard the sound of machinery for the first time.

He turned his head and asked Feng Dahu.

"Brother, where did the Mo Dao we use come from?"

"hey-hey."

Chief Protector Feng was very proud, he nodded.

"Exactly! Our knives all come from Mo Zong's iron workshop!"

"Thanks to Ning boy's ingenuity, water is used to push the millstone, otherwise, how long would it take for the two and a half people of Mo Zong to make knives?!"

"Not only these, Ning boy knows a lot!"

"He and Da Lang are planning to build a salt farm. How big is the Yanlina?! After receiving the money, I will be able to build a big ship!"

Having said that, Feng Da Duhu slapped his hands.

"I've lived most of my life, but I've never seen someone as smart as Ning!"

"It's also a bastard with good eyesight and quick strikes. He hit the big baby in one fell swoop, hehehe, it's up to him!"

Feng Da didn't talk about being proud and proud, and didn't notice that the old brothers below all had sad expressions on their faces.

I don't know who it is, yesterday they scolded people with white eyes and hooks, but today they became discerning and big treasures again.

This kind of father has no stance at all, and he has no wind, so it's no wonder that Da Lang wants to run away.

Just as he was speaking, Brother Feng came up to him on his little red horse.Feng Da wanted to come to Jiuling Lake to watch the shore cannon experiment. Ning Fei got the news from Feng Kai early in the morning and specially arranged for Twelve Lang to lead the way.

When Twelve Lang saw his own father and several uncles, he was inevitably made fun of again about being scared by the cannon, and the young boy was so angry that his face flushed and he said angrily.

"Hmph, you guys are so brave, don't be cowardly at that moment!"

"Don't be cowardly, you are the one to be cowardly."

Uncle Feng Tang slapped Twelve Lang on the back of the head.

"Hurry up and lead the way, don't miss your uncle's important event!"

The second test was still in the wilderness.In order to evaluate the performance, Ning Fei built fifteen coastal defense guns in one go, lined up in the launch area, and the momentum was amazing.

When the Feng family arrived, Ning Fei was leading his small team to make the final adjustments.He saw Chief Protector Feng often, so he hurried over to say hello.

Feng Kai followed behind him, without even getting a look from his own father, watching Da Duhu pulling Ning Fei past with a smile on his face.

"It's a pain to go out this time. You have to make up for it. Dad... Uncle brought you three big carts of supplements. You're welcome. Just eat, our family will take care of it!"

As soon as he mentioned the tonic Ningfei, he thought of Aunt Niu's dark balls, laughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject.

The main target of the Feng family was naturally the coastal defense artillery.Fifteen cannons came out, and the eyes of Chief Protector Feng flashed green.

He leaned forward, reached out and touched one after another, liking it so much that he didn't know what to do.

"How can this thing be used?"

Feng Dadu asked Ning Feidao.

"First load the gunpowder, then put in the shells, and finally pull the traction rope to start the fire."

While talking, Ning Fei gave a simple demonstration, which made most of them feel anxious.

He expressed that he wanted to try it himself, but Ning Juzi declined on the grounds of safety, so he could only nestle in the safe area with his youngest son and watch from a distance.

"What are you holding?"

Feng Da Duhu turned his head and saw his youngest son sneaking around with a gadget. Seeing himself looking over, he hurriedly hid it in his arms.

Relying on years of vigilance, Da Duhu immediately discovered the doorway and stretched out his big palm to Shi Shilang.

"What is it? Show me?"

Twelve Lang was bitter in his heart, and secretly hated himself for being owed, knowing that Old Hei was squatting aside, how could he still take out the precious clairvoyant.

But now, he can only turn it over to his father, and the unwillingness in his heart still makes him struggle a bit.

"Father, this thousand-mile eye belongs to brother Fei, you can't swallow it."

Oh, it's clairvoyance.

Feng Da Duhu rubbed his hands together.

Da Lang has one of this thing in his hand, and no one can touch it except for the old Taoist Nanshan to see it once, even his own father is no exception.

He said that the boy Baiyanlang was also because of this, who doesn't know that there are good things to honor his father.At that time, he even asked for it directly, but that son of a bitch in his family just pretended to be a fool to pass the test, and he was so angry that he was an old man.

Hmph, unfilial son!White-eyed wolf!

"Boy Ning won't be so stingy!"

Snatching the clairvoyance from the younger son's hand, Da Duhu looked happily towards the cannon proving ground.

The field of vision is really extended a lot, and the gun barrel in the distance can be seen clearly!

Well, someone raised a small flag. It seemed that preparations were almost done. Many Mozong craftsmen were retreating, leaving only fifteen rope pullers not far away.

"Father, put cotton in your ears, it will be very loud after a while."

Seeing the commanding flag, Brother Feng began to distribute earplugs to all the uncles and brothers.

Uncle Fengtang sneered, and shook his head politely.

"Your cousin, I'm not a coward. I'm not afraid of making big noises. I don't need this thing."

Brother Feng was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to say more, but was rejected by several uncles one after another.

Now that this is all said and done, who wants to be a counselor?Naturally, they are all tough guys.

Brother Feng touched his nose and stuffed two large balls of cotton into his ears.

OK.

You are all tough guys, it's best not to be scared for a while.

In the middle of the field, Ning Fei checked all the coastal defense guns, so everyone was ready to start shooting.

Because this time it was a test firing of fifteen cannons at the same time, Ning Sawzi also specially lengthened the lead rope, in case someone was nervous and made a wrong operation.

The standard-bearer waved the flag and gave the order to shoot.

The next moment, all the cannons fired together, making a loud noise that shook the sky.

The power of one cannon, Xiao Feng, had experienced it before. This time, fifteen shore cannons were fired at once. Even though his ears were stuffed with cotton, he was still so shaken that his mind almost split.

Turning to look at the uncles, Brother Feng grinned.

The hillside where the safety zone is located was shaken up with layers of dust, and in the distance, gunpowder smoke rose into the sky, and rocks collapsed.

Those "tough guys" uncles couldn't stand upright, and they were so shocked that they sat on the ground.

It was just that the old man was better, holding a tree with a crooked neck to stabilize his position, but he still had a shocked expression on his face.

"This... is this the coastal defense artillery you are talking about?"

The clairvoyance of Feng Daduhu was shaken, and he patted his chest while muttering.

"This is too..."

Before he finished speaking, the second round of gun tests began again.There was another loud bang, although several people were prepared, their legs and feet were still weakened by the shock.

Next, the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round...

"stop fighting."

Uncle Feng Tang covered his ears in pain, feeling that his internal organs were churning.The rest of the old brothers were not much better than him, their expressions were like paper, and they no longer had the demeanor of a tough guy.

God, this thing is too terrible!The mountains were smashed and collapsed, how could a wooden boat be able to carry it? !

After each round of shooting, Ning Fei would carefully check the condition of the gun body, and only after confirming that there were no problems would the next round of experiments begin.

It was not until the tenth round that Ning Fei stopped the experiment.

Ten rounds should be the limit of the cannon.It might not be impossible to continue the fight, but the risk of bombing has already exceeded the threshold, and the gain outweighs the loss.

The Hongyi cannon in history was fired in ten bursts. The steel produced by the crucible steelmaking method can meet the strength requirements of the cannon body. Ning Fei is very satisfied!

"Okay."

Ning Juzi didn't notice that several distinguished guests in the safe area on the hillside in the distance had already been frightened.He nodded towards the people who were gradually gathering. The loud noise of the cannon made his ears ring a bit, and he had to increase the volume.

"The quality of the steel is very stable, and the workmanship of the gun body and shells is completely qualified."

"Tomorrow, according to this standard, let's start building shore artillery!"
