The First Tyrant of Daxia

After entering the city, the group reminisced about the past and went straight to the Protectorate.

This area is very large and was once the back garden of Wang Min when he proclaimed himself emperor. It is vast enough for grazing and martial arts performances.

But now it has been transformed into a shooting range with extremely strict defenses, and the manufactured ammunition, gun bodies and other parts are placed here.

As for the original gunpowder base, it is still in use, but it is only responsible for the research and development of gunpowder.

"Your Majesty, the gunpowder has been almost successfully made into artillery shells, but there are occasional duds, but most of them still work."

"The biggest problem now is the range. The farthest we've tried is only two hundred meters..."

"Sometimes it will explode inside the gun body and injure our own people." Jinzhu said embarrassedly.

It is powerful, but it cannot be fired far. Within 200 meters, the enemy can just charge with hand-to-hand weapons and sacrifice some people to take down the red cannon.

Everyone was also dejected and felt quite guilty.

Qin Yun frowned. In his memory, in another history, the earliest range of the Red Cannon was more than 500 meters. With a little more refinement of the craftsmanship, it could reach more than 2,000 meters, about two miles!

At the very least, a few hundred meters should be enough, right?

"Did you fail to follow my drawings and make them strictly?"

Old Feng frowned, his face full of worry: "Your Majesty, no, I am personally responsible for this matter. I have personally checked every part and there is absolutely no mistake."

Qin Yun's face was solemn. He stepped forward and everyone made way for him.

The parts of the red cannon were disassembled and placed densely on the table. He picked them up one by one and checked them, from the barrel, the gun carriage, the internal firing pin, etc.

He checked them one by one, and everyone held their breath and looked at Qin Yun hopefully, hoping that he could find the problem.

After an inspection, Qin Yun let out a light exclamation, his eyes flickered, and he picked up a part casually, touched it hard, and found that it was uneven and very rough.

He immediately picked up the other parts, touched them one by one, and found that all the parts of the red cannon were like this.

"Your Majesty, have you discovered the problem?" Old Feng was a little nervous. After all, he hadn't done anything good for so long and he felt very guilty, but people were still dying on the front line.

Qin Yun pursed his lips and said, "Have someone take the semi-finished red cannon and fire it for me to see."

"Yes!"

Mr. Feng immediately asked someone to do it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, an extremely majestic and huge red cannon was lifted onto the open space. The black curtain was torn off, and the cannon body appeared bright red, which looked very good.

In the sunlight, the dark cave entrance shines brightly, as if it has the power to destroy the world.

You know, this is just a semi-finished product, and both the appearance and the interior need to be strengthened and improved!

Just one glance and Qin Yun was excited, and the slender hand of Murong Shunhua that he was holding felt a little pain. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, muttering to herself that she wasn't this excited when she slept with me on our wedding night, right?

"Light the fire!" shouted Old Feng.

The Imperial Guards personally raised the torch and lit it, hissing...

The fuse was lit and blue smoke quickly came out. After about two sips of tea, there was no movement from the red cannon.

Murong's beautiful eyes were moved, but why was there no movement?

Sudden.

boom!

There was a huge muffled sound like rolling thunder, and the huge red cannon weighing several hundred pounds shrank back, and a small black dot rose into the air.

It was visible to the naked eye that all the mosquitoes on the entire plain were retreating and were afraid, obviously having seen its power.

During this period, countless people had their limbs blown off.

"Everyone retreat!" the Jinyiwei roared at the top of his lungs.

The small dot only flew a short distance and then fell in a parabola. The moment it landed, a horrifying scene occurred!

boom! !

The earth trembled, the explosion pierced the eardrums, and the impact force was like a god or demon descending to the earth, overturning everything around.

A big hole was blown out in the ground, and dirt and gravel flew everywhere, which was far more terrifying than a loud thunderclap.

Everyone present was startled and terrified.

Even a top-level master like Murong Shunhua couldn't help but take a step back, his face pale with fright.

Looking at the place where the hole was blown out, white smoke was rising and it was a mess.

“Is this…is this the power of the Red Cannon?”

"No wonder, no wonder His Majesty keeps muttering to it in his sleep." Murong said in disbelief. She actually felt her own insignificance from this weapon.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will be afraid of this cannon.

Feng Lao, Jin Zhu and others were frightened every time they saw it. The red cannon touched upon their blind spots in knowledge. Its power was so great that it could probably destroy even a city!

Qin Yun's expression was one of deep thought at the moment, not as excited as one might imagine. He knew the power, but the distance was too damn short.

That’s two hundred meters, less than two hundred meters!

At the speed at which the Red Cannon is loaded, the enemy will rush into your face after just one shot.

No, no!

What went wrong!

Qin Yun was anxious and immediately rushed to the front of the red cannon.

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

"Be careful not to burn your hands!" everyone exclaimed, looking scared.

Qin Yun bent down boldly and put his ear close to him, which scared Old Feng out of his wits. After the red cannon fired, the cannon body was extremely hot.

With a swish sound of breaking through the air, it moved horizontally to Qin Yun's side.

"Quiet, don't make any noise!" Qin Yun said loudly and seriously.

Everyone froze suddenly, and the Jinyiwei soldiers all stopped moving. When they saw that Qin Yun's ear was only a finger's distance away from the cannon, they breathed a sigh of relief and wiped away the cold sweat.

Old Feng signaled for everyone to be quiet. Hundreds of people in the entire open space turned into puppets, even breathing carefully.

"呲呲呲..."

Qin Yun heard this strange sound coming from the gun body, but he couldn't hear it at all unless he listened carefully and closely.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he frowned solemnly: "I know, I know where the problem lies!"

Feng Lao and the others were shocked and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you know? Where is it? We will change it immediately!"

Qin Yun was discouraged again and shook his head, saying, "It cannot be changed because you didn't make any mistakes at all. It's just that you are limited by your craftsmanship and the precision is lacking."

"The gun bodies are all made of copper, and it is difficult to polish this material to a perfect fit."

Hearing this, everyone looked unhappy.

Old Feng clenched his fist and said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, is there no other way?"

"Yes, we found real master craftsmen! The workers I asked you, Mr. Feng, to find before should just be ordinary and excellent craftsmen among the people, right?" Qin Yun frowned.

Elder Feng nodded and said, "They are all experts in ironwork all their lives. I have searched everywhere in Xiliang. I also notified the imperial capital a month ago and asked the cabinet to help find them."

“But this is the level we can achieve.”

Jinzhu also frowned: "Yes, Your Majesty, could there be problems elsewhere? I think... this craftsmanship is already very sophisticated."

"It is made completely according to the royal craftsmanship."

Qin Yun shook his head and said decisively: "No, this is not enough!"

"A slight error will cause all sorts of major problems with the Red Cannon. This level of precision is not enough! Even the Ministry of Works of the Imperial Court will have difficulty completing it!"

"Now we can only place our hopes on some folk geniuses. As long as they can adjust the accuracy, the range of the Red Cannon will be at least increased several times!"

"Then pull them directly to the battlefield and counterattack the Turks!"
