Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Upon hearing this, Wei Wu immediately laughed.

"You're the one who can hide anything from me! Indeed, besides the flintlock rifles, I have two newly developed cannons to show you."

After saying that, Wei Wu turned around and looked towards a corner of the training ground.

Seeing Wei Wu's actions, everyone followed his gaze, but they only saw three things covered with red cloth.

Because it was covered by the red cloth, no one knew what was hidden underneath.

At this moment, Wei Wu's voice was heard again in the training ground.

"Bring up the artillery!"

As Wei Wu finished speaking, the soldier standing next to the red cloth immediately grabbed it and pulled it.

Two of the three pieces of red cloth were lifted, revealing the cannons hidden underneath.

The long cylindrical gun body was placed on a two-wheeled gun carriage and pushed to the middle of the parade ground by the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, our Institute of Science and Technology has recently developed two types of artillery, heavy artillery and light artillery, each with different functions."

"Heavy artillery is extremely powerful but difficult to move. It can be used to guard important city passes, while light artillery can be carried with the army to kill the enemy."

While speaking, Wei Wu walked directly to the side of the falconet.

"Let me first introduce this light cannon to you. It comes in six sizes, but for now we're only producing two: one large and one small."

As he spoke, Wei Wu pointed at the larger falconet.

"This is the largest-sized artillery piece. Its maximum range can reach four miles, and loading gunpowder and shells is very easy."

"It can be said that whether it's power, firing efficiency, or maneuverability, it's much stronger than today's large iron cannons!"

The original range of the large falconet cannon was only about two miles, which is about 1,300 meters.

But that's because the airtightness is too poor and its power cannot be fully exerted.

However, with the machine tools and micrometers provided by Wei Wu, coupled with the threaded sealing design, the airtightness problem no longer exists.

After introducing the large falconet, Wei Wu pointed to the small one.

"This small falconet has a range of approximately one mile and ninety feet. It's lightweight and extremely convenient to carry during marches."

The problem of airtightness was also improved, and the range of the small falconet was increased from 500 meters to 900 meters.

Even Wei Wu had to sigh that the power of industry was truly incomparably strong.

After introducing the two types of falconets, Wei Wu added a special sentence.

"There's also a smallest one that can even be held up by a soldier and launched. It can be used in mountainous areas, paddy fields, woodlands, and other environments."

"Due to time constraints, we only produced these two specifications, but they are enough for display."

After listening to Wei Wu's detailed explanation, I understood the various data of the falconet.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited that his body was boiling and his face turned red.

He didn't even care about his imperial dignity, he just stood up and waved his hand.

"Test the gun immediately!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the eunuch standing beside him immediately shouted.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the cannon be tested immediately!"

With the emperor's order, the soldiers in the barracks did not dare to hesitate and immediately took action.

Soon, the sub-guns of the two falconets were loaded with gunpowder and shells.

At the same time, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the south side of the training ground, the only side where no one was!

The falconet was tested in the same way as the flintlock rifle before it.

A gunner is accompanied by two auxiliary personnel who load gunpowder and shells into the sub-cannon.

After all preparations were completed, the gunner began to adjust the sight and rear sight and aim at the distant target.

It was only then that the audience discovered that a mud brick wall had appeared a mile away.

After the calibration was completed, the gunner squatted next to the gun with a torch and waited for orders.

Then Wei Wu shouted.
