The craftsmen who brought the tools started to act, and the parts were also hung up. The first thing they had to do was to fix this new type of artillery.

Everyone was very serious at this time, and Ye Chunqiu was just watching, so he was silent.

The person in charge of the navy was Wang Xiong. He was a scholar. One of the first people to join the new army in Zhenguo. He used to be Wang Shouren's right-hand man, but now he is responsible for the affairs of the new army in Zhenguo. To some extent, he knew nothing about the navy, but in this era, there was no one who was proficient in the navy. Fortunately, with these Franchise men's step-by-step teachings, Wang Xiong simply followed Yes' butt every day and studied meticulously.

It is said that when the students of the navy boarded the boat for training, nearly half of these people were landslides. Once they arrived on the boat, they vomited and had diarrhea and could not even stand firm. Now, after the two months of training, they finally got much better. Now, Wang Xiong is standing beside Ye Chunqiu and whispering to Ye Chunqiu.

The artillery has been tested on land countless times and has simulated the environment on the ship. However, Wang Xiong is still worried about the actual test on the ship. If something unexpected happens, it will be inappropriate.

Because of this, Wang Xiong still repeatedly hoped that Ye Chunqiu would get off the ship and then experiment first.

Ye Chunqiu just smiled, but his eyes fell on the craftsman. This "Qinhuang" used the most popular porthole cannon of the Franchise. This was the invention of the French in 60s and 7s, and it soon became popular. The design of the Qinhuang is the leading one.

Craftsmen began to fix the cannons. The barrels of the new cannons were very long and relatively thin. This was due to the continuous improvement of alchemy technology. It should be noted that the steel in this era was often primitive and could not withstand the explosion of gunpowder in the chamber. Therefore, in order to prevent the explosion of the chamber, the barrels were often extremely thick. In this way, the artillery became too bulky. But the more heavy the cannons on the boat, the greater the recoil.

The barrel of the new type of artillery uses medium carbon nickel-chromium platinum alloy steel. The biggest feature of this steel is that it bears the momentary pressure and high temperature in the chamber. Under this premise, the thinner the barrel, the better. While eliminating the danger of explosion, try to make it "light and thin". Moreover, its style is similar to that of the cannon, most of which is that the barrel is longer, which improves the range and accuracy of the artillery. The barrel is mostly rifle technology of the rifle, and it is also a rear-loading shell.

In order to absorb shock, Ye Chunqiu covered the insulator on the base of the cannon and even put a lot of rubber on it. In addition, it was the shell.

The shells were made of later generations' grenades. Of course, compared with its predecessors, this shell was much rougher. Fortunately, the shells were larger and were large-sized bullets. This made Ye Chunqiu use Minnie bombs due to the problem of technology, but directly cast the real shells.

The so-called grenade has a nickname called "flowering bullet". This type of shell uses fragments and shock waves generated by the projectile explosion to kill or explode. The most disgusting thing about this shell is that it is filled with not only yellow gunpowder, but also countless steel balls. Once it explodes, the shells are immediately decomposed by powerful gunpowder, forming countless fragments mixed with steel balls and exploded, which can completely cover more than ten feet away nearby. Once the shells land, it means that all creatures within more than ten feet will be immediately torn to pieces by countless shrapnel and steel balls, which is a large-scale weapon of destruction.

Originally, Ye Chunqiu shouldn't have used this kind of grenade on the ship. After all, the most important thing in naval battle is to break armor. Sinking the opponent is the right thing, and the great lethality is not the target.

However, after repeated research, Ye Chunqiu still chose this kind of "broken son and grandson" bomb. The reason is very simple. If the grenade was in the Iron Ship era three hundred years later, it might not have any armor-breaking effect. After all, the steel-wrapped ship would be difficult to cause huge damage without a special shell, but now... it is the Wood Ship era.

This product that transcends the times is not only disgusting, but has extremely lethality. What is really terrifying is that it is invincible and any wooden warship can be easily torn to pieces by it. It can be said that the current grenades have all the functions in this era, namely, large-scale killing, causing fire disasters, and breaking armor.

Ye Chunqiu had also thought about making recoilless artillery, but when he thought of the limitations of the conditions, he finally gave up and adopted some improved solutions to reduce the recoil, such as reducing the "power" of the artillery. But even so, with grenades, it can still cause a crushing effect.

When the cannon was fixed to the side porthole, a sailor pulled the noose and opened the side porthole. The cannon was suddenly pushed out of the porthole, and the dark muzzle appeared on the hull. At this time, Ye Chunqiu said to Yes, a lieutenant of the Franchise naval officer, who was accompanying him, "Set."

Ye Si looked at the novel artillery in surprise, still in shock. When he heard Ye Chunqiu's order, he took back his mind and did not dare to neglect. He hurried to the deck and issued an order.

Suddenly, the entire Qinhuang sailor began to get busy, test the wind direction, anchored, Yang Fan, and turned the rudder. Under the wind, the ship began to slowly pass through the sea and slowly sailed towards the outside sea.

The artillery test was conducted outside the sea, which was both confidential and for safety. Think about it, if the artillery was launched in the near sea, what deviation would have occurred, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ye Chunqiu has excellent physical fitness, so although it was the first time he had really boarded this ship, he didn't feel dizzy. From the cannon cabin to the deck, he came down to the bow of the ship surrounded by the navy officials, looking at the sea and sky in the distance. The blue sea water and the azure sky seemed to be connected together, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Occasionally, seagulls circling on the boat. They are not afraid of the boat, and even pass by at low altitude, as if mocking the big boat for being too slow.

The bulging sails roared, and the speed of the ship gradually accelerated. When I looked back, I saw that the continent was getting farther and farther away, and in the end there was only a dark ball.

Ye Chunqiu was a little excited. There was a vast ocean under his feet, and this vast ocean was the way out for him and this nation.

Standing aside, Wang Meng, the navy camp officer and Ye Si, the adjutant, looked at Ye Chunqiu quietly, and saw a warm smile on Ye Chunqiu's face, just like the early autumn season.

The navigation with the compass and the chart was basically determined. After more than an hour, a student rushed over panting and said, "Report to the teacher, the location has arrived."
