Chapter 1571 shock(1/3)

"Architecture? Is the roar from the Tang Dynasty Royal Testing Ground before has anything to do with this artillery?"

When Li Kuan started speaking on stage, the word "cannon" just popped up, which caused a lot of response from the audience.

Some people who don’t know anything are looking around for no reason, wanting to know what is going on.

However, many people who knew more or less about something, or who had some questions, immediately focused on Li Kuan.

They all wanted to know what artillery is, what its function is, and why His Royal Highness attaches so much importance to the power of artillery.

Obviously, Jin Shengqiang is one of these people.

"Entertain, I heard that His Highness, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, began to arrange workshops to produce tincture bombs and explosive packs very early.

When they dealt with the Goguryeo and the Xueyantuo people, they used these methods.

Although a lot of the final information was not fully conveyed, the power of the stoke and explosive packs can be guessed from all kinds of words.

I think this artillery probably has some connection with these two things.”

Jin Dabang gave his own guess without thinking too much.

If Li Kuan heard it, he would probably like him.

Although this answer cannot be considered the correct answer, it is also considered close to the topic.

It would be good to guess this point without understanding the specific situation.

"Your Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty attaches so much importance to this artillery, it seems that this thing must be very powerful.

I just don’t know how to show it to everyone after a while.”

Jin Shengqiang also took out a telescope from his arms, trying to see the situation of the cannon clearly.

With the increase in the equipment rate of telescopes, some outflows inevitably began to occur.

Fortunately, so far, even if other countries have obtained the finished telescope products, they cannot make them.

So sometimes, the Treasure Pavilion simply takes out some defective products with relatively low resolution and sells them.

For example, the telescope of Jin Shengqiang can basically only see things two hundred meters away.

But the price is as high as hundreds of gold coins.

To be honest, the price of this telescope is even higher than that of gold of equal weight.

Even so, many people buy it.

At least a few hundred telescopes can be sold every year, which is one of the most profitable products in the Treasure Pavilion.

...

"The emergence of artillery means that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army will be improved in the future.

Whether it is defense or offense, he has great power.

In this process, many advanced science and technology are involved.

It can be said that the emergence of artillery was not a matter of a puppet, but an inevitable matter after the development of Datang technology to a certain level.

In the future, artillery will be equipped to major cities on the frontier, and on the one hand, it will be used as the main weapon to defend the city walls.

On the other hand, it will also equip the twelve guards as a weapon to attack the opponent's city in the future.

The city gate, which now seems indestructible, collapses completely with just a few roars of artillery.

Any force that dares to invade our Tang Dynasty will face the attack of the Tang Dynasty artillery.

Anyone who dares to resist will suffer a fatal blow."

Since he chose to invite so many people to the scene to watch the artillery debut, Li Kuan naturally did not invite everyone to drink and have a meal.

To put it bluntly, to invite people from foreign countries to come over to let them know that the Tang Dynasty is stronger than you think and should not oppose the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Following behind the Tang Dynasty to drink soup is the most correct choice.

At the same time, it also told the people of the Tang Dynasty that the strength of the Tang Dynasty was even stronger than they thought, allowing them to go abroad with confidence and boldness.

As long as there are places where the Tang Dynasty cannons appear, there is no need to worry that someone dares to oppose the Tang Dynasty.

"Old Cheng, all the range of the Tang Dynasty artillery is the land of my Tang Dynasty!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so domineeringly, but I like it!"

Among the crowd watching the ceremony, Yuchi Gong and Cheng Yaojin were naturally among them.

"His prince showed such a tough attitude before he ascended the throne. I am worried that many people in the court will have any opinions."

Although Cheng Yaojin felt very happy, he was obviously still worried.

When doing things in the Central Plains dynasty, they are often more implicit.

The words like Li Kuan who shouted openly, "All the Tang Dynasty artillery range is the land of my Tang Dynasty" were obviously difficult for Kong Yingda and others to accept.

"What are you afraid of! Although I don't know what the situation is in this artillery, His Royal Highness is so confident in it, and obviously he will not be like this."

Yuchi Gong looked at the row of artillery in the distance with great anticipation.

As a senior general of the Tang Dynasty, he already knows the situation of sulphur bombs and explosive packs.

But artillery is still relatively unfamiliar to him.

But with the information he learned, he was also full of expectations for this artillery.

"The greater the power of the artillery, the more low-key it should be hidden. Can it be unexpectedly effective when it is taken out at critical moments?"

Cheng Yaojin obviously didn't understand Li Kuan's approach.

This matter was made by Li Kuan alone and did not communicate with everyone in advance.

“It was like this more than ten years ago, but now the situation is different.

Looking around, the Eastern Turks are gone, and the Western Turks are basically destroyed.

As for Xue Yantuo and Goguryeo, they have now disappeared into the long river of history.

Even the countries on the Korean Peninsula and Japan are now honest.

At this time, let everyone know its power. Don’t provoke us. It can have the effect of defeating others without fighting.

From this perspective, I think His Royal Highness’s approach is actually correct.

This can avoid many unnecessary troubles in our Tang Dynasty.

I even have a guess that this cannon is relatively powerful, but will there be some problems with large-scale promotion or application?

At this time, if you continue to hide it, the improvement of the actual military strength of the Tang Dynasty may be very limited.

But if you take it out and intimidate everyone, it may have unexpected results.”

I have to say that Yuchi Gong is still very smart.

Although his guess cannot be said to be completely correct, it is basically close to the current actual situation.

Of course, Li Kuan also hopes that through the launch of such a cannon, everyone will realize that the times have changed.

If the Tang Dynasty wants to continue to develop, everyone must have a desire for change and not always stick to the past one acre and three-point land.

Otherwise, they will be eliminated.

Just imagine, if any other foreign state made artillery earlier than the Tang Dynasty and then unexpectedly attacked the frontiers of the Tang Dynasty.

So what will happen?

This is definitely not the scene that Li Kuan hopes to see.

"Let me hear what Kuan'er said first. I'll talk to him in person and see what he thinks!"

Cheng Yaojin was silent for a moment and didn't say anything more.

It is obviously not particularly meaningful to just guess there.

...

"The times are changing, and the development of science and technology has brought great changes to all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty.

Whether it is the advancement of medical technology or the use of discoveries related to studying matters and chemistry, it has brought great changes to the Tang Dynasty.

Now our Chang'an City is a big city with a population of more than two million.

In order for the people of the Tang Dynasty to live a good life, eat well, dress well, and live in a good house, the Tang Dynasty needs to keep moving forward.

Of course, this also requires the Tang Dynasty to have a stable development environment.

We are not afraid of challenges, we are not afraid of war.

But in the face of any challenge or war, we must have the level of sweeping the other party into the dust of history like the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves.

The emergence of this artillery was the benefit brought to the Tang Dynasty by the development of studying physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

Before announcing this year's Datang Royal Science and Technology Awards, we all obviously feel the power of artillery."

Li Kuan spoke slowly on the stage.

Although the voice is not a slight silence, it is very dull.
