After a while, the vibrations coming from the ground gradually stopped.

Jia Cong was about to ride on the Zhaoye Jade Lion to the northern suburbs to find out.

What if it really turns out to be an earth dragon, causing a tragic disaster?

My uncle Jiu, who is cheap, is afraid that he will be issued a "sinful edict".

At this moment.

Yang Yiming rushed out of the Hanlin Academy like an arrow!

"Brother Zili, your horse is fast, take me to the Firearms Research Institute!"

When Yang Yiming mentioned the Firearms Research Institute, Jia Cong's expression changed.

Wasn’t it an earthquake just now?

Was it an explosion caused by the firearms research institute?

"Let's go!"

Jia Cong quickly helped Yang Yiming onto the horse and sat behind the saddle.

"Xiao Fuzi, keep up!"

As he spoke, he patted the horse's butt gently, and the two of them rode away.

At this time, the mountain behind the Firearms Research Institute was used exclusively for experiments.

The sound of gunfire has stopped, but the smoke has not cleared.

The entire Jingwei battalion surrounded the test site.

Yang Yiming took out his waist card and entered the experimental field with Jia Cong.

Dai Yuan was leading his subordinates to inspect the cannons that had just been fired, his face flushed with excitement.

"Teacher! Teacher Dai!"

Yang Yiming shouted loudly before he could get off his horse.

Dai Yuan waved vigorously: "Yi Ming, Brother Jia Shi, come quickly!"

Jia Cong jumped off the horse first, and then helped Yang Yiming's glass man down.

Yang Yiming's equestrian skills are extremely close to zero. He can't even turn over and dismount alone.

Being led by Jia Cong on horseback, everyone's face turned slightly pale.

Dai Yuan was so excited that he even forgot to meet Jia Cong.

He reached out and grabbed Yang Yiming and loudly spoke some professional terms that only their master and apprentice could understand.

Jia Cong smiled when he saw this.

Let’s go and take a look at those cannons first.

Three of them have copper-cast gun bodies.

The shape is similar to the Weiyuan General Cannon.

But it is much shorter and thicker, and the diameter is larger.

Judging from the small earthquake-like ground shaking at the beginning.

It is obvious that Dai Yuan, an expert in artillery who has a legacy from his ancestors, fired hollow-point bullets.

Instead of bouncing a big iron ball solidly.

The gun mount has also been changed from four iron wheels to three wheels, making the steering more flexible.

The shapes of the other several are similar to the mighty and invincible general cannon.

I saw that the voices of the two masters and apprentices were getting louder and louder, but they were still talking like ducks.

Jia Cong smiled and went over and took out the cotton stuffed in Dai Yuan's ears.

"Okay, you master and disciple can talk properly now."

The sound of the artillery explosion is very loud. If you don't take precautions in advance, your ears will be deafened.

Dai Yuan looked at the cotton in Jia Cong's hand and laughed.

"Thank you for reminding me, brother. I really forgot about this."

Jia Cong asked: "Uncle Dai Shi, what is the maximum range?"

Dai Yuan laughed and said: "The distance of the firing range depends on the amount of charge and the height of the gun."

"These are light mortars, and the height of the cannon can be adjusted here."

"Suitable for field battles and can also be installed in warships."

Dai Yuan took Jia Cong and Yang Yiming to those powerful and invincible general cannons.

"This is a heavy artillery piece. I have slightly improved it on the legacy of my ancestors."

"For example, caliber, charge, and range have all been significantly improved."

"This can be used to attack the city in the field, and it can also be used to defend the city when mounted on the city wall."

Jia Cong laughed loudly: "Okay! The most important weapon of the country!"

He paused and then said: "Can the problem of bombardment be solved?"

Speaking of this, Dai Yuan was a little embarrassed.

"It cannot be completely solved."

"However, even if it is made of copper and explodes, it will not break into pieces and hurt the artillery."

I saw Zheng Duofu coming in from the outside with four solar terms.

Jia Cong first smiled at Yang Yiming and said, "Glass man, you have been outclassed by the teacher!"

Yang Yiming scratched his hair in distress: "It would be nice if there was a real thing..."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "If Wilson can come back from the West, maybe there will be."

"However, no one can say for sure about this war."

The Seven Years' War in later generations lasted for seven years.

Whether Wilson, a businessman, can escape from the troubled times with his life is still unclear.

Jia Cong inspired Yang Yiming with a few words.

Then he said with a smile: "You master and disciple continue to chat and study, I will go into the palace to see Uncle Jiu!"

"Also, Uncle Dai Shi, be prepared, the Holy Emperor is likely to come in person tomorrow!"

Dai Yuan repeatedly raised his hand: "Thank you, brother, for reminding me!"

…………………………

The side hall of Qinzheng Hall.

It is March in spring and the weather is getting warmer.

There is no need to burn earth dragon heated Kang in the palace.

Emperor Tianxi moved his usual living place to the side hall.

Seeing Jia Cong rushing into the side hall in a hurry.

Emperor Tianxi said with a smile: "It seems that Dai Yuan's cannons are quite powerful."

"No, another one came out!"

In the side hall, Jia She, Qi Youlu and Tu Yao were all there.

Jia Cong first bowed to Emperor Tianxi.

Emperor Tianxi asked: "Cong'er, why did you come just now?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I took Yiming to the Firearms Research Institute first."

"Looking at the Weiyuan General Cannon and the Shenwei Invincible General Cannon."

Emperor Tianxi asked curiously: "Cong'er, why do you want to confer the title of general on Cannon?"

Jia Cong laughed loudly: "Didn't this start before the Hongwu period of the previous dynasty?"

"It's just that he sealed the fire dragon cannon at that time."

Emperor Tianxi smiled and said: "Okay, as you said, I will give Dai Yuan and these cannons the title of general!"

Jia Cong shook his head: "These two names are on the posthumous remains of Dai Wen."

"This is not the general I made."

"Besides, that mighty and invincible general cannon always feels like it belongs to my second brother!"

"I don't want my second brother to go to the battlefield!"
