The magic rocket has been put on the "launching pad", it looks like that.

The rocket is not big, just a long and thin one. The outer casing is hammered out of copper sheet section by section, and then soldered together to form a cylinder. The surface of the cylinder is pasted with white paper.

Full of red spells.

The head of the cylinder is equipped with a cardboard pointed end, which is also full of charms. A firework bomb is hidden inside the cardboard. The lead of the firework bomb passes through a small hole and is buried in the sugar powder in the cylinder below.

.Once the sugar powder is burned out, the fuse will ignite the fireworks and explode into green smoke.

And on the bottom of the cylinder, four small copper pieces are welded on - these are the tail fins, which were also copied directly from Ming army rockets picked up on the battlefield.

The tail fin is engraved with Tai Chi patterns!

I have to admit that once Emperor Kangxi worked hard, he was very good at copying homework... and he even came up with new ideas!

Of course, he still doesn't know the secrets of adhesives and catalysts, so he doesn't know that using an iron shell as the shell of a grenade hammer is dangerous and can easily explode.

But the sugar medicine he copied out can still be used.

In addition, difficult black technology such as the cable-type fuse is not something that the academic master Kang Mazi can crack in the short term.

But the "magic" Kang Mazi now masters is still enough for him to show off in front of a group of foreign envoys, nerdy scholar-bureaucrats, and soldiers of the Eight Banners New Army.

Now Kangxi, the Qing Dynasty's most pretentious criminal, has already taken a seat in the grandstand on the launching platform.

It is said to be a grandstand, but it is actually an explosion-proof fortification stand. A low wall was built with sandbags in front. A small wooden platform was built behind the wall. A chair was placed on the wooden platform. Kangxi sat on the chair, just enough to expose his head.

Watch the launch.

Others stood behind the low wall and watched - if you were kneeling, you could only watch the wall, which would not be effective in showing off.

At this time, on the launch pad, Hanlin scholar Zhang Hongtian and Zhang Zhenren were commanding a group of young Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain and Maoshan who were playing with the ignition rope of the rocket.

This high-end and high-end rocket is actually ignited with a fire hose and a match rope. It still looks a bit unadvanced!

As the match rope dragged to the launch pad was lit, Zhang Hongtian led a group of young Taoist priests to retreat a little, but they did not retreat too far. They formed a circle around the launch pad and stood there, holding a whisk in their arms.

Start chanting the mantra...this is called the Rocket Launching Mantra!

After reciting the humming incantation, he saw Zhang Hongtian and Master Zhang vigorously dancing the fly whisk, and then shouted: "Tai Shang Laojun is as urgent as the law...go to heaven!"

As soon as he finished shouting, a large amount of thick smoke suddenly spewed out from the tail of the "magic rocket", and then the "magic rocket" flew into the sky with a whoosh, so fast that it dazzled everyone's eyes - their gazes

It can no longer keep up! The rocket flew up into the sky dragging smoke, and disappeared from people's sight in the blink of an eye. Only the scream of "swish, swish" came from the sky, indicating that it was still moving rapidly.

Fly upward.

Emperor Kangxi was well prepared. While everyone was still looking around for the rocket, he had already raised his telescope and looked up at the sky.

"Sugar medicine" is the rocket booster used by amateur rocket players in later generations... It is also the best performing booster they can find. It can perform better and can even push the rocket to a thousand points.

At an altitude of several meters, black gunpowder is simply incomparable.

Because the "sugar medicine" burns very quickly, the rocket rose very quickly and flew to an altitude of two to three hundred feet in the blink of an eye. At this time, the sugar medicine in the cylinder had almost burned out, and the burning match rope was immediately ignited.

The firework hidden in the head of the rocket exploded. With a "boom", a cloud of green smoke exploded from an altitude of two to three hundred feet.

"Long live Long live Long live......"

Cheers suddenly sounded, but Emperor Kangxi just smiled slightly and said to the people around him who were looking at the sky with their mouths open: "It looks like it's a thousand feet high... but it's still far from being able to detect the height of the sky.

It’s far away, we’d better study hard.”

His pretentious words were immediately replaced by flattery.

"The emperor's power is boundless, and Wan Sheng is so impressed that he fell to the ground!"

"The emperor is truly a god. Zhu and Wu Ni only have a little magic power. How dare they compete with the emperor? They are really looking for death!"

"The Emperor's teachings reach the heavens, and he is truly the most holy master in ancient and modern times. We, the Qing Dynasty, will surely be able to rule the world for tens of thousands of years!"

Of course, those who make such remarks are all laymen. Laymen are watching the fun, while experts are watching the door.

Pastor Philip, the chief exorcist of the Holy See, is an expert. After witnessing the "witchcraft" and "rocket to the sky" with his own eyes, he was convinced that he had really met a magician!

He is a real magician, not a magician!

What should I do? As an exorcist, he has been exorcising demons for half his life, but he has never seen a real demon. Now that he has seen it... he will not be able to exorcise it!

Oh God, come and save me!

Leibniz was also an expert, and of course he saw that this "magic rocket" was no ordinary thing!

It's so big, flies so high, and has a "warhead"... He knows that flying high means flying far.

Being able to carry a "warhead" of a certain weight means that it can launch an explosive to a very long distance.

The weight and range of the "warhead" can actually be "exchanged"!

If the range could be greatly sacrificed, then the Qing Emperor's "magic rocket" could throw a very large and heavy explosive hundreds of yards away.

Although Leibniz was not sure whether this "magic rocket" could hit a distant target very accurately?

But in a battle where the two armies' arrays were only a few hundred yards apart, this "magic rocket" would easily hit its target as long as it made the necessary improvements.

In addition, the propellant filled in the "magic rocket" can shoot such a large rocket so high, indicating that it can release greater energy when burning. If it is filled into a blooming bomb...

.

Emperor Kangxi opened his eyes to see the world, and he saw it very clearly!

Before the advent of sugar medicine, he knew that China's firearms were not as good as those of the West, so he asked Nan Huairen to come out to take charge of the Jingshan Artillery Making Department and cast Western-style cannons.

At the same time, because he was afraid that Western firearms would threaten the rule of the Qing Dynasty if they were passed into the hands of the Han people, he invented the concept of "Eight Banners Firearms". A series of powerful weapons such as the Weiyuan General Cannon, the Victory General Cannon, and the Zimu Cannon

Larger Western-style firearms were included in it, and the green battalion was restricted or even not allowed to use it to ensure that the Eight Banners soldiers had the advantage in firepower. At one time, they even wanted to use sugar pills as Eight Banners firearms!

However, after the two defeats in Jianyangshui and Sanjiangkou Town, Kangxi had changed. He no longer restricted the Han troops loyal to him from acquiring advanced firearms... But as soon as he turned around, he began to treat his foreign masters again.

Nan Huairen kept it a secret.

He knew that foreigners did not have sugar and medicine, and he would not teach them without giving them enough benefits. Moreover, most of the producing areas of white sugar were controlled by Zhu Heji. If foreigners learned how to prepare sugar and medicine, Zhu Heji would not be able to make a lot of money?

Therefore, Kangxi would rather pretend to be a ghost than tell the truth to the foreign devils.

Anyway, Zhu Heji kept it secret, so he kept it secret along with him. Not only did he have to keep it a secret, he also had to show it off. Not only did he show it off to foreigners, but he also had to show it off to the gentry in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang provinces who still didn’t know the truth.

Seeing these "evil gentry" tremblingly approaching to kneel, Kangxi just waved his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need to give a big salute. I will just say a few words. After that, I have to give a banquet to the foreign envoys, so I won't make peace."

You guys had a meeting together.

The only thing I want to say is the right to organize group training... I don't expect the group training you organize to fight Zhu Heqi. I have a new army, guns, magic, and navy.

, and there are so many Western friends to help, we will not be defeated. So I let you organize group training just so that when Jiangnan encounters war, you can close your doors to protect yourself. So this matter is related to your own wealth and life. This group training license
