Following a series of loud noises, the muzzle of the general's cannon was seen spraying out groups of extremely terrifying fire snakes.
Immediately afterwards, the projectiles were blasted into the sky by the air pressure generated in the general's cannon, and headed straight for the hilltop not far away.
After the cannonball landed, the flints inside the cannonball immediately collided together, and then ignited the H powder inside the cannonball.
The iron shells exploded in an instant, blasting the ground into large craters with a diameter of more than two meters.
At that moment, the smoke and dust raised by the explosion of the shell on the mountain covered half of the mountain.
The people in the ordnance battalion were already indifferent to the scene in front of them because they had already tested it earlier.
But this was the first time Li Shimin saw it.
When had he seen such a scene?
At that moment, he was so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
{Received surprise value +99 from Li Shimin...}
{Received surprise value +99 from Li Shimin...}
{Received surprise value +99 from Li Shimin...}
{…}
At this time, the system prompts in Li Chengqian's mind couldn't stop at all.
As the Ninth Five Emperor, the person with the highest status in the world, Li Shimin's level of surprise is several times that of ordinary people.
And this is also the main reason why Li Chengqian had to bring Li Shimin over.
Although he doesn't want to continue to rely on the system to continue changing this era.
But when it comes to points, the more the merrier.
After all, as the old saying goes, be prepared and be prepared...
After a long time, he turned to look at Li Chengqian.
"This...did you do this yourself again?"
No wonder he was so surprised.
After all, some time ago, the power of Skyfire Thunder had just been tested on the battlefield.
Now he has created another one, which is really unbelievable .
What is this guy's little head made of?
Why is he so powerful?
"Didn't your father say you don't believe it just now? Why are you so surprised now?"
Li Chengqian looked like he was angry and needed to be coaxed and said: "Why, now that I have seen it, I believe it?"
Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He said straightly: "Okay, okay, don't try to make such a fuss with me. Isn't it okay as a father?"
After saying this, he called Liu Min and said: "Manager Liu!"
"I'm here!"
Liu Min quickly agreed, then ran up to Li Shimin and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"No instructions."
"I just want to ask you, how many of these general cannons have been made now?"
"How complicated is the production process? Can the entire army be equipped with this kind of weapon?"
Now Li Shimin can also see the power of this thing.
If this thing is taken to the battlefield, it will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.
And Li Shimin couldn't help but start to think about it. One day in the future, he would lead such an army to conquer the world. Wouldn't those military achievements be easily obtained?
What about Xue Yantuo, what about the Western Turks, what about the barbarians in the south of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Regions, aren't they all something you can destroy if you want to?
Now, Li Shimin couldn't even suppress his inner excitement.
He really wants to lead an army equipped with hundreds or even thousands of general cannons to conquer the world.
But Liu Min's words directly poured cold water on his head.
"Your Majesty, the manufacturing process of this general cannon is extremely complex."
"Hundreds of forging craftsmen in the ordnance camp started working together, and within five days they only made
These are the eighteen gates that have come out."
Liu Min smiled bitterly: "If you want to produce in a quantitative manner, you must at least recruit twice as many forging craftsmen."
"It doesn't matter."
"Leave this matter of craftsmanship to me."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will release the imperial list to the whole world and recruit craftsmen from people all over the world."
Li Shimin raised his head and smiled proudly: "After the recruitment of craftsmen is completed, I will see two hundred General Zhenguan cannons within a month!"
etc……
Zhenguan General Cannon???
Li Chengqian looked at his father with a puzzled face.
This guy just took away his own things again?
When Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin couldn't help but look back at him.
That look in his eyes clearly says, I can rob my son's things if I want. Are you in charge of that?
Seeing that look, Li Chengqian was also filled with helplessness.
On, what is it like to have a father who loves to snatch things from his son?
Li Chengqian really has a deep understanding of that.
If one day he were asked to write a memoir, he would definitely write down all the glorious deeds of Li Shimin who robbed him.
Afterwards, Li Shimin asked some more questions about the general's cannon, and without further words, he took Li Chengqian back to Chang'an City.
…
On the way back to the city.
Li Shimin looked straight at Li Chengqian and said: "This time, it was done beautifully. I like this Zhenguan General's cannon very much."
"As long as Father likes it."
Li Chengqian laughed dryly and said: "But my father, I feel that this general cannon is not perfect yet, at least not in terms of forging technology. I would like to improve on this aspect."
What he is talking about is the forging process.
Although because of his appearance, the original forging technology of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly improved due to the emergence of wind forging. But compared to the mechanized forging of later generations, these are obviously far behind.
Li Chengqian really can't wait any longer now, and the times are slowly moving forward.
He wished he could develop a steam engine right away.
But if he wanted to develop a steam engine, it was definitely not enough to rely on his own abilities.
So, he now has a bold plan...
Li Chengqian said directly to Li Shimin: "I want to travel around the world and look for a craftsman who can help me change the current situation."
"Why do you have to go find it yourself?"
Li Shimin was a little confused and said: "Isn't it enough for me to publish the imperial list?"
"no."
Li Chengqian shook his head slightly and said: "Because according to Erchen, some real masters are indifferent to fame and fortune. They just study what they have learned behind closed doors at home."
"And the reason why I want to go this time is to follow the rumors in the world and find it."
Hear this.
Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then said: "That's fine, I'll let you go and experience it."
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Li Chengqian and asked: "Then when are you going to leave? How many people will you take with you?"
"My plan is to set off one month after my wedding."
"And I'm not taking anyone with me. I'm going alone."
Li Chengqian said it seriously.
But these words shocked Li Shimin.
"Are you crazy?"
"Don't forget, you are my son, and with your reputation in the family, you are not afraid..."
He didn't say the next words.
Of course, the reason he didn't say it was not because he couldn't say it.
It was because the carriage suddenly stopped.
Moreover, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian felt a strong murderous aura coming toward them almost at the same time...
