On Blue Star, firearms were a concept that took many years to be perfected. The old emperor only saw the power of guns for the first time, and he already had a prototype in his mind.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that he was assassinated once many years ago and almost succeeded.
However, it cannot be denied that the old emperor was able to find clues through clues and break the world view he had established for many years to discover the identity of the outsiders of Di Xin and other realm master clones. The old emperor did not rely on a flash of inspiration.
He is one of the most outstanding people in the Ancient Moon Realm. Even the Emperor Xia Yan, who once saved Da Li from collapse, could not completely cover up his limelight.
Although Di Xin didn't know what the old emperor was thinking, even if he knew, he would strongly agree with the concept of compulsory control of firearms.
It is different from the extraordinary path that requires talent.
The emergence of firearms, in a certain sense, gave powerless people the ability to kill at will. If left unchecked, the entire Dali might become chaotic.
Xia uses force to disrupt the ban.
Firearms are also a type of weapons, and weapons are also included in martial arts.
For details, you can also refer to certain areas on Blue Star. The structure where guns are prevalent is warlords and chaos. Going out to buy groceries, taking a walk, or even doing nothing at home may be life-threatening.
So Di Xin had already made a plan.
When the imperial court allows firearms to be equipped in the military, he will take advantage of the situation and propose gun control proposals.
Unlike those cold weapons, although the government does not promote them, it does not restrict civilians from owning weapons except in some special places - even some blacksmith shops specialize in making weapons for people in the world.
The existence of firearms must be recorded, and no one except the imperial army is allowed to have firearms in their hands.
The emperor, as the master of the Dali Dynasty, is of course an exception. Of course, as an old emperor, he would not carry a gun with him. The royal family and the imperial guards are not idlers.
But in addition, in order to ensure the compulsory control of firearms, even generals like Di Xin are not allowed to wear firearms on weekdays.
Those who conceal firearms privately and the circumstances are serious will be killed without mercy.
In this way, although there will always be firearms spread due to various reasons, and the manufacturing methods will one day be imitated and researched, the strict control of firearms by the court can ensure that even if someone hides the firearm,
I don't dare to take it out easily.
With the power of the imperial court, if this was implemented from the beginning, the chaos that might arise in Dali after the emergence of firearms could be directly suppressed.
Of course, Di Xin also had countermeasures for the assassination problem that the old emperor was worried about.
But the most important thing now is to show the power of the artillery.
"Why don't those 'audiences' get anxious?"
After Di Xin joked in a low voice, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "The next thing is the artillery."
After saying that, Di Xin opened the last and largest piece of red silk.
At this moment, his face looked very much like some arms dealers on Blue Star.
However, those arms dealers sell arms to others, while he promotes them to himself.
"Wow……"
"Is this artillery?"
"It looks so strange..."
Di Xin brought his attention back to reality from the shock of the firearms. They saw the artillery behind the red silk at a glance. Many people who lacked concentration even couldn't help but make a sound.
Then he realized that this was the same as before, and quickly shut his mouth.
But his eyes were still fixed on the monster he saw for the first time.
In fact, the size of the artillery in the square is not that big, otherwise it would not be possible to build it in just a few days, and it could be easily pulled into the palace by a carriage.
If compared with the cannons on Blue Star, it can even be called "pocket-sized".
But this was the first time for the people of the Ancient Moon Realm to see such a thing as an artillery piece. Before they had been baptized by larger and more powerful artillery pieces, the artillery piece in front of them was enough to leave a deep impression on them.
Although it has not been tested yet, its dark appearance and thick barrel have already shown a hint of ferocity.
The slight noise that rose and fell suddenly among the officials did not affect Di Xin's movements.
He squatted down and adjusted the angle of the cannon, and the sound was as steady as ever.
"Artillery can strike while the enemy is still far away, and sometimes it also..."
Di Xin straightened up, walked to the box aside and took out a sharp cylindrical cannonball from the front, then moved the gun back to the back, inserted the cannonball from the back, and then closed the gun door tightly.
Although the craftsmanship level of Guyuejie is limited, the rear-entry cannon is more importantly a concept, and technically it has good sight lines.
The reason why the artillery shells are not made into a spherical shape is because the firing method of the artillery is not ignited by a fuse, but by traction.
This can also be accomplished with the technical level of the Ancient Moon Realm.
After loading the shells, Di Xin pulled up the lead rope next to him and said what he had not said just now.
"It is also a weapon for attacking cities!"
After saying that, Di Xin suddenly pulled his hands.
In an invisible place, the firing pin connected to the other end of the rope moves under the action of force.
There was a "click" sound.
After a soft sound that only Di Xin could make, there was the sound of the cannonball being fired.
Baiguan's thoughts stopped at the words "weapon for siege", and then he was brought back to attention by the sound of "bang".
Then in less than a moment, there was an even more deafening sound.
The sound like the wrath of heaven first shocked the ministers, and then what they saw was transmitted back to their brains.
Or to be precise, their brains have finally processed the information seen by their eyes.
First there was the fire of the exploding shell, and then the smoke and dust covered everything. Only the gravel flying out of the smoke continued to fall to the ground, and stopped after rolling a few times.
It wasn't until the smoke gradually dispersed that the officials discovered it.
The false wall that was originally made of stones had now turned into ruins, and there was even a hole in the center of the scattered rubble and scorched marks.
That place should be the impact point of the cannonball.
The scene in front of them caused the officials, who had just been shocked by the muskets, to fall into even more intense shock.
Some worried little ones were even frightened by the sound of gunfire and fell to the ground.
If a musket is used to break an earthen pot, and a trace of elegance can still be seen, then the artillery is a pure aesthetic of violence.
Caliber is justice, range is truth.
All the officials present knew that if a cannonball fell head-on at this moment, they would never suspect a thing.
