Be A Lord Starting Today

【ps: The second update, and the fifth update!】

The quality of individual soldiers and the army's group operations, there will be no shortage of sergeants in the oblique moon city.

But cannons, such powerful and destructive weapons, are still very much needed, and must be equipped with limited troops.

Of course, it doesn't mean that matchlock guns won't be made.

Matchlock guns still have to be made, just make one or two and continue to study, so there is no need to deploy them on a large scale.

If you want to install it on a large scale, at least you have to make a flintlock gun.

But cannons are different. Cannons are powerful lethal weapons, even if they are the earliest bronze cannons, it would be good if they could be deployed in the army earlier.

So Don Juan started researching

There is gunpowder, how to put gunpowder into a cannon barrel, and then fire the cannonball.

This progress is extremely fast.

After all, the cast iron technology used by Don Juan is the smelting furnace in my world map.

The steel produced in the smelting furnace can be molded directly. There are problems such as insufficient strength, too much sand content, and easy to burst. One category does not exist!

The smelting furnace is really Don Juan's black technology.

If there is no smelting furnace, I want to use steel to cast cannons in this era.

Go ahead and play around, it's simply impossible with the steelmaking technology of this era.

So soon, the barrel of the gun was made.

After having the gun barrel, Don Juan began to let people fill it with gunpowder for further experiments.

How about the experimental cast iron cannon.

But today, Don Juan had just had a day off, and then Harlaus came to inform Don Juan that the cannon was ready.

Don Juan arrived on the city wall, looked at the cannon barrel made of iron and steel placed on the city wall, and asked Harlaus: "Is this done?"

"Yes my lord."

Harolds nodded confidently.

"Can it be launched?"

Don Juan asked again.

"it should be OK."

Harlaus rubbed the back of his head.

"What do you mean it should be possible?!"

Don Juan asked again.

"Experiment, we are not familiar with this thing, we can only feel it."

Harlaus said to Don Juan.

"It can only be groped step by step."

Don Juan sighed.

After all, even if he traveled here, although he can’t be said to be ignorant of this thing, he only knows that a tube is filled with gunpowder and a matchstick, and then the matchstick is lit to ignite the gunpowder, and the propulsion of the gunpowder will launch the shells along the barrel. go out.

That's all, that's all Don Juan knows, and it's close to knowing nothing about guns.

"Powder loaded, powder loaded."

Harlaus waved his hand.

The two sergeants next to the barrel nodded immediately, and then they began to put gunpowder into the barrel.

"Compact the gunpowder, compact it."

Seeing this, Don Juan said immediately.

"Yes, my lord."

Hearing this sentence, the two sergeants then used large cleaning rods to compact the gunpowder in the barrel.

Then Pendragon, who had been standing by the side, picked up an iron ball and placed it into the barrel of the gun.

The line of fire is extended through a hollow at the rear of the barrel.

"The line of fire is too short, and it should be lengthened, so that if there is any accident, it will not be a problem of injury.

Don Juan said again at this time.

Under Don Juan's order, two more fire wires were connected up, making the fire wires more than 50 centimeters long.

"Get ready to light the fire."

Don Juan waved his hand.

Holding a torch in his hand, Pendragon cautiously approached the cast iron cannon.

Stretching out the torch in his hand, Pendragon immediately ran away without looking back.

Don Juan had told them in advance about the power of gunpowder, blowing up a person was like a joke.

Naturally, Pendragon, who believed in Don Juan deeply, would not doubt this statement.

"Hey! Come back! It's not lit!"

Seeing this, Don Juan immediately shouted.

"Huh? Not lit?"

Pendragon was taken aback when he heard the words, and looked back, sure enough, the thread was fine.

He couldn't help but blushed.

Holding the torch again, he went back to the back of the barrel, and then carefully stretched out the torch again.

"laugh"

Suddenly, sparks lit up!

X!

Pendragon immediately ran to a small watchtower ten meters away, while Don Juan hid in a small watchtower on the other side, poking his head to check the situation there.

The fifty centimeters of fire wire burned for a while, and finally all disappeared into the barrel of the gun.

Everyone's spirits froze immediately.

Is it about to launch?

After a long time, Don Juan picked out his ears and looked at the cast iron cannon that hadn't moved at all.

"Why is there no movement?"

Don Juan carefully approached the barrel of the gun step by step.

...0 for flowers...

"How come there is a feeling of setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year in a previous life."

Muttering in his heart, he looked inside from the firing port behind the barrel.

Then he yelled immediately: "Who plugged in another live wire?"

It turned out that I didn't know who it was. Anyway, I negligently stuffed another live wire into it, and the burning one didn't touch the gunpowder inside until it was burned.

"Start again."

Pull the live wire out and replace it with a longer one.

This time Don Juan lit the fire himself.

"My lord, it may be dangerous, let me do it.

Seeing this, Pendragon immediately said to Don Juan.

"I'll come in person, you all stay away."

Don Juan waved his hand.

Be careful, you must be careful, after all, no one has cast a torch before.

All are blind men crossing the river by feeling the stones, and they will drown if they are not careful.

Caution is a must.

Don Juan picked up the torch, lit the wire, and immediately ran back to a watchtower ten meters away.

Here Harlaus and the other sergeants are also hiding here.

In the face of gunpowder, Don Juan never dared to take it too seriously. Although Tang Juan's physical fitness was several times that of the Common people, Tang Juan was invincible in the cold weapon era.

But this thing is a cannon, if it accidentally explodes, the body will be useless even if it is steel.

Because the fire wire is relatively long, it burned for a while.

After a long time, everyone present heard an earth-shattering bang!

"boom!!"

This loud noise seemed to connect the heaven and the earth.

The large flakes of snowflakes that were originally falling around were all scattered in all directions.

"Ah? What sound?!"

The soldiers and civilians in the city near the south wall were startled.

And Tang Juan and others who were observing from the city wall saw a huge long cylindrical object soaring into the sky, flew several meters into the sky and then fell from the city wall.

"bump!"

It hit the ground, and the temperature of the gun bore melted the surrounding snowflakes.

"Who made this pedestal!?"

Don Juan was taken aback.

The barrel itself is fine, but it is basically not fixed firmly.

The huge recoil directly knocked the whole cannon into the air!

"Is this a problem with the base not being secure?"

The other sergeants were a little dumbfounded.

Because this is the pill they made together. .
