Chapter 32 The Secret of the New Cannonball

Soon the shell was loaded, and Chen Wen directly ignited the lead!

'boom!'

With a loud bang from the barrel, a shell was fired out, directly hitting several kilometers!

"Wow!"

Seeing the shells fired so far, Zhu Yuanzhang and others screamed in surprise.

The strongest artillery during this period had the farthest attack distance of only three to four kilometers, and the distance from Chen Wen's new artillery was estimated to be less than ten kilometers away!

You must know this distance. Even the Fran machine cannon that was transmitted to the Ming Dynasty in the middle of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to do it!

"Boy Wen! Can your new artillery hit so far?"

"This is a distance that even magic guns, cars and cannons cannot be hit!"

After seeing the distance of the new artillery, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in shock.

Chen Wen gave him quite a few surprises before, so Zhu Yuanzhang had already made psychological presets in his mind.

As a result, Chen Wen’s surprise this time was too unexpected to Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Duke Zhao! Looking at the appearance of this new cannon, it is no different from that magic gun, carriage, and cannon. Why can the new cannon be so far away?"

Compared to Zhu Yuanzhang's admiration that only knows how to write and slap, the things that Prince Zhu Biao thinks are more profound!

"Reply to Your Highness the Crown Prince! Although the appearance of this new artillery has not changed much, it is because the part of the changes in the official is mainly in the artillery!"

"In the new type of artillery, I portrayed rifle to increase the shooting distance of the artillery!"

Seeing Zhu Biao asking curiously, Chen Wen did not hide anything, but instead introduced some design content directly to Prince Zhu Biao.

"I know! Thank you, Duke Zhao for helping him solve his doubts!"

Seeing Chen Wen starting to popularize the content of learning, Zhu Biao was a little confused and quickly interrupted the other party's "spell casting"!

After seeing that Zhu Biao was not interested in scientific knowledge, the former had to stop saying anything more.

"By the way! Didn't you say that there is another new shell?"

"Hurry and demonstrate it to us. After seeing the power of this new artillery, we are also very curious about the power of this new artillery shell!"

Seeing that Chen Wen did not continue to introduce him, Zhu Yuanzhang began to urge him to demonstrate the new shells!

"Your Majesty, don't worry! Please wait for the soldiers to get the water back, and I will demonstrate to you and His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's urging, Chen Wen told the other party not to worry first.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang did not continue to urge him, but he felt a little surprised by Chen Wen's behavior of getting water.

But he did not stop Chen Wen, but instead asked Chen Wen to do whatever he wanted. After all, he didn't know much about firearms, so he naturally couldn't direct Chen Wen, an expert, to do things!

While several people were talking, the soldiers who were sent to fetch water also came back with dozens of buckets of water.

After seeing this scene, Chen Wen turned around and explained it, and prepared to start demonstrating the flowering bullets for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao!

The manufacturing process of this flowering bullet is not much different from those of the shells in later generations. However, the firearm technology has just started, and the shells created are temporarily shown in a round shape.

I saw Chen Wen asked his deputy who helped to load the shells, and as for him, he was calibrating the direction of the new artillery!

After the shells were loaded, Chen Wen also calibrated the direction of the new artillery.

'Bang!'

I saw a sound of cannon sound, and a flowering bullet rushed towards the target in the distance!

'collapse!'

As the shell landed, the mechanical fuse inside was also activated and exploded directly in the clearings in the distance!

The sound was even more deafening, and a raging fire ignited in the open space hit by artillery fire!

"Hiss! This new shell is really powerful!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the burning open space, he also took a breath.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also deeply realized that this new artillery and the new shells were simply the current weapon of war!

With this new artillery and equipped with new shells, the Ming army only needs to travel ten miles away to cause a devastating blow to the enemy's city walls!

Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic vision was absolutely fine, but he still underestimated Chen Wen's research.

"Your Majesty, after the soldiers of the Governor's Office have put out the fire, please go to the shell landing site together to see!"

Chen Wen kept it a little behind his back and said to Zhu Yuanzhang in front of him.

"Duke Zhao, can this new shell have other effects?"

After hearing Chen Wen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang had not spoken yet, but Prince Zhu Biao asked with curiosity.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince! When you arrive at the landing site, you will be able to see it at a glance!"

Chen Wen decided to continue to keep an eye on him.

Seeing that Chen Wen was so nervous, Zhu Biao did not continue to ask.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing by, nodded when he heard this. It was not difficult for so many people to extinguish the fire. At worst, just wait!

As the emperor of a country, he should not be too impatient!

"Your Majesty! The fire has been extinguished, please go with you!"

After seeing the fire in the distance being suppressed, Chen Wen invited Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

After hearing Chen Wen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mao Xiang to get a carriage, and several people got on the carriage again and rushed out dozens of miles away.

When they reached the landing site of the shell, the fire was completely extinguished!

As soon as everyone got off the carriage, they felt a wet and hot steam coming towards them, and the ground was covered with dark scorched earth!

"Boy Wen! What do you want to show us?"

"Isn't it that we want to look at these scorched earth?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around and found nothing that Chen Wen wanted to show him, so he asked.

"Your Majesty! I have discovered it!"

Seeing that Lao Zhu did not find anything special, when Chen Wen was about to solve the mystery, Mao Xiang, who had been silent, suddenly said.

"Hmm? What's the discovery?"

After hearing Mao Xiang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to Mao Xiang and asked.

"Report to the emperor! This open space is covered with densely packed with sharp iron pieces!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry made Mao Xiang point directly to the scorched earth and point to some sharp iron sheets that were reflecting.

"Boy Wen! That's what you want us to see?"

After listening to Mao Xiang's report, Zhu Yuanzhang did not respond, but turned around and looked at Chen Wendao.

"Not bad! These are the ministers, I want you to see!"

"The structure of the new shell is hollow, and a mechanical fire-induced structure is installed inside to make the shell explode."

"But because these structures do not occupy much, I put a large number of sharp iron fragments in it!"

"In this way, after the shell explodes, the iron debris inside and the iron shell on the outer layer of the shell will scatter towards the explosion."

"If you use it against the enemy on the battlefield, it can instantly lose the defense ability!"

Chen Wen paused and introduced this small design to everyone!
