Chapter 893: Wooden handle grenade

"The Governor?"
Pang Yukun looked suspicious in the imperial study room, the name was a bit strange.
Xiao Ming nodded. He said: "In the future, our army will occupy more places. The temporary administrators of these places are the governors. They will exercise management powers on behalf of the court."
"So that's the case, so the emperor is going to hand over this matter to Ye Qingyun to handle it?"
"One Ye Qingyun is enough to deal with people like Goryeo. The court only needs to set some rules for him, and he decides the rest. In this way, he doesn't have to be restrained and delay handling the crisis."
Pang Yukun nodded. In fact, it is true. What they need is to set a national strategy, and the specific details are executed by specific generals and officials. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to use their talents.
"The next official will give Ye Qingyun an answer," Pang Yukun said.
After that, Pang Yukun turned and left.
Watching Pang Yukun's figure disappear at the end of the trail, Xiao Ming stretched his arms and prepared to go back to rest. It was really exhausting to take the boat and train for these two days.
Never thought he would see Chen Qi walking towards him when he walked out of the imperial library.
"The emperor, please see what this is?" In front of Xiao Ming, Chen Qi took out one thing like a baby.
Seeing that the head was made of iron and the thing with a wooden handle underneath, Xiao Ming was taken aback. He said, "This is a grenade?"
"Yes, the emperor, this is exactly the wooden handle grenade. After solving the problem of pulling the fire tube, this wooden handle grenade will have no difficulty." Chen Qi looked relaxed.
"Yes, yes, all of you have become talents now. Even when I am no longer able to independently develop weapons." Xiao Ming is very pleased that the talent training over the past eight years is worthwhile.
Chen Qi scratched his head. He said, "Actually, this depends on the information provided by the emperor. This fire tube is just a lead tube filled with broken glass. It can be rubbed to produce sparks with a light pull. It can ignite the fuse. We use a fire fuse that can burn for five seconds. After five seconds, the fire fuse will detonate the grenade."
Xiao Ming took the wooden-handled grenade and looked at it repeatedly and was very satisfied. In fact, the grenade has a long history, and it was China that invented it first.
Grenades did not appear until the 15th century in Europe, and they were mainly used for fortress defense and prisons. Until the mid-17th century, some European countries began to equip their elite troops with field grenades and called soldiers who had been specially trained to use this ammunition. For the grenadier.
The British Grenadier March was made for grenadiers, but the grenades of this period were big and heavy, resembling shot puts.
So throwing grenades requires amazing arm strength, and at the same time you need a brave heart, because grenadiers often throw grenades at the front line.
This period lasted until the 19th century, but with the development of guns and the reduction of castle offensive and defensive battles, grenades began to be left out of the cold. However, in World War I, due to the rise of trench warfare, grenades once again showed excellent results. The more typical grenade at that time was the German wooden grenade.
Now Chen Qi obviously makes a grenade similar to this one.
"Chen Qi, it’s very time for this grenade to appear. Now the war in the South is falling into the endless loop of trench warfare. The need is this kind of grenade. I will immediately ask the cabinet to assign a group of people to you to establish a special grenade factory. In the beginning, you have to produce grenades day and night to break the confrontation in the trenches in the south." Xiao Ming said excitedly.
"Yes, the emperor." Chen Qi was a little flattered. Now his research on artillery is difficult to make. Although he has proposed many new types of artillery, these artillery cannot be manufactured at all because of industrial restrictions.
And this grenade made him regain his glory.
Giving Chen Qi a look of approval, Xiao Ming continued: "I know that you are studying the problem of breech guns. Don't worry about this, it will be done in time."
Chen Qi looked grateful and said: "Thank you, the emperor for his comfort, Chen Qi will definitely continue to work hard."
"So good."
After talking about the production of grenades, Xiao Ming not only felt itchy hands while holding the grenade with wooden handles, he said, "This palace is a spacious place, so you might as well try the power of this grenade with wooden handles."
After speaking, the two left the imperial study room and stopped in the small square in front.
"The emperor, don't hurt yourself, just let the guard come and try." Knowing the power of the grenade, Qian Dafu was anxious for Xiao Ming.
For him, this is a bomb.
Xiao Ming ignored Qian Dafu, the protection measures of this grenade were still very comprehensive, just a delay of five seconds was enough for him to avoid danger.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Ming said as he unscrewed the safety cover on the grenade and threw it away. There was a pull wire underneath.
When he got here, he was also a little nervous. After all, he had never used this thing before. He did have the idea of ​​setting up a grenadier before~EbookFREE.me~ but he also knew that Qingzhou’s technology has changed every three years, and he will soon be able to A better and more suitable grenades appeared, so he gave up the grenadier unit because he felt unnecessary.
And now the appearance of the wooden grenade allows every soldier to throw it easily, which can exert its true power.
"Noisy!" Xiao Ming yanked the cord, and immediately cyan smoke appeared from the grenade, and he could even hear the sound of the fuse burning.
Upon seeing this, he threw the wooden grenade abruptly.
"Boom!" A burst of smoke and fire rose 30 meters away, and the shock wave of the grenade exploded directly towards the turf on the grass.
Qian Dafu paled with fright and almost did not sit on the ground, while a large number of guards swarmed in because of the huge movement.
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Ming and Chen Qi laughed heartlessly. There was a small shallow crater where the grenade exploded, which was caused by the power of the grenade explosion.
They are very satisfied with the power of the grenade.
"It's very good. In this case, we should produce as soon as possible. Now the battle in the South needs grenades to open the deadlock, and it can also reduce the casualties of the soldiers." Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.
Chen Qi responded, arched his body and walked out, preparing to focus on this matter during this time.
A smile appeared on Xiao Ming's face when Chen Qi was sent away.
The wooden handle grenade was born, and the thermal power plant project has been launched. After countless dark nights, he will soon be able to see the light of electricity.
Once electricity is available, more scientific and technological items will be born, and he believes that the technology of the country will always lead the world.
Even if the six who escaped taught all their knowledge to the Europeans, they would not be able to catch up with the speed of the Great Yu Country, because it was not him who was working alone, but the thousands of students working together.
