Chapter 66: Zhen Tianlei

The next day, an emergency military situation came from Daying.
Fu Tingye immediately rushed back to the Qingzhou camp and did not go to test weapons with Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan.
The place to go this time was very remote, and Fu Tingye told Hua Qingxue before leaving, to take all the guards with him to protect.
The carriage moved forward without any hassle, Li Jingnan sat in the carriage, curiously playing with the iron ball in his hand.
He changed his left hand to the right, and asked, "This thing is called Zhen Tianlei? Will it be as powerful as thunder?"
"Well... it's true." Hua Qingxue replied hesitantly.
She hasn't tried the power of weapons yet, so it's not as good as a thunder, so it's hard to draw conclusions.
After waiting for the test, she can know whether the proportion of the gunpowder inside needs to be adjusted, as well as the length of the lead and the thickness of the shell, which need to be corrected over and over again in the test.
In fact, Zhen Tianlei was a gunpowder weapon that appeared in the late Northern Song Dynasty. It had a round belly, filled with gunpowder, wrapped in pig iron on the outside, and fitted with leads. After detonation, the pig iron shell would explode into pieces!
Although at first glance it looks rough, it looks like an iron ball, but the effect is basically equivalent to a modern grenade!
Hua Qingxue knows the best ratio, but the conditions are limited. The purification effect of each material cannot be compared with modern, because the purity is different, so the ratio becomes less rigorous and precise, she can only estimate a few Different ratios to compensate for errors caused by different purity.
The guard escorted the carriage to the foot of the mountain.
Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan went up the mountain first and climbed the high to facilitate them to watch the detonation effect.
The bodyguard sent Zhentian Lei of different proportions to the corresponding location, each about 30 meters apart, and then placed three wooden men wrapped in armor near Zhentian Lei.
Hua Qingxue held a pen and paper, marked the serial number on the paper according to the location of each thunderstorm, wrote down the ratio, and signaled the guards around him to start detonating.
everything's ready.
The guard on the hillside raised a red flag high, and the people on the hillside immediately began to act, and quickly evacuated after lighting the lead!
Li Jingnan clenched his fists tightly, his heart almost mentioned his throat!
Hua Qingxue also looked dignified.
She is good at talking on paper, but after all, she stays on theory and will encounter various situations in actual action...
boom! Boom, boom, boom, boom! ...
Explosions sounded one after another! Deafening!
Hua Qingxue opened his eyes in an instant, and wrote down the serial number of Zhentianlei, which had the biggest flame.
Everyone else looked shocked, Rao was mentally prepared, but never thought the power of this thing was so great!
Li Jingnan's face turned red with excitement, grabbing Hua Qingxue's hand and shouted: "It's Zhen Tianlei! Really Zhen Tianlei! It feels like the whole mountain is moving!"
Hua Qingxue smiled and said to the stunned bodyguard on the side: "Let the people below determine whether all explosions, whether there are dumb cannons. "
"Yes!" The bodyguard turned and left, spreading the message down the mountain.
Li Jingnan was still too excited to hug himself, actually hugged the little bean behind him, "Little bean! Do you see it?! Really Zhen Tianlei! Isn't it? Is it?"
Xiaodou was pale, and was dizzy by Li Jingnan's shaking, "Minions...Minions tinnitus... The emperor said that it was indeed Zhentianlei..."
"Okay, don't worry about the little beans." Hua Qingxue pulled the two away with a smile. She sympathized with the little eunuch, but she was only five or six years older than Li Jingnan and a half-old child. It is not easy to take care of the little emperor.
Hua Qingxue took Li Jingnan's hand, "Let's go down to see the explosion site."
"it is good!"
A group of people went down the mountain. Li Jingnan was running and jumping. He was so excited that he wanted to go down the mountain immediately.
The people under the mountain have finished measuring the distance. Seeing Hua Qingxue and others going down the mountain, Bi Gongdi respectfully presented the measurement results.
"Girl Hua, the inventory has been completed, a total of eleven Zhentianlei were successfully detonated."
Hua Qingxue took the page that recorded the distance measurement and looked closely.
Li Jingnan also stretched his neck and looked at her, "Which is the most powerful? Which, which?"
Hua Qingxue made a silent conversion in his heart. The explosion range of these thunderbolts was about five to eight meters.
She looked mediocre and said, "Let's go and see the situation of the dummy first."
Which is more powerful, not only depends on the explosion range, but also depends on the blasting force, so Hua Qingxue let people put wooden men at a distance of three meters, five meters, and eight meters.
They inspected the damage of the dummy from the first explosion site.
Basically, the three-meter and five-meter dummies are all torn apart, and the armor on the body is also exploded! Although the 8-meter dummy fell to the ground, it was only slightly injured, and the place wrapped in armor was unscathed.
As a result, everyone was pleasantly surprised, thinking that this thing could easily blow through the sturdy armor!
Hua Qingxue was not satisfied.
The noise is really loud... If only the startling horse is considered, then this effect is enough.
But from the point of view of the damage of the wooden dummy, there is an absolute lethal rate within five meters, more than five meters will only be injured, and more than ten meters, it will not have any lethality...
Judging from the standard of grenades, the explosion range of five to eight meters is very reasonable, but the problem is that in order to ensure the effect, Hua Qingxue's batches of thunderbolts are almost as large as bowling balls!
The volume is ten times that of a grenade, but the effect is almost the same. What does this mean?
It seems that the purity of gunpowder is still not enough...
Hua Qingxue sighed silently in his heart. No wonder Daqi's gunpowder weapons had little development. It seems that the reason lies in purification technology. It is precisely because the purity is not enough, which directly affects the power of blasting.
She lowered her head to make a record on the paper, and then looked up and found that a circle of people stared at her with strange expressions.
Hua Qingxue laughed, "What's wrong with you? See what I do?"
Li Jingnan looked at her face and said, "Looking at you...it seems not very satisfied..."
They are all stunned! I feel this is the power of splitting the stone and breaking the gold that only the gods have! As a result, Hua Qingxue didn't even blink, even frowned--
She was not satisfied? ? ?
Hua Qingxue just smiled lightly and put away the pen and paper, "Well, after all, it is a semi-finished product, and its power is limited."
Li Jingnan swallowed and asked her in amazement: "You mean... can it be more powerful than this?"
"Huh." Hua Qingxue remembered the difficulty of purification and nodded faintly. "I'll think of a way."
Li Jingnan rushed over! Embrace her, "Hua Qingxue! You are so amazing!!!"
Hua Qingxue was taken aback by him and couldn't help but smile. "I just tried it. Fortunately, the materials are sufficient, otherwise I can only make it difficult for the woman to cook without rice. In the future, you will have to ask the emperor for help."
Li Jingnan grabbed her and lifted her small face and said: "Relax! You just do it! How much is done and how much material is not enough I will call on the whole country to help you find it!"
Hua Qingxue touched his head with a smile, "The folk girl would like to thank the emperor."
Li Jingnan is in a good mood, squinting like a cat with smooth hair.
Xiaodouzi swiftly withdrew his gaze, only to feel terrified, and dared not to look again with his head down!
Touching the emperor's head... Such a disrespectful move, even the queen mother never did...
...
Li Jingnan saw the power of Zhentianlei, a semi-finished product, and was in a great mood, and could not wait to inform Fu Tingye of this good news!
Hua Qingxue also happened to want to go to Qingzhou Camp, remembering that Fu Tingye was called away by the emergency military situation, she was always a little uneasy.
They got on the carriage, did not return to Panshui City, and went directly to the direction of Qingzhou Daying.
As we approached the barracks, we saw many wounded soldiers returning one after another.
Some of them with minor injuries helped each other to return to the camp, while others with serious injuries lay on a stretcher. Life and death were unknown. Several military doctors took care of them back and forth. These people formed a long team.
Li Jingnan's face suddenly changed!
"What's the matter?! Liao Bing has struck?" Li Jingnan lifted the carriage curtain and shouted at the driver in front of him. "Come on! I want to see Fu Tingye immediately!"
Hua Qingxue's hands clenched unconsciously.
When she thought that Fu Tingye was on the battlefield with no sword, she was in a panic. At this moment, she realized that the man had already occupied an important part in her heart.
The guards arranged by Fu Tingye for Hua Qingxue had the pass of the military camp. They got out of the carriage and went straight to the camp.
Many soldiers gathered at the camp at the moment, Hua Qingxue and Li Jingnan suddenly rushed in, everyone was stunned.
Several of them recognized Li Jingnan’s face and knew that this was the newly emperor’s emperor. He was about to salute, but Li Jingnan had rushed to Fu Tingye and asked anxiously,
What’s going on? Why are there so many wounded soldiers outside?! We lost Are we losing again?!"
Hua Qingxue stared at the blood stains on Fu Tingye's body, thinking uneasy in his heart: Is it his blood... or the blood of others? Is he hurt...
Qin Laowu explained uncomfortably: "Emperor, this time there are many soldiers in Liao..."
Li Jingnan's face was green, as if unacceptable. "So we lost again? How many people did we... die?"
Fu Tingye said with a blank expression: "The emperor is careful to say that winning or losing can't make a final conclusion on this. We repel the 60,000 soldiers of Liao Bing with 40,000 troops. Even if there are casualties, we should never use loss as the assessment. I am afraid it will affect me. Morale."
Li Jingnan was stunned and turned to look at Qin Laowu.
Qin Laowu nodded, "The general is right. This time the Liao soldiers attacked Phoenix Hill. The cavalry used the high ground to make an extraordinary impact. Fortunately, the general had already prepared and arranged 20,000 archers in advance to finally repel these. Liao Bing, as for death and injury... are inevitable."
With 40,000 against 60,000, it would be impossible to guard without a soldier.
Li Jingnan's small face was tight, and resentment flashed in his eyes! Turned and ran to Hua Qingxue before shouting: "Hua Qingxue! We use Zhen Tian Lei! Now use Zhen Tian Lei to get revenge on them! I will kill them! I will kill them!!!"
He was screaming and scratching again, and he was like a kid who was robbed of toys and ran away!
"Emperor!" Hua Qingxue suddenly drank him, "You calm down!"
Everyone in the camp account was shocked and looked at Hua Qingxue in a daze.
She... dare to call the emperor? !
Don't want to live?
