RPAGF Chapter 258: Look, my third brother is just an iron ingot, and he is fine.
Chapter 258: Look, my third brother is just an iron ingot, and he is fine.
The emperor was very happy to hear Long Xianxian's thoughts.
After all, the artillery developed by Jiang Si before was extremely powerful.
Emperor: "Present it quickly!"
Then Godley showed the manuscript to the emperor.
The emperor took it, and Long Xianxian stood up on the dragon throne, almost the same height as the emperor. The two of them couldn't wait to look at it.
Sure enough, there really was the hand throwing the cannonball that Long Xianxian had been expecting!
[Wow, this hand-thrown cannonball is awesome! It's small and exquisite, and it explodes just by pulling out the fuse. If this were used in a close combat on the battlefield, it would definitely explode.]
Emperor: My daughter is right, this hand throwing the cannonball is very skillful.
The emperor wanted to keep a few of them by his side.
[Hey, what's this little round thing? There's a matching weapon next to it.]
The emperor was also confused, so he asked, "Jiang Si, can you introduce these weapons?"
Jiang Si: "Yes!"
Jiang Si said it in the order in which the pictures were given.
"Your Majesty, the first one is a hand-throwing bomb. Just pull the fuse and throw it."
"The second one is a firearm. You can put shrunken metal bullets inside it, allowing for close-range attacks. It's much faster than a bow and arrow. And it's very difficult to extract a person who's been shot!"
"For the third one, based on the firearm, I designed the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. You can put hand-thrown bullets into them, and dozens of bullets can be fired continuously, causing continuous damage to a large area!"
After Jiang Si finished speaking, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.
Can this weapon be made like this?
Last time, the ministers had seen artillery, but they didn't expect that explosives could be made into hand-thrown bombs.
Although they had no idea, the image in everyone's mind was the continuous firing of artillery. It was so shocking!
Long Xianxian’s eyes lit up immediately!
[Wow, this girl is so awesome! These things are awesome, but I don't know how effective they are. Father, should we go to the armory and take a look?]
Of course, the emperor also wanted to see the real effects of these weapons.
"Okay, Lord Jiang, you're really talented. Have you developed this thing?"
Jiang Si: "Your Majesty, I have successfully developed it. If Your Majesty has time, I will show it to you."
The emperor said: "This is the end of today's morning court session. I will go and take a look."
After the emperor finished speaking, he selected some military generals and important officials in the court, and followed Jiang Si to the Military Construction Department.
So, a large group of people left the palace again.
It’s not that Jiang Si doesn’t want to show it in the palace, but the weapons she made are different from traditional weapons. It would be bad if they blew up the palace.
Soon, the group arrived at the Weaponry Department.
Jiang Si: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will have someone prepare something!"
Emperor: “Good!”
Afterwards, people from the Military Construction Department arranged chairs for the emperor to sit down and rest.
Long Xianxian looked around and found a row of cannons placed to the south of the Military Manufacturing Department.
These cannons seem to be different from the previous ones.
[Eh? Why are those cannons different from the previous ones? They even have wheels!]
The emperor also saw that the shape of the cannon was very strange, and the wheels underneath were made of metal, which made it look very majestic.
The emperor asked, "Is that also a newly developed weapon?"
The guard from the Weaponry Department nearby said, "Your Majesty, this is a weapon that Lord Jiang is still developing, and it hasn't been successfully developed yet!"
[Miss, this is amazing! This cannon has wheels underneath, and it can even run. If it were to be put into motion, it would not only be sturdy, but it would also be able to shoot all the way. That would be awesome! Wouldn't it be nice for soldiers to just hide in the little room underneath the cannon in the future?]
When the emperor heard what his daughter said, he also understood how this weapon was used.
This thing is much more awesome than the Iron Cavalry.
At this time, Jiang Si came over with the weapon ready.
I didn't expect to hear the little princess's thoughts.
The emperor asked, "Sir Jiang, those new weapons over there look much more convenient than the previous artillery."
Jiang Si: "Your Majesty, yes, I have improved the previous artillery. I believe that fixed artillery is easily restricted, and after being exposed to rain, the artillery will become damp and unusable. Therefore, I built a storage room under the artillery. Soldiers can also control the direction of the artillery from inside. This can not only prevent enemy attacks, but also compete with the cavalry!"
After hearing this, everyone started talking about it.
Hua Rong: "This is truly a magical weapon. My army of Dayong is short of warhorses to begin with. With this weapon, we are no longer afraid of the enemy's warhorses. Moreover, in a group battle, we can charge into the enemy camp. It's truly powerful!"
General Li, the General of Chariots and Cavalry, was more interested than anyone else: "Master Jiang, please develop it quickly. I, Li, can't wait to try it out!"
Imperial Censor: "General Li, this thing is more stable than a carriage. Your hemorrhoids will definitely be fine."
When talking about General Li's hemorrhoids, everyone burst into laughter.
[Oh, right, has General Li's hemorrhoids healed? Why don't you learn from my third brother? He's as tough as a piece of iron, yet he's fine.]
"Cough cough!"
Hearing this, the third prince coughed twice!
What is an iron ingot? My dear sister, you are talking nonsense!
Although General Li felt a little embarrassed, he looked at the Third Prince humbly. He thought it was necessary for them to have a good communication, after all, their wives were also close friends.
The emperor was speechless. Why did everyone start talking about iron ingots?
Emperor: "Lord Jiang, please start your performance!"
Jiang Si nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I will first demonstrate hand-throwing."
Jiang Si took it out and was about to throw it away, but seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, please cover the little princess's ears!"
The emperor then remembered and covered it for Long Xianxian.
[No, no, Father, I am already an adult. This little cannon noise is nothing!]
Everyone laughed when they heard the little princess's words that she was a smart kid.
But the emperor still did not let go.
At this time, Jiang Si came to the open space, and the house that had been bombed had not been repaired yet.
Feeling that blowing up the house was too costly, Jiang Si had someone prepare a pile of earth.
Then, Jiang Si pulled out the fuse and threw it towards the pile of earth.
As soon as the shell was thrown, Jiang Si was seen holding his head and running behind the crowd.
Everyone was stunned. Why was Lord Jiang running away?
Before everyone could come to their senses, they heard a bang and a huge explosion.
The mound was blown into pieces.
Unfortunately, all the flying dust fell on the ministers.
Fortunately, the guards in front blocked it in time, otherwise the emperor and the little princess would be covered in dust!
When the dust settled, not only was the mound flattened, but there was also a huge pit underneath!
Everyone was shocked!
That thing is so powerful, it’s awesome!
[Fuck, this is exactly what I had in mind when I first started throwing bombs. I wonder how many times this young lady has done this. I really want to hide some of them in my own space!]
When there is danger, just throw it away at any time. The explosion speed is great!
The emperor was very happy: "Good, this hand-throwing bomb is indeed powerful!"
Jiang Sijian ran back happily after the explosion.
Then she came out carrying something that looked like a rain of pear blossom needles.
Everyone looked at Jiang Si in shock. She could actually carry such a large weapon!
Seeing this, Hua Rong stepped forward and said, "Master Jiang, let me help you!"
