Chapter 13

Song Chen waved the order flag, and a loud "bang" sounded, and a lead bullet rotated at a high speed and shot towards a target a hundred meters away.

This gunshot indicates that the entire human race will change in the way of war. This gunshot officially announced to the world that the age of hot weapons has arrived!

The world will tremble in the sound of gunfire, and a huge change is coming!

The target of the first bullet is composed of a thick iron plate with ten regular circles on it. The lead bullet is in the center of the rake, leaving a larger circular hole.

Even after piercing through the thick iron plate, he rushed forward for dozens of meters before falling down.

The senior officials of the Song Dynasty who were sitting in the high stands were shocked. The power was far beyond their imagination. The skull emitted by a small iron pipe actually had such a terrifying force, which subverted their understanding.

To be honest, even at the solemn moment of the gun test, these senior officials were careless and lazy, not paying much attention to the new firearm. Everyone was still talking to each other and talking to each other. It was so lively and it was like a party.

If the Southern Song Dynasty also had mobile phones and WeChat, perhaps these senior officials would probably play with selfies and browse their circle of friends.

To be honest, everyone didn't care much about this gun test. It seemed that they came here with the mood to complete the task. Because of military weapons and national affairs, they must come and see them. After a while, they handed over some "results" to the official family. Hello, I, everyone, and they both knew each other tacitly.

I came here just to show my attitude and prove to the court that I did not have a corpse position in the official position, so I still did the work.

When the strong man from the Imperial City Department ran to them and told them that the new firearm had a "huge" breakthrough, my mother, this is not huge, and the wording of the report was inappropriate. Because of the huge breakthrough, they heard countless times, and their ears were calloused, so naturally they didn't pay much attention to it.

This time, there is no trick at all!

This strong man who reported the news was not competent at all, and he didn't even have one percent of the eloquence of other reports. Look at how sensible those people talked about a breakthrough that was not a breakthrough at all!

In addition, the Imperial City Department's involvement in the manufacturing of weapons did not surprise them at all. If he doesn't care about other people's business, he is not Chen Buer anymore. When one day, Chen, the big boss, is in charge of other people's business, they will be surprised then.

I thought that like the usual routine, the weapon was only a little improvement, which made it possible for both the top and bottom to make sense, hello, I, hello everyone.

No one is a fool. I guess it’s just a little bit about the amount of gunpowder. If the bamboo tube is thicker, soak more tung oil, so that you can put more gunpowder at one time, so that the range of the Zike will be farther.

This is not the first time, nor will it be the last time.

Doing this is nothing more than defrauding the imperial court’s reward. No, it is to obtain the reward, and obtain it openly. Can the affairs of the literati and officials be said to be cheated?

In fact, all this kind of thing turns a blind eye, close one, and even quietly encourages them to do so, because they will also be recognized by the court, and there is another political achievement in performance evaluation (except for: Ministry of Personnel’s investigation).

The border affairs are in a tight spot now, Xiangyang has been surrounded for three years, and the entire Yangtze River defense line is not far from collapse. It is indeed necessary to have some good news to inspire people.

Of course, the most important reason is that everyone here understands that everyone will increase their political capital. Hello, I, everyone’s good things, why not do it!

This is the officialdom of the Song Dynasty!

No one thought that this improvement was real. Compared with the previous bamboo guns, it was really in the sky and underground.

How thick the iron plate is, at least half a finger, and the armor of the heavy Mongolian cavalry is nothing more than that. The skull emitted by the iron pipe can penetrate the iron plate at once, which means that the heavy armor of the enemy can be penetrated by a hundred steps away!

It's simply a magic weapon.

"Look at it one hundred and fifty steps away!" The military weapon supervisor in the middle of the stands was the most excited. He was a middle-aged scholar with a handsome face and a dignified appearance. His voice was trembling. He saw a glimmer of hope in the Song Dynasty from this weapon. Only those with a pure heart would be so excited.

Song Chen had a feeling that this handsome man was definitely a person who could be famous throughout the ages.

The one who tested the gun was Monk Li, a guy who seemed useless, when he shot the first shot, Song Chen was surprised to find Monk Li's sniper talent, and secretly thanked that he did not drive him away very snobbishly.

The moment he picked up the gun, Monk Li also found his own path in life. He gently pulled the sheet machine, and the fuse that had been burning slowly entered the black gunpowder wrapped in yellow paper. The gunpowder ignited, and after a slightly dazzling fire.

The sound rang out, and the center of the rake was pierced through the iron plate again!

"Two Hundred Steps"

"Two hundred and fifty steps"

"Three Hundred Steps"

Still pierced through the iron plate, the people in the field were silent, and no one made a noise except for the gunshots.

The middle-aged scholar with a jade-like face was so excited that he could not describe it in words. If all this was not as fraud as before, this small weapon would have played an unimaginable role in the war!

Official rules, official etiquette, personal fame and fortune are gone. At this moment, the middle-aged scholar only has the iron spear that is still smoking in his eyes.

"I'll go and see this iron plate!" The middle-aged scribe tried hard to make himself sound as majestic as usual, but his trembling voice betrayed him.

A very sharp knife was drawn from the sergeant beside him. It was dazzling under the sunlight, and his elegant image was no longer there. At this time, he looked like an angry general, ready to have a life-and-death battle with the enemy.

Everything needs to be cut a few times in person to determine the authenticity.

The middle-aged scribe hoped that all this would be true. If that iron plate was a real piece of iron, this weapon would be auspicious for my Song Dynasty.

No, no, no, the range of 300 steps is not fake, and this is just the point, this new weapon is worth promoting. He comforted himself like this, for fear that he would find that all this was fake, and his mood would fall back to the bottom again.

It is normal for middle-aged scholars to think so. The fraud of the entire Southern Song Dynasty has become a "more", so he gave himself a vaccination first.

This makes the mind of worrying about gains and losses clear at a glance. Song Chen looked at this somewhat crazy back. For some reason, he knew from the depths of his heart that this person is very respectable. Only those who care about the world will lose their composure under this situation.

The elegant scholar, holding a hundred-refined steel knife, cut hard at the iron plate. One, two, three, each of them splashed sparks until his arm was numb and the knife was shaken out, landing on the ground, and directly inserted on the bluestone slab.
