"Boss, you said that the boiler was so powerful when it exploded. Can we use this steam to make any weapons?"

"This is also haha." This is when Yang Heng was chatting with several blacksmiths in his spare time, and one of them had been a soldier, so he asked this question.

"Do you have any ideas? Or do you already have some ideas in your mind?" Yang Heng asked curiously. Could it be that he really has any ideas? "Haha, boss, no, I don't have any ideas. I just saw that this thing has such great power when it explodes. If it is made into a weapon, wouldn't it be better?"

Oh, so that's it. It's not that he really has an idea. Yang Heng was a little disappointed, but this is a good suggestion. Although I seem to remember that I had never seen such a weapon in my previous life, it is not impossible to study.

"Success, you're an idea. I'll give you a reward until the end of the month." Although this is an idea and it may not be possible, Yang Heng decided to give him a reward. And this is also a new reward method for the Yang family. As long as you come up with an idea, you must have reasonable and well-founded ideas. Whether it is realized or not, you will be rewarded. If it can be realized, then more rewards will be rewarded. Of course, it is not that you come up with an idea, but you will have to give you a reward. Then this reward is too valuable. It's mainly here. You have to say it with a reasonable and well-founded way. For example, this statement is that it is believed that the boiler explodes very powerful, and you should use this phenomenon to make weapons. That's it.

"Boss, are we just chatting about this? I don't want this kind of reward." "How can this happen? Our Yang family has such a regulation, that as long as you put forward a reasonable idea, we will give you a reward, but if you say that, Boss. Look at how heavy this rain is. If we can create artificial rain, then when we fight, we can give the enemy a rain. Wouldn't we win? This idea will never be rewarded, because it is impossible for us to realize it. It is the realm of gods."

Since he had this idea, Yang Heng began to stare at the steam engine in a daze. Yes, this is a new idea. And this is definitely a weapon that has never been seen before.

Suddenly, Yang Heng remembered a discussion on the Internet in his previous life, that is, there was a war in ancient Greece or more than 800 years ago. There has always been a record that it was said that the battle was won with a mirror, which was to reflect the sunlight on the other party's sailboat. The sailboat caught fire. But it seemed that some researchers studied it. This should not be a battle won with a mirror, but a new weapon, that is, the battle won by steam cannons.

But this is just a study, and Yang Heng also believes that this is not a battle to win with a mirror, but this steam cannon really has no record, so what should be done?

It cannot be said that Yang Heng is not doing his job properly. After Yang Heng arranged the task, he was actually an idle person. Sometimes he could do it with a little guidance. He could not make the steam engine from beginning to end. When the train starts, he still needs to be responsible. If there is a little fault, he will still be looking for him, so he will not be exhausted. In fact, Yang Heng only played an idea and solved the problem. Other things need to be studied by the workers themselves, so that they can do this matter well.

Since it is a steam cannon, it means that this is a cannon. The cannon requires a cannon barrel. It doesn’t have to be too big and can be considered a small caliber barrel. So Yang Heng asked someone to make a small barrel that is more than two feet long and two inches long, but after this cannon is made, how can steam be used to fire projectiles?

It is impossible to connect directly with pipes, so that the projectile is just pushed out of the cannon barrel, but it will not be shot far. How should the cannon work? The cannon has a huge blasting force, and then pushes the projectile at the highest speed along the direction of the cannon barrel.

Blasting force, blasting force, can it first store a potential energy and then suddenly release it? Will the projectile be pushed out faster?

After having this idea, Yang Heng transformed the gun barrel again. First, he installed a high-pressure steam chamber behind the gun barrel, and the projectile was a sealed plug. In front of the projectile was a trigger. Of course, this is not a trigger with his fingers. Oh, it's not a trigger. Hey, it's not a trigger. First, ignite the boiler. When the boiler reaches the pressure, you can use this steam gun. Whenever the pressure of the steam chamber behind the gun barrel is the same as the pressure of the boiler, you can turn off the boiler switch, then aim, quickly pull the trigger, and a projectile flew out at high speed. Although this cannot be used as a field battle, it is definitely a good thing to defend the city. However, this projectile must be prepared enough, and the projectile is solid, and the power is a bit small, so you don't have to try it hollow.

"Study Wen, what did you ask me to do in a mysterious way? What fun is there?" "Your Majesty, you will know when you arrive. This time it's not far away, right on the city wall there."

With good things, we naturally have to share with Li Er first. Yang Heng set up this cannon on the city wall on the south.

"You asked me to see this. Isn't this the boiler you mentioned? Did you put one in the palace? What's so good about this?"

"Your Majesty, I'm not asking you to see this boiler, I'm asking you to see this thing connected to the boiler." Yang Heng pointed to several cannons on the city wall and said.

"Isn't this just a few tubes of varying lengths and thicknesses? What's the one you put outside? That's the target?"

Yes, after Yang Heng's improvement, several types of cannons have been made. This is much stronger than that powerful crossbow. This is a weapon for range strikes.

"Your Majesty, you'd better take a look first and prepare to start. Your Majesty, I'll command first."

Soon, the boiler started to burn. When the pressure was reached, "report to the instructor, the artillery test team was ready, whether to start?" "Start."

The cannon is flat, and there is a loading hole on the cannon. Whenever it is loading, it will lift an iron plate on it and then put the projectile in. The cannon barrel can be adjusted up, down, left and right at a level of more than 30 degrees, "Inflatable," "Prepare," "Bang," as if some plug was pulled out, and then a projectile was quickly rushed to a target 150 steps outside the city, "Boom." This turned out to be a flowering bullet, and some targets around the target were blown up and down.

"Prepare to prepare," "Show off" a few more sounds of pulling the plug, and then some sounds of hitting the wooden board. I saw that there were several targets in the distance making some small holes in the targets.

"This?" Li Er was surprised at the scene in front of him. "Your Majesty, this is a steam cannon that I have newly developed. In fact, this is not very useful. However, whether it is siege or defending the city, it is a good thing, and this thing is transported easily."

Yes, transportation is light, and the boiler can be large or small. If you are fighting outside and need to siege the city, you can have to use your small boiler. As long as the pressure is enough, the launch time is just slower. Moreover, Yang Heng really doesn't plan to use this to siege the city, and it will not become the main weapon. It can be used to scare some foreign envoys, but this cost is not very high.
