Demonstration of all weapons
"The power is so great, even more fierce than nitroglycerin." King Qian sighed.
"This gasoline is refined from crude oil." Shang Wen explained.
"Oh, there's such a powerful thing in the Blazing Oil?" King Xuan hastily asked.
"No, this is gasoline that I extracted from crude oil. Gasoline itself is flammable, and I just added some fibers like cotton to it, making it dissolve in the process, forming a sticky substance. This makes it very easy to ignite, and then I added explosives to make it even more explosive. When it explodes, the sticky gasoline can also be ignited. Under the force of the explosion, splashes fly everywhere, just like what you see now." Shang Wen explained while gesturing.
Wang Jian nodded and listened.
"Can this petrol bomb be equipped with our Great Qin army?" Wang Jian asked again.
"This can work, as long as there's a lot of gasoline and processing. However, we need to collect the willow cotton quickly now, otherwise it'll be hard to make after this season." Shang Wen said regretfully.
"This is easy to say. I will now submit a memorial, requesting Your Majesty to collect this thing." Wang Jian said with full confidence.
"That's good, that's good." Shang Wen let out a sigh of relief and said.
"It is said that you have many more extraordinary weapons, I wonder if you can show them to us generals." Wang Jian continued.
"That's easy. I've already had Lord Sima Chang make it. Let's go take a look." said Shang Wen.
Many generals came to the Qin State's armory. Shang Wen now could only think that such a place was called an armory, because it was still far from industrialized mass production. This distance could only be bridged step by step by himself.
Simachen arrived early outside to wait. After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Jian directly went to inspect the weapons first.
The crowd came to an open space.
Simachang came to Shangwen and said, "Sir, I made some slight changes to the hand grenade material you produced. The iron explosive part was changed to bronze. What do you think, sir?"
"Bronze?" Shang Wen asked in surprise.
"Yes, sir. This is mainly because the iron tools of our Great Qin are primarily used for farming, and now it's just the right time for spring planting, so......" Sima Chang said with a mixture of fear and respect, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
"What's the effect like?" Shang Wen asked directly.
"Not one bit inferior to iron-made ones!" Sima Chang hastily said.
"That's it. What about production?" Shang Wen asked again.
"Daily production capacity is 150 hand grenades, 50 sets of stirrups and horseshoes, 10 iron swords, and 15 iron knives." Sima Chang reported hastily.
Shang Wen comforted him by saying: "It's all right now. Take it easy."
Shang Wen did not blame him. Sima was already very good.
Shang Wen, however, had a different plan. According to the current production rate, it's faster than I expected. It can be compared to large-scale machine production. But there is still a big gap, and who knows how many years it will take now. Looking at this momentum, I estimate that we will soon enter the Qin state unification war. We need to manufacture a set of machines as soon as possible. That good one, currently no coal has been found. It's estimated that there isn't any in this era either, and the location of Qin is adjacent to Shanxi. It seems like Taiyuan is also part of Qin. Can try looking for it. Charcoal can also work. As long as it can boil water. Haha, steam engine is all set. The first technological revolution was him, now we have you leading the vanguard again. This way, not only military production can be used, but also trains, ships, and steel smelting that can be done by hand. Just thinking about it makes me feel... haha.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of explosions interrupted Shang Wen's thoughts.
Look up. Oh my god.
Only to see, Wang Jian continuously threw several hand grenades. The arm strength of the ancient people was not ordinary, lightly and easily throwing 40-50 meters. The behind Wang Bi was also like this. And some generals behind him. Shang Wen looked at it and felt that these guys were a bit extravagant. In just a short while, they had thrown so many. Sima Chang looked at it with a painful expression. Shang Wen himself looked at it and felt the pain.
"This grenade is awesome." Wang Jian looked at the grenade and burst into applause.
"This thing can be used not only in attacking and defending a city, but also when encountering an enemy's pursuit. Just throw it backwards and the enemy won't be able to advance," said Wang Jian.
"Right, General. We can also make it a trap. The lieutenant just saw that the grenade has another pull ring. We only need to fix the grenade and tie a rope to it. This way we can set up an ambush and bury the enemy troops. Let them come but not return." A deputy general-like person said.
My goodness. Even a novice like Lei can think of it, I have to admire the command of the ancient people. Especially these Qin army generals. The quality is not ordinary high. Accepting new things so quickly. So soon they can think of so many ways to use them. Admire, admire! I thought I had to write a tutorial to assist teaching. Didn't expect. These things directly saved me the trouble. Shang Wen thinks so.
The generals then witnessed the power of the explosives package. They all had a common understanding that in the future, when attacking cities, they could blow up the city gates or directly blast down the city walls.
That's for sure. The city walls of ancient people were all rammed earth. If they used steel and concrete later, the explosive package could also be easily handled.
In short, all the generals' views are quite active. It seems that Qin Guo's years of war have made the military officers very experienced.
Many generals then mounted their horses equipped with stirrups and horseshoes. They all felt very good. On horseback, they began to discuss some combat tactics and dispositions of war situations, etc. These were not taken seriously by Shang Wen at all.
Shang Wen feels that he is now just like returning to the United States. Some senior generals and heads of arms departments conduct some weapons testing before using a weapon.
What I'm doing now is like that, the only difference being that it's a national product. And mass production started without any testing at all. My god, war is quite an incentive.
I estimate that our next step will be a large-scale improvement of production equipment. Judging from the current situation, steam engines and machine tools are now essential.
The generals were a bit reluctant to get off their horses. Some wanted to ride for a while, but when they saw Wang Jian also getting off, they didn't dare to be presumptuous. Many of the generals' eyes had a hopeful expression, hoping that such equipment would soon be equipped in their own hands. This way, they could establish their own merits in the upcoming war and gain more titles with high honors.
These people are real soldiers. Because they understand that weapons are a soldier's second life, and can see the revolutionary way of fighting brought by new weapons.
