The 24th Minister Wu looked at the flying bullet
"Your Majesty, this rocket's power is really formidable." The princess walked over and said to Qin Wang.
"Yes, it's so far away that I don't even dare to think about it. The crossbows of my Great Qin are the strongest in the world today, and their range is also the longest, but I didn't expect... Mr. Qin's rocket arrows not only have a long range, but they also surpass the distance that all the crossbows of my Great Qin cannot reach, it's really unimaginable." King Qin waved his hand and shook his head.
"And its power is immense, Your Majesty." Qin Wang stopped him.
"I know what you want to do. You want to equip that woman's team with this weapon, don't you? I won't allow it. Last time, you even brought hand grenades into the palace to play around. You have no idea how powerful those things are. What if someone gets blown up? I won't allow it." The King of Qin immediately refused.
The princess wanted to say something. Meng Tian came before the King of Qin and said: "Your Majesty, General Wang Jian and others have come to see you."
"What's going on?" King Qin asked.
"It seems to be for rocket projectiles." Meng Tian said hesitantly.
"Why is this?" King Qin asked.
"I thought it was in the northern suburbs. Although there were few people, but after all, it was too close to the city, so when the citizens inside the city heard the continuous explosions, they mistakenly thought it was thunder." Meng Tian said with a bow.
"This is what I, the monarch, have neglected to consider. The rocket's power is enormous, and I should have given Mr. Qin a special venue long ago. It was neglect on my part." King Qin said with a wave of his hand.
"Zhao Gao, convey the emperor's orders to quickly find another quiet and secluded place for Mr. Qin. Also, dispatch a large number of soldiers to guard it." The King of Qin instructed Zhao Gao.
"Yes." Zhao Gao replied respectfully, slowly bowing his body and backing away, then went to make arrangements.
"The experiment of this rocket projectile is not over yet." What does Wang Shang mean?" asked Meng Tian with a bow.
"All right, let's arrange it first at Beishan. Also invite Wenwu and others to come and watch."
"Yes." Meng Tian cupped his hands in response.
Meng Tian went ahead to make arrangements.
Shang Wen did not know all this. Shang Wen was still checking the points one by one, calculating the distance of the launch point, the affected area, and the angle of launch. Unfortunately, there was no clock. If there was a clock, he could also roughly calculate the speed, even if it was inaccurate. It was better than nothing.
Shang Wen held a ruler in one hand and a pen and paper in the other, measuring and drawing at the same time. The princess found this scene very strange and thought that Shang Wen was quite odd. With strength that couldn't even truss a chicken, he could actually create such powerful and massive weapons. She couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.
I've got the first-hand information. That's all I need. Shang Wen is a master craftsman. Meng Tian came over to inform us that the experimental site needs to be changed to the north slope, and heard the reason. I think it's really ridiculous. In modern times, Shang Wen's experimental site is just a desolate Gobi Desert. You can play however you want. Now, I don't want to disturb the ancients anymore. Can't help but shake my head.
Arriving at the northern slope, all the literary and military officials had already arrived. The King of Qin and the princess sat at a safe distance. However, this distance from the launch site was a bit far. Mainly considering safety, everyone knew the power of rocket projectiles. So, they didn't dare to get any closer.
Look at this distance. Shang Wen said with a smile, "I should make a telescope for all of you masters. It would be much more convenient."
Meng Tian heard what Shang Wen said and took over the conversation, saying: "What is a telescope?"
"It's Thousand Mile Eyes. Thousand Mile Eyes. Hurry up, everyone. All the experts are getting impatient." Shang Wen hastily interjected. But in his heart, he thought to himself: I didn't expect that unintentionally extracting sodium carbonate would give us a lead on glass. With glass, we can now manufacture telescopes.
Preparations are complete. Shang Wen is ready to ignite. The princess doesn't know how she ran over. Insisting on igniting, let's see the power of this rocket projectile.
Helpless. Give this girl a lighter. She doesn't even want it. I have one myself.
Shang Wen didn't bother to argue. He hid in a large pit and recorded the trajectory situation, as well as the flight situation of the rocket projectile.
The princess quickly lit the fire. Suddenly jumped into the pit. The rocket bomb began to launch. Still twenty rounds. "Whoosh", launched in a stormy wind and rain. It was just a blink of an eye.
Gunpowder smoke began drifting over. Having learned from the previous experience, several people did not have to suffer from the bitter smoke again this time.
Meng Tian glanced in the direction of Wen Wu. Excitedly, he nudged Shang Wen: "Quickly look, they're both scared." Shang Wen felt it didn't make any sense.
Start doing the next experiment.
Shoulder-fired rocket grenade.
Looking at the relatively small projectile. The diameter is only two feet and three feet in size. Launched using a rocket tube. However, considering the problem of smoke and dust. Afraid of scorching the launch personnel. So a bracket was used, unfortunately, no bracket was made before, so it was temporarily placed on a case, pressed with a few stones.
Ignition. The princess is still on this time. This guy is full of interest.
However, the experimental results were not satisfactory.
After ignition, the trajectory of the flying bullet was very unstable. In the end, it fell to the ground and exploded like a headless fly. The King of Qin and Wen Wu on the viewing platform were also puzzled. Shang Wen didn't care about them. This is an experiment, not a product demonstration.
The one just tested was a small model. The effect is very poor, Shang Wen continues to test the larger model.
Lighting the fuse, a "whoosh" sound was heard as the projectile flew out, only over a hundred meters away, clearly not the result Shang Wen had seen.
Meng Tian let out a sigh. He also felt sorry for the range of the missile. Shang Wen was obviously prepared, but it's hard to say what. After all, technical conditions are crucial. It's already difficult enough to develop such missiles. Little did he know that the smaller things were, the harder they were to study, mainly because many technical supports were needed. Shang Wen was able to develop rocket missiles, which was not easy either.
The princess saw such a result and was obviously very dissatisfied. She said disdainfully: "What is this thing? It's useless at all, look at me."
The princess placed the launch tube at a certain angle on the ground. The raised part was fixed with a case. Ignite. The rocket flew up with a "whoosh". A perfect parabola.
Got it. Shang Wen secretly sighed in his heart. Originally, he invented this thing as a flat-shooting weapon, but now this little girl has turned it into a mortar for him. It's become a curved trajectory weapon. The data of such a curved trajectory weapon is not something that ordinary people can collect. This is a cannon. Shang Wen was obviously somewhat displeased in his heart.
The princess returned with a smile. Meng Tian didn't forget to pay his respects and said, "With the princess's strength, this small rocket can be launched three hundred paces away. Even the strongest crossbow cannot shoot that far."
The princess didn't forget to strike Shang Wen a blow. Patting Shang Wen's shoulder, she said: "How about it? My idea can be compared with yours." Shang Wen burst into tears.
I designed rocket launchers, you changed them into mortars.
Shang Wen said bluntly: "Princess, this is a launch tube I designed, but you've modified it into a mortar."
"What's wrong with this? That's it. You can change it again. I want this thing." The princess said generously.
"It must be of high quality. Not like those guys led by Sima Chang, the hand grenades they made didn't even explode." The princess had already turned and left.
