AWB Chapter 1380
Chapter 1380
Zhu Yunwen gave the order, and Wang Jinnian accepted it and retreated again to give commands.
Ma Sanbao stared intently at the five cannons.
The operators, just like the Shenji Battalion before them, took out larger gunpowder packs and cannonballs, filled them into the cannon barrel, and then lit the fuse...
"boom--"
"Boom boom boom boom——"
Immediately, five deafening sounds exploded in the empty training ground; the sound alone was enough to terrify anyone.
Then, in the distance, sand and stones flew up and dust billowed, and a large area in front was instantly covered by a vast expanse of yellow sand, which was magnificent!
See this scene.
Ma Sanbao couldn't help but sigh, "The cannons of today... although they are more refined and thinner in appearance than the original bowl-shaped cannons... their range and power are completely incomparable to ordinary bowl-shaped cannons! Most importantly... they can even control the point of impact by adjusting the angle of the barrel!!!"
"Great stuff! It really is great stuff!"
"If it can truly be combined with warships... our Great Ming Dynasty... will undoubtedly be the sun that never sets on the sea! No matter if there are demons or monsters on the sea, no one can stop us!"
"Good! Just like the flintlock muskets in the hands of the Divine Machine Battalion, there is not a large amount of gunpowder residue in the barrel... The operating procedure is much quicker and simpler!"
"Naval guns are not just a pipe dream!!"
"With these critical issues resolved... the only remaining task is to consider the size of the ships, the size of the artillery, and their mounting locations..."
"..."
Ma Sanbao had always been thinking and pondering with the goal of going to sea and sailing far away. The ships that Chu Hai wanted to use were all tested and improved by him personally. When he saw the latest version of the cannon, he was almost carried away, and his mind was only on how to install the cannon on the ship he designed.
He witnessed firsthand the procedures and effects of using the artillery.
My mind naturally began to clear away my previous concerns and unreasonable expenditures one by one, and I became more and more excited as I talked...
They desperately wanted to design this thing onto their own ships immediately.
Seeing Ma Sanbao's anxious appearance.
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "You can ask them for these specific data and scales later, or have them design and modify them according to your needs... that's all fine."
Hearing his master's voice.
Ma Sanbao finally came to his senses and realized that he had really lost his composure and even his manners. He could only immediately restrain his excitement and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I lost my composure."
Zhu Yunwen put his hands behind his back and chuckled, "How could I not know that you did this for the Ming Dynasty? There's no need to apologize."
After saying that, he loudly instructed Wang Jinnian, who was in charge of command at the front, "Make them stop. I already have a plan in mind."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Wang Jinnian said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. He then made a gesture to the person next to the five cannons.
"Have them all come over; I have something to instruct them on," Zhu Yunwen added.
Wang Jinnian replied, "Your humble servant obeys the decree."
As Wang Jinnian went to summon people, Zhu Yunwen's gaze sharpened as he looked at the five cannons that had been placed. He said to Ma Sanbao, "Sanbao, for this first batch of ships, I want you to focus on combat and offensive capabilities first. Preparations for ultra-long-distance voyages can be put aside for now."
Hearing what Zhu Yunhuan said.
Ma Sanbao frowned slightly, a look of confusion on his face: "But didn't His Majesty say... that I should sail out to the Americas, where resources are abundant, and bring back all the things His Majesty wants?"
He didn't quite understand his master's sudden arrangement; it wasn't what he'd been told before.
However, before Zhu Yunwen could say anything more...
Ma Sanbao seemed to have realized what was going on and said, "Your Majesty wants to... have a battle at sea first?"
