Chapter 511;

As soon as he said he would leave, the goblin king led the crowd to a heavily guarded cave.

At this time, the cave was full of busy goblins.

When Wang Zhen saw what they were busy with, he was immediately taken aback.

Because what appeared in front of him were steelmaking blast furnaces and goblin craftsmen who were casting things with molten iron.

Moreover, he clearly saw that what the goblins used to heat was actually coal.

I didn't expect the goblins to master the basics of industry so early.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen couldn't help thinking.

"Hey, everyone, this is the iron-making equipment invented by our goblins."

"We call it an iron smelting furnace. The molten iron smelted by it is not only extremely hard, but also flexible."

While walking, the goblin king pointed to the blast furnaces and said.

When everyone heard it, they realized what those round things were.

After leading everyone through the blast furnace, the goblin king led everyone to the casting area.

Here, Wang Zhen and the others saw those goblins pouring molten iron from the blast furnace into the prepared molds.

After a while, round iron cylinders with a length of two meters and a diameter of about twenty centimeters were made by the group of goblins.

Afterwards, other goblins stepped forward to carry the iron cylinder away.

"Hey, this is part of the casting process of the weapon you will see."

While leading the crowd to continue walking, the goblin king said proudly.

Saying that, the goblin king led the crowd to another cave.

In this cave, there are also many busy goblins. The goblin king took everyone to see, and saw that they were assembling something!

When they finished assembling, Wang Zhen was shocked when he saw it.

Because the things that the group of goblins successfully assembled turned out to be the kind of old-fashioned artillery used in ancient wars on the earth.

"Hey, everyone, this is the weapon I was talking about."

"This weapon, once used, is so powerful that it can break mountains and break rocks! I named it Thunderbolt."

After seeing the group of dwarf craftsmen successfully assembled, the goblin king pointed to the cannon and spoke.

"Hee hee, uncle, you don't know how to brag, right? Just this thing, can you still dig mountains and break rocks?"

The little elf loli asked suspiciously when she heard it.

From her point of view, this is just an iron cylinder with a big iron wheel, how could it be possible to break up mountains and rubble.

"Haha, don't underestimate it. Since you don't believe it, I will bring you to experience its power today."

As he said that, the goblin king directed several goblin craftsmen to push the cannon and walked outside.

"Come with me. This thing is powerful. Experimenting underground may easily cause casualties. Let's go outside."

As he said that, the goblin king led the crowd and walked outside together with the craftsman who was pushing Thunderbolt.

After reaching the ground, the group of goblins began to get busy.

I saw one of the craftsmen from an iron bucket,

I made a little black thing that looked like pot ash, and poured it into an iron hole behind the Thunderbolt.

Seeing this, Wang Zhen suddenly thought of something, and that was gunpowder.

If this thing is really a cannon, then what the craftsman poured into the barrel is definitely gunpowder.

Although he guessed it, Wang Zhen didn't make a sound, but watched with interest.

When he was born, traditional artillery like this had been retired long ago! Reduced to the object of museum visits.

Therefore, he has never seen how powerful the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient people is.

After the goblin craftsman poured the black gunpowder into Thunderbolt, under his signal, another craftsman took out a round iron ball about ten centimeters from the iron bucket on one side.

Afterwards, the craftsman stuffed the round iron ball along the barrel of the Thunderbolt.

After finishing it, he took out an iron rod from there without knowing it, and pressed the iron ball along the barrel to compact it.

Another craftsman took out a fuze made of rolled up dry leaves and inserted it into the place where the gunpowder was placed behind the barrel.

"Okay, Your Majesty, the Thunderbolt has been prepared and can be launched at any time."

After finishing the work, one of them, the goblin who looked like the leader of the craftsman, came to the goblin king excitedly and said.

"Well, aim the thunderbolt at the rubble pile over there, and let the allies see the great invention of our goblin clan."

As soon as the goblin king heard that he was ready, he continued to give orders.

The leader of the goblin craftsman heard this, and quickly directed the rest of the goblin craftsmen to adjust the direction of the cannon barrel of Thunderbolt.

After it was adjusted, the goblin king gave an order, and the goblin craftsman took a torch from another goblin and lit the fuse of the cannon.

"Zizizi"...

The sound of the fuze burning is clearly visible, and after it is burned, only the loud bang of a lifetime can be heard.

The cannon barrel of the Thundering Cannon shook, and at the same time as a flame burst out, the iron ball in the cannon barrel also flew towards the gravel forest in the distance with the momentum of thunder.

"boom"

After a bang!

A large cloud of dust was raised from the gravel forest.

"Hey, allies, let's go see how Weili is doing?"

Seeing this, the goblin king smiled triumphantly, and led the crowd towards the gravel forest.

When they came to the gravel forest, what caught everyone's eyes was a piece of fragmented stones and a dark iron ball.

Its attack range is at least two meters.

If it was replaced by humans, at least a dozen people would be killed or injured in this one shot!

"Hee hee, uncle, uncle, this weapon is so powerful, what's its name?"

Seeing the power of the cannon, the little elf loli asked with her eyes wide open in interest.

She didn't expect that the humble iron cylinder could shoot such a heavy iron ball as far as 100 meters, and it was still so powerful.

"Hey, I call it Thunderbolt, how powerful is it?"

When the goblin king heard this, he asked proudly.

Seeing the admiration of the little elf Lolita, the goblin king was very proud at this time.

"How should I say, so-so!"

At this time, Wang Zhen suddenly spoke!

After seeing the power of the cannon, Wang Zhen finally understood why this kind of old-fashioned cannon was gradually eliminated.

First of all, there is the issue of distance. He took a look at it just now and found that the attack distance of this artillery is about 200 meters.

This distance is not even as good as the attack distance of some archers.

When the time comes to really go to the battlefield, it is estimated that after a few rounds of bows and arrows, the artisans who operate the artillery will be dead!
