Chapter 5073 Improvement

Musket and artillery, these two brand-new names were born in Ye Xiaochuan's mouth so casually.

The two little girls have not realized how much impact the birth of muskets and artillery will have on the entire Three Realms. They are now discussing these two names in a low voice.

The reputation is very domineering, and can compete with Yao Guang's Tian Lei Bang. Although the names of the two people are not included, the two girls are still very satisfied with the names given by Ye Xiaochuan.

Ye Xiaochuan valued muskets and artillery very much, and originally planned to leave Cangyun after finishing Junior Sister Xiaozhu's dumplings tonight.

Ye Xiaochuan decided to stay in Cangyun Mountain for three more days for the samples of muskets and artillery, as well as the drawings designed by Xiao Qi.

This is an extremely risky decision.

Most of the sect leaders who came to attend the Cangyun meeting would leave within a day or two. It was indeed dangerous for Ye Xiaochuan to stay in Cangyun.

Apart from anything else, if Ye Xiaochuan knew that Yu Jizi had been absorbing the yin energy of the undead in Tianshui City, Yu Jizi would not tolerate him.

However, Ye Xiaochuan still chose to stay for three more days.

In addition to the importance of guns and artillery, he was also betting that the jade machine would not attack him at this time.

He has not revealed Yu Jizi's secrets during this period, and he is about to leave the world and go to the Sea of ​​Forgetfulness. Yu Jizi should not choose to do anything to him at this time.

Let Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi seize the time to work overtime to improve the guns and artillery. These two girls are also greedy masters. It's okay to help Ye Xiaochuan improve muskets and artillery, but they haven't had a decent meal in three days. Now they are so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs. How can they still have the energy to work? They need Ye Ya, who is skilled in craftsmanship. Ogawa

, just cook them a delicious meal.

Ye Xiaochuan couldn't resist the two girls, so he had to agree.

However, when he stayed to cook for the second daughter, he also had an additional request, that is, the second daughter should not tell anyone else the secret of the muskets and artillery. No one could do it. This is not a unique treasure, it is just a weapon used by mortals. The two girls succeeded in inventing it. After feeling the thrill of success, they will no longer take these two small inventions seriously. As for Ye Xiaochuan's additional request, they want

I agreed without thinking.

Ye Xiaochuan became the chef of Dian Shao again, cooking delicious food for his two daughters in the simple kitchen outside the ancestor's ancestral hall, while the two daughters redrawn the drawings and made clay molds inside the ancestral hall.

Originally, the two girls wanted to move the studio outside, and while working, they watched Chef Ye's cooking skills.

Ye Xiaochuan sternly rejected it.

He didn't want the secrets of guns and artillery to be discovered by outsiders. These were secret weapons for mortals on the battlefield.

The drawings of the muskets just need a little improvement.

Artillery is more troublesome.

Because the design concept of the artillery is to eject a solid iron ball with a diameter of seven inches, with a range of up to a thousand feet.

To meet these two requirements, the impact thrust must be increased.

In this case, more black powder must be filled inside.

The power of black powder is too great. If it is filled with too much, it will explode in a closed space. First of all, the risk of exploding the chamber must be considered.

If you want to prevent the barrel from exploding, you must thicken the barrel, and iron-cast cannons will not work and must be replaced with a more flexible bronze alloy.

Such a huge gun body would weigh more than a thousand kilograms, or even several thousand kilograms. This requires a large amount of bronze and steel, and transportation of such a heavy thing is also a big problem. After all, it is for mortals. It is not practical for mortals to transport such heavy things with their shoulders and hands, so it has to be transported by this person.

The thing clicks on the wheel.

However, these difficulties did not stump the talented girl Princess Qi.

With the prototype of the musket, she has already improved the design of the artillery and has a general direction.

She is only responsible for the design. As for how much material is required and how heavy it is, she does not consider it.

Before Ye Xiaochuan's meal was cooked, Xiao Qi had already designed new drawings for improved muskets and artillery.

Due to Ye Xiaochuan's intervention, the two girls were particularly concerned about this matter. Xiao Qi and Gui Yatou also forgot about the grudges they had fought for a day and night, put aside their past grudges, and exchanged in-depth opinions and suggestions on the design details.

After everyone felt that the design drawing was perfect, they proudly showed it to Ye Xiaochuan.

Ye Xiaochuan knew nothing about weapon refining, but Ye Cha in the Sea of ​​Souls was somewhat involved in the art of weapon refining.

After seeing the improved design drawings of muskets and artillery, Ye Cha was full of praise.

Ye Xiaochuan believed in Gui Yatou and Xiao Qi's professional skills, and also believed in Ye Cha's vision.

He immediately took action and asked the two girls to quickly develop improved muskets and artillery according to the design drawings.

The second daughter stopped working, saying that she was too hungry and had to wait until dinner before she could work.

Ye Xiaochuan was very helpless, but he wanted to ask for help and was not easy to get angry, so he could only continue to be his own Chef Ye.

The ingredients were all prepared by Xiaoqi and Gui Yatou, and seven large bowls and eight large plates of delicious dishes were cooked. Only then did the two lazy girls regain the motivation to work.

The dinner was served in the evening, and the two girls ate it happily.

Everyone praised Ye Xiaochuan's cooking skills, which have made great progress in recent years.

During this period, Yang Shijiu came to see Ye Xiaochuan once, but Ye Xiaochuan sent him away. After that, no one came to the ancestral hall again.

The meal lasted until the second watch. The two girls were arguing that they were too tired and wanted to go to bed. They also asked Ye Xiaochuan not to leave tonight and stay to talk with them by candlelight.

Whether they want to sleep or talk by candlelight, who knows.

Ye Xiaochuan will not indulge them anymore. If they back down again, the two girls will push their limits again and threaten to break up with them if they don't work again.

Seeing that Ye Xiaochuan was really anxious, the two girls thought that they couldn't miss such an interesting friend like Ye Xiaochuan, so they had to continue working.

Of course, they had to drag Ye Xiaochuan to work together.

They also said something like men and women work together, and work is not tiring.

Ye Xiaochuan finally saw the advantages of these two troublemakers. Although they laugh and scold all day long, they are very good at doing things.

Compared with the slow dwarf weapon refining masters, they are much faster.

In less than an hour, Xiao Qi had reshaped a mold with clay.

As soon as the clay mold was formed, the ghost girl had already made the wooden butt of the musket.

Using Samadhi True Fire, a pot of molten iron was quickly melted and poured into the clay mold.

Then smash the clay mold, pour out the iron pipe, and put it in cold water to cool.

Next, Xiao Qi began to use a large amount of clay to mold the cannon, and Gui Yatou began to select hard wood to make wheels for the cannon.

As for Ye Xiaochuan, he was not idle either. He was directed by the two girls to polish the barrel of the musket, especially the inner wall of the barrel, which must be smooth and free of burrs. After all, the barrel was made of clay molds, and there were too many burrs and rough edges. It needed to be polished carefully to make the projectiles shoot out better.
