For this artillery, he has inherited too many expectations from him.
After a moment of silence, the atmosphere returned to normal.
"If this artillery can be developed earlier, how could Sun Ce and Zhou Yu escape so easily?"
Cao Ang then said with some regret.
If such power was used during the battle against Soochow, it would definitely be a fatal blow to Zhou Yu and Sun Ce.
However, the development of this artillery is a bit late, to the point where it is now.
Such a tyrannical artillery, such a tyrannical power, is really a bit too terrifying.
The weapon slingshot assembled on the ship, the explosive barrel, and the burning barrel were thought of by Zhuge Liang and his wife. Such an idea can be said to be very good.
However, for such an idea, the probability of failure is also very high.
While fighting against the Soochow Navy, Zhuge Liang discovered not only the problem with the propeller, but also the problem with the gunpowder barrel.
According to Zhuge Liang's calculations, the powder keg fired by the slingshot contained too many duds.
For such a situation, Zhuge Liang felt a little helpless.
Some gunpowder barrels hit the Soochow Navy's ship directly, but to Zhuge Liang's surprise, the powder barrels didn't explode!
This situation made Zhuge Liang a little helpless.
If there are only a few such cases, it is okay, but such cases have happened many times, it can be said that this weapon has serious drawbacks.
It is precisely because of this situation that he is now facing the problem of changing weapons.
It is precisely because of this situation that this artillery will be developed.
Before thinking about changing weapons, Zhuge Lian just wanted to upgrade the explosive barrels and incendiary barrels, which would also reduce the chance of dud bombs.
However, it is really because the accuracy of the slingshot is a bit too low, and only high accuracy can cause greater damage to the enemy. If the accuracy is low, then there is little point in upgrading the explosive barrel.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang started the development of this artillery at Cao Ang's suggestion.
After research and manufacture, this artillery is much better than that slingshot.
The power is twice as high as that of the powder barrel, the distance is three to four times that of the powder barrel, and the accuracy is more than ten times that of the slingshot.
Such an improvement is simply a qualitative leap for the slingshot explosive barrel.
The artillery is attacking in a straight line, and this situation directly determines that it will not deviate.
Then there's the issue of speed.
The slingshot uses manpower, and the shell uses the huge kinetic energy generated by the burning gunpowder.
There is no comparison between the two at all.
The birth of this artillery is simply a powerful artifact!
Then Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others were shocked after seeing such a situation.
If this artillery is equipped on the ships of the Cao Wei navy, then no matter how powerful the navy is, it will not be taken seriously, right?
Not only were the people who came to watch shocked, but Zhuge Liang was also very shocked by the cannon when he made it.
Such a thing is unimaginable to Zhuge Liang, he did not expect that the artillery can be so strong.
When Cao Ang told him, he just thought that this artillery would be better than the slingshot gunpowder barrel he developed.
However, what surprised him, Zhuge Liang, was the tremendous power displayed by the artillery after it was developed.
Zhuge Liang heard Cao Ang say that if this cannon can be developed, it can directly change the world, which is unbelievable to him, Zhuge Liang.
However, now he believed it, he believed it with conviction!
"Good, good, really good!"
Cao Cao was very excited. Such artillery was an extremely powerful weapon for Cao Jun. No matter who it was this time, they would not pay attention to it.
"Zixiu, Kong Ming, you two have done a great job this time!"
Cao Cao was very excited about this, after all, this is a weapon that can enhance the strength of Cao Jun.
"This artillery paired with a ship is a seamless existence. If our navy of Cao Wei is equipped with this artillery, it will definitely increase in strength!"
In this regard, Cao Cao can be said to be convinced.
When Zhuge Liang heard the words, he also said excitedly: "That's true. Although the artillery is powerful, it is too heavy to be suitable for land warfare, but it can be mounted on ships. "
"With such a powerful artillery, no matter what the situation is, it will beat the shit out of the place!"

Chapter 376 Changes in Steam Ships
After hearing the words of Wei Wang Cao Cao, all the soldiers present were very excited.
Zhuge Liang's creation simply shocked their hearts and lungs.
The creation of this artillery has exceeded their cognition, such a creation is unprecedented, and it is unique.
In their eyes, such things are like those one hundred thousand soldiers, even more powerful than those one hundred thousand soldiers.
Of course, the reason why everyone thinks this artillery is very powerful is that they have never seen such a weapon before.
The appearance of artillery in the Han Dynasty is simply unprecedented!
If artillery appeared in the Han Dynasty, then it would be our own people who opened the country by force!
After all, in such an era, it is as difficult as the sky to be able to create such advanced things.
However, no matter how difficult it was, Zhuge Liang did it, and what he did was perfect.
Because no one else has seen it, that's why they feel this way.
For Cao Ang, the artillery was a bit behind.
After all, Cao Ang came from a later age, and in that later age, whether it was aircraft, tanks, or nuclear weapons, they were all very, very advanced.
And the artillery created by Zhuge Liang is eighteen blocks behind those aircraft cannons.
It is precisely this situation, so what Cao Ang sees is different from what other people see.
