Lu Wen didn't understand words like ammunition, and Cao Ang was also very shocked when he heard it.
This Zhuge Liang actually created a word that will only appear in later generations?
"These are not ordinary wooden barrels. There are two types of wooden barrels. One of them is the incendiary barrel that will burn when thrown, and the rest is the thunder barrel that will explode directly!"
Just like the name, the burning barrel will burn, because there is a lot of kerosene in this wooden barrel, and it is precisely because of this that as long as it explodes, the whole thing will burn.
And the thunder barrel that will explode is because it is filled with a large amount of black powder and a lot of iron fragments.
The reason why wooden barrels are used is also because the sealing of the wooden barrels is very good, and it will not have any effect on the contents inside.
And there is a fuse on the wooden barrel that can be ignited. The most important thing is that the fuse is waterproof, even if it is directly dropped into the water, nothing will happen!
The long lead wire is to be able to directly control the time to achieve the effect of delaying the explosion.
The weapons equipped on the ship are responsible for knocking out the wooden barrel. If the wooden barrel falls on or beside the local ship, the ship will be destroyed instantly.
What's more, the wooden barrel filled with black powder and kerosene is itself fragile. After flying for such a long distance, it will definitely be broken if it hits the ship directly. At that time, the lead wire will leak out. If the black powder or kerosene is ignited, the ship will definitely be severely damaged.
Chapter 326 Even more famous than Cao Cao
What's more, if the wooden barrel falls into the water, it will still drift directly towards the ship with the flow of the water.
Because the movement of the boat will definitely drive the movement of the water, the pressure will decrease where the flow velocity is fast, and the place where the pressure is high will move to the place where the pressure is low, that is, the wooden barrel floating on the water will still move toward Float over where the ship is.
Such a situation can also directly destroy the enemy's ship.
The design of this wooden barrel can be said to be very ingenious, and it is not easy for Zhuge Liang to think of such a design.
Of course, for places with fast flow velocity and low pressure, Zhuge Liang certainly doesn't know such physical knowledge, but he definitely knows this truth.
After Zhuge Liang finished explaining the weapon he designed, he said to Cao Ang again: "General, as for the artillery you mentioned before, I did start to design it, but according to what you said Artillery has very high requirements for metallurgical technology and gunpowder, so it is impossible for us to produce it now!"
"However, after trying, I successfully researched such a weapon. After trying, I feel that this situation is still very useful!"
After Cao Ang heard Zhuge Liang's words, he was very excited.
This Zhuge Liang is indeed a talent. After knowing that the artillery would not work, he directly changed hands and began to develop such a powder barrel.
Such a situation is simply very comforting.
At this time, Cao Ang finally understood that the ingenuity of human beings is endless, and it is simply beyond Cao Ang's imagination to be able to develop such a thing.
Such shipborne weapons are absolutely unique in history.
Because this kind of thing was developed by Zhuge Liang himself. In fact, it is impossible to say how groundbreaking this kind of thing is, but under such circumstances, under such conditions, such a thing can be developed. , is already very powerful!
Although it is not the most powerful, but in such a transitional period, this weapon can definitely be said to be unprecedented.
The reason why this weapon uses a slingshot is also because the accuracy of the slingshot is very high, not only that, but also the power is very large.
With such a huge power, it is natural that the wooden barrel can be thrown very easily on the enemy's ship, or even in the nearby waters.
The huge power of the wooden barrel itself can cause a lot of damage to the wooden boat, which is very wonderful.
In fact, the weapons developed by Zhuge Liang and others are not only such a crowd, but also the Liannu.
The Liannu jointly developed by Huang Yueying, Ma Jun and Zhuge Liang.
In fact, this kind of crossbow has appeared in history, and it was Zhuge Liang who developed the crossbow.
In the Three Kingdoms period, in order to increase the combat power, Zhuge Liang of the Shu Kingdom personally developed a powerful crossbow. This kind of crossbow is very powerful and can be fired in bursts.
Once such a Liannu came out, it directly enhanced the combat power of the Shu Kingdom, and the firepower can be said to be very strong.
However, the only disadvantage is that it is a bit bulky, and it is impossible for a single soldier to lift it. It takes more than a dozen people to do it. Therefore, such continuous crossbows are generally used for defense.
Later, Ma Jun of the Wei State was a great inventor, and for him who loved to research and create, he also transformed the Zhuge Liannu.
The previous Zhuge Liannu could fire ten bolts at a time, but after Ma Jun's transformation, that Liannu became a [-]-arrow Liannu. This kind of Liannu directly increased the firepower by five times, which is simply too powerful.
However, because the production of this crossbow is very complicated, and those arrows also need to be specially customized, so at the end of the day, there are very few of them, until they are lost.
However, what appeared in front of Cao Ang now was a continuous crossbow that could directly shoot eighty arrows at a time. The most important thing was that this continuous crossbow only needed four soldiers to fight together.
In another time and space, Ma Jun's modification of the Liannu was already very powerful, but now the Liannu jointly developed by Zhuge Liang, Huang Yueying and Ma Jun has produced even greater power.
This situation is simply shocking and cannot be more shocking.
The reason why such a Liannu can come out is entirely dependent on Cao Ang's persistent pursuit of technology and industry.
Without Cao Ang, such a powerful Liannu would never have been developed.
It is precisely because of the importance you attach to industry and technology, so in the past two years in Xudu, many capable people and strange people, as well as those strange ideas in a broad sense, have appeared in the newspapers.
And such things naturally increase people's creativity and inventiveness.
After Cao Ang established such a system, he didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, he had other things to be busy with.
However, under such circumstances, their development directly exceeded Cao Ang's imagination.
Of course, in addition to these, there are too many creations, and no matter which one of these creations comes out, it will be an existence beyond the times,
It was a wise choice for Cao Ang to hand over the invention of this technology to Zhuge Liang.
After seeing such things, Cao Ang was also very confident in his heart.
With something like this in existence, the Soochow Wu army, and any army that is good at water combat, is nothing to worry about!
Didn't father throw away that Hefei?
To take it back is not only to take it back, but also to beat the tightly persecuted Soochow army to pieces, and even to take down all the territories occupied by the Soochow army.
The goal now is to get that Hefei back first, otherwise Huainan will really be lost, and then the Central Plains will be lost, and a series of reactions will occur.
If such a situation really occurs, the Cao family does not know when they will be able to unify the world.
After Cao Ang was ready, he led the troops towards Nashouchun.
Now that everything is ready, what is needed is a suitable time. When it comes time to confront the Soochow army, Cao Ang will let him, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others know what it means to be powerful!
After Cao Cao and Cao Ang met each other, they hugged each other very excitedly.
Although both of them were excited, Cao Cao still felt very guilty.
When he learned that Cao Ang was coming, Cao Cao even wanted to escape, because he really didn't have the face to meet his son. What face would he have in such a situation?
Cao Cao was also a little embarrassed afterwards, and said embarrassingly: "Zixiu, father is a little careless!"
