"Why so big." Ju Xin frowned and said.

"My lord. This is the imitation sample of the first cannon." Gong Cheng said.

"Is it the Qin-made two-inch caliber?" Ju Xin asked again.

"Return to your lord. This is the two-inch caliber of my country Yan. The two-inch caliber of my country Yan is much larger than that of Qin country. It is also more powerful." Gong Cheng said.

"En. Very good. Very good. By the way, the cannonball. There should be no problem." Ju Xin asked again.

"No. No problem." Gong Cheng replied immediately.

"En. Very good. But why is it not made of copper? It is made of iron." Ju Xin asked again.

"Return to my lord. This copper is more expensive than iron. The hardness of this iron is better than copper. If iron is used, it is more powerful than Qin's artillery." Gong Cheng said ambiguously.

"That's right. You're smart." Ju Xin happily pointed at Gong Cheng and said.

"Okay. Test the cannon." Ju Xin roared loudly.

"My lord has an order. Test the cannon." The generals below shouted one after another.

"Boom." A shell was fired from Yan Guo's imitation artillery.

Ju Xin watched the shells flying out from a distance.

"How's the situation? Take a look." Ju Xin ordered.

"Here." A lieutenant agreed.Then he turned and left.

207 Li Mu is not lazy

"Report." The deputy general ran over quickly.

"My lord, my lord. The shells are two miles away." The deputy general knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Good. Good." Ju Xin shouted happily.

"By the way. How about this musket?" Ju Xin asked again.

"My lord, this gun barrel is really hard to imitate." Gong Cheng said in embarrassment.

"It's so stupid. Hurry up and imitate it. Be quick. It's done. There will be a lot of rewards. If it doesn't work out, watch your head." Ju Xin said fiercely.

"This cannon needs to be forged more quickly, the bigger the caliber, the better." Ju Xin changed his face again and said.

"Yes, I'll do it for the younger one." Gong Cheng immediately agreed.

Ju Xin ignored it at all.Report the good news directly to King Yan.

While Yan State was preparing a large number of imitation Qin State artillery, Li Mu was not idle.

Li Mu had already experienced the power of this kind of firearm on the battlefield.And the killing effect is very powerful.Those who are shot are often unable to heal, that is, if they are shot.Only one foot entered the gate of hell.

What Li Mu can do is to avoid the front of the firearm.Attack from the side.Quickly approach the enemy without the enemy reacting.Then take advantage of the fact that muskets and artillery are not good at melee combat, and quickly control the situation.

To achieve such a result, a whole new cavalry force had to be trained.Since the cloud city one farewell.Li Mu had already begun to pay close attention to the stirrups, horseshoes and other things that appeared on the cavalrymen of the Qin State.And started a lot of imitation.

As for cavalry tactics, because of the firmness of the stirrups, a new tactic began to appear, that is.Using the fast mobility of the cavalry, they quickly circled to the enemy's rear and launched an attack from the rear.Instead of just launching a ride as in the past.The effect of charging is affected because there is no stirrup.Now because of the stirrups, the weapons equipped have been greatly improved.

From melee swords to spears and halberds for mass assaults.Zhao Jun's combat weapons are being rapidly upgraded.

While Li Mu was busy deploying troops, he was also paying close attention to the situation of weapons and equipment.Zhao Jun is different from Qin Jun. Qin Jun has a very developed weapon manufacturing workshop, which has now been upgraded to an arsenal, while Zhao Jun has none of these at all.The craftsmen were recruited temporarily from nearby.The manpower simply cannot meet Zhao Jun's combat needs.

In a few days, only two hundred pairs of stirrups and horseshoes were made.Li Mu is very worried about these.

And after those Zhao Jun cavalrymen were equipped with stirrups, after seeing the benefits of this equipment with their own eyes, they started to imitate spontaneously. They used hemp rope and leather.Or cloth, made into stirrups.Thus.You can also get the same effect as a stirrup.

In this way, the Zhao Jun cavalry began to make a large number of homemade stirrups.The number rapidly expanded from two hundred to nearly seven thousand cavalry.It is in this difficult environment that Zhao Jun completed the rough weapon upgrade work.

Li Mu stared blankly at the group of bloody men, and remained silent for a long time.Zhao Jun was able to fight against Qin Jun because of these bloody men.

"Step up your training." Li Mu looked at Zhao Jun's cavalry who had been training overnight, and turned to leave.The guards around him followed suit.

Li Mu returned to the big tent, and marked the Yan Army's military information collected on the sand table. As usual, there was not much movement from the Yan Army.Even so, Li Mu still did not take it lightly.on the contrary.Instead, Li Mu sent a large number of scouts to investigate the information of the Yan army's reinforcements.

For Wu Sui, Fangcheng.Li Mu carried out the investigation carefully.Pay special attention to movements in this area.From the distance in the picture.The distance between these two places is relatively far from Julu.It is the least likely to arouse Yan Jun's vigilance.But it was a cavalry team that attacked, and it could quickly tear a hole from these two places.Then go around to the rear of the Yan army.Directly attack the supply line of the Yan army in Julu City.To achieve the effect of siege.This is Li Mu's idea.Preferably, in the direction of Julu, the Yan army can be lured to take the initiative to attack.Ambush him on the way.For such an arrangement, Li Mu believed that only by attacking the reinforcements from the Yan State would it be most likely to mobilize Julu's Yan army.In this way, Zhao Jun took the initiative, and Yan Jun, who had lost the initiative, could not effectively attack Zhao Jun even if he had an absolute advantage in weapons.

The general policy has been finalized.Li Mu could only wait quietly and patiently.

A big battle began to brew in the quiet confrontation.And Shang Wen is also brewing his own things.It's just that what Shangbun is brewing is not war, but ethanol.

After several days of fermentation.Those grains that have been fermented can no longer be fermented.

With fermented food.Shangwen also needed fractionation towers.What Shangwen wanted was high-purity ethanol, so that he could make alcohol lamps for experiments.And boozy blowtorches.

As for the fractionation tower, Shangfu cannot be manufactured industrially, but it can be manufactured in the laboratory, and Shangwen uses clay pots.According to the principle of the fractionation tower, a ceramic pot type fractionation tower is made.Naofumi was full of praise for this invention.I originally planned to use glass, but the output of glass is too low.Even basic experiments are not guaranteed.

For this reason, Naofumi spent a long time looking for a cheap, easy-to-make equipment.Finally, Naofumi finally found the clay pot.

Except fractionator.Shangwen also made a distillation device, mainly to further upgrade to a distillation column.The purpose of doing this is to speed up the purity of ethanol.

With such equipment, Shangwen immediately began to extract ethanol from the distillation column.

In a limited space, increase the heat exchange area of ​​the liquid phase mixture as much as possible. Generally, the mixture used for jing distillation and fractionation is an organic azeotrope. The azeotrope is first heated from the reactor to the fractionation section, and the one with a low boiling point Continue to rise, because the temperature of the top of the tower is the same as that of the low boiling point after being heat transferred by the low boiling point, so the low boiling point is fractionated out, and the higher boiling point does not reach the corresponding boiling point, so it will be cooled and then refluxed to the reaction In the kettle or the lower part of the fractionating column, after the low boiling point substances are completely distilled, the higher boiling point substances are fractionated successively, and then the high boiling point substances are distilled out, and finally the bottom of the reaction kettle is the residue.

Heating equipment adopts coal stove.Since the experiment was completed at noon, the temperature was still very high.Shangwen was sweating all over his body doing experiments.Shangwen is not yet to make some adjustments.Mainly a problem with the condenser.

After an hour-long heating and distillation process, a small cup of ethanol was finally extracted.The unique aroma of liquor attracted an unexpected guest.

Old man Wei, this person who likes to drink two glasses of nothing.As for the aroma of wine, he had already smelled it.

208 Wood processing problems

"Let me tell you, if you try to drink this stuff, it will kill you. This is methanol, not ethanol. Do you know? It will kill you." Shang Wen deliberately threatened.

"Dead people, how can wine kill people." Old man Wei didn't seem to accept this kind of thing.

"This is methanol, which is highly poisonous. A little bit will cause blindness. A little more, and your old life will die." Shang Wen said.

"Don't try it. I still have things to do, don't move." Shangwen said and kept the alcohol in the cabinet.Then, I took out my notebook and went to do things.

"Dead people. Yes, they will die. They will only get drunk to death. Hehe." Old man Wei turned his head to watch Shangwen leave, and then went to get alcohol from the cabinet.

"En. Fragrant. This guy is quite capable. He can also make wine." Old man Wei sniffed the wine bottle.

As he spoke, he took a sip of drink.

"Ah." The old man Wei shouted somewhat.
