Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Immediately, several soldiers went to help, and soon an iron box was easily lifted off the carriage by them.

Then another wooden box was taken down. The wooden box was not big and could be lifted by one person easily.

Zhu Cihong looked at it for a long time but didn't understand, what about the rocket?He saw no sign of the rocket.

Soon the iron box was opened, and the army door began to be skillfully assembled.

Now Zhu Cihong understood that the rocket was divided into several parts for storage and assembled when needed, which was convenient for transportation.

It didn't take long, a triangular iron frame was set up under an iron box, and the soldiers opened the iron box, revealing eight round holes in the iron box.

Zhu Cihong kept looking at it without saying a word, he was stunned, what kind of rocket is this?

But soon they saw that the two soldiers began to take out several two-foot-long objects from the iron box and stuff them into the round hole.

The shape of that thing looks a bit like a small flowering bomb, and there is a conical rounded corner on the front.

When the eight round holes were all filled, Bi Maokang said with a smile to Zhu Cilang:

"Your Highness, please look, this is the Daming rocket. Eight consecutive launches have a range of two kilometers. Not only will it explode, but it will also ignite a fire."

Zhu Cihong was taken aback, and asked in disbelief:

"It's so powerful, it can shoot up to two kilometers and still explode and burn? If it's true, as you said, the three masters have made great achievements for Daming."

Bi Maokang cupped his fists in the direction of the Forbidden City and said:

"Yes, the newly developed smokeless gunpowder is used in it, which is much more powerful than the previous gunpowder. All this is due to His Majesty's work. Without His Majesty's technical drawings, it would be difficult for us to develop it in a short time."

Song Yingxing and Zhao Shizhen also cupped their hands and said:

"Yes, it's all thanks to His Majesty. We're just following the gourd. Let's wait and see, Your Highness!"

After the three of them finished talking, they waved to the soldier operating the rocket, and the soldier immediately ignited the fuse behind the iron box.

"boom……"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

As the lead wire burned, a ball of fire suddenly burst out of the iron box, and then eight bright lights burst out of the iron box one after another.

Soon everyone saw continuous explosions on the hill ahead, followed by a fire.

The scene in front of him made Zhu Cihong's eyes widen, and he cheered loudly:

"What a powerful rocket. It's a magic weapon. Are there any new firearms?"

These two firearms are already very powerful, yet the prince actually wants new firearms.

Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang, and Zhao Shizhen all looked at each other and smiled:

"Your Highness, it has taken more than a year to develop these two firearms, and there are no other new firearms as long as there are blueprints."

Zixuan bent down to open a wooden box and said:

"Your Highness, there are only two new types of firearms. There are also grenades here, but they are not new weapons."

The grenade Zixuan mentioned was made by Zhu Youjian before his departure.

Because of his experience in grenade development, it is not difficult for Daming to make grenades now.

Zhu Cihong looked down at the few grenades in the wooden box, and couldn't help being a little confused:

"Zixuan, the Ming army is already equipped with grenades, why do they need to develop grenades, their functions should be similar?"

"The power is about the same, but in terms of throwing distance, the grenade has a great advantage. It can explode at a distance of 50 meters, which can effectively reduce the casualties of the Ming army."

What Zixuan said is right, grenades can't be thrown far at all, but grenades are different.

Because there is a handle, it has a clear advantage over the grenade distance when throwing hard.

Seeing Zhu Cihong's questioning gaze, Zixuan picked up a grenade and handed it to the soldiers beside him:

"Show it to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Yes"

The army soldier agreed, bent down and took out a grenade from the wooden box, unscrewed the back cover and pulled the lead wire to throw it out forcefully.

This soldier may have often trained in this way, and he threw it nearly 60 meters.

"Boom..."

With a loud bang, the grenade exploded in the distance.

Zixuan pointed to the place where the grenade exploded and said:

"Your Highness, look, the grenade is thrown at least 50 meters, and if it is a grenade, it may only be 30 meters."

Indeed, most people can throw grenades over 30 meters, but most people obviously cannot do grenades.

Zhu Cihong nodded:

"That's right, that's true. It's still father who has the foresight."

Zhu Cihong's trip to the arsenal was an eye-opener.

He has more confidence in the future of Daming, and with the full support of the Daming Arms Manufacturing Bureau, those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away, this is a piece of cake.

Zhu Cihong has seen that "Where the rivers and rivers go, the sun and the moon shine, they are all Han soil"

Farewell to the three scientists of the Ming Dynasty and the young Zixuan Zhu Cihong. The next stop is the Royal Military Academy.

After leaving the capital for more than a year, great changes have taken place in Daming.

Since he couldn't go to Shanxi for disaster relief, Zhu Cihong was going to take a good look at some new institutions established by his father.

The Royal Military Academy must not be missed. Father Huang is the president of the Royal Military Academy, and Qi Jiguang is the chief instructor.

Now that they are not here, I can just quietly go to see the situation of the school.

See if the Royal Military Academy is functioning without the bigwigs around.

He knew some nobles of the Ming Dynasty and the children of the generals who fought on the front line, almost all of them were studying in school.

He also wanted to know if there were no tigers in the mountains, would monkeys be kings?
