Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

"This... is really terrifying!" He Zhang couldn't help but exclaim immediately.

And Li Yang was also surprised and delighted.

Because, originally he thought that the iron ball would not be able to penetrate the wooden board, but the result surprised him a bit.

At that moment, Li Yang also stretched out a thumb and praised: "Okay, this is really a good cannon!"

"gun?"

When everyone heard it, they had question marks on their faces.

Li Yang was stunned, and said with a smile: "I think this thing should be named artillery."

"Cannon?" Everyone pondered for a while, and then couldn't help praising: "A good name! This name is loud and expressive, which is just right for this thing!"

"This name is indeed a perfect match for this thing. From now on, this thing will be called a cannon!" Gongshu Chu also applauded.

Li Yang took a deep look at Gongshu Chu, he can invent a cannon, which shows his talent, so he said: "Gongshu Chu, you can invent this thing, it shows that you are really a person with great talent, this thing is very useful .”

"President Xie for your compliment." Gong Shuji's face was full of joy, very happy.

Li Yangdao: "I have decided to recommend you as a doctor of the Academy of Engineering to show your talent!"

Hearing these words, Gong Shuji was immediately overwhelmed with excitement, and quickly gave a deep bow: "Your Majesty...thank you for your recommendation, Dean."

After finishing speaking, Gongshu Chu's eyes became moist.

The people on the side all looked at him enviously, and said congratulatoryly, "Brother He Gongshu, you will soon be awarded a doctorate!"

The public transport book hastily bowed back.

It's no wonder that Gong Shuchu was moved to tears, because a doctor was not only an official position in the Qin Dynasty, but also a kind of honor.A doctor is a man of erudition, a sage in the world, and a teacher in the world.Doctor, the disciple in charge of the teaching, the state has doubts, and the in charge asks the right one.

In short, a doctor is a teacher of one school, who is in charge of teaching the disciples and students all over the world. If the country has problems, it can be consulted with this kind of person.It can be seen that the status and reputation of a doctor is so high that it is definitely not comparable to an official position.

This is why when Li Yang said that he would recommend Gongshu Chu as a doctor of the Academy of Engineering, even He Zhang and Ren Bu, the first and second officials of the imperial court, would look at him enviously, because not everyone can get this kind of honor .

Next, Li Yang began to point out the improvement of the cannon to Gong Shuchu.

Tell him that the cannon can be reduced by more than ten times to invent the firecracker musket; the shotgun of the cannon can be changed to resemble fireworks, which can explode after being shot, and it is named cannonball...

This lecture lasted for more than an hour.

After listening to it, Gong Shuji and everyone were so admired that they knelt down to Li Yang.

Everyone was overwhelmed, they couldn't understand at all, everyone is also human, why can Li Yang be so good?

In the end, they had to sigh, maybe this is the gap between people!

Chapter 3 The American Continent

The inspection of Langya Shipyard this time can be described as very satisfactory.

You know, at the beginning, Li Yang felt that this trip south to inspect the shipyard would be good if the shipbuilders could change the flat bottom to a pointed bottom and hard sails to soft sails.

Because Li Yang himself does not know how to build ships, he only knows what more advanced ships look like.Therefore, relying on the above description alone, it is quite difficult to guide others to improve more advanced sea-going ships.

This is like a university professor describing polymers to primary school students, which is obviously impossible for primary school students to understand and integrate into the application.

However, what Li Yang didn't expect was that there would be such a head of the Gongshu family who is the most proficient in mechanism craftsmanship hidden in this Langya shipyard.

It is precisely because of meeting such a talented person that he successfully passed on the flying shear boat technology to later generations this time.

The flying shear boat is an advanced high-speed sea-going ship invented in the 20s, and it represents the pinnacle of sailing technology.Now that Gongshu Chu can understand the technology of this flying clipper ship and then build it, there is no doubt that Daqin will become the world's ocean overlord.

What's more, Gongshuchu actually invented the cannon, which is amazing for my country.

Although the artillery at this time is only using the explosive power of gunpowder to shoot out iron beads and stones, it is already considered a smoothbore artillery.

You must know that in the original history, it was not until the middle of the 13th century that the "burst gun" made of bamboo tubes appeared in China. This was the first time that humans used gunpowder to launch projectiles.

And until the end of the 13th century, the smoothbore artillery first appeared in China, known as the fire gun.Chinese gunpowder and firearms soon spread to the West, and artillery developed rapidly in Europe.

In the first half of the 14th century, Europe produced a short and thick barreled artillery called a mortar that fired stone bullets.Mortars are already very powerful, and they can kill enemies in a large area at a relatively long distance.

And the mortar that fired stone bullets in Europe in the 14th century was the so-called "shotgun" invented by Gongshu Chu at this time?

That is to say, the artillery of Gongshuchu directly advanced the historical process of gunpowder and artillery to the European level in the first half of the 14th century.

Coupled with Li Yang's improved guidance, such as reducing the caliber of the gun barrel, the range of shotguns can be increased; such as spherical solid bullets and explosive bullets that are loaded from the muzzle and then fired.

It is conceivable that it will not be long before such artillery is mass-produced and installed on both sides of the ship for naval warfare. It is simply invincible at sea.

Especially if the explosive bomb is also invented, then the power of the cannon will be even greater.It can be said that whoever has more cannons that can fire explosive bombs has the initiative in a war.

As it is on land, it is even more so at sea.

Just imagine, when Daqin's ships and warships were engaged in battle with the enemy's ships, a few cannons were bombarded from a long distance.

At that time, there is no doubt that Daqin's ships will be supercilious in any sea area of ​​the world, and they can completely walk the pace of disapproval.

If anyone refuses to accept it, we will send ships over there and bombard them with cannonballs.

If anyone refuses to accept it, we will send the army over there. The Great Qin Iron Cavalry and Qin Nu are also existences that sweep away everything.

All in all, Da Qin is the father!

I'll beat anyone who doesn't call daddy.

Thinking of this, Li Yang felt so awesome that he was going to die.

With clippers and cannons, it is no longer a dream for Daqin to dominate Qinqiu.

Li Yang had already made up his mind. Before Qin Shihuang returned to China, he would first unify the Qiang and set up the three provinces of Yunnan, Tibet, and Sichuan, and then unify the Yuezhi into the two provinces of Gansu and Ningxia, and then continued. Continue to destroy Wusun, establish Qinghai Province, and then destroy more than a dozen small countries in the Western Regions such as Loulan, and establish Xinjiang Province. In this way, China's territory will be much more pleasing to the eye.

Then, after Qin Shihuang returns home, he can contact the countries of the world, and realize his ideal of dominating the world step by step...

Just when Li Yang was planning to make Daqin realize his ideal of enriching the people and strengthening the country and dominating the world, on the other side of the world...

America.

The Daqin Fleet at this time, after nearly half a year of sailing, finally arrived at the coast of the American continent today.

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, standing on the deck of the bow, although he has become a bit old and haggard after half a year of sea voyage, but when he saw a piece of land in front of him, his whole body became excited and cheered up.

"Shaohao Continent, I have finally arrived!"

Ying Zheng's face was flushed with high spirits, looking at the land in front of him, he laughed.
