Chapter 76 Great Deeds(2/2)

After a while, we arrived at the military weapon steward. There was no one except the soldiers on duty at the door. It must be Kou Yibing and the others who were busy. Chen Wanrong took the horse in, jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the soldiers, and strode over.

I still didn't see anyone along the way. I should have cast it yesterday, which is the key to the success or failure of the artillery. Chen Wanrong wanted to know the result earlier and rushed to the place where Ye Tianheng cast it.

From a distance, I saw a group of people surrounding me, each stretching his neck, concentrating and very focused. It was Ye Tianheng and the others.

After walking up quickly, Chen Wanrong asked, "How is it?"

Kou Yibing turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw that it was Chen Wanrong, he was overjoyed and laughed: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here, you are finally here!"

Ye Tianheng and the others all surrounded him. Not to allow Chen Wanrong to ask questions, Ye Tianheng explained with a smile: "Don't worry, my friend, this casting matter has been completed. Look, this is the cannon body we cast."

When Chen Wanrong looked at it, he saw two half-bolts on the ground, with copper light shining, which was particularly spectacular in the sunlight. Zhang Deming and Cao Zhixiong were cleaning up. Seeing Chen Wanrong, they couldn't help but stop the work in their hands and surrounded him: "Mr. Chen, take a look."

He was no longer good at casting Chen Wanrong and smiled and said, "No need to read it. This will be checked by Master Ye, and there will be no problem."

Ye Tianheng frowned and looked serious: "My friend, I have tried my best to cast this time. It can be said that this casting is very good. However, the power of the cannon is very powerful. I can't be sure whether it can meet the requirements. You can see if it's the best."

The biggest problem with copper cannons is that they are afraid of blowing up the chamber. The main reasons are two aspects: one is that copper is not as easy to use as iron, and the other is whether the seamless steel pipe technology is used. The gun body is first cast in two halves and then cast together, which makes the blowing chamber more likely.

Chen Wanrong thought about casting iron cannons, but the technology of iron cannons is much more difficult. Due to the existing conditions of the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to meet, so copper cannons had to be used.
