From a businessman's point of view …
They really felt like they were worrying too much.
But who were they?
They were the pillars of the Tang Dynasty.
At this moment, it was undoubtedly normal for him to let out such a sigh.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty had been bullied and robbed by the Turks. Who wouldn't be excited to have this thing?
Who wouldn't be happy?
Therefore, the actions of these people at this moment were the most normal.
Only Zhang Feng didn't know.
Li Yuan smiled and didn't explain. He stepped forward and said, "Fengzi, this thing is a cannon, right?"
Zhang Feng nodded, but then he shook his head and said, "It's true that he is, but it's also true that he isn't. He's just a tool to test gunpowder. A real cannon can be fired in one shot. Do you see that small hill?"
While speaking, Zhang Feng pointed at a small mound not far away that was at least ten meters tall and said, "That's it. One blast is enough to blow it up!"
Alkinnon couldn't help but exclaim.
"Dean, do you think this thing is so powerful?"
Looking at the bamboo tube in his hand, Alkinnon almost threw it down the cliff. Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling also reacted. They hurriedly pulled Li Yuan away from Alkinnon.
Seeing this, Alkinnon's eyes showed a trace of madness, but more of shock and fear.
If this thing was really made, it would be made by him!
But because he made it himself that night, he knew better than anyone the power of this thing. In fact, it couldn't collapse a mountain. That was why he asked.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Of course. This thing is just in its initial state. It can't even be considered a cannonball. Once it's covered with a metal shell and filled with steel needles and iron sand, you can try it."
"Hiss!"
Hearing this, Alkinnon couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
He didn't see the scene of a fish explosion last time.
But this thing, Zhang Feng had told him before, the principle of this thing was that it relied on the energy produced by the instant explosion and the instant release of the impact.
Although he didn't understand the impact and the power of the explosion.
But last time, he really saw Zhang Feng get a glass bottle from Mokeado. Then, he poured some of this stuff into it. Just a little bit was enough to turn a whole vat into powder …
That power …
Now that he thought about it, even a steel pipe could turn red from the explosion. That was the hardest metal he had ever seen, but …
If it was replaced with iron, then the power of this fist-sized gunpowder could really flatten this mountain, right?
And the most excited at this time were none other than Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, and Li Yuan.
The three of them hurriedly pulled Zhang Feng to the side and asked carefully, "Feng Zi, let's not talk nonsense first. Just tell us, what kind of cannon is this?"
"You said it could flatten this small hill. Even if you said it could flatten the entire Xiao Mountain, we would believe you. But you have to make this one. Your flowery mouth makes people feel uncomfortable!"
Zhang Feng's biggest problem was procrastination and bragging.
At this time, they saw everything, but he just didn't make it for them. Wasn't that infuriating?
No wonder Yuchi Gong wanted to beat Zhang Feng up just now.
This kid was asking for a beating.
However, Zhang Feng also had concerns!
Although this thing was easy to make.
But this was compared to the situation in the future where everything was ready.
In this era where you had to do everything by yourself once you opened your mouth, Zhang Feng really couldn't do it!
And most importantly, this thing really couldn't be made just because you said so. Especially that kind of cannon. Although the principle was simple, you had to consider many things, such as the caliber, the weight, the range, the length of the barrel, the accuracy, and how many times a cannon could withstand continuous fire before the barrel exploded.
These things all needed him to think about and match.
After all, he wasn't an arms dealer.
If it wasn't for the fact that Qiuci City was an important hub for the trade routes, and if it wasn't for the fact that the old emperor had promised to hand over all the matters of the merchants in Qiuci City to Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng wouldn't have bothered to do it.
If this thing was used well, it wouldn't be a problem to rule the world.
If it wasn't used well …
If this thing was used by those with bad intentions, then the consequences …
Heh heh!
Go get your lunch box!
This was what Zhang Feng was most worried about.
Therefore, Zhang Feng delayed as much as he could.
Seeing that everyone was asking so seriously, Zhang Feng said, "I said it would take ten days, but I only need one day to make the barrel. The problem is that it needs to be tested. Its range, accuracy, and so on …"
"Don't talk nonsense with me. Just tell me, when will it be done? When it's done, I'm still waiting to make one to play with."
Yuchi Gong stroked his messy beard as he asked anxiously with reddened eyes.
Zhang Feng was stunned.
Glancing at Li Yuan, who had a strange expression, he bumped his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Old man, did this guy become stupid from the explosion just now?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I think … more or less."
"…"
