I was a village chief in a primitive society

"I probably know that this fuse is a very crucial thing, Wu, but what exactly is the fuse? Sha Lan asked in confusion.

The cat-eared girl tried her best to think about what Su Bai said, and she probably understood a lot.

But there are still a lot of unfamiliar words that she doesn't understand at all. After all, they are all modern words.

"It can be said that the fuze is the key to unlocking the power of the artillery shell, so. Su

Bai saw that the girls were a little stunned and continued to explain:"Where and when the shell will be detonated basically depends on the fuse.""

In fact, the main way to trigger the fuze is to use the inertial force at the moment when the artillery shell is ejected from the chamber. When the artillery shell flies at extremely high speed, the fuze is in a ready-to-fire state.

Once the launched artillery shell hits the target, the fuze is activated, and the explosive will ignite and explode.

And the fuze There will be a variety of insurances to prevent the shells from exploding due to slight shaking when handling the shells on a daily basis.

"It turns out that's the case, but witch, what is the key? Sha Lan asked curiously.

The cat-eared girl doesn’t know what a key is. After all, there was no such thing as a lock in the primitive era.

"The key is similar to the big logs we put behind the door after we close the door to the tribe."Su Bai gave an example from this era.

The Yanlong tribe's door would be closed every time night came. The way to close it was also very simple. It was to hang a few pieces of wood behind the door.

There were two rows behind the door. There are two hooks, and large logs are hung horizontally on these two rows of hooks.

In addition to preventing tribesmen from sneaking into the forest, which is very dangerous, it is also to prevent attacks from other tribes or ferocious beasts.

"oh! I understand, Wu. The explosion of ammunition is similar to our door. If you want to open the door, you have to take away the piece of wood, right?"Sha Lan understood instantly.

"You can say that."Su Bai nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, girls are still very smart, and they are also very easy to learn.

"Wu, I have another question: after the fuse is lit, will the inside of the artillery barrel be very hot?"Yanhua still has some doubts.

"Of course, the barrel after being lit is definitely hot and will be in a high temperature state."Su Bai nodded.

"If that's the case, Wu, then why doesn't it detonate even under high temperature?"Yanhua scratched her face curiously.

"This is also very simple, you see."

Su Bai came to the fire pit, quickly moved his hand back and forth on the flame, and asked:"Do you think my hand is on fire or burned? So it's the same principle"

"I see."Yanhua instantly felt like she had a sudden enlightenment.

Until now, Niujiao Niang's inner doubts have been resolved, and her mood instantly became very good.

"But all this is predicated on experiments. If the experiments fail, no matter how good the theory we have, it will be useless."Su Bai said lightly.

In fact, he was still a little worried, because the production of artillery cannot be done casually.

"Hmm, I'll take it to the people in the workshop and let them start researching it. Leave temporarily and turn around to leave Yong'an Building.

The Yanlong tribe now has a lot of workshops, including workshops specializing in the production of glass, as well as workshops specializing in the production of linen, porcelain, and wine.

However, these can be worked with a little study, but having a workshop requires talent.

That is the scientific research workshop, and all the people in it are carefully selected.

They are also among the best in the tribe for their intelligence. They were the ones who developed the manual musket before.

A lot of Su Bai's later work will be left to them, because there are still a lot of things to be developed in the future.

"Wu, can we really develop artillery? Yanhua asked suddenly.

She was still very worried about Yongye's attack on the tribe. It was lucky that she had newly developed weapons last year, otherwise she would not have been able to repel those ferocious beasts.

But the horned lady was still very worried. Because the ferocious beasts that went crazy last year were very different from before.

Moreover, the types that appeared had not appeared before, and most of them were hybrid species.

Their ferocity was several times more ferocious than the previous ferocious beasts, maybe Will the ferocious beasts become too exaggerated this year?

These are all things that Yanhua is worried about, especially when she sees that the tribe is getting better and better.

If the tribe is still in the same state as before, just change the place. Okay.

But now the tribe has developed steadily, and so many stone houses have been built in this place.

Yanhua has already developed feelings for this place, and it is very difficult for the girl to abandon this place easily.

"why not? It's just a matter of time, I believe we can do it."Su Bai comforted him.

He could feel the other party's uneasiness and panic. This situation had started some time ago.

But he just understood. In fact, sometimes he would also worry about Yan Long. The tribe encounters some strong enemies.

Especially when it encounters some strong enemies that it cannot deal with at this stage, wouldn’t the tribe that has worked so hard to develop to this point have to be surrendered to others?

Even if it knows a lot of knowledge, it can still deal with it. He would also worry about some emergencies, not to mention other people.

But this was also the reason why he wanted to develop artillery. No matter how strong the enemy was, they would definitely not be able to withstand the thermal weapons.

"Wu, I will definitely work hard to become stronger, I will also lead the warriors and soldiers to become stronger, and I will definitely protect the tribe."Yanhua suddenly became serious.

She felt that she could no longer be so scared. Instead of passively worrying about the tribe being attacked, it was better to actively become stronger.

"Well, I will accompany you to become stronger together. Our Yanlong tribe will not be invaded."Su Bai suddenly grabbed the Horn Girl's hand.

He wanted to encourage the other party more intuitively. At least in this situation, the Yanlong tribe is still relatively strong.

Let's exclude the recurve bow first. The Yanlong tribe now has Their explosives and manual rifles are already far ahead of other tribes.

No tribe can withstand thermal weapons unless the opponent has an indestructible shell.

"witch......"

Yanhua was a little shocked. She didn't expect that the other party would suddenly hold her hand.

"Don't worry, our manual musketry team will have no problem dealing with people from other tribes, not to mention the big ice and snow are still some time away."

Su Bai did not let go and continued:"During this period of time, the artillery will definitely be successfully developed."

"yes."Yanhua instantly felt particularly warm.

She did not rush to withdraw her hand, but let it be held tightly by the other hand.

The horned lady liked this feeling very much, and suddenly she wanted to hold hands all the time. idea.........................................
