"Crack...puff! Hahaha..." The gun started, and the flintlock device normally ignited the pot, then ignited the fire cotton glue, and the shells were also fired. Unfortunately, they were less than 30 meters away. What followed was Swan's unrestrained laughter. The two fools were making up materials for him again, and they thought Hong Tao had tortured him less.

"Your Majesty, he!" Hong Tao could tolerate it, but Bush didn't want to.

"Don't pay attention to him, change to the second medicine, and it's still a quarter of the load." Hong Tao is now enduring humiliation and not affected by any external influence. Let's talk about it after the test is finished.

"Crack...bang!" This time the deck cannon was really started. The cannon was pushed back by the recoil and slid back more than a meter. It looked no different from the original firing force, but there was no thick smoke at the muzzle, only a light yellow mist.

"Your Majesty, it's very clean and can be fired again without cleaning." Bush jumped up first, ran over with the cannon rod, stabbed it into the cannon chamber and rubbed it hard for a few times, and then took it out. There was only a light gray on the head of the cannon rod, which was caused by the shells rubbing against the cannon chamber.

"Swan, go see the ball-spot, you go in person... Boy, I can't exhaust you, let you laugh!" Hong Tao's revenge came soon. This open space was originally a training ground for recruits and Swan's shooting range, with distance signs on it. But seeing the ball-spot still depends on people. Every time, they have to run out more than half a mile and then run back. If you try a few more shots, Swan will be able to bear it.

"The first landing point of 730 meters." Soon Swan brought back the specific data.

"It's still number two, change to one-third of the charge." Hong Tao personally recorded the angle of the artillery and the shooting distance on the notebook, and then continued to test.

"Don't start! Don't start!" Most of the box of hot cotton glue, if it were replaced, it would be possible to fire three or four guns at most, but now it has been fired eleven times, and Bush is still stuffing medicine into the second deck gun. Swan only has a pair of shorts left on his body, and he runs back and forth in a few minutes, running farther and farther than the other. Even if there are more than half of the test shots, it will explode or not be able to fire normally. It is not comfortable to run a distance of one or two thousand meters a few times.

"Bang!" Unfortunately, Swan's prayer did not work. This time, not only started, but the shooting distance was farther than the previous dozen times. Without running over to see, Swan could also see from the distance of the cannon carriage's retreat.

"The difference is ten to nine hundred meters... Your Majesty, can you let me rest for a while? I will never talk much again in the future!" Swan almost crawled back this time, and the happiness he had just laughed at Hong Tao was gone.

"It's done! It's No. 7! The normal charge is one-quarter, and the maximum total charge is one-third. You can call a soldier below. The charge I want to test." Hong Tao felt very comfortable when he saw Swan so tired that he couldn't get up.

"Test! You won't explode the chamber!" When Swan heard that Hong Tao had finished playing the cannon, he was going to struggle again and almost lie on the ground. Those were his life. If he had played a few blows, he would have the heart to die.

"Don't talk nonsense, take it quickly, or I'll ask you to report the target!"

With the data of the test gun, the testing process is much simpler. The charge is controlled at about one-quarter. Two models that explode too quickly cannot be used. Three models that explode too slowly do not need to be tried. There is basically no waste of time. Just pick out one of the four models that are more suitable for firing from the four types of hot cotton glue with moderate nitrogen content.

After using fire cotton glue as the launching medicine, the firing distance and ballistic straightness of the rifle have been significantly improved. You can use Minnie bullets to penetrate a piece of two-inch thick fir tree four hundred meters away, and the area of ​​the blasting point is no more than one meter. Even if the mass-produced ones are lower than the precision of these carefully crafted ones, it is enough to have a correct head outside 200 meters.

In fact, pursuing the accuracy of shooting distances is not practical. How many people can aim at one person to shoot accurately outside the length of two football fields? If this training level can be achieved, it means that all soldiers are snipers.

"Hahaha, your majesty, have you seen it? I've hit it again!" There was one such person in front of Hong Tao. Swan was a natural divine hand. He had already left the category of aiming only with his eyes, but he felt the target together with his eyes and his brain. Without an optical assisted scope, he could shoot a human-shaped wooden target four hundred meters away, and he could hit two in ten shots. Now he started laughing again, but he had avenged the revenge just now, because Hong Tao had hit fifteen and didn't hit a single shot, even if he put it on a tree trunk as a bracket.

"The cowardly thing, there is no place for people to hurt all over your body!" Hong Tao really has no choice but to do anything to Swan when it comes to shooting technology. This thing is the king of personal talent. Even if he practices it every day, he may not be able to compare with Swan. Since there is always such a hindrance guy next to him, don't be satisfied. Let's go back to the laboratory to continue thinking about the next supporting product.

With smokeless gunpowder, the flintlock device is a bit unsafe. Since the fire cotton has been made into granular shapes, it cannot be poured into the medicine pool. If you want to trigger the launching medicine in the tube or gun barrel, you have to sprinkle some leads on the fire door. This is a bit of a superfluous feeling. Even though you have used smokeless gunpowder hundreds of years later, you still have to use such a backward tunnel ignition device, which is not suitable!

In history, what happened after flintlock? Flashing is also the same! As the name suggests, flashing is to use a hammer or striker to strike the fire cap to explode, and then ignite the launching medicine and launch it out. This kind of firing principle is very close to the various things in later generations. Its firing rate is very high, and it will only cause a blind fire at an average of hundreds of fires.

The firing speed is faster, and the rainproof and moisture-proof functions are also stronger, and can still firing in mobile combat. In addition to the firing and flintlock, there is no need to change any changes. The changed ignition device is much easier than the flintlock device.

But why didn’t Hong Tao make such a good thing? He had to make a flintlock? Because there is a difficulty here, which is what to use for fire hats! If you can’t find a fire hat that can burn when you hit, everything else is in vain. What’s even more difficult is that this fire hat must be safe and cannot be touched at a slight touch. It can only be fired when it hits a certain pressure.

Ray mercury is the most commonly used fire hat material in later generations. But what is it made of? Hong Tao really doesn't know, and he has never taught this experiment in high school chemistry. He is just a puppet military fan, and he just goes away when he sees things. He lacks in-depth understanding of knowledge that he is not very interested in. Fire cotton can actually be used to fire fire, but the stability of fire cotton is too poor, and the sensitivity after passivation is too low, so it cannot be achieved by firing.

But besides thunder mercury, are there any alternatives? The answer is certain, and Hong Tao also happens to know some. He likes hunting, so he naturally knows some hunting enthusiasts, both at home and abroad.

The Chinese are better, and I dare not play these things too much, but foreigners are different, especially Canadians who regard themselves as farmers. Many of their medicines are their own. The fishing and hunting shops there will also have some raw materials, such as empty shell shells, fire hats and launching medicine raw materials, which let hunting enthusiasts go back and take the ammunition themselves. If they catch up with people with retro spirit, they will go their own in a very primitive way.

Playing and hunting is an entertainment and culture in North America. Just like we play bracelets, we have to make it ourselves when we play to a certain level. No matter how advanced it is, we have to use ancient handmade methods. We don’t bring any fun with those who get on the car.

It is said that in Pennsylvania, there are still some people who live by burning coal. They do not use gasoline, natural gas and gas in their daily lives, and they don’t even drive cars. They drive a four-* carriage in and out all day long. This is a life attitude, which has nothing to do with having money or not. Usually, people who play like this have a lot of family at home, and raising a carriage is much more expensive than raising a car.

Hong Tao was lucky enough to know these people, and he also talked to them about how to reuse them. Of course, he would also watch them with his own eyes. According to his curious baby's personality, he had to try it with his own hands.
