Chapter 933 Fire Gun
If the appearance of the explosive pack made everyone calm down, the musket made the soldiers more confident. Now, in addition to training, they also have to build ships, salt ponds, and city. It is false to say that it is not tired, but there is hope.
Unlike in Sui City, they were called abolished troops.
The former navy soldiers led by Han Ming adapted to this place early. Master Lou led the ships they built to make them more confident. The arrival of the wild monk is like a tiger with wings. If it is not enough, "There are too few people in the navy." Qin Feng put down the teacup and said.
"You can't be in a hurry to recruit soldiers and horses," Xiao Lingyao said: "The most troublesome thing is that people in the southwest are not good at water."
If they hadn't discovered the sea area accidentally, the navy would have almost no room for exercise. The southwest people have lived in the inland for a long time, and very few people are good at water.
Those who are not good at water will probably be dizzy when they get on the boat. Not to mention the enemy's base, they may feel uncomfortable and jumping into the ship.
A passage suddenly floated through Qin Feng's mind - De and his generals, Wu Bo and two of them, bent their bows and arrows, and wanted to return to Renying on a small boat. The water was full and the boat was covered, but the arrows were lost. He held the boat alone and covered the water. He was gained by Yu, and stood up without kneeling.
Among them is Pang De of the Three Kingdoms period. He took his men to escape and fled to Cao Ren's camp by boat. Unfortunately, the ship overturned because of the strong wind and waves. He was caught in the water because he was good at water.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many people who suffered losses because they were not good at water. When Qin Feng thought of this problem, his mind hurt. He couldn't cover that area of sea area, especially recently he used it repeatedly due to purchases. After a long time, he would be discovered sooner or later.
The number of the navy was only a few dozen people. Qin Feng thought for a while and said, "There is a sea area in the southwest, and Dongyue may not have been discovered. The navy's power is concentrated in the southeastern water area. There is a water division in Nanying there, so the draw can only be part of the military force."
"Insufficient personnel is a problem, but if you recruit some landslides, you can't help much. It's better to have nothing than to be too bad," Xiao Lingyao said firmly: "What's more, it's too early to recruit soldiers now."
Qin Feng also knew this truth. Only when Kua Cliff was living a wealthy life was a great temptation to the people in the southwest. Now that he was just starting out, where did he get the attraction?
He let out a breath and said, "If the personnel cannot be supplemented, then you can only start with weapons. In addition to the steam machine in the Queen's manual, there are also records of muskets. This object is a hot weapon and will be of great use if it can be widely produced and used."
Qin Feng also thought that although steam machines are more helpful and can help industrialize, it is not easy to manufacture them. On the contrary, the production of this musket is less difficult, and they occupy the minerals left by Lu Qi and are not short of raw materials.
Seeing that his thoughts were pulled back, Xiao Lingyao hurriedly said, "The Wild Monk is busy discussing with Master Lou how to make the ship's attack fire more fierce. If he can really join this musket, it's just the time."
"Since that's the case, let's put it aside for now and concentrate firepower to build the musket." Qin Feng studied the design drawings of the musket, and the design was simple and practical. In fact, there are only three parts: the gun chamber, the medicine room and the tail.
The cross-sections of these three parts are circular in shape, with accurate quantitative ratios between the caliber, length of the gun, and length of the medicine chamber. It can be seen that the queen had repeatedly experimented and finally obtained the accurate value.
This move saved them half of the trouble. You should know that the structure is easy to obtain, but the exact value can only be obtained by exploring it. The drawing seems simple, but behind it is countless experiments!
Qin Feng remembered that this thing was actually very prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty. The Queen seemed to be proficient in history and used it with its essence.
The musket is cylindrical, and the loading part is raised like a fire cage, with the inner and outer diameters greater than the inner and outer diameters of the musket chamber, thus giving the medicine chamber a larger volume and cross-section.
This structure can enable gunpowder to burn rapidly in a medicine chamber with a larger cross-section, increase the transverse combustion surface, improve the instantaneousness of combustion, instantly generate a large amount of high-temperature gas with a larger pressure, and be squeezed into the barrel with a smaller cross-section.
The pressure increases, thereby increasing the launching force, projectile flight speed and lethality. If the inner wall is smoother and reduces friction, the rate of fire can be improved.
The most important point is, "I have researched the formula and proportion of gunpowder, and the same is true for the gunpowder in the explosive pack. Since this is the case, it is more advantageous to make a musket first." Qin Feng said firmly: "Since there is no one, then we should get weapons first."
Cao Jing said on the side: "Young Master, you have drawings. If there is one, we will go here and hand this item over to the wild monk. This matter should be as early as possible. Now everyone has settled down and is on the right track. If it is too late, I am afraid... there will be some troubles."
Although Emperor Yuan felt that he was betrayed and deprived of everything from them in the letter, he did not give up on searching. A team of Feilong Army still took the mission to continue to pursue their whereabouts!
Qin Feng had already copied the drawing separately, so he sent Long Qi to take it and hand it over to Cao Jing. Cao Jing opened it and looked at it. He saw that the two ends of the object were slender, only a small section was slightly raised, and the bulging area was longer at one end and shorter at the other end.
The bulging place was not in the middle. Although Cao Jing felt strange in his heart, he saw that there were more detailed notes below, and he detached each part and drew the picture. The dimensions were marked on it. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Why could Queen Xian design this thing?"
Qin Feng thought that it was definitely not easy to pick it up, but it was only after countless experiments. Just like his purification, he tried it countless times before he knew what the trick was.
As a high-level expert, he should have some understanding of history, but it is impossible to understand everything in detail?
The booklets that Mr. Cheng handed over to him did not have a practical effect in his hands, but he had the opportunity to shine in his hands. However, Qin Feng said vaguely: "Everything in the world can be from nothing to something, and the creativity of the first emperor and the last is stronger than that of ordinary people."
Cao Jing then suppressed his doubts and went straight to the weapon yard with the drawings!
Qin Feng could send Cao Jing, who was eager to go out, but as soon as he looked up, he met Xiao Lingyao's meaningful eyes. She saw her fingers slightly bent and knocked gently on the table a few times: "My great-grandmother is really extraordinary."
"If she had really walked on the same road with the Lord of Fusheng Pavilion back then, how could the Xiao family have nothing to do with it?" Xiao Lingyao looked up and asked Qin Feng: "That Lord Lu's ambition is too strong and lacks some feelings for the country and the world, right?"
