Chapter 68 Barrel Transmitter

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!.

The mining area illuminated by torches, and silver shone down. Luo Lan and Daisy climbed a mountain and couldn't wait to ask her about the Rockets.

"Your Highness, I just hit me by chance. That day I saw a worker using a bamboo tube to draw water and I wondered if I could use a bamboo tube to make a gunpowder cartridge. The bamboo tube is very strong and hollow, very perfect."

Daisy said modestly, but the little show on the corner of her mouth could not be concealed. This loli was happier than anyone else.

Luo Lan applauded: "You are so smart, why didn't I expect to use a bamboo tube?"

In fact, the barrel of the early raid musket was made of bamboo tubes. It can be said that bamboo played an extremely critical role in the early days of the use of firearms.

Luo Lan’s understanding of this only comes from documentaries. In terms of professional knowledge, he is not as good as Daisy, and now he is very amazed at Daisy's intelligence.

"It's great. I've seen the terrible lethality caused by the Rockets. Daisy, how many rockets can you make in a day?" Luo Lan couldn't wait. It would be amazing if the Rockets produced energy.

Daisy looked dark and said softly: "I'm sorry if there are less than one hundred pieces a day."

So few

"Why is there any difficulty with only one hundred?"

Daisy lowered her head: "General gunpowder cannot be used. I need to purify it repeatedly. Only by purifying the gunpowder multiple times can the Rocket have strong lethality. Now, due to the lack of sulfonite, the daily gunpowder output is very small, and naturally the Rockets are very small."

Daisy's tone was low: "Sulphite is too critical. There are too many sulfite impurities in the mining area, and purifying sulfite is more difficult, so we cannot make a large number of rockets..."

Daisy was about to cry as she spoke, and Luo Lan hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't blame you, it's just strange, don't cry."

Luo Lan became a "kind old father" again, and Daisy's heart was so fragile.

"I'm not crying... I will try my best to create more rockets for Your Highness!"

After receiving comfort, Daisy became motivated again.

Luo Lan touched her chin and thought for a while, suddenly said: "The purity of the volcano should be very high."

"Yes, it's very high. If we have volcanic sulfonite, we can not only make large quantities of rockets, but also reduce the requirements for saltpeter and increase the lethality of rockets!" Daisy immediately became excited when she heard the volcano. She dreamed of a volcano.

Luo Lan also wants to be that high-purity natural sulfur is simply a treasure, but the volcano is not available in Uttar Pradesh for the time being.

"Dais, don't worry, we will have a volcano soon."

Luo Lan smiled and said that Uttar Pradesh will be the one in his pocket sooner or later.

Daisy was immediately happy when she heard this, but her face turned dim again.

"Your Highness, the Rockets have a very serious problem. Its accuracy is too poor. It is almost impossible to hit the target if it is more than 30 meters apart. It is more than 30 meters apart, but the aim is shot."

The rocket's range is actually very long and its effective lethality is far greater than that of the bow and arrow, but accurate head is a big problem. When shooting for 100 meters, the elite archers may hit every shot, but the Rockets basically fail every shot.

Luo Lan had long thought about this question. He smiled and said, "A rocket is useless, but ten, fifty, and one hundred. The wooden platform you use to launch rockets can be transformed into a wooden tube."

"Mutong" Daisy was puzzled, and Luo Lan used a wooden stick to draw patterns on the ground.

This pattern is a hexagonal wooden barrel, like an elongated basket, with multiple small compartments inside, and a rocket can be placed in one small compartment.

Luo Lan introduced while drawing: "Our carpenters can make this wooden barrel. It is called a barrel launcher. It loads dozens of rockets at one time. After igniting it, the arrows are fired. Even if they are a hundred meters apart, they are lethal. Imagine that if one hundred barrel launchers are launched at the same time and thousands of rockets fly out, can the cavalry on the opposite side still survive?"

Daisy swallowed and shook her head cutely: "I can't live."

She understood the real role of the Rockets, which is to saturate the attack, not precise attacks.

Afterwards, Luo Lan also introduced a series of rocket weapons such as "bamboo tube musket" and "rocket tanks", which made Dai Si's mouth wide open.

These things can be made without requiring very high craftsmanship. They can be made with someone’s guidance.

As for cannons, iron firearms such as three-eyed guns still have to wait for a while. After all, the industrial technology of Buji Island is still too backward.

That night, the two of them had a chat for half a night and stopped in the middle of the night.

Daisy was also sleepy, covered her mouth and yawned, and secretly looked at Luo Lan.

Luo Lan sent her back to the mine to rest, and planned to find a place to sleep.

Daisy still looked at him secretly, looking reluctant to speak.

Luo Lan asked her what else she had to do, and she quickly shook her head: "It's gone, your highness, let's rest."

She blushed again as she said.

Luo Lan scratched her head and thought for a while before remembering: "By the way, you said you made a rocket and I will satisfy your wish, so tell me."

Daisy stuttered and lowered her head to pinch the corner of her clothes. She obviously cared about this.

Luo Lan looked at her gently: "What do you want?"

Daisy stumbled for a while and was about to speak when a scream came from the darkness: "Silver mine has been discovered!"

The sound suddenly scared Daisy and hit her head against the wall.

Luo Lan hugged her quickly and rubbed her head with heartache.

"It's Rick's voice, what's that guy called the ghost in the middle of the night?"

Luo Lan was so amused that Dess patted her chest and said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, go and see Mr. Rick, I...I'm resting."

"What about your wishes?"

"Let's talk about it next time, your highness, go and do your business." Daisy ran into the mine and quickly got caught in the quilt.

Rick had already arrived at the mining area, and he also brought a few cavalrymen, and the sound of horse hooves broke through the tranquility of the night.

"Rick, what's your name?" Luo Lan asked when he went out. Rick turned over and dismounted, and the torch illuminated his red face.

"Your Highness, silver ore! We used up all the last bombs and did not find silver ore. We planned to give up. But tonight, a rock suddenly collapsed, revealing white silver ore! Chisel a large piece of stone!"

The large piece in Rick's mouth is probably not a small number, otherwise he wouldn't have been so crazy.

Although Luo Lan expected to dig out the silver mine, she was very happy at this time.

Bouji Island finally has something valuable, and it is not easy to collapse now.

We have strategic resources!

"Your Highness, when will that Ms. Ai Iman come back, she can sell rum and silver mines?"

Rick was active in thinking, and he began to think about trade.

Luo Lan looked to the north, and Aiman's delicate face and wild figure appeared in his mind.

At this time, there was a docking port in the northern waters.

Several merchant ships that had been sailing for two months were leaning on the shore and would cross the East China Sea to Bishui Bay at dawn.

The boat was quiet and the sailors were all asleep.

The cabins of the three merchant ships were filled with inferior pyrite, which was purchased from one hundred kilograms of silver coins in the north.

A big man was walking on the boat, vigilant for the fleet.

When he walked to the other end of the deck, he saw the captain looking at the moon.

"Love Eman, why don't you rest?" said the big man with a cheeky frown, "No need to be nervous, Will is too lazy to intercept the pyrite."

Aiman ​​turned his head and chuckled, and casually tied his braids and said, "I'm not nervous, I just can't sleep. We are going well here, I don't know what happened to Luo Lan. He's doing everything he wants to die. I'm really afraid that Barron will kill him."

Aiman's mouth was raised lightly, and his proud figure was shining by the moonlight.

"How could Barron kill him and both of them are princes and lords of the Hailing Kingdom. There will be no war between the lords, and there is a king on top of them." Mead felt that love Iman was worried about nothing.

"Oh, poor fool prince."
