Chapter 183 Artillery
The reason why the Nimi bomb is called Nimi bomb is that its ultimate improvement is French General Claudi.\nNimi (also translated as Minnie)
This is like the world's first single-shot loading rifle, designed by the German Mauser. When this series of rifles became popular all over the world, people were accustomed to calling it Mauser rifles.
This is a great honor for scientific researchers, such as Newton's Law, Galileo's Formula, Pascal's Hexagon Theorem... These all emerged after the Western Renaissance since the 17th century.
When Lu Zhou was studying professional content in the past, he found that it was full of formulas and laws of naming Westerners. He also fantasized about what kind of luck he had on one day and could bring up some bugs that others had never thought of.
However, for hundreds of years, the places where science can occupy the defining pit have long been monopolized by the West, as if the whole world is what they say.
But in fact, this does not mean that there are some truths that no one has thought of before the West.
Scientists in the middle and late Ming Dynasty also emerged one after another, and they all reflected many manifestations in agricultural water conservancy and scientific research, which was a systematic and comprehensive development...
The entire society in the late Ming Dynasty reached a very high level of inclusiveness to science.
There are even examples of people who failed the imperial examination, but because they are good at designing firearms, they can be promoted to officials.
So, from papermaking, gunpowder, printing... For thousands of years, there has never been a shortage of creation and invention on the land of China.
But behind, a fault of more than two hundred years appeared inexplicably.
From the mid-17th century to modern times, people no longer have any unnecessary ideas.
Many science books are also listed as banned books.
"Lu Gong bombs... are acceptable, and they are still acceptable. In the future, the place where bullets pass by can also promote the reputation of the lord."
Xu Guangming followed the side and agreed. In fact, he thought that it would be fine if it was called a light flare.
Lu Zhou just shook his head and smiled, and did not take this matter to heart. He actually hoped that Xu Guangming and others would come up with the law of light and the law of Zhang one day...
But this will definitely take time. Lu Zhou still has to speed up the scientific research process as a guide.
"It's bright, the development of bullets can actually make great progress.
You can't stop there.
For example, wrap a circle of iron sheets on the conical warhead and put gunpowder in it..."
Lu Zhou’s simple tips.
"Iron...gunpowder?"
Xu Guangming was silent for a long time, as if he had realized something, but he did not speak out immediately because he thought of many possibilities and difficulties.
The students behind him were full of energy.
Young thinking can always be more radical.
......
Massive production of rifled guns began.
In more than a month, a batch of military uniforms from the spinning factory were also made.
A total of three thousand sets have been distributed to Lu Zhuang Bingding.
Standing on the top of the city, you can see many soldiers wearing bright red war suits practicing every day.
However, since the rifle has already started to be equipped, the original armor does not need to be so bulky.
Lu Zhuang asked Cui Niang to sew only cotton armor in the future, and only one layer of the protective net inside would be enough.
In this way, whether it is injury treatment or transfer to the battlefield, you will be more flexible. After all, the efficiency of action on the battlefield is life.
The entire army's equipment was facing upgrades again. After a few days, Lu Zhou came to the training ground and was about to prepare to start reviewing the artillery troops.
Among the 4,000 personal soldiers brought back by Lu Zhou, a total of 1,000 were placed in the artillery unit.
Lu Zhou attaches great importance to the cultivation of artillery.
In order to allow the artillery soldiers to have enough training, a closed training ground was opened in the wilderness outside Luzhuang City.
A barracks were also built here for artillery soldiers to live in. There were sufficient warm facilities, gunpowder and ammunition in the barracks. At this time, gunpowder is a scarce resource for anyone.
There is no exceptional force like Lu Zhou who can provide soldiers with training every day regardless of cost.
In Lu Zhou's view, artillery qualities are the highest.
Because artillery requires extremely strong operability and linkage capabilities.
At the same time, at this period, there are only a handful of troops that can truly exert the power of artillery.
Judging from the previous battle situation, neither Lu Zhou's Tianwu Army nor the enemy troops he encountered could be considered professional.
So now, there are all young people in their twenties in their twenties.
At the same time, in order to improve the mathematical knowledge of the artillery, there is a research institute person in the barracks taking shifts to teach them to class every day.
Being able to read is also the basic skill of artillery soldiers.
The one who is responsible for training soldiers is now a young general named Zhou Zheng. He was originally a college student at Luzhuang University, but he prefers to train in the army.
Zhou Zheng Lu Zhou gave a military salute and reported loudly: "Lord, fifty cannons have been prepared, please invite the cannon suit!"
"Let's start!"
Lu Zhou waved his hand.
Zhou Zheng turned around and raised his flag to command.
Ancient people respected cannons very much. Before firing cannons, they removed the cannon suits and called it a request for cannon suits.
The cannon suit is like a jacket with a barrel, which is used to camouflage and protect the cannon.
Fifty artillery pieces lined up one by one, and just twenty people were in charge of one place.
At the forefront are twenty Franco cannons made by the artillery factory.
The gunner took the lead in observing the sight of the gun and the sight of the gun with his eyes, and adjusted and aimed at the targets in the distance.
After confirming that it was correct, the loader put the sub-gun into the hole in the gun barrel. With a period of command, the gunner lit the fuse on the fire door.
In an instant, the fire and smoke continued, and loud rumbling came.
Twenty cannons fired at the same time, and the sound of sound shocked the entire grassland.
Most of the wooden boards placed in the distance exploded.
The effective range of the standard heavy artillery is three miles, which can achieve effective shooting effect within 1,500 meters. The ballistics are basically straight lines parallel to the ground.
If you hit a further target, you need to use a projectile, but the accuracy of the projectile will decrease.
This has even greater professional requirements for gunners.
Because the elevation angle of the artillery and the amount of gunpowder must also be taken into account.
After twenty artillery fired flat, they began to turn into projectiles.
From far-shot to close-range shots, Zhou Zheng kept directing the gunners to adjust the shooting angle. It can be seen that the trained gunners have made great progress and are calm between the loud noises and the smoke.
The cannon roared, and whenever the flames sprayed out the shells, the cannon body would sink backwards, and then the shells would fly out.
Lu Zhou only saw a piece of fire pits falling several miles away from the snow-covered piece of land.
Of course, many shells fell outside the circle, raising waves of snow.
"Zhou Zheng, do the artillery captains have telescopes?"
Lu Zhou asked to the next head.
"The lord, if you have all, the cannon leader will use telescopes.
Five days ago, after each person issued one, it could be used to assist in artillery correction!”
Zhou Zheng reported.
