Li Er was startled when he heard this, "What is a flintlock gun?"
When Li Er was startled, everyone else on the side also looked surprised.
Flintlock gun, no one has heard of these three words!
The main reason is that this thing sounds like something that no one has ever understood. It is obvious that Li Sheng means that a flintlock gun is a musket - but not exactly. Rather, this flintlock gun is a type of musket.
Li Er and others thought about it carefully and suddenly understood.
Are the muskets currently manufactured by the imperial court just the "basic model" of muskets?
Of course, people like Li Er, Wei Zhengfang and Du did not know or heard of the term "basic model", but similar terms have been used in Chinese since ancient times. Of course, then again, although they probably know what Li Sheng said
What does it mean, but what is the logic behind this statement? Li Er is still confused.
The musket is not a musket, but just the basic model of the musket. This is like fast forwarding to the white horse and non-horse stage in minutes. Li Er just instinctively felt that Li Sheng's words were true, and there was a lot of information. Wei Zhengfang Du on the side
The others thought the same thing, but because they were ministers in the court rather than His Majesty, they were more sensitive to the language of people's conversations, so they understood more clearly that there was something more mysterious in Li Sheng's words.
"Sir, isn't the Tang Dynasty's musket powerful enough?"
"power."
Now that everyone started asking, Li Sheng, although he was annoyed for a while, looked unhappy, but he really explained seriously, saying, "The power of a musket is certainly much more powerful than a sword. Well, you don't work in the court.
And if you don’t have contact with the Forbidden Army, you may really not know.”
"Hey, hey hey," Li Sheng said this, and Li Er and others all giggled awkwardly, but Li Sheng didn't care about it. Anyway, businessmen may have a wide network of contacts, but they don't know so many inside stories.
It was nothing unusual, so he continued, "But this musket is a delicate thing after all, and since it is a delicate thing, of course it can be made even more delicate."
"For example, the barrel and bullets of this gun, no matter how you manipulate them, are still powered by gunpowder, but if the barrel and bullets can be loaded and rifled, then the bullets will rotate and fire when they exit the chamber."
"Rotate launch? What's the use of that?"
Wei Zheng couldn't help but froze, and he subconsciously asked this question, because Wei Zheng felt that it was completely unnecessary.
Regardless of whether it is a musket or an artillery piece, the power of the projectiles inside is provided by the gunpowder anyway. Whether it flies out directly or rotates, isn't it the same? If you have to use a rotating barrel, isn't this unnecessary?
?
The key is that Li Sheng's expression is full of interest and leisurely, which directly triggers Wei Zheng's passive skill - why does it smell like child's play? Wei Zheng is the last person to see anyone playing and laughing on important national events.
Yes, even when reading the Han Dynasty, Wei Zheng did not like Huo Qubing and other great heroes, although he recognized his achievements.
But of course, the person in front of him is Li Sheng after all, not someone else.
Li Sheng aside, first of all, the identity issue has not been resolved, so Wei Zheng could only hold back his temper and see what Li Sheng said first. And Fang Du next to him.
Unlike Wei Zheng, they had no objections to Dongfang Shuo's style. Being more showy would make it easier to deal with. However, Li Sheng's words were really thought-provoking. Fang and Du didn't quite understand what Li Sheng was talking about.
, but the two of them were more curious, and had an inexplicable and strange premonition and excitement. They were more curious about what Li Sheng meant, and the thing itself.
Even Li Er picked up his wine glass at this moment to cover up the burning gaze on his face. Li Er's thoughts at this moment were closer to those between Wei Zheng and Fang Du. On the one hand, Li Er also always felt that Li Sheng
This nagging tone was not appropriate. On the other hand, Li Er was also very curious. Li Sheng would not do anything for no reason. Since he said this "rifling" and "the bullet spirals",
Then it should really be of some use, but what use can it be?
How do projectiles fly out? Aren't they all the same?
However, everyone showed curious eyes, but Li Sheng then smiled slightly and said, "This is very useful. First of all, I have to confirm that you have been in business for so long, and you, Lao Li, are still a shipbuilder.
Yes, then you should at least know that there is 'wind resistance' in the movement of objects, right?"
"Wind, wind resistance?" Li Er was stunned for a moment, and was really confused by the question from Li Sheng - he used to call himself a merchant, and he was also in the boat building business, but he said this casually.
Zi Li Er was a little panicked and hesitated for a long time without saying anything.
However, Li Sheng glanced at him angrily, snorted and said nothing more, saying, "Forget it, this aerodynamics is also a high-end course for me, so I won't make things difficult for you. As long as you know the world between heaven and earth
It is filled with air. As long as the object moves, it will be blocked by the air. Do you admit this? It is because of the movement of air that there is wind in the sky and the earth, and the sails can move. "
"Air? Obstruction?"
This time it was Fang and Du's turn to look confused. What Li Sheng said was simply unheard of!
But when Li Sheng talked about the sails later, everyone's eyes lit up, and then they all suddenly understood - just as Li Sheng said, the movement of the sails is indeed related to the wind!
Based on the "wind" mentioned by Li Sheng, and then thinking about the "wind resistance" he mentioned earlier, Fang Du and others had some vague impressions in their minds - as expected, all the movements of things will be affected by wind resistance.
The obstruction of the wind!
It's just that sailing ships take advantage of this "wind resistance" in reverse, while ordinary things do.
At this time, Li Er's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, as if he suddenly remembered something. Although Wei Zheng and Fang Du didn't notice it, Li Er recalled in his heart that he had conquered the north and south, and the horse
Life on the back.
Although it has been a long time since I personally went into battle, my occasional hunting experience clearly told Li Er that when the rider is galloping on horseback, he is indeed lying down, so the resistance is smaller!
If you think about it this way.
Then the spiral flying musket ammunition seems to be understandable.
