After repeated thoughts, Shang Yi decided to use no welding tube. Because Shang Yi knew that the bow and arrows of this era, in addition to a small number of special strong bows, or long bows of Shangyi cottage, the normal bow and arrow range was also there was also the range of the arrows in the cottage of Shangyi. From sixty to seventy steps, if you want to shoot through iron armor, you must also enter the range within 50 steps. In contrast, the bird's pupa still has a little wind in the range, and the power is much larger. At the same time, There are fast -moving speeds, simple craftsmanship and other advantages. Generally speaking, it is better than the disadvantages.
And Lubi is different. Lu Mi's own structure is very complicated. As a result of the pipe tube, it is the result of the integrated tube of the tube. The pipe tube is excellent in safety, so the service life is much longer than that of the bird, and you don't need to change the tube frequently.
A fine Lunemi can have a range of 150 steps, and the accuracy is much higher than that of birds. It can be used as a sniper rifle in this era. Those two tensions that can be tightly set up and polished. You need to complete the old technicians from the artist for more than ten years. The blacksmith in Muling Guan cannot be made at present. There are problems, but other structural maintenance is not good, so it can be repaired basically.
However, it is precisely because the Luneli system is extremely precise and cannot be made for the time being. Therefore, when the musket soldiers are trained in real bombs, they do not use Luneli. Instead, they use birds.
However, Sun He Ding has studied Lunmi, and has also conceived several improvements. Under the premise of slightly reduced performance, you can greatly simplify the craftsmanship. Only the tube must use the drilling machine.
Therefore, after Shang Yi and Sun He Ding, Tong Fang and others discussed it, they also decided to let Sun He Ding draw the drawings of the mechanical drilling machine first, and after repairing all the fireproofs, start making mechanical drilling machines. After Sun He Ding's improvement, Lubi 铳.
Another point that determines the power of fire is gunpowder. Although the power of black gunpowder is not great, there is no other choice in this era. It can only be tapped on the black gunpowder.
There are two main ways to increase the power of black gunpowder. One is the three elements that constitute black gunpowder: charcoal, nitric, sulfur, and a reasonable ratio of sulfur. Proper proportion also improves the power of black gunpowder as much as possible. In Shangyi's computer, there are three types of black gunpowder formulas, which are used as explosives, cannonballs and bullets. The best ratio of scientific experiments proved. Shang Yi naturally uncomfortable as his own.
Although the gunpowder craftsman of Mulingguan also questioned Shang Yi's formula, according to the requirements of Shang Yi's strong order, the new gunpowder was required to perform the proportion system according to the formula of Shang Yi.
And the power of another black gunpowder is to make granular black gunpowder. Because granular black gunpowder will produce gaps and oxygen, the gunpowder can be fully burned, the residual residues can be It is much larger, and it is easy to store and transport. In the 16th century, granular gunpowder was introduced into China after passing through, and Qi Jiguang used granular gunpowder in Qi Jiajun, but it was not the mainstream in China. Therefore, Mu is now Mu. None of the gunpowder artisans in Lingguan will make granular gunpowder.
Fortunately, it is difficult to fall into Shangyi. Making granular black gunpowder is mainly used to use wet method. It is said that this method was invented by the French. Rubbing the mix of sulfur; use, the stone wheel or the big head gradually presses them into pink -shaped and mix well, and it is large cake -shaped; during the suppression process, the water is gradually dry, and the nitrogen will form a crystal from the beginning. Wrap the charcoal powder and sulfur; then scatter the big cake into a small particle -shaped stage, add graphite powder to light, and pack it after worrying.
In the process of making, the use of water greatly reduces the possibility of dust explosion, and the re -crystallization of the nitrated gratitude can firmly combine other raw materials to make it stable in quality.
According to the method provided by Shang Yi, the gunpowder craftsman really made the gunpowder into a material shape, and it looked like a quick -soluble coffee or plate Bantan granules in later generations. After with granular gunpowder, the power of the artillery fire was not only greater. It can also be used to make simple grenades.
And Shang Yi also introduced another major invention of the history of musket development -paper tube fixed gunpowder.
The paper tube is equipped with gunpowder, which is all included in the quantitative gunpowder and projectiles in a long paper tube. When filling, bite the paper tube with your mouth, first pour some gunpowder to the fire door. Even if the mouth is completed, sometimes a deer skin can be stuffed to ensure the strictness of the filling. This will not only ensure the power of each shooting of the bullet, but also greatly reduce the loading steps of gunpowder and speed up the shooting.
In the Bird's hand in the Daming Army, there is actually a certain customization. In the Qi Jiajun, everyone with a bamboo tube equipped with gunpowder is quantitative. Fifty -three. But this approach is not popular among the Ming Army, and after all, it still separates gunpowder and projectiles, and the bamboo tube cannot be directly inserted into the tube. Therefore Then, then
And Sun He Ding also respects Shang Yi. These technologies seem to be very simple in later generations, but in this era, they have a great role in the improvement and development of the performance of fire. It seems that it seems that it seems that it seems. Shang Yi does not attach importance to firearms, and has a profound research. If he can do things under such people, Sun He Ding also feels comfortable.
Due to the accumulation of the previous period, Mulingguan not only has more than 2,000 pounds of ready -made gunpowder, but also sets more than 5,000 pounds of raw materials for the production of gunpowder. It can also produce wood carbon and nitrate. Granular gunpowder and paper tube fixed gunpowder, what is the need to make simple grenades, so the workload of making gunpowder is also greater. , I can only work during the day, so that people are very insufficient.
Therefore, Shang Yi also recruited sixty young women from the residents, and assigned to the gunpowder workshop to help make gunpowder. In fact, it is not difficult to make gunpowder, and it is not difficult to make gunpowder. It is more suitable for women to do it. In this way, the complex and difficult crafts such as the system of granular gunpowder are made by craftsmen. Women are only responsible for raw materials such as wood carbon, nitrate, sulfur, and other raw materials into powder. Then quantitative ratio, and the granular gunpowder will be filled in the paper shell later.
In addition, Shang Yi asked the woodworking workshop to make a group of containers with gunpowder. Women only need to install various raw materials with different containers, and hand over to gunpowder craftsmen. There will be a mistake. In this way, the efficiency of the production of gunpowder has also greatly improved.
The focus of Shang Yi's current improvement is fire. It is temporarily not treated with the existing fifteen large and small artillery in Mulingguan, but in addition to only some simple maintenance, some small improvements have also been added.
First of all, the ears are added to the Gate artillery, and tailor -made cannons and wheels tailor -made, and also made vehicles dedicated to transport artillery. This can easily adjust the firing angle of the artillery. It can save a lot of energy, and can also carry the artillery to a large -scale handling.
Originally, Shang Yi also wanted to introduce a technology of Guan Jian to the artillery, that is, the accuracy of the artillery with a ruler was used to accurately. It also made a special ruler for each cannon. The cultural level is too bad, and almost no one is literate. Therefore, Shang Yi taught them a few days, and no one would use it. Shang Yi had to temporarily give up this plan. It's imminent.
However, it seems that the existing artillery player can't expect it. You must accompany the young team as the backbone of the artillery.
When establishing a group, Shang Yi stipulated that the team of the young team must learn to recognize the words, and they also found two shows in the village to teach them some [Sanzi Scriptures] [Bai Family Surnames] [Disciples Regulations] and the like. However, because of the continuous battle, it also stopped when the teachings were taught, and they were intermittent. Now they have gathered Mulingguan, and Shang Yi also realized the importance of the backbone of the reserve of the companion. Xiucai was also in Guanli, so he ordered the young team to start classes. At the same time, Sun Hejing taught them arithmetic, and let Sun He fight for the military law
Among the three brothers of the Sun family, Sun He Ding was completely responsible for the production of artillery, muskets, and gunpowder, and the sky was very busy. Turning back and forth in each training field, watching the training of soldiers, sometimes also communicated with Shang Yi and other generals to communicate the military law. It's boring to chat with the monk.
Therefore, Shang Yi asked him to teach the youth team to teach, and it was still teaching. It happened that there was something to do, and from his heart, he also hoped that arithmetic was popular in Daming, although Shang Yi only needed him to teach the youth team some some Simple addition, subtraction and multiplication method can be used. It is not too complicated to calculate, but it is also a very good issue for Sun Hejing, so he also went to take office.
For arithmetic, Shang Yi has also considered using Arabic numerals to replace the traditional Chinese characters. Because in many novels, the protagonist has done such things. And the Arabic numerals are indeed very simple and more practical, which can be simply performed very easily. Appointment operation formula. And Sun Hejing also knows Arabic numerals.
However, in actual use, I encountered a small trouble. Arabic numerals were horizontal text, and ancient Chinese layouts were vertical. This is also twisted in actual use. The number of numbers holds objections, and the opposition is actually the text of Fanyi.
However, Shang Yi immediately thought of solving the solution, that is, using simplified Chinese numbers. Of course, when using the "zero" number, it still uses a circle. At this time, the advantage of the block characters is immediately reflected.
The vertical vertical row is irrelevant. And the convenient function of Arabic numerals can be achieved, and the simplified Chinese figures are also not inferior. And Sun Hejing also praised Shang Yi's initiative, and immediately decided to use this simplified simplified that simplified.
