The next day, Lin Zhiyang's father and daughter and Li Gefei came to the General Bing Mansion, but they fluttered an empty. Only Ye Yaozhen was receiving them because Shang Yi had rushed to the arsenal to deal with important things.
So Lin Zhiyang could only say to Ye Yaozhen that he was willing to invest in the glass factory. Ye Yaozhen also agreed, and after Shang Yi returned, he would tell him.
It turned out that after returning at the glass factory yesterday, Shang Yi was pulled by Sun He Ding and rushed to the arsenal.
Now the arsenal has started to operate, and the Spanish artisans have also created some machine tools, screw beds, drilling machines, wire -pulling machines, pressure -extended machines, cranes, gravity 锺, and other mechanical equipment that are currently used in Europe.
Many. At present, the arsenal has reached the production capacity of 300 to four hundred to 400 roses and 40 to sixty of artillery. After the increase and continuous improvement of machinery and equipment in the future, the productivity will further improve the productivity.
Then, then
The new types of new weapons and technical improvements that Shang Yi cares about has also made certain progress. The artillery model mud model of Napoleon gun has been done well and is drying;
After doing it, the Spanish craftsman Doromos, who pays the responsibility, made two rifle machinery, used steel and jade to make a knife, and had made twenty -rifle barrels.
Sun He Ding asked Shang Yi to test the gun.
After the barrel is engraved with the rifle, it really is very large, and the range is doubled immediately. Generally, the effective range of the hair gun is about eighty steps, but after the rib tube is replaced, it reaches 167.
Ten steps, farther than Lubmi. The accuracy is also greatly improved. Within a hundred steps, the wheezing canine soldiers test to shoot, shot eight in the eighth, pulled to 130 steps, and reached ten shots.
Sixth Middle School. It can be said that this hit rate is quite considerable. And now the glass is created. If you can install a sight in the future, the accuracy will be further improved.
However, many problems are also exposed. The first is to fill the bullet very slowly. Because the rifle guns are columnar bullets, and the diameter of the bullet is slightly larger than the gun tube, so as to achieve a good sealing effect.
When filling the bomb, use Xiao Yan to give the bullet into the barrel. There is also a much larger wear of the rifle to the boring tube than the slide gun. Generally, a boring tube that can be fired about sixty times is engraved.
After the rifle, it can only be launched ten to fifteen times, and the rifle will basically be worn, and it cannot be used again. Therefore, the life of the wire bore is far lower than that of the smooth bay.
The hair guns are all ignited with vermiculite. The ignition is very unstable. The most sophisticated hair gun also has about 20 % of the dumb fire rate.
The ammunition is extremely troublesome.
These problems have appeared during the development process of wire guns. Therefore, although in this era, the rifle guns have occurred, but the reasons that have not been popular. Until the beginning of the 19th century, people slowly groped out to solve the solution.
The method. And the wire cannon is not widely used until the beginning of the battle. But for the traversers, of course, you don't have to explore slowly, and use some ready -made experience in history.
The first problem is very easy to solve. In fact, the famous Mini rifle is actually the problem of solving the difficulty of filling the bullet. It is not so much that the Mini rifle has changed the status of the rifle.
The diameter of the bullet is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the boring tube, and there is a small conical hole at the bottom of the projectile. When the launch of a cork with a cork.
The rifle, closed the gap between the warhead and the barrel, so that the gas cannot be leaked, and it can also rotate the warhead at high speed under the rifle. Therefore, the Manye bomb solves the difficulty of the front -loading rifle.
The low problem also made the rifle finally exceed the artillery, becoming a decisive weapon on the battlefield at that time.
In another time and space, after solving the problem of loading, the front -loaded rifle rifle quickly popularized a large scale around the world. In this era, this process is not difficult, but Shang Yi does not want Spanish craftsmen to know this.
Secret secrets, first built the barrel, and then made a bomb.
The second problem is tricky, mainly because the metallurgical technology is backward, and the iron hardness of the barrel is insufficient. The result of the copper material is similar.
Try it, although the steel in this era cannot be compared with later generations, but it is also much greater than the raw iron, the cast iron is much more hard. At the same time, the craftsmen of Spain can also help improve China's steelmaking technology.
It is very ideal to reach the shooting life of 30 to 40 times. In a battle, in general, the number of shootings of a musket is between twenty and thirty times.
That is a very big battle.
Although the third problem is also very troublesome, after the solution, not only the performance of the wiring gun can be greatly improved, but the hairpiece can also reach the level of upgrading.
It is to have a better fire material, that is, the fire hat, which is difficult to say, and it is easy to say, and now Shang Yi must start to solve it. The materials are ready.
There must be thunder mercury. Thunder and mercury is the process of explosive medicine. The process of mine mercury is not complicated: Simply put, the mercury is dissolved in nitric acid, mixed with alcohol, and finally reflected the product.
Mercury is mercury. Although Shang Yi currently only collects hundreds of pounds of mercury, the amount of mercury needs a fire hat is very small, so it is enough. Alcohol is better. In fact, there is a high degree of liquor in China.
Just steam the height of liquor once, you can get alcohol with a concentration of more than 96 %.
Only nitric acid is a difficult problem, but it is not unable to overcome it. In the 8th century AD, the Arab alchemist Jobil Ibn Harbin?
He is also the discoverer of sulfuric acid and Wang Shui. It also said in [Mysterious Island] in Vernes that nitric acid can be made with sulfuric acid. As long as there is sulfuric acid, there is nitric acid.
In this era, the method of sulfuric acid was introduced from Western missionaries to China, which was to use soap alum to refine green alum oil to obtain sulfuric acid, but this value has not been discovered by the Chinese in this era.
There is also a place to use martial arts. After concentrated sulfuric acid, you can do nitric acid. It adds nitrogen to the sulfuric acid, and then slowly heated to use the volatility of nitric acid to obtain concentrated nitric acid.
In this way, the materials of the mineral mercury are all prepared, and you can start making light mercury.
The manufacturing of gunpowder products is also the most dangerous part of the entire military chemical system. Even in a modern factory environment, danger occurs from time to time, not to mention ancient times when the production equipment and the environment are very simple.
The requirements for the manufacturing specifications are very strict, and finally they are lucky. So far, there have been no major accidents in the production of arms.
Although the thunderoscope itself is sensitive and dangerous, it is relatively safer than other explosives in the humid environment. However, Shang Yi is also the first time to make mineral mercury.
And only he has common sense and experience in this area, so the first system can only be demonstrated by him. And in a laboratory alone, for safety reasons, others have withdrawn from the reflection.
Laboratory. But ten craftsmen were selected to watch, because the next time it was the turn to complete this dangerous job.
Of course, before the operation, Shang Yi also copied the entire process process and gave them to them over and over again until it could be completely recited.
And Shang Yi also put on a bullet -proof coat, brought a helmet, and a full armed. I took a few deep breaths first. I thought that since I came to this era, it was so easy to hang up.
Only started.
(Because the method of making thunder mercury is the content of the crab, it is not written in detail.)
After about an hour and a half, the whole production process was also tested to get a speed. A total of about a pound of mine mercury was obtained. It was basically enough to test it.
To dry for a few days, and the ten craftsmen who watched the entire process process will start from tomorrow, and will also be used independently to make mineral mercury.
The fire hat is best made of copper. Although it is a bit extravagant, a fire hat cannot be abolished, and now Shang Yi has also opened the copper mine, so it can be acceptable.
It is difficult to do well for a while, but this does not prevent testing on the wire rifle.
Three days later, the first batch of Micini bullets for testing was done, and the fire hat was done well, and they could start re -testing again.
The result of this time is also very satisfactory. After using the fire hat, the success rate of the shooting is almost 100 %. After changing the Minni bomb, the range has been further improved. The effective range has reached more than 200 steps.
That is, the distance of 300 meters. And the warhead of the Minni bomb is cone -shaped, so the penetrating power is extremely strong. Put through a layer of iron armor, about one eighty steps.
At about one hundred and fifty steps, it can reach more than 50 %. Within 120 steps, almost every shot can penetrate three layers of iron armor. Shi Zhi can be used as a blocking rifle.
The gun only accounts for 10 % of the entire army, and it can also greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the merchant army.
Prior to this, the longest range of Luneli must be about eighty steps to achieve this effect. And the birds must be within 50 steps, and only 60 or 70 % of the breakdown rate. Of course, in this distance, in this distance
Inside, even if you can't wear three layers of armor, you can cause great pain and lose the combat effectiveness.
Shang Yi is also very satisfied with this result. Now after the steel pipe is done, it will be seen after the effect of the fire hat. At the same time, the test of the fire hat can be eliminated. Starting from considering the development of the rear gun, and lightning mercury can also be used as a grenades and blasting bombs, which greatly improves the efficiency of these two weapons. Therefore, although the wire cannon can not be manufactured for the time being, it can also surpass the equipment level of the merchant army. A big step in this era.
