When Lu Yinchang heard that Wang Shuo was going to use gunpowder to blow up the Shun army, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Our Ming army has always been equipped with firearms battalions, do you know why everyone has eliminated the firearms battalion?"
Wang Shuo smiled: "The shotguns of the firearms battalion take time to load ammunition, and the projectiles excited by gunpowder are not as far as bows and arrows."
Therefore, all powerful generals spent money on bows and arrows instead of shotguns. ”Lu Yinchang said: "That's right, this thing is not as powerful as a bow and arrow, and the current imperial court only switched to firearms because shotguns are cheaper than bows and arrows." ”Wang Shuo shook his head and said, "No."
The reason why firearms are inferior to bows and arrows is not that they are not as good as the real ones, but that the manufacturing method is wrong. ”Lu Yinchang looked at Wang Shuo suspiciously, this was the first time he had heard of this statement.Wang Shuo continued: "The gunpowder used by the Ming army is all powdered, too loose, and the gunpowder must be kept dry to be effective.And I have a new method, and the gunpowder made according to this method is completely different from the gunpowder used by the Ming army. ”Let's talk about new manufacturing methods.I was afraid that I would be blocked for suspected violations, so I had to omit a few.If you are interested in this, you can only go to the Internet to inquire about brain supplements or ask Lao Yu.I really don't dare to write it, and I've already sealed two chapters.The number of words in this chapter had to be reduced accordingly.Lu Yinchang didn't seem to understand it, but thinking about what Wang Shuo said, it seemed to make some sense.Wang Shuo said: "In the past, when gunpowder was allocated, things that were easy to obtain often accounted for the majority of the ingredients, which also affected the power of gunpowder.I have increased the other contents of the gunpowder, and the gunpowder made according to the new ratio is already much more powerful than the original gunpowder, and in addition, it can be loaded more closely, and my gunpowder is completely different from the original gunpowder," Wang Shuo said.The gunpowder made in the Ming Dynasty was mainly used to make fireworks and firecrackers, and the ratio and technology were far behind, which would cause the musket to be inferior to the bow and arrow and could not be used in actual combat.Some content is also omitted here, for fear of leaking state secrets, hehe.But with the power of the gunpowder that Wang Shuo is currently making, the chamber of the Ming army's musket cannot support such a huge explosive power.At that time, the barrels of shotguns were made of gray cast iron, and the strength was far from enough.Therefore, Wang Shuo was not in a hurry to make muskets, he had to find suitable iron ore, find a way to make steel with low carbon content, and have materials that could support the explosive power of gunpowder, and then consider making new muskets.However, there was no musket and Wang Shuo was not stumped.He had long been thinking about a way to defeat the Shun army, which was stronger than himself.Without muskets, he thought of the ancient stone thrower.He ordered a number of clay pots the size of pickle jars with small bellies and large bellies, and filled them with new explosives and loose pieces of iron.The ratio of the drug was also changed to make it suitable for the manufacture of fuses.Omitting a few, he put fuses on the mouths of these jars, sealed the mouths of the dead altars, lit the fuses that calculated the burning time, and threw these jars at the enemy with a stone-throwing machine, and the clay pots reached the enemy position, and the fuses burned just now, and the clay pots exploded.The Wang flowering bombs were made in this way.After testing, the power was amazing, and Lu Yinchang was stunned when he heard Wang Shuo finish speaking.He never imagined that the stone thrower, which had been invented for more than a thousand years, would be used by Wang Shuo in this way, and it was the first time he had heard of a flowering cannonball.But how powerful this thing is, whether it can blow up the enemy's offensive formation, he still doesn't know how much he knows.If Wang Shuo's method doesn't work, then they basically have no chance of winning, and they will even lose completely.The manufacture and testing of the flowering bombs were all carried out secretly at the base deep in the mountains, and Lu Yinchang had not seen them in person.Wang Shuo knew that no matter how he explained, Lu Yinchang couldn't imagine the power of the explosion of the flowering bomb, so he didn't explain it anymore, and let him see it for himself when the time came.In fact, in his heart, this method is just an idea, and no one has really used it.Whether he can rely on this method to resist Lu Wenbin's attack, he is not sure in his heart.But apart from this method, there is really no better choice in the face of the pressure of the Shun army
