Today the students were taken to the workshop, where each had to learn how to make buckshot from a mold.
The molds are very large, and the younger students work in pairs to melt the lead and pour it.
After the mold is opened, there are lead bullets with threaded lines, which have a hollow tail and have to be filled with a small cone-shaped wooden block.
Fang Xing picked up a lead bullet and loaded it into the musket, and introduced: "The gunpowder deflagrates in the barrel, expands the air, pushes the wooden block forward, and the tail of the hollow lead bullet will expand, which can make the gap between the lead bullet and the chamber smaller, the range is longer, and the accuracy is higher......"
"Okay, take a look at the molds for yourselves, and think about what the molds are made of."
This bullet is actually prepared for rifled guns, and the problem of rifling has long been solved, and it is enough to rotate it with a simple stick knife.
It's just that this processing method is time-consuming, so Fang Xing first prepared to build a sniper team.
At the end of the first class, Fang Xing took the students to the barracks.
Zhu Zhanji had already arrived, and was talking with Zhu Fang on the side of a bronze cannon.
Seeing that Fang woke up, Zhu Zhanji asked curiously, "Brother Dehua, what is this thing called?"
” "Cannon, artillery!"
Fang Xing called the students over and asked Zhu Fang to introduce the artillery.
"This is a bronze cast cannon, with a caliber of 90 millimeters, a barrel 1.5 meters long, not counting the frame, a total weight of 382 kilograms, firing iron bullets."
Zhu Fang patted the cast-iron gun carriage and said: "The gun body is fixed on the gun carriage and connected to the carriage, which can not only buffer the recoil of the launch, but also facilitate dragging, only one horse can be dragged away, and it is no problem for human power to drag it in an emergency." ” The students all stroked the cannon curiously, and took turns to ask Zhu Fang some specific manufacturing questions, as well as range and lethality.
"Brother Dehua, why don't we try?"
Zhu Zhanji also couldn't suppress his curiosity and wanted to test the power of an artillery.
Try it!
Fang Xing asked people to place multiple humanoid targets in the distance, and they were placed very densely.
"Get out of the way!"
A team of gunners who specialized in testing artillery arrived, and after saluting, they skillfully turned the muzzle of the gun, and then charged.
Finally, an iron bullet was loaded.
Fang Xing introduced to Zhu Zhanji: "This is a fixed charge, and the target can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the muzzle. ” A fuse was inserted into the medicine bag through the fire door, and the gunner lit it with a thin, red-hot iron rod, and then ......
Await!
The lead sneered and burned, and then ignited the medicine pack.
"Boom!"
The iron ball was pushed out of the muzzle and flew straight out.
Everyone followed the trajectory of the cannonball, gradually looking up, then looking down, and then watching it crash headlong into the target.
There was a crackling sound, and the wooden targets were like they had encountered a prehistoric monster, and the sawdust was scattered everywhere by the iron bullets.
"Bang!"
After a muffled sound, the iron bullet that rushed out of the target hit the ground and then bounced again.
"It's a secondary kill."
Just as Fang Xing was speaking, the bounced iron bullet destroyed a target again, and finally penetrated the target array, losing momentum before slowly stopping this violent performance.
Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, unable to speak.
The students and teachers are even more unbearable, and a few of them have been scared to the point that their legs are weak, and they all rely on grabbing the talents around them to avoid making a fool of themselves.
"Let's go, let's go see the effect."
Fang Xing smiled and invited Zhu Zhanji to see the lethality of the artillery.
When he arrived at the target array, seeing those targets destroyed by iron bullets, Zhu Zhanji was excited: "Brother Dehua, if you are equipped with a large number of such weapons and cooperate with the musket array, then I will ......
Ming."
Fang Xing said reservedly: "Artillery has the greatest lethality against dense formations, whether it is cavalry or foot soldiers. ” At this time, Ma Su asked, "Teacher, what if the enemy forces scatter the formation?"
” Fang Xing smiled: "That's simpler, the loose formation can't break through the musket array." ” Xu Fangda frowned and said, "Teacher, but the cost of copper is not small!"
” Copper is currency, and copper is the strategic resource of the Ming Dynasty.
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "A big copper mine has been discovered in Jiaozhi for the teacher. ” "It's just in time!"
Everyone felt that the discovery of this big copper mine was too timely, only Xie Jin and Huang Zhong, both of whom silently watched Fang Xing fooling people.
"With artillery, then my Ming Dynasty has the means to defeat the enemy from a distance, whether it is offensive or defensive, artillery will dominate the battlefield and become the god of the battlefield."
Fang Xing looked at the excited faces, and continued: "This is Fang Xue's practical case, by calculating the chamber pressure and bronze tolerance, as well as the wear degree, and finally accurately obtained the best charge, this is Fang Xue!"

” A wave of pride spread among the students, and many of Zhu Fang's opinions just now could be understood by everyone, which was unimaginable before.
Can the Four Books and the Five Classics teach people to understand the properties of these substances?
No!
Can the article teach people to combine these substances into a war machine through a series of changes?
No!
So what exactly can Confucianism do?
For the first time, these students took the initiative to think about this problem, and Xie Jin also stroked his beard and smiled, only Huang Zhong, he was thoughtful.
"Teacher, disciple understands."
To Fang Xing's surprise, the first person to realize was Li Ermao.
"Teacher, disciple thinks that Confucianism can teach me the truth, the truth of being a person and doing things."
Li Ermao's eyes were blazing and said: "But you can't teach me how to resist foreign enemies, so the disciple thinks that the truth can only educate people's hearts, and to be strong, it can only be ......."
"Ahem!"
Fang Xing saw that Zhu Zhanji had already come from the final landing point of the iron bullet, so he interrupted Li Ermao's words with a dry cough.
"Truth, but what Fang learns and teaches is also truth."
Fang Xing said: "It's just that what Fang Xue teaches is the principle of all things, and man is only one of all things!"
” "Good!"
Xie Jin clapped his hands and applauded: "Dehua's words are very true, everything is in it, we must not only learn our own truth, but also need to ......
What does that mean?
” "Explore the world!"
Ma Su reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Xie Jin said happily: "What Dehua said about exploring the world, and this world includes the sky and stars above our heads, if we can know the mystery, the old man has no regrets in this life!"
” Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Mr.
Xie will definitely have this day, and Dehua should help him." ” Zhu Zhanji was also a little uncontrollable and said: "Mr.
Xie is willing to be poor and cultivate talents for my Ming Dynasty, which should be blessed." ” What a promise!
Promise as the future prince!
Xie Jin's eyes were red, and he arched his hand and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the old man should be the incarnation of Tao Li for me from now on, and he will die without regrets!"
” Fang Xing snorted and said, "There is also a test of double charge below, everyone stay away." ” This interruption puzzled Zhu Zhanji, but Fang Xing did not explain.
"The prince of a country, you must think twice before you speak."
Fang Xing threw down this sentence, and then said to those students: "After trying this shot, everyone will go home today, it's a holiday." ” Why the holiday?
Without mentioning the joy of the students, Xie Jin was a little puzzled.
But it was already loading, so everyone was staring at the muzzle......
"Boom!"
This cannon was louder than the previous one, and the recoil was not small, and the entire gun carriage withdrew more than two meters away.
When the black dot appeared, everyone couldn't keep up with its speed, and could only watch as the cannonball passed directly through the target and then disappeared.
