Chapter 367 Weapon research and development is a vast project, as the saying goes, life lies in movement, and Quanxu lies in tossing.Because of a boss like Quan Xu, the Gun Bureau of Jinzhou City came up with new gadgets from time to time for Quan Xu to visit.Some of the R&D is really good, and some are very cheating.Just like now, a certain great inventor put the rods of a hundred guns on a car with three wheels, and a hundred barrels, looking like a metal storm in later generations, it is very shocking.However, it is incomparably worse that this kind of firebolt is very primitive and very complicated, and it is actually the original way of pouring the fire pipe from the barrel, and then poking it and stuffing it with lead.When the 100 torch pipes were loaded, half an hour passed."
Dashuai, you see, if this kind of gun car is lined up at one time, the number does not need to be too much, only a hundred, even if the enemy has thousands of troops and horses, under the fire of this kind of gun car, there will definitely be death or life!""
Give it a try!"
Quanxu has no feeling for this kind of gun car at all.Not surprisingly, a target was placed in front of the cart, and as a result, with the ignition of the rope, the cart began to bang non-stop, indeed as this brother said, the fire was dense, very spectacular, but it was quite a pity that in addition to the first few rounds of bullets can also hit the target, the lead behind does not know where to hit.Jeon Wook was very disappointed.That benevolent brother also looked sluggish, how could it be different from what he imagined?
This brother must not know about recoil.At this time, the Gun and Artillery Bureau had under the jurisdiction of the Musket Research Institute, the Artillery Research Institute, the Bullet Research Institute, the Artillery Research Institute, the Rocket Artillery Research Institute, the Naval Artillery Research Institute, and the Gunpowder Research Institute......
The Rocket Artillery Research Institute is strong, and there are more than 200 craftsmen who have participated in the design and transformation of rockets, many of whom are excellent craftsmen directly recruited by Quan Xu from the Beijing Gun and Artillery Bureau with high salaries.There is no way, the gun bureau in Beijing is too corrupt.It's like doing business, a chief military officer like Quan Xu needs to receive gunpowder and spend money to buy it, of course, the cost is only about one-tenth, but the equipment of the gun bureau is simply miserable.A hundred tigers run together, the effective range is only thirty steps, and the penetration is almost none, not even the penetration power tied to the target, let alone penetrating the armor, wearing a cotton coat, a hundred tigers are powerless.Under Quanxu's money offensive, more than 100 outstanding craftsmen disappeared directly from the list, some of them died violently, some lost their ability to work and became waste, and some fled.In short, these people disappeared directly from the Gun Bureau and crossed the ocean to Jinzhou in southern Liaoning.Under the hospitality of Quanxu's delicious food and drink, these excellent craftsmen came up with two mature rocket launchers in less than a year from the original version of the Divine Fire Flying Crow.However, this kind of rocket artillery is far from satisfying Quan Xu.Quan Xu took the design drawings he had drawn, and all the craftsmen were dumbfounded, and everyone looked at each other, this thing is a rocket?
What a hellish rocket this is!
Quan Xu didn't care what they thought, he just gave an order: "The body of this rocket must be made of metal, as light and thin as possible, and strong."
There are two layers in the body of the projectile, one is loaded, one is loaded, and the warhead is loaded with no less than ten catties, and the explosion must be full, so that the entire projectile body will be blown to pieces, and enough shrapnel will be produced to kill and injure the enemy, well, have you seen these wings?
It is to play a stabilizing role and ensure that the rocket artillery shells can accurately hit the target.As for the range......
If I set the bar too high, it might be a bit difficult for you, so let's set the range at six miles first, and the effective range at three miles!
”The director of the Rocket Artillery Research Institute, Ge Qingshan, who had just been promoted, spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and looked at Quan Xu with grief and indignation: "Your standard is not high?"
”Quan Xu also has no choice, the load capacity of a battleship is limited, and the key is that the recoil of the artillery is too large, and as soon as the giant cannon goes down, it is possible to sink the battleship.This is not alarmist, Quan Xu remembers as if he had read it in a book, there was a battleship during World War I and World War, because the ship's guns were too large and the recoil was too large, and the battleship moved dozens of meters horizontally after one shot.However, the current warships are wooden structures, and it is easy to fall apart.Because Huayang Society hired the Dutch Combined Fleet to escort one hundred and fifty artillery pieces, its purpose was to use the Dutch Combined Fleet to threaten Quan Xu, but Quan Xu did not take the Dutch Combined Fleet in his eyes.Although Quan Xu's elimination of the Dutch Combined Fleet did not show its feet, in fact, there is no evidence, it does not matter, although the sea is full of various crises, but thirteen armed merchant ships with a full load displacement of thousands of tons, it is almost impossible to wipe them out.The Dutch have no evidence, but does the evidence matter?
In the eyes of the strong, the so-called evidence is a fart, when you want to beat you, what evidence do you want, just start fighting, Quan Xu remembers that in a book, it seems that because the sheep ate the other party's cabbage, the country was directly destroyed.How could the Dutch, as the overlord of the New Age of Discovery, swallow this breath, they would definitely find Quan Xu's head.In fact, Quan Xu hated the climate of southern Liaoning very much, and he didn't need Zheng Chenggong for the Dutch and Spaniards who occupied Taiwan, and he decided that after the Second Fleet of the Liaodong Naval Division was formed, he would take the initiative to attack and occupy Taiwan.The mainland's internal strife will take more than ten years to determine the winner or loser, and the advantages of occupying Taiwan are obvious; Taiwan's rainfall is relatively abundant, which is very convenient for planting rice in Tuntian, and at the same time, Taiwan can also be used as a base for the advance of the whole army, taking the lead in wrestling hands with the European powers.Before the naval artillery has made a complete breakthrough, the rocket artillery can make a breakthrough and can also solve this problem, in the previous actual combat, the power of the rocket artillery is still very good.In particular, fifteen consecutive shots at a time can scare you to death even if they can't kill you.As for whether the craftsmen can get it out, this is Guan Quanxu's business, and his purpose is to give orders.After visiting several major research institutes of the Gun Bureau, Quan Xu began to visit the shipyard again.In the shipyard, a clipper is being intensively built on the dock.This clipper is the main warship of the future family navy, with a full load displacement of about 1,200 tons, and adopts a three-masted and three-story design.It is expected to be able to load thirty-eight smoothbore guns with a caliber of one hundred and thirty mm and twenty-eight times, of course, this is only a transitional product, and Quanxu's plan is that in the future it can be loaded with a smoothbore gun of a caliber of one hundred and fifty mm and thirty-five times.Such a cannon can scrap the Dutchman's third-class battleship, and if that kind of sulfur incendiary bomb is used, it can hit the Dutchman's second-class battleship, even if it is a first-class battleship, it can't resist a few shots.For the construction of the clipper ship, Quan Xu didn't point fingers, he just pulled the craftsmen to pull the homework."
How is life in southern Liaoning?
Still used to it?
If there are any difficulties in life, if there are difficulties, you can tell me directly, we can solve what we can solve, and find a way to solve what we can't solve. ”Quan Xu's words moved all the shipbuilders, especially Li Chonggui, a master who was dug from Nanjing Jiangnan Shipyard with a high salary, and he was moved to tears."
The adult not only gave the old man an annual salary of one hundred taels of silver, but also bought a small building and fifty acres of fertile land for the old man, so that the old man's family can have no worries about food and clothing, if the old man is not satisfied, it is no conscience.""
It's good if you're satisfied, I'm really afraid that you'll be dissatisfied, so I'll run away in a fit of anger!"
Quan Xu said solemnly: "Our Liaodong Navy Division warships are dilapidated, but the battleships are not as good as the Westerners, in case of a war, it will suffer a big loss, naval warfare is different from land warfare, even if the land war conditions are difficult, they still have the opportunity to fight with knives, but at sea, if there is no good ship, you want to fight hard, you have no chance, you are working all day long, work, I guess you will get tired of it, right?"
Want to do something challenging?
”Everyone looked at Ye Chonggui with sympathy, and the thoughts in their hearts were written on their faces: "This time you are miserable!"
”Ye Chongguiming felt a chill attacking people, and the two trembled, but he ate other people's short mouths and took other people's soft hands, he ate and took it, and it was really unreasonable not to help others do something.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Does the general want to build a better ship?"
Just open your mouth, big fortune boat, small fortune boat, horse boat, sand horse, flat ship、......
As long as the general opens his mouth, the old decay can help you make it!
”Quan Xu waved his hand: "If I just build these ships, why should I set up this ship research?"
I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to build a big ship made of steel!
”"Steel ships?"
Li Chonggui looked incredulous: "How is this possible?
Isn't the steel ship going to sink?
”"Hearing is false, seeing is believing!"
In fact, Quan Xu does not necessarily want a steel ship now, but to guide the future, and when the wooden warship dominates the sea, he needs to think about it."
Master Li, you come with me!"
Quan Xu took a tin can, asked someone to bring a basin of water, and then Quan Xu gently put the canned box on the water, and the canned box floated steadily on the water in the basin without any accidents.Quan Xu picked up the canned food box from the basin, asked for a hammer from the waist of the guard, and smashed the canned box flat, at this time, the canned food box, to be precise, was just an iron piece, and threw it in the water, and the iron sheet sank to the bottom of the basin."
Master Li, do you understand the relationship between the two?"
Quan Xu smiled: "This is buoyancy, buoyancy refers to the difference (net force) of the pressure of each surface of an object in a fluid (including liquid and gas). ”Quan Xu talked about the principle of buoyancy, while drawing graphics, introducing the calculation formula of buoyancy, don't look at Quan Xu's vigorous speech, but unfortunately, Li Chonggui and other craftsmen did not understand at all.Quan Xu is very patient, the research and development of weapons is a long-term vast project, not to mention anything else, just a copper bullet shell related technical data and drawings, put up no less than a few hundred catties.PS: Thank you very much Feng Yu Wufei for your 10,500 coin reward!
