Chapter 533 Using Copper as a Cannon"Oops......
It hurts, you tap!
”Sanniang glared at Quan Xu.Quan Xu handed the medicinal wine in his hand to Su Yin: "I'll give it to you!"
”Sanniang challenged Helena, and Sanniang suffered some early losses under the enemy, but there was no real winner between the two of them.Sanniang was stabbed several times by a wooden sword, although this kind of wooden sword used for martial arts cannot stab people to death, but the problem is that Helena is tall and strong, and it is not easy to stab the wooden sword on her body.As for Helena, although she stabbed Sanniang, she also annoyed Sanniang, Sanniang used a small grappling hand to deal with joints, Helena couldn't get up for at least half a month, this is the reason why she didn't kill her.Quan Xu looked at Sanniang, who was blue for several years, and sighed long: "Why are you so troubled?"
”Sanniang said indignantly: "This matter is not over, I was yin by that woman, wait a few days, I will settle accounts with her!"
”Although Quan Xu didn't care about these things in the back house, it didn't mean that he didn't know why Sanniang was so desperate, to put it bluntly, it was because of the pair of children of Quanjingran and Quanjingyang.Zhu Weiyuan just lightly told Sanniang that Helena was angry with her, and if Sanniang could vent for her, Quanjingran and Quanjingyang could call her mother-in-law in the future.Obviously, Jingjingran and Jingjingyang are both children born to Sanniang, but because of the tradition of the times, the two of them can't call Sanniang their mother, they can only call them aunts according to the rules, and call Zhu Weiyuan mother.This matter makes Sanniang very uncomfortable, if Zhu Weiyuan doesn't speak, she has no way to get her mother's power in her life......
"This matter, forget it!"
”"Why do you forget that?"
Sanniang solemnly looked at Quan Xu and said: "Xianggong, don't worry about this matter, I know you feel sorry for me, but this is related to the style of the whole family, now, our whole family has become a shame for the nobles, which of them is the concubine Ruyun, our family is Erniang and me, and the two of us are also old, otherwise, you will also take Wan'er ......"
Quan Xu shook his head: "Don't you think the family is messy enough?"
With you and Erniang, it is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes, and besides, my physical strength is not allowed!
”Everyone has everyone's happiness.Although Helena blatantly wants to become Quan Xu's lover, in Zhu Weiyuan's eyes, this is Helena's deliberate desire to become Quan Xu's concubine.At this time, Helena, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was facing Zhu Weiyuan."
What are you looking for me?""
You mother-in-law, I don't know the etiquette, and when you see our princess, you dare to be presumptuous!""
Alright."
Zhu Weiyuan waved her hand and said, "How much does it cost to enter our family's door?"
”Helena's eyes blinked: "You can call the shots about these things?"
”"Isn't that nonsense?"
Hongyi said angrily: "We don't have to ask about the affairs of the inner house, our princess can make a decision!"
”"Is what she said true?"
Zhu Weiyuan nodded: "So to speak!"
”"Well, my conditions are actually very simple!"
Helena said ecstatically: "Just sell us twenty breech-loading rifled guns of one hundred and thirty mm and twenty-eight times the diameter of the Venice city-state Republic, and a thousand shells!"
”"That's all?""
That's all!""
Okay!"
Zhu Weiyuan nodded to the two older Gong E, and the two Gong E's two Gong E's reached out and grabbed Helena to untie Helena's clothes.Helena was anxious: "What do you mean by this?"
”"You have already mentioned the conditions, this palace still needs to see if you are worth the price!"
The two old Gong E's eyes are very good at checking whether it is a woman or not, and guarding the palace sand is very easy to fake, and the eyes of the old Gong E's two years are poisonous.Soon, they peeled Helena into a large white shrimp.Tears welled up in Helena's eyes, she had decided to sell herself in exchange for a glimmer of life for the Venice city-state republic.Quan Xu is right, for the war that has lasted for more than 200 years, although the Venetians have won fewer and lost more, the key is that the more they fight, the more desperate they become.The Ottoman Empire did not see the posture of shaking hands and making peace, as a behemoth, Venice was simply an ant in front of the Ottoman Empire, this kind of ant stung the Ottoman Empire from time to time, although it would make the Ottoman Empire feel pain, but it never hurt the root of the Ottoman Empire.On the contrary, the Ottoman Empire became more and more angry, and the Ottoman Empire entered its heyday, with a population of more than 14 million and controlled a territory of about 4.5 million square kilometers.In particular, the land wars were won one after another, and Moscow on the Eastern European Plain was burned.This was the first time that Moscow was burned again after the Mongols burned the city of Moscow, and the Ottoman Empire became the general alliance of the world, fighting against the Spanish Empire from east to west.Fortunately, the expansion of the Spanish Empire and Southeast Asia involved the energy of the Ottoman Empire, otherwise Venice would not have been able to hold on at all.Finally, two years ago, Gong E nodded slightly at Zhu Weiyuan, indicating that the situation was good, and the result was acceptable."
I will explain this matter to Master Hou and try my best to meet your requirements!"
Zhu Weiyuan looked at Helena and said: "Once you enter the door of the whole family, you are the whole family, don't care about Venice or Ottoman, your duty is to spread out for the whole family!"
”…… Quan Xu didn't pay attention to the lock at home, he was pulled to the gun bureau to visit the development of the new gun, as for the frequent occurrence of the late Ming Dynasty novels first carved rifling on the iron sheet, and then rolled into a barrel, to solve the rifling processing problem and other paragraphs, just laugh, just laugh and laugh, the barrel that came out like this, a battle without blowing up the chamber and killing hundreds of people is sorry for those craftsmen.That is, the land war artifact that has been praised to the sky by countless novel authors in the late Ming Dynasty, the Mini rifle.The brutality of the truth is that the Minnie rifle, which they so admired, was retired after only twenty years of installation, and disappeared forever from the army's equipment sequence.If the level of industrial technology can reach the point of mass-producing Mini rifles, there will be no difficulty in making rear-loading rifled rifles.The bullet of the front-loading rifled gun is slightly larger than the caliber of the musket, and it must be hammered into it little by little, only in this way can the bullet be fully embedded in the rifling, otherwise the rifling will not be able to exert its power.The consequence of this is that it is far more difficult to reload than a smoothbore gun, and it may not be able to load a single bullet after two or three shots.This is an important reason why Western countries created rifled guns in the 17th century, but it was not until the 19th century that they were mass-produced and equipped.Of course, the difficulty of processing is also a big reason, the difficulty of making a rifled gun by hand is unimaginable, a skilled craftsman can make one for almost a year, the cost is naturally not low, it is okay to hunt for the nobles, forget about the mass production of the army, the Minister of Finance will go crazy!
Being able to build rifled rifles and being able to manufacture them in large quantities are two different things, and Europe was able to make rifled rifles at the beginning of the seventeenth century, but it was not until the middle of the nineteenth century that it had the ability to manufacture rifled rifles in large quantities.The gun bureau of the whole family army, because of the existence of the giant hanging force of Quan Xu, so the front-loading rifling is not equipped at all, and it starts directly from the rear-loading rifle.The only difference of this new rifle is that there is no primer thunder mercury, and now the steam engine has been invented, the production efficiency has been greatly improved, and the scrap rate is very high due to the stability of the machine tool.Since the shell of the sub-shell is made of paper, it will be deformed when squeezed, and it is easy to mute fire, which is a great headache for these craftsmen.Quan Xu said: "Don't use paper to make it, don't use iron shells, replace it with brass!"
”"It's easy to say, copper is money, use money to beat people, Master Hou, you will go bankrupt!"
Quan Xu shook his head and said, "Copper shells can be reused, let's prepare a bullet shell bag for the soldiers and let them collect bullet shells!"
”Those craftsmen said: "The quality problem of Zi Gong also exists in artillery, can it be said that the shells are also made of copper?"
”"That's right, it's made of brass!""
How much does that cost?""
Then you don't care!"
Quan Xu smiled: "The problem of money is not something you have to consider, the problem you have to consider is, how to improve the quality, how to improve the power of the gun (bullet) and the gun, not the cost, the cost needs to be considered, but it is not a problem to consider now!"
”In any case, copper bullets and shells are the development trend of the future, and although the cost of using copper to manufacture them is unacceptable, in fact, some alloy steels are now more expensive than iron.For example, bearing steel, just by the weight of copper money, you can no longer buy bearing steel, as for other steel, it is also not cheap.Just when a group of craftsmen were racking their brains and thinking about how to make guns and cannons from copper, a craftsman came to Quan Xu's side like a madman: "Master Hou, I made it!"
”The craftsman was covered in dirt, with a strong sour smell, his beard was sloppy, and he was covered with dirt, and Quan Xu had to cover his nose: "Who are you!"
”The craftsman excitedly grabbed Quan Xu: "Master Hou come with me!"
”"Who the hell are you?""
I'm Chen Zilong!"
