The World Online Chapter 549: Revisiting Firearm
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update is fast, no popups, free to read!
From [Wishing Silverstore], Ouyang Shuo turns away from Royal City and walks towards South City Region.
South City Region is the expanded military works area.
No. 7 Research Institute, right here.
Since Black Snake Guard has searched [Ming Dynasty Firearm Manufacturing Technical Manual] from the day Royal Palace, it has been over a month, and I do n’t know how Liu Mo and others did about this manual research.
Back to Shanhai City, Ouyang Shuo naturally has to inspect it.
Firearm, representative territory The highest level of future Technology and main attack direction.
Ming Era Firearm mainly has two categories: the first type is fireshot and bird owls that are held by hand-held points. Their shapes and calibers are relatively small. Generally, the barrel is filled with lead and iron bullets, and its range is only dozens of steps Go to step 200.
Converted to meters, the farthest is 200~300 meters.
Among the fireshots, there are more representative-type ones, including three-eyed 铳, 连 子 铳, kidnapper 迅, Thunder 铳, five Thunder God machines, Lu Mi 铳 and so on.
What I have to mention is kidnapping.
The abduction is a continuous harquebus with a crank. It is 37.5 cm in length. It can be used for three rounds and has a range of 150 meters. The Ming Dynasty is called the “Wansheng Flang machine”.
It can be said that the kidnapper is already the closest fireshot to the western firearm.
The second type is the Artillery with a large caliber and a shape mounted on the base. Most of the tubes are filled with stones, lead, iron, etc., commonly known as "solid bullets", and a few are filled with explosive balls. Generally, the distance from hundreds of steps to 2~3 is mainly used for Shouzhai and siege. It is also used for field operations, Water Battle and Naval Battle.
Hong Xiuquan was mainly the second type of Artillery.
Heavenly Capital City and Artillery have all arrived in Shanhai City for No. 7 Research Institute physical research.
Ming Dynasty Artillery is more representative, including tiger squat guns, Fran machine and Hongyi Cannon.
The Hongyi Cannon, known as the General gun, is manufactured by Late Ming with the introduction of Western technology. It has a gun ear and a sight that can adjust the range. The gun has a long life. The Large-scale weighs 1.6 tons and the range can reach 1.9 kilometers.
In addition to fireshot and Artillery, there is another type of Firearm, which is fire arrow, including cluster fire arrow, Shenhuo Flying Crow, Fire Dragon Leaves The Water and so on.
Shenhuo Flying Crow, which is filled with Gunpowder in the crow body, Gunpowder line in Gunpowder leads out and is connected in series with Gunpowder in the take-off fire arrow Gunpowder tube.
When launching, first ignite the Gunpowder line of fire arrow, fly fire arrow to the enemy, and detonate the Gunpowder in the crow's body, kill and burn the enemy army soldiers. It is a weapon to break the siege array.
Fire Dragon Leaves The Water, as the name suggests, is a weapon for Water Battle.
It is a multi-level fire arrow of Ming Era. It is tied with First Grade fire arrow outside the paper tube and Second Grade fire arrow inside the mouth of the dragon. After firing, it will hit the enemy ship for water attack. The range can reach 1.5 kilometers.
It seems that Ming Dynasty Firearm is extremely developed and very comprehensive, and can be used in actual combat. However, compared to the western world in the same period, it is more than one grade worse.
First say fireshot.
Three-eyed cricket is the mainstream fireshot in Ming Dynasty fireshot, but its real killing range is less than ten meters, it has a strong power within two feet, and it is not accurate at all. Can be used as a mallet for melee advantages.
Besides the kidnapping mentioned earlier, this is the firearm introduced by Ming Dynasty from the West. Unfortunately, it was limited to the level of Technology at that time and could not be copied.
Even if the counterfeiting is successful, both the security performance and the power have been greatly discounted.
The first one is in the material.
In the case of Metallurgy, China uses very little pig iron and wrought iron, and firearm's barrel must be wrought with wrought iron or steel. This makes China people extremely difficult and finally has to give up.
And this, Shanhai City has long been resolved.
Ouyang Shuo started to arrange Iron and Steel Industry before leaving Shanhai City. So far, the ten Steel Mills he has planned have all been completed, and one by one has been put into use.
Finance Bureau smashes a huge amount of gold coin every month, and purchases hundreds of whatever happens|10 million tons of iron ore and coal, which is enough to support the early production of Iron and Steel Works.
More on Artillery.
The so-called tiger squat gun, because of the tragedy of Metallurgy technology, made the cannon extremely thick. It can only hit a billiard, a large stone ball, out of 100 meters.
The God Tool Fran machine is a small ship gun on the western small merchant ship that has been eliminated. It is called "the toy of Sailors without actual combat ability", but this thing passed to Ming Dynasty became a great Firearm.
For Ming Dynasty, the FF16 is an ultra-high Technology product that exceeds the capacity of its country Technology. There is no foreign person to give directions, and even production is impossible.
Furthermore, the domestically produced Langji bombs, which kill far more people than the enemies killed.
It is a complete tragedy.
Ming Dynasty introduced western technology at the end, counterfeit Hongyi Cannon is the strongest Firearm of Ming Dynasty. In essence, Hongyi Cannon is no different from the Big Buddha, but it is longer and bigger.
And the level of Large-scale Artillery cast by Ming Dynasty is very poor, and the quality is very bad. The cast Large-scale Artillery is often a cracked waste product, so you must ask foreigners for help to gradually cast, but the quality is still low, so the gun body is very thick. The red cannon cast by Ming Dynasty was more than two meters long. At that time, Ming Dynasty belonged to the giant artillery. It was known as a ten-mile range, but it was actually only one mile left and right.
In comparison, Mongolia Mengwuer King Dynasty cast super mobile Artillery, three meters high, 20 meters long barrel, weight 50 tons, shooting range exceeding 20 kilometers.
There is no comparability at all.
So, after Ouyang Shuo got "Ming Dynasty Firearm Manufacturing Technical Manual", they never thought about it. They would make all kinds of Firearm and one by one in manual.
Although it is not difficult to achieve this for the current Shanhai City.
What Ouyang Shuo wants is based on "Ming Dynasty Firearm Manufacturing Technical Manual" and combining the existing scientific research strength of Shanhai City to upgrade and transform Firearm again.
The goal of his First Stage is to develop a firearm that can keep up with the average level in the West, and a newly matched Artillery.
That's it.
As for other fireshot, fire arrow and other gadgets, Ouyang Shuo has no intention to think about it.
Only in this way, Ouyang Shuo can lead China Region. In the future National War, it will not be because of Weapons and Equipment's significant backwardness, and it will repeat the tragedy of historical humiliation.
To achieve this, Shanhai City must build a complete, relatively complete Industrial System. Building Iron and Steel Works is just the most Foundation step in Industrial System.
