Chapter 300: One side of the world does business (first update, ask for subscription)
Of course, Zhu Guoqiang didn't know what kind of waves his appearance had set off in the hearts of the former goddess, or the goddess in the eyes of many alumni, for him, it was just a chance encounter. There was no fluctuation in his heart, at most he just sighed at the impermanence of the world. Now there are more important things to deal with for him.
Different from the busyness on the other side, Zhu Guoqiang's days here can be described as idleness, of course, it can't be said that for example, he spends a lot of time every day looking for information on the Internet and doing a lot of studying.
Thanks to the convenience of the modern online world, it is easy for Zhu Guoqiang to find some teachers.
For example, the teacher I found now is the guy who suggested that he make props last time, and the guy who subcontracted the parts of the firing pistol to a small factory. Zhu Guoqiang is very interested in him, this guy named Sima has an angular face, calm and resolute, and he doesn't talk much, but he can always help him solve problems.
"Range."
Through the WeChat video, Zhu Guoqiang put forward his own requirements.
Although the results of this southward march seemed to be brilliant, the army exposed many weaknesses.
The plate armor heavy infantry seems to be unstoppable, but the officers and soldiers must be the elite of one in a hundred, and the tiger Ben led by Chen Wuyi proves that the plate armor heavy infantry cannot continue to fight - it will be exhausted to death.
Of course, the new shotguns and large-caliber muskets of the artillery are both guarantees of victory, although the number is small, but they do play a decisive role, especially the new shotguns used by the artillery, which are extremely fatal to the Jiannu infantry cavalry who charge the group.
But Zhu Guoqiang didn't dare to despise the Qing soldiers at all. Because these battles were completely thanks to the blessing of the Ming army's waste of firewood earlier, the infantry cavalry of the Qing army would stupidly bump into it, and as a result, a group of new troops who were afraid of killing and did not know how powerful the Dongyu were.
Such a victory has its chances, and if we want to turn chance into necessity, we must improve our weapons. For example, while increasing the number of weapons, it is also necessary to improve the performance of weapons.
Of course, the most important thing is that the course of history shows. Muskets are the future, and as for armor, cold weapons...... Soon it will be eliminated.
Of course, it is in East Asia, but in some special battlefield environments, the plate infantry still has the value and significance that he may have.
But in any case, it must still be the age of muskets. In the future, the Ming army under his command will also be dominated by muskets, which should be said to be an all-firearms unit, but the firearms of the current army still have some shortcomings, such as accuracy, range and other shortcomings.
"Do you want to increase the range, the range of the smoothbore gun is really close, and it is okay to hit a single target within 50 meters, but it is more difficult to hit at a distance of 100 meters. It is almost impossible to hit from 200 meters away. ”
Sima, who seemed to be taciturn, suddenly changed to a different person at this time, holding a model of a firing pistol and explaining endlessly.
"And if you want to increase the range, the easiest way is rifling, but for a while it is not easy to solve the problem of rifling drawing, manual drawing can also be, but its rifling depth is different, that is, when Britain first began to produce Enfield 1853, although a complete set of machine tools and equipment was introduced from the United States, but it is not simple to engrave a standardized and unified rifling for all muskets, and for a long time it has also made rifling a variety of headaches, production can not maintain stability, rifled guns are in short supply, from this aspect, It is true that rifled guns are not the best option right now...... Well, you can first find a way to improve the accuracy of the smoothbore gun. ”
Improve the accuracy of your smoothbore gun!
This is not bad, Zhu Guoqiang secretly thought, after all, there are 40,000 smoothbore guns in his army, compared to rifled guns, smoothbore guns are easier to produce, for Zhu Guoqiang, who is preparing to establish a military factory in Lushun, he naturally prefers to choose simpler products, after all, the industry has a process of upgrading. Looking at Sima on the screen, he thought for a while, and then listened to him.
"There are three ways to improve the accuracy of a smoothbore gun, the first is to make the ball ball fit the barrel as close as possible, or just not use the ball ball at all,"
"Don't use ball bullets?"
Zhu Guoqiang wondered.
"Yes, just like modern shotguns, it uses a single-headed bullet, which can be completely attached to the barrel under the action of gunpowder gas, plus the bullet can rotate on the central axis of the bullet, producing a gyroscopic effect, and the accuracy is just as good."
Listening to the sound of tapping on the keyboard from over there, after a while, I saw Sima continue.
"I sent you information on a Remington Slugg one-headed bullet, which is in the form of a cylinder with a spiral on the sides, and a felt stock attached to the bottom to hold the breath, or cork. The rifling on this warhead is not used to rotate in the chamber, but to allow the warhead to rotate slowly under the action of air resistance after discharge, and maintain a certain stability. With good dispersion accuracy, many people have done experiments on the Lao Mei side of this bullet, and it can accurately hit a humanoid target within 100 meters, and this thing is easy to hit within 10 centimeters when it is spread on a hundred meters, and the hit rate of 200 meters is about 5 or 60%, in my personal opinion, this is actually almost enough. ”
"100 meters, ah......"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Guoqiang asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it going to be closer?"
"Not close."
Sima replied directly
Have you ever heard of the phrase "hard practice 100-meter hard kung fu, high ability to defend the motherland", this 100-meter hard kung fu, including 100-meter shooting, 200 meters away target is almost the limit of ordinary people's eyesight, beyond this distance, luck accounts for a large proportion. ”
At the mention of this, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but interject.
"Isn't it often said on the Internet that veterans can die accurately from a distance of a few hundred meters?"
Sima pouted with contemptuous eyes and said lightly.
"You can do an experiment, look at a humanoid target a few hundred meters away, and see if you can see it. The Russians used SVD in Afghanistan, and the main thing with a scope is to hit targets within 600 meters, and no matter how far away they are, they are all lucky to think that they are all eagle eyes and have their own scopes. ”
Yes, I can't have a deep chat with such an enthusiast, Zhu Guoqiang changed the topic very interestingly.
"Let's go far, continue the topic of this bullet, how to make this bullet."
Nodding, Sima continued.
"This bullet is very simple, and it is cast in the same way as a spherical bullet, but the mold used to cast the bullet is different......
As he spoke, he took out a freshly printed pattern and explained.
"Bullet bodies, cork or felt with rifling, with them, you can basically solve the problem of effective range, I will send you the information later. Of course, these can only appear in it, that is, to write, I will first state that I only provide consultation, and these are all public publication materials, if there are readers who follow the mold, it has nothing to do with me! ”
Sima made a rare joke, after all, the control in China is very strict, and playing a BB gun can be sentenced to life, let alone this thing.
His reminder made Zhu Guoqiang's heart beat sharply, and his good mood instantly fell to the bottom, and he subconsciously glanced out the window.
According to the quantity, I can shoot dozens of times!
No, I must build the arsenal when I go back, it's too dangerous here, I want to go back to the palace......
But before leaving, Zhu Guoqiang asked again.
"There is another problem, which is the problem of artillery shells......
finally got the answer he needed, of course, after the information, as in the past, Zhu Guoqiang transferred 5,000 yuan to the other party, and as a "rich second generation", he was in a good mood and rewarded one or two, which was a common thing.
However, Zhu Guoqiang did not go back directly, but ordered hundreds of flying man pedal sewing machines through the company, which was to be brought back to the Ming Dynasty to open a quilt factory, after all, now he has an army of 200,000, that is, only the elite is left, and it is estimated that there must be 150,000, 150,000 quilts, of course, to make it yourself, and it can also solve some women's employment problems.
In short, unlike the emergency response in the past, now after repelling Jiannu, everything can be deployed calmly.
Of course, what's more important!
Of course, it has its own territory!
