Chapter 228: Granular Black Powder

Arrange the bearing thing, with silver as the driving force, Chen Zijian is not afraid that they will not break their heads and find a way to increase production.

Hot weapons instead of cold weapons, this is the direction of the development of the times, this is the general trend of the world, no one can stop it, the development of thermal weapons in Europe exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty, so you can rely on a small number of Europeans to colonize the world, the momentum of the development of thermal weapons in the Ming Dynasty was dragged back by the civilian group, the consequence is that in the face of the invasion of rebels and Tatars from all over the country, you can only passively defend, and now even Beiping can not be saved.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, used a large number of fires, and developed and used fires for hundreds of years, maybe the performance of fires is more powerful than that of Europe now, there is such a powerful magic weapon to revitalize the country, and what if the Tartars are powerful with their personal bravery, a hundred meters away the soldiers burst the head of the Tartars, and the Tartars can still turn the sky upside down.

It's a pity that the current fire system is too rubbish, and it is stretched out by civilian officials in various ways, and the fire system is worse than burning fire sticks, resulting in Ming soldiers preferring to use big knives and spears rather than use firearms.

The importance of hot weapons is one of the important positions of Chen Zijian, and the Mini guns have already performed well in the volunteers, but those Mini guns were purchased by Chen Zijian, and what he has to do now is to let the blacksmith in Zhangjia Village copy the Mini guns.

The bullet metal of the Mini gun is lead, Chen Zijian doesn't know if there is anything in other places in the Ming Dynasty, but it is certain that there is no lead in Zhangjia Village, and if you want a cottage, you can't lack lead, Chen Zijian opened the space-time trading center to find the price of lead, 50,000 gold per cubic lead.

When the raw materials are urgently needed and the substitutes cannot be found quickly, it is lucky to be able to buy the materials needed at a high price, Chen Zijian loves and hates the space-time trading center, it is easy to use, but the price is speechless, and now Chen Zijian's space-time trading center currency has accumulated to 555,000, which seems to be a lot, but when it comes to upgrading the various equipment of the volunteers, this little money is not enough to spend. Usually, Chen Zijian tries not to use it if he can, because one word is expensive.

Chen Zijian went to the place next to him and took out the lead purchased by the Time and Space Trading Center, and one cubic of lead was divided into a hundred pieces and stacked on the ground.

Chen Zijian called the steward of the steel factory and threw dozens of mini bombs to him, "Steward Zhang, this is a sample, produced with some lead." ”

The hardness of lead is relatively soft, and production is not a problem, so Chen Zijian handed over the matter to Manager Zhang.

"Remember to save some money, it's expensive."

Old man Zhang didn't say anything, Chen Zijian explained what he did, he did it, this is where Chen Zijian likes him, as for the credit, when he is produced, Chen Zijian doesn't mind giving him a salary increase.

Chen Zijian doesn't care about the secrecy of the Mini bullet, if it is not launched, the Mini bullet is a somewhat different lead pellet, which has no lethality.

Walking out of the high-speed rail plant, the heat wave dissipated, and Chen Zijian was still a little uncomfortable with all kinds of iron struck, such hard work, it seems that the blacksmith of the steel plant will be paid a promotion, otherwise who wants to work in that stuffy environment, it is better to go to the transportation team to be comfortable! Just mention this matter to Zhang Youde when the time comes.

Compared with the steel plant, Chen Zijian's secrecy and defense in the past was a few steps higher, the gunpowder production plant.

It is self-evident what gunpowder is used for, and it is very dangerous when it is produced, if there is a spark or something when gunpowder is produced, then the joke will be big, maybe the gunpowder factory will become a thousand ruins in a few seconds, and the people here can keep the corpses, either to ashes or to great luck. Therefore, before entering the gunpowder factory, it is forbidden to bring any ignition source, iron tools, yes, iron tools are not allowed to appear in the gunpowder factory.

Modern rifle bullets use gunpowder in the form of granules, which can achieve a higher muzzle velocity after the bullet is discharged under the same bore pressure. The Mini rifle that uses granular black powder will be greatly improved in power, and not only that, but the granular gunpowder will burn more fully because of the large air strike between the gunpowder particles. The granular gunpowder has less residue after combustion, which is conducive to the cleaning of the gun chamber by the volunteers. Cleaning the chamber of the gun is made easy, and the rate of fire of the musket can be increased.

The black powder is placed on a wooden grinding disc and rolled repeatedly until the black powder is rolled into a white-gray color. Then Li Zhi took a little flour with good water, added some water to the flour of synthetic mud, and then diluted it. Then he poured all the flour on top of ten parts of ground black powder, and combined the black powder and soba noodles into a white-gray ball.

Then let the workers make a porous iron plate, scrape it on the gunpowder dough with the holes in the iron plate, scrape off the gunpowder particles one by one, and put them into the basin. The particles of different sizes are then screened out with a sieve prepared in advance, leaving only the particles of uniform size.

After screening, half of the particles are different in size and need to be kneaded into balls and scraped into grains. The remaining half of the gunpowder particles were about the same size, and finally dried in the sun, and a kind of granular black powder was obtained.

Chen Zijian is holding in his hand is the granular black powder obtained from this production process, this granular black powder is not only used by the volunteers, but also the iron ore in Shayuan Town is also needed, the iron ore is excavated by manpower alone, which is very difficult.

The gunpowder factory has a large yard, which is used to dry granular gunpowder, and the dried gunpowder is stored in a specially built place, and it can only be taken out by Chen Zijian's order.

After watching the production of black powder, Chen Zijian took out a pound of granular black powder in the warehouse and left, paying? What do you say, everything here is Chen Zijian's, what money to give for his own things.

range

Chen Zijian handed the granular gunpowder to Li Tieshan, "Tieshan, come on." ”

Chen Zijian wanted to see if the power of the granular black powder could be compared to the purchased Mini gun propellant, the Mini Gun propellant purchased from the Time and Space Trading Center was very powerful, but the power of the particle black powder produced by himself had not yet been tested.

Li Tieshan did not hesitate, after taking the Mini gun, he prepared according to the previous charge, and aimed at the target in the distance and shot it.

"It's only about three-fifths of the original power, so it's okay!"

Chen Zijian saw the shooting place of the Mini bullet, the power of the granular black powder is not as good as the original, which is acceptable, the formula of the Mini bullet propellant does not know how many times it has been improved, and the granular black powder is the first generation of gunpowder, the power is almost nothing, and it is not enough for people to improve the gunpowder and increase the power in the future.

After a busy day, in the evening, Chen Zijian returned home and saw many people waiting for him, and the people from the No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 courtyards came over, these were the women of several army commanders, taking advantage of Chen Zijian's return, to inquire about their men.

Send them away in a few words, the men go out to fight, and the women are at home at ease, asking what the military does.

After eating dinner under the bright light, Chen Zijian took out the poker he bought and prepared to play the landlord game, which is a very cost-effective game, Chen Zijian can't stand the habit of sleeping when it's dark, and the bad habits developed in later generations do not want to change, and playing poker to fight the landlord is very appropriate, Chen Zijian is looking for trouble with the landlord everywhere outside, and returns home to continue to mentally eliminate the landlord, well, a good idea, you can promote the whole army in the future, and eliminate the landlord both mentally and physically.

There were few good people among the landlords in these years, or good people who did not meet the standards of later generations.

"Come on, come on, destroy the spiritual landlord tonight."

The weather is relatively cool, and there are no outsiders, Wu Xiang is wearing sexy silk clothes, revealing her white chest, and her beautiful curves are displayed in front of Chen Zijian.

"Well, then let's fight the landlord, let's say okay, the face sticker of the loser." Wu Xiang also relaxed and unloaded the burden of work, because Chen Zijian gave several women the power to accumulate foundation for their future children, Li Zhuer is now pregnant and inconvenient, Wu Xiang and the other two girls have their own industries.

Li Zhuer is pregnant and inconvenient to play together, so she went to bed early, and since she was pregnant, she has a penchant for drowsiness, and Chen Zijian did not disturb her. The area of the house is quite large, as long as the landlord does not shout at the throat and does not affect the sleeping inside, everyone can play with confidence.

The remaining four people, Wu Xiang one, Xiao Qiao Xiaoxi sisters are one, and Chen Zijian is one.

Xiao Tao came over with a large plate of lobster meat, this is Chen Zijian's snack, Chen Zijian has not eaten it in later generations, after coming here, there is no shortage of such seafood.

Half an hour later, Cheng Sheng had a bitter face, his face was covered with large and small notes, his card skills were not good, Wu Xiang and the others had just learned to play before, Chen Zijian could bully them, and he could win.

"Three with one, against eight, Wang Bang, I won again." Xiao Qiao clapped his little hands and jumped for joy, Xiao Xi took a note and pasted it on Chen Zijian's face.

"Alas, the cards are terrible." Chen Zijian spread his hands, and lost again this time, "You usually don't play less, but now the partnership is coming to pit me." "Poor card skills do not mean that Chen Zijian is stupid, Wu Xiang and Xiao Qiao sisters obviously cooperate to play cards can be seen.

Wu Xiang tilted her head and held a note in her hand, her husband's face was full of notes, and there was almost no place to paste them.

"Husband, you're too vegetable." Wu Xiang covered his mouth and chuckled, Chen Zijian was helpless, the status of the alliance leader who once fought the landlord was not guaranteed, and he was pushed down by a few little girls.

"Otherwise, let's change the color head, the old sticker strip is not interesting." Chen Zijian suddenly thought of something and smiled evilly.

Wu Xiang pouted and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

Chen Zijian looked up and down at the two Xiaoxi sisters and the curvaceous Wu Xiang, and saw that they were coquettish.

"Ahem, whoever loses will take off a piece of clothing."

"Bah, Cheng Sheng, you're getting worse and worse now." Wu Xiangmei glanced at Chen Zijian, her husband was really thick-skinned.

"Why, don't you dare, you see, I've been losing just now." Chen Zijian waved his hand, indicating that he was helpless, and he couldn't blame me.

Wu Xiang pouted, looking unhappy, "That's it, if we win, you just listen to us and do whatever you want." ”

In the coquettishness of the two women, a new round of fighting landlords began again.

After the cards were dealt, Chen Zijian also frowned, and glanced at the two sisters, this card is not bad or good, if you fight, maybe you can win.

Fighting, Chen Zijian directly robbed the landlord, and the sisters said they would not rob it.

"Three with one."

"Right-to-eight."

"To nine."

A game passed quickly, not surprisingly Chen Zijian lost again, in fact, only one step away from victory, but unfortunately at the critical moment Chen Zijian made the wrong card, miscalculated the three belts in the opponent's hand, and was pressed right.

In this regard, Chen Zijian was also very distressed, so he had to follow Wu Xiang's regulations and make a turtle appearance.

"Giggles, chief, you're so funny, it's almost fatal." Konishi smiled from ear to ear.

Cheng Sheng's old face was rarely red, and he was really speechless, and he was really depressed when he was a turtle.

In the next game, Chen Zijian gritted his teeth and said that he must find the field.

"Why are you still here, husband, are you okay?" Wu Xiang asked with a provocative smile.

Chen Zijian snorted and said, "Okay, why not, I'll get back to the field after watching this game." ”

Pretending to be angry on the surface, but in fact, I don't mind anything in my heart, they are all their wives, and they are a little ugly to make them happy! However, according to the kind of urine that can be killed and humiliated by the great Ming Shi doctor, he will definitely not do such a thing.

Fifteen minutes later.

"To eight, to ten, to three, to four, to five, to six, it's done, haha." Chen Zijian smiled proudly, although Wu Xiang and Xiao Qiao teamed up to pit him, but just a good hand, they belonged to the kind of people who would not lose no matter how they played, and they quickly gave them a lore.
