Chapter 87 Service Life
"Little sir, you don't know, it's just because a small muzzle is not the same size, but the harm is great."
Wang Youzhen listened to Patriarch Jiao asking for merit and rewards for his grandson there, and he didn't seem to have any expression, but in fact, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He never thought that the eldest disciple Jiao Miao only learned the knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry in junior high school, and invented vernier calipers and micrometers.
What made him even more incredulous was that standardization was invented two hundred years earlier than in the West.
Standardization is the foundation of all industries.
It was even more important for the flintlock pistol, which had to be inverted after being poured gunpowder and buckshot.
In order to keep the gas completely closed in the chamber, if the air leaks, the explosive gas generated by the gunpowder will cause a dumb fire when pushed.
This is a situation that often occurs when the gunpowder is ignited, and the lead bullet cannot be fired with a muffled sound.
Patriarch Jiao took such pains to explain because the changes brought about by this standardized invention were too huge.
wants Wang Youzhen to see the credit of his grandson Jiao Miao, so that this little gentleman attaches more importance to Jiao Miao.
Because of standardization, the flintlock pistol will no longer have a dumb fire, and it is completely possible to fire successfully every time.
Every time he gets angry, if it reaches the ears of the border military attache in Shanhaiguan, he will definitely think that this is who is lying to confuse the public.
I won't believe it if I kill it, but the bird gun can succeed in firing every time.
But in fact, it does guarantee success every time.
The change that brings about all this is a standardization.
Wang Youzhen can have such a big sigh in his heart, it is because he knows the more significant significance behind the standardization of caliber and lead bullet.
Before he returned to the Ming Dynasty, countries had done their best to formulate 5G standards.
One thing has risen to the level of the state, and it has made countries fight for it.
It can be seen that the development of standardization is of great significance.
Every type of firearm, shotgun, sniper rifle, submachine gun, etc., has a most reasonable standard caliber based on factors such as recoil range.
As long as this standard caliber is formulated, all countries that produce firearms of this caliber in the future will have to pay patent fees to China.
The benefits involved in this are enough to make people's scalps tingle.
Wang Youzhen clearly remembers that China's annual Internet fees to the United States reach an astonishing 1 trillion yuan.
And today, in this 160 years.
Jiao Miao had already invented standardization, two hundred years earlier than Western countries.
Not to mention Wang Youzhen, even if those scholars from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came over collectively, they would be so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Because of this incident, Wang Youzhen felt even more sorry for the Ming Dynasty and the blowout talents in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
If it weren't for the invasion of the Manchu Tartars, the Ming Dynasty, which already had the germ of the industrial revolution, would definitely embark on a new path.
I am also even more glad, I am glad that I have crossed over, and I will take these Ming blowout talents to make up for the biggest regret in history.
Finish the road that Daming has not finished.
Wang Youzhen has not yet recovered from the shock of standardization, and Jiao Miao gave him another surprise, which is also his research results during this period of time.
Patriarch Jiao knew what Wang Youzhen came here for, and he should have come to check on the newly built flintlock pistol.
Patriarch Jiao walked out of the prison and walked into a warehouse in this small courtyard.
Unleash the heavy iron chains and pull a new flintlock pistol out of the warehouse.
Patriarch Jiao saw that Wang Youzhen had not spoken, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After he took out the new flintlock pistol, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Xiao doesn't know the role of caliber standardization, that's how it should be." ”
"After all, Mr. Xiao has never fought with Jiannu at Shanhaiguan."
"Little gentleman come to see this, this is also a firearm that my grandson Jiao Ao made up."
Patriarch Jiao was stuck again when he said this, and after thinking for a long time, he continued: "It's just to figure out a set of useful life." ”
When Wang Youzhen heard a sentence of service life, he couldn't wait to hug Jiao Qiao, who was eating stiffly, and kissed him fiercely.
The most important point in the manufacture of modern firearms is the service life.
After the number of times a firearm is used, the chamber will explode.
There are three types of lifespan of firearms, the first is design life.
Before designing a new firearm, the firearms designer wants to be able to achieve a lifespan.
The second is the maximum lifespan, there is always a certain gap between the designed thing and the final product.
The maximum lifespan is how many times a firearm can be used after it is studied.
The third is the service life, which sets a number of times for the firearm, for example, if it is used 500 times, it will explode.
This service life is generally set to about 400 times, and will not exceed 450 times at most.
In this way, one of the greatest hazards of firearms is avoided.
Explode.
Long before the bombing, the soldiers had already changed their firearms to avoid injuries to their palms and eyes due to the explosion.
Wang Youzhen never thought that the eldest disciple Jiao Miao would have so many research achievements during this time.
Not only began to formulate the standardization of firearms, but also studied the service life.
Wang Youzhen hurriedly asked: "How many times does this newly built flintlock pistol last?" ”
Jiao Mu smiled and said a number: "Two hundred." ”
Patriarch Jiao saw that his grandson Jiao Miao just said simply, it was not painful or itchy, and it did not reflect the hard work at all.
He glared at his grandson with hatred, and continued to speak for his grandson with a smile: "Little sir, don't you know, in order to drum up this service life for more than half a year. ”
"Jiao Miao didn't know how much effort he put into it, but he just chose the right steel, and he tinkered with it thousands of times."
"That's it, it also involves the weight of gunpowder and the size of lead bullets."
Speaking of this, Patriarch Jiao's voice trembled slightly: "Old man, I'm worried that my grandson will die of exhaustion. ”
Wang Youzhen is a scientist himself, how can he not know the hard work of doing experiments, it can almost be said that he is exhausted.
Wang Youzhen took the flintlock pistol in Patriarch Jiao's hand, which had been designed to have a service life, and when he took it, his palm was even a little trembling.
Because the flintlock pistol, which has a standardized and service life, is of too great significance to the Mao Society, and even for this era.
It can almost be said that it is a milestone in the history of the world.
Because as long as you have this kind of lifespan, it marks the arrival of one thing.
The era of large-scale installation of firearms.
