Chapter 1428 Infantry Artillery

This is simply a treasure house, the flat jar itself has a family history, and also understands medical skills, everyone has a fight, the flat jar has cured many diseases in the tribe, and the old patriarch has cured the crew of diarrhea.

As a result of the two sympathizing with each other, the flat jar directly became a demigod like the old clan elder wizard.

His father was a foodie, and his mother was a doctor, so he paid special attention to collecting crops and medicines.

Among them is a fat ginseng, which is not suitable for the locals, and is everywhere in the forest, and the flat jar is found to have the same healing effect as ginseng.

So the big ship stayed here for half a month, and there were many empty cabins on the ship, and the flat tank was enough to collect two cabins.

As they had to continue south, in order to prevent malaria, they also brought with them the bark and seeds of the tree that had a miraculous effect on malaria and was called cinchona by the locals.

In exchange, Bianjar led the crew to build a large wooden house for the tribe as a sacrificial temple, and under the leadership of Atan's hunting party, he used the magic weapon to destroy several large brown bears of the tribe.

In the end, he left large saws, axes and other steel logging tools for the aborigines, and exchanged gifts with Atan, and exchanged a dagger for an obsidian axe and a meteorite necklace before continuing his voyage.

From Atan's analogy, Bian Jar already knew that this was a huge continent, and the chair thought that this was the legendary Dongsheng Shenzhou.

These people should be like Jizi who entered Goryeo, Taibo who entered Wu, and Zhongyong who entered Vietnam, who came from the Central Plains back then.

Because he found that the bare-bottomed child here had the same cyan mark on his buttocks as his colander brother when he was a child, and the witchcraft here was also very similar to the primitive witchcraft of the Erlin Division.

There are also some pictographic patterns, which also have similar textures on Shang and Zhou bronzes.

The flat jar allowed the chair to draw all of this, and at the same time received some pottery, fabrics, wooden rakes, stone ball throwers, etc. as evidence.

For specific research, we will have to wait until I have the life to go back.

There is no exit to the east of the fjord, so it has to go south.

Another reason for the attraction of the Flat Jar to the south was that he wanted to visit the big cities indicated by the natives, although he had heard that the people there were not very friendly and that it was normal for villages to kill each other.

Listening to the meaning of the aborigines, the people there call themselves that kind of yellow stick, because the seeds on that yellow stick are very similar to jade beads? The flat jar named it "Yuzhu Rice".

Calling yourself with jade bead rice? This is the same nature as the character Laishan No. 1.

Lai is a country named after the wheat that was called "Rai" in ancient times.

So Yuzhu rice? Most of them are also crops that can become a staple food for a country? And there is already large-scale cultivation.

This has to be seen to see if it's true.

Before leaving, the flat tank erected a stone monument according to the rules? Because the climate here is mild, the characters and folk customs are like ancient China? After everyone voted? Agreed, and named the place "Wenhua County".

Back on the boat, Bian Can said to Zhao Xiaoyi: "Brother, we have to prepare weapons and train everyone." ”

Zhao Xiaoyi was unimpressed by the aborigines who played with stone weapons: "Do they dare to attack us?" ”

Flat Can said: "Listen to Atango? Further south? The bigger the city-state of the aborigines, and the more wars are still going on there, it is a small version of the Spring and Autumn Warring States, we don't stir up trouble, but we can't guard against it. ”

Zhao Xiaoyi nodded: "Try to prepare some goods?" It's better to solve it through trade, and of course military training should also be carried out? I found that Atan's slings were still a bit powerful. ”

The slinging rope is two ropes with a piece of skin, sandwiched on a pebble and waved a few times? And then let go of one end and the rope opens? Stone projectiles will fly out and hit the target.

The power is still pretty good? But much worse than a crossbow.

Is there a Thunderbolt on the L-Spin? But it was too heavy to carry ashore.

It is also equipped with 30 magic guns and 2,000 rounds of ammunition, but in order to ensure the future voyage, they do not dare to use them indiscriminately.

On the contrary, they used black powder made from ready-made materials, safe nitrifying explosives made from nitroglycerin with toner and flour, and some cotton from the Atan tribe, and now they can also make nitrocellulose bales.

So when the ship was heading south, the polytechnic team met to discuss how to make a light cannon.

Now there is thunder silver, the fuse can be made, and the shell shell can also be cast and cut from cast iron brass, and the lead ring can be covered.

The barrel is a bit troublesome though.

The chair is actually not troublesome, and our mast preparation is not a round pipe? And the tube is extremely strong, it is forged steel, and it can be used as a cannon barrel.

Together, everyone felt that it made sense, and the forged steel mast could withstand a high boring pressure, which could be used to fire shells.

So the polytechnic team was divided into two shifts, one to design artillery and the other to design shells.

The final product looks weird, like an enlarged magic machine.

The 40 mm inner diameter mast for the barrel was reinforced with a thicker part of the mast at the muzzle and bolt positions.

The bolt adopts the bolt design of the Thunderbolt gun, and the shell absorbs the design of the ambush shell, similar to the olive shape with tail like the mortar.

However, the loading method is similar to that of the earliest marine thunderbolts, first loading the warhead, then filling the nitrification pack, then filling the brass base with a fuse, closing the bolt and pulling the rope to fire.

The only advance was that the chair designed an air intake hole in the bolt, which used the high pressure of the gas after the explosion to reset the spring firing pin inside the bolt again.

There are two types of shells, one is a thick-shelled, pure blasting shell; One is a thin shell, and then a short cylinder cut out of steel bar, which is lined between the explosive and the shell, as a kill bomb with a large number of anti-personnel fragments.

To be precise, it should be called a shrapnel.

This gun is very light, the barrel length is one and a half meters, and the weight of the gun carriage is no more than 300 catties, equipped with a pair of wheels, the legs of the gun carriage are very long, and it can also be used as a handle, and a sergeant can drag it backwards like pulling a cart.

However, the power is not small, firing a one-and-a-half-pound shell, the effective range of flat fire can reach two miles, the effective range of curved fire is three miles, and the maximum range is five miles.

It is as light as the ambush cannon, but much more powerful than the ambush cannon.

This kind of cannon is very simple in terms of barrel structure and shell structure, and it is smoothbore, and the difficulty of processing the gun body is much smaller than that of the thunderbolt gun, and the difficulty of shell processing is much smaller than that of the ambush cannon with its own firing charge.

And it fills the gap in firepower between the Thunderbolt and the Ambush Cannon.

They didn't think of the flat tank themselves, and their own design also filled a gap in the Great Song artillery.

Su You is a military weapon, and in his mind, the word smoothbore cannon represents backwardness.

But I don't know that until the 21st century, most tanks actually still use smoothbore gun design.

For this cannon, they deliberately found a quiet harbor and stopped for three days, and processed three new weapons named "infantry cannons" by the polytechnic team.

At the same time, a complete set of molds and more than thirty shells were processed.

The gun aiming system refers to the design of the thunderbolt gun, and the control system is only temporarily used because the gun body and ammunition itself are not heavy, the rate of fire requirements are not high, and the hydraulic stationing and retreat is too difficult to process.

"Ahead - 850 meters red flag, put!"

"Boom—"

A roar erupted from a rocky beach in the strait, startling the seabirds to fly out in unison, covering the sky and the sun.

A huge explosion sounded at the red flag position 850 meters in front of the artillery position, and the wooden stakes within 10 meters of the surrounding area were blown into the bark of trees.

After the three shots, the Polytechnic team stepped forward to check the results of the shooting.

Almost all the wooden piles are inlaid with a lot of cylindrical steel balls, and the depth of those wooden piles in the vicinity can reach seven or eight centimeters.

"Awesome! Artifact! Long Haisheng couldn't help but admire: "This lethality is much more powerful than the ambush cannon!" ”

In fact, it is not the power of the cannon, but the design breakthrough of the anti-personnel shotgun.

The shooting range is designed according to the standard test range, and the flat tank and chair have been following Shi Fu Shi and Chen Zhaoming in the arsenal for a long time.

The flat canister and the chair themselves were a little surprised that their design could achieve such an effect, and if conditions permitted, with the copper shell shell and the high rate of fire of the thunderbolt, this thing would be much better than the ambush cannon!

With the infantry guns, the flat tank felt that the safety of leaving the ship was guaranteed, and the order was set off again.

The further south you go, the more and more Aboriginal settlements you have, and the bigger they get.

Some settlements are already equivalent to a county seat in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are even large bazaars for exchanging materials.

The arrival of the group also caused a sensation.

Because of this line of people, you can know that they are "nobles" at a glance.

Even in the settlements, most places are still under slash-and-burn farming, and here you can finally see patches of Yuzhu rice, sweet potato, potato, quinoa, pumpkin, and cold potato, and learn how to cultivate these crops.
