Chapter 068: Exploring the Spontaneous Emergence of Scientific Research
In front of everyone in the seminar, he told his central idea, and the fundamental purpose was that Zhao Zongwu wanted to explain to everyone the key points of enhancing the power of the firecracker.
Before the advent of breech guns, the power of breech guns was manageable.
Before the technology is really followed, we will create a more complete technology to lay a solid foundation for subsequent expansion and improvement.
Any technology in this world has roots, and it is not made in one fell swoop.
Without the accumulated technology, it is like building a high-rise building on the beach, and it may collapse anytime and anywhere.
Zhao Zongwu doesn't want such a result, what he needs is a solid foundation, he would rather be slower, and make the scientific research he wants.
Therefore, as the core technology, flint, gun tube rifling, classification and production, and assembly line assembly have become the key.
Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, Zhao Zongwu felt that he needed to make a start.
"As for the firing of the firebolt, you must all know that it is ignited by the fire twist, touching the gunpowder in the gun, igniting, and then triggering!"
In the current firecracker, although the concept of self-generated firing has been proposed, the technology is not mature.
But if this situation can be solved, it will greatly increase the power of the firebolt.
After listening to Zhao Zongwu's narration, Zhang Tie's eyes, who were originally in deep thought, lit up, and he was self-reliant?!
In fact, the craftsmen who make the firecrackers are clearer than anyone else about the shortcomings of the current firecrackers.
Especially at a time when greed is rampant, the official camp is shoddy.
Why is the Ming army, now low in combat effectiveness?
This is inextricably linked to the sharp decline in its own equipment and the rampant corruption in officialdom.
Defeat after defeat will eventually form a psychological barrier.
Zhang Tie said excitedly: "My lord, can you tell us more about self-generated flint?" ”
Da Ming's firearms, especially those with firearms, are by no means as low-end as some people in later generations think in their hearts.
You don't see, Nurhachi died here!
Of course, he was seriously injured and had sores on his back, but he died because of this!
Precisely because it is too powerful in the firearms!
The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had picked up the leakage of the founding of the country, in order not to let the brave and cavalry shooting that was proud of the Quartet lose its usefulness, it actually used the so-called ancestral system to stifle the development of firearms!
The most typical example, the Ming-made fire gun that has been stored for more than 100 years, and the battlefield duel with foreign devils, is not too different from the fire gun at that time.
Kangqian prosperous age? It's a big joke.
Perhaps the really useful one of them should be Yongzheng, who was scolded.
Seeing Zhang Tie, Xu Jia and others, they all showed great interest in this, and it was necessary for Zhao Zongwu to establish the core idea of the seminar through this exploration.
Only discussion can succeed!
Only research can succeed!
Resting on your laurels?
A self-woven illusion?
It seems that there is no more appropriate word than destruction.
After thinking about the relevant matters in his heart, he organized the language, and then said: "Before mentioning the self-generated flint, I will reiterate it first, in the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
The current firecrackers are all breech-loading type, which is loaded with gunpowder and lead bullet with the breech, compacted later, loaded with fire twist, ignited, aimed and fired! Ben would have called it a breech gun.
If it is said that in the case of the intensity of the war, the strength of the firearm itself is large enough, when encountering this firecracker, it is more likely to face death!
But war is not taken for granted, and every time a war breaks out, every little time saved will give your side a chance of victory.
Perhaps at this stage, it is not realistic to change the breech type.
But if we can solve the problem of igniting a fire twist, then in a short-range conflict, the situation of instinctive firing twice, increased to three, or even four, how will that change the war? ”
Any meaningful innovation is based on the premise of improvement, and without this premise, any innovation is meaningless.
The argument must be firm and based on it in order to be clear.
Zhang Tie asked: "This is understandable, but gunpowder and self-generation are in themselves conflicting, and if you want to change this, this is itself contradictory." ”
Zhao Zongwu had a smile on his face, and then walked quickly to the experimental table, picked up a small iron stone casually, and everyone's eyes moved with it.
"Da ......"
The crisp sound of impact sounded on the experimental table, and an almost invisible spark came into everyone's eyes.
Those who see clearly, this heart is gradually filled with shock.
My heart was even more wandering: "Can it still be like this? "Thoughts!
Zhang Tie's expression was full of shock, with trembling in his hand, pointing to the spark that had disappeared: "How is this possible, this ......"
Throwing the small iron stone away, Zhao Zongwu then said seriously: "Everyone knows this in their hearts.
In order to fire a firebolt, it is necessary to ignite the gunpowder in the chamber, and gunpowder needs to be ignited by a spark.
If you want to do this, you have to solve this problem.
But gunpowder and sparks are naturally the contradiction, and if we want to complete the self-generated flint, we must solve this point perfectly!
This may seem like a small thing, but to be able to solve this situation is a huge difference! ”
Looking at the shocked people in their eyes, the corners of Zhao Zongwu's mouth raised a little smile.
"Got it! The little one got it!
If you can place a stone with its own spark in the fire, it can burst out when you hit it, and you will be safe without knocking!
In this way, the problem of fire and flint can be solved! ”
Zhang Tie's expression was excited, and his words revealed excitement.
Xu Jia then said: "Yes, yes, yes! Zhang Tou was right.
The best effect of firing sparks is flint!
Dense, hard, mostly gray and black, it was the first choice for the ancients to make fire!
Even in some places in Daming, it is a very common thing to make fire! ”
The desired effect was achieved, and a smile appeared on Zhao Zongwu's face.
Maybe he can say it straightforwardly, but the effect of this is not as obvious as he thinks now, and scientific research should be so down-to-earth.
The behavior of pulling out seedlings may be effective in a short period of time, but after a long time, there is no benefit except harm.
The research institute is to undertake the guarantee of the Age of Discovery, the Great Industrial Age, Zhao Zongwu does not want it in his heart, this is a place with no appearance.
At this time, the discussion suddenly sounded, and everyone was discussing the situation, telling their thoughts in their hearts, and colliding with the most fierce sparks.
As an expert and prospective student who is immersed in it, aside from the consideration of things outside the body, I am afraid that I will seek breakthroughs and changes in my favorite field, which is probably the happiest moment for every expert and prospective student.
The talents cultivated by themselves are the most trustworthy, and everything is the best arrangement.
