Chapter 114: Cannon Power
"It's not worth it!" Master Ma didn't care about Qian Lianghu's angry appearance at all: "Wrought iron is okay, the rest ...... Nothing. ”
"You can penetrate heavy armor and kill people within fifty steps, but you can't resist light armor at seventy steps!" Qian Lianghu snorted, "I think it's very good!" ”
"Our Ming Dynasty's bow can kill people in fifty steps, and within seventy steps, there is still a quasi-head!" Master Ma glanced at him disdainfully: "How many firearms cost, and how much does this bow and arrow cost?" Besides, this firearm is so heavy, the power is poor, and the accuracy is poor, except for the fact that this iron is a little famous, the rest, I really don't see anything outstanding! ”
Gao Han was silent, listening to them, in fact, the advantages and disadvantages of this firearm, he knew very well in his heart, even if the West has gradually entered the stage of transformation from cold weapons to hot weapons, but firearms are still not the decisive factor in combat, at least for now, except for the bombardment of firearms at sea, in land operations, firearms are still not the decisive factor.
Take this adventurer in Ho Jing Ao as an example, if firearms are so convenient to carry and powerful, then these adventurers are only afraid that as long as they have a little wealth, they will immediately buy themselves a pair of such equipment, but firearms are still ranked behind in the adventurer's weapon sequence, even if the adventurer's use is to first cause some kills, and then use cold weapons to decide the winner.
In addition to the shortcomings such as expensive construction and poor accuracy, the most important point is that flintlock firearms have not yet appeared, and the firing speed and frequency of firearms are too low.
After the Ming Dynasty made certain achievements in the independent production of firearms and imitation of Xiyi firearms, the first thing that came to mind was to equip the border army, after all, in the national defense strategy of the Ming Dynasty, the nomads in the north were the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty.
However, it is very interesting that a large number of firearms have been spent on equipping the border army, but they have been unanimously disliked by the border army of the Ming Dynasty.
Think about it, in the battle between cavalry and infantry, the musketeers are, of course, infantry. From the cavalry charging to the infantry to meet the enemy, if a skilled archer during this period, he can probably shoot three or four arrows, but firearms, after one shot, I am afraid that when the second shot is still loaded, the cavalry has already rushed to the front of the infantry, for the sake of their own lives, the border army is not willing to abandon the light bow and arrow and use this heavy and heavy fire gun that is useless in their opinion.
Dongguan Qianhu also has firecrackers, not many, dozens of them, Gao Han saw it, although this firecracker is also carrying a firecracker, but the other weapons on the body, compared to other soldiers, there is no less at all, the one who should hold the knife takes the knife, the one who should take the shield takes the shield, the firecracker is purely a waste after a shot, and it cannot be easily discarded, it is estimated that the firecracker is not a good errand in the eyes of those sergeants, and even only those who make mistakes will do this firecracker.
"Accuracy is not a problem, the army is fighting, this firearm must be used intensively!" Gao Han said lightly, no matter how bad his things are, he is not allowed to be picked on here: "Hundreds of thousands of shots have been shot, where is the reason why you can't hit!" ”
"We have a tiger squat cannon in the Ming Dynasty!" Master Ma snorted, looking disdainful.
"As for power, that's not a problem!"
"A tiger squat cannon can kill people like a cannon!"
"I said, Master Ma, are you here to test the gun, or are you here to find fault!" Qian Lianghu was furious, "We don't plan to sell this musket to the Ministry of War, you don't need to point out here, you better concentrate on buying your cannon!" ”
"You don't plan to sell it to the military department, do you plan to sell it to Fanren?" Master Ma was stunned for a moment, and looked at Olivia: "I'm not stupid, this firearms factory, Fanren is just a decoration, and he can't be the master!" ”
"Even if you don't sell it to the Ministry of War, you can sell it to the Imperial Horse Supervisor!" Gao Han couldn't see his determined look: "Qian Tiju is a person from the palace, and this face must still be there, so don't worry about it here!" ”
"You wrought iron, you can buy some!" Master Ma is not a technical official, and he doesn't see it when people are so obvious: "This kind of fine iron, making these useless firecrackers, it's really a waste, if you can buy some in large quantities, the Bureau may be able to make better cannons, if you mix a little bronze in it, it can solve a lot of problems when we make cannons, but this is a good test to test, the proportion of this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to ponder......"
As he spoke, he ignored the two people who were dissatisfied with his existence, and picked up the fire gun on the table again and muttered.
Gao Han smiled bitterly, I really can't deal with this person, everyone is a technical nerd, is it interesting to talk about anything else?
"My lord, although this musket is a little heavier, but the power is still good!" Olivia checked the target that the craftsmen had brought back: "I think this is a bit like the heavy musket in our dynasty team!" ”
"Heavy muskets?" Gao Han's mind suddenly appeared that two people were carrying a huge barrel, where they were snorting and charging and shooting, and he immediately shook his head: "What I want is not a heavy musket, lightweight, powerful, and accurate, these three are what I want, such a musket, let's work hard to improve it, it's a waste to make it, it's better not to build it!" ”
"This ......" is not only the craftsman next to him, but even Bourne, who has been standing on the side, frowned when he heard the words of the translator.
"Don't worry about how much it costs, Olivia will solve all this, but if the firearms made can't even reach your previous level, then this firearms factory will have no point in existing!"
The test gun test of the firearms factory became a farce, and the newly made firearms were far below Gao Han's expectations.
However, the emergence of the technical otaku gave him a new way of thinking.
Whether it is with the original team of this firearms factory, or with the new combination of old craftsmen and new craftsmen, one thing is certain: no matter how much this firearms factory is tossed, because of the limitations of its raw materials and processes, this firearms factory will never be able to make better firearms than in the Kingdom of Portugal today.
Compared with the national factory, it is just a small workshop, and the production of a small workshop is comparable to the products of the national arsenal that has almost begun standardized production, which is delusional, let alone transcendence.
That is to say, if there is no innovation, there is no more capable thing, this firearms factory is actually not fundamentally different from the workshops that imitated these Xiyi firearms in the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Han doesn't know technology, even his vague memories of his past life can't bring him any substantive changes, he knows that the current firearms are further from the breech to the breech, from the arquebus to the flint, he has already taken a big advantage, but he doesn't intend to tell the secret he knows.
