Chapter 286: Mass production of assault guns and redcoat cannons
"What?!"
Lu Bu was extremely shocked, got up and said, "Take me quickly!" ”
"No."
The two came to the Institute of Science and Technology and smelled a pungent smell of gunsmoke.
There were twice as many soldiers standing guard and patrolling as usual, and three sentry posts were set up inside and out.
The first way is to drive away the passers-by, and they are not allowed to enter unless they are allowed to give documents by the high-level.
Second, it is forbidden for anyone to enter or leave, including Zhang Feng, Chen Gui, and Ma Jun, and all news is conveyed by the soldiers.
The third is where gunpowder is developed. The task of the soldiers is to monitor the people in the science and technology institute, and they are not allowed to carry fire, flammable materials, make noise, or pass on news.
In the Science and Technology Institute, there are many dark sentinels, shadows, patrols, and escort teams, which are responsible for the security of the entire Science and Technology Institute.
Under this dense spider's web, it is believed that even a fly will be difficult to fly into.
Lu Bu and Zhang Feng came to the back of the third sentry and saw Ma Jun and Chen Gui.
"Meet my lord."
"No courtesy."
Lu Bu said excitedly: "I heard that you have developed an assault gun and a red-coated cannon, I don't know if it's true or not, let's take a look." ”
"It's... It's really my lord, I... We.... Ma Jun stammered his report.
Lu Bu smiled bitterly: "Ma Jun, your stuttering is not good yet?" Let's let the stereotypes report, so that I don't have to wait for you for half a day, and I can't hear clearly. ”
"Yes."
Ma Jun was also very distressed, stuttering became a habit, and he couldn't even do anything about the hospital.
Chen Gui hugged his fists and said: "Father-in-law is graceful." Our scientific and technological institute has developed assault rifles and redcoat cannons, as well as the latest artillery shells. There are close-range, long-range, solid, and scatter-shot. ”
"Take me to the scene." Lu Bu couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart.
"Yes. Father-in-law please. ”
Led by the stereotype, we came to a clearing. Instructed the people in the Institute of Science and Technology to bring the newly developed assault rifles and red-coated cannons.
Lu Bu took a look, the weight of the red-clothed cannon was at least one and a half tons!
That's three thousand catties!
The barrel was placed on the carriage and was almost half a man high.
Chen Gui walked to the front and introduced: "The basic structure of the red-coated cannon is the wheels, frame, and barrel. The wheels and carriages are used to carry the barrel forward, mainly the barrel, which is used to fire shells. Our shells are divided into solid and scattered shells. A solid bullet is an iron ball.... ”
Speaking of this, Chen Gui took out an iron ball the size of a watermelon from the box next to him and said: "First use the 544 mine, load it in the barrel, pull out the lead, and then push the iron ball into the barrel and ignite the lead." After the explosion of the 544 mine, a powerful force will be generated to push this iron ball out, with a range of 1,000 meters, half the distance farther than Cao Jun's Thunderbolt chariot. ”
"And then there are the shotshots. The shotshot was made from a mixture of large pieces of iron, saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, and when the soldiers ignited the fuse of the 544 mine, it would push him to a distance of 400 meters, causing it to explode in mid-air. A large number of pieces of iron in the shotgun will shoot in all directions, causing serious damage to the enemy. However, it is not very powerful, and it is difficult to kill the enemy. Most likely, even the armor of the enemy will not be able to penetrate it. ”
Lu Bu stepped forward and weighed the weight of the solid bullet and the scattered bullet, and found that the scattered bullet was more than twice as light as the solid bullet.
Lu Bu asked: "Why can solid bullets hit 1,000 meters, but scattered bullets can only hit 400 meters?" ”
"Back to my father. Because the scattered bomb will explode at a position of 400 meters, and it will not be able to go any further. And it's dangerous when using a shotgun, and it's likely to explode at close range, injuring our own soldiers. Until now, we have not mastered the law of his explosion. The stereotype replied.
"It is necessary to master it as soon as possible and extend the attack range."
"Yes."
Overall, not bad. Solid bullets can be used to siege cities and destroy enemy walls and gates. Shotshots are used to kill enemies at close range. If used properly, it can be worth 100,000 male soldiers.
"And assault guns. His range was three hundred meters. After the fuse is lit, the gunpowder explodes in the barrel and all the iron bullets are ejected. Achieve the effect of damaging enemies in a large area. ”
"But don't use it for a long time, otherwise the barrel will be burned red and you will hurt yourself." After the introduction of the old rules, he was very proud, waiting for Lu Bu to praise him. After all, during the Three Kingdoms period, there was no such new type of weapon.
Lu Bu looked left and right, but he frowned: "The range is too close, the attack speed is too slow, and it must be improved." ”
"Uh... Father-in-law, we have thought of all the options, and this is already the best effect. "Stereotyped.
"Lord Chen, can you try it out?" Zhang Feng asked.
Chen Gui looked at Lu Bu.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Give it a try, don't always talk on paper." ”
"No."
Chen Gui took a torch, aimed the cannon at the earthen wall a kilometer away, and then advanced the Jian-544 mine and solid shells, and ignited the fuse with the torch.
Rumble!
With a deafening and earth-shattering explosion, the entire barrel and frame shook violently, and a black iron ball shot thousands of kilometers away, right in the middle of the earthen wall. Knock down a one-meter-thick earthen wall.
"Well... Hahaha, it's really powerful! Lu Bu laughed.
Zhang Feng, Chen Gui, and Ma Jun were also excited.
"And shotshots. It's a bit dangerous to use shotshots, so please step back a bit. "Stereotyped.
Lu Bu, Zhang Feng, and Ma Jun retreated to five meters away.
The stereotype made people place three false walls at a position of 320 meters.
Rumble!
After the shotgun was launched, it exploded at a position of 300 meters, spraying a large amount of iron pieces onto the false wall, making the false wall densely covered with iron sheets, some of which were inserted very deeply, and some of which were on the surface.
At the same time as the explosion, the huge energy generated also caused the three false walls to tilt backwards.
"Good, good... Although it is not as powerful as solid bullets, the density of attacks is okay. Stereotyped, I really didn't misread you. The red-coated cannon was really made by you, and it has made a great achievement! ”
"Thank you father-in-law for the compliment."
Chen Gui was overjoyed and tried out the assault rifle one after another.
The effect of the assault rifle, compared to the cannon, is of course inferior. However, it is easy to carry and can attack the enemy at a distance of 300 meters in a wide range. Even if you can't kill an enemy, you can still hurt an enemy.
And as the distance gets closer, the power becomes more and more powerful, and the practicality is very strong.
"Overall, not bad. It's just that the attack speed is too slow, and each time you use it, it takes ten breaths to reload gunpowder and live ammunition, and then you have to use an open flame to ignite the fuse, and it takes another five breaths. Do you know how far the enemy can run in fifteen breaths? ”
Lu Bu's evaluation made Chen Gui a little displeased, and retorted: "Father-in-law, our assault rifle can inflict a wide range of casualties on the enemy, even if it takes fifteen breaths, it is stronger than a bow and arrow. ”
"How can you think that? Bows and arrows are simple to make, using only wood and pig iron. And the assault rifle uses explosives, how can the two be compared? Lu Budao.
