"Isn't it too heavy?" , In the secret military factory in Fuding County, Chen Jialuo picked up a grenade with a wooden handle and asked, he turned it upside down, this thing seems to be much bigger than the guys he saw in film and television dramas.

"If you want to achieve a certain lethality, this is already the smallest charge, and no matter how light it is, it is useless!" Gao Zhisi said, "This is already a lot lighter than the French grenade, no way, the explosive power of gunpowder is still a little insufficient!" ”

"Preliminary experiments have been done, and the average soldier cannot reach the minimum throw distance of this grenade, so the only way to do this is to select a separate company of grenadiers from the army with strong men, and it is for this reason that King Louis XIV of France formed the first grenadier unit in France almost fifty years ago." Fortunately, the food of our army can keep up, and it is not difficult to choose some soldiers who meet the physical standards. Of course, we have been working on the research and development of high-power gunpowder, and we have found some ways to do several methods mentioned by the helmsman, but it takes time. ”

"Well, you two gentlemen have worked hard! It is still necessary to pay attention to safety during this experiment. Chen Jialuo also knows that any weapon improvement will take a long time, because his own existence of the Red Flower Society can avoid many detours, which is not easy, "Let's make a batch of equipment troops first, and I will do the screening of personnel." ”

"Okay, I have arranged the preparation for production, and I expect to be able to come out with the first batch of products this month." After Yang Dewang finished speaking, he led Chen Jialuo to another experimental table, picked up a barrel and handed it to Chen Jialuo, "Chief helmsman, please see, the rifling range after rifling is four times the original, but unfortunately the loading time is longer than the original." ”

"With the quality of my Qing soldiers, even if it takes a long time to reload, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to rush to the front of our queue in the rain of bullets!" Chen Jialuo smiled, now the inside of the barrel is engraved with spiral rifling, which was used by Patrick Ferguson, who became famous for sparing Washington in the American Revolutionary War seventeen years later. "If it is combined with reloading bullets, the rate of fire of this rifle may exceed that of our current rifle, right?" , the breech gun, invented by Patrick Ferguson, can fire six rounds per minute and can hit the eye of a cow at a distance of 91 meters. In this era, it can be used as a sniper rifle, and it is even more powerful if you add a rear load.

"It's just that rifling engraving is not easy, and the current production speed can't keep up." Gao Classi shook his head regretfully, it is still not easy to successfully transform laboratory production into factory production.

"Let's make a batch and send it to the special forces. Just in time for them to test it out and see what they can improve! Chen Jialuo took a strange-shaped bullet and looked at it, the diameter of the conical bullet was slightly smaller than the diameter of the chamber, there was a conical hole at the bottom of the bullet, and a wooden plug blocked the bottom of the hole.

"The diameter of the warhead is smaller than the diameter of the breech, so that it is easy to load, and when fired, the gas presses the wooden plug into the cavity, forcing the bottom of the bullet to expand and fit snugly against the rifling. The gap between the warhead and the chamber is closed, so that the gas cannot leak out, and the warhead can rotate at high speed under rifling pressure. Gao Zhisi explained, "The chief helmsman is really a wonderful idea, if it weren't for the chief helmsman's prompting, we would have thought of this method for a while!" ”

This is the famous Mini bullet! Chen Jialuo secretly sighed, "In the early years, when I was learning martial arts, I once saw some blow arrows used by the Southwest Yi people, with soft wooden hearts at the end. When the arrow is blown, the heart of the wood expands, blocking the blowpipe and launching the arrow, and I thought that maybe the bullet could also take advantage of this principle. This is a Mini bullet! With this thing, combined with a breech-loading rifled gun, the firing range can be increased to more than four hundred meters, in the shadow of such long-range rifles. White-knuckle combat will be gradually eliminated, and on the premise that the shooting distance and accuracy will be greatly improved, there will no longer be a need to rely on a barrage of guns to kill and injure the enemy, and the evacuation formation will replace the neat and uniform queue; Artillery will also retreat to the back of the infantry and become a support weapon. Its appearance will completely bury the era of cold weapons, and allow the army of the Red Flower Order to completely free itself from the threat of cavalry. When this rifle can be mass-produced, even if the Qing soldiers send a large number of cavalry, the result can only be to advance the battle of Bali Bridge.

Next, I looked at the fire cap, thundermercury and other products, several key technical problems of the rear loading gun have been solved in the laboratory, of course, it will still take a long time to combine them together and achieve factory production, but only in this regard, the safflower society has temporarily taken the lead in the competition with Europe, not to mention my Daqing!

Relatively speaking, the improvement of artillery was slower than that of rifles, and the development of long-barreled cannons and flowering shells had encountered bottlenecks, but Gao Zhisi was full of confidence, and they followed the Cartesian methodology in their experiments: first, everything can be doubted, as long as it is not experimentally proven; Then, the complex problem to be studied will be broken down into a number of relatively simple small problems as much as possible, and solved separately one by one. Arrange these small problems from simple to complex, starting with the easy ones to solve. After all the problems are solved, they are comprehensively tested to see if they are complete and whether the problems are completely solved.

Under the guidance of this scientific thought, Gao Zhisi and Yang Dewang's research has achieved such great results, coupled with Chen Jialuo, a plug-in who knows the direction of the development of weapons in later generations, the weapon research and development efficiency of the Red Flower Society is quickly on the right track.

Finally, Gao Zhisi took out a gadget, "This is a pistol made of a thunder mercury fire cap device, and a few are handmade in the laboratory, and the chief helmsman may wish to take them for self-defense." ”

Chen Jialuo took it and looked at it, and tested a few rounds according to Gao Classi's guidance, although it was still very troublesome to load, but it was also a weapon for self-defense. With this thing, it seems that he no longer has to worry about going head-to-head with people, imagine that when the moon is dark and the wind is high, he confronts a martial arts master for a while, the other party has just used enough internal strength, adjusted his mental state to the best, and rushed straight towards himself with a weapon, and he slowly pulled out a pistol from his waist to aim, and the fire flashed, and the master who had to take dozens of trillions in the past was lying on the ground so inexplicably. It's a great feeling! Chen Jialuo fell into the shameless YY. (To be continued.) )
