Chapter 287: Organ Cannon
Boom, boom, roaring sound, with the kind of loud noise made by large machinery, the machinery and equipment of the seventeenth century are far more spectacular than the later generations, because they are not like the lathes and milling machines of later generations, simplifying and making a large number of industrial components smaller, and the machinery at this time looks like an industrial feeling, like a steel giant.
The river, the river drove the huge gears, the gears rotated, and the gears rotated with wooden gas, knocking on the armor on the bank, it was a row of armor leaves, this kind of armor that can only be made by sheet metal workers thousands of hammers, or other things, a machine can do it, and there is no need for manpower, there is no slightest error.
In the distance is this kind of machine, row by row, many of which are beyond the boundary, or wood, or iron machines made of investment casting, magnificent, and the unique beating sound, which makes people's eardrums hurt, and when they walk into this steel machine, there are artillery guns on the school field, and the guns are being test-fired, which is to see the purpose of their coming.
It was a small car, with thick wooden pipes on it, with the appearance of more than forty heels, and the people behind were looking at their works with satisfaction, and it looked perfect as if it were a European organ, and indeed, his name was also called the organ cannon, and he lit the arquebus, and the organ ran with a burst of anger.
The orange-red flames were accompanied by white smoke, the smoke was filled, and the sound of artillery was endless, instantly filling people's ears, and instantly dense cannonballs shot out, and the wooden rake in front of him flew sideways with sawdust, and the wooden target was beaten upside down and flew out, and there were bursts of cheers.
Old man Li's face was filled with a different kind of excitement, this kind of artillery is not very powerful, but at this density it is simply a big killing weapon, if it is transported by car, this kind of artillery is simply a walking killing weapon, which can easily kill and injure dozens of enemies, plus rockets, it is a mobile fortress.
The craftsmen are full of praise. "This artillery fire is so dense, even before the enemy has rushed into the enemy formation, a burst of artillery fire, in an instant hundreds of people will collapse, this thing is really a killing weapon, compared to the five thunder god machine, the Franc machine is more efficient, more convenient, and so efficient"
"This is all dependent on Childe's whimsy, how did he come up with this kind of idea, why can't we think of it" a strange person said, Childe can bring a kind of whimsy every time he comes here, often hundreds of craftsmen ponder for months and can't understand something, he can indeed be very easy to crack, a sentence can give people a huge breakthrough, just like the artillery in front of them, it turned out to be thinking or like a Fran machine, or like a wheel gun, who would have thought that so many artillery pieces were piled together.
"Hehe, that's for sure, can Childe's thoughts be the same as ours" Old man Li immediately smiled, with a different feeling on his face, looking at these artillery pieces and rockets, which are the most advanced things in this era.
Xiao Chuan came over, just to see the organ cannon, this trip to the Americas, is to bring a steady stream of artillery, firearms, otherwise how to resist the fierce European colonists, at this time it seems that large-scale immigration has begun. Then there were tens of thousands of European colonists, and the ghostly Indians.
When everyone saw Xiao Chuan, they shouted over, and the organ cannon in front of them said with curiosity, "How many of these things are there?" ”
"One Hundred Gates" Old man Li smiled, his face was full of pride, there is no place in the Ming Dynasty that is more efficient than his firearms bureau to make firearms, the only thing that can be compared is the Jiangnan Army, but where there are many more craftsmen than them, Xiaochuan is disappointed, so it is still not enough.
Is it looking at the rockets on the side, the Congreve rocket, this kind of rocket with fuse explosives, a sharp weapon for naval warfare, land warfare? It depends on the control of the length of the fuse, Old Man Li looked at the rocket on the side, with a kind of entanglement on his face, and said, "This rocket is useless to use in naval warfare, no matter when it explodes on the battleship, it will damage the hull of the warship, and this land battle?" The length of the fuse is controlled beyond the control of ordinary people, and there are too many twists and turns involved. ”
Ogawa with loss, so this rocket can not be brought to the Americas, if there is a starting device it is much simpler, but unfortunately no, can only rely on experience, Ogawa is thinking of the Shenji battalion, that group of nobles, they are very proficient in artillery fuses, this kind of calculation or something should also have experience.
A soft call from "Childe" made Xiaochuan Mianlou bitter.
****************
Rocket? The Xungui of the Divine Machine Battalion looked at the big rocket in front of him with a different expression on his face, this one looks like a person's arm is thick, and it is so long, part of it is made of iron rockets, and there is a triangular rotation mechanism in the back, it looks like a thing like a work of art, Xu Wenjue touched this thing, and said with a strange face, "This thing is a treasure given to us?" He really couldn't see anything different about it.
"Rockets? Can such a thick thing fly?" said a noble on the side, feeling that he was not so easy to fly when he touched this rocket. "I don't think this thing can fly!"
Xu Wenjue looked at the organ cannon, this cannon was so powerful that their jaws were about to drop, and then look at this new rocket, it shouldn't be too bad, right? "Try it!" Little Liu, here you come! ”
"I still have an old mother in my family" The person who is called Xiaoliu is naturally unwilling, everyone bows their heads, no one is willing to risk their lives, Xu Wenjue has no way to attract a long fuse, that is, it is lit, everyone ran a hundred meters away, and some also found rattan cards.
After the fuse was lit, there was a sharp sound, and the rocket shot into the sky in front of him like an arrow from the string, and a beautiful white tail of smoke crossed the air, which looked extremely beautiful, and the nobles were dumbfounded.
"It's really flying" The man called Xiaoliu looked at the rocket, "This thing can fly so far"
"And the trajectory is so straight, straight! It's like an arrow shot from a bow. Everyone thought it was incredible, "What kind of people are this Qingzhou Firearms Bureau?"
Everyone was shocked, the Beijing Ordnance Bureau couldn't make this kind of firearm, right, so sharp?
Xu Wenjue had a shock on his face, but it was a little strange, what is the use of this thing? Isn't it just shooting far, and others have already run away when there is a war.
Touching ———— a loud sound like an earthquake mountainside in the distance, everyone's eyes were incredible, Xu Wenjue's face became solemn at this time, and he said, "I understand, why did the National Guild hand over this kind of firearm to our Shenji Battalion."
The nobles grew their mouths, looking at the explosion in the distance, so far away, it can still explode, Xiao Liu touched his head and said, "Fuze, it must be because of the fuse problem, this sharp firearm can only be handed over to our Shenji Battalion"
"Hehe, that's for sure, who in the world still has our Divine Machine Battalion who is more proficient in this fuse" Xu Wenjue laughed.
