Chapter 372: Congreve Rocket

Gradually, the Huns on the side basically dissipated, there are several black shadows in the jungle on both sides of this place from time to time, here is concentrated in the most advanced technology of Qingzhou, far away is to hear a burst of violent forging sound, stabbing people's ears are a little painful, from a distance it looks like the river is a row of steel machines, with the casting method, it is also the ancient famous lost wax method improvement, the lost wax method used in the wax method, and the transformation of the casting method is made of wood mold and sand is sand mold casting, Theoretically, he could make everything imaginable with this high-level pliers, and some of the parts of later fighter jets were hand-polished by senior fitters. Even in later generations, there are people who can surpass machines and machine tools, and it is the eighth-level fitters who have established the industry of the Celestial Empire, and their hands represent miracles.

The water drives the hammer one by one, and the hammer is raised high and smashed down under the drive of a simple belt on the side, and there are many things underneath, some are the armor leaves of iron armor, some are the guns of the fire gun, or other things, using water to beat, instead of manpower sheet metal work, this is a different kind of improvement.

Machinery can often reach the point where manpower is far from reaching, improve the efficiency of people, here live thousands of apprentices, more than 200 craftsmen day and night research and development, or to build firearms, they use these machines to play ten times, even hundreds of times the efficiency, bursts of mechanical forging sound is a little uncomfortable to the ear, manpower will eventually be exhausted, but the machine will not.

Mrs. Chu helped Xiao Chuan dismount, Xiao Chuan looked a little embarrassed, especially in front of this group of loyal subordinates, he was also helpless, coughed, but found that no one paid attention to him, and everyone was silent in this steel world, and they were completely intoxicated in front of this group of steel machines.

"The drill bit that can move by itself, it's unbelievable" Mi Heng said, he likes to wander his mind at the moment and is also engrossed in looking at the group of steel machines in front of him, everyone doesn't understand, why this group of machines can operate like this, Xiaochuan said: "There will be more shocking in a while!" ”

Walking up, Old Man Li and a group of blacksmiths appeared, with pride in his eyes, he saw Xiao Chuan and talked about it, that is, he understood that although the improvements here were the rear-loading firearms he was looking forward to, there was no progress at all, that is, to reduce the air leakage problem of the Franc machine, and not to let the runner accidentally be burned to death, there were no other improvements, only the forging machines on both sides.

"And this rocket" Old man Li took Xiao Chuan and the others to a shooting range, with a proud expression on his face, there are a few strange big guys parked here, the long arrow shaft is much longer than an ordinary rocket, almost three meters long, the powder keg behind is made of iron, and there are three spiral plates behind, after seeing it, Xiao Chuan is sound He seems to have summoned a team of British rocket troops.

This is a copy of the British Congreve rocket, which is a new type of rocket created by the British improvement of the rocket introduced to India by China, with a balance bar that can be balanced, and three spiral plates that can rotate after the rocket is launched, and the most important thing is the warhead of the flowering bomb, but this thing can only be used on the sailor, because there is no guarantee that the rocket will explode immediately when it falls to the ground.

"What is this, and how does it seem so huge? Mi Heng asked strangely, Old Man Li smiled proudly, and said, "This is one of the rockets prepared for the sailor, and he can explode when he falls on the enemy's ship."

"It's so sharp" Everyone didn't believe it, so Old Man Li stepped forward and lit the fuse of the rocket in the puzzled eyes of everyone, and quickly retreated.

Sou β€”β€”β€”β€” a piercing scream, the rocket flew quickly, a burst of white mist appeared behind, in the air he flew smoothly in a rotating way, crossed a long rainbow-like trajectory in the air, and finally landed on the mountains in the distance, and a second overβ€”β€”β€”β€”, a violent explosion sounded, and a brilliant firelight rose.

The whole group of people looked pale and unbelievable, their expressions were sluggish, even if those craftsmen had seen a lot, they also showed a different shock, Old Man Li said: "These are all the credit of Childe, weak is not the rocket that Childe found last time, we can't make such a sharp weapon"

"Such a sharp rocket, it can be used for sailors," Ogawa said, if the flowering bomb in front of the land rocket falls to the ground and does not explode, it will be embarrassing, two seconds of time is enough for nearby people to escape to a safe distance, and it is very inconvenient to carry such a large rocket. Only the sailor is easy.

"That's right, my lord, we are loaded with a full amount of potions, and he flies smoothly, so if he is skilled, he can control his range error within a small range" Old man Li said, and said: "But this thing is inconvenient to make, because of the large size and his spray concrete is iron, we can only make 400 in a month, and we have only made more than 1,000 in the past few months."

"It's a pity that such a sharp weapon, but the output is not high" Everyone sighed, secretly saying that it was a pity, but Xiao Chuan was thinking about how this thing should suppress the firepower of Zheng Zhilong's big ship, and what is the effect of the tactical attack on the small fireboat going to the sea of people? I'm afraid that you can directly avoid the opponent's small boat and attack the opponent's big ship.

There is another kind of fire dragon out of the water and took it out, this is the prototype of a two-stage rocket, the huge body is beautifully carved, and the thick white fog obscures the scene in front of him in an instant, and he quickly flies towards the sky, and the water battle can be three or four feet away from the water to ignite the fire, that is, fly two or three miles away from the water surface, like a fire dragon out of the river. This is the record of this rocket in the history books of the late Ming Dynasty, and it is also a weapon that shined in the Battle of Luliang at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

This not only reminded Xiaochuan of a foreign program in later generations to make a Chinese rocket out, and the result was a completely similar thing to a toy, I don't know which country's history books they read said that this is the Ming Dynasty's fire dragon out of the water, and then a wave of black, just like Western philosophy, the Chinese saying is that the Tao is born one, life is two, which means that the rules give birth to consciousness and matter are both yin and yang, but foreigners say that we are idealistic, thinking that consciousness appears first, which is also incomprehensible, In high school philosophy books, ancient Chinese philosophy is taken out of context, or simply buttoned up indiscriminately, and the black wave is exactly the same as their methods of blackening the Ming Dynasty rockets.

The rocket with an upward tilt angle, flew forward and raised a puff of smoke and dust on the ground, the white fog covered the land, the propelled rocket burned out, and thousands of divine arrows suddenly flew out, according to the historical records, he was probably equivalent to letting the divine arrow advance a distance of one mile to launch, and burn the enemy ship through the flame tail of the rocket.

"So sharp!" The crowd was shocked, expressing their inner shock at the firearm that could shoot so far and be so sharp.
