Chapter 23 Smoothbore Rear Loading Cannon
Zhao Shu held the book "Detailed Explanation of Modern Weapons" that Mingyue turned out for him, Zhao Shu wondered for a while, it seemed that not only did he cross over, but his own things also crossed over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because his aunt, uncle and cousin Li Hang in later generations were all soldiers, Zhao Shu also received a certain amount of edification, and he has been a hardcore military fan since he was a child. In addition, Beijing Institute of Technology focuses on the development of military industry, so Zhao Shu has the opportunity to get in touch with some weapon principles.
But after all, modern military equipment still belongs to the state secret class, and only professionals are qualified to share it, so Zhao Shu can only come into contact with modern military equipment These old antiques.
And this "Detailed Explanation of Modern Weapons" was compiled by his mentor.,I think I spent a lot of effort to ask my mentor to come to this book.,Originally, I just wanted to see it to satisfy my curiosity.,I didn't expect it to come in handy this time.。
Zhao Shu flipped through the "Detailed Explanation of Modern Weapons", which was thicker than an encyclopedia, according to the table of contents, and the further down he scrolled, the heavier the black line on Zhao Shu's face became.
"Howitzers, battleships, heavy tanks....... Nima, it seems that the metallurgical technology of the Song Dynasty has not yet reached this level. Zhao Shu angrily slammed the book to the ground.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Zhao Shu's actions alarmed Mingyue, who was standing aside, Mingyue casually picked up the book on the ground and asked, "Your Highness, what is recorded in this book?" Just now.... What guns, ships, and what's that? ”
Looking at Mingyue's appearance, Zhao Shu's anger suddenly disappeared a lot, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "The ones recorded above are all peerless divine soldiers!" Once you have it, you can level the world between gestures, and no one can beat it! ”
As soon as Zhao Shu finished speaking, he noticed that Mingyue's face had become extremely gloomy, Mingyue bit her lip and said, "Then after having these divine soldiers, won't the world be ruined again, and the people will suffer!" ”
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, she originally wanted to say this sentence to arouse her curiosity, but she didn't expect Mingyue to say this. There is a story, there must be a story, what did Mingyue experience before, but Zhao Shu still comforted him and said, "Don't worry!" It is recorded in the book that these peerless divine soldiers need a large amount of iron of Xuangang and Nine Heavens of Oil to be successfully cast, and these things are rare treasures, and they are not even yet. So it's definitely not going to be made. ”
"Alas, I don't know when the strife in this world will end!" Zhao Shu's relief obviously didn't play any role, Mingyue said sentimentally.
Zhao Shu didn't know what to say, yes, just like Mingyue said, how good it would be if there was no war for human beings, even if the productive forces were highly developed and the technology was quite developed in later generations, the situation was just like Zhuo Yiting's song: "Look up and look for the wings of the sky, and the migratory bird will show its traces, bringing the news that the famine and the ruthless war in the distance still exist." ”
"The ancients said: If you go out, you will be invincible to foreign troubles, and if you enter, you will not be able to fight the country. In fact, war is only to make the people of their own country live better and not become slaves of other countries! Zhao Shu said to Mingyue from a different angle.
Mingyue didn't answer Zhao Shu's words, but flipped through the book "Detailed Explanation of Modern Weapons", although Mingyue couldn't understand the simplified characters, but the color pictures on it were real.
"By the way, Your Highness, who is the painting on this book? It's so realistic! Looking at the color picture on the book, Mingyue exclaimed.
Can it not be realistic, and later generations will take pictures of it with a camera and then print it on a book. When Mingyue said this, Zhao Shu seemed to think of something, ran to his bedside, and groped under the pillow for a while, and then, a white square object was turned out by Zhao Shu. THIS IS THE "VIVOXPLAYS" BACKGAMMON MOBILE PHONE COMMONLY USED BY ZHAO SHU IN LATER GENERATIONS.
After being overjoyed for a while, under the gaze of Mingyue, Zhao Shu pressed the power button. Half a minute later, the phone was turned on, because I turned the phone off for a long time, and the quality of the phone was not bad, so fortunately there was still 84% of the battery left when it was turned on.
"Your Highness, what is this?" Mingyue looked at the mobile phone in Zhao Shu's hand, and was also stunned for a while, feeling that Zhao Shu was a little nervous now.
Zhao Shu did not answer Mingyue's words, but said to Mingyue with a bad smile: "Mingyue, look here!" ”
Mingyue looked at Zhao Shu in amazement, and said, Zhao Shu turned on the mobile phone camera and shouted: "Mingyue, shout eggplant!" ”
Mingyue didn't know what Zhao Shu meant by this, but she still did it, and whispered: "Eggplant~!" ”
"Click!" Seeing a flash of white light on Mingyue's side, Mingyue was startled and quickly covered her eyes with her hands.
It's broken, Zhao Shu has completely forgotten when he used the camera function, and the camera's flash is still on, which really scares Mingyue a lot. Fortunately, this is still the kind of camera used in the 21st century, if it is the kind of camera used in the Republic of China, the kind that takes pictures with explosions and smoke, it must scare the bright moon to death.
"Your Highness! What is this? Mingyue asked very worriedly.
"Alright, it's okay! Didn't you say who painted those paintings? Come and see! Zhao Shu handed the phone to Mingyue and said.
Mingyue held the phone very carefully, and the picture on the phone was frozen in the picture when Mingyue dodged the flash.
Mingyue's face suddenly showed a flush, she looked at her phone shyly, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, how did this painting come about?" I don't even use paint, pen and ink. ”
"......" Zhao Shu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to explain to Mingyue, do you want to tell her: The sun shines on your body, and the light is reflected into the camera lens, and the camera captures these rays, and then freezes it?
"That's right, Your Highness! What kind of weapon is this? It seems that all the iron in the world can be made. Mingyue was extremely smart and saw that Zhao Shu didn't want to answer, so she changed the topic and pointed to a pattern on the "Detailed Explanation of Modern Weapons" and said.
Zhao Shu took the book casually, it doesn't matter if he doesn't read it, this time, Zhao Shu's eyes widened. This picture shows several 19th-century European soldiers practicing a cannon. Under the book, there is a very detailed introduction to this gun, and the assembly drawings and schematic drawings of this gun are also attached later.
It was a smoothbore rearloading gun cast by the British at the beginning of the nineteenth century, with shells loaded from the rear of the gun and a caliber of 80 mm. The barrel of the cannon has a baffle, which can effectively block the damage of the enemy's stray bullets, not to mention the ancient arrows, which are simply negligible. The gun body is also equipped with wheels, which can be easily pulled by two or even one pack horse without much manpower and material resources.
Zhao Shu was overjoyed, patted his head, according to the introduction in this book, this smoothbore cannon can be cast according to the metallurgical level of the Northern Song Dynasty, why didn't he see this page just now?
Mingyue looked at Zhao Shu with an unknown look, she didn't know why Zhao Shu was so happy, was it just because of the divine soldiers in the book?
Of course not, as we all know, the heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin" were sent to attack Fang La after being recruited by the imperial court, and in the face of Fang La's fortified city barriers, the heroes of Liangshan suffered heavy losses, losing more than half.
And for Zhao Shu, the heroes of Liangshan will be his first army. It must not be lost more than half when pacifying Fang La, and in the face of the advanced smoothbore rear-loading guns of later generations, those bandits in Fang La have no defense and experience at all, so it may be much easier.
And the rate of fire of this kind of artillery is not slow, compared with the red-coated cannon of the Ming Dynasty, the rate of fire is more than one grade faster, even when facing the cavalry impact of the Jin soldiers in the back, it can still be at ease.
"That's right! Mingyue, don't mention today's incident to anyone! After a burst of joy, Zhao Shu said to Mingyue.
Mingyue nodded and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the slave will definitely not tell anyone!" ”
A black line flashed on Zhao Shu's face, and he said, "Don't be a slave anymore!" Now there are no outsiders, can you change the name. ”
"Got it! The concubine will never tell anyone! Mingyue's cheeks flushed again, looking particularly charming, and she lowered her head and said to Zhao Shu.
"By the way, where did you get me this book? Are there any other books? When he saw this book, Zhao Shu was extremely excited, and now he wondered if he had brought any more valuable books.
Mingyue pointed to a corner of the room, Zhao Shu looked fixedly, it was the black backpack he often carried in his later life, Zhao Shu was about to walk over, but Mingyue shouted: "Your Highness!" The concubine has already helped you put the books inside! ”
Mingyue pointed to a column on the bookshelf, Zhao Shu looked at Mingyue's fingers, the packaging of the books in that column was obviously different from other columns, which was really discordant.
Zhao Shu walked to the bookshelf, and his hands were about to touch the books......
"Squeak~"
The door was pushed open, Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly withdrew his hand, these are his own bargaining chips in this era, but they must not be discovered by others.
Zhao Shu looked back, and it was his own guard captain Zhou Yang who pushed the door open. At this moment, Zhou Yang did not wear civilian clothes again, but a black iron armor, a black helmet on his head, a white feather shackle flowing down from the top of the helmet, plus a black cloak on his back, and a saber on his waist, which looked particularly powerful.
Zhou Yang bent down and clenched his fists and said to Zhao Shu: "Your Highness! It's been a long time since that Dongying person was arrested, I don't know what His Highness plans to do with it? ”
Dongying people? Yes, it was the Japanese samurai who rushed into his car, Zhou Yang didn't say that Zhao Shu almost forgot about him, and said: "Take me to the side hall, I will interrogate him personally!" ”
"Ordered !!"
Then, Zhou Yang put down his fist and held the hilt of the knife, and walked out of the door, Zhao Shu glanced at Mingyue affectionately, and after Mingyue nodded to him, Zhao Shu followed Zhou Yang to the side hall.
