Chapter 151: Mortars of seventy-three calibers
Later, none of the old men thought that the fastest to accept the pension business was actually a nunnery!
And this thing is still done quietly and personally. X
Jing Jing explained to a few old men: "If we contribute money and materials to let the family help take care of the elderly, this is a good deed, and they have no reason to refuse...... You don't have to calculate like that in the future, right?
When I went to the nunnery, they agreed on the spot, thanking them for their promise to help them build a few dormitories for the elderly and provide material guarantees.
It's a win-win situation, you think too much of others......"
Okay, a few big men are speechless, women do things directly, maybe they underestimate the kindness of people in this time and space?!
Wu Dapeng sighed and said: "At the beginning, we were worried that the Great Song Dynasty government would make us communist, but it didn't happen, and we still get along happily; Now I am worried that they will not be willing to do good deeds and the result will be ...... We also forget that the people of this plane have not been fed wolf milk for decades, and those who have evil genes flowing in them may not yet occupy the mainstream of society. ”
Previously, Jing Jing was curious about the phenomenon of being able to come to the Badaohe area to open a nunnery...... To be honest, she didn't like the young woman's act of serving the Buddha, and it was completely understandable that she was a layman at home...... She was a little distressed.
However, when she took her men to see there, the presiding teacher there was very respectful of her and explained the arrangements for the young nuns in the nunnery.
They accept the young woman's request to serve the Buddha, but when they change their minds, they still have to let them leave the temple...... Only those who really have the intention of serving the Buddha will stay in the end.
Jing Jing was happy after listening to it, and said, "Okay, if there is a girl who can't think about it for a while, you can provide temporary shelter here, and shaving your hair is nothing!"
When they want to open it, they can still leave happily after regrowing their hair......"
The host smiled and said, "My Buddha is compassionate, but when I see the bird that has lost its way in the wind and rain, I will naturally find a shelter for it......
Quiet sighed, this is the real religion!
Religion without great love, that's a kind of kidnapping!
Jing Jing proposed on the spot to set up a charitable fund, and to donate a large amount of money to be responsible for the operation of this nunnery.
She told the host that there was absolutely no need to worry about the material.
Wu Dapeng exclaimed: "Pension charity fund? This method is good, you can check the accounts, you can operate, and you can make money if you get it right! ”
Quiet sighed softly, these people still didn't trust others that much.
In fact, the aging of the Federal Empire is far from beginning...... It's a young empire!
They are just preparing in advance to make religion serve society......
The work of Wu Dapeng and Wanshida began to separate, and Wanshida began to focus on the preparatory work of the Imperial University...... In a way, this work may now be more important than the issue of pensions!
Wu Dapeng said: "You prepare slowly, don't worry about religious matters, as long as you have ideas, I can do it alone." ”
Wan Shida agreed, and went to work alone to carry out the preliminary work of building the Imperial University...... Of course, he still needs the help of his friends.
But Song Ziqiang was not very enthusiastic, he said: "Wang Defa is on the right path, let's vigorously develop technical schools first, if it weren't for the technical schools they run, I wouldn't be able to pick out so many helpers...... The mortars all got me out! ”
Yes?!
Wan Shida and Wu Dapeng are busy with religious affairs these days, but they didn't expect Song Ziqiang to quietly do a big job!
There is no news about the medium- and high-pressure steam-powered engine, the fifteen-horsepower large flywheel diesel engine, but such a weapon has emerged...... That's a great thing.
Wan Shida hurriedly followed Song Ziqiang to the test gun playground of the Liuqiu Military Factory.
Anyone with a little military knowledge knows that a mortar is a kind of curved smoothbore artillery with a short barrel, a large firing angle, a high ballistic arc, a seat plate to bear recoil, and a muzzle loading and firing a tail shell.
This kind of gun is loaded from the muzzle, and the gun is mainly curved fire, with a short barrel, a short firing range, and is light and flexible. Mortars can fire at targets behind shelters.
Anyone who knows a little about machining techniques or has worked as a pipe worker also knows how simple and easy the structure of this cannon is...... I can't go into too much detail.
It is composed of four parts: the gun body, the gun carriage, the seat plate and the sight.
The gun body can be selected differently according to the distance of the firing range, the length of the gun body is generally between 1~1.5m; the gun carriage is mostly a bipod, which can be adjusted according to the target position and direction, and can be folded when carrying; the seat plate is the main component to bear the recoil force, and at the same time together with the bipod plays the role of supporting the mortar body; the sight is mostly an optical sight, engraved with direction and high and low division.
The main features of the mortar compared to other conventional artillery are:
The trajectory is curved, which is suitable for overtaking shooting at targets behind hills, as well as direct fire at close targets; Moreover, it is easy to reload, the rate of fire is high, and it can reach 20~30 rounds / min casually, with strong firepower and good killing effect; Its weight is light, small in size, strong in mobility, medium and small-caliber mortars can be carried on horsebacks, hit and run, can quickly transfer positions; The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, it is easy to produce on a large scale, and the cost is low.
Wan Shida saw three mortars placed in three sandbag bunkers about ten meters apart on the test range.
"What caliber are they?"
"Seventy-three caliber ......"
"How did you come up with such a standard?!"
Song Ziqiang said lazily: "This broken data is determined by the processing technology of the bullet body...... The body of the bomb is too big or too small, and our continuous precision casting and grinding technology is not up to par...... This data is just right, and it can be processed in 100 a day. ”
"Only 100 rounds?!"
"Ah, be content...... I couldn't have done it without those mechanics to help me! ”
Well, Wanshida doesn't speak, and you have to learn to be content.
The operation and use of the mortar is also very simple, after finding and aiming at the target, the mortar shell is slid from the muzzle into the barrel, and the bottom fire of the shell hits the firing pin at the bottom of the barrel by relying on its own mass; Or it can rely on its own mass to slide to the bottom of the gun body, and after the shooter releases the firing pin, it will hit the bottom of the shell.
The primer ignited the basic charge tube at the tail of the shell, and then the gunpowder tied to the additional charge pack on the outside of the shell was also ignited.
Although there must be a certain gap between the shell and the barrel to ensure that the shell slides off smoothly, the closed air ring on the outside of the shell can still create a great pressure in the chamber, pushing the gun to eject the muzzle and fly to the target.
This firing principle of the mortar determines that the mortar shell cannot be tightly attached to the barrel, so it cannot rely on rifling to rotate the shell to stabilize its flight direction, but use the tail stabilization device to ensure its flight attitude.
Therefore, all mortar shells carry a tail fin.
In addition to the tail fin, a typical mortar shell also includes a fuse, a detonator, an explosive, a projectile body, a closed air ring, a basic medicine tube, an additional charge kit, a primer and other parts.
In fact, only the rear wing was made with some effort...... Song Ziqiang used to engage in grinding instead of milling, but in this world, he had to develop the technology of grinding instead of milling, so can the production speed come up? !
He was also reluctant to use the precision measuring tools he had brought with him, nor was he willing to invest in the tools, which he was going to use in the future for the finishing milling of the cylinder.
