In ancient times, the price of iron was not cheap, and steel was treated as a treasure.

And the hundred steel is used to build, the heirloom sword, the sword, the armor of the necessary materials. Look at Yang Zhi's treasure knife worth about 3,000 yuan, about one million yuan in later generations, and you will understand that it is worth a lot of money!

And the hundred refined steel that Zhu Zilong took out now is a higher level than the material of Yang Zhi's knife. How can Liu Gangshan and others not be shocked?

What's even more shocking is that Zhu Zilong doesn't use these top-grade steels to make "heirlooms", but he wants to use them to create non-mainstream firearms. It's hard to understand!

In the hearts of the people, this is like making copper coins out of gold and using them as pennies. The title of super loser is well deserved!

In the face of everyone's incomprehension, Zhu Zilong just calmly took out his improved three-eyed gun drawings of the Ming Dynasty to Li Gangshan and others.

"Let's build this 100 first, and the three in one! Reasonable normal consumption of leftovers, depending on the situation can be rewarded private! ”

Stab!

Everyone gasped, Nima is enough to build a firearm with a hundred refined steel, and it is a three-in-one, wasting three times as many materials?

It's just going against the sky!

Liu Gangshan took a few deep breaths, took the drawings and began to look at them carefully.

The three-eyed gun is a product of the Ming Dynasty, a short firearm in ancient China, made of iron or crude steel. It is shaped as a combination of three bamboo-shaped single guns, and each tube has a small hole on the outside.

When used, gunpowder is added to the gunpowder pipe, and finally filled with steel balls or cast iron blocks, crushed iron sand, etc., and the three gunned pipes can be fired in turns. The three-eyed gun was common in the Ming Dynasty, but the people of the Song Dynasty saw it for the first time, and for a time, many people were fascinated by it.

"Lord Wang, the range of this thing is still short, it can't compare to the bow and crossbow, and the attack speed and sub-medicine are more, but the reloading speed is too slow. It's a mixed bag! "Liu Gangshan is a master in the end, in a word.

Zhu Zilong nodded, the three-eyed milling is known as the three-plate axe firearm, which means that after firing three or four times at the same time, you can use it as a hammer to fight the enemy at close range.

Therefore, the three-eyed gun did not have much development prospect in the Ming Dynasty, so it was slowly not taken seriously!

In addition, limited by the purity of gunpowder, it will only have considerable power and sufficient shooting accuracy at a distance of thirty or forty paces.

The step of the Ming Dynasty was about a little more than a meter, that is, its best firing and killing distance was between 30-50 meters.

The American entertainment YY program "Deadly Samurai" has a measured evaluation of the Three-Eyed Gun weapon (for reference only, don't take it seriously) that the Three-Eyed Gun can shoot accurately at a distance of 25 yards (22.785 meters) when stepping down. And be able to penetrate the knight's chain mail!

However, the stakes are still too high!

The human 100-meter sprint only takes more than ten seconds, and the strong or athlete can run it in 10 seconds. If it is the Liao, Jin, and Mongol sprints on horseback, the time can be shortened by about half.

In other words, you will gradually show your power at about 30-40 meters, and it is estimated that people will teach you how to be a person every second.

Fortunately, the material used by Zhu Zilong is not pig iron, but seamless steel pipes, and there are rifling inside. Improvements have also been made!

If there is rifling, ask if you are afraid?

Bird guns made of rifled seamless steel pipes, plus improved black powder proportions, etc. Zhu Zilong thinks that it is not as good as a real modern rifle, but it is stronger than the current one in the Song Dynasty, and it is always much stronger in power and range.

(Note: the presence of rifling allows the bullet to rotate in the barrel, improving the stability of the bullet's flight, shooting accuracy, hitting and distance significantly.)

In the past, historically, smoothbore gun shooting could only ensure a shooting accuracy of 100 meters, and if you exceed this distance, you will not be able to hit, while modern sniper rifles can ensure an accuracy of 500-700 meters, because of the rifling technology. At the same time, this technology has also been widely used in the field of artillery in later generations! )

……

In the era of cold weapons, Zhu Zilong decided to abandon bows and arrows and choose firearms instead, not because bows and arrows were not sharp enough.

It's because qualified archers are too difficult to train, and it's hard to see results in a few years, and Zhu Zilong doesn't have such time to waste. It's still cool to line up and shoot!

Of course, it's not that arrows and crossbows are outdated. In the right hands, the power is also enormous.

For example, what did Genghis Khan's Mongol cavalry rely on to conquer most of the world's countries?

In the era of cold weapons, before the advent of high-quality firearms, bows and arrows were undoubtedly the most terrifying lethal long-range weapons.

Zhu Zilong vaguely remembered in his mind that in later generations, modern scientists later copied computer screens and obtained data.

The maximum speed of the medieval English longbow was 126 ft/s, which is about 38 m/s (equivalent to a Category 6 typhoon). Qing bow, the maximum arrow speed of the Yuan Dynasty bow: 144 ft/s, 43.9 m/s.

Both bows and arrows can easily shoot through the chain mail and armor of the infantry within the firing range, especially the Chinese bow and crossbow, which has greater penetration, and the armor penetrates on both sides!

Therefore, as long as the training is excellent and the archers are outstanding, their power is not a few points weaker than modern guns, and even better than guns under special conditions!

It's just that it's still the same old saying.

Cultivating a qualified archer is too long and costly. It's far less than giving you a firearm, and then as long as you don't find a fool to be a soldier, after more than ten days of intensive training, you can barely go to the battlefield!

……

"Lord Wang...... Do you really want to make firearms out of this steel? Li Gangshan couldn't help but ask again one last time.

It is no wonder that Li Cannon and others will lose their temper, steel is based on iron as the main element, and the carbon content is generally less than 2%. The emergence of pig iron and steel-making technology has continuously improved the shape and performance of iron weapons, which has greatly improved the combat capability of the army.

Since the Warring States Period, it has replaced bronze weapons and become the "weapon of the country" on the battlefield.

However, until now, the technology that appeared earlier in China from ancient times to the Song Dynasty was still mainly steel frying, and the improvement was limited.

Therefore, Zhu Zilong can also understand everyone's worries. After all, compared with modern steel, the gap between fried steel is not one or two points, but many points.

If he is an ancient person in the Song Dynasty, he must be reluctant, think twice, think twice, think again......

It can be said that Zhu Zilong is now handing over Liu Gangshan's seamless steel pipe sample, sorry. In the entire Great Song Dynasty, I can't find a few except here!

The precious swords of ancient heroes do not leave their bodies, a knife is often worth hundreds of thousands, and even priceless, and the knife does not leave the body, in the end, they are afraid of losing it!

That's it, Zhu Zilong is a traverser.

The hundred refined steel, which was more important than life for the ancients, was drawn from the main god system, and the cost was infinitely close to 0.

Therefore, the loser can get up and pretend to be 13!

At that moment, Zhu Zilong said to Li Gangshan and the others: "Li Jiangtou, from today onwards, I will assign you a special room to build firearms. The monthly food wage is ten times that of you, and I will give you a certain additional reward for every good musket and bird gun you make out of such steel. ”

"However, if you deliberately fail to meet the requirements, and unintentionally produce a large number of defective products, you will have to deduct your corresponding monthly rations to replenish the material loss. There are additional penalties to be imposed! ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and look at each other.

This condition is not too strict, after all, the material is expensive. Liu Gangshan even thought to himself that people are willing to use stainless steel to build firearms, what are they still coquettish about?

So, he was the first to stand up, gritted his teeth and replied: "Just according to the words of the prince!" ”
