Although it is said that you have to go into battle on your own. But there's still a lot to do. For example, this steam engine.

Such steam engines can change the world, and they can also improve weapons at times like these, but most importantly, they have the meaning of their existence. After the advent of the steam engine, the dependence of hydraulic hammers on water will be completely eliminated. And the appearance of this kind of thing has a maximum significance. This steam engine makes all the output controllable.

What is this concept?

Very simple. The efficiency of the hydraulic forging hammer depends on the flow rate of the water. None of the others are certain enough. If it's a steam engine. It's almost controllable. The pressure and output of the boiler can be monitored, which means that the forging efficiency will be improved in the future, not to mention, even the accuracy can be improved.

If you're really prepared, you can even get something you couldn't do before.

This steam engine was already being made before he left, and is almost ready now.

The craftsman in charge of the production looked at Li Hang curiously with the drawings. "What is this pressure gauge for?"

The craftsmen were curious that the spring pressure gauge was quite useful, but they didn't know how to do it now.

But now that they saw this spring pressure gauge, they instinctively made one.

It's rough, but it's better than a black eye.

Li Hang looked at the manometer.

"This thing is a pressure gauge, which is mainly used to measure the output of this steam engine, that is to say, as long as this pointer does not change too much, then the output of this steam engine is constant, that is to say, in a constant situation, the speed of the flywheel driven by this steam engine is the same, so what does this mean? This means that the hammer velocity force driven by the flywheel is the same, which means that they can move at a constant speed, so that not only can the hammer be driven, but there are many other things that can be used, such as looms and so on, so what do you think? ”

When the manpower is exhausted, but the power of this machine is infinite, they will tirelessly do crazy work without stopping, so driven by this, it will rotate wildly, so no matter what kind of machine can be adjusted and adapted.

If done well, it can even be made into various machines.

Li Hang was very excited, because this most rough steam engine had already been made, which meant that the rifling could be engraved, what did it mean?

Later muskets could be used to craft Mini rounds, and the power of these steam engines could also be used to craft other things.

For example, stamping some steel plates.

This is better than a hydraulic hammer.

In the future, with this thing, craftsmen can even work in three shifts. In the future, the output can be increased.

As long as you can use this steam engine, then everything is easy to say.

"Are the other supporting things done? Is the lathe ready? ”

To turn those riflings, you need to have a lathe, but also a knife.

This is still very easy to do, without that kind of electricity and motor as power, this kind of thing is also okay as power.

The craftsman nodded and looked at Li Hang with excitement. "We made this thing, but we really don't know how to use it, and this steam engine is a bit big, and we have changed this boiler a lot, if it's too small, we can't carry these flywheels!"

"Of course, that's for sure!"

In the early days of the steam engine, it mainly relied on these water vapors to do work, of course, it was a large boiler.

What's more, the utilization rate of this combustion is very low.

Low is low, but this kind of thing is still useful.

As for the energy consumption of this thing, this is not within Li Hang's consideration at all.

"What about energy consumption, how much fuel does this steam engine consume in a day?"

This point needs to be counted, although it is convenient to say that this steam engine is at the water's edge, but the fuel consumption, this still needs to be calculated, after all, this requires a lot of coal!

If the demand is really too great, then even if it has to be relocated.

"The amount of coal consumed is fine, but what's the use of this knife?"

What's the use?

There is no doubt that this kind of thing is used to adjust the musket, and this adjustment can make the hit rate of the musket higher, and it is no longer the kind of hit by faith.

What's the use of that?

What is the use of the gentleman standing for the musket?

Compared to melee combat, the stake gentlemen's counter is undoubtedly more lethal, and it also has a very obvious effect, that is, against the opponent's ranged troops.

The riflemen themselves are a long-range unit, and they actually have an advantage in fighting against any class, so why is there a situation where they stand on the stake and masturbate?

It's very simple, whoever in that era was the first to collapse the formation, who had to endure the pursuit of thousands of miles of cavalry.

The role of modern cavalry is to cooperate with its own guns and artillery to reasonably suppress the enemy.

In the event of a collapse on the frontal battlefield, these cavalry will become the last grass that crushes the camel.

These cavalrymen will crush these guys with the strongest oppressive force.

As for this knife, it is to turn them from standing on the stake to turning them into an artifact weapon for squatting and obscene, and it can greatly improve the accuracy.

If the previous musket was a little erratic or even missed people at a distance of 80 meters, then this kind of mini bullet with a rifled musket can achieve a hit rate of more than 60 percent at a distance of 80 meters.

And it's also the probability of hitting a heart.

What is this concept?

This means that one shot kills a person!

"Install these and experiment with a batch of guns and let them rifle!"

What rifling does, Li Hang knows better than them.

But to unveel or only they do.

This requires them to gain some experience.

"That's no problem, if you go to rifling according to what you said, we've done some experiments, and now we've made some samples." They only have the permission to manufacture, and the permission to experiment is all on Zhao Feilong's side.

Li Hang frowned and took the time to find Zhao Feilong.

Looking at the muskets that had been set aside, he immediately spotted the rifled number, and picked it up and found the range.

After three consecutive shots, Li Hang discovered the problem.

This new rifled weapon is more powerful than those unrifled weapons, but it can't withstand their previous man-hours! And the problem of the loading of such mini shells is a big problem.

If you want to stuff the Mini bullet exactly like this, it will take a long time to load it. "It's no wonder that in those American wars, there was always someone in the back who was responsible for reloading. I see! ”
