Now we have a general understanding of the situation here.

That's what is missing at this time.

As long as there are enough steam engines at this hungry time, it is easy to say anything, and now if you want to improve the level of gunpowder, you can only make nitroglycerin, but if you want to make this unstable nitroglycerin, you need to maintain a good environment for a long time, and this environment needs to be low.

That is to say, while ensuring the production of nitroglycerin, it is not easy to use saltpeter to keep the surrounding temperature, and this kind of nitroglycerin is not very stable, unless it can make a more stable black soguin, and black sokin needs more troublesome things urotropine, which needs formaldehyde and calcium chloride and ammonia.

These are all more troublesome things, you can definitely get your hands on it, but it is difficult to prepare it on a large scale, and it is okay to prepare small gunpowder in this way, but it is troublesome to prepare a large number of gunpowder, and now at most it is to use these things to make some gunpowder, and then use these gunpowder as a propellant.

As long as you can make propellants, you can use these propellants to improve this bullet, and at this time, if you can make a small amount of rear-loading ammunition, and you can make some bullets with integrated ammunition, you can rely on this bullet to make better things, such as rifles at this time!

As long as the ammunition can be integrated, those famous rifles can be made, and such weapons will be powerful, and this weapon is enough to change the war.

If the separate loading of this elixir is a temptation, then at this time, a powerful effect can be made with the bullet that is integrated with this ammunition.

Because this bullet has an effect, that is, to reduce the reload time, now even the most skilled ones have to take three seconds, and the scrambling ones are afraid that it is eight seconds, and they can be controlled at about five seconds after training, but what about the guns with fixed ammunition, everyone who eats chickens knows 98gay. This weapon, finalized in 1898, was the prototype that laid the foundation for almost all firearms in later generations, and this weapon was a watershed moment in history.

After seeing the small amount of black gold gunpowder that had been made, Li Hang carefully put it into the cartridge case, and then put the warhead in the ice and clamped it tightly. So that one fixed ammunition is ready. It's a tedious process, but it's definitely worth it, as this firearm is more powerful than this one, but with a big accuracy advantage.

It's just that the body of this weapon with rear-loading ammunition is not so easy to make. Springs, machines, and all kinds of things have to be used, and after all these things are used, a prototype can barely come out. The strength of the first trial type is not up to standard.

The third shot exploded.

Several times, with drawings and production methods, they may not be able to produce qualified products.

At this time, it is difficult to improve the process. Li Hang is very clear. At this time, he relied on his own strength to raise one part and two parts, so as to forcibly make this firearm. Until there is no improvement in other aspects, and until other masters can keep up, this is the only way.

Now all I have to do is make this weapon and ammunition. Even if it's just an experimental model.

In this way, this experimental model can be passed on. After the process improvement, it will definitely be possible to continue to mass produce it. As for whether this firearm will bring harm or something, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is just a weapon, and the final result depends on the person who uses it.

This is not only about the use of this gunpowder, but also about a lot of needs

It was built for more than two or three months, and every day Li Hang went home to eat and sleep with his wife, and the rest of the time he was here to guide the craftsmen and watch the finished products they made. But in the end, I was still a little depressed, even if I caught it like this, the number of safe shots of these 98k could only reach a hundred. Compared to those black powder weapons, the number of safe shots is more than 500 times, and the manufacture of ammunition for such weapons is too difficult. The cost of making a black Suojin fixed load bullet can produce nearly a few hundred catties of black powder. Under this difference, people have to make a choice.

Although there are many benefits of black gold gunpowder, for the time being, it can only be used as a sniper rifle for future generations. And it's also a sniper rifle without an octagnage scope.

Although the research here is not very smooth, the improvement process on the other side has made great progress.

Battleship after refit. A fully loaded chisel experiment was done at the dock. At this time, digging a large hole is fatal for the average ship. But the ship was carried down. The fully laden ship was attacked and a large hole was dug in the bottom of the ship. This seems to the messenger who came here to accept the situation that must be sunk. But the ship survived. It's just a little incredible! But what surprised him even more was the ship's firepower and protection.

Not to mention the fireproof treatment where the shells were transported and stored, even the entire surface of the ship was covered with a layer of iron sheets. Although it is not very good-looking, this hideous feeling makes them a little mentally explosive. This Nima is really terrible, this kind of ship is not easy to sink, the protection is good, the key is that this firepower is simply fierce to death. There were more than a hundred muskets standing in critical condition, and there were two guns on the deck and eight guns on one side, which was enough to sweep away all the sailors of this era.

What the? Why not the Navy, you say? Because in this era, human beings are not yet capable of going to the ocean! So now this is the first challenge, to know what is the difference between the navy and the navy, this is not a sentence that can be said clearly. The biggest difference is the height of the waves, rivers and lakes are stormy waves at most half a meter, but what about this ocean? Two or three meters is a common thing. I'm afraid that there are more than ten or twenty meters of. How can it be compared, let alone things like compasses and sextants. Because you can often see land in the river, to put it mildly, you can ask if you get lost, but what about the sea? The compass, the sextant, and the stars are your good companions, and the most terrible thing is not these, but even more terrible are those psychological problems, and you can't see the land for a long time. It's still fresh for a while and a half, but what if this time is extended to ten days, half a month, or even a month or two months? It's not for nothing that sailors like to fight and drink, fighting relieves stress, and as for drinking, it's because wine can last longer than fresh water alone, and to ensure that you can drink fresh water for a long time at sea, you need to store a lot of wine. Drinking and bragging to relieve stress is something that the sailors on land can't experience.

They don't even think about what they need to carry in large quantities at this time, because the navy can be resupplied at any time. And the Navy is different. At least in the design of the ship will be very different.

And now this ship is the key to the Navy.
