Chapter 358: Secrecy
Things are ready, plus this plan in hand, it is difficult to get the promotion of this musket and artillery.
As long as you can continue to press down, you can rely on these things to make other things, such as some special ammunition and so on.
You must know that early artillery actually had many kinds of ammunition.
At sea, there are not only spherical bullets against ships, but also grapeshotball bullets against people, and chain balls against masts and sails.
Li Hang didn't know if these ammunition could be used on land, but he would know after trying this thing, after all, this was artillery, and the lethality effect of solid ammunition was very limited.
The same goes for bullets.
You must know that in the early days of the appearance of muskets, the spear of cold weapons and the musket of this hot weapon both coexisted.
This period lasted for hundreds of years. There is no way to replace these cold weapons quickly, so for a long time, it will not be possible to completely subvert the structure of the army.
There is no way to completely replace these cold weapons in such musket and artillery units, you must know that in the era when tanks have completely become steel cavalry in World War II, cavalry units are also very important, and they are doing tasks such as reconnaissance, espionage, and harassment.
But because of that. Li Hangcai was even more curious about what changes he could bring. I can make some changes happen in this ancient world.
With a small population, he really can't guarantee that these manpower will be able to meet his needs.
And in this day and age, I'm afraid to make some other things.
"I didn't think about showing this to His Majesty, this is used to persuade those courtiers, these things can all be used for public relations, and my idea is simple. Just let the courtiers see the benefits of this thing, the cost and everything are done here, who else will object? Li Hang smiled, this gunpowder weapon is actually very powerful, but once it really becomes like this.
What will become of them is something that only they know.
After Li Hang's plan was written, he picked up the thing in his hand, this thing is not a secret, the secret of muskets and artillery will be known sooner or later, but the secret of this kind of thing The crown prince knew it earlier, which was very active.
At this time, Li Hang looked at the crown prince curiously.
This shouldn't be a difficult task.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" The crown prince frowned.
Although he didn't know how powerful this dance was, it was obvious that this weapon was so powerful that Li Hang had to take it up at this time.
At this time, in a separate meeting, Ying Yun told him that this weapon has the ability to open mountains and crack rocks, and the current thin leather armor has almost no blocking ability, and no equipment can resist it.
But in this case, they have a lot more to do.
Once you really start purchasing things to make artillery, no one knows how much the loss of these Jinling Cities will increase, and there is still a very troublesome thing at this time.
These things require a lot of materials to make, and what happens once they are made?
This is the opportunity.
Will these businesses pass up this opportunity?
At this time, of course, you have to use it yourself.
"Li Shangzao, I'm curious, how can you make it impossible for them to stock up on the goods they need." How much does it cost to make these weapons?
Glancing at the contents, his expression changed slightly. "Why is there a cover-up fee in this?"
"If you want to make gunpowder, you must have extra things to cover, and the amount or something also needs to be covered, so in this case, you still have to blur the superfluous things, so that others can't know what is used, and they don't know what the ratio is, otherwise people who are a little more careful can find out the formula through this consumption."
Li Hang said very carefully. At this time, this is the case in my own workshop.
All the recipes for consumption are known only to a few people, and these people can almost guarantee absolute loyalty, and because of this, Li Hang is confident that he can still maintain secrecy in this environment. Even the Su family, who had mastered the transportation channels, would not be able to find out their own formula.
That's the good of antiquity.
If you have something to keep secret, no one will tell you about human rights.
At this time, all you need is a contract to get everything done.
The crown prince got it. At this time, Li Hangzhi proposed this in line with Yingyun's northern development plan.
When this northern development plan was proposed, they were dumbfounded.
If the Great Winning Dynasty wants to expand to the north, at least it must take down all the current northeast directions, not to mention, and it is also necessary to get rid of those families in their hands at this time.
In this way, a large area of black soil in the northeast can be included, and even the Korean Peninsula can be used as a springboard to directly enter the Japanese island.
Invade?
At this time, I am afraid that there is not a decent regime on the Korean Peninsula.
Not to mention beating them, even if you destroy them, there is no problem.
As for Japan.
As long as you can occupy that area, you will almost have high-quality iron ore and coal, and if you can go to Australia, there will be more iron ore in that place. Especially high-quality iron ore.
Li Hang's face was a little strange. "In fact, there is another characteristic of this matter, that is, when we want to do this thing, we need to have the help of a large number of personnel, and according to my assumption, in fact, these artillery and muskets are not in full form, at least the hit rate of its projectile is too low, which is a hard injury, so as long as there is a chance, once we have completed the next step, we can improve the hit rate of the projectile, and it can be said that it is easy to fight the cavalry at that time, as long as there is no major problem in itself, it is not a problem to destroy the cavalry."
Although it is difficult to make the kind of gunpowder that is a regular bullet, I have an artifact in my hand.
Glycerin is in your own hands, and as long as you produce nitric acid, you can synthesize the most terrible things.
Nitroglycerin.
This kind of thing, which is the main ingredient of the emergency pill, is actually a high explosive, and it is easy to emit a lot of heat during the production process.
What does that mean?
Once the explosion of this kind of gunpowder really erupts, I am afraid that it will be very dangerous.
So it's even more difficult to make this kind of thing.
But anyway, I crossed the river by feeling the stones, so what if I got those bullets out of the ammunition division.
They don't have muskets anyway, do they?
You must know that during the American Civil War, the South began to use the old musket without rifling, and then was taught to be a man by the North's new rifled Mini bullet musket.
It's all about cross-generational significance. Even if someone else learns how to make a musket, they can't learn how to make rifling.
