Chapter 309: Hot Air Balloons and Modern Fireworks, It's a Perfect Match!
Hydrogen, equipment, supplies, medicines, hot air balloons are all in place.
Now there is a big car of fireworks and fireworks with a bold model of fireworks and a monkey drill monkey, and they can also be customized.
In the face of big business and long-term business, Xiao He's friend is very thoughtful. Not only can Zhu Zilong decide the explosion style, but also said that the rocket fireworks can rise up to 650-800 meters.
If you make a self-made scaffold and perform an oblique shè at a 45-degree angle, the farthest shè is estimated to be more than two or three kilometers!
And if the explosion power is set to the maximum, it is enough to blow the thickest ship board into sawdust in the Ming Dynasty!
Silently thinking about the attack distance and firing speed of the general cannon, for a while, Zhu Zilong burst into tears. TM's, in terms of practicality, the general cannon of the Ming Dynasty may not even be as good as the fireworks of the modern 21st century, what a pit daddy!
And those fireworks bombs are more time-saving and labor-saving, light and easy to use, and can be imitated and refined in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
The small one usually has the volume of two fists, and the large one weighs dozens of pounds and is the size of a bucket. If that thing doesn't die when it hits a person, the target must be to open the protagonist's aura...... Embarrassment!
Moreover, these things are light to death. It is completely possible for the soldiers to carry each other over the mountains and mountains, and also bring those who can run forward!
In addition, the price of fireworks is also cheaper than genuine arms and their own imitation of metal feng shui cannons, and it is easier to purchase in large quantities. At the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo, a full 100,000 fireworks were released at once. As long as there is money, in the modern 21st century, there is as much as you want!
In the Ming Dynasty, it could also be imitated after the gunpowder was purified.
When there was no one in the middle of the night, Zhu Zilong was still struggling to check information on the Internet.
He came up with a new idea, just a small operation, can make all kinds of fireworks on the existing basis, multiply.
For example, before the start of the war, several circles of wire were wrapped around the warheads of the fireworks of the "Drill Monkey" rocket. Then sharpen the wire with a file every other section to the point that it is about to break!
In this way, when the fireworks of the "Drill Monkey" rocket explode, these wires can be deeply rooted in the enemy's body. And fragmentation grenades are a principle!
You can even mix aluminum strips or aluminum powder into it, because lead and aluminum are highly toxic, embedded in the body, and there is no time to take them out, so it is almost appropriate to die of lead poisoning.
Even if iron and aluminum are not left in the body, the poor sanitary conditions on the battlefield are likely to cause infection and inflammation of the wound. And this probability is definitely much higher than that of ordinary injuries!
The second major flaw of the "Drill Monkey" rocket fireworks is the slight instability of the trajectory. This is almost a common problem of all rocket weapons before the emergence of modern missiles, and it is also an important reason why rockets were finally eliminated by artillery in the early days of weapon development.
This small problem can also be solved, and it can be replaced by a modern tube with a hall line in the iron barrel that loads and launches them.
Anyway, the attack range is farther than the arrow, so you can fire with confidence.
In case, the opponent who crashes also uses a powder gun. Unless he was also made of modern steel pipes, otherwise, because there was no rifling, the barrel was also hammered out by hand, and the soldiers needed to prepare and fill the shè medicine themselves, and it was all up to experience.
Inexperienced rookies often have too little gunpowder to shoot far, or too much gunpowder to blow up. It's worse than the fireworks!
Someone once did some research and statistics, in the early 16th century, arquebuses and XX guns, the average combat distance of pistols was only ten meters, and the rifle could hit about forty or fifty meters.
As long as he is not a modern seamless rifled steel pipe used by Zhu Zilong, with a theoretical range of more than 100 meters, the bullet can indeed fly so far, but no one knows where it will fly...... I'm afraid of a bird!
It's hard to say whether the other side can play our queue and shoot it, even if it makes a mistake for a while, the other party can do it.
Can we light a fire on the ground and set off rockets and fireworks?
Before I knew it, more than six days had passed since I was able to stay in the modern 21st century.
Zhu Zilong was going to go to India immediately.
However, now he has taken another two days or so, and under the guidance of Xiao He, he began to practice hot air balloon driving in the suburbs of Nanjing.
In just one day, with all kinds of physical fitness and reflection ability, as well as unforgettable, Zhu Zilong learned a basic qualification. You can fly a hot air balloon solo into the sky!
When the next day, he asked Xiao He to put some empty gasoline barrels on the ground and some small hills.
Zhu Zilong floated in mid-air, using modern domestic rocket fireworks on a hot air balloon, lighting it, and firing at those empty gasoline barrels on the ground.
Boom, boom, boom, boom kept ringing.
The effect of the test was very remarkable, the empty gasoline barrel was blown up in all directions, and the iron pieces became small shrapnel and attacked in all directions.
Even if it is some bricks and stones, a few shots, as long as they explode near the same place, they have the power of the smallest Franc cannon in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zilong suddenly felt a little secretly happy in his heart.
Why?
Because of the medium-sized hot air balloon, only a few people can stand on it. The large ones can only stand a dozen people!
You can't put artillery on it, you don't need to talk about the general's cannon, it's impossible to put a few thousand kilograms on it. The Napoleon Junior might be able to put it up, but the recoil when firing is too great, and the picture is simply unbearable to look at it at that time.
Maybe it's possible that the hot air balloon fell from the sky, and at that time he didn't become the captain of the transport brigade, and the artillery was given to the enemy for free?
I also died a dozen people in vain, not counting!
What, you say that in the sky, the bureau is condescending, firing at the enemy with a powder gun?
Hehe, the idea is good.
But sharpshooters are difficult to cultivate, and unless it is a 100% modern gun, this Zhu Zilong is not at ease with the Ming Dynasty people for the time being.
And the gunpowder gun made by the Ming Dynasty itself with modern steel pipes is stronger than any other force. But it's not a strong pervert either!
At most, the hit rate of more than one or two hundred meters away, for ordinary people, they have to aim for a long time, which is the limit.
In other words, if you want to hit the enemy with a powder gun, you have to float within 200 meters of the enemy's head in a hot air balloon. This distance is really unsafely tight, and it is barely within the attack distance of the arrow!
If the enemy fires a thousand arrows, does the devil know if you die, or if he dies?
Modern rocket fireworks made with power are different, hand-held and ignited, and the attack distance is also 400-600 meters. At this distance, with the firepower of the Ming Dynasty space-time enemy, there is no long-range weapon that can attack the side in the sky.
It's useless for the other side to have cannons, can you hit targets in the sky with ancient cannons? Do you think you're a god? After more than 100 years, the industrial revolution appeared, and the anti-aircraft cannon was built.
In addition, rocket fireworks have no recoil, are small in size and do not take up space, so they can be put on dozens or even hundreds of balloons.
If one can't hit, dozens can always hit, right?
And after the rocket fireworks, the person on the hot air balloon can also become a copycat reconnaissance aircraft, replacing the giant eagle brother in the sky to reconnoiter the enemy.
Dual-purpose, both attack and reconnaissance, big praise!
Hot air balloons and modern fireworks are a perfect match! The Ming Dynasty copycat air force is not a dream! -
