Chapter 361: The Divine Sky Rises, and the Thunder is Imminent
"Father-in-law, uncles, please get up, this is just a small try."
Li Xi smiled and beckoned everyone to get up.
"You always regard those scholars as another kind of people, in fact, you and them are the same, isn't it obvious that you bowed down just now!?"
His tone was deep.
"Everyone is a spirit of heaven, and they are all born and raised by their parents, why is there a distinction between high and low? However, it is also determined by God, and everyone has his own position, and he must perform his own courtesy. The king sends the world to the world, and the courtiers assist the king, and all the people benefit and comfort each other, just as parents raise children, husbands and wives respect each other, and brothers go on blind dates......"
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, from the Donglin Party to the Yellow King, they were already mentioning why the country should have a king, but that was just an exploration of theory, not a realistic theory. At this time, if you want to mention to him why there should be a king in the country, it is really an evil demon. Although Li Xian mentioned that "everyone is one", he was not talking about the fact that people should have no dignity or cheapness in reality, but the essence of being born equal. 【1】
"But ......"
Li Shi changed his words.
"Monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, three outlines and five constants, can they reach all things in the world? The way to determine all things? ”
He shook his head and asked himself.
"I don't think it's okay, you have to pay for soy sauce on the street, instead of looking for a family tree to see if everyone is a relative, and then calculate the discount according to the intimacy."
This "digression" made Guan Tian and the others confused, and Li Shi finally got back to the point.
"Those who are reading are fighting and making trouble, just like you, they all extend the principles of bloodline patriarchy to the politics of a country, and ask yourself, how different are you from them? I think the difference is that you only know what it is, but you don't know why it is. ”
Then he sighed and said, "There is more to everyone than this. One people in the world, one hole in the world, only one voice in the country, only one way in government, what everyone wants to occupy, isn't this one? ”
Li Shi's words lingered into the hearts of everyone: "Wrapped in three outlines and five constants, one of them is stationed inside, both inside and outside, either I am the enemy, the enemy, naturally there is only one word, kill!" ”
Everyone looked serious, but their eyelids rolled and they were extremely confused. Tian Dayou is a deep person, and when he heard Li Shi's words at this moment, he also felt that he was in the clouds, or a frog in the water, and he didn't understand...... Li Xi smiled again: "I don't understand, do you?" This movement is to explain this truth to the medicine, so that you, them, and everyone under Yinghua can prick up their ears and listen carefully. But I, Li Shi, definitely want to take care of your old uncles, so I'll tell you a little bit about it first, this truth is ......"
Facing his old partner, Li Xi finally said the goal of this people's hearts battle, or the bottom line.
"Confucianism returns to Confucianism, and the law returns to the law, each in its place. Yinghua is inclusive, no one wants to occupy that one, what really wants to get one is the avenue that I inherited and was Lord of God. ”
After being silent for a long time, Tian Dayu couldn't help but ask: "What is this God's Avenue?" ”
Li Shi changed the subject: "This question has someone to answer, you just wait." And the subjects you are working on are also on the Path of God. ”
At the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau, Li Xi has inspected a number of important military tasks, including the second-generation flintlock pistol, which has not yet been finalized, the new flintlock pistol will use steel as the barrel, the manufacturing process of the machine parts has also been greatly improved, the gun will be lighter and more reliable, the maintenance work such as parts replacement will be simpler, and the labor time will be lower, so the cost will be lower.
Another product will also be released, that is, a new generation of infantry armor, relying on the newly developed hydraulic linkage forging machine, the new helmet cuirass will be a stamping product, combined with the new quenching process of Foshan Iron and Steel, enough to withstand the shooting of Qing soldiers and bows and arrows twenty steps away.
Another new product that came out of the house was the bayonet, Li Xi has always been obsessed with the sharp iron rod and spear, not that it is not powerful enough, but that the use is too simple, and many soldiers have paid out of their own pockets to buy secondary weapons such as short knives, in order to deal with hand-to-hand combat in complex environments. Therefore, Li Shi also included the new generation of bayonets in this year's military industry research topics, and in the future, the British and Chinese troops will finally be able to sing the bayonet song justifiably.
Other bits and pieces such as infantry equipment, standard dry food, backpacks, binoculars, artillery observation scopes, etc., are not in the hands of the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau, but are taken over by various workshops, and even the Yingci Institute has undertaken the research and development of battlefield first-aid kits.
Li Shi came to the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau, focusing on the progress of the gunpowder and artillery sub-bureaus.
The Gunpowder Branch of the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau has two major tasks, one is to enhance the power of black powder, and the craftsmen have made efforts from the formula, particle density and even the medicine column and medicine cake at the same time, and now there has been considerable progress in the gunpowder. The other, even more critical, is the study of primers.
In a certain way, Li Xi is a shame of a traverser, in his previous life, as a liberal arts student, physics probably still has a fragment of knowledge learned in high school, and chemistry is completely forgotten, giving him a molecular formula of chemical reaction, he is definitely like reading a book from heaven. It's just that thanks to the fact that I often read YY novels, I can barely remember that the basis of the chemical industry is three acids and two alkalis, and one of the key technologies that advanced the war from modern times to modern times is the thunder mercury primer.
What the hell is going on with this thing, Li Xi has read it countless times in the novel, and almost all of them have forgotten it, and when he explained this thing to the master of the Gunpowder Bureau, he could only describe it as "it explodes when it hits", and the most important thing in the ingredient, nitric acid, he can't say clearly anyway.
Originally, Li Xian thought that he could only find a foreigner to solve this matter, so he had already explained to Nanyang Company and hired foreigners who knew chemistry, but he didn't want Yiming to make a contribution. He grabbed a group of Taoist priests from a rural Taoist temple in the middle of nowhere, and presented some strange pills, which were the secret things of their "altar practice". Throwing it to the ground, there was a snort, and the smoke was filled, which was so strange that Li Xian couldn't help but think of the assassin ninja's escape technique...... The Taoist priests demonstrated in front of Li Shi, and in addition to the sulfur smell of smoke, Li Shi also smelled an extremely strong smell of realgar. I vaguely remember that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army also engaged in realgar gunpowder, but it seemed to cooperate with potassium chlorate, and the preparation of potassium chlorate was also a big problem...... What kind of chemical composition these pills were, Li Shi didn't have the ability to analyze them, so he had to let these Taoist priests transfer to the Gunpowder Bureau researchers, and try this suspenseful local primer road before finding a foreign chemist. Although the effect of the current research of the primer meets the requirements, the reliable surname is still too poor, and it seems that long-term research is needed.
Primer fire is an epoch-making technology, and Li Shi did not expect to achieve anything now, he was more concerned about the new flying cannon, which was not a simple artillery, and it was also thanks to Li Shi's subject research system.
Three sealed iron pipes form a ring of gun carriages, wrapping the thick and short gun bodies in it, which is one of the hitchhiking topics: the hydraulic gun carriage.
Li Shi mentioned this thing casually a long time ago, and the Guangdong gunsmith said at the time that the trance was similar to the fierce fire oil tank on the warship. In fact, the two are not the same, the fierce fire oil tank relies on the siphon principle, pulling the lever back and forth, and the fire oil continues to spray out. But from a different perspective, if the oil is not sprayed out, won't the lever have to be pushed?
Li Xi admired the associations of the craftsmen very much, and he did not need to explain in detail, relying on the mature mechanism of the fierce fire oil tank, the craftsmen drew inferences from one another, and quickly came up with the design, but they crashed into the problem of technology and material, the recoil of the gun was too large, and the sealing force transmission was very problematic.
Originally, this topic had been cold on the design drawings, but now the development of a new flying cannon has become an excellent test platform. The recoil of the flying cannon is not large, and the use of hydraulic retract gun carriage can promote the maturity of this technology and accumulate experience for other artillery in the future.
Another hitchhiker is the wedge gun latch, the previous flying cannon has adopted the breech design, but it is a simple gun body outer lock design, after all, the chamber pressure is low, and the outer lock can already cope. However, the new flying cannon is a battalion artillery, which requires a firing range of at least one mile, and the original breech design is difficult to use, so it must be replaced with a new scheme.
Using a wedge gun bolt and adding a brass cartridge, this is not Li Shi's teaching, but the craftsman deduced it from the principle of the Franc machine gun, and the idea of the screw gun bolt is also there, but the current process is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the thread, after all, the steel processing technology has just started in Yinghua.
There are several artillery fields in the Foshan Manufacturing Bureau, and the test firing of the new flying cannon was carried out at the Linhai artillery field, and a calm bay was circled by various colored benchmarks with a large fan, and the straight arc lines were spread out layer by layer.
"Regular shooting!"
Li Xian did not look at the shells, but looked at the cannon body, and saw a layer of smoke and dust rising from the ground, and the two [***] flying cannons did not move back, and the thick cannon body on the gun carriage sank backwards, and quickly reset forward.
"Half a mile and thirty zhang, and the error is twenty zhang!"
Looking at the water column in front of him, he quickly reported the data, and now the Yinghua degree system is determined to be one zhang and ten feet, and one foot is about 33.3 centimeters, and in military terms, a "mile" is three hundred zhang.
"The brake is intact, and you can continue shooting!"
The inspector also made a report that at present, the system and the withdrawal frame are only test products, and every shot must be carefully inspected.
"Shoot quickly!"
Li Xi was present, and the commander mustered up the courage and ordered to enter the next stage of the test, which is a test of complete actual combat level, and the system will no longer be tested and withdrawn.
Ten rounds of rapid shooting, the rate of fire almost reached two rounds a minute, Li Xi was very satisfied, this new flying cannon has no technical problems, the next problem is to reduce the cost and man-hours, so that it can be manufactured in batches.
"Heavenly King, this is a finalized test firing, and now it has been a complete success, the Heavenly King should name this new cannon."
Tian Dayou asked, Guan Fengsheng and the others also looked at Li Shi eagerly, and their names were settled, and their results were certain.
Thinking about the current situation in Yinghua, Li Xianxin said that there is really a cannon waiting to roar next.
"When this cannon passes, it is like a thunderbolt in the sky, and the enemy will definitely be terrified, so it will be called...... Divine cannon! ”
Li Shi's naming skills are as bad as ever, but this is a gift from the king, and no one dares to say that it is too vulgar.
