: 6th Update. There is a second reason for late breakdown, so stay tuned! ，……

Deng Haonan has always dreamed of making backyard artillery. For him, an artillery specialist, there were no problems with the construction of breech guns. The only problem is that the quality and strength of the parts and components required to forge the breech gun are particularly high, which cannot be done with the current level of industrial forging.

This, of course, refers to large-scale industrial mass production. It can still be done, but the labor consumption and manufacturing cycle required to build a breech gun are long.

What Deng Haonan urgently needs is a forging workshop that can carry out forging with high strength, but he is still in the stage of finding the required manufacturing materials.

There was no way, Deng Haonan had to draw the drawings of the parts and components required for the breech gun, and then handed them over to the craftsmen in the arsenal to grind.

That's when the problem arises.

The craftsmen in the arsenal couldn't understand the drawings of the parts drawn by Na Haonan, there was no way, so Na Haonan had to give them a lesson first, in order to save time, Deng Haonan did not teach them to draw, but simply taught them to identify engineering drawings. As long as you can understand Deng Haonan's drawings, you can do it.

Of course, just teaching them to recognize the drawings also made Na Haonan's head several laps.

Therefore, when Deng Haonan taught them to recognize the drawings, he directly explained to them the parts of the breech gun, and described the role of each part through guò. This is a way to deepen the impression.

Fortunately, this method was accepted by them, and they were able to build the actual parts.

It's just that the parts they create can be combined together in the end? Non-compliant? It's hard to say!

The gun body part is composed of a barrel, a gun tail, a gun latch and a muzzle brake. The body tube is used to give the projectile muzzle velocity and direction of flight, and to rotate the projectile. Of course, at this time it was all a projectile of a smoothbore gun. Generally does not rotate. The tail of the cannon is used to hold the bolt. The bolt is used to lock the chamber, fire the shell, and draw out the fired cartridge. Most modern artillery uses semi-automatic bolts, and some use automatic bolts. However, these are unattainable dreams in the eyes of Fei Haonan. The muzzle brake is used to reduce the recoil energy of the gun. At the time of launch. The firing pin fitted in the bolt strikes the primer of the shell, igniting the propellant.

The firing pin is the most critical problem, and Na Haonan now has no materials to make the firing pin of later generations, so he applied the working principle of the French dog-lock winding musket to it, and modified the firing pin into the flint impact firing method of the Lianfeng pistol.

Of course, in this way, the structure of the firing pin part inside the bolt is completely changed. The actual final combined effect of the entire cannon latch is the ripple impact ignition method of the dog-lock musket that is magnified by a hundredfold. In other words, the Doglock Ripple Musket was enlarged into a cannon.

The impact ignition method is obviously much more advanced than the current arquebus ignition method, because it is not affected by windy weather and excessive air humidity. Especially at sea, windy weather is common, and wind, waves, and water vapor can easily extinguish the fire rope and ignite it, which is difficult and dangerous.

After having a bolt. Breech-loading guns still could not fire shells directly.

Because the shells at this time were not conjoined, the warhead and propellant were loaded separately. This leads to loading shells from the breech, which requires first loading the cannon and then the propellant. This is the same as the front-loading gun, and it is more time-consuming and difficult to operate.

Deng Haonan sighed. Knowing that you can't eat a fat person in one bite, you can only take your time and wait until the structure of the shell is improved.

However, Deng Haonan's breech cannon scraping will not stop.

After this method of directly loading shells and propellants in the breech did not work, Di Haonan immediately thought of another method.

The sub-parent structure of the Franc machine gun actually provided a very great inspiration to Na Haonan. The mother system of the Franc cannon is actually a cannon barrel, and the child is already loaded with shells and gunpowder on the outside. After placing the mother lens, it can be fired directly. In this way, in fact, the subsystem can be regarded as a conjoined shell, and the process of loading is the process of loading the shell. This is actually the predecessor of modern artillery, except that the Franc machine gun is loaded from the top of the parent system, and after that Haonan is improved, the subsystem is directly loaded from the open breech gun latch. After solving this problem, Deng Haonan's breech gun realized the direct loading of shells from the breech gun latch.

Of course, Deng Haonan still has to put the cannon barrel. That is to say, the mother dysprosium is improved, mainly because the subsystem is larger, and when the mother is directly sharpened, the gun chamber of the parent system needs to be thickened and enlarged in order to accommodate the loading of the subsystem.

In fact. When Deng Haonan's breech gun was built, it was a combination of modern breech gun technology in the Franc machine ten dog lock suspect pistol.

However, even this kind of combination of Di Haonan looks very rough and backward, in this era. It was also a landmark artillery revolution.

With the breech gun with the latch and the rip-fire firing, although it was still carried out as a shell, its firing time was reduced to two rounds a minute, and if it was operated by a skilled artilleryman, it could reach a rate of fire of four shells a minute at the earliest. And the British Royal Navy of this period, their excellent marksmen could only fire two rounds a minute with front-loading guns. Therefore, once Deng Haonan's arsenal can mass-produce this kind of artillery, it will bring unprecedented impact and threat to all countries in the world.

Of course, the prerequisite for this combined breech gun to achieve this effect must be the preparation of sub-locks, and the number of them is sufficient, since each sub-system is still a front-loading small gun. It takes about a minute

Deng Haonan set the number of sub-locks to ten. The configuration is the same as that of the Franc gun, but the power and rate of fire are much higher than that of the Franc gun. It is possible to guarantee the need for a quick blow within the first three minutes. And three minutes is actually enough time to change the outcome of the battle and the balance of the war.

Deng Haonan named this kind of artillery the five-year God of War Artillery of the Apocalypse, and the Western code name was the State God of War Artillery, because the modified artillery was the first artillery created by the Ming Dynasty, and the previous artillery was copied from the West. For example, the Franc machine of the Portuguese and the redcoat cannon of the Dutch. The manufacturing cost of the Ares artillery is relatively high, and two guns can be made into three Franc cannons of the same caliber.

The caliber of the Ares artillery is between watts and millimeters, the old diameter is about 1, the muzzle velocity is about 4 old meters, and the effective range is live ammunition yo rice corpse shotgun yo meter. The maximum range is a kilogram of live ammunition, and the old kilogram of shotgun. The rate of fire was 10,000 rounds, min, and the gun carriage weighed gills 0 kg.

During this period, there was great confusion about the definition of artillery, which was called a pound gun in France and a pound gun in England. In fact, countries are mainly divided according to the weight of the shells, but the shells of different materials are different in volume and spherical diameter. The weight was different, so this confusion lasted until the beginning of the XIX century, when it was defined by the diameter of the barrel of an artillery.

The Apocalypse Five-Year God of War artillery was first used on the warships of the Navy's Pacific Fleet, and the Marine Corps still used front-loading light artillery, but Deng Haonan thought that the four-wheeled gun carriage was not conducive to land warfare. Therefore, a two-wheeled gun carriage was designed, with two corner frames as support rods to counteract the recoil of the shelling, and at the same time it could be dragged by horses.

For the Spanish Mushkert arquebus used by the Marine Corps, Deng Haonan was unable to manufacture an advanced rear-loading musket with the current technology. Because just manufacturing bullets requires a complete set of advanced industrial equipment. Obviously, don't even think about it in this day and age.

Although it is not possible to make advanced rifles on their own. Even now it is not possible to imitate the Spanish Mushkert arquebus. However, Deng Haonan could improve on the basis of the Mushkert arquebus, changing the cumbersome arquebus firing method to a dog-lock short-haired musket.

To this end, Tang Haonan first sent people to the watchmaker's workshop in Macao to purchase a batch of bars and steel wheels, and then came back to renovate.

The principle is actually very simple, it is to fill the clockwork. When the trigger is pulled with a more appropriate elastic force, it is enough to cause a spark after the flint is struck, and then ignite the guide in the primer pot.

After making several improved Mushkert front-loading pistols, Deng Haonan experimented and was very satisfied.

At this time, the officers of the Marine Corps came up with some ideas while scraping.

One day, Major Lin Feng brought Lieutenant Xie Yi, Lieutenant Jiang Chunhui, Lieutenant Liao Jianjun, Lieutenant Liu Feng, Lieutenant Juqi and other personnel of the Wutang Officer Corps to ask Deng Haonan for advice.

They are all officers of the Marine Corps. Because the Marine Corps imported Spanish Mushkert arquebuses, as well as other Spanish Army standard weapons. Therefore, at that time, I also learned the combat tactics manual of the Spanish Army.

The Spanish Army used the tactics of a large phalanx, in which the spearmen were in the middle, the musketeers were around, and in the four corners of the large phalanx, there were four small phalanxes, all of which were musketeers.

This tactic was very practical, and the Spanish Army relied on it to conquer one empire after another, and maintained it until the mid-to-late eighteenth century.

It's just that the Spanish Army has spearmen in the center, but Na Haonan's Marines have no spearmen, and although the musketeers look majestic, the Marine officers found a problem when they were drilling.

If the enemy approaches quickly with cavalry, it will not be able to compete with them without spearmen in the phalanx. Meantime. When encountering a large corps of combat, once the hand-to-hand combat. The Marines do not have melee weapons, and if they do not suffer losses in a fight, they may cause the morale of the military to waver.

After Deng Haonan heard their report, he carefully examined the Spanish Muquette arquebus, and sure enough, he found that this arquebus did not have a bayonet.

The bayonet was very important as a melee weapon for infantry. In hand-to-hand combat, the bayonet is mounted on a rifle and can be used as a spear, and when disassembled, it can be used as a close defense weapon in combat.

Such an important weapon, how can it be?

Deng Haonan was greatly disappointed, but immediately came up with the idea of installing a bayonet on the musket.

The triangular bayonet is a very lethal bayonet weapon, and the later Sheng three-edged bayonet is regarded as the most poisonous bayonet in the world. It's just that the three-edged bayonet designed by Na Haonan is only similar in appearance, with three blood grooves, and the blood grooves are not only bloodletting, but more importantly, they are conducive to the next action. The triangular thorn is the blood that is discharged with the blood trough after the thorn enters the body. When the muscles contract, they cannot stick to the bayonet face and will not "suck" the bayonet, so that the spine can be calmly pulled out of the human body for the next action, if there is no blood trough, because of the blood pressure and muscle contraction violently, the thorn will be wrapped in the human body, so that it will be difficult to pull out the thorn, affecting the further movement of the soldier. It is believed that no soldier wants to waste time by drawing a bayonet.

The wound punctured by the three-edged spear is generally a square hole, and the sides of the wound cannot be squeezed against each other to achieve a certain hemostasis and healing effect, and this wound cannot be bandaged and stopped, that is, it is not good to do the initial emergency treatment. What is the point of a ruptured tendon or a broken blood vessel on the surface? Those who read and discussed "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" will have the impression that after piercing into the human body, the blood trough quickly introduces air. The air forms a large amount of foam in the body, blocking the blood vessels. Simply stab the right part of the body to kill the opponent instantly, and the thorn can be pulled out effortlessly in the body cavity that eliminates negative pressure.

The only difference is that the three-edged bayonet imitated by Deng Haonan has not been phosphated, that is, it has not been quenched.

But this was enough, and after the first triangular bayonet was built, the officers and men of the Marine Corps were quite satisfied after testing it on cattle and sheep. The officers and men of the Marine Corps were very happy and confident that they were about to receive this kind of melee equipment. I'm not afraid to fight the enemy at close range.

In this way, the Spanish Mushkert arquebus was improved by Na Haonan and became the five-year pre-loading ripple musket of the Apocalypse, which became the standard musket of the Marine Corps of the Pacific Fleet.

Although the musket has been improved, the musket can fire normally without worrying about strong winds and wet weather, which has enhanced the weather adaptability of the Marine Corps, enhanced the self-defense ability of the Marine Corps officers and men in close combat, and improved the overall combat effectiveness.

However, Deng Haonan was never in favor of a large-scale musketeer duel. Because the musketeers were very limited by physical geography, weather and personnel. Although the initial stage of the engagement can inflict heavy damage on the enemy, the musketeers are limited by the supply of ammunition, which is not conducive to long-term combat. Therefore, if you encounter a difficult enemy. Soon it will fall into passivity.

When the Ming Dynasty was fighting against the Jianzhou Jurchens, it was for this reason. Hou Jin knew the power of the Ming firearms, so they would not fight head-on, but with the mobility of their cavalry, they first consumed the Ming firearms and ammunition on the periphery, and when the supply of firearms and ammunition for the Ming army was insufficient, or when the bad weather failed, they launched a full-scale attack, which led to the direct cause of the repeated defeats of the Ming army and the loss of the country.

Deng Haonan's Marine Corps is both trained and equipped. are stronger than the Great Ming Weapons Soldiers. But Na Haonan still won't take any chances. Therefore, he was more inclined to cavalry artillery in his heart.

The Qi army relied on cavalry artillery to successfully kill the musket team of the Kou, and the musket of the Koukou was imitated from the Mushkert arquebus from Spain, which was a successful example. In addition, the tactics of the late Manchu Qing Dynasty against the Ming army were to mount artillery, and the artillery bombarded to disrupt the opponent's formation. Then the cavalry charged.

This cavalry artillery tactic in the era of hot and cold weapons handover in front of us. is a very effective and practical tactic.

Of course, musketeers were still the mainstream, but it was already the eighteenth century when they really exerted their power and drove the cavalry off the stage of history.

However, Deng Haonan only thought about it for the time being. At present, he did not have a land foundation, and he could not gradually come with his cavalry. Besides, Deng Haonan is currently taking the route of the rise of the navy, and it is enough to have a few thousand marines to defend and cooperate with the fleet in combat.

Speaking of the navy, the shipyard built by Deng Haonan in Shannan Wu has been completed. Master craftsmen and shipwrights have also been recruited and are working in the shipyard.

The warships of this era, how awkward it is to look at Haonan, so with its own shipyard, it is natural to give full play to Deng Haonan's talents.

At present, there are no foreign powerful navies in the Far East, except for Spain and the Netherlands. What Deng Haonan has to face is nothing more than the threat of the three major merchant gangs.

Deng Haonan took Zheng Yiguan as an imaginary enemy. And Zheng Yiguan's warships are basically two or three hundred tons to four or five hundred tons of warships, of course, there are many 1,000-ton armed merchant ships Zheng Yiguan. However, the armed merchant ships have weak firepower and full speed. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Therefore, to deal with Zheng Yiguan's naval army, Deng Haonan only needs to vigorously expand the frigates of four or five hundred tons, and appropriately add some main cruisers of seven or eight hundred tons.

It's just that the construction of Western warships is advantageous, but the cost is too high. The key is that in Deng Haonan's shipyard, craftsmen and shipwrights will not build Western warships. Therefore, Deng Haonan had to give up the idea of building foreign ships. Of course, in the Subic base in the South Seas, the Zhao family shipyard is imitating Western cruisers and frigates, and Deng Haonan is not in a hurry. The fortune ship of the Ming Dynasty is an ideal type of sea ship, with a wide bottom tip, good seaworthiness, and stability. The only drawback is that the hull is narrow, so the number of artillery assemblies is small, and the normal one gun deck is one, and the warship with two gun decks will have a large volume.

This is a difference in performance, and the small number of guns naturally leads to weak combat effectiveness. In this era of low artillery hits. The lack of artillery is a typical manifestation of loss. In particular, the naval army of the Oriental people likes to use artillery to scare people, and the beautiful name is called: strong and powerful, so the gunner's hit rate is worse, which makes the Eastern and Western warships duel. Only those who were beaten and fled.

For Deng Haonan. In appearance, he also did not like the way the ship was cocked at both ends. As a modern man. Deng Haonan likes modern warships with streamlined and beautiful lines.

Based on these ideas, Deng Haonan soon began to design his ideal warship.

First of all, the appearance, Deng Haonan retained the excellent layout of the bottom tip and width of the Fu boat. Removed the high cocked ass of the square bow and stern of the Fufune. Instead, the battlement is placed in the middle, and the main mast is clamped in the battlement to play a protective role, and at the same time, it is easier for personnel to stand on the battlement and raise and lower the sails.
