Lost in 162901000 Fantasy Weapons

Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world. ★ Aishang's novel network is updated quickly (╰→dushuge), and the novel is complete, and the soft light yarn on the river is complete ★. Katwana on the steep shore. The song is like a bright spring light......"

Xie Xi gently hummed this famous song from the time of the Great Patriotic War in the former Soviet Union. And in front of him. At the test launch site about 100 meters away, when dozens of rockets fired at the same time, the sound of "whining" became the best accompaniment.

The rocket launcher that Xu Hui took out was very different from the version of Katyusha. Regardless of range. Calibre. Or the number that can be fired at the same time at one time. All have big differences. However, there is one thing that is more similar - the transmitter still uses the rail type. And not the more mature launch tubes of the later period. Xu Hui explained that this is due to technical limitations. The rocket adopts a relatively simple fixed tail type stable dìng structure. This makes it no longer possible to launch with tubes.

The whole system has a total of ten shooting guides. A salvo can fire 0 rounds of rockets with a diameter of 10 mm. It can be shot alone. Partial bursts are also possible. Or a salvo. Launcher - can be disassembled. It is then temporarily assembled during combat. It can also be dragged on wheels and by mules and horses. In this way, the weapon as a whole is relatively light and flexible. Carried in troop transport.

The theoretical high firing range of this rocket launcher can reach 8,400 meters. However, Ma Qianshan and other artillery members all believed that there was no radar and computer-aided ballistic calculation system on the premise. It doesn't make sense to have too long a range. Relative to this time, 1 is an opponent who relies on hand-to-hand combat to decide the outcome of the war. The attack range of a 3,000-meter radius is already enough to defeat the sky. Artillery usually does no longer do over-the-horizon fire.

"So we designed two types of rockets. One is long-range. Eight thousand mile range. Equipped with an incendiary warhead. It is used to attack large stationary targets such as cities or enemy camps. while the other significantly reduces the fuel compartment section. The firing range is only about 3,300 meters. Basically, it can only be used for line-of-sight attacks. But the extra volume is used to add 1 warhead. The power of the explosion has increased dramatically. It has a higher destructive power and is designed to hit moving targets at close range. Especially enemy forces in dense formations. ”

- The latter type of ammunition was specially designed at the request of the military group. In order to test the range of ammunition killing. The test team placed a number of straw man targets in the intended target coverage area of the arrows. It was completely arranged in accordance with the array of the Ming army. Three or four thousand straw man targets were placed. At the same time, hundreds of them were bolted into it - to test the killing effect.

The overwhelming roar finally ended, when everyone came to the shooting range to observe the effect. They were surprised to find: only one cannon was used. A salvo. Twenty rockets covered an area almost the size of a football field! And the lethal effect is also amazing - almost all the sheep in the area covered by artillery fire are killed. Only very - some survived.

"If this is an army ...... down there"

Look at the crater like a warhead covering the ground on the surface of the moon. All the testers were shocked. In this era, the army still fought in dense formations. If in real combat. If the artillery can accurately pour this round of fire on the enemy's head. This shelling alone. I'm afraid it will be reimbursed to - two or three thousand people!

"Absolute killer... With this weapon, we are absolutely invincible in this era! ”

At first, the dismissal was quite excited, but then. Designer Xu Hui told him a few numbers. Let Lao Jie's overly excited mood calm down again.

- Any weapon is a disadvantage. This one is no exception. This new rocket launcher designed by Xu Hui is perfect in every way. The only drawback is that it is too costly.

The rocket launcher itself is not very expensive, although it is called artillery. In fact, it is a large gold launch bracket with precise angle adjustment. The structure and function are not too complicated. It doesn't take much to build. It's all about ammunition.

The new rockets embodied the highest level of technology available to the Travelers - the metallurgical group provided them with the best steel; The chemistry group has experimented with numerous new formulations to meet explosives and fuel needs; In order to solve the problem of fuzes, the industrial group has set up a special research group to tackle key components, and some key parts of the early components have even used modern machine tools to process them...... After the joint efforts of everyone, this fantasy-level weapon was finally taken out. But the cost of construction is also very fantastic.

- The cost of each rocket. If you use the "Zhu Datou" silver dollar to calculate, it will be about 300 yuan. Fifty taels of silver. That's almost as much as a Qionghai rifle - but it's a consumable!

Moreover, such a weapon would have to require a cluster of single-shot rockets to be fired with an accuracy that would not be easy to take. It is easy to deviate from the target when one team and two expenditures are distributed, so it is necessary to carry out large-area kills in a covering way - or not to fight. To fight is to fire a salvo or even a salvo of several guns at the same time......

Although it is also designed to be used as a single shot. But that's for calibration purposes. In real combat. As soon as the rocket is fired. The location of the gun carriage will immediately be completely submerged in a large cloud of smoke and dust. There is no more than ten or twenty minutes to dissipate. Therefore, it is completely impossible for such rocket artillery to be fired continuously. Or hit it all at once. Or just a cannon every fifteen minutes—a twelve-pounder bronze cannon.

“! This round of salvo is three thousand taels of silver? Six thousand oceans? ”

When the dismissal hears these counts. Rao is his own small

Body. I found a Mrs. Xiang who did a big business. For money-sensitive. At this time, I couldn't help but straighten my eyes.

"Isn't this equivalent to taking money to smash people, or throwing a lot of money...... Depend on. No wonder you are. Let our three battalions be equipped with such weapons as a matter of priority. ”

Smiled:

"yes. This cannon will lose the cost of equipment for a squad. It's just too expensive. If it weren't for you in Qiongzhou Mansion. A trading company was also established. We can't afford to do research on new weapons. Therefore, when the new device comes out, I will give you priority equipment. It's a kind of reward. ”

"Further research and testing costs will fall on you. Next, we need to calculate the firing element of the rocket artillery. Preparation of a book. A large number of test launches are required...... Old solution. Say hello to your wife when you get back. Let her work hard to make more money. Otherwise, we can't equip it. ”

Artillery Director Ma Qian also walked over with a smile. Said half-jokingly, half-seriously. Xie Xi smiled and nodded. But a sense of pride rose in my heart.

——If he hadn't advocated Qiongzhou Mansion at the beginning, where would he have achieved today?

Month. Xie Xi and Ao Yang returned to Qiongzhou Prefecture. They were accompanied by new units assigned to the third battalion by the military component. It consists of two infantry companies and a twelve-pounder artillery company. and a "Thor I" rocket artillery test company led by Ma Qianshan himself.

In fact, according to the wishes of the chief designer Xu Hui, he originally wanted to still use "Katyusha" as the code name of the new rocket artillery. But not everyone is nostalgic for the former Soviet Union. After strong opposition from a part of the comrades. It also takes into account the acceptance of the local troops in the future. In the end, it was decided to use a term that everyone could understand as the title of the new weapon.

Pang Yu and others welcomed this new weapon. It's a bit more expensive. But it works. As for the money, there is always an endless stream of money that can be earned - after the Zheng family's fleet. Some other merchant forces in the coastal areas of the mainland of the Ming Dynasty also came to trade one after another. In the word-of-mouth of these merchants. Hainan Baisha is gradually growing into Guangzhou. Macau. Equally important trading ports such as Moon Harbor.

But except for Chinese merchant ships. There was also a not-so-popular customer who came over – one day in early April. A foreign merchant ship appeared in the sea off the port of Baisha. And I would like to come to a port.

Because it flies the Banya flag. There is no grudge against this side. Therefore, after discussion, Professor Li still agreed to let it into the port for supplies. However after the ship docked. In addition to several officers such as the captain and first mate. Stepping down from it was a white man dressed in a merchant's uniform, who informed the dockmaster in a very humble tone through a guò interpreter. Claiming to be commissioned by the Dutch East India Company. Came here to present credentials to the short-haired "Chinese armed forces" on Hainan Island.

"Credentials? What qualifications does a mere Yi company have to send this thing? Besides, Lan himself was still under Spanish rule. ”

When I received a request from the Spanish merchant who called himself Diego. Everyone's first reaction was to feel ridiculous. Aren't they here that the Ming Dynasty is ignorant of the situation in Europe, and these foreigners want to fool them? Not 1!

Poor Mr. Diego was soon escorted back to the ship by the Shorthairs of the Underdogs. He was told two things: first. Toyin, as a trading entity, is not eligible to file credentials; Second. At present, the Dutch and the Chinese on Hainan Island are at war, and as an envoy of Lan, he is not allowed to set foot on the land of Hainan Island.

And the hapless Spanish captain was not able to open the dock either. Because his ships carried people who had served the enemy country. None of his crew members were able to obtain visas. Not allowed to leave customs...... When that Spanish captain heard the reason here. Immediately scolded - not scolding shorthair. Instead, he scolded the idiot named Diego. Send a letter and send a letter. Do you have to talk about diplomatic rhetoric? As a result, people are much more skilled in playing this set than him-1.

The West Tooth merchant who had eaten a closed door quickly changed his story. Changed his story to claim that he was merely a messenger. A private letter was sent on behalf of Mr. Hans, Governor General of the Netherlands...... Just personal letters. It does not represent any force.

Although he himself was still denied landing, the sub-dock officials finally accepted the letter. The Epistle is in duplicate. One is the original German version. The other is the Chinese version - the person who sent the letter was quite thoughtful.

Most people here can only understand the Chinese version. It said that there had been some misunderstandings between the two sides. I hope it can be properly resolved. If possible, I hope that the captives will be released here. and consider trade and the like...... Overall it was polite. But Julie is German. She took the original letter and looked at it only once. Immediately frown:

"Is this different from the Chinese version? It's an ultimatum. ”

"Motto? What do you mean? ”

It's weird. And Julie after reading a few sentences. The brow furrowed more and more:

ultimatum: if he cannot make his demands satisfied. He's going to start a war. ”
