Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Gunboat and the Gatling

After the two landing craft were unloaded, they returned to the estuary with the Heart of the Ocean. They were also to be modified, and they were to be retrofitted with Gatling guns. Of course, the original 14.5mm machine gun on the landing craft is gone, but the machine gun support is still there, and so is the gimbal.

Lin Shengli used to be the deputy director of the light weapons workshop of a certain military factory, and after being laid off, he has been working in some small machine processing factories. He and Li Ziqiang met in a shotgun bar, and at that time, when Li Ziqiang was engaged in self-improvement guns, he often asked questions in the bar. And Lin Shengli replied the most, Zuihou was successfully abducted from Hebei to Changsha by Li Ziqiang.

At the beginning, he helped Li Ziqiang to make a local gun, but he didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't for sale, it was purely a hobby.

He directly rejected Li Ziqiang's bottle-shaped gun warehouse. The earthen gun is the earthen gun, the egg painfully increases the difficulty of processing, and there is no effect, do not be misled by the shape of modern bullets, and use straight bullets the same.

But later, when he had to process Sanqi Cannon and Gatling, Lin Shengli warned Li Ziqiang, don't make it bigger.

Li Ziqiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is all from the Philippine side, you know that the machining business is not easy to do now...... When the time comes, it will be disassembled into parts and shipped out in three or four batches......"

The Sanqi cannon is actually the simplest, everything will be fine if the cannon steel is solved, its sealing and firing device is easy to do, and Li Ziqiang did not ask for a high and low machine. A cradle and a balancing machine are considered to have the highest jishu content. Lin Shengli vetoed Li Ziqiang's method of using high-temperature and high-pressure pipelines, this is not a soil gun, as long as it is a cannon, there are certain requirements for chamber pressure. He sought out his former friends and spent a lot of money to get four from the warehouse of a long-defunct military factory.

Li Ziqiang said: "Is there anything else?" Is there a larger caliber? We are not afraid to spend money. ”

Lin Shengli said: "Pull it down, it's good to have four." Any more and something will happen. Your mining group is going to build an army! ”

But what about the shells? Is it processed by hand?

Li Ziqiang said that the Philippines will solve it. Lin Shengli was even more relieved, and it was possible to say that artillery without shells would be a handicraft.

The structure of the Gatling may be the simplest of the machine guns, but Li Ziqiang asked for the integration of the electric motor, which made it difficult. The cooperation between the drum and the bolt is nothing, the key is that Li Ziqiang said that only AK477.62 bullets can be used, and the number of bullets fired per minute must be limited, giving a requirement of no more than 300 rounds.

At that time, Lin Shengli immediately objected, and it was better to shake it by hand with 300 rounds! You get an extra piece of equipment of more than ten kilograms and put it on, and the speed is not as fast as the hand crank, is it so idle that the egg hurts?! Besides, the bullets of AK47 are more corrosive to the chamber of the gun, and no matter how fast they are, they will damage the barrel.

Li Ziqiang immediately broke off the idea of installing Gatling to Wu Dapeng's helicopter, and also broke off the idea of installing it on the power paraglider. In his head, he carried Gatling and shot angrily, and the scene of bullet casings pouring down beside him suddenly turned to ashes. He readily admitted that he was indeed an egg ache, and agreed to the hand-cranked design.

Now the landing craft is going to the Purple Water to be transformed.

Wu Dapeng and others boarded the Zishui, and the two 37 guns had already been erected. Song Shida was a little disappointed after reading it, this is Li Ziqiang's big killer weapon who claims to protect the traverser and never change his color?

The entire barrel is only two meters and seven long, it is still a single barrel, and the total weight is less than two tons, even if it is two, it is difficult to give people a sense of might, especially under the backdrop of the Zishui with a tonnage of more than 1,000 tons.

He whispered to Sun Defa: "I heard that it was originally used for artificial rainfall? ”

Sun Defa said: "Don't look at it small, it is invincible in this shijie range." The effective range is eight kilometers! ”

Li Ziqiang and Lin Shengli were circling around the so-called fort. In order to prevent shock, the base and deck are welded with a layer of two-centimeter-thick steel plates, and the base is made of special cast steel flanges, nested as a cylindrical rolling gear groove, which can provide a 360-degree flat firing angle for the 37 gun.

Li Ziqiang patted the baffle and said proudly: "Our first gunboat was born!" ”

"Good!" The crowd applauded regardless of whether his classification was correct or not.

Song Shida also applauded lightly, but his eyes looked into the distance.

There were four fishing boats trying to catch fish in the distance, and he had already made a statement for dinner tonight, and the general affairs company would never provide the same rice bowl with mineral water as it did at noon. I want a seafood feast! Of course, it depends on what the fishing boats catch. However, judging from the situation they reported, the situation is gratifying!

The captain of Yu No. 1 reported that he didn't even need to turn on the electronic scanner, and he just wanted to wet the net, which was a new net as standard, and it was unlucky for the maiden voyage not to wet the net. Who knew that if the net went down, more than 300 catties of fish would be caught! The other three fishing boats are much the same.

All four are trawlers. The reason for not buying purse seine nets with larger catches is that there are too many equipment for purse seine nets, not to mention a certain number of auxiliary small fishing boats and helpers. For the traversers who never lacked fishing grounds in the 17th century, the benefits were modest.

Song Shidama gave the order to let them fish as they pleased, and first fill the cold storage on his fishing boat. There is a fish in your hand, and there is no panic in your heart.

Gatling is easier to install. Even an electric welding machine is useless. All kinds of parameters have been measured in advance, and the card holder has been processed in advance. Gatling's feeding method is a hopper magazine, each with 100 rounds, mounted on it. The whole Gatling, in Lin Shengli's words, that is, the magazine he designed has a higher content of jishu, not only precision casting, but also using CNC lathe processing.

Although Gatling had already completed the test firing, Li Ziqiang had to try again, saying, "Who dares to guarantee that it will not change after it is placed on the support seat?" I'm going to be the first person to put a gun in this shijie! But as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of AK47 firing could be heard in the distance. Li Ziqiang screamed in annoyance.

Wu Jianqiang hurriedly connected to the reconnaissance team, and replied that when he came back from reconnaissance, Yujian had attacked the deer, and the team members mistakenly thought that there was an ambush and shot first. It also reported that there were no signs of human habitation within a radius of 20 kilometers. Wu Jianqiang looked at his watch, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, which means that the two reconnaissance teams were released and searched an area of 20 kilometers in ten hours, and the performance was very good. It's a jungle area.

Wu Jianqiang praised their achievements and focused on the team members who fired first.

"Yes, you must take me as the main one, and in the territory of the enemy, you are not afraid of accidental injury!"

Wu Dapeng cast an approving glance at the third uncle, and stood behind Li Ziqiang as quickly as everyone else. Someone consulted Lin Shengli, this Gatling's gimbal only supports a 180-degree angle.

Li Zi forcefully pressed down the magazine and opened the safe. Triumphantly gestured to the man standing behind him in a huddle to shoot him.

He shook the handle, and a barrage of bullets shot towards the sea. Lin Shengli didn't care about the impact point like others, but looked at Gatling's fuselage attentively, fortunately, the flutter was not big, indicating that the worm gear transmission was very stable. Twenty seconds later, the magazine ran out, and Li Ziqiang turned a few more times.

Wu Dapeng rubbed his hands, ah, hey, it's really enjoyable! Just as he was about to open his mouth for a test launch, Wu Jianqiang quit and said, "Directors, thank you for your inspection work!" Please instruct! ”

Wu Jianqiang said in his heart, every bullet is used to save your life, but you can't help but let you play!

Wu Dapeng smiled awkwardly and said, "I will say two words on behalf of the board of directors――――――"

Dinner was served on the beach. In addition to the necessary personnel left behind, all the ships went to the canteen greenhouse. The canteen greenhouse is completely made of selected tree trunks to build shelves, and then put on canvas to complete the work. There are three more greenhouses like this, each with other supplies. Since it's just temporary, it's simple because it's ugly.

At this time, the canteen greenhouse is filled with the smell of fresh trees, and even the smell of freshly cooked seafood can't suppress them.

Four bright calcium carbide lamps whirred over everyone's heads, illuminating the shed brightly.

Under the lights, Wu Dapeng and the other five people were still honestly queuing.

"This one has to have 200 watts of brightness, right?" Jianguoan asked curiously.

"More than 300 watts. If you hadn't grown up in the countryside, you wouldn't have seen it. Li Ziqiang said proudly.

Sun Defa tried to smell it, but it was okay, and he didn't smell the annoying acetylene. This shows that the machining level of these calcium carbide lamps is good, and the sealing performance is very good.

"How long does that feed last?" Wu Dapeng interjected.

Sun Defa took over: "One kilogram of calcium carbide, one kilogram of water, three hours is no problem, the brightness is adjustable." ”

Li Ziqiang said: "When Fa Tsai sent me his design drawings, I almost died of joy, he was designing chemical generators, not lights. Look, I changed it, and a lamp weighs only five kilograms when it's full. According to his design, it would be more than ten kilograms. Machining is king! ”

"It's just too loud......" Jianguo'an was a little regretful.

"Loud? A little lower the brightness, the quieter the sound. Li Ziqiang walked over and stretched out his hand to start adjusting the brightness.

Wu Dapeng asked Song Shida: "Are the other personnel arranged?" ”

"It's arranged, and when we're done, we'll send people to deliver meals separately. It will never happen at noon. ”

There was a little bit of a problem at noon lunch. The cafeteria had just come ashore, so it was simply a rice bowl. Those who eat nearby are okay to say, and those who are farther away have opinions. The braised rice bowl is made with meat and mushrooms, sorry, the meat is a little fat, and the braised is a little thicker. After it was delivered, it was condensed, and it didn't look good, not to mention, it was a little tiresome. When the information came back, Song Shida immediately arranged for the people in the canteen to find a way to ensure that the people in the wood industry base could have a hot meal.

He Yuanqing, the person in charge of the canteen, thought for a long time and proposed to give a set of simple cooking utensils to the wood industry base, and let them make their own food.

Song Shida frowned when he heard this, and said, "Isn't there any insulation equipment?" Don't even have a thermal cone? ”

"Yes, I listed it in the list. I don't know who zuihou deleted it! Then he muttered something more, but he didn't hear it.

Song Shida patted his head and remembered that it was he who deleted all the food insulation equipment, and added a lot of frozen ones.

can only be done according to He Yuanqing's method.

He Yuanqing said in his heart, he was tired, right? I'll send you crabs and shrimp, boiled in water, and dipped in soy sauce! He Yuanqing has opinions about anyone who doubts his cooking skills. Lao Tzu also opened a hotel back then, if it weren't for the county government owing money to the point of closing, I could have come here?

Dinner was boiled crab and prawns, and fish stew in a large pot. Among the various catches brought by the fishing boats, there were originally more than a dozen aconitum aconitum. Song Shida knew that this was a good thing, and in this time and space, it was called mullet, and the Dutch had to collect fishermen's taxes according to the mantissa number, which shows how popular it is. And mullet roe is even more precious, and haode costs NT$10,000 a catty.

He Yuanqing said: "Song Dong, I'll give you a steam, and the fish roe will be fried for you a little more, and I will be good at fragrant shochu and burning." ”

Song Shida swallowed his saliva and said, "Can everyone eat it?" ”

"The people on the fishing boat said that they were not prepared, they just caught it haphazardly, and there were not too many of them."

"There will be a lot of them in the future!"

"That's for sure, it's the season to catch it."

"Then let's stew it together! It's not a good thing to be special in the first place. ”

Song Shida said righteously.

Thank you for the generous reward from history lovers and yezhongye, especially yezhongye is the fourth time, I hope you don't tip for the time being, don't waste too much money.
