Chapter 407: Retreat and Re-entry Machine

The most unreal three days, three days after arriving in Guangzhou, Yang Meng only had such a feeling, too unreal, much more unreal than when he was reborn, the first time he came to Daqing accompanied by severe pain in the back of his head, but now Yang Meng is fluttering, just like stepping in the clouds.

was grabbed by a little fat man, and this kid also stuffed his fingers into his mouth, although it was a little itchy, but Yang Meng's heart was beautiful.

Yang Xintian is very clever, but he has only been born for three days, and he has a reaction to the name Butch, and every time someone says about Butch, this kid must turn his head.

The second elder Yang Pan also comes every day, Lian'er is fine, and Lao Taishan also puts his mind on Buqi, but this kid doesn't give the second old man face at all, and stays in the arms of Lian'er or the nursing mother, which is called a stable, once he is in the arms of the second elder, he is either crying or urinating, and the enemy is very clear!

The affairs of southern Xinjiang are a big deal, Lian'er's mother and son are safe, although Yang Meng has the heart to stay for a while, but the situation does not allow it! The situation in southern Xinjiang was laid out by him, because some things were obtained from later generations, so Yang Meng couldn't say too much to Xu Ziwei, and he had to be present to grasp the situation.

Lian'er wants to go back to Yunnan, at least a month later, although there is a big brother in Yunnan, but the eldest brother is less murderous than himself and the old man, he can handle small things easily, and big things are not difficult, but when it comes to the safety of the Yang family, he doesn't have that murderous intention.

"Old man......"

"Hmmm! I know that the big thing is important, and I will stop here in Guangzhou for three or two months. Go ahead! ”

The third child has a son. Yang Shiqin's words have changed. It's a big deal, listening to what the old man said, Yang Meng felt strange! It's all his business.

"That's right! It's a big deal, Xingdou, you're doing a big thing, and now that you have a successor, you can give it a go. ”

The second elder had no opinion, and Yang Meng had no obstruction. I met my mother-in-law, Mrs. Pan, and persuaded Lian'er, but this old woman had to take action!

"Master, you're leaving again......"

In the past three days, Lian'er also listened to the old mothers talk about the process of her own man saving herself, and in the past three days, these words have built a mountain in Lian'er's heart, a mountain that can be relied on. Seeing Yang Meng, Lian'er felt the breath on her man's body. Much warmer than Daddy.

"Hmmm! As a last resort......"

"Zhilu said, Lian'er can't stop you, as long as the master has Lian'er in his heart, Lian'er will be satisfied."

Women are sensual, and feelings are also very delicate, and as time goes by, Lian'er's feelings for Yang Meng are getting thicker and thicker.

"Take care!"

Without too many words, Yang Meng silently walked out of Lian'er's yard, not wanting to leave! But I have to go, so it's better to be refreshed.

"Third master, there is a problem in the artillery factory, you ......"

Third master, Ding Taichen is clear about returning to southern Xinjiang in a hurry, but the problem encountered by the artillery factory is also very critical, which involves the problem of the giant cannon on the ship, and it is an extravagant hope that the giant cannon of this ironclad ship cannot be solved.

"Go check it out! The ironclad ship is the key, and he also involves my layout in southern Xinjiang, and I can't ignore it, how long will it take for Morse's telegraph line to reach Mengla? ”

There are only a few problems with artillery, one is weight, the other is recoil, and the rest is range and power, the first two are the key, cast iron rear-loading guns, Yang Meng thought about it for a while, and almost knew what problems the Dao Gun Factory had encountered.

The problem of the artillery factory should not be within a day or two, and without fast news channels, many things will be delayed on the road for at least a month or two.

"It will be completed in three months, this time it will be directly used with trees, and it will be changed slowly in the future!"

"Hmmm! Yes, keeping in touch is the most important thing, whether there is a pole or not, it is not very important now, along the telegraph line, set up Wuzhuang and Grange to ensure the smooth flow of the line. ”

Three months is still acceptable, and after three months, Guangzhou is connected to Yunnan, and the time spent on the road is much less.

Packed up and left Lixiang Garden, Yang Meng didn't plan to stay longer, this year is not good to pass on the road, think about the situation in the Southeast Peninsula, Yang Meng is still very peaceful, hundreds of thousands of people have died over there, and he is not a New Year, which is not a loss.

When he arrived at the cannon foundry stationed in the Guangzhou Iron Factory, Yang Meng entered the whole as soon as possible, time was very critical, and he didn't have much time to ink in the gun factory.

"What's the problem, is it weight or recoil?"

"The third master is wise, it's a matter of recoil. Sanye, this is a new gun developed by us, no matter the range or weight, it can be on the ship, only this recoil, we can't solve it.

The recoil is too great, first, the hull can't bear it, and second, the wind and waves at sea, if it is a coincidence, this giant cannon is likely to overturn the ironclad ship together with the waves. ”

The current cannon foundry, Li Mingfu is in charge, after listening to Yang Meng's question, Li Mingfu is also deeply admired, no need to ask to know that the problem is there, only the third master in Yunnan has this ability!

Under the command of Li Mingfu, the craftsmen of the cannon foundry lifted a huge tarpaulin, and a hideous beast was placed in front of Yang Meng.

The medicine chamber with the thickness of the water tank, the barrel of nearly five meters, and the huge iron base with a diameter of more than ten meters, you can see how powerful this cannon is.

"So big? How much does this cannon weigh? ”

"With the territory, thirteen tons or so."

"How far is the range?"

"The maximum firing range is nearly ten miles, but it can only fire one or two cannons, and if there are more, it will inevitably explode."

"The longest lifespan, which kind of range is right?"

"About five miles! At least a thousand guns! ”

A thousand cannons, it sounds like a lot, but this number is not much different from a one-time thing, after all, it is normal to overfire, and the life of this cast iron cannon is a little short.

"How's it powering?"

"Within three miles, you can penetrate the battleship, and five miles away you can only penetrate one side of the hull."

"Have you used the cylindrical bullet?"

"Used! But too heavy, ordinary dosage. It can only maintain a range of three miles. ”

"Hmmm! That's enough! Have you tried ways to increase the power of your artillery? ”

"Tried. Bronze cannon is the best! ”

"Good! On the ironclad. Just use the bronze cannon! ”

"Third master, it's just that this key problem can't be solved, so we can only reduce the caliber."

"Simple! I have a method, called the station-and-retreat machine, which can solve this, and I will explain it to you in general terms.

Mingfu, the person who knows the way of the retreat and the re-entry machine. It's easy not to leave the gun factory, it's okay to leave, it can only be a dead person, now this epidemic is severe, and you die of sudden illness, you can do it, right? ”

The last sentence was said by Yang Meng in Li Mingfu's ear, this thing is too rebellious, as long as there is this thing. Large-caliber guns can be loaded onto battleships.

Yunnan is both industrial capacity and naval level. is a big difference between the powers, and after this thing is designed, Yang Meng will unload the mill and kill the donkey.

"Zhilu Dao! Everyone? ”

"In addition to our people, as long as they are used, there are some things, the conditions may not be reached now, and the simplest structure can only be used, but the idea of this thing, our people must record it, after the development of the stationing and retreating machine, I will let Taichen arrange a plague, this secret, death can not be revealed a little."

Stationed and retreated re-entry machine, relying on the first four words alone, can solve the recoil problem of artillery, there are a lot of this evolution, as a gun dealer, I don't know how much of this, guns. The spring under the tube is the simplest stand-and-retreat device.

High-powered howitzer, Yang Meng has also seen, although he has not dismantled and seen, but the hydraulic stationing and retreating machine, Yang Meng still knows the road, although he does not know the specific structure of the road, but the hydraulic device Yang Meng has also seen, the combination of these two, the simplest stationing and retreating machine is still very easy to complete.

It's too complicated, to be honest, just with the iron factory and the industrial level of Yunnan, even with detailed drawings, it is difficult to make qualified products.

Springs can be made, simple hydraulic presses can also be made, in this way, the most primitive standing and retreating retraction machine, it is not a problem, most of the technicians, with this idea, can still be manufactured.

There is no need for complex drawings, at the current industrial level, you just have detailed drawings of aircraft carriers, and you can only look at it in a hurry, and you can't become fat in one bite, to solve this problem, a simple idea, a rough drawing, has been sufficient, can not be more sufficient.

The design and manufacture of the stationing and retreating machine is very simple, but secrecy is the problem, once this thing falls into the hands of the powers, it is definitely the beginning of the disaster, for the stationing and retreating and returning machine, Yang Meng's confidentiality requirements are also extremely strict, after the development is completed, immediately unload the grinding and kill the donkey.

"Taichen, arrange the most reliable person to produce the stationing and retreating machine, after being equipped on the ironclad ship in the future, the entire artillery will be covered with armor, the principle of this thing is very simple, and the action and structure of the artillery can be imitated from a distance."

The great powers want to learn this thing, it's simple, after the sinking of the British navy, it's fine, this is Yang Meng's minimum requirement. Before the ability to protect itself, the stationing and retreating re-entry machine can only be a secret.

After explaining this, Yang Meng picked up a pen and paper and began to draw a sketch of the retreat machine in his mind, and after more than ten sketches, Yang Meng handed them over to Li Mingfu.

Li Mingfu walked to the Chinese and foreign technicians of the artillery factory with these more than a dozen drawings, and after explaining Yang Meng's method, most of the foreign technicians gave a thumbs up, but most of the technicians in Yunnan were ignorant and did not react.

"Alas...... These foreign technicians, keep them for a while! Our technicians are still a lot worse, Taichen, look at them, even if they fart, you have to know whether it is fragrant or smelly! ”

Yang Meng wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey, but the current situation of the cannon factory did not allow it, most of the Chinese technicians were in smelting, but the design was the specialty of foreign technicians, and a dozen drawings could be explored.

"Third master, why do you have to do this?"

Yang Meng said to kill before, but he changed his mind when he turned his head, just now Ding Taichen did not observe the performance of Chinese and foreign technicians, so he also didn't understand.

"Skill! Our people are still too bad! The technicians of the foreigners, you can understand at a glance, but our technicians are ignorant, and now we can't do without the skills of the foreign devils!

Let's step up the cultivation of our own technicians over there! Always guard against this foreign technician, the investment in this area is not small, and they are extroverts, many things will be discounted, very ability, can give us five or six points is already good, the rest of the things, we have to learn by ourselves!

The eight strands of literature, Confucianism, and the great policies of the imperial court have turned 40,000 people into half-fools, and we have to change them! It's too hard!

But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be changed, this string in the brain is the most important, this string continues, even if we have laid down the country and defeated the foreign devils, we will have to be bullied in the future.

If we want to change, we will kill people, if we kill foreigners now, we will kill our own people in the future, and whoever dares to stand in our way, we will kill whoever we want! One is not too little, not too much, and you have to be prepared. ”

More than a dozen drawings saw the gap in level, and also led to Yang Meng's thoughts, one is not too little, not too much, looking at the determined expression of his third master, Ding Taichen knew that the tide was coming.

"Third master, the problem is solved, the foreign technicians unanimously passed, saying that this method can definitely solve the problem of recoil, they still have theories and formulas over there, and within a month of referring to these drawings, they can come up with the real thing.

Third master, these technicians ......"

Li Mingfu's answer was also expected by Yang Meng, the performance of the foreign technician also made Li Mingfu have a heart to cherish talents, these people were killed, it's a pity!

"Let's keep it for now...... Let your people learn from them! Look at the way you looked just now, people will understand at a glance that your people are like a group of stupid geese, too far behind!

Confidential things, you tell them, my side does not hesitate to kill, let them be prepared in their hearts, don't leak Lao Tzu's secret!

Mingfu, you also have to contact the shipyard these days, such a big cannon, the advice from the shipyard is also very important, and if there are any problems, let Taichen give me news. ”

The matter of the stationing and retreating aircraft is solved, Yang Meng is about to set off, and now the southern Xinjiang is the focus, and the ironclad ship is going to be powerful, and the time is early! (To be continued......)
