Chapter 96: A Different Projectile

[Thank you Li Xuexiang for your reward, I wish everyone a happy holiday!] 】

Chen Shouye's silence was very effective, and Zhou Huchen saw that Chen Shouye ignored him, and finally stopped being nervous.

The three of them were one in front of the other and two behind, Zhou Huchen was very familiar with Chen Shouye's office, and he entered the house first with a light gait.

Unceremoniously occupying the main position, Zhou Huchen was still in a state of excitement: "Hurry up and bring paper and pen, I can't wait!" ”

Chen Xing was very discerning and curious, he put the pen and paper on the paper for a long time, and asked while starting to grind: "Young marshal, there must be something good about this, you can talk about it first!" ”

"What does an ordinary projectile of artillery look like?" Zhou Huchen asked rhetorically:

"Round." Chen Xing's answer was as concise as ever:

"Today I give you father and son a task, this task is unique, and it is definitely a groundbreaking creation! A great invention will belong to your father and son! ”

Looking at the triumphant Zhou Huchen, Chen Xing handed over the pen: "Oh, young marshal, do you want to get a salary increase after completing this task?" ”

"What I gave you father and son is the opportunity to make a name for themselves and go down in history, and you insult a brilliant idea and jishu that is the best in the world! What is the reason of heaven! Chen Xing, you actually used those things to compare with a great invention that is unprecedented, unique, and epoch-free! Is there any reason for this? O God! O earth."

In the face of Zhou Huchen's complaints, Chen Shouye's father and son were not moved at all, this young marshal's discipline is still good, but this mouth is really under-pumped.

Of course, Chen Shouye and his son did not dare to draw Zhou Huchen, and their father and son were not short of money, as the top manager of this workshop, Zhou Huchen gave them enough salary for their father and son to squander for a lifetime. This is just a kind of ridicule to spice up the atmosphere, and only when facing Zhou Huchen, Chen Xing, who has always been silent, will show his humorous and witty side.

"Young marshal, let's begin!" At this time, Chen Xing finished the ink, and when the joke was enough, he handed over a pen:

"This is a pen?" What Zhou Huchen took in his hand was clearly a small wooden stick:

"Craftsmen use this kind of pen, just dip it in ink, and the brush for drawing is not as good as this pen, you can try it."

Carefully fiddling with the "pen" in his hand, this is clearly a cork stick dipped in the pen Subsequently, Zhou Huchen understood that the brush was too soft, and the drawing should be done with a hard pen. This cork pen with a sharpened head is very convenient to use, and can adjust the thickness of the drawing, which is undoubtedly much better than a brush.

Still underestimate the ancients, this is a new discovery, Zhou Huchen is now thinking about whether he invented pencils, pens, by the way, and chalk.

The nib of the fountain pen needs to be very meticulously handmade, Zhou Huchen thought about it, and forgot it for the time being. As the manager of the workshop, Chen Shouye and his son are not only managers in the workshop, but also the fillers, their father and son have worked very hard day and night, and there is really no need to engage in this fountain pen.

After figuring it out, Zhou Huchen no longer bothered about this matter, now he has a pen to use, Zhou Huchen picked up the pen and dipped it in ink and began to compare: "What I need is a cannonball, a long cannonball, with a conical head and a tail at the back." ”

Looking at the four dissimilarities he had drawn, Zhou Huchen pursed his lips and handed the pen to Chen Xing: "The standard length is one foot, and the thickness is slightly smaller than the caliber data of the gun chamber we recorded. By the way, this shell is two magazines, the front is filled with more powerful granular gunpowder, and the back is the inducing gunpowder. ”

Chen Xing is really not a star and a half more professional than Zhou Huchen, after a simple look at Zhou Huchen's four dislikes, Chen Xing picked up the copper ruler on the table and began to move, the whole action is like a butterfly shuttling through the flowers, which is pleasing to the eye, steady, accurate, and ruthless.

Looking at his son's performance-like movements, Chen Shouye's face showed a fatherly satisfied expression, and the wrinkles like a knife and axe were piled up together.

"Looks like you're more professional than me!"

"That's it!"

Zhou Huchen didn't care about Chen Xing's unceremonious answer, he praised it, he finally accepted it, this drawing and his work are obviously not the same. He kind of understood, weishenme Zhou Mo so despised his painstaking masterpieces. Sure enough, it is a professional who does a professional thing, and he is a standard layman compared to these professional craftsmen, in addition to advanced concepts, in some places, he is far inferior to these professionals.

The cannonball drawn by Chen Xing was basically the same as what Zhou Huchen had in his mind, and now, he needed Chen Shouye and his son to continue.

"Can it be made of iron?"

Chen Shouye laughed again, and Chen Xing directly asked, "How much does the young marshal need?" ”

"Ten for the time being!"

"Three days." Chen Xing is really Chen Xing, and his language is concise and practical:

Zhou Huchen suddenly remembered something: "Oh yes, after this cannonball is successfully made, a flintlock ignition device should be added to the back, which is required to be exactly inside the tail fin, and it also happens not to be in contact with the outside to prevent it from being triggered, and a safety device is also needed, which can ensure that the flintlock device will not have an accident." ”

Chen Xing smiled: "No problem!" In addition, it seems that our firecracker also needs a locking pin to prevent it from going off, so I've got it all in my hands! ”

Draw inferences!

Zhou Huchen had to admire, where he couldn't think of it, this Chen Xing actually thought of it, and he was really a talent.

The matter has been resolved, Zhou Huchen is in a good mood, and while he is leaving, he is also glad that he has those memories of that knowledge, and it is really not enough to have a lot of knowledge.

As for this shell, to put it bluntly, it is a mortar shell, which is an improved mortar shell with a time-delay fuse. That steel barrel is a mortar barrel, and with a base and brackets, this mortar will be a nightmare for all enemies if it has a sufficient number of them.

Zhou Huchen has already decided that before this shell is used, several bullet belts will be made. This elastic belt is several ring grooves, called elastic belts. Its function is that when the shell is fired, the gunpowder gas expands at the ring groove to form a vortex, which can effectively reduce the leakage of gunpowder gas, improve the air tightness, and improve its utilization rate.

In addition to the disadvantage of having a relatively short firing range, mortars can be said to have many advantages; For example, the gun body is light and can be easily disassembled, which is very conducive to the application of mobile combat and preset positions; The trajectory of the mortar is curved, the angle of fall is large, the dead angle and the dead boundary are small, and it is easy to choose a firing position, which will inflict a fatal blow on the enemy behind a trench or bunker; With the flintlock device, its rate of reloading and firing will be very high, more than ten times more efficient than the artillery of this era, and as for the bore, it is hardly to think about; The tail fin of the shell will be very conducive to the stability of the shell after discharge, which is an effective guarantee of accuracy.

With mortars, what is still missing, of course, large artillery. There were many cannons on the Sanguan Pass and the city wall of Datong Mansion and the Inner Great Wall, and Zhou Huchen once carefully observed these cannons. The assessment was that they were bulky, extremely slow to fire, and most importantly, the quality of these guns was worrying, and there was a shortage of gunpowder.

Thinking of these artillery, Zhou Huchen suddenly realized that he was still short of talents-gunners.

didn't even go back to his own house, Zhou Huchen ran to Zhou Yuji without hesitation, and asked Master Gao to handle a paperwork for himself. Zhou Huchen wants to transfer the gunners, he wants to transfer those available gunners to his subordinates, how can Zhou Huchen let go of such a time-saving and labor-saving thing, although these gunners are not very strong, Zhou Huchen believes that they will become very strong, and come to his own hands - it seems a little impossible to think that they are not strong.
