Chapter 460: True Airsoft Gun

Just when Yu Ji wanted to continue to "talk", Bai Tu temporarily stopped him, and at the same time reminded everyone that there was another experiment.

It's not an ordinary white bus that you want to compare with artillery - what's the value of that comparison?

In contrast, the only advantage of the white bus is that when the conditions are met, it can be made on site without thinking about the problem of movement!

Even if you consider the cost of training an engineering company that can quickly manufacture a white bus, the white bus is not cheap in terms of cost......

Compared with artillery, it is the real gas cannon developed by Huang Yueying!

Of course, although Bai Tu didn't pay attention to it from time to time before, I also heard Huang Yueying mention that in the battle between firearms and true qi, it seems that Yu Ji has always been the leader in terms of "cannon......

However, since Huang Yueying has no intention of giving up, Bai Tu will not directly pour cold water, whether it is a mule or a horse, it will be pulled out for a walk!

When Huang Yueying heard this, she also bit her lip and signaled to Xu Shu - Xu Shu was actually familiar with all the new weapons, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

But since it is the twenty-six people in front of him to make a final decision, then Xu Shu will use the best posture to show the power of the two cannons!

Gao Shun's experimental cavalry was once again filled......

The same fifteen hundred men, who began to charge from a distance of 1,500 meters.

However, this time he had to face a real gas cannon that looked more "bells and whistles", with a volume slightly larger than the cannon two circles, a folding structure in the middle, surrounded by steel chains and winches that fit the gun body, and a real gas furnace with a thick human hug at the tail......

It looks like it's more expensive than those stupid big black coarse!

When the cannon was fired, I saw a flash of the true gas furnace at the end of the cannon, and then under the huge real aerodynamic energy, I saw the winch locked, the steel chain pulled, and there was a loud noise, and the entire cannon body was suddenly shortened - it was the rear of the cannon that slammed forward, so that the folded part in the middle was folded up at once, and at the same time, there was a push rod at the tail that stretched out the folded gun chamber, and a shell was directly pushed out.

The source of the loud sound is the collision of the front and rear cannon bodies, which is full of metallic impact compared to the explosion of gunpowder......

As for the effect?

Well, the cannonballs fired are about the same as solid shells......

The only difference from the artillery was that after the experimental cavalry approached, the True Qi Artillery skillfully removed the predecessor of the cannon and replaced it with a fan-shaped, obviously mechanical muzzle!

This time, the barrel was shortened from the start, and when the ramrod was pushed out, it was pushed into the bracket structure at the front end.

The true qi output is not as violent as before, but it is more durable, which makes the fan-shaped muzzle continuously shoot waves of arrows, one round can shoot thirty-six short arrows, and the built-in filling structure of the muzzle can fill six rounds of arrows in a row......

The firepower was indeed very fierce, and the experimental cavalry was almost crushed!

The number of cavalry that eventually rushed into the security line was about the same as when facing the artillery......

Although because of the previous example of artillery, the generals were much less surprised, and they were more able to focus on the performance of the true qi cannon, and analyzed the pros and cons of the two under the seemingly similar results, but ...... After Huang Yueying gave a specific introduction to the cost of the True Qi Cannon, the generals were silent.

It is undeniable that the True Gas Cannon does have its advantages, especially the fact that it can use the True Gas Furnace as the driving force to drive the gun cart to move, which is a great advantage.

But......

The cost of the real air cannon is more than ten times that of the artillery, and the durability is only one-third of the artillery!

The control of the real gas furnace is also not simpler than the control of gunpowder and reloading, that is, the training cost of the two types of artillery is comparable.

As for the cost of refilling the True Gas Furnace, it is also better than gunpowder, especially if you want to use the locomotive function, the battle will be very hard, it seems to be ...... It's better to push it yourself!

Even in terms of preservation, True Qi has an advantage over gunpowder - after all, True Qi furnaces don't have to worry about getting wet, and ...... A large amount of true qi is in the body of a general in the army, which is a potential store.

But it's hard to convince everyone to accept it!

After all, if you choose a true gas cannon, it means that the equipment rate is much lower than that of artillery, and it also needs to be charged with a general, and in continuous long-term battles, it is not as good as gunpowder resistance, and the advantage is completely covered......

Everyone's face has already explained the result.

In fact, Bai Tu also knows that the reason why Huang Yueying thinks that the "artillery" item is that she has lost, in fact, there is a more fundamental reason - under the guidance of Bai Tu, the continued development of artillery is at least directional.

And Huang Yueying's True Qi Machine Cannon is still a mechanism technique at its root, but it has more True Qi Furnace as a kinetic energy provider......

In terms of large-scale killing ordnance, Huang Yueying has fallen into a bottleneck.

In other words, unless progress continues in energy, Huang Yueying is very vague about the development direction of the True Qi machine gun.

So on the "cannon", Huang Yueying had no choice but to sigh and temporarily seal the project of the real gas machine gun.

However, in the next item, the "musket vs real air gun" exercise, Huang Yueying is full of confidence!

The generals didn't expect that there would be the next item - after all, the previous "cannon" was already amazing enough.

At first, it was said that it was a "gun", and everyone thought it was a long weapon, but after really seeing it, they found that the long was indeed long, and the musket was equipped with a three-edged thorn in front of it, which was used as a short gun, which was indeed not impossible......

The real air gun is much shorter, but it is also similar to the ordinary Chu knife.

And the biggest role of the "gun" is actually a long-range attack!

This time, Gao Shun did not need to command the experimental soldiers, but directly took 100 people each, and the two armies faced each other!

The side that uses the musket is still Xu Shu, and the side that uses the real air gun is replaced by Pang Tong.

Huang Yueying is not good at directing soldiers and ...... Everyone is about to forget, and even many people don't know that Pang Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is actually a master of strategy and tactics, and he is a little surprised to see him appear on the test ground.

This time, there are only 100 people on both sides - of course, they are all Ji Zao soldiers, this is a real sword and a real gun, an ordinary general...... Knives and guns have no eyes!

There is only one Gao Shun, an ordinary first-class general, that is, the level of a hundred Ji Zao soldiers.

Especially Pang Tong and Xu Shu, both strategist-type generals, who did not rely on their banners and directly commanded a hundred Ji Zao soldiers, which was already very amazing.

As for Xu Shu and Pang Tong himself, they both hid in the trench at this time - so as not to be injured by mistake.

The distance between the two armies was only five hundred meters, which made the generals breathe a sigh of relief, just now they thought that the range of the True Qi Crossbow would also be exceeded......

Especially when I saw that after the test began, both sides rushed forward at the same time, and I was even more relieved - this range was still much worse than that of the True Qi Crossbow.

When the distance between the two sides was about 300 meters, the real air gun side fell down collectively.

Because there is no artillery firepower to cooperate, and there are no fortifications, it is directly frontal to hedge, which seems more "cute (stupid)".

Pang Tong and Xu Shu also knew that the main thing was to demonstrate the musket and the real air gun, and they didn't do any tricks.

The style of the real air gun is still quite different from the musket, and it is generally a long strip, but it is much shorter than the musket.

Generally speaking, the part of the right hand grip is relatively bloated, and the right hand grip part is a cylinder with a diameter of ten inches, and the front end of the cylinder extends out of the slender and slender barrel about two feet long......

(To put it simply, please make up your hand for a larger version of the Dyson vacuum cleaner ^_^)

That's right, Huang Yueying absorbed the experience of the musket, and gradually made significant changes to the individual long-range weapons, which already looked more like a "gun"

The grip of the left hand is equally elongated, inserted into the part behind the slender barrel.

The bloated right-hand cylinder has the core of True Qi inside, as well as the bracket structure for ejection, and the slender grip of the left hand is also the magazine for reloading!

The lethal shot wounded about 300 meters, and ...... You can shoot six "bullets" in the magazine in a row!

After all, she was born as a repeater, and Huang Yueying has amazing skills and talent in the design of the repeating machine.

And the bullet fired by the real air gun, although there is no gunpowder part, is indeed similar to the bullet type, only longer, and there is still the shadow of a crossbow arrow......

In contrast, while the real air gun was lying down, Xu Shu also ordered the musketeers to lie down, but ...... In fact, the musketeers did not have any advantage at this distance, and even raised the muzzle slightly to shoot from the back.

Obviously, the range of the musket is closer than that of the true air gun, and the range of the true air gun is at least about the same as the true gas mode of the true air crossbow, while the musket is shorter.

However, since he can pull it out for a walk, at least Yu Ji has "solved" the problem of rear loading, so that the musketeers can lie down.

But......

Yu Ji's musket is obviously far inferior to the real rear-loading rifled guns in history, and the range is only about the same as that of smoothbore guns, and ...... A pair of glass lenses and a wood-fitting eye mask!

True, the problem of gunpowder and sealing, was not completely solved.

In terms of tightness, Yu Ji only imitated artillery and also used a bolt structure, but for the sake of reloading speed and cost, he did not dare to use a bolt that was too cumbersome.

As for the problem of gunpowder smoking the eyes......

Yu Ji said, although I can't make gunpowder not smoke, I can protect my eyes!

I have to say that after Yu Ji joined, the technology of firing glass has been greatly improved......

In general, Yu Ji's rear-loading rifled gun, currently ...... It is equivalent to a front-loading smoothbore gun that can be reloaded from the back, and otherwise has not improved significantly.

It's just more power to lie down, and it's not like a real rear-loading rifled gun, where the range and rate of fire soar several times!

In contrast, the rate of fire of the true airsoft is better than that of the musket - the real airsoft mainly requires a time interval to change the magazine, and the continuous fire of six bullets is basically one second at a time, but like the repeater, it is a pull of the trigger once, and it can only be fired until it is missed.

If you directly replace the new magazine after a round of shooting, it will take about fifteen seconds, that is, about three magazines per minute, and the rate of fire is three times that of the musket side, which is equivalent to the rate of fire of a real rear-loading needle pistol, not a copycat version of Yu Ji, but the range and power are still far less than the real rear-loading gun.

If you want to reload into the magazine, it will take about fifteen seconds more, which is still faster than Yu Ji's rear loading......

As for getting into melee?

Xu Shu and Pang Tong also specially demonstrated - the musket side is equipped with a three-edged thorn at the front end of the gun body, which can be used as a spear and stabbing shots, and the real air gun ...... In melee combat, it is the anti-muzzle part, and the heavy cylinder is picked up to swing, which is equivalent to a short-handled page hammer!
