Chapter 160: Improving the Mother and Child Cannon

But looking at these things, Xiao Maoqiu, who has already refined the elixir, knows very well the importance of the ratio here, so if you want to know the best ratio of this new prescription, there is only one way, experiment! Experimenting over and over again. These things go from one-to-one to one-to-one, to one-to-two, there is almost no shortcut, and they can only do painful cycle experiments over and over again, in their opinion, as long as they persist, they will be able to find the best ratio, and then they can be made in batches!!

In order to speed up the progress of the test, the friends will make dozens of cylinders in advance filled with various proportions of gunpowder, and then ignite one by one to record the distance of the stone pushed out by the explosion, sometimes they find that the cylinder has burst due to too many explosions, then this test has to be repeated, but there are really several times in which the new cylinder is replaced, and the first test has burst, so such a formula must be strictly recorded and studied.

After thousands of boring cycle tests, the friends finally found the best matching scheme at present, because the time is limited, it should be more detailed, but there is no time at present. Let's do it first. This is the decision made by the little hairball after hearing the news that there are bandits near Xiangyin Mountain again, they have no time to see each other, and they have to step up mass production.

Although the ratio of this gunpowder is set, do you really want to make the kind of fire gun in the book? The little hairball shook his head, Sun Liar was right, after each shot, you have to recharge and put in the lead pellet, this speed is too slow and you are afraid of rain, no! There must be some simple way to be lazy. The little furball held his head and thought for a long time, quick! Fast! can't be rubbed anymore, the more anxious the little furball is, the more unable to find the answer.

Little Furball suddenly had an idea, could she have filled these pills in advance? So what should you use? Xiao Maoqiu put forward this idea, Sun Liar, Xiao Feng, and Da Zhu expressed their opinions, some people said that you can open an opening on the top of the fire pipe, and then make a small cylinder and put it in the opening, and inside the small cylinder is the gunpowder that has been placed in advance, so that when you need it, you can directly put the small cylinder on it and put a little fire.

When the little hairball heard it, this idea is good, but how small should the cylinder be, and this one by one is put out and then replaced, does it not affect the speed?

Let's try it first! So everyone worked together, opened a rectangular hole in the middle and back of the cylinder, and then made a small cylinder, just enough to put it in, but when the lead shot was put in, the little hairball hesitated, and a question suddenly jumped into its head, that is, why use lead shots?

When Sun Liar heard this, he quickly touched the little fox's head with his hand, and then touched his own head again, and asked suspiciously: "It's not hot, why are you talking nonsense?" What to put without lead shots? Do you want to set off fireworks? ”

As soon as Xiao Maoqiu heard it, he knew that this was Sun Liar who had misunderstood him, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't say anything about it, I just wanted why the head of the spear wasn't round?" ”

When Sun Liar heard this, he was even more angry, "Nonsense, can you stab people to death if you are round?" "Then why do we use round lead shots?" When the sun liar heard this, he covered his face, hey! The little fox didn't know whether it was really stupid or fake, so he explained: "When the lead pellet is blown out, who knows how many heels it will break during the flight, so you can only use a round one!" ”

When the little furball heard this, he waved his hand, "No." The power of the round lead shot is too small, and I don't do it. And if you look at it again, the cylinder inside this is made, and you just put the lead shot on it, what should you do when it rains? Is it waterproof? This one doesn't work! "This hasn't been tested yet, and it was suddenly denied by the little furball.

So what to do? The little hairball slapped his thigh and suddenly opened up, made a small one, chiseled through the back of the cylinder, and stuffed it from behind, and the two things should be tightly fitted, this matter has to find the third one. As soon as Gai Laosan heard that Xiao Maoqiu had something to look for him again, he squatted aside and immediately got up when he heard the sound, and excused himself: "I can't do this iron-striking job." The little furball waved his hand, "Who made you hit the iron?" Lets you draw. Sun Liar, you will follow the number of the inner and outer cylinders to me accurately, and let the blacksmith shop make them according to the drawing, and there must be no deviation.

You also changed the lead pellet to me like a spearhead. But what Little Furball didn't expect was that there was news from the blacksmith shop that it was too demanding to do!

So everyone rushed to the blacksmith shop and discussed all kinds of things. The man from the blacksmith shop said: "I won't hide it from you, the situation has been unstable recently, so the amount of iron ingots and King Kong is too large, and the market is a little tight. The little furball and the others consulted with the blacksmith again.

In the end, the blacksmith's proposal was, "Switch to copper, you should be able to buy a lot now, and copper is much simpler in refining than King Kong, and the accuracy you want can be as close as possible." "Money is naturally not a problem, as long as there is nothing to do with spiritual power and combat on the market now, it has plummeted all the way, including the copper needed. Erniang sent a large number of copper ingots to the cowshed.

Now that the copper is there, the next step is the processing step. Little furballs, they are spinning back and forth in this blacksmith shop and testing ground. After countless explosion tests, the result is that the cylinder in the middle is getting smaller and smaller, although it is still ignited and fired, but as the accuracy of the inner and outer cylinders becomes higher and higher, the flight of the gun head becomes more and more stable. But it was also after this test that the little furball finally found that it seemed that it was better to use King Kong on the outside of the cylinder, otherwise it would be blown up and deformed in two clicks.

But the next problem is ignition, is there no other way to ignite the fire? Sun Liar sneered on the side, "Aren't you still afraid of the rain after a long time?" Once damp, you don't like this thing and become an ornament? ”

Yes, how can this problem be solved? Think of another way. The little furball remembered that the stone roller can make this thing explode, so it means that as long as it is rubbed or pressed, it can be saved. In this case, the small hairball experiments with the hammer hit, and sure enough, sometimes it can be done, and sometimes it can't, and how to solve this? When you can't go to the battlefield, each person will be given a hammer and knocked one by one!

The matter has to be solved in two parts, the first is to solve the problem of always failing after the blow, and the second is to solve the problem of how to avoid such a stupid hammer.

Usually firestones are used for ignition, and there is a possibility of sparks when two hearthstones rub back and forth. So the little furball threw a piece of Hearthstone to the blacksmith and asked him to petrify the hearth. When the blacksmiths heard this, they were all blinded, and they had all heard of copper, iron, and diamonds, but no one had ever heard of the furnace stone!

And Xiao Maoqiu brought a new drawing this time, and after repeated discussions, Xiao Maoqiu asked Gai Laosan to draw a new drawing and take a new name.

Originally, there was a big cylinder with an open mouth on the outside, and then a small cylinder with gunpowder placed on the opening, in fact, it was also described in the Westward Journey Experience, that thing was called "sub-mother cannon", the big cylinder on the outside was the mother cannon, and the inside was the sub-cannon. Whereas, it is a lead pellet that is used to fire, called a projectile. So what is the name of this small cylinder in order to appear unique, pretending to be 13, and high-grade? It's better to take one word each, so there are three options of "sub-lead, bullet, and sub-pill".

In the end, Sun Liar slapped his head and decided on the option of bullets. So the name of this new drawing is called, Bullet Drawing. The shell of the bullet is made of brass, with a circular hole at the bottom, which requires a blacksmith to dissolve the furnace and pour it here to perfect it. This is very simple for a blacksmith's shop, where the furnace stone is cut into discs of a specified size, then inlaid in the holes, and heated continuously, as long as the temperature is well controlled, the two will be perfectly integrated in a short time.

The small hairball that got the bullet shell was thinly spread the processed hearthstone powder on the bottom of the bullet shell, and then a layer of fire lin powder was spread on top, and then the gunpowder made with a new prescription was laid layer by layer, and then gently tamped with a small round stick wrapped in linen. And this requires the insertion of a bullet, so how can this warhead be inserted perfectly?

Because the little furball has found from previous experiments that the more perfectly these things are combined, the more powerful they will be. For this may be able to make the sealing effect a little better, the little friends started to think about the experiment without sleeping, and kept flipping through the Westward Journey Record, and at this moment the friends found that all kinds of strange theories described in this Westward Journey Record seemed to be exactly what they could use.

Suddenly, the little furball saw a story about the inlay technique, about a craftsman who wanted to inlay a jewel into the top of a bronze Buddha's head, and the method he used was to find two wizards successively, one used the flame copper Buddha's forehead, and the other used ice spells on the orb, and then something magical happened, the originally uninlaid orb really seemed to be shrinking, and the top of the bronze Buddha's head seemed to be enlarged. In this way, the orb is perfectly set into it.

This story has given everyone a little bit of inspiration, maybe this method can be done. So everyone started to roast this small hairball with fire, but they didn't dare, they were really looking for death by doing this. But hot water is always fine, find a shallow square basin, pour water into it, heat it until the water boils, and then place the gunpowder cartridge case in it, but do not let the water sink into the cartridge case. Then find a good warhead, and the warhead can really be easily inserted into the shell.

When the bullet is taken out and cooled, I pull it out with my hand, but I really can't pull it out. It's done! The first step was successful. Then the next step is to solve the problem of hammers.

The little furball began to hold his head and meditate again. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and one of the westward experiences scattered on the side was blown by the wind and turned the pages around, and finally stopped at an anecdote, which was a record of the seven-faced Buddha in a temple in the ancient Yue Kingdom, and the seven faces of the seven-faced Buddha represented "joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise".

As the believer sincerely kowtows, the seven-faced Buddha will turn, in fact, it is a device formed by bending the diamond wire, and the Buddha statue will rotate by stimulating this device. The little hairball had an idea, why don't you make one according to the gourd painting scoop?

The little furball once again pulled the reluctant Sun liar over. To say that Sun Liar is well-informed, he can see at a glance how the little furball is making this thing they say, and with the help of the blacksmiths, he made a similar thing in less than a day.
