Chapter 973: Extraordinary (Fourth Update)

Gathering the structures of many firearms, Ye Chunqiu sketched some structures with a pen. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The biggest role of the light brain is that it can avoid Ye Chunqiu from taking many detours, and the history of hundreds of years in later generations can become a lesson for Ye Chunqiu.

Take this small rear-loading gun as an example, what kind of rifling, what kind of design will expose what problems in reality, these are all precious information.

Naturally, although the design is easy, you can paint the tiger according to the cat, but if you don't take into account the factors of reality, it is completely impossible, after all, the craftsmanship level of the town is here, although you can because of the manufacture of firearms, and strive to break through some process problems, but there are some obstacles, if you want to break through, it will take time.

As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the same is true for the improvement of craftsmanship.

Therefore, some too difficult processes can only be avoided by trying their best to find an alternative solution, as for other mechanical structures such as triggers, magazines, operating levers, springs, etc., they are actually quite simple.

The crux of the problem is also the bullet, if you want to use the kind of high-precision bullet in later generations, it is obviously impossible, but how to overcome the bullet technology standards of the Civil War period, there are many problems, many people always think that from scratch, make a thing, can change the world.

But in fact, this is not the case at all, in the history of mankind, there are many kinds of inventions and creations that are amazing, but unfortunately, the vast majority of so-called inventions have disappeared in the long river of history.

Because from scratch, you can certainly have an idea, and then find a few skilled craftsmen, spare no money, and create a new thing.

But no matter how beautiful it may be, and how useful it may be, let us not forget that it is only created by a skilled craftsman with a lot of effort, and it may be useful, but it is expensive.

This kind of thing, in fact, is the same as the emperor's crown of heaven, which seems exquisite, but in fact, it is useless.

At least in Ye Chunqiu's dictionary, his creation in this era is mainly practical, it is easy to produce, but it is difficult to produce on a large scale, and it is easy to invite a few skilled craftsmen to manufacture, but how to let craftsmen divide labor and manufacture on a large scale, and produce a set of inspection standards, and ensure that its price is within a reasonable and acceptable range, is very important.

If you want to make a bullet, it will take a day, spend a tael of silver, and then eggs, such a bullet, it is estimated that every time a bullet is fired, Ye Chunqiu will want to cry.

Therefore, in addition to the so-called excerpts of some good design methods of later generations, Ye Chunqiu also needs to consult countless materials to study the process of craftsmanship and some alternative methods of precious materials. Even some designs have to be modified and simplified in light of current production levels.

This is definitely a time-consuming and labor-intensive job, and fortunately, he is in the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and he lives a life without leaving the door, uh...... In fact, he just wanted to go out, but it was not easy to be afraid, because he was surrounded by people outside.

So he simply threw all his troubles out of the clouds, what Liu Fang, what Jinyiwei, what Liu Jin, what King Zhou, these have nothing to do with him for the time being, he calmed down, and repeatedly conceived various feasible plans in his mind.

Large-scale manufacturing, you must have tools, the current level of steelmaking, but barely acceptable, especially the barrel, the barrel for the material requirements are extremely high, gunpowder in the chamber instantly burst out of huge power, if the steel is not good, it is very easy to cause the explosion of the chamber and the deformation of the barrel, which is why the current guns are often thicker, some of the guns are finger thick, that's it, the filling is only black powder, if it is more powerful gunpowder, this inferior steel can not support at all.

But alloy steel solves this problem very well, and as for the rifling in the barrel, it is also a difficulty.

Ye Chunqiu sometimes sat on the sofa without saying a word, meditating and thinking hard, sometimes consulting the information in his light brain for comparison, and sometimes sitting on the desk and drawing one draft after another.

And every draft, Ye Chunqiu will not discard it at will, he will carefully collect it, even if it is finalized in the future, these drafts will be sent to the research institute, after all, for those researchers, even if it is a failed design, it may be an opportunity to learn.

The manufacture of firearms is obviously not something that can be done by a single unit, which involves the chemical industry related to gunpowder, in addition to mechanical and metallurgy, and even the processing of wooden tools.

Ye Chunqiu was even thinking that when he solved the current trouble, he would organize a multi-departmental research discussion, which would also allow everyone in the institute to participate extensively.

Ye Chunqiu understands very well that learning from each other and exploring each other is often easy to open a new door to others.

After staying here for a few days, Ye Chunqiu was not idle at all, the manuscripts had already piled up, and the messenger took care of Ye Chunqiu meticulously, but at noon on the third day, the messenger suddenly came over and said: "Zhenguo Gong, the British Duke wants to see Zhen Guogong, and it will be there in half an hour." ”

Zhang Mao is coming?

After being silent for less than three days, the British Duke suddenly appeared, which made Ye Chunqiu's heart a little surprised.

For this British duke, although there was no deep friendship in the past, Ye Chunqiu was very familiar with his background, this British duke came from a big background, but after the general Zhang Yu of Jingnan, because of his brilliant military achievements, he was named a duke by Emperor Wen, and then his son Zhang Fu inherited the title, this person's ability is also extraordinary, he organized a war against Annam, and then participated in the Tumubao Change, and died in the Tumubao Change.

Zhang Mao, that is, inherited Zhang Fu's title in this huge change, at that time, Zhang Mao's age was younger than the current Ye Chunqiu, and because of his father and grandfather, one died in the battle of Jingnan, and the other died in Tumubao, which is the saddest family in Daming, and there is no one. Therefore, Zhang Mao has almost been valued by three generations of emperors, and all of them trust him.

It's just that...... Why did the English Duke come to see him at this time?

Ye Chunqiu pursed his lips with suspicion in his heart, but he was silent, he knew very well that next, a good show was about to begin.

He answered the service, dressed himself up, and collected all his drafts, and waited patiently in his room.

Zhang Mao was really punctual, and the hourglass in the room was exactly half an hour later, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then someone pushed the door in.

I saw Zhang Mao dressed in a python suit and walked into the room with a majestic face.
