Chapter 167: The Cannon of the Strong Ship (Part 3)

At noon, everyone ate on the boat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ye Chunqiu sat down in the dining cabin with everyone, and someone brought some fish food, but Ye Chunqiu was not in a hurry to move the chopsticks, and suddenly said to a shipwright: "What will happen if the ship's artillery increases its power?" ”

"How much?" This Francophile took great pains to understand Ye Chunqiu's words, and then looked at Ye Chunqiu with awe.

Ye Chunqiu was silent for a moment before he said, "Use my Ming Dynasty's latest gunpowder." ”

The eyes of this Francophile opened slightly, and he was suddenly confused.

He immediately thought of the grenade, that little thing, the power can be described as amazing, he has even seen researchers from other institutes in the research institute experiment with the power of this thing, every time the ground shakes.

It's just that...... This guy named Mourinho and Han's name is Ye Mu, and his brain is a little short-circuited at this time.

He looked at Ye Chunqiu cautiously, feeling that the brain hole of this 'father' who loved 'science' was too big, and he almost didn't hesitate to say to Ye Chunqiu, "It's impossible." ”

In desperation, he used Portuguese.

For his hometown, it seems that he can't go back, and now he is hired by the Han people, in fact, his life is quite comfortable, and Ye Mu has slowly begun to adapt to this stability from the initial fear.

In this era, at least in Franco, nationalism is not prevalent, there, you may be Portuguese today, tomorrow your king may have no heirs, maybe a Spaniard or the heir of the Habsburg family of Austria will become your king, since Ye Chunqiu is willing to pay enough salary to give them a stable life in Daming, then at the moment, the wisest choice is to forget the past and work here happily, and even Ye Mu has no intention of going back to Franco, after all, he is not a nobleman, He used to be just a shipwright, and even if he went back, his life would be terrible because of the fiasco of this expedition.

Ye Mu then explained to Ye Chunqiu: "This is completely infeasible, such a powerful gunpowder, once used on a ship, the power it generates is enough to ...... ...... "He wanted to say 'Prince Enrique' in passing, but he thought that the ship already had a new owner, so he tried to recall the new name of the ship, and then said with difficulty: "It is enough to blow up the gun bay of the Qinhuang, so this is the best plan at the moment, and it has been verified countless times......"

The more powerful it is, the faster it will die.

That's what Ye Mu is trying to say.

He felt that his 'father' was taking risks, and felt that he knew nothing about ships, if he could install powerful guns on ships, in fact, in the Kingdom of Portugal, there were also some 'big guys', such as the guns on the batteries, which often weighed thousands of pounds, and the amount of gunpowder loaded was also amazing, so it was needless to say that the power was naturally needless to say.

In his concept, ships can only use light cannons, otherwise the consequences will be very serious, and he does not want this ship to be blown up into the sky by his own gunpowder, especially the amazing power of Han gunpowder.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but wonder, seeing that Ye Mu still wanted to continue explaining, Ye Chunqiu said: "What you want to say, is it recoil?" ”

Although Ye Mu couldn't accurately understand the meaning of Ye Chunqiu's words, he could guess the general meaning, and he hurriedly nodded: "Yes, otherwise...... Bang......" He exaggerated his hand towards the void and made an exaggerated gesture.

Ye Chunqiu nodded, then picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite of the braised sea fish, the taste was ...... Feeling weird, I put down my chopsticks again.

And the others didn't move their chopsticks anymore, they were all looking at Ye Chunqiu, listening to the 'controversy' between Ye Chunqiu and Ye Mu.

At this time, Ye Chunqiu said again: "What if there is no recoil?" Or rather, to minimize recoil? ”

Ye Mu couldn't help frowning, looking very puzzled, and said, "What did you say?" ”

He really didn't understand, how could the artillery have no recoil? It's just a joke.

Ye Chunqiu knew what he was thinking from his face, smiled, and then said, "If there is no recoil, or rather, the recoil is reduced enough for the hull to withstand it, how much impact will it have on naval battles?" ”

Ye Mu saw that Ye Chunqiu was serious, and what Ye Chunqiu said was just a hypothetical question, so he hurriedly said: "If that's the case, then it's really remarkable." He pondered the words and continued: "If you can use a new type of gunpowder, the power is huge, and the range is enough to increase many times, which can be said to be invincible in naval warfare, and naturally ...... Want to eliminate recoil......"

Ye Mu didn't say what he said, but Ye Chunqiu understood, so he didn't continue to ask.

In the era of wooden warships, artillery is indeed subject to recoil, the stronger the power, the longer the range, it means that the ship itself is impacted by the greater force, if this problem can be solved, it means that the ship will really enter the era of strong ship cannons, in this era of still using gunpowder to launch iron balls, it is completely crushing.

In fact, there is indeed a weapon in later generations, called recoilless artillery, which mainly adopts the method of individual shoulder bearing, that is, a soldier can carry it and launch it, and this recoil can make a soldier bear, indicating that the recoil has been small to the point of negligibility.

Ye Chunqiu naturally had no interest in making any shoulder-mounted recoilless artillery, in fact, in terms of the existing technology and technology, Ye Chunqiu was afraid that he would not be able to make it, but this did not mean that Ye Chunqiu had given up the idea of using new gunpowder on ships.

In Ye Chunqiu's view, this standard of no recoil can be relaxed, try to eliminate recoil, and then use the latest artillery shell technology.

A bullet filled with gunpowder is difficult to make, but it is much easier to make than a shell ten or twenty times larger.

Ye Chunqiu roughly understood the structure of the recoilless gun, and its structure was quite simple, not complicated, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

So after lunch, he got off the boat, and took people to stay in Tianjin Weili, and that night, Ye Chunqiu drew a general structure without recoil and handed it to the accompanying researchers to study and discuss.

He is now more just doing the work of inspiration, these researchers have enough experience, and they are becoming more and more proficient in the structure of machinery, often Ye Chunqiu's sketch opens a new door for them, and then, they can roughly produce experimental products according to the sketch, and then continue to debug and improve, so that Ye Chunqiu's idea has been realized into a real object after countless feasibility studies.
