Chapter 180: Might

The craftsmen who had brought the tools began to move, and the parts were also hoisted, and the first thing to do was to fix the new gun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

At this time, everyone was very serious, and Ye Chunqiu was just watching from the sidelines, so he was silent.

The person in charge of the water division is called Wang Xiong, he is a show talent, one of the first people to join the new army of the town country, he used to be Wang Shouren's right-hand man, but now he is in charge of the affairs of the new army of the town country, to a certain extent, he knows nothing about the water division, but in this era, there is no one who is proficient in the water division, but fortunately, with the hand-in-hand teaching of these Francois people, Wang Xiong simply follows the ass of Nayes every day, meticulously learning.

It is said that when the students of the sailor just got on the boat for drill, nearly half of these people were landlubbers, and when they arrived on the boat, they vomited and diarrhea, and they couldn't even stand firmly, and now after two months of training, they finally got a lot better, and now, this Wang Xiong is standing beside Ye Chunqiu, talking to Ye Chunqiu in a low voice.

The artillery has been test-fired on land countless times, and the environment on the ship has been simulated, but Wang Xiong still has some worries about the actual test firing on the ship, if something happens, it will be inappropriate after all.

Because of this, Wang Xiong still repeatedly hoped that Ye Chunqiu would get off the ship, and experiment first.

Ye Chunqiu just pursed his lips and smiled, but his eyes fell on the craftsman, this 'Qinhuang' uses the most popular porthole gun of the Franc machine, which was invented by the French in six or seven years, and soon became popular, and the design of the Qinhuang can be described as leading.

Craftsmen began to fix the cannon, the barrel of the new artillery is very long, and relatively thin, thanks to the continuous improvement of alchemy technology, you must know that the steel of this era is often primitive, can not withstand the explosion of gunpowder in the chamber, so in order to prevent the explosion of the chamber, often the barrel is made extremely thick, so that the cannon is too bulky, but the more bulky the gun on the ship, the greater the recoil.

The barrel of the new artillery, the use of medium carbon, nickel, chromium, platinum alloy steel, the biggest feature of this steel is to withstand the instantaneous pressure and high temperature in the chamber, under this premise, the thinner the barrel, the better, in the elimination of the danger of explosion at the same time, try to make it 'light and thin', and its style, and the cannon has the same idea, most of the barrel is longer, so that the range and accuracy of the gun have been improved, the barrel is probably the rifling process of the rifle, the same is the rear loading shell.

In order to absorb the shock, Ye Chunqiu also padd a lot of rubber on the base of the cannon, after covering the insulator, and in addition, it was a cannonball.

The cannonball is a 'grenade' used in later generations, of course, compared to its predecessors, this kind of cannonball is much rougher, but fortunately, the cannonball is larger, and it belongs to a large bullet, which makes Ye Chunqiu because of the limited process problem, so he uses Mini bullets, but directly casts the real meaning of the cannonball.

The so-called grenade has another name called 'flowering bomb'. This kind of shell is the use of fragments and shock waves generated after the projectile explosion to kill or blast, the most disgusting thing about this kind of shell is that it is filled with not only yellow powder, but also countless steel balls, once exploded, immediately the shell is decomposed by the powerful gunpowder, forming countless fragments mixed with steel balls to explode, can completely cover the distance of more than ten zhang nearby, once the shell lands, it means that all living things within the ten zhang will be torn apart by countless shrapnel and steel balls, belonging to a large-scale lethal weapon.

Originally, on the ship, Ye Chunqiu should not have used this kind of grenade, after all, the most important thing in naval warfare is to break the armor, and it is only right to sink the opponent, and the lethality is not the goal.

However, after repeated research, Ye Chunqiu still chose this kind of 'cut off children and grandchildren' bomb, the reason is very simple, if the grenade is in the era of iron ships three hundred years later, it may not have any armor-breaking effect, after all, the steel-wrapped hull is difficult to cause great damage if it is not a special shell, but now, it is ...... But it's the era of wooden ships.

This kind of cross-era product, not only disgusting to the extreme, extremely lethal, the real horror is that it is indestructible, any wooden warship, can be easily torn apart by it, it can be said that the current grenade probably has all the functions in the current era, that is, mass destruction, causing fire, armor breaking.

Ye Chunqiu also thought about making recoilless artillery, but thinking of the limitations of the conditions, he finally gave up, and instead adopted some improved schemes, trying his best to reduce the recoil, such as reducing the 'power' of the artillery, but even so, with a grenade, it can still completely cause a crushing effect.

The gun was fixed on the side porthole, and a sailor pulled the noose and opened the side porthole, and the gun was violently pushed out of the porthole, and the dark muzzle appeared in the hull, and at this time, Ye Chunqiu said to Ye Si, the adjutant of the Franco Sailor Division, who accompanied him: ". ”

Ye Si looked at this novel artillery in amazement, still in astonishment, and when he heard Ye Chunqiu's order, he retracted his mind, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran to the deck and gave an order.

Suddenly, the sailors on the entire Qinhuang suddenly began to get busy, testing the wind direction, anchoring, sailing, turning the rudder, under the wind, the big ship began to slowly row across the sea, slowly sailing towards the direction of the open sea.

Artillery testing in the open sea is not only confidential, but also for safety, think about it, if this artillery comes from the offshore sea like this, what deviation will occur, and the consequences are unimaginable for Ye Chunqiu.

Ye Chunqiu's physique is excellent, so although it is the first time to really sit on this ship, he does not feel dizzy, from the gun cabin to the deck, under the support of the sailors and officials, he went to the bow of the ship, looking at the sea and sky in the distance, the blue sea water and the blue sky seem to be connected together, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Occasionally, seagulls hover over the boat, not afraid of the boat, and even skimming at low altitudes, as if mocking the slow speed of the big ship.

The puffed sails rattled, and the speed of the ship gradually increased, and when I looked back, I saw that the mainland was getting farther and farther away, and finally only a black mass remained.

Ye Chunqiu was a little excited, under his feet, there was an ocean, and this ocean was the way out for himself and this nation.

Wang Meng, the sailor battalion officer, and Ye Si, the adjutant who were standing on the side, quietly looked at Ye Chunqiu, and saw a warm smile on Ye Chunqiu's face, just like this early autumn season.

The navigator with the compass and the charts had roughly determined the direction, and after more than an hour, a student came panting and said, "Tell the teacher, the place has arrived." ”
