Gossip aside, for the Imperial Capital Mission actually has its own ghosts, if it weren't for the analysis made with Sophia and Livett the day before, Qin Shouzhuo would have been greatly surprised, but after realizing that the water in this is unfathomable, Qin Shouzhuo calmed down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 It is indeed difficult to understand so many twists and turns, but Qin Shouzhuo has always believed in a little teaching handed down by his ancestors: striking iron needs to be hard.

If the Barony of Babia really becomes a decisive force, no matter how deep this water is, it dares to wade unscrupulously.

Consciously grasping the essence of the matter, Qin Shouzhuo looked at the pending documents on the table, but he couldn't stand it anymore. Ordered all the documents to be sent to Sophia's office, Qin Shouzhuo secretly said 'sorry', and entered the factory with two attachés.

The Babia Industrial Complex, which is a huge complex of buildings that was born earlier than Babia City. In other words, the so-called Babia City was actually formed by the continuous gathering of departments and people who provided various services to the workers of the Babia industrial complex. In the defense outline of the Barony of Babia, the Babia Industrial Complex factory, which is a special category of targets with a higher priority than Babia City, is marked with blood-like red, and the places in Babia City, including the Baron's Palace, are outside the red circle and are sacrificial targets.

The part along the river that is circled in red also includes the dock and the dam. The dock is natural, in Qin Shouzhuo's plan, the dock will be the largest user of steel in the Babiya Iron and Steel Plant, after all, the goal of Babiya Steel is to produce 8 million tons of steel per year, and the goal of the dock is to reach 2 million tons of shipbuilding per year, although both are still satellites now.

In the dock of the current Babiya Shipyard, there are twelve armed merchant ships of 2,200 tons lying on the masts, and Qin Shouzhuo is preparing to carry out a major overhaul of them, but the opportunity for the overhaul is a thing only the size of a fingernail - a fire cap. Although it is small and has a simple function, it has a very large role.

Speaking of cannons, it is natural to talk about cannonballs, and then it is always inseparable from such a thing as a primer, originally, it is excellent to use thundermercury or lead azide, but in this place that lacks a chemical foundation, it is too difficult to mass-produce these two things, Qin Shouzhuo had to pin his goal on a new research and development project, which finally came to fruition recently.

This is a piece of lumpy gunpowder wrapped in paper, in addition to the common gunpowder components, it is also mixed with 11.5% magic crystal powder, under the impact of the firing pin, it is very easy to explode, can produce a higher combustion temperature than the original earth fire cap, ignite the propellant, and the reliability is very good. The successful development of this primer mixed with magic crystal powder means that the last obstacle to Qin Shouchou's artillery plan has been cleared and the trial production of artillery can begin.

Since it was Qin Shouchou's established plan, after the success of one stage, there was no need to report and approve at all, and the second stage was directly started, and the construction of related factories was also put on the agenda. As a result, a personnel application report was handed over to Qin Shouzhuo's eyes again. The undermanpower state of the city of Babia seems to continue to be heretical for a considerable period of time.

After talking with Angel Saintess, Qin Shouzhuo found this from the pile of documents at a glance, "Infantry Support Firepower Development Plan - Code 75 Project", which plans to develop an infantry support gun with a caliber of 75mm, weighing less than 300kg, and the barrel length is 9 times the caliber. That's right, this is based on the most classic support weapon of the army of an island country during World War II, the Type 92 infantry gun, which was magically modified. And a further 100mm cannon is also in the plan, yes, Qin Shouzhuo plans to get the D10 series artillery out as well.

Of course, the successful development of the new gunpowder cannon only solved the problem of the difficulty of laying the magic transmission pipeline, and the two layers of artillery decks were arranged on the modified armed merchant ship, with 28 guns on one side, but the problem of fire control was still not solved. It is still relatively early to appear on the Blue Star to shoot the commander or something, but this needs to rely on a certain level of electronic and automation technology, although it is not high, but it is obviously not the original Elis world can do.

As a result, there was a strange thing about flying 18th-century galleons with rear-loading smoothbore guns on both sides.

Regarding the change of the 92 infantry cannon to the devil, and then take it to the sky to fight an air battle, Qin Shouzhuo actually resisted, after all, this kind of short-barreled howitzer, the shell speed is slow, the trajectory is curved, and the firing range is also very close, and it is the life of the squadron to directly support on the ground, and it will be beaten by the opponent in minutes, after all, the maximum range is less than 3000 meters. Fortunately, because of the lack of fire control technology, the normal combat distance of the world's mainstream air warships is only about 500 meters, and the 92-step gun can still be obtained.

The new 75mm grenade has also been successfully developed, and the new primer is very sensitive, which ensures the success rate of firing, but because it is too sensitive, when loading the shell, it needs to be manually installed after the reloading, and then the gun door is closed. Qin Shouzhuo successfully restored the method of making cotton wool and got the smokeless gunpowder out, which is very good as a propellant, the key is that the smoke produced by combustion is very small, not like black powder, maroon gunpowder, etc., a row of cannons is fired, and nothing can be seen.

The explosives of the artillery shells are Alfang explosives, which are simple to prepare, easy to obtain raw materials, easy to mass-produce, and have reached the level of military explosives, which is the most suitable design at this stage. With the newly developed collision tube, the main structure of the grenade that exploded on the ground was completed. Due to the reliability of the signal tube, the fuse was installed before the shell was loaded to avoid the problem of accidental explosion of the shell, and the firing rate of the fuse could not exceed 80%, but for the time being, it was enough.

There was no problem with the design of the artillery, there was no problem with the design of the shells, almost all of them were mature designs, and the huge production capacity of the Babia Iron and Steel Industrial Complex exploded, and 12 experimental models were completed in just one week, and the tests began immediately. At the beginning of the test, the production line did not stop, but maintained the basic production capacity, and while manufacturing, the design was revised based on the feedback from the test. In the process of continuous tinkering, the performance of the latest version of the 75mm howitzer has increased by 50%-120% compared with the earliest trial model. It can be said that apart from the appearance of the same, there is nothing that is the same between the two guns.

The most important thing is that the ballistic stability at a distance of 800m has achieved a qualitative leap. Why 800m? Because this is the range of engagement of the flying fleet that Qin Shouzhuo prescribed.

Of course, Qin Shouzhuo never thought that artillery could cover everything, even if he came up with an excellent artillery such as the 75MMK1 type, which at a certain level could cover everything. Qin Shouzhuo will not put the hope of victory on any kind of weapon, the ancestor said well, war is a confrontation between people in the final analysis, and a good weapon can gain an advantage, but it cannot achieve victory. In addition, there is a limit to a single weapon after all, and a war is a system composed of countless weapons, and only by using excellent weapons and equipment that conform to the war system can we achieve ultimate victory.

In order to allow artillery to bomb to the fullest, it is natural to need excellent line infantry to maintain the line, and the research and development of excellent infantry equipment is naturally the top priority. Compared to the Illis Continent, which was still in the era of cold weapons, Qin Shouchou's eyes were naturally on firearms, inertial thinking, after all, Blue Star's firearms had completely eliminated cold weapons, and they were so terrifying when they developed later.

Then, Qin Shouzhuo miscalculated again.

Bronze gunpowder cannons or something, this world actually invented it early, but why did it be eliminated early? The early bronze cannon was not powerful enough, and the accuracy depended on faith, and it was very troublesome to load, because the casting technology was not up to par, the success rate of making cannons depended on God. That's it, and finally made a cannon with a caliber the size of a bowl, and it only had a solid bullet. A bowl-sized stone ball or iron ball is shot out, if the opposite side is a soft persimmon, it doesn't matter, in case you run into a high-level samurai or a high-ranking magician who is not strong but not too weak, unless the other party is a sneak attack, at most it will be sent flying, and you can clean up your artillery position by running back.

Since the invention of magic cannons, dwarf cannons have been eliminated almost immediately, and the dwarf cannon craftsmen who have been active in various countries and regions have all switched back to the casting of traditional cold weapons in less than 3 years, and human beings did not have such a large casting manufacturing capacity at that time, and each of the dwarf cannons that have been handed down to this day is an antique and has a good commemorative significance.

Nothing but commemorative significance.

There are cannons, and naturally there are guns. The dwarven musket, what a familiar term, how otherworldly, but it didn't have much bird use. The primitive Dwarven Musket was not powerful enough, and the explosion was more powerful than ever when mixed with magic crystals, but it was often stuck in the muscles and bones after hitting the target from 300 meters away. During the Blue Star's Eagle Civil War, there was a situation where a commander was hit 6 times and still brandished a command knife to command the battle, and this problem reached the other world, and with the enhancement of human physical fitness, it was further amplified.

In addition, the accuracy is not very good, if you want to hit the enemy, in addition to the distance, you must remember to pray often, hoping that the light god will give face, and the other party will be unlucky.

In the end, the dwarven musket was reduced to a disposable item filled with iron sand or something, just to paste the other party's face before contact, and the real victory still depended on the steel knives and battle axes in the hands of the warriors.

Under the attack of many parties, the firearm has completely declined, so that even the dwarves are reluctant to mention it again, and even the manufacturing method is about to be lost, and the new generation of dwarves are not willing to learn this useless technology at all, except for a few particularly old dwarves, only some information about this technology remains.
