183 Failed to build a gun

readx;

Zhao Qifeng and the others walked for a long time, and a large mound of dirt next to the pit suddenly moved, and soon a head wrapped in dust arched out, Fang Ruitao spat a few mouthfuls of soil foam and said: "Why is the power of this grenade so great, I don't seem to have so many **." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info This is still an ordinary grenade, if I use those two anti-tank grenades, wouldn't I blow myself up into the sky. ”

Completely climbing out of the pile, Fang Ruitao slapped the dust on his body, looked at the sky and thought for a moment and suddenly said: "I understand that it is the problem of elemental power, the air in this world is full of a large amount of elemental power, and the heat energy and shock wave generated by the explosion of my grenade make these elements agitated, and their restlessness increases the explosive power of the grenade." It seems that the power of this grenade is not bad, it has exceeded my expectations, and it seems that I should start making a musket. ”

The manufacture of muskets was also very simple with the help of a miniature factory, and this was only the first experiment, and Fang Ruitao did not want to make too complicated firearms, so he chose the very simple structure of the British Martini Henry front-loading gun. Various metal components, including the barrel, are very easy to manufacture, and all of them are made of steel, which will be even stronger. The most difficult thing to do was the spring paddles used at the fire sickle, but with the chrome-manganese spring steel that can make soft swords, this problem was solved.

A day later, Fang Ruitao had completed the assembly of the musket, and in the process of making the musket, the most laborious work was not divided, but Fang Ruitao's hand-sharpened gun handguard and butt part. In order not to be disturbed in this experiment, Fang Ruitao stayed away from the academy and stopped in a mountain col.

Sprinkled cotton gunpowder into the chamber of the gun, and put in a lead bullet, Fang Ruitao firmly compacted it with a strip, then he raised the gun horizontally, put some cotton gunpowder in the medicine pool, and slowly pulled the sickle to the firing position. Aiming at a big tree in front of him, Fang Ruitao gently pulled the trigger. With Peng's loud bang, Fang Ruitao only felt a flash of fire in front of his eyes, and suddenly felt a trace of danger in his heart.

Instantly spreading the true qi all over his body, Fang Ruitao threw away the musket and quickly retreated, but the rapidly expanding gunpowder gas still surrounded him in an instant.

'Ahem' Fang Ruitao, who was choked, coughed desperately and walked out of the shroud of gunsmoke, at this moment his face had been blackened, and his clothes were torn in many places, but fortunately he reacted in time, and the surging true qi blocked the sputtering of gunpowder gas and metal fragments.

When the smoke slowly cleared, Fang Ruitao finally saw his musket. By this time, the musket had completely changed its original shape. Because the gunpowder was much more powerful under the action of the elements in the air, the barrel made of stainless steel was directly blown into a trumpet flower. If the amount of gunpowder is reduced, the influence of the elements will also drop significantly, and such a drastic change requires too much precision for the amount to be used, which is simply not something that ordinary soldiers can bear.

If fixed ammunition is used, it comes back to the question of the speed of manufacture. The price of paper in this world is too high, and if you use paper shell bullets, not only can micro factories not be able to make them, but the price is too high. If the metal fixed ammunition is also used to produce the problem, after all, only micro factories can produce this kind of bullets, once it begins to be popularized in the army, I am afraid that their own micro factories will not be able to meet the needs of 24 hours a day. Looking at the completely exploded barrel, Fang Ruitao could only sigh helplessly. The tubular firearm seemed to be unusable, Fang Ruitao shook his head dejectedly, fortunately, the grenade still worked, at least it didn't keep him busy.

Giving up the idea of equipping the musket team, Fang Ruitao quickly swept towards the barracks, he hadn't been there for two or three days, and he should have gone to see the reads today.

"The captain is here, the captain is here. Seeing Fang Ruitao, the soldiers standing guard were all excited. The soldiers who were swarmed into the barracks and went straight to the school grounds.

"Captain, you're back, what's going on with the armor?" Seeing Fang Ruitao, Liu Jinhui was the first to run up and ask.

"It's all done, and I've brought it all today, so let's try it. With a wave of his hand, a large pile of steel armor appeared out of thin air, immediately forming a small mountain. Taking out one piece from the armor pile, Liu Jinhui looked at the steel armor in his hand a little stunned, and said to Fang Ruitao: "Captain, you can't be mistaken, this armor seems to be used by high-ranking officials at the level of the commander of the legion, and the texture of this steel is so good, and the production is so smooth, it is much stronger than the production of the Weapons Bureau." ”

For Liu Jinhui's surprise, Fang Ruitao smiled slightly, the steel material should be good, otherwise the top blowing oxygen steelmaking furnace and electroslag steelmaking furnace of his miniature factory would not be in vain. As for the smoothness of the beating, this is even more incomparable, the blacksmiths of the Ordnance Bureau are all made with hammers little by little, he is all placed in the mold, directly stamped out with a water press, and the things that are formed at one time are naturally smooth and have no traces of beating.

Zhao Guoxian walked over and said in a low voice: "Captain, I said that there is no grade requirement for armor, and you can't exaggerate too much." I thought it would be nice if you prepared a piece of chain mail for each soldier, but who would have thought that you would make this kind of fully protected general armor, which would make many people blush. ”

Fang Ruitao pouted and said: "Hmph, my soldiers naturally have to use the best equipment, if it weren't for the fact that the Ordnance Bureau only had this drawing barely eye-catching, I would have a better armor plan." As for those people's eyes, it doesn't matter, as long as they pay for it, I will sell it, I make this thing very quickly, as long as I want to buy it, I will sell it. ”

Wearing the new armor, the mood of many soldiers was extremely high, Fang Ruitao was very satisfied with this, seeing that although he had lost weight, there were still forty catties of armor worn on these soldiers as light as nothing, Fang Ruitao was relieved. This time, he put a lot of effort into reducing the weight of the armor, and finally added some titanium and manganese to the steel. Those titanium were picked up by Fang Ruitao from the weapon street, but the quantity was very small, so he didn't dare to add more, so he added a lot of manganese to the steel.

Since the dwarf Yichen found the merchant who sold chromium and manganese ore, his chromium and manganese were settled, so he refined many of these elements, most of which were added to the armor made for the soldiers, so these can be called alloy steel armor. It can be said that this is the only one in the Celestial God Continent, if these armors are given to those blacksmiths, let alone let them make them, they will not be able to melt them even if they return to the furnace.
