Of course, Liu Ponu did not express dissatisfaction, but there was no big surprise.

Although he didn't know much about this area, it didn't prevent Liu Ponu from knowing that heat energy would not be dispersed here.

Because in a relatively confined space, heat energy will only be wasted, and the area of a set of power pipes is only so large, so he can absorb so much heat, and when the limit is reached, won't the remaining heat be wasted?

Instead, they added an extra power pipe to each engine, which at best was a little slower than it was when it first warmed up, but it was almost negligible.

But after the warm-up is completed, the efficiency will naturally increase.

This design is equivalent to adding a physical plug-in to the engine, directly doubling its power.

Of course, considering all kinds of factors, it may be difficult to really double, but at least it will increase the motivation by more than 50%.

It's the same as one person pulling a plow and two people pulling a plow.

In other words, although this armored reconnaissance vehicle is equipped with four engines, it is actually equivalent to eight engines, but it is only a linkage of two and two.

Of course, Liu Ponu is not interested in finding out, after all, if he continues to understand, he will be exposed, so it is better to just pretend to be forced and finish.

Not only does it not lose its elegance, but it can also gain respect, and it can make them feel valued by themselves, so why not kill three birds with one stone?

Next, Liu Ponu personally boarded the test car, and the internal environment was needless to say, and it was naturally not much more comfortable.

The whole car was full of five people, a driver, a commander and driver and shooter, and the remaining three were shooters and firefighters.

The space limits the number of staff, but the work that needs to be done has not been reduced at all, so everyone has to wear multiple hats.

Even in the future, the five people in the car must be able to drive, not requiring how skilled they are, at least they must be able to drive the car away, after all, anything can happen on the battlefield, and the remaining three people can only stare because the driver and the commander are cold.

The body is built very simply, in order to increase the speed, so it is necessary to reduce the weight, to reduce the weight must reduce the amount of steel, plus the whole car needs to be closed, don't look at this car is not as big as the truck, but if all the iron is used, its weight will far exceed the weight of the truck.

So the structure of the rear of the body is made of iron, which is used to support the entire body and strength, and the rest is replaced by wood, and then a layer of steel plates two or three millimeters thick is covered on the outside.

In this way, the weight of the whole vehicle was reduced, and the overall thickness of the wood and steel plates reached more than thirty millimeters, so that it was difficult for both bows and flintlock muskets to penetrate its defenses, except for heavy weapons such as bed crossbows, and it had to be within a hundred paces.

But this thing is broken down, under the weakening of iron plates and wood, it is difficult to form too much lethality after penetration, unless it is penetrated, it happens to be close to the soldier in this position, otherwise even if it is penetrated, it will have to rely on luck.

If the appearance of the armored reconnaissance vehicle only completed Liu Ponu's expected goal, then what he saw next completely surprised Liu Ponu.

Because Liu Ponu actually saw a breech gun here.

"Your Highness, at first we just thought that His Highness had to get the ammunition before, and the ammunition must not be loaded from the front muzzle, although the ammunition has not yet been made, but it does not prevent us from getting a draft gun first, so that as long as the ammunition problem is solved, we can immediately come up with a suitable gun." He Bo, who was in charge of researching the gun, introduced with a tired face.

Don't look at it as a small change, this change is not a little difficult for him.

And he has been investing in this for nearly a year with a few apprentices, and he hasn't been able to really get this gun out in a year, and the pressure on his body is still quite high.

Even if the test gun has been made now, there are still a lot of weaknesses, so he needs to continue to work hard to improve it.

Although Liu Ponu has invested a lot of resources in the scientific research base, there are also hundreds of different research groups here, and these resources are limited after all.

As time went on, He Bo was able to receive less and less resources.

Seeing that others were singing and making progress, getting batch after batch of resources, remembering merit, and promoting promotion, as always, there was no reaction here, and He Bo was really anxious.

If he is not in a hurry, his men will rebel.

Of course, Liu Ponu came here and found that He Bo's breech gun was also purely outside, if it was according to the normal process, it should be difficult for Liu Ponu to see this gun.

Because He Bo's studio has been moved to a more remote place, who made it take him a long time and fail to produce any tangible results?

Fortunately, I happened to be testing the gun today, and it happened that Liu Ponu came, so I saw this gun here.

"Plan ahead, good!" Liu Ponu looked at this breech gun and liked it more and more.

At present, the number of people studying guns in the entire scientific research base is not large, and the investment in resources is also not much.

But this does not mean that Liu Ponu does not pay attention to guns, but because Liu Ponu has limited resources in this area, he has given the following a wrong understanding, so that they subconsciously think that the current flintlock pistol is enough, and before the problem of ammunition is solved, there is no need to invest too many resources in the study of firearms.

Liu Ponu reduced his investment just because he was waiting for ammunition, and once the ammunition came out, the entire flintlock pistol would have to be eliminated.

So now there is no need to invest too much in this, even if the investment is in the breech gun, so Liu Ponu is not in a hurry about this matter, but I didn't expect someone to do it.

"Tell me about this gun!" Liu Ponu immediately asked.

"Your Highness, the advantage of this gun is that it is easy to reload and has a fast rate of fire, taking ten rounds as an example, at the same time, this gun can almost shoot thirteen to fourteen rounds." He Bo realized that his opportunity might have come, and hurriedly explained.

Don't underestimate the difference in just the way of loading, even if it is the same ammunition and the same firing pattern, the difference between the breech and the breech is huge.

Liu Ponu is also thinking about this problem, now the rate of fire is about five or six rounds a minute, and ten rounds take about two minutes, and on average, two more shots can be fired per minute.

If one person fires two more shots, a hundred people are two hundred shots, and for the same number of people, the firepower is equivalent to the combat effectiveness of one hundred and thirty or forty people.

"But there are also a lot of problems, the position of the disembowel will gradually appear uneven with the frequency of use and habits, and after the ammunition is fired, it will touch the uneven place, if it is not closed and strictly prohibited, the baffle may be exploded directly, and as long as it touches the baffle, the range and accuracy will plummet......" He Bo said.

Liu Ponu picked up the gun and checked it carefully, and found that the position of the disembowelment was in front of the reload, and the order of reloading had not changed, but the method had changed.

Previously, it was necessary to take a stick and poke it through the muzzle of the gun to tamp it down, so that the range of fire would be guaranteed.

The trouble with the breech gun is here, and the time is all wasted here.

The gun designed by He Bo simplifies this process, after loading the firing charge, you only need to press the firing charge with your hand, and then directly put the projectile into it, cover the baffle and fire.

"Why don't you put the bezel in the back?" Liu Ponu pointed to the position behind and asked, in that case, it is to load the projectile first, and then load the ammunition, and the projectile is directly stuffed into the chamber of the gun, which can avoid collision in the chamber due to unevenness caused by the opening.

"The airtight is not tight, the range is only about 100 steps, and the heat emitted by the gunpowder will burn the soldiers......" He Bo subconsciously hid his hand in his sleeve.

However, Liu Ponu still saw that He Bo had burns on his right hand, but Liu Ponu had no better way to solve this problem.

Bolt-action rifles can be solved, but the problem is that qualified bolts cannot be processed.

And the gun is actually just that, it's really not difficult to say that it's difficult, it's difficult to be high-precision, and ordinary rifles at this stage are just like that.

Seamless steel pipes can now be made, but the quality is a little worrisome, and it is not difficult to depict rifling or anything, but it is difficult to calculate how many turns in the chamber of the gun.

Although Liu Ponu was also in a hurry, he knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed.

However, Liu Ponu can also be sure that under his own awesome operation, the first industrial revolution in human history has quietly come.

And this time, the Han nation will be far ahead of the West for nearly two thousand years, and Liu Ponu has seen more of those times when he was stuck in the neck and threatened and blackmailed everywhere in later generations, but at that time, he could only be incompetent and angry, and he didn't even know which direction to work hard, mainly because he didn't have the ability.

Yavin

And now, Liu Ponu can't wait to clean up people.

So he patted He Bo's shoulder with a gratifying face, and encouraged: "The direction of the breech is correct, and the specific method needs to be pondered again, and then we can increase some manpower and resources, and focus on solving the problems at this stage, it will be the next batch of main rifles to be reloaded......"
