Chapter 80: This Little Girl's Temper Is Growing!
Wang Xiaoqi stared at the detailed dissection of the bullet on the drawing, pointed to the drawing and asked in a low voice.
"My lord, this seems to be different from our lead!"
Zhao Xiong looked down and said, "Can you make it?" ”
Zhao Xiong's Minne bomb is a lead-conical bullet with three greased grooves on the sides and a conical cavity at the bottom.
When fired, the cavity of the chrysanthemum part of the Migne bullet swelled, so that the grooves on the sides could fit the rifling, and the grease could lubricate the warhead to avoid damage to the chamber.
In short, the appearance of the Migne bullet made the rifled front loading gun instantly popular.
Wang Xiaoqi nodded and said, "I also want to make a spiral clamp, turn the lead around the thread with threads to match the rifling, and fill the thread with animal oil in the middle." The bottom of the lead is made of cork material.
However, the rifling of the gun tube, I used a broach when I was young, and now the broach is abandoned, and the broach still needs to be made, which may delay the progress!
Also, I looked carefully at the drawings, and this victory rifle is a barrel, and we used to build arquebuses.
This bolt structure is a bit more complicated and may take some time to figure out. ”
"That's it!"
Zhao Xiong thought for a moment and said: "That tap tube is not good, the name I gave it is called Victory Fire Flint Gun."
The bore of the short gun made by your son is a revoltable flint short gun.
I'll have someone prepare some rifling tools for you, and I'll get you the bolt parts for the Victory Gun, and you can assemble it!" ”
Wang Xiaoqi was stunned, this Lord Zhao actually knows how to prepare weapons, and he has a lot of resources.
In the past, this was a remarkable character.
Zhao Xiong saw that Wang Xiaoqi seemed to be stunned, and ignored him, it seemed that this Wang Xiaoqi still needed to be digested well.
Glancing at the gunpowder that Wang Xiaoqi had checked, it must have been poorly sealed, causing gunpowder residue residue to block the barrel and cause an explosion.
So he wanted to create a new rifle, and under the existing conditions, by creating rifling, he used Migne rounds.
So that the problem of the chamber sealing was solved, and the rate of fire, range and safety of the gun were greatly enhanced, so that he had a sense of security.
When Wang Xiaoqi heard this, Zhao Xiong provided ready-made guns and rifling tools, and in addition, this craftsman was quite polite to them.
In his opinion, the legendary and vicious Zhao Tianba turned out to be not so fierce!
So I didn't feel relieved in my heart, and I was busy with a mouthful.
And so it was settled.
Zeng Guofan, a scholar in white, stood outside, and saw Zhao Xiong talking to that Wang Xiaoqi with his own eyes, and he didn't hear too clearly through the crowd.
Zeng Guofan's family is one of the best in Hunan, and he was young and passed the exam, which was the time when the spring breeze was proud.
If he hadn't been beaten and injured for a few days, he would have looked down on miscellaneous officials like Zhao Xiong in the past, and even hated people like Zhao Xiong.
As for the flintlock musket, he only mentioned it in the "Illustrated Description of Weapons" published by the Military Department of the Dakang Dynasty, and except for a small number of officers who had this kind of imported goods in their hands, there was basically no equipment in the army.
He saw that the little aunt, who was there carefully observing the firecracker, was just about to speak.
Hearing this, the little aunt said to Zhao Xiong:
"Master Xiong, I can smelt iron, there is a blast furnace for iron-making in our family, so I will live in the village and be a guide!"
When Zhao Xiong heard this, he looked the little mushroom up and down, and suddenly smiled and said, "I can't see it!" You still understand this, but it's not good!
I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the food and accommodation here! ”
She looked at Zhao Xiong's eyes, which were so bright and frank, and she breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Xiong would not betray them in the short term.
She took her niece and hid in Tibet, thinking she was dying when she was sick, but she fell asleep after taking the medicine and came back to her soul.
decided that Zhao Xiong was his lucky star.
The little aunt Tongxin noticed a few days ago that Zhao Xiong must have known their origins, but why they didn't report it is unknown.
However, the town of Hanzhuang is, after all, the hub of the Grand Canal.
People come and go, there are many people, she doesn't want to drag Zhao Xiong down, she wants to wait for the illness to get better, and secretly go south.
It's a pity that this Zhao Xiong seems to know that they are leaving, so he intentionally or unintentionally restricts their range of activities.
In fact, she knew that Zhao Xiong was also for their good.
Just when Zhao Xiong talked about building a small blast furnace, she temporarily decided that she planned to live in seclusion in this village far away from the emperor of the mountain.
The little aunt smiled silently when she heard this, and the little beggar who was drinking happy fat house water next to her said: "I want to accompany my sister-in-law, where will my sister-in-law go!" ”
Zhao Xiong deliberately teased her, so he said: "If you live and don't serve me, then your snacks will be gone!" ”
Then he stared at Tong Youzhu.
When the little beggar heard this, when he saw Zhao Xiong's expression again, his face turned red, and he twisted: "Ignore you!" ”
Then he really ignored Zhao Xiong angrily, stood up and dragged Tian'er out.
Zhao Xiong also ignored her, this little girl's family has a long temper!
He said to his little aunt again: "After we go back, we will discuss this matter, your mother's family is in the steel business?" ”
Tong Xin smiled and nodded, and whispered, "I am inconvenient to say my mother's name, please forgive me, but I have been managing iron mines and blast furnaces with my elders since I was a child.
I have also commanded people to build the small blast furnace you mentioned, and I have also produced molten iron ......."
When the little aunt talked about the past, her eyes gradually lit up.
Zhao Xiong looked at the little aunt like Wang Yuyan, and immediately felt that this girl was very awesome, at least in the area of steel and ironmaking, she was much better than him.
If you put it in his time, this childlike heart is a typical science girl!
He also read Dakang's report only to know that the Dakang steel smelting process has reached the point of large-scale, mass production, and continuous production of raw and wrought iron.
More than 100 years ago, some people connected the iron-making furnace with the iron-frying furnace, so that the molten pig iron smelted by the iron-making furnace flowed into the iron-frying furnace and stirred with willow sticks.
Oxidizes the carbon in the molten pig iron and matures the iron.
This continuous production process has begun to take shape of the system idea of combined production, which not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption.
To put it simply, the conventional iron-making method can only smelt raw iron.
Then the pig iron is forged and decarburized, or the wrought iron is heated and carburized into steel, that is, the steel filling method.
This requires two heat-ups.
However, the Dakang Dynasty came out, frying steel and hydraulic blowers.
Steel can be produced without the need for cooling and reheating, reducing fuel consumption and dramatically increasing production actually earlier than Europeans.
But after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Grand Ceremony was lost, and coincidentally, they suddenly broke out into the Renaissance and quickly had the rudiments of industrialization.
They invented the churning furnace during the Renaissance.
The difference is that European smelting furnaces usually use wrought iron rods or steel rods to burn the carbon in the pig iron and finally obtain low-carbon wrought iron.
