Chapter 139: Advanced Technology Begins
"The bullet is divided into a warhead and a cartridge case, and the cartridge case is filled with gunpowder, and then at the bottom of the cartridge case is placed the cannon I asked you to make."
Ye Yu explained, "As long as you can ignite the cannon at the bottom, it will produce a small explosion and ignite the gunpowder in the entire shell, and then propel the warhead into flight." ”
After explaining, he had already drawn the rifle, "This gun is loaded with this standardized bullet from the back, and the spark is generated by the impact friction of the firing pin at the back, and then ......"
"Your Highness...... We never thought ......"
All the craftsmen and warlocks were shocked!
Although they already have a certain understanding of gunpowder and various equipment.
But the method Ye Yu said, they really didn't think about it.
"Start with the handcuffs, the single-shot breech handguns. From now on, this weapon was called a pistol. ”
Ye Yu said, "I'll give you two hours, can you make one first?" ”
"Yes!"
These craftsmen all have ready-made "parts", and all they need to do is make the firing pin at the rear.
Since it is experimental, there is no need for molds for the time being.
Under the rapid production of the craftsmen of the entire secret guard yamen, in two hours, a pistol had already been handed over to Ye Yu.
Although it is not very beautiful, Ye Yu checked the inside, and it is basically what he called the structure.
"This is the bullet that His Highness said."
The Warlock took out the three finished bullets.
"Let's try it first."
Because of the problem of tightness that has been mentioned earlier, Ye Yu does not have to worry about the problem of exploding.
Ye Yu came upstairs, loaded the bullets, and loaded them.
Take aim at a tree and pull the trigger.
"Bang!"
The bullet rang out and quickly hit the trunk of the tree.
"Isn't this power more powerful than the previous flintlock pistol?"
Ye Yu said and smiled, "But it's still a little unstable, polish the pistol, do further research, and after it's done, send one to me." ”
"Yes!"
The men quickly began to work.
"Your Highness, these ......"
"You think I'm dreaming of it."
Facing Sun Guowang's question, Ye Yu smiled.
Yang Jiang was not surprised, especially after he had personally experienced the power of the musket.
"In the future, the ace army of the Northwest will use this weapon."
Ye Yu slowly spoke, "This is an absolute secret, so you must keep it secret, your army is also training in the mountains, and Yang Jiang will tell you how to train." These people can only strike when they are most dangerous. ”
"Your Ministers obey."
Sun Guowang bowed.
"Your Highness, the musket before was already very powerful, why do you need to ......"
Yang Jiang didn't understand very well why those muskets were already sharp weapons on the battlefield before, so why should they be further developed.
"That's what you just said, Chariot."
Ye Yu said and smiled, "Ordinary projectiles hit the wood, isn't the power very small?" Look at this tree again, how deep has it been drilled? ”
Yang Jiang stepped forward to check, only to find that the entire trunk was almost pierced!
"This kind of penetrating power, Sun Guowang, you said that if the farm tools are turned into chariots, will they have protective power?"
Yang Jiang was shocked, Ye Yu slowly explained, "And the artillery just now, do you think the chariot has the power to fight?" ”
"This ......"
Sun Guowang nodded, "The minister understands, but what if it is covered with steel plates?" ”
"You're thinking too highly of manpower."
Ye Yu said and smiled, and ordered someone to take a steel plate.
The same pistol, with one bullet, pierced through the wood along the steel plate!
"Such a thin steel plate is useless."
Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "If you thicken the steel plate regardless of the cost, how many cars can be built?" Multiple? How many people can drive? Even if I give this idea to Jiachao, I don't care. ”
"I understand."
"That's not how chariots are played, but I can show you what a chariot is in the future."
There are a lot of design drawings in Ye Yu's head, as long as the development of productivity can produce stamping parts in batches, what semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, and heavy machine guns will be made for you!
Don't talk about the little Jia Dynasty, the world can unify you!
Now, it's still the center of gravity of the economy, and it's enough for these things to be crushed by technology.
Of course, when these equipment are equipped, it will be steam-powered!
These warlocks are the strongest scientists in Ye Yu's hands.
They were able to find all kinds of materials, the kind that would burn for a long time, and with the maintenance of high temperatures, steam power could naturally be on the agenda.
That's when railroads and what could barely be called chariots appeared.
The premise is that there must be enough steel production.
Bullets, there is no steel that can be used with copper, this is not a big problem, but combat vehicles such as steam power still have to use steel.
After visiting and introducing the secret guard yamen, Ye Yu turned to the two small lieutenants brought in.
"Do you two know what this so-called sorcery is?"
In the woods, Ye Yu turned to face Zhao Qing and Sun Di.
"These things are just tricks, if we fight head-on, we won't lose!"
Zhao Qing and Sun Di spoke in unison.
Fighting a war should be a frontal fight, what is it to get these yin people's things?
"In ancient times, there were soldiers who said that soldiers are not tired of cheating."
Ye Yu said, "I also have a strong frontal fighting ability with you, but I have these things, I can defeat you from afar, you have no choice." ”
"You can't hit it head-on, you can't beat a long-distance bow and arrow, how can you play?"
After saying this, Sun Di and Zhao Qing were speechless.
They saw very clearly at that time that Ye Yu's troops were not only powerful in long-range firepower, but they were still not inferior in close-range battles!
It's even much stronger than them.
"That's why I want you two to have a good tempering in the army."
Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "I don't like generals who surrender. We are all for the Southern Dynasty, can't you be used by me? ”
This was followed by a political education.
Sun Di and Zhao Qing were infected, and at the same time as the development of science and technology, there was also the ability to fight in close quarters armed to the teeth, such an army......
As young generals, they are very excited!
"With this kind of weapon, there are corresponding tactics for combat, and this is all for later."
Ye Yu spoke slowly, "What's the matter, are you willing to follow Yang Jiang, or am I locked you in place and can't leave for the rest of your life?" ”
The two of them already knew the secret here, and if they didn't follow Yang Jiang, then they wouldn't be able to leave here until they died.
"We will follow General Yang to have a good experience!"
Sun Di and Zhao Qing nodded and said, "Your Highness, no matter whether we can be reinstated in the future, we are willing to fight in such an army!" ”
After all, after the gate, they still have a little bit of longing for the army in their hearts.
Unlike the other soft bones.
It is estimated that those soft bones have been playing with their younger brothers for a long time.
Subsequently, Sun Guowang first returned to Xishan Prefecture to deal with the rest of the matter, while Yang Jiang returned to the mountain station with a large number of "outdated" muskets and handcuffs.
"Your Highness, Princess Gongsun has arrived."
The henchmen immediately came to report.
