Chapter 437: The History of the Musket Development in this World
The development of thermal weapons such as muskets and artillery in this world can be said to have started very early, and when China was still in the Tang Dynasty, it was already guided by the traverser Tang Seng to get out the world's first musket, which was recorded in history, the most useless musket.
Because of the restrictions of the times, although the original musket used the original gunpowder early, but the ammunition in the musket has become a big problem, that era without lead bullets, Tang Seng made the bullet replaced by iron, because iron was not easy to make that kind of projectile shape in that era, he simply replaced it with iron sand, very much like the kind of spit musket that Mo forgot to cross the previous world in the Song Dynasty, but the range is farther than that, probably able to hit a wooden target ten meters away with a shot...... Make an unsightly target.
The original musket, it is enough to have a concept and concept, the power or something, no one expects it at all, including Tang Seng himself, he is already very satisfied with the success of the musket, the musket of this world appeared in advance for hundreds of years, and it is also a hundred years for Huaxia to lead the world.
At that time, muskets were more used on the battlefield in the form of various hand cannons to scare people on the battlefield, and the small cannon body was put on the wooden pole to scare people or throw out the cannon to be exploded, which was the first use of muskets on the battlefield, and the effect of the use was far inferior to the bombs made by the people themselves at that time or the 'rockets' that pushed the arrows out with the help of gunpowder.
The power of the people is very great, but China in that year was also open, the folk gunpowder weapons are better than the official ones, and the official directly gets the doctrine to use, so that the muskets of that era are more suitable than muskets but gunpowder weapons, just because Tang Seng had to call those weapons muskets, so the history books record that those weapons are muskets, which are not at all like the muskets of muskets, which are the gunpowder weapons of that era.
One of the great advances in gunpowder weapons is that after the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, when Great Xia was just established, forced by war, and there was no clear record in historical records, arquebuses appeared on the battlefield for the first time, and were manipulated by several rebellious militias to accidentally cripple the last general who could fight in the Tang Dynasty a hundred meters away, so that the rebels won the crucial war, and also let the arquebuses begin to assemble the army of Great Xia after the establishment of Great Xia...... Of course, not alone.
The simple arquebus was not yet a stand-alone in warfare, and the shortcomings discovered after the appearance of the musket, such as the lack of range and the long reload time, made it unable to compete with the crossbow in actual combat. So on the battlefield, the musketeers were mixed with pikemen, they covered each other in distance and close combat, and they were good partners on the battlefield, and they lasted for decades, because of the beginning of the Age of Discovery, flint guns appeared!
The arquebus was very dissatisfied with the problem of furnishings when it rained, and the Arquebus was very dissatisfied with the problem of opening the route at that time, and the arquebus was transformed again and again, adding a shutter for aiming, using a certain type of spring and gear instead of a simple lever, so that the arquebus clamp was firmly kept in a state of readiness, increasing the trigger force, reducing the risk of misfire, etc., which were the initial improvements of the arquebus.
Although the flint gun is the replacement of the arquebus with flint, but the replacement is not immediate, but a little bit, the improvement of the arquebus to the flint gun is close to more than 100 years, the Great Xia was founded in 907 AD, and the Age of Exploration was fully opened in 990 AD, and Mo Forget also entered this era after that, that era happened to be the era when the flint gun began to appear on the battlefield on a small scale, and the flint gun appeared for the sake of war, and Mo Forget was the leader of the use on the battlefield at that time.
The flint gun, which has a faster rate of fire, a smaller caliber, a shorter body, a lighter weight, less recoil, and a longer range, has completely replaced the arquebus, which was started in the original era of the second generation of Xiaofeng Diligence, although at first the flint gun was only because compared to the arquebus, there was no need to worry about the light of the burning arquebus and the unique smell of the arquebus exposing the target at night.
The development speed of flint guns is fast, and skilled musketeers can achieve a rate of fire of one bullet in less than a minute, which allows thermal weapons to speed up and eliminate many, many cold weapons, and also makes the battlefield appear one after another can play flint gun line formation, the original infantry array depth has been compressed to only a few people, which is the change brought about by the development of Huaxia musket.
The original bayonet also appeared on the battlefield in this case, the combination of hot weapons and cold weapons, was the most correct thing that China did in that era, and it was also the peak of Great Xia, and the invincible Great Xia was also tired of the development of weapons.
The musket has not developed much in a hundred years, in fact, not only because Huaxia itself is too arrogant, but also because many major sects have discovered the threat of the musket weapon to their status as cultivators, and hindered the official development of the musket, but there is no support for the development of the people, and Huaxia is the world's first power, which can be said to be the biggest sin that the musket has not developed for more than a hundred years.
Don't forget that he wanted to develop muskets in those years, although he didn't know much about what the path to go after the musket (the world sealed the memory), but he knew that guns were the masters of the future, the existence of hot weapons was far more than simple cold weapons, mortals wanted to defeat the cultivators, cultivators wanted not to rest on their laurels, muskets were definitely a good way forward, which was proven by history~~
But helplessly, don't forget that there was really no time and energy at that time, and for many, many years in the Western world, even the standard gunpowder manufacturing was a variety of problems, and it was very difficult to qualify artillery muskets, and it was really unrealistic to develop new muskets that needed great craftsmen to be able to bring them.
Mo Forget didn't pursue unrealistic things, and took the Western world to catch up with the pace of Daxia step by step, and at the same time, he also made all kinds of other things on the battlefield, and the multi-stage array shooting was made by Mo Forget, and the effect was very good, so that Mo Forget was able to resist Huaxia's attack on the Western world.
Of course, Mo Forget never gave up on improving the musket, he has been improving the musket, the breech flintlock pistol and the flintlock pistol are the result of Mo Forget's improvement of the musket, and these two improvements have also been known to the world as the tent abducted his fleet and the weapons war in all directions, and the result is that the whole world is now beginning to equip these two improved musket guns.
The road to flint guns is almost at an end, and the concepts of rifles and pistols have begun to be calculated separately, don't forget to prepare, the updated breech-loading firearms are now equipped with smokeless gunpowder, which can be said to be the main force in the development of muskets in the future, but ...... Don't forget not to be prepared to simply do this for pure scientific and technological development, he is ready to add to the history of the development of firearms, and also add the things that the organization developed in the war.
In the case of Great Xia's research on arquebuses and flint guns, and the Western world is trying its best to catch up and develop new muskets, the organization is not simply using it over there, they are also constantly catching up and developing their own things, a path and formation for the historical development of fantasy technology by those aliens!
It is the formation, the existence of the formation, is something that is carried forward by the organization on the battlefield, when Mo Forget and Huaxia pursued the strength of the musket, the organization relied on the continuous improvement and research and development of the formation, and it was not weaker than the strength of thermal weapons, showing a road that Mo Forget had never seen much on the battlefield.
I believe readers can also see that in this book, don't forget that when you just came to the Age of Discovery, the formations on the battlefield can only be used by all kinds of cultivators who are at least Dacheng and above Dacheng, which is a very rare thing, but the war that lazy people wrote about before, the formation has changed from a simple personal formation to a war formation, and the formation in the war has been fully popularized with the development of time.
Don't forget to take the things that are developed by the organization without hesitation, and it's the same on the side of Daxia, there is no so-called patent in this era, even if there is, it is enough to use patent protection for your own people, and everyone is taking the good things that the enemy has, and don't forget that it's the same, after taking the formation of organizational research, the formation is transformed into a new study of firearms in the study.
"It's a success! Ten rounds per minute, a range of 500 meters, and a rate of fire close to the speed of sound! Our brand new guns can already be mass-loaded into the army......!" No, it should be better to call it a rifle, and Mo Forget, who test-fired the world's first real rifle, was very satisfied: "Mass production on the battlefield! Let our soldiers get familiar with it as soon as possible, and this will be the main force in the war in the future." ”
"This, this, this...... This weapon is crazy!" Mo Ang looked at the rifle that had been put on the table by Mo Forget: "With this, the form of war will be rewritten in the future, cultivator...... Will there still be a place for cultivators on the battlefield in the future?"
"Yes, at least in the future that I know, there is still a lot of place for cultivators...... It seems to be another memory blockade, but I know that if modern cultivators can face this rifle squarely, it will not be very difficult to defeat a large number of armies with this rifle, of course, provided that they can face it squarely. ”
"I just don't know...... To face up to a technological weapon that is not dominated by fantasy, how much blood does it take to ...... Also, I found that I felt like I had discovered the door to a whole new world!"
