Vol 2 Chapter 549: Further discussion on firearms

From the [Pray for Silver Building], Ouyang Yu turned and left Wangcheng and headed for the Nancheng District.

Nancheng District is the military industrial area after the expansion.

The No. 7 Institute is located here.

Since Black Snake has searched [Ming Dynasty Firearms Manufacturing Technical Manual] from the Heavenly King Palace, it has been a month since I did not know how Liu Mo and others studied this manual.

Back to Shanhaicheng, Ouyang Yu naturally went to inspect.

Firearms represent the highest level and main direction of the future technology of the Territory.

There are two main types of firearms in the Ming Dynasty: the first type is the fire shovel and the cockle that are placed by hand. The shape and caliber are small. The general barrel is filled with lead and iron bombs, and its range is only tens of steps. Two hundred steps.

Converted into meters, the farthest is two or three hundred meters.

Among the fires, the more representative ones include the three-eyed owl, the scorpion scorpion, the scorpion scorpion, the Thunder scorpion, the five thunder **** machine, the Lumi scorpion and so on.

One of the things that has to be mentioned is the kidnapper.

The kidnapper is a rifle with a crank, which is 37.5 cm long. It can be used for three consecutive shots with a range of 150 meters. The Ming Dynasty is called the "Wansheng Folang Machine".

It can be said that the kidnapper is already the closest fire to the Western musket.

The second type is an artillery that is mounted on a pedestal and has a large caliber and a large body. Most of the cylinders are filled with stones, lead, iron, etc., commonly known as "solid bombs", while a few are filled with explosive pellets. The distance from hundred steps to two or three miles is mainly used for defending the village and siege, but also for field, water and naval battles.

Hong Xiuquan was mainly conquered before, and it was the second type of artillery.

The artillery of Tianjing City has arrived in Shanhai City in full, in preparation for the physical research of the No. 7 Institute.

Among the Ming dynasty artillery, there are more representative ones, including tiger rifle, Folang machine and Hongyi artillery.

Among them, the red cannon, known as the general cannon, was made by Western technology in the late Ming Dynasty. It has a cannon and an aiming device. It can adjust the range and has a long life. The large one weighs 1.6 tons and the range can reach 1.9 kilometers.

In addition to fire and artillery, there is also a type of firearm, which is a rocket, including a cluster rocket, a sacred raptor, a fire dragon, and so on.

The fire-flying crow, that is, the crow-shaped body filled with gunpowder, the gunpowder line in the gunpowder, and in series with the gunpowder in the take-off rocket cartridge.

When launching, first ignite the gunpowder line of the take-off rocket, let the rocket fly to the enemy, and detonate the gunpowder inside the crow, killing and burning the enemy's people, is a weapon to break the siege.

The fire dragon's water, as the name suggests, is a weapon of water warfare.

It is a multi-stage rocket of the Ming Dynasty. It is equipped with a first-stage rocket outside the paper tube. There is a second-stage rocket in the Longkou. After shooting, it increases the range and hits the enemy ship. It is used for water attack and the range can reach 1.5. Kilometers.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty firearms are extremely developed and very comprehensive and can be used in actual combat. However, compared with the West in the same period, it is worse than one grade.

Let me talk about the fire first.

The three-eyed scorpion is the mainstream fire in the Ming dynasty, but its true killing range is less than ten meters. It only has a strong power within two feet, and it is not allowed at all. It just has a fire. It can also be used as a stick for the advantages of melee.

Let's talk about the kidnappers mentioned in the previous article. This is the musket that was introduced from the West in the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, it was limited to the level of science and technology at that time, and it was basically impossible to imitate it.

Even if the imitation is successful, whether it is safety performance or power, it has a big discount.

The first one is on the material.

In terms of metallurgy, the Chinese use very little pig iron and wrought iron, and the barrel of the musket must be forged with wrought iron or steel, which makes the Chinese extremely difficult and finally has to give up.

And this point, Shanhaicheng has already been resolved.

Before Ouyang Yu left Shanhai City, he had already set up the steel industry. Up to now, the ten steel-making factories he has planned have all been completed and put into production one by one.

The Treasury collects huge amounts of gold coins every month and purchases hundreds of millions of tons of iron ore and coal, which is sufficient to support the production needs of the steel mills in the early stage.

Let's talk about the artillery.

The so-called tiger cannon gun, because of the tragedy of metallurgical technology, the thick and powerful of the cannon, can only hit a stone ball of a billiard ball out of a hundred meters, there is no way to adjust the distance, and there is no wheel.

The Artifact Framing machine is a small ship gun on the Western small merchant ship that was eliminated. It is called "the toy of the sailors who have no actual combat ability", but this thing has become a fire weapon in the Ming Dynasty.

For the Ming Dynasty, the Folang machine is a super high-tech product that exceeds its national scientific and technological capabilities. No foreigners are pointing at it, and even production cannot be done.

Moreover, domestically produced Lang is often bombed, and the number of people killed by the bombs is far more than the enemy who was killed.

It can be described as a complete tragedy.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the introduction of Western technology and the counterfeit Hongyi cannon were the strongest firearms of the entire Ming Dynasty. In essence, the Red Yi cannon is no different from the Big Buddha machine, which is longer and bigger.

The level of casting large artillery in the Ming Dynasty was very inferior and the quality was very bad. The large artillery that was cast was often a cracked scrap. Therefore, foreigners must be helped to guide the pouring, but the quality is still inferior, so the gun body is very thick. The red arsenal was cast more than two meters long. At that time, the Ming Dynasty belonged to the cannon, which claimed to be a ten-mile range. It was only about one mile.

In contrast, the super mobile artillery cast by Mongolian Mengzier Dynasty is three meters high, the barrel is 20 meters long and weighs 50 tons. The shooting range is over 20 kilometers.

There is no comparability between the two.

Therefore, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Ouyang Yu did not think about it after getting the "Ming Dynasty Firearms Manufacturing Technical Manual", and made all kinds of firearms in the manual.

Although it is said that for the current Shanhai City, it is not difficult to do this.

Ouyang Yu wanted to use the "Ming Dynasty Firearms Manufacturing Technical Manual" as a blueprint, combined with the existing scientific research strength of Shanhai City, to further enhance and transform the firearms.

The goal of his first phase was to develop a musket that could catch up with the average Western standard and a new match.

That's it.

As for other things like fire, rockets, etc., Ouyang Yi really did not think about it.

Only in this way can Ouyang Yan lead the Chinese region. In the future national war, it will not repeat the tragedy of humiliation in history because of the large backwardness of weapons and equipment.

To achieve this, Shanhai City must establish a complete, relatively complete industrial system. Building a steel plant is only the most basic step in the industrial system. (To be continued...)
