"Bo Yan, tell the craftsmen to draw a few lines inside the barrel, so that the shells will fly faster.
Hit rate will be higher.Regardless of whether you use solid bullets or flower bullets, it will have unexpected effects. "
Doo suggested.
Lu Xun frowned slightly.
"Young master, if you draw a few lines in the barrel, won't that make you lose air? Once out of air, the shells won't fly very far!"
Lu Xun asked.
Ha ha!
"Bo Yan, just ask the craftsmen to draw a few very shallow lines, not to draw too deep, it is not good to draw too deep,
It will cause the situation you just mentioned.A few shallow lines will not affect the ejection speed of the cannon, trust me! "
Doo Ho said.
"All right!"
Lu Xun had no choice but to agree, and let the craftsman make a barrel first, and then make a decision after experimenting.
"Master, the ballista and catapults on the battleship have been eliminated, and all the battleships are equipped with artillery."
Lawson Road.
Ah!
"Not bad! It seems that there is no aiming instrument on the artillery. Find a way to produce it and install it on the artillery, which will increase the accuracy of the artillery."
Doo Ho said.
The next moment, Du He exchanged the technical information of the gun mirror from the system and handed it over to Lu Xun.
The gun mirror is very simple, as long as the principle is figured out, it is not complicated to produce.
"Master, do you want to draw a few shallow lines in the barrel of the musket?"
Lawson Road.
"Bo Yan, have muskets been produced in our factory?"
Doo Ho said.
Two years ago, Du He handed over the blueprint of the muzzle-loading flintlock gun to the hands of the craftsmen, because the steel was not qualified and could not be produced.
Even if it is produced, the barrel will burst after hundreds of rounds are fired, and it has been delayed.
In Du He's heart, the lives of soldiers are more important than anything else.
When a new weapon is launched on the market, it must go through repeated experiments, and after improvement, it can only be mass-produced when it is found to have no defects.
It will definitely not work if you shoot hundreds of bullets and then scrap it.
Once the musket is scrapped, what can the soldiers use against the enemy!
"Master, half a year ago, the quality of steel has improved significantly, and the smelted steel can already be used to process gun barrels.
After it was produced, tens of thousands of bullets were fired, and the barrel was still intact, and only [-] were produced.
Now all equip the Marine Corps Division. "
Lu Xun explained.
Oh!
Damn!
Forget about it.
In the past two years, Du He seldom intervened in the affairs of his factories, and handed them over to Shen Wansan, who became the hands-off shopkeeper.
I forgot that the Beihai Fleet also has a marine division in its hands, which is a reinforced division with a strength of more than 2 people.
Ha ha!
"Of course it can. Once the barrel is pulled out a few boring lines, the accuracy and range of shooting will be very high."
Doo Ho said.
"Master, this time, let the Marine Division join us!"
Lawson Road.
Oh!
"Bo Yan, how is the training of the marine division, and has it formed combat effectiveness?"
Doo Ho said.
"Young master, don't worry! I have personally trained for two years, and the soldiers are very skilled in tactics and skills, only needing to be baptized by the flames of war."
Lawson Road.
"Okay! Bring the Marine Division, let them see the blood, accept the baptism of blood and fire, and completely transform into a veteran."
Doo Ho said.
"Thank you, Master."
Lawson Road.
Chapter 385 Arriving at Ji Island
Du He took a closer look at the artillery again.
Something always feels wrong.
I can't remember it all at once.
Just as he turned around, Du He discovered the problem.
"Bo Yan, this cannon barrel can be processed to be thinner at the front and thicker at the back, so that it is not easy to burst. Or, at the back of the cannon barrel,
Tie a few turns of wire to reinforce it.When we reload, the range is determined by the amount of gunpowder! "
Doo suggested.
"Master, I will notify the craftsmen and let them experiment."
Lawson Road.
"How long does it take to fire a shell now?"
Doo Ho said.
"It depends on the proficiency of the soldier. Normally, it takes 70 breaths, and the fastest is 50 breaths.
However, the accuracy is not very high, and once it exceeds 500 meters, the hit rate drops greatly. "
Lawson Road.
Du He nodded.
The hit rate of the artillery on the sea is definitely low. On the one hand, the battleship is wobbly, and on the other hand, in the sea, both opposing sides are moving.
Unlike on land, the loquat is fixed and easy to hit.
"By the way, Bo Yan, the recoil of the artillery is extremely strong. If you place it on the deck like this, after a long time,
The hull will be damaged.Especially the keel, once deformed, the battleship will face elimination.You can consider buffering,
Let the recoil spread out instead of concentrating on it.As for how to do it, I can only make a suggestion. The specific improvement needs to be studied by craftsmen. "
Doo Ho said.
Ugh!
Du He sighed.
It cannot be compared with modern artillery.
It's too rough.
But what?
Technology is accumulated little by little, and you can't eat a fat man with one bite.
"Bo Yan, is there a flintlock gun on board? Take one out, and I'll shoot it a few times to see how it goes?"
Duho added.
"As ordered!"
The next moment, a navy soldier delivered a flintlock.
When Du He took it, it felt very heavy. It weighed at least 20 kilograms, and the muzzle was 13mm, using paper bullets.
Poke the tail of the paper bullet, stuff it into the barrel, and poke it a few times with a poke bar.
The muzzle faces the sea.
Pull the mover.
boom!
Du He shook his body a few times.
Damn it!
The recoil is too much.
The effective range is less than fifty steps.
Whether it's purely muskets, Du He felt that they were much less powerful than bows and arrows.
Du He shook his head.
If the breech-loading flintlock is not produced, the role of muskets in warfare will not be popularized.
"Master, this flintlock gun is quite powerful. Once the enemy attacks in groups, concentrate some muskets,
Fired in the direction, the power is still good.When each musket is fired, the bullets pop out and shoot out in scattered shapes, with a huge shooting range.
However, it can only seriously injure the opponent, not kill it. This is the only shortcoming. "
Lu Xun introduced.
"The shooting range is too short, and the soldiers have to risk the counterattack of the opponent's bow and arrow. It is only suitable for blocking warfare. There are bunkers and hiding places, and they can fire in secret."
Doo Ho said.
"Master, we only popularize it in the marine division, and other naval soldiers still use bows and arrows and Tang knives as weapons and equipment.
Besides, our North Sea Fleet now uses steel warships, and the enemy cannot get close.If it really doesn't work, just knock the opponent into the sea. "
Lu Xun explained.
Du He nodded.
The warships of the Tang Empire are definitely the most powerful existence on this planet, and they are indeed capable of sinking each other.
Of course, the current level of science and technology in Western countries is unknown, and this is estimated based on the historical process of another plane.
"General, many soldiers vomited?"
A soldier came running to report.
"Tell the soldiers who vomit to spit in the barrel and not to vomit everywhere."
Lawson Road.
"As ordered!"
Du He looked at Li Dejian next to him.
"Dejian, how does your body feel? If you really can't bear it, find a room and lie down. This seasickness,
An adaptation process is required.Warships have only entered the coastal waters, and once they enter the deep sea, the situation will be even worse. "
Doo Ho said.
"General, all right! I'll go and stop chatting with you."
Li Dejian said.
