Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

The meeting on the afternoon of April 5th in the sixth year of Tianxuan was mainly to discuss the internal affairs of the Yihou Territory in the Eastern Continent after the victory of the Red Leaf Principality. Su Yan and Su Qiaoer gave many specific strategies, and Kong Ming and Xinping also provided Nice constructive comments.

After the meeting, Su Yan, Su Qiaoer and Xinping left the lord's hut one after another, but Kong Ming kept shaking the goose feather fan leisurely.

Qu Mao looked at Kong Ming seriously, and asked, "Kong Ming, why don't you go back to Lian Dao and continue tinkering with your artillery and muskets, and stay in the lord's hut and continue watching me?"

Kong Ming shook his goose feather fan, smiled, and said, "My lord, you are aware of the actual situation of the research and development of muskets and artillery that my subordinates are now in charge of.

The current main task of the musket laboratory is to seize the time to produce the original arquebus finished product and deliver it to the newly formed musketeer team; the artillery is mainly to cooperate with the navy to carry it on the warship. The naval heroes are more worried than our laboratory personnel.

The subordinates have not done any research on how to maintain the stability of the warship and the accuracy of shooting after the artillery is mounted on the warship.

Therefore, my subordinates have absolutely no direction for further research on muskets and artillery. Instead of going back and thinking hard, my subordinates might as well stay by your side and see if you have any suggestions for building a strategic plan or enlightening wisdom. "

Qu Mao let out a long sigh, and said, "Kong Ming, my views on muskets and cannons were clearly drawn in the concept map when I gave you the concept map.

So if you guard me now, it is basically impossible to gain anything new. "

Kong Ming slapped the palm of his left hand heavily with the handle of the goose feather fan, and said, "My lord, the problem lies in your concept drawing. After reading the concept drawing you drew countless times, my subordinates found that we are The guns and cannons produced are very different from the guns and cannons drawn in your conception map, my lord. Therefore, my subordinates believe that there must be some blind spots in their cognition. This is why the subordinates are here to guard you, my lord. key reason.

If you don't understand these cognitive blind spots, the subordinate thinks that it is difficult to advance the research of muskets and artillery, so the subordinate hopes that you can clear up the confusion for the subordinate. "

Qu Mao thought for a while, and had to take out a piece of paper and a pen again, and began to draw the shape of the bullet on the paper, and said while drawing: "Kong Ming, this is the ammunition for muskets and cannons, and the difference is only the size of the individual." .

This is a warhead, which is made of metal, and many lead, iron, and copper are used as warheads; this is a bullet case, which is cylindrical in shape, and is also made of metal, with more copper; the interior of the bullet case will be filled with gunpowder, and then Seal it with a bullet.

The diameter of the bullet is generally consistent with the inner diameter of the barrel of the musket or the barrel of the artillery, which has good airtightness and will not affect the ejection of the bullet.

You combine the musket and cannon I drew for you before, what you call the little tongue in the circle of the butt, we call it the trigger, once the trigger is pulled, there is a metal firing pin in the butt that strikes the back of the bullet case, This triggers the explosion of the gunpowder in the case, which, once detonated, propels the bullet out.

Let’s not talk about artillery for the time being. I know that firearms in another world generally have a range of more than 300 meters. A few firearms with high accuracy have a range of more than 2 kilometers.

I don’t know much about other things. Anyway, in another world, there are submachine guns and machine guns that shoot continuously. A submachine gun can fire 20 to 30 rounds of bullets in one shot, and a machine gun can fire hundreds of bullets in a minute. "

Kong Ming's goose feather fan fell to the ground without realizing it, and his mouth opened wide in surprise.

Qu Mao glanced at Kong Ming and said, "The firing device of the gun is mainly mechanical, which should be your specialty. There should be some specialized knowledge in the production of bullets and barrel production, which I don't quite understand. Place, you study slowly, I think this is a new direction.

A musket from another world can also easily replace the shell casing near the butt while shooting.

And the musket will have a ruler on the top of the barrel, and a ruler on the butt for aiming. "

Only then did Kong Ming come back to his senses, nodded, and said, "Replacing countless marbles with one warhead really requires a higher level of intensive shooting to maintain the deterrent effect of this weapon.

However, as you said, 20-30 rounds of bullets are fired in a row, or even a musket that fires hundreds of bullets in a minute, the shooting accuracy is not necessary to be so high.

But, can such a small warhead be fired 300 meters away?

And with only one striker, can it really ignite the gunpowder in the metal casing? "

Qu Mao spread his hands helplessly, handed the diagram of the bullet he had drawn to Kong Ming, and said, "Kong Ming, that's not what I understand. I can only describe to you the final effect of the musket in another world, and how to achieve it. I think you still need to study hard.

I already admire your ingenuity for being able to produce the original matchlock gun according to my concept drawing. "

Kong Ming held the schematic diagram of the bullet drawn by Qu Mao in both hands, fell into a state of hysteria, and muttered to himself: "Is it the same principle as the explosive kit?

The biggest problem encountered by the Musketeers in training now is that the amount of gunpowder loaded by different fighters is different each time, and the degree of compaction of the gunpowder is also different.

It is a good solution to fix the amount of gunpowder loaded each time in the form of bullets, but how to ignite it..."

When Qu Mao heard Kong Ming talking to himself, his eyes straightened. He was just talking nonsense. Could it be that Kong Ming was going to research the flintlock gun and paper-wrapped ammunition against the sky?

In the history of the development of muskets, this problem can only be solved in at least ten years.

Qu Mao saw that Kong Ming was completely immersed in his own world, so he patted Kong Ming on the shoulder and said, "Kong Ming, I can only give you a relative direction, and you have to study the specific details by yourself.

At present, the original matchlock guns are used to train musketeers, which should still be sufficient.

Let’s train the Musketeers to 1,000 soldiers first. The more people use it, the more specific the needs will be, which will also give a new direction for research. "

Kong Ming shook the goose feather fan quickly, and said, "My lord, there are currently three directions for improvement of the original matchlock gun: one is safety, the other is the convenience of operation, and the third is the extension of the shooting range.

My lord, please rest first, and my subordinates will immediately go to Liandao to conduct new research on muskets. "

Qu Mao was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to say anything else to Kong Ming, Kong Ming had already left the lord's hut quickly.
