Chapter 972 Firearm
After a long time, Zhou Yu found that the scale of the workshop had expanded a lot in the past few months before and after the New Year, and all the surrounding areas were occupied by the workshop and surrounded by tall courtyard walls.
Then, various buildings with no more than two floors were built in the fence. The reason why they developed so quickly was due to the use of cement and concrete. Even glass windows were popularized here.
Come on.
Although cement has been manufactured for a long time, it can only be used on a small scale in this place. Different buildings use high walls to distinguish different areas to do different research work, and the craftsmen are enthusiastic about their work
It was beyond imagination. I really used all my life's learning and all my passion in this workshop. I also used some of the booklets given by Zhou Yu at the beginning to study many results.
Although it was ancient times, the scientific level of the Ming Dynasty was also the top in the world, and the people gathered here were also the top, and the skills and knowledge passed down from generation to generation should not be underestimated. Don't talk about other places, but just
In this workshop, Zhou Yu has a feeling that he seems to have come to the world two or three hundred years later.
What Zhou Yu pays most attention to in the workshop is the development of firearms, so craftsmen are more specializing in how to improve in this regard. It is not only the change in power but also the change in technology. It is necessary to modify the gunpowder barrel.
Even the entire manufacturing process of thermal weapons has become simpler and safer, and more convenient when used.
Although other aspects are slightly lower than the priority of firearm research, there are also many craftsmen studying it, just like this can be practically produced glass windows... This thing is only available here
Even the wall is impossible to be discharged from the hospital, even Zhou Yu is useless.
"Dean."
"Hello, Dean."
"Dean, you are finally here. We have recorded many questions and have never known how to answer them."
Zhou Yu dressed in luxurious clothes and threw the dragon robe and dignity into the palace. Everyone must know one thing in this workshop, that is, the emperor cannot be called the emperor but should be called the dean.
He is the most knowledgeable person in this Royal Craftsman Academy, and the craftsmen in the Craftsman are all considered students of the dean. If they are to say something else, they are equivalent to being the disciple of the emperor.
Zhou Yu did this purely to enhance the status of craftsmen, but things have to be done step by step. This status improvement is only reflected in the Royal Institute of Technology. The craftsman hierarchy has already seen these craftsmen.
The actual benefits and changes, even if they are just for their own interests, will work harder to create, and at the same time, they will respect and support Zhou Yu who brings all this to them more, and will study more for Zhou Yu even more devotedly.
Something.
When he arrived at the workshop, Zhou Yu first helped answer some of the questions recorded in Jiangzuoyuan, and then went to various different areas to finally come to the most important firearms yard.
The Firearms Institute is the largest internal courtyard, clean and tidy, without any smell, and there is no spark. Only during the day workmanship will be completely blocked to ensure safety issues. At the same time, the Firearms Institute is only responsible for research and will not have any
Production work is carried out here, so the entire environment is still quite safe.
Zhou Yu came in and could see various firearms in the army on both sides of the corridor. There was nothing to say about muskets, and the most interesting thing was the various fire thunder rockets.
At that time, there were already many kinds of grenades, stone thunder, ceramic thunder, bamboo thunder, etc. In Yongle, there were not many types of grenades, but there were many records of mines buried underground.
Due to the limited lethality of gunpowder, it is not stable enough to use, so it is not widely used. If the consumption and effect are not proportional, any weapon will be difficult to be widely used.
However, with the upgraded version of gunpowder and new methods, ceramic thunders of all sizes can also develop rapidly. There are many similar samples here, of course, which will not detonate, let alone gunpowder.
There is no lead.
The other is the rocket, which is the kind of rocket that everyone can understand. The burning arrow is called a rocket, and the missile can also be called a rocket. The kind that is launched towards the universe is also a rocket, and the rocket referred to here is both a burning arrow and a fire arrow.
The missiles launched are the most primitive missiles and have a secondary structure with a range of more than one kilometer. They are outrageous. If you don't consider using this weapon for saturation strikes, not saturation strikes.
It is a fight against saturated enemies.
There is also a rocket called the Divine Fire Crow. The two rockets are tied below and are similar to aircraft above. The whole thing looks like a modern microfighter. There are explosives hidden inside, mostly used for stronghold operations and burning enemy troops.
A swarm of rocket launchers, with a range of about 300 meters, from three consecutive divine arrows to one hundred consecutive shots. The hit rate is better than the previous two, after all, it is a continuous shot number, and it is now underway.
Equipped.
There was a tiger squat cannon invented by Qi Jiguang in the Ming Dynasty. A single person can be equipped with several iron hoop guns with a bracket in front of the body. It can fire one hundred projectiles at a time for large-scale firepower dissemination attacks. The projectiles are fired, not shells, and are lightweight.
The shotgun cannon is purely anti-infantry hooligan. Once it hits the bloody scene, it makes people feel scared.
Now, after being influenced by Zhou Yu, the craftsmen here have created small cannons that are more destructive than tiger squat cannons. There are several different models. There are also ammunitions that can be loaded according to the caliber. The lightest one can be used to determine the
For loaded projectiles, the thick ones can be used to use solid iron eggs to touch them, and there are also modified versions of the unconscience-free cannons.
In terms of muskets, weapons similar to Gatlin were developed during the Ming Dynasty, called Lianzi Gun and Xunlei Gun. Lianzi Gun was already used as paper-tube ammunition. When fired, gunpowder was ignited in turn and then fired one after another.
The Thunder gun is a multi-tube roulette firearm in the true sense, which is more than two hundred years ahead of the West.
But now it is more than two hundred years ahead. Although the weapon hand-cranked Gatlin Bodhisattva designed by Zhou Yu himself needs to take time to clean and reload after each use, it can make multiple guns
All sentient beings before the mouth are equal.
