Chapter 1648 Come out, artillery multiplication technology
Seeing Ou Zhige eager to study gunpowder, Zhu Pingan stood up and left understandingly.
Next stop, Zhang Hong.
The same process, the same routine, the same courteous corporal, the same greetings and chatting about home affairs, and then inadvertently revealed that he had once been in charge of the Hanlin Academy Library, which contained hundreds of firearms classics, as well as a collection of Ming Dynasty The latest, most cutting-edge, and most confidential firearms classics researched and developed, and of course the more than ten firearms classics on Europa, Franconian, Red-haired Yi and other foreign countries that have been carefully collected by this department.
“More than ten firearms classics about Europa, Folangji, and Red Mao Yi?! Are there artillery aspects among them?”
When he heard that there were more than ten firearms books of Europa, Franco, Hongmao and other foreign peoples in the library of Hanlin Academy, Zhang Hong's hand holding the tea cup couldn't help trembling, and the tea was spilled, and he was not excited at all. Weaker than Ou Zhige.
He was someone who once went to Nanyang to steal artillery from the Hong Yi. After stealing artillery from the Nanyang for a period of time, he knew that although the Hong Yi and others were barbarians and did not know etiquette, their muskets and artillery were far ahead of the others. Daming.
"Of course there is. There is also a book dedicated to the study of an artillery called the Fo Lang machine gun. The book records that "the bullets are falling like rain and are invincible. The cannon is made of copper because it is made of Buddha. It was cast by Langji people, hence the name I am very interested in the Folan cannon. Before the Folan cannon, my Ming artillery had to be loaded with gunpowder in the front and could not be fired continuously. After firing one round, the artillery had to cool down before it could be used in practice. The limitations are quite large, and the Franco machine gun has It is equipped with sub-guns. When firing, the sub-guns filled with gunpowder are loaded into the mother gun. After firing, the sub-guns are discarded and withdrawn. Another sub-gun can be fired. Several sub-guns can be quickly replaced, which greatly increases the firing speed and is of great benefit in actual combat. . Oh, and A book records a cannon called the Hongyi Cannon, which is more than two feet long, weighs two to three thousand kilograms, can shoot several miles, and is extremely powerful. "
Zhu Ping'an replied without hesitation. , and at the end there was a mention of Hongyi Cannon.
After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, Zhang Hong couldn't help himself with excitement. The Fo Lang machine artillery described by Zhu Pingan was completely correct, and when he stole the Hongmao Yi artillery in Nanyang, he used it to attack the Hong Mao Yi. The bow of the ship was seen once by Zhu Ping'an. The "Hongyi Cannon" described in the book, although he did not know that the cannon was called the Hongyi Cannon at the time, the three-foot-long cannon left a deep impression on him at that time. This shows that there is really something about Europa, A classic book on the artillery of Hongmao Yi and other foreign barbarians.
In order to improve his artillery skills, he left his hometown and traveled to Southeast Asia, where he learned how to make artillery under the auspices of the Red Mao Yi.
Although he racked his brains and tried his best to learn a lot of techniques from the red-haired barbarians, he still stole the skills from the red-haired barbarians. Without the comprehensive guidance of the red-haired barbarians, he still did not transfer firearms such as the Franco machine gun. Mastery of craftsmanship.
If he were to evaluate it himself, he would probably have only learned about 50%. The effectiveness of the Franco machine gun he copied was far inferior to the real Franco machine gun made by Hong Maoyi, which made him feel very unwilling.
How can I not be excited now that I heard that there are more than a dozen classics on Europa, Red-haired Yi and other foreign firearms in the library of the Hanlin Academy.
“Although it is a bit abrupt, I wonder if adults could study these classics at that time and still remember their contents now.”
Zhang Hong asked excitedly.
Zhu Pingan said what he said to Ou Zhige to Zhang Hong again. He has a good memory. He had a lot of time at the time. He read it several times and still remembered about 70 to 80% of the content. and so on.
"Please teach me about foreign artillery, Zhang Hong. In my life, I, Zhang Hong, will only listen to you. I will not dare to disobey what you say."
Zhang Hong is also the same as Ou Zhige. , knelt down excitedly, expressed his loyalty to Zhu Pingan, and asked Zhu Pingan for advice.
The reason why Zhang Hong and Ou Zhige both knelt down to express their loyalty may be because they were from humble backgrounds and had nothing to offer, so they had to sell themselves to others, which was the only bargaining chip they could use. Come on.
"Master Zhang's words are serious. Please get up quickly. Master Zhang is our master craftsman from the Zhejiang Army. Naturally, I know everything I can say."
Zhu Ping'an helped Zhang Hong up and headed towards Ou Zhi. What Ge said again was said to Zhang Hong to reassure him.
"Please enlighten me, sir. I, Zhang, will definitely live up to your expectations." Zhang Hong said with a serious look on his face.
“I’ve read a lot about artillery. It’s been so long and I’m a little confused at the moment, so I’ll just talk about it wherever I think of it. I’ll come often to discuss it with Master Zhang in the future. It must be like that. The rear sights are installed on both sides of the Lang machine gun, which can assist aiming and increase the hit rate. Master Zhang must be aware of it."
Zhu Ping'an took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Yes, the red-haired Yi was so whimsical that he added a rear sight to the gun body, which greatly improved the hit rate. Our artillery has never had this device, and it can be used as a reference for other artillery to increase the hit rate."
< br>Zhang Hong nodded vigorously and replied.
“Yes, some of Hong Maoyi’s ideas are of great reference value. For example, he added a steel hoop to the gun body to hoop the gun body like a hoop. According to his book, it can be effectively imitated. The artillery exploded."
Zhu Ping'an gave another example.
"Oh, that makes sense. Steel hoops can be added to prevent the artillery from exploding. Although it cannot be prevented 100%, it can certainly greatly reduce the artillery exploding." After hearing this, Zhang Hong was deeply inspired and nodded repeatedly.
"Regarding the Folang machine gun, our Ming Dynasty's latest and most cutting-edge artillery classics have also been studied. Regarding the Folang machine gun, our Ming Dynasty's capital military warfare bureau has also tested it many times, made innovations, and obtained several practical results. Specifically, I can't remember much. I only remember three points. The first one is Zi Gun Yi. It must fit closely with the mother gun; the second is to use the three-point-one-line method when aiming with the rear sight of the Franco machine gun, that is, the rear sight, front sight and the target are connected in a straight line; the third is more practical, in the child gun A wooden handle is added to facilitate loading, unloading and fixing."
Zhu Ping'an continued.
“I have also noticed that the sub-gun fits the mother gun perfectly. At three points and one line, the sub-gun is equipped with a wooden handle. It is indeed a military strategy of the capital. It really deserves its reputation.” Zhang Hong said with admiration. , he was deeply inspired.
“I won’t say more about the surface truth about the Folang machine gun, the addition of lugs on the gun body to facilitate the transfer, but there is one thing I want to talk to Master Zhang.” Zhu Ping’an His tone became serious.
"Please teach me, sir." Zhang Hong cupped his fists and bowed deeply.
"There are more than ten firearms classics written by foreigners such as Europa and Folangji. Many of them mention the artillery caliber doubling technology, saying that it is one of the fundamental principles of artillery. This technology must be followed when making artillery." Zhu Ping'an said with a look on his face. Said solemnly.
"Artillery caliber doubling technology? The fundamental principle of artillery, which must be followed when making artillery?"
Zhang Hong heard the word 'artillery caliber doubling' for the first time in his life, and his mouth widened in surprise. , just like hearing the heavenly book. (End of this chapter)
