After the painting, we continued to analyze, "Since we are going to formulate the loading and increase the airtightness of the barrel of the lead gun, we can also make some improvements to the lead bullet … we can change the round lead bullet into a cone."
Wei Zheng said at the moment that the cone-shaped lead bomb is the powerful mini bomb of later generations.
We concentrate on Wei Zheng and continue to analyze the way
"When I say that the tip of this cone-shaped lead bullet is facing outward and the tail is facing outward, not only that, but we also have to make the bottom of the cone-shaped lead bullet concave. You can imagine that once the gunpowder in the gun chamber ignites the bottom of the concave lead bullet, the gunpowder will burn and expand greatly and the barrel wall will be completely close together."
"In this way, when the matchlock gun is fired, there will be no air leakage, and the range of the lead bullet will be further accordingly."
"And we have made it easy to load the lead bullets. The caliber of the lead bullets is slightly smaller than that of the barrel. No matter how strict we are when the lead bullets are fired, we can’t guarantee that the barrel will not leak when the matchlock gun is fired."
When Wei Zheng drew a schematic diagram and explained it, Wang Tiezhong had ordered the Ministry to find all the tools for making paper shells.
The only one of these people, the history museum, has seen the physical features of paper shells, and has not hesitated to take over all the tools.
The first thing to do to make the paper shell bomb is the conical lead bomb.
Pig iron creates a conical iron mold, and molten lead water is injected into the iron mold. When it is about to harden, a round-headed iron bar is pressed into the lead bullet iron mold.
So a cone-shaped lead bullet with a concave tail is completed.
Everyone marveled that Zhongwei Zhengyi’s hands did not stop.
Quickly pick up a piece of oiled paper roll into a paper tube and paste glue into a wooden model with the same caliber as the barrel.
Pour the prepared lead bullets into the paper tube, then pour the prepared gunpowder into the paper tube bit by bit and keep compacting with the wooden stick …
Wang Tiezhong woke up and confirmed that the amount of gunpowder was enough. After compacting the wooden model gunpowder for the last time, he decisively cut off the excess oil paper and sealed the paper tube and tied it to death …
After pulling out the sealed paper shell, a one-and-a-half-inch cylindrical paper shell appeared in front of everyone
On the surface, this paper shell bomb is very rough, but I am satisfied from the bottom of my heart that I can make such a standard for the first time.
To Wang Tie Zhongda ordered, "Master Wang immediately took a matchlock gun and came to see if this custom-made paper shell bullet could be fired …"
Wei Zheng wanted to test the gun himself, but he didn’t agree with the middle class in Wang Tie.
Finally, Wang Tie suggested that an apprentice who specializes in gun testing in the weapon factory take over the paper shell ammunition and start loading it according to the steps described in the Wei Zheng …
The gunner is ready to fire only when he tests a few meters away at half the usual loading time.
Two-handed flat-ended matchlock guns are aimed at a target wearing armor 150 meters away …
"Shoot …" With a full face of hot Wei Zheng decisive ordered.
"Bang …" A violent explosion sounded, and Wei Zheng saw the muzzle of the matchlock gun explode and instantly ejected a powerful flame.
When everyone arrived at the target, the heavy iron breastplate at the target had been smashed through a black hole by lead bullets.
Chapter 54 Dourgen revenge
On the fourth day of November in the second year of Chongzhen, the whole country was shocked by the fall of Zunhua town, which was guarding the north gate of the capital, and was broken by the Tatars.
After the news arrived in the capital, the whole country shook the capital, and the whole capital was in chaos. Officials and people fled the capital to avoid the military disaster that was about to sweep the whole capital.
When the big dynasty, including Chongzhen, panicked because of this.
Personally command this great war, that flag master Dourgen, who is inlaid with white flag, is entertaining senior generals who have just returned from victory with his own big account of wine and meat.
And when the celebration dinner was in full swing, a noisy quarrel suddenly sounded at the tent door to Dourgen’s ear.
Dourgen’s eyebrows a wrinkly to the rear department asked, "What’s going on outside? Don’t the guards know that I’m hosting a banquet for the soldiers who just returned from victory …"
"The slave horse went out to check and drive away those slaves who disturbed Baylor’s interest …"
Dourgen behind his head with a ponytail, Tatar Qinbing knelt on one leg and reported with a flattering face.
Soon, a Tatar officer wearing a general officer was brought in by Qinbing.
Dourgen a pair of puzzled eyes watching QinBing quickly walked to Dourgen’s side and once again knelt down on one leg and reported something to Dourgen’s ear.
Although everyone doesn’t know what QinBing said, it can be judged from Dourgen’s increasingly livid face that this news is definitely not good news.
Indeed as expected QinBing mouth just left dourgen ears dourgen face was replaced by anger.
After shaking hands, the glass was smashed in front of the desk and roared, "Hang it all, cunning Han Chinese, I Dourgen must make you blood out pay the price …"
After that, he roared at the drinking department in front of him, "Stop all the servants’ departments and get out. I have something important to discuss with the generals … and get all the wine and meat out …"
After the tent was completely quiet, Dourgen’s eyes, which could almost kill people, quickly shifted to the center of the tent, where he was kneeling on one leg.
A murderous look on his face ordered, "You report the news you just reported to me again in front of all the company commanders with white flags …"
"It’s Lord Baylor …" The joining staff answered with a face of fear.
More than a dozen eyes looked at each other at the same time and reported with trepidation, "Baylor lords, since I received Baylor’s request for a big search order for Zunhua territory, I launched all the cattle records to investigate the jurisdiction …"
"I didn’t expect that we went to Mushroom Valley to order the warriors to go for half a month and didn’t come back."
"To avoid accidents, I personally led one hundred cavalry to mushroom valley for investigation, but I didn’t expect this slave to find a big secret …"
"We moved around the Mushroom Valley, and more than 300 warriors in the Niulu disappeared. Not only that, we also found a large number of people building walls around the Mushroom Valley …"
"To slave mushroom valley to build the wall, these people are the NiuLu from Zunhua around to get ready to enter the mushroom valley to find out, but I didn’t think that the slave led the cavalry was not close to the mushroom valley, and several warriors even fell into the front of people with horses and dug roads and fell into the horse pit and died …"
"More than 300 warriors have disappeared, and five armored soldiers have been lost here in vain. Of course, it’s not angry that the horse ordered more than 90 warriors to attack the mushroom valley to see what the mushroom valley is hiding. We don’t know the secret. There will be so many people here and a wall will be built around the mushroom valley …"
"But I didn’t think it was Mushroom Valley. There were not only thousands of people who built the walls, but also a certain number of Korean troops and an elite army equipped with a large number of artillery …"
"The slave led the warriors into the archer’s range and prepared to shoot arrows at the mushroom valley. When the mushroom valley was not completed, the wall sounded three shots, and then the warriors in front of the slave were shot by the other side and cut to the ground."
"Slave can be sure that it is the border troops who decorate the wall artillery that are equipped with a large number of medium-sized Franck guns, otherwise the other party can’t shoot the shotgun so far …"
"I’m worried that the mushroom valley is still hidden. We don’t know if the artillery will avoid the collapse of the warriors. I have to order more than 60 warriors to retreat quickly."
