Chapter 721: When the golden thief comes, taste the artillery, move like thunder, made by heaven
"The sealing problem of this thing that sprays poisonous water has not been solved. It is purely a death-making process on your body... This wrist guard's palm thunder, the explosives inside are not insured, and will blow up your arms..." Shen Mo looked over and picked up some equipment.
, hand it over to Ling Xiaozi next to him.
When Shen Mo walked all the way, he had been visiting the entire exhibition room. When he turned around, he realized that Ling Xiaozi was already holding a lot of things in his arms!
Although he didn't even know any of the things in it, it didn't stop Ling Xiaozi from being happy as if a woman gave birth to a little Taoist priest for him!
"We, Squad Leader Mu, need to help you transform these things." Shen Mo gestured to Ling Xiaozi and Mu Qingxuan.
"Swap all the poisonous things for him to make a pill, so that this old Taoist would not poison him to death." Shen Mo ordered Mu Qingxuan:
"All gunpowder sprays and explosive weapons are added with insurance. Test the seal safety of the explosion-proof things, and then teach him how to wear them and how to use them!"
As Shen Mo gave orders, Mu Qingxuan nodded repeatedly.
"The things I brought for you can wear on you. When the Taoist robe is covered, you can basically not see it outside."
Shen Mo patted Ling Xiaozi's shoulder and said, "Now you are not a person with no power, but don't use these things indiscriminately! Let me know that you dare to use these things to do bad things, be careful of me..."
"I don't dare!" Ling Xiaozi immediately agreed in fear and fear!
...
Half a day later, when Ling Xiaozi walked out of the headquarters of the Tianjiao Fifth Camp this time... Now he is no longer the liar in the world, but has suddenly become a demonic path full of magic weapons!
Now this guy looks at people with a strange and evil smell, as if no one in the world is his opponent.
This old Taoist, now all the ones he wears are top-notch vicious hidden weapons that have never been in this era!
Even Shen Mo himself did not expect that his unintentional act, which was like a joke, would actually make Ling Xiaozi truly a pivotal figure in the future soon!
...
After Ling Xiaozi finished all these trivial matters, Shen Mo immediately checked the production capacity of his factory and decisively increased the production volume of artillery.
During this battle with the Xixia people, Shen Mo obviously felt the great troubles brought to him by the insufficient number of artillery.
The Western Xia Iron Cavalry, who was galloping like mountains and seas, was still approaching like a steel wall with Shen Mo and his friends' crazy shooting, which made our Shen Langjun suffer from severe phobia of insufficient firepower.
So he can no longer wait anymore, and he must use a killer like artillery to form combat power in advance!
In fact, at present, there are still some difficulties in popularizing artillery, and the most important point is the safety of shell fuses.
The moment the shell is released from the bore, it will put huge pressure on the shell fuse. In this case, the fuze must be foolproof. Otherwise, an unqualified shell may blow up the entire artillery position in succession.
But even if there is no qualified fuse now, Shen Mo's artillery must be launched. Shen Mo has now made up his mind to make his artillery troops scale as soon as possible even with solid round iron ball shells!
So based on the previous 12-centimeter cannon, Shen Mo redesigned two types of cannons and ordered military factories to increase production capacity to start manufacturing.
The calibers of these two types of artillery are 14.\n5 and 16 cm respectively. Within the naval standards of Shen Mo's previous life, these three artillery correspond to: 12 cm caliber 12 pound cannon, 14.\n5 cm caliber 24 pound cannon, and 16 cm caliber 32 pound cannon.
In order to form combat power as soon as possible, all three types of artillery can fire shotguns designed by Shen Mo. At the same time, it also adds solid circular shells and circular explosive bombs.
There is nothing to say about the solid shell, it is actually a solid large round iron ball. The so-called 32-pound cannon is actually a ball made of 32-pound lead, which can be stuffed into a 16-centimeter muzzle. As for the explosion function, you only need to cast a hollow iron ball, then stuff it with gunpowder, and then fill it with the small hole leading to the outside of the iron ball (the hole used to empty cast sand and fill explosives) as a detonation fuze.
It's OK.
The moment this shell is released from the cavity, the medicine twist fuse stained with black gunpowder will naturally be ignited by the flames in the cavity.
Afterwards, after the shell hit the enemy's ships and flew into the camp of the opponent's soldiers, the explosion formed by the shells would immediately cause huge damage! Now, since Shen Mo's steel smelting technology and hydraulic forging steel technology are becoming more mature, in fact, the forged steel cannons he made are far beyond the fire of the Royal Navy in the Nelson era in terms of the toughness of the material and weight reduction.
Cannon level.
So even if these cannons were 32 pounds, their weight was actually far less than one-third of the cast iron cannons at that time.
On the contrary, due to the soot processing and artillery boring technology, the artillery has better airtightness, the projectiles fired are more accurate, and have an extremely long range.
As for the components of the artillery, the army also has a iron-wood composite artillery car. The navy uses a rail buffer. Both types of artillery are equipped with thread fixing devices that adjust pitch and firing boundaries.
In addition, in order to adapt to the harsh climate, the artillery excitation mechanism has also changed from a fire-pull tube to a copper fire-pull tube installed on the gun door, and is excitated by mercury.
...
After finishing all these things, Shen Mo finally welcomed the most important thing after he came back.
Now, the Lugang Martyrs Cemetery, located in the easternmost part of Chongming Island, has been completed. Now he will lead all the reorganized troops to hold public memorials for his comrades who have sacrificed.
The tomb of the Lugang Martyrs faces the sea at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It is a gentle hill. It is full of green pines and cypresses all year round, lush and green.
With Shen Mo's funding to build, this place has become a burial place for all the soldiers and officers who died in battle.
