Chapter 462

The cold texture of the metal comes from the body of the flint gun.

Raising his flint gun and aiming ahead, Xiao Ming said, "maybe you can try another kind of bullet, which is easier to fill with round bullets. "

it has been a while since flint guns were produced and equipped, and Xiao Ming has been psychologically prepared for the emergence of rifles. In the contemporary era, the first rifles was born in the early 15th century, which is called rifles.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Danish army in Europe was the first to equip and use rifles. However, at this time, the production of rifles was complex, and it was very difficult to load. As a result, rifles did not exist on a large scale in the European army, but as a part of the scattered line to cooperate with the attack of the flint gun troops.

At the same time, the difficulty of loading is part of the problem. Black powder, a kind of low-intensity explosive, makes the range of rifles not too outstanding. However, compared with smoothbore guns, the range of black powder based rifles has increased from 90 meters to 200 meters, which is very good.

Now he can't change the black powder, but for Xiao Ming, he can change the bullet. After all, he is very clear about the disadvantages of the rifled gun, and also knows how to control this kind of disadvantages. What he told song Changping was the future miner's bullet.

"Your Highness, are you talking about cylindrical bullets in books?" Song Changping said: "it is precisely because of the difficulty in loading round lead bullets that the lower officials are trying to produce such cylindrical bullets. "

" you're already making this kind of bullet? Yes, you're making more and more progress. " Xiao Ming laughs.

The miner rifle of miner's bullet is the front loaded rifles of the 19th century. This kind of rifle has great power, and its range can reach 900 meters, and its accuracy can be guaranteed within 500 meters.

It's a pity that song Changping's rifles and the re produced Mini bullets have met the requirements of this kind of rifle, but they can't keep up with the gunpowder. After all, the gunpowder used in the mini rifles in that period was strong gunpowder.

Therefore, according to his estimation, song Changping's rifled gun with a mini bullet can at least achieve a range of about 300 meters, and there is no problem in maintaining accuracy within 150 meters.

Moreover, because the caliber of the bullet is slightly smaller than that of the rifle, the problem that the bullet is too large to plug into the barrel or block the barrel during the front loading is solved at one stroke.

Because the slightly smaller Mini bullet can be easily pushed into the gun chamber with the push rod, thus greatly improving the firing speed.

At the same time, the mini bullet is threaded around the bullet body to match the rifling, the middle of the thread is filled with animal oil, and the bottom of the bullet is made of cork.

When shooting, the gunpowder gas impacts the cork, and the cork suddenly enlarges the bullet after instant impact.

The bullet is propped up, so the chamber can be sealed by the bullet itself at the moment of firing, and the kinetic energy of the bullet will not be lost due to the leakage of gunpowder gas, thus greatly increasing the range of the bullet.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ming infers that song Changping's rifled gun can increase its range to 300 meters or even 400 meters after using the mini bullet.

”However, it is a pity that the production of this kind of bullet is more troublesome, and soldiers can't make bullets anytime and anywhere on the battlefield. "Said Song Changping.

Xiao Ming said: "there are advantages and disadvantages. As the manufacturing cycle of rifles is long, a small batch of equipment troops will be produced for the time being. Now that Lin Wentao has made the steam engine, it may not be a problem in a while. If you go back now, you should focus on how to draw rifles and produce cylindrical bullets. "

Song Changping nodded. He pulled out the rifled gun by hand with a hook knife, which was very time-consuming and laborious. Although he didn't know what Xiao Ming said about the steam engine, it seemed to be a very powerful thing.

After leaving the rifles behind, song Changping talked to Xiao Ming about some skills in manufacturing the rifles, and then returned to the military workshop.

He came here mainly to seek Xiao Ming's opinions on rifles. Now he has the power support of Xiao Ming. After he goes back, he will be free to produce new rifles.

Seeing song Changping leave, Xiao Ming looks at the first rifled gun in Chongqing with a smile. The progress of the fiefdom day by day comforts him.

With these technological foundations, he felt that his fiefdom was more and more secure, but now the most important thing for him is how to apply the steam engine to the production of all walks of life in Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, he thought about it for a night. The next day, he went to the equipment department and asked Lin Wentao and Zhang Liu to come.

"Your Highness."

Lin Wentao is still in an excited mood because of the advent of the steam engine, but Zhang Liu seems more calm, because the equipment department was the first to catch up with Xiao Ming and saw too much wind and rain.

Last night, Xiao Ming thought for a long time, and decided to let Lin Wentao and Zhang Liu set up Qingzhou steam engine workshop, which is to mass produce steam engines. Therefore, he said: "the reason for calling you is very simple. Now you two are responsible for the production of steam engines. Therefore, Wang is going to set up a workshop, which will be in the charge of you two. Lin Wentao is the supervisor of the workshop and Zhang Liu is the supervisor of the workshop He was left as the Deputy Supervisor. "

" steam engine workshop? " Lin Wentao is excited when he hears that he used to be a student. Now he wants to be a supervisor of a workshop. His position is directly comparable to that of Chen Qi and Lu Tong. He is naturally happy.Zhang Liu is also smiling, which is a kind of promotion for both of them.

"What? I don't like it. " Xiao Ming joked.

"Yes, yes, how can we not? "Lin Wentao and Zhang Liu laughed at the same time.

Xiao Ming nodded, then handed a book to Zhang Liu, which recorded how to combine the steam engine with other machines. Later, Lin Wentao was responsible for production and technical improvement, while he was responsible for the use of the steam engine.

Zhang Liu took over the book and turned it over. He felt deeply shocked. In his eyes, Xiao Ming is omniscient.

After setting the personnel, the rest is the location, capital and the craftsmen in the workshop.

In order to make the steam engine workshop put into production one day earlier, he assigned half of the craftsmen of the equipment department to Lin Wentao.

The craftsman of this equipment department has always been Xiao Ming's Royal craftsman, and now he is willing to give up his love, which shows that he is determined to use the steam engine.

The three agreed on this matter. Xiao Ming immediately asked Chen Wenlong to select a workshop in the workshop area. At the same time, he asked Lin Wentao to send the first steam engine to the lathe workshop to combine with the boring machine to cut the cylinder.

The difficulty of steam engine production is the cutting of cylinder. Now with the first steam engine, the efficiency will be improved.

After setting up a steam engine workshop, Xiao Ming sent the structural drawing of Jennie's textile machine to Chen Wenlong for the rest of the craftsmen to produce.

This year, he will let the textile industry of Qingzhou dominate the state of Chongqing.
