Chapter 950

"Come on, try Chinese rifles and guns."

After the problem of ammunition was ignored, people's attention again focused on Han style rifles and Chen Qi's artillery.

Two people have been ready, leading a party to the school yard.

”Emperor, let the end come. " Niu Zhen licked his lips, a little excited. What he said just now doesn't mean he doesn't like Chinese rifles.

In fact, the generals like new weapons best, but sometimes they have to consider the increasing military expenditure.

Luo Quan picked up another Han style rifle and urged the general to say, "Niu Zhen, today we will have a competition in front of the emperor to see who is better at shooting."

"Well, if one of you wins today, I'll give him a tricycle." Being busy with government affairs all day, Xiao Ming seldom has leisure time. Now he is also in the fun of playing.

When they heard the words, their eyes suddenly turned green. Although Xiao Ming gave them a bicycle, the tricycle was just made by Qingzhou machinery factory.

They have seen this thing, and the eunuchs in the palace are just riding this thing to buy what they need outside the palace.

Although they don't need to ride a tricycle to buy things, it's also a great honor for the servants in the government. Last time he was the first to get a bicycle, he envied a lot of people.

"This tricycle is mine." Niu Zhen took the steel shell bullet from Song Changping's hand, pulled the bullet on the gun and revealed the bore.

Put the bullet in, Niu Zhen reset the bolt and aimed at the target 200 meters away.

"Bang."

Just three seconds of aiming time, Niu Zhen pulled the trigger.

"Hey, this metal bullet is really powerful." Niu Zhen said in a loud voice, "it's obvious that being recoiled by a falcon rifle is more powerful. "

Song Changping explained:" of course, the bullet is filled with smokeless powder, and its air tightness is much better than that of a falcon rifle. "

Luo Quan surprised: "this bullet hit the mountain."

Just now, when he was observing, the bullet from Niu Zhen went through the target and hit a cloud of smoke on the mountain behind him.

”The maximum range of Chinese rifles with metal bullets is 1200 meters, and the effective range is 600 meters. " Song Changping added again.

"Compared with Falcon rifles, it's a big step forward." Xiao Ming looks satisfied. Judging from the development history of firearms, the barrel of rifles is getting shorter and shorter, and the effective range is also getting shorter and shorter.

The effective range of many modern guns is only three or four hundred meters. Only in this era of lack of long-range power can the barrel of rifle be so long and powerful.

"It's my turn." Luo Quan looked at the Chinese rifle in his hand with a lovely look.

Like Niu Yu, he also aimed for three seconds, then pulled the trigger.

Soon, the result reported, Luo Quan lost a ring.

"Hahaha, Niu used to say that he was able to walk through a hundred steps, but now he is old. His strength is not good, but his eyes are not weak." Niu Yu laughs.

Luo Quan was not upset. He said, "if you lose, you lose. But this Chinese rifle is really a good thing. If you can equip the army as soon as possible, the British and French will have to cry."

After a pause, he said to Chen Qi, "this Han style rifle is very powerful. I don't know how about this gun?"

Chen Qi smiles mysteriously, then goes to a gun covered with black cloth, pulls the black cloth, and a gun with silver and white metallic luster appears in front of everyone.

The appearance of this gun is much different from that of the traditional front loaded smoothbore gun, because the gun is through from the beginning to the end, and the muzzle can be seen from the bottom of the gun. Moreover, there is a square hole on the left side 30 cm away from the rear of the gun, and a corresponding square hole on the right side, which looks like a slot.

"How do you fight this gun? "Niu Zhen and Luo Quan were dumbfounded.

Chen Qi gave a smile. Like a baby, he took out a heavy metal object with a square cylinder from the box on one side. Half of the metal object was a round hole as big as the caliber of the gun, and the other half was a metal mirror as big as the caliber of the gun. "Emperor, two generals, this is the biggest secret of the breech gun. Wedge bolt, just round the hole Part of the gun can be loaded through the through hole. After loading, the bolt will continue to slide to the right, and the metal mirror will seal the bottom of the gun

Having said that, he put the bolt in his hand into the gun. At this time, an artillery member picked up the conical shell and put it into the gun, and then put a cylindrical propellant into the barrel.

At this time, Chen Qi completely pushed the gun bolt out of the gun, and the whole gun was integrated. The artillery then put the draw tube into the gun through the fire door on the gun, which used to plug the fire rope, and connected it with the propellant. The other hand pulled the rope.

"Cross wedge breech." Niu Zhen and Luo Quan don't know much, but Xiao Ming is an understanding person.

What Chen Qi uses now is the typical cross wedge bolt in the breech gun. In the contemporary era, the famous Krupp gun used this kind of bolt at the beginning.

Seeing this structure, Xiao Ming was relieved. After several years, Chen Qi's efforts were not in vain. It can be said that if he didn't make a sound, he would have made a great success, which directly brought the artillery to the same level as the Han style rifle."Here, let me try it myself." Xiao Ming took the rope from the artillery.

The rope is very long. In order to ensure safety, he went five meters away to pull the rope.

"Boom!"

Under the pull of the rope, the fire tube exploded in the barrel, and the flame ignited the propellant instantly, pushing the whole shell out of the bore.

"Boom", a burst of explosion from a distance sounded, the mountain 1000 meters away lit up flames and smoke, smoke and debris flying.

At that moment, two artillery soldiers immediately came forward, one pulled the bolt, the other continued to load, and ten seconds later another shell was fired.

Within a minute, the artillery fired six rounds in a row.

At first, Niu Zhen and Luo Quan wanted to say that the power of the shells was almost the same, but here they were shocked and fired six shells a minute. Now the smoothbore guns used in Dayu can only fire one shot a minute, and the veterans only fire two.

On the battlefield, long-range firepower is the key to victory, and artillery is also the primary target of local artillery attack. They are very clear about what kind of change six rounds a minute will bring to the war.

"It's amazing. It's amazing." Niu Zhen looked around the artillery one after another and said, "emperor, you should give this kind of artillery a loud name. "

Chen Qi looks forward to it. Song Changping's rifle is very loud for a Han style. I don't know what his gun should be called?

"It's better to call it the guard gun. "Xiao Ming said with a smile.
