The night is still, only the fire flickers.
Looking at the stars in the prairie sky, Ponto worried. He said to them, "look at the beautiful prairie sky. It would be a pity to lose them."
Bach, the flag leader of tumu tribe, and wotai, the flag leader of Tiemu tribe, looked at Pangduo at the same time. They looked at each other firmly. Bach said: "because of this, we can't lose these grasslands. Even if we fight to the last person, we have to keep our land. "
" yes, the state of Dayu has taken away our Guandong, and now we still want to take away our grassland. If we retreat, where can we retreat? This war is a life and death battle between our Golden Horde and the state of Dayu, and every man on the grassland should guard it with blood. "
Pondo nodded admiringly. He raised his wine glass and said, "war is imminent. I just hope you two can work together. As soon as Tian Khan's troops arrive, we can join hands to destroy the army of Da Yu state. "
" well, chief pondo has always been resourceful. This time we will listen to you. "Bach and wotai said together.
……
Qingzhou.
Xiao Ming is watching the new weapons made by song Changping in the military factory.
After the official announcement of the name of the Chinese Empire, song Changping found him and said it was a gift for the Chinese Empire.
"According to the structural drawings provided by the emperor, after many tests, the officer can ensure that this machine gun can be put into use officially." Song Changping said, pointing to the gun in front of him.
different traditional rifles, the simultaneous interpreting of Song Changping's arms is very peculiar. In brief, the gun has a wheeled base similar to field artillery and a circle of iron on the barrel, which makes the barrel look very strong.
"So how many bullets can this gun shoot per minute? What's the caliber? "Xiao Ming's eyes are shining. These two days, he is worried about the northern expedition. Unexpectedly, song Changping gave him a big gift.
After the metal bullet was officially put into production, he asked song Changping to start developing the cavalry's killer machine gun, and the gun drawings he gave song Changping were based on the Markham machine gun.
Because this kind of heavy machine gun, invented in 1883, can be produced with the current industrial capacity of Qingzhou. After all, it has solved the problem of metal bullets, which means that bullets are not a problem. At the same time, in the course of these years' War, the steel industry of Qingzhou has been making progress, and the barrel material chromium alloy has been studied. With the specific ratio provided by him, the current gun pipe material has been improved It's not expected to be as modern as it is today, but the 19th century Markham machine gun is enough.
"Emperor, this kind of machine gun can shoot about 600 bullets per minute, and the caliber is the same as the rifle bullets we use now. They are all 7.92mm. The purpose of this is to avoid adding more bullet production lines." Song Changping said.
Xiao Ming nodded. The original caliber of Markham machine gun is 11.43 mm, but this is not the only caliber standard of machine gun. Now Song Changping changed the caliber of machine gun to 7.92 mm. He can only say that this machine gun can't be called heavy machine gun, it can only be called general machine gun. The caliber of this machine gun belongs to medium caliber.
Xiao Ming is very satisfied with song Changping's choice, which shows that song Changping has his own thinking and does not blindly follow the drawing mechanically.
"You did a good job, so that the machine gun could fight with normal rifle bullets. "Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Then he went to the side of the machine gun and looked at it carefully.
Similar to the structure of marchin machine gun in my memory, song Changping used the water cooling method to cool the barrel, so the barrel of the machine gun was coated with something similar to the barrel, which contained water.
For this machine gun, the biggest problem song Changping solved is actually the automation of the machine gun, which requires the use of bullet gas as kinetic energy to unlock, withdraw, deliver and re lock the gun.
"Emperor, the structure of this machine gun is much more complicated than that of a Han style rifle. The base of this machine gun is a small machine, which uses crank, roller and acceleration cam. The principle is similar to that of a steam engine, but the steam engine uses steam. The automatic loading of this machine gun relies on the gas of bullets."
On the other hand, song Changping pointed to the button on the back of the machine gun and said: "emperor, as long as you press this button to release the resistance iron, the hammer will hit the needle and fire the primer to fire the bullet. Once the bullet flies away from the muzzle, it will start to unlock. With the help of the thrust of the gunpowder gas, the gun will be pushed backward to overwhelm the hammer. At the same time, the resistance iron will buckle the hammer. At the same time, the cartridge wheel will rotate the cartridge teeth Pull out the new bullet, throw the shell out of the previous cartridge case, and then the gun recoil is completed. Under the thrust of the recoil spring, the gun moves forward to send the new bullet into the gun chamber to complete the locking. If you let go at this time, the iron stopper will always hang the hammer and cannot fire. If you press it all the time, the iron stopper will release the hammer and fire again after the locking is completed. This is the whole principle of the machine gun. "
Hearing the speech, Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction. From this point, it can be seen that song Changping understood the principle of Markham machine gun thoroughly.
However, although the machine gun was made based on makchin, it was different from makchin. So he said to song Changping, "it seems that you really understand the principle of firearms. In recognition of you, this machine gun is named Changping machine gun. "Song Changping was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with excitement. For a man who studies guns all day, there is nothing more glorious than this.
”Emperor, really? It's just that I don't deserve the name of this machine gun. "Song Changping has ups and downs in his heart.
"This machine gun was originally made by you, so it's reasonable to name it by your name. Besides, the appearance of this machine gun means a major breakthrough in weapons for our Chinese family. I also hope that more guns will be made by you in the future." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"Chinese family? "Song Changping was stunned again.
With a faint smile on his lips, Xiao Ming said, "country, country, only a country can have a home, only a home can have a country, Chinese Empire, Chinese family, one meaning. "
with a knowing smile, song Changping bowed himself and said," what the emperor said is very true. Now the emperor is the parents of this family, and we are all members of this family. "
after a few words of ridicule, Xiao Ming introduced the topic to Changping machine gun again. He said," by the way, I haven't seen the power of this machine gun yet? "
When song Changping came back to himself, he immediately called the workers of two military factories and said, "now show the emperor. "
along the way, two strong workers quickly came to the machine gun. One worker held the machine in both hands, and the other put the bullets connected by canvas into the gun.
