Chapter 752： The old man wants to help you push!

"9 out of 10, is he not satisfied yet?" Liu Meng asked with surprise.

Kong Tai smiled awkwardly, he did not know why the artillery commander Jacob was so harsh. In fact, artillery commander Jacob was too nervous. After all, before departure, Marin repeatedly emphasized that he must perform well in front of Ming officials. So I was so excited when I saw the eighth shot missed.

This situation is somewhat similar to the future military parade. You usually have nothing to do with the situation, but in the parade in the square, you are ugly, then the problem is big. Based on this consideration, Jacob pulled out the observer of the eighth gun angrily.

However, Jacob's hand bluffed Daming's officials and soldiers-Nima, is the artillery of the North Sea country so powerful? Not satisfied with 9 out of 10? Does it take all hits to qualify? That's a hundred steps away!

Therefore, this unexpected scene made the artillery and artillery of the North Sea State, in the eyes of Daming officials and soldiers, forced Ge Ge to suddenly rise. Even many civil servants in Ming Dynasty are thinking-although this Beihai country is a barbaric country, this artillery technique is still quite powerful ...

It should be known that in the Ming Dynasty of the same period, the artillery did not have sights such as Wangshan and crosshairs. In other words, completely follow the feeling of artillery. And most of Ming's soldiers are illiterate, they don't know the angle or anything, and they don't have sights for them. Therefore, within 20 steps, these artillery soldiers may still be a little more accurate with their eyes. 50 steps away, it is more difficult. With a distance of 100 steps, the novice artillery basically has a lot of gray machines, and the hit is definitely Mongolian. Even those artillery who are more than ten years old can reach the level of 10 rounds, 5 rounds, and 6 highs.

Of course, if it is actually on the battlefield, the hit rate is actually not important. Because the enemy forces must be a swarm of bees. As long as the muzzle angle is not a problem. As long as you shoot straight ahead, you can definitely catch the enemy ...

Therefore, Daming's artillery pays most attention to the vertical angle of the muzzle, but does not pay much attention to the specific hit rate. Anyway, as long as the muzzle is aimed at one side of the enemy, how can some bad luck be caught. "Missing the deputy car" or something is not uncommon in the era of the earth cannon.

However, without comparison, there is no harm. Your old artillery is only ten-five-five-six. A group of small young ten-nine-nine is still being beaten.

So Liu Meng asked curiously:

"Why is artillery in your country so accurate?"

Kong Tai came to offer artillery, so he would brag about the artillery:

"Without him, good cannon ears!"

"Can the Ming artillery give it a try?"

Kong Tai rolled his eyes. He said that he had come to offer artillery, so he could naturally:

"Of course! Since these guns pay tribute to Daming, adults can naturally control it at will!"

Liu Meng nodded and said:

"That's good."

Then he turned to Xu Yong:

"Call some experienced artillery to come and learn how to use the artillery from those people. In addition, the artillery can't speak English, and the messenger helped translate it."

Kong Tai nodded, but said:

"Sir, I am afraid that the artillery will not be able to speak the official language ..." His worry is not unreasonable. Those pawns are illiterate people, and they basically can't speak the official language of the famous name. However, the difference between the two languages ​​and the Mandarin is too great to communicate.

Liu Meng thought about it and waved, saying:

"Liu Xiucai, you accompany the messenger!" Liu Xiucai is a local, Liu Mengzhao's personal staff, that is, Master. Xiucai naturally speaks Mandarin, and as a local, he doesn't have to speak Turkish, which is just used as a translator.

Xu Yong quickly selected five 30- to 40-year-old gunners from the avant-garde firearm camp in Guangzhou, and brought a group of helping young gunners to the Fran machine gun to receive training from the North Sea artillery.

With the help of Kong Tai and Liu Xiucai, Jacob explained the usage of Fran machine guns to these old Ming Ming guns in great detail. Then, let some old Ming Ming artillery try it out. However, before the test, Jacob repeatedly stressed that no more charges are allowed. Even Jacob took out a wooden spoon and stipulated that only three spoons could be charged. Moreover, when filling the medicine, the powder must not be pointed, and it can only be flush with the edge of the wooden spoon.

This is actually Marin's idea. As a liberal arts student who is familiar with history, Marin is very clear about the virtue of the artillerymen and musketeers of the Ming Dynasty. For these uncultured ancient gunners who deteriorated the gunners, the charge was simply following the feeling. Shake your hands while loading more and less while watching the medicine.

Therefore, it is best to equip them with a container for measuring gunpowder powder, and strictly regulate the amount to control the amount of medicine.

This idea was experienced by Marin in his previous life. Of course, it is not the experience of shooting, but the experience of cooking. The cooking skills of Marin's last life were poor at first, mainly because the salt and sugar control was not very good. Often a hand shake, too much salt, or too much sugar ...

Later, he went to the supermarket and bought a very small spoon to measure the seasoning. For example, a pot of vegetables, two spoons of salt, three spoons of sugar ... After repeated practice, Marin has never had any problems with salt when he cooks ...

And this method, used to restrain the ancient artillery and musketeer, can not be better. To this end, Marin asked carpenters to make special wooden spoons. The artillery used a large wooden spoon to charge three spoons. The Musketeer uses a small wooden spoon to charge a small spoon. In this way, you can control the amount of medicine.

Of course, in the late Ming Dynasty, the musketeers deliberately refrained from charging medicine, and they could not blame the musketeers. Because the muskets produced by the Daming Engineering Department are too special. If enough medicine is loaded according to the requirements, it is easy to explode and kill the musketeer himself. Therefore, the late Musketeers were forced to charge less. However, in this way, the musket really becomes a bird of prey. It can only kill birds, not people ...

To this end, Marin intends to help Daming introduce the system of inscription of the barrel. That is, every gun is made, and the craftsman must engrave his name and work number. Once the bomb is blown in the future, the relevant responsible person will be found based on the name and job number, and then severely punished ...

In this way, the craftsmen would not dare to deal with it casually. Of course, if there is a problem with iron material, it can also be traced back to the official responsible for the supply of iron material through the craftsman. After all, if it is a raw material problem, then the batch of barrels will be wrong.

It is through this strict accountability system that Europe has effectively controlled the quality of the barrel and avoided the grief of the musketeers in the late Ming Dynasty.

...

In a matter of hours, because of strict regulations and the fact that those artillerymen were veterans, they had a good foundation. The five veteran artillery soldiers of the Ming Dynasty quickly mastered how to control the Frang gun.

Then, with the assistance of the apprentices, the five old Ming Ming artillery soldiers started firing in person ...

"Boom-Boom-Boom ..." A few guns came down, and the Ming officials and soldiers present were surprised to find that these five old gunners all hit targets that were a hundred steps away ...

"It's so evil? Come back a few times to see!" You Buzheng surprised Liu Meng.

Then, the five old gunners fired a few more shots. As a result, the five old gunners fired a total of 5 rounds of 25 shots, only one shot was missed.

The Daming officials and soldiers present were all shocked ...

What shocked them was not just the high hit rate of this artillery, its rate of fire, but also shocked the experts present ...

Because, Liu Meng and other experts were shocked to find that these old gunners actually fired 5 shots in 50 breaths, and the average shot was 10 shots ...

What speed is this? It shocked all the experts present ...

You should know that Daming ’s earthen cannon can only be fired by an average of 120 breaths (that is, two minutes) every time it is bombarded. And this Franc cannon can actually reach 10 breaths, which is terrifying ...

Of course, this is not the case. According to Kong Tai's explanation, this is because all five Zi-Buns are filled and they can only be beat in one go. Counting the loading time of Zi-Zhong ~ www.novelhall.com ~ is not that fast. In addition, according to the rules of gun operation, after 5 rounds of buns are beaten each round, the artillery should use a wet sponge to fully cool the gun body and the rounds to avoid overheating of the barrel, which will lead to explosion. After that, it is necessary to dry it with a dry sponge ...

Calculated in this way, in fact, Fran cannons fire an average of three or four guns per minute. That is to fire a shot around 20 interest.

Nevertheless, a group of knowledgeable Daming officials such as Liu Meng and Xu Yong were stunned by this rate of fire. Because, this rate of fire is six times that of the Ming Ming artillery ...

Moreover, after testing, this Frang cannon can indeed reach two hundred steps (300 meters), and the range is twice the distance of the Daming cannon ...

(Note: The 300-meter range here is an effective range, not including the final range without killing. If you calculate the full range, it is farther. As for the Fran cannon's historical record of two thousand feet, which is 666.7 meters, it should be The total range, including the last stage of the effective range after the effective range. Because most Ming Ming officials do not understand artillery, when recording the range, only the total range is used, not the effective range.)

"With such a sharp artillery, the old man must strongly recommend it to the court!" Liu Meng shouted excitedly! Replaced by the sayings of the post-world literary world, it means "the old man wants to help you make a strong push" ...
