Chapter 2101： Improved "1 nest of bees"

"The rise of the emperor (!

A swarm of bees was blown into the legendary artifact of the Ming Dynasty version of Katyusha by Ming fans. But Marin did not agree, mainly because he had seen an issue of "The Secret of Ancient Weapons", as mentioned above, the performance of a swarm was unstable. The main thing is that it starts to fly around after 45 meters, which is comparable to the lead shot of a musket.

Therefore, although the swarm of bees launches with great momentum, if the distance is too far, the effect is often not good. Even at a close distance of 45 meters, the probability of the dummy team being hit in the show is only 90%. Over 100 meters, the hit rate is very low.

Moreover, it was introduced in the program that in the "Battle of Jingnan", Zhu Yunqi's Ming army used a swarm of the cavalry of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. Zhu Di, who personally led the charge, was almost hit, but because of a swarm of poor shooting percentages, Zhu Di escaped.

Later, because the cost and the benefit were not proportional, the Ming Dynasty gradually gave up the swarm. On the contrary, the multi-barreled and multi-level firearms such as "Shenhuo Flying Crow" and "Fire Dragon Out of Water", the effect is not bad. But multi-tube firearms also have drawbacks. If the ignition time of the left and right booster launch tubes is different, if only one side ignites first, this thing will come back and hurt yourself.

The problem with swarms of bees is also very big, mainly because the gunpowder of the "shen machine arrows" used by swarms of bees is tied to the side of the arrow body. As a result, the center of gravity is crooked. Moreover, as the gunpowder in the cartridge is burned and consumed, the mass of the cartridge is getting lighter and lighter, and the center of gravity of the Shenji Arrow is constantly changing. This change, if it is vertical, does not affect the direction. However, this change is horizontal. The center of gravity changes horizontally.

Therefore, after Shenji Arrow left the launching box of the swarm, the distance in front of it was 30 to 40 meters, because of inertia, it could still maintain its direction. But after this distance, it is easy to fly randomly because of the lateral change of the center of gravity.

When Ma Lin watched the program in his last life, he saw a swarm of bees in the test. After the magical arrows were launched, at a distance of thirty or forty meters, they carried directly to the ground and jumped on the ground.

The best solution is actually very simple, which is to hollow out the tail of the bow and arrow and load it with gunpowder. In this way, even if the weight of the tail is reduced after the gunpowder is burned, because the center of gravity changes along the longitudinal direction of the arrow body, the flight direction will not be affected.

But Marin dare not do this, why? Because this thing is easy to imitate. How easy it is to hollow out the tail of an arrow, you can see it at a glance. If someone else learns it, they can directly attack the North Sea State army.

Therefore, Ma Lin would rather not make it than other countries would learn how to make such a big killer.

As for the swarms in front of him, to be honest, Marin is not very interested. However, it is not completely uninterested.

Why? People in the Ming Dynasty didn't know how to use it. In fact, a swarm of people would be very useful if they were used well. The test of the TV show I watched in my previous life showed that at a distance of 45 meters, the swarm hit rate can reach 90%. Moreover, the penetrating power is very strong, and the plastic dummy is directly punched through, which shows that it is very powerful.

Therefore, with a swarm of bees, you can learn from the later lobster soldiers, endure, wait until the enemy enters within 45 meters, focus on launching, and directly penetrate the opponent. If it is a face-to-face shot, it is more powerful, and it is estimated that it is not a person who runs through it.

Moreover, the first focus of the North Sea National War Front is defense. There are defensive formations lined up by unicycles, and the enemy's cavalry can't break through the defense line of the North Sea State army for a time. Therefore, the North Sea State Army has the confidence to put the enemy within 45 meters and then focus on launching.

The reason why the Ming army abandoned a swarm of firearms was that the Ming army's use of firearms was very irregular. For example, the firecracker has a very low hit rate from a hundred steps, but after seeing the enemy charging, it is easy to panic and shoot far away. As a result, empty guns were released. It took a long time to load ammunition, and the cavalry on the opposite side had rushed over to kill people.

Therefore, in addition to its own problems, the poor quality of the Ming army was also an important reason.

…

However, just using the original swarm, Marin is not happy. Because the swarm's range is too close. When shooting in opposite directions, it is not even as good as the arrow rain of the opposite archer. For example, shooting against a team of English Longbowmen is a gift.

If the opponent can kite tactics and always keep a certain distance, a swarm will definitely be abused. While the unicycle in front of the North Sea State, although it has a good defense, it also affects its mobility. The opponent retreated and couldn't catch up with a swarm of trying to catch up.

Therefore, the "great inventor" Marin intends to use later high school level physics knowledge to transform a swarm of bees to obtain a longer effective range.

How to increase the range? Naturally, its flight stability is improved. How to make its flight more stable? The first is to adjust the center of gravity, try to make the center of gravity on the arrow, not between the cartridge and the arrow body. However, the structure of Shenji Arrow itself tied to the cartridge is destined to be difficult to adjust the center of gravity perfectly. Therefore, Marin can only say to adjust as much as possible.

For example, Marin can tie a weight equal to the weight of the cartridge on the opposite side of the cartridge. But the problem is that after the gunpowder in the cartridge is burned, it becomes lighter and lighter, while the weight of the counterweight will not decrease. Therefore, the center of gravity will eventually become unbalanced.

But Marin didn't expect complete balance. All he asked for was to make the swarms of magic arrows fly as smoothly as possible for longer distances. After all, if the magic arrow does not fly randomly, the theoretical range can reach three or four hundred meters.

Marin hadn't even thought of letting the Shenji Arrow fly three or four hundred meters smoothly. If the Shenji Arrow could fly more than 100 meters smoothly, he would be satisfied.

And how to make the magic arrow fly more smoothly? Marin's second thought is to "fit the wings" on the Shenji Arrow. That is to say, a plane similar to later generations, with a pair of wings for the magic arrow.

Although the wings cannot guarantee a smooth flight of three to four hundred meters, it is enough to ensure a smooth flight of hundreds of meters.

Moreover, from the perspective of weapons, if the flight is too steady and the trajectory is too straight, the “swarm” will lose its value!

Why do you say that? A swarm is actually a range-strike weapon, with a wide coverage. When attacking the enemy group, the ballistic is too straight. This small barrel of 32 magic arrows will only shoot a soldier on the opposite side into a hornet's nest. 32 arrows kill an enemy, it is not worthwhile. Therefore, the magical arrows in a swarm need a certain offset, rather than all precision strikes.

Therefore, Marlin's method of delaying the deflection time of the magic arrow is very good. If it is cheaper than 100 meters, or if it is cheaper at a distance of 100 meters, it has the most military value.

…

Therefore, Marin changed the cylindrical cartridge of the magic arrow in the swarm to a rectangular cartridge. Then, on the other side of the arrow shaft corresponding to the cartridge, a pair of wooden wings were nailed. Its wings are very simple, just a rectangular plank, the middle part is nailed to the arrow shaft, corresponding to the cartridge.

In addition, considering the launch of the Shenji Arrow, it is somewhat similar to the situation of the space shuttle launch. In other words, the space shuttle itself jets flames, and the rocket body only provides fuel. Therefore, Marin also nailed a rectangular piece of wood on the rectangular parallelepiped cartridge as the "wing."

It's just that the wing wood chips on the opposite side of the cartridge will be bigger and heavier. Because this wood chip has a certain counterweight effect. The wood chips nailed to the cartridge are very light and thin, and mainly serve as the "space shuttle wing" of the cartridge.

Moreover, because the two wood-chip wings are parallel, there are wood-chip supports up and down during loading, which makes it easier to maintain a stable state.

Then there was the tail feathers of the arrow branch. Marin deliberately let it soak in the mud to stain it. After drying, it will harden. However, when launching, it is not easy to be burned by the tail flame ejected from the cartridge.

Many times, the original version of the magic arrow is because the tail flame of the cartridge burns the tail feathers, causing the body of the magic arrow to lose balance and then fly randomly. Marin's method of loading (mud) slurry is also very good.

Although there are two pairs of wings, it is better to keep the tail wing. After all, modern airplanes also retain the tail wing. Marin is not an aircraft expert, but he also knows how to copy operations.

Moreover, Marin also specially set the direction of the tail feathers parallel to the wood chip wings. During installation, it is also installed in parallel. In this way, when the magic arrow is flying, it is difficult to appear cheap in the vertical direction. The so-called vertical, because it is laid flat, naturally refers to the up and down direction.

As for the horizontal cheapness, it is exactly what a swarm of people needs. Because, in order to achieve a range attack, the magic arrow must be scattered. Otherwise, shooting at a target would be a waste of arrows.

In addition, in order to maintain the penetrating power of the magic arrow to achieve a second kill, Marin deliberately saw the wood chip wings to make dents, leaving only a small part still connected.

In this way, when the arrow penetrates the enemy, the wood chip wings will be easily broken due to the sawed dents, so that the arrow can penetrate the target and even hit the next enemy, causing more casualties to the enemy.

…

After the design was completed, Malin asked Ke Laowu to take a few craftsmen from the North Sea country to start refitting in accordance with Malin's ideas. Because of the addition of two pairs of wooden wings, the arrow of the magic machine is much wider. As a result, the number of arrows per barrel is greatly reduced. Even, in order to accommodate the wings, the partitions should not only leave round holes, but need to leave larger and wider square holes to install and fix the improved magic arrow.

But if you do this, the original wooden tube is no longer suitable. To this end, Malin specially created a wider wooden tube, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com and the number of layers of Shenji Arrow has also been reduced to three rows. In this way, there are a total of three rows, each row of 8 arrows widened version of the new swarm appeared.

After testing, this kind of magical arrow really met Marin's expectations. It still did not scurry up and down at a distance of 150 meters, maintaining a strong lethality.

But considering this new type of swarm of magic arrows began to spread out at a horizontal distance at a distance of 120 meters. Therefore, the best hitting distance is actually around 120 meters. Far away, the horizontal interval between the arrow and the arrow is too large to achieve the effect of saturation blow. Getting closer, the arrow of the magic machine has not spread out horizontally, and the blow is too saturated to achieve a range blow.

Therefore, Marin planned that the operator of Shenji Arrow must be a person with good psychological quality and good eyesight at visual distance. Otherwise, the launch will be early and late, neither will achieve the best results...
