Of course, camphor has a certain volatile nature, and castor balls use this principle to deworm. Therefore, in order to prevent the camphor from evaporating on the surface of smokeless powder particles, Marin specially sealed the passivated smokeless powder from air with oil paper bags. In this way, camphor that is isolated from the air will not evaporate.
In fact, historically, the British's double-based launching drugs plagiarized Nobel's creativity, but replaced the passivator from camphor to Vaseline.
In fact, Marin can now obtain Vaseline, because Vaseline is actually just petroleum extracted from oil.
But the problem is that the oil production is too low now, dozens of kilograms a day, and with such a production, even less Vaseline can be extracted.
Therefore, Marin thinks that it is better to use camphor as a stabilizer at present. As for Vaseline, you have to wait until the oil production is higher in the future before you get it done. Of course, you can also send someone to study the extraction of Vaseline. When the Vaseline extraction technology is mature, Marin plans to explode the production of smokeless gunpowder. After all, even the British double-base launching medicine is just a mixture of nitrosoft, nitrified cotton, nitrified glycerin and Vaseline, and the production technology is very simple. If the bottom fire is not too mysterious, and the production method cannot be found online in later generations, Marin may have directly created metal bullets from later generations.
Moreover, Marin understands the structure of AK47, and it is not complicated to make. Even the little blacksmiths in the villages on the border of Pakistan can make it. But no matter how awesome the blacksmiths in the villages are, they don’t know how to make the base fire. Although they can build various guns, they just cannot produce bullets themselves and can only buy them from professional chemical factories.
Therefore, in later generations, China controlled the technology of bottom fire without leaking, and controlled the spread of guns. Even if you hand-created AK or Big Black Star without bullets, there was no difference between it and a fire stick.
Marin felt so miserable. He clearly mastered the 20th century technological level of launching medicine formula, but he didn't know how to do the most core fire. So, what if he made smokeless gunpowder? He still had to use an old-fashioned clockwork to ignite the fire...
Even because the barrel was rolled and forged, Marin did not dare to use the more powerful British double-base launching medicine, but only dared to use the oldest version of French B gunpowder. Moreover, the charge was reduced as appropriate to avoid the unstable barrel from exploding the barrel...
Marin suddenly regretted not going to the Chemical Academy to further study. If he had known the technology of fire-making, he would have started to do the AK47. At that time, as long as he had ammunition sufficient, he would have led a regiment to push Europe. In front of thousands of AK47s, the gathering of troops from all over the world in this era would not be enough for him to "rake"...
Unfortunately, he is just a liberal arts student. Even with the 20th century drug launch formula, he can only play with the extremely slow loading of front-loading guns. The loading speed of front-loading guns is not enough for people to cut off when facing large-scale cavalry charges... Therefore, the current musketeer is still a younger brother and needs the protection of spearmen...
...
However, with the safe smokeless gunpowder, Marin could consider making a more powerful cannon. Influenced by Napoleon and Bismarck, Marin also believed that "the truth is only within the range of the cannon."
In fact, it was not just Marin, but later Chinese troops were also supporters of the idea of ​​"artilleryism". When fighting monkeys in South Vietnam, our army used shells to wash the floor every day, leaving the opponent's jungle fighting skills without room for display.
Although Yuehou has rich experience in jungle guerrilla warfare and even forced the Americans away, their set was useless when facing the Chinese army at home. The Americans had to travel around half of the earth to transport shells, and Huaxia directly used trains to pull shells to the front line, and could not finish washing the ground with shells every day. Then, the Yuehou regular army on the opposite side was stunned, and it was not as threatening as their villagers who were good at sneak attacks.
With the safe and reliable smokeless launching medicine, Ma Da's restless heart in his heart became turbulent...
Ma Dabobu felt that the power of the cannons now is too weak, and they can't even be blown away by stone walls, which is really not practical. So, he decided to create a cannon with great power, not asking for anything else, but only asking for the ability to blow the enemy's walls and break the enemy's warships...
Of course, with the current technological level, it is difficult to get a rifled gun. Because the rifle of the gun is very deep, difficult to carve manually, and it is difficult to produce. Moreover, the life of the rifle gun is much shorter than that of the smoothbore gun. The reason is that the rifle is easily flattened.
Therefore, Ma Dabo decided to use smoothbore cannons, powerful smoothbore cannons. When it comes to smoothbore cannons, the most peak is the Pexon cannons created by the French in the mid-19th century. Its super-large caliber of 68 pounds directly ended the era of wooden ships of warships. Because no wooden ship can withstand the impact of a 68-pound iron ball...
What Marin wanted to do was this Pexan cannon that ended the era of wooden ships and led to the birth of the Iron Shell Battleship. This is the pinnacle of smoothbore guns. Whether it is used to bombard wooden warships or bombard city walls of this era, it is easy and pleasant.
The only problem is probably that the casting of heavy artillery is much more difficult than that of light artillery. Because the pipe wall of heavy artillery is very thick, structural problems are likely to occur during the pouring process. Once there is a problem, the artillery will be scrapped.
Fortunately, Marin knew that the "Rodmann cannon casting method" with inner membrane water cooling can greatly improve the success rate of heavy cannon casting. Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to cast a behemoth like 68-pound cannon.
Moreover, in order to improve the quality of the artillery, Marin did not intend to cast the cannon with ordinary steel, but instead planned to cast the cannon with the best quality chromium-nickel alloy steel, which is the legendary stainless steel.
Since Hydel's younger brother Wiltz discovered small chromite in Cuba, Marin has the conditions to produce stainless steel. Although the stainless steel cast gun is not as effective as tungsten steel, Marin now does not have tungsten, so he can only take out the best chromium-nickel alloy steel to cast Pexan guns.
Once this super powerful cannon is cast, Marin will be invincible at sea. No matter what kind of enemy warships, he will lean on it and sank it with one shot...
Even without the original flowering bullet design, only solid bullets and the 68-pound shells of the Pexan cannon can easily smash the side of the enemy ship to let it leak and sink. Moreover, there were no heavy battleships in this era, and the side of the warships were generally not thickened, making it even more impossible to withstand the 68-pound iron ball shells.
With stainless steel heavy artillery, plus the powerful smokeless launching medicine, Marin felt that once it was done, his navy would sing "Invincible is a Loneliness". Nothing else, it was really invincible...
