Chapter IX The Conception of the Artillery
"I am bowing to the emperor, but I am not aware that the emperor is coming, and I am far away from you. I am a death to you."
"Everyone is up, I wonder why you all quarrel just now. Let me tell you, I will listen too." I looked at them and said with a smile.
At this time, a coach stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I am not arguing, but discussing things, and the language is a little more intense."
"Oh, that's right, I don't know what this coach calls me?"
"Long live, I am the head coach of the artillery battalion, Ling Zhen."
"You are Ling Zhen. I know you. The artillery you are responsible for forging is very good, but I have a lot of research on artillery. Is Ling Aiqing interested in talking about artillery with me?" Although I have some understanding of the complexity of artillery in the 21st century, I can't let them invent artillery shells now in the Song Dynasty. However, we can't get those artillery in the 21st century, but we still know very well about the European artillery in the mid-15th century.
Ling Zhen bowed with his hands and said, "Yes, I obey the order..."
"Okay, you can talk about what happened just now."
After I finished speaking, Ling Zhen stepped forward and pointed at the two young men and said to me, "Master, these two are not military coaches, but two officials in our Ordnance Division who specialize in artillery forging. This is called Lu Yi, and Duan Huang. Lu Yi means that speeding up the rate of fire of the artillery can make our artillery and fast launching projectiles to kill the enemy, which can increase the utilization rate of artillery. Duan Huang means that blindly accelerating the rate of fire of the artillery will make the gunpowder filled in the artillery unreal.
It will cause the projectiles fired to be too close and have too little power, which greatly reduces the role of artillery on the battlefield. I think that the current artillery is more important than soldiers. Whether the soldiers' operations are standardized and proficient. If a group of soldiers who have not used artillery or soldiers who rarely use artillery to control artillery, even if the artillery is advanced, it may be useless." When it comes to artillery Ling Zhen talked seriously and swept away the tension and anxiety when he first saw me.
"Well, okay, you are right. The range and power of the cannon lies in the amount of gunpowder filled in the cannon and whether it is evenly filled. Careful filling will prolong the time between the two azimuths of the cannon, and the proficiency of the soldiers to control the cannons, etc. These situations will indeed affect the use of our army's cannons, but my dear friends, see if my cannons are different." As I said that, I spread a piece of white paper on the table in the center of the military tent and told them, "We can transform the cannons like this."
, Make the cannon body of the cannon to be slightly narrow and the tail is slightly wider, and make the tail of the cannon into a door, and a iron hoop is attached to the door to prevent the explosion of the chamber. Then make multiple sub-guns. Each cannon only needs to be replaced. Each group of artillery is increased to five people, one aims at the cannon, one replaces the sub-gun to fill the projectiles, and three people clean up and wipe clean the sub-gun and fill the gunpowder. Will this solve your problems? Hahaha, the golden finger, the protagonist's halo, knowledge is power, I admire myself too much.
In the extremely surprised and admiring eyes of these people, I told them about the appearance of the cannons, ships and guns. My position in the hearts of these artillery coaches instantly rose to the realm of a god and man.
Then I continued to say to them, "As for artillery projectiles, you don't limit this one. You think, if the Khitan cavalry is about to see, how lethal can you shoot such big fist projectiles? What would happen if this projectile was replaced with iron sand? Hehe?" I squinted my eyes and smiled sinisterly, as if the night falcon was constantly circling in the air at midnight.
After hearing what I said, everyone in this big tent made a chill, and they kept sweating. The eyes clearly showed a meaning in my eyes. This emperor was very cruel.
