Chapter 145: Technological Innovation
Apparently the two were drunk, and the sailors were drunk. They fell to the ground and started to sleep. In order not to let the sailors catch a cold, the farmers could only raise clusters of fires on the side. The winter entanglement, the navigator's dream, and the charm of men. In the house, Yi Shi had already lifted the wooden board and covered the quilt. Albero and Juan leaned against each other, holding an empty wine bottle in one hand.
The room was tidied up by Jing Momo and Yan, with a happy expression on their faces. The museum was not big, but the two were very careful. There were two kinds of people who woke up drunk, one was very sleepy, and the other seemed very early. It was obvious that Yishi belonged to the latter. He moved and looked at the quilt on his body and Admiral Albero in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face. Jing and Ashi and the others separated the interior with the screen of Ichikki So-sun, picked up their clothes and walked out. The fire at the door continued to burn. Because of winter, the farmers got up very late, but they saw the Shiro Damiji.
The sailors on the ground were lying in a row, and Yi Shi held his head slightly, obviously the feeling of hangover was still very uncomfortable. A musket fell from his feet, Yi Shi slowly picked it up and observed it carefully for a long time. The gunshots have shown that this musket has been through many battles. The musket uses an ignition device (spring ignition switch) that impacts flint and steel sheets. The structure is probably that there is a strike iron on the side of the barrel. The strike iron clamps the flint. When pulling the trigger, a V-shaped spring releases the strike iron, and nuclear strikes the curved steel sheet installed on the hinge, and the steel sheet is covered on the fire pit, which generates a spark and shoots the bullet out. There is a protective cover on the fire pit to prevent rainwater from entering and overflowing. The cover is opened by the trigger before shooting, and after loading the ammunition, it is then covered with hands.
Compared with this cast musket, it is much better than this era. Although the proportion of muskets using spears in combat is slowly increasing, and the performance of muskets is gradually improving, most battles are determined through hand-to-hand combat. At that time, the most lethal weapon was not the new popular muskets, but the old-fashioned spears, spears and swords. However, although muskets are still in the initial stage of development, they are indispensable in combat.
Holding the heavy musket, Yi Shi felt a little confused. He could not have been a scientist to study this thing. If he promoted this thing in large quantities, would it be worth it? Although the musket will improve the army's lethality, this is basically insignificant.
A small voice appeared in his ears, "Qingziling, are you interested in this?" Obviously Liu Quei woke up and looked at the musket in Yishi's hand.
Yi looked up and said, "Mr. Liu has any advice?" Liu Que was dressed in rags at this time. It seemed that he had been infected with the temper of Europeans for a long time.
Nodded: "I think you should also have the idea of unifying this place. You should know that everyone is the same. The admiral's dream is the strong man of this ocean. Isn't the sea the dream of European men?" After moving his eyebrows, "Do you think I'm right?"
Yi Shi adjusted her body appropriately and expressed her expression of praise.
"Do you think Fusang's horses are good?" Liu Que continued to see this.
An animal like a donkey appeared in Yishi's mind, "Horse? Obviously this kind of thing like a donkey is really pitiful." Yishi shook his head, "Do I think this is a donkey?" He pointed at the horse house in the distance. Except for A Xi and his own Dayuan horse, everyone else was a dwarf.
Liu Que smiled slightly, and took the musket and took it apart. "There is a story for you to refer to. I heard from the admiral that in Europe, Switzerland, the time of the intersection of old and new weapons, a knight order used halberds and muskets. However, the extremely large musket can ensure that the early breastplate can be defeated at a distance of about 100 meters." He made a big breastplate with his hand. "The records at that time said that this large musket often killed several people or several horses with one shot; but it is obvious that they could only form a fixed position under the cover of spearmen and trenches to fight against the enemy.
The army still cannot replace the crossbow to provide sufficient flexible firepower for the infantry." The breeze was opened and the fire was removed and the powder was pinched. "The musket is different from a longbow and can be used without training. Compared with bows and arrows, the one- or two-ounce projectiles fired by the musket have a larger and more likely to cause damage (including penetration) that is difficult to accurately aim under any circumstances. In addition, the wounds caused by the gun often cause blood poisoning, which are also the advantages of the gun. Since these two weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages, there is no more choice." Pick out some particles with your hands and point them to Yishi.
Yi Shi was surprised by the man's erudition and his eyes widened. "Don't do this." Liu Que was a little embarrassed about Yi Shi's expression. "If you stay too long with the Portuguese, you're just like this. Those people don't have much fun and good at it."
"You are right, what about the longbow?" Obviously Yi Shi was moved by the interest of people in England.
Liu Que lowered his gun and made a stroke gesture: "The wood used in the longbow is not here, and the bow is two meters long. The user requires a considerable height. In England, the requirement to be a longbower is to be more than 1.75 meters tall. Do you think Fusang people can do it? I think you may be able to use it when you are older, but others?"
Speaking of this, Yi Shi blushed, it seemed that her height restricted her development. "It seems that she can only use spears and spears to fight?" Faced with this reality, Yi Shi looked helpless.
"Haha, this may not be necessary. The captain has a musket that was invented recently in Spain."
Obviously Yi Shi has a very big interest in this, "So can you show it to me?"
"Haha, how can I have a chance? The smoothbore gun is the same as those smoothbore cannons. Have you ever seen a smoothbore gun?" You should know that this musket is a cup of tea and a gun, and three muskets only have one cup of tea." Liu Que used a common method to explain.
"Then it's just one and a half shots, it's so fast." Weiwei sighed, "It seems that I have to make more money to create such things." He stretched. The two of them talked a lot about war stories with their backs against the room. Obviously, Liu did seem to be a master.
