The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

There are some difficulties in solving the connection between the clearings, Naofumi thought as he held his chin in his hand.

Because the underground targets are different when viewed from the sky, and the gunpowder weapons currently used are almost overwhelming. When the combat time of both sides reaches a certain level, the gunpowder smoke emitted can cover oneself and the opponent's army.

.Especially for artillery, large-scale concentrated and rapid firing. This smoke gives artillerymen a headache.

Naofumi has no good way to solve this problem for the time being.

Because when the Air Force and the ground cooperated in operations, radio had already appeared. The Air Force specially sent ground guides to assist the Army in operations. This is obviously not possible now. Electricity only exists in laboratories.

"This is a bit troublesome, but I think you can distribute a large number of flags to the ground, or something else. Because I have no choice." Naofumi said.

"Well, then I'll go to the Heavenly Army to see what new tricks they have." Wang Jian said.

"I think you should go and take a look. Also take a look at the subjects they train on, so that you can arrange exercises." Naofumi said.

"Well, thank you Mr. Qin for your advice." Wang Jian said.

"It doesn't count as giving advice, it can only count as thinking of something." Naofumi replied.

"By the way, have you made an exercise plan now?" Naofumi asked.

"Plan?" Wang Jian asked.

"Yes, it's the plan, for example, when will each branch of the army arrive at what position, the participating troops, how to conduct the exercise, who will play the blue army and who will play the red army, how to referee during the exercise, etc." Naofumi said.

"That's right, I came back from the Heavenly Army to ask about this issue." Wang Jian said.

"Then I'll go see the laboratory and see if we can sort out the space connection. Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble." Naofumi said.

With that said, Shangwen and Wang Jian said goodbye to each other. Shangwen was going to the laboratory to try to tinker with something useful. But thinking about what can be done now, the lack of materials has reached an alarming level, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

A whole body of knowledge is useless without materials.

Naofumi got a headache when he thought of this. Flares and smoke bombs cannot be made, but fireworks can be made. Originally, this was something for festival celebrations, but now it can only be borrowed temporarily. However, it requires a lot of paper, and now I am in a hurry to use it.

I can't control that much. If possible, we can start looking for other materials later.

As soon as Naofumi arrived at the laboratory, he found a person waiting there quietly. A stranger. Naofumi didn't recognize him. But judging from his attire, he was from the Army.

"Who are you?" Naofumi asked.

"Sir, I am from the Engineering College of the Army Military Academy, and my subordinate is Cao Xin. I have something that I need you to check," Cao Xin said.

"What? Sit down." Naofumi pointed to the spring sofa in the laboratory and said.

"Don't dare. This thing was obtained by my subordinates using nitric acid, sulfuric acid and mercury." Cao Xin said.

"Mercurial." Naofumi said in surprise.

"What? What did your Excellency say?" Cao Xin asked.

"The reaction between two acids and mercury results in mercury fulminate. This thing is extremely sensitive and can explode. Where is it?" Naofumi asked.

"Don't be afraid, adults. I have discovered that this thing will not explode easily if it is placed in grease." Cao Xin said.

"Hehe." Naofumi smiled.

"My lord, do you suspect that your subordinate is joking?" Cao Xin asked, somewhat at a loss.

"No, no no." Naofumi waved his hand.

"I am happy that mercury fulminate can be passivated by adding oil, fat or paraffin, which means it can reduce its sensitivity. Moreover, if the mercury fulminate is well passivated, it can change the current situation of muskets on a large scale.

"Shangwen said, holding Cao Xin's shoulders with his hands and pressing him down on the sofa. The elasticity of the sofa scared Cao Xin so much that he didn't dare to sit down.

"It's okay, it's okay. This is the sofa. It's more comfortable to sit on." Shangwen said. Cao Xin sat down boldly.

"Do you need anything to drink?" Naofumi asked.

"No, no, I'm not thirsty." Cao Xin said cautiously. Shangwen had no choice but to pour a glass of water and handed it to Cao Xin. Cao Xin thanked him, and Shangwen waved his hand to express his welcome.

"Today's muskets are all flintlock muskets, which are troublesome to load, especially when loading propellant. If flints and other materials are not replaced in time, the muskets will not fire. This is very bad." Naofumi sat down.

said.

"Now that we have mercury fulminate, this problem can be solved very well. After a certain passivation process, this thing is made into a flash cap, and our musket can be changed to a percussion type. In this way, the firing speed is faster and the loading is easier.

It's very simple." Naofumi said.

"Really, sir." Cao Xin said excitedly.

"Really, and if this thing is made into a detonator, it can be used as an detonating device. It has a very wide range of uses." Naofumi said.

"That, that's great." Cao Xin said.

"You can consider this an invention. Go back to Mr. Meng Yimeng and fill out the form. Apply for a patent. Also, if you want to do research, try to avoid crowded places and pay special attention to safety. This thing is not child's play.

It will explode if it makes the slightest movement, and the temper is very uncomfortable. Just like the time your engineer trainees did it last time." Naofumi said.

"No way. We must pay attention." Cao Xin said.

"They developed it too fast. They actually developed nitroglycerin, which has an explosive power ten times greater than black powder." Naofumi said.

"Last time, our engineer brothers caused trouble for you," Cao Xin said with some guilt.

"It's nothing, you should be encouraged and respected. Explosives are not different from other things. They are too dangerous. They can explode at any time, and their power is amazing. You should pay attention." Naofumi said.

"By the way. There are still some things that you can take back and take a look at. Keep it confidential. This is confidential information." Naofumi said and took out the manuscript.

"This is the information on all the explosives I wrote. After everyone has read it, collect it and give it to me. Keep it in your mind. Don't share it. You can collect the experimental materials yourself. Some

You should also record the data so that you can look it up later." As he spoke, Shangwen took out some notebooks and pencils and handed them to Cao Xin.

"These things you make must be kept strictly confidential. Remember to keep it confidential." Naofumi repeatedly asked.

"Yes, sir. I understand." Cao Xin said seriously.

"Well, after these explosive things are made, they should be properly stored. Forget it. Leave these things to me for storage," Naofumi said.

"Okay. Go find Mr. Meng to fill out the form." Naofumi said and waved.
