The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

The Chu State successfully adapted the first Chu State Water Pirates. In order to win over the water pirates without affecting the cooperation between the two parties and eliminating each other's wariness, the Chu State Navy adopted the U l designation for the adaptation. In this way, both parties achieved their own goals. Purpose The strength of Chu's navy has grown to some extent, which will provide strong help in containing Qin's surface ship power in the future.

Just when the surface power in the south was quietly changing, the situation in the north became unfavorable again.

"Get ready to fire two and a half miles ahead of the target," a Qi State artillery commander loudly ordered. Qin system and Qi system are two different length units. Qi State's system is smaller, which is equivalent to Qin State's two miles, but it is just behind Yan State. When the State Artillery taught the artillery of the State of Qi, they adopted the system of the State of Qin. However, the people of the State of Qi seemed to be very stubborn. They actually insisted on converting it into Qi State's own length units and then started learning. In this way, the artillery of the State of Qi was calculated according to their own ruler.

The "Kangdang" gun is inserted into the barrel and the artillery gun is installed.

"Fire!" the artillery commander shouted loudly and gave an order.

"Ignition" artillery igniters quickly ignited Qi's artillery using captured artillery from Yan's artillery from Yan's artillery from Qin's artillery from Qin's artillery underwent some modifications before export, that is, the original detonator ignition method was also used. It is a pressure-pull type. A detonator is installed behind the barrel, and then a spring mechanical device is used to pull the gravity device to hit the detonator. The internal technology exports of the Qin State are restricted, and the people of the Yan State say that the money used is a problem. The people of the Yan State cannot afford the money, and the cost of using detonators to fire weapons is very expensive. The price of a detonator is equivalent to the price of five rounds, which is really too much for them. It was too expensive, so the Yan people did not purchase them. Of course, the Qin people were not willing to make a loss-making deal, so they refitted all these artillery pieces into traditional ignition types and sold them to the Yan people.

After the Yan people experienced a huge failure, these artillery came into the hands of the Qi people. The Qi people didn't know that there was such an ignition method, so they still used the traditional ignition method.

The Qin people themselves said that this traditional ignition method has disadvantages, but they can't say what the disadvantages are. It seems that it is slower in terms of time, and there is not much difference in detail. However, when the Qi people use it themselves, they don't think there is any disadvantage and prefer to use this kind of artillery.

However, the Qin army looked down upon this kind of artillery with backward firing methods. They believed that this kind of artillery was bulky and had a terribly slow firing speed. What was worse was that this kind of artillery was the most dangerous in the rapid firing mode, especially if the artillerymen were not careful. It is dangerous to cause the barrel to explode. When this artillery was used before, the lives of Qin's artillerymen could not be guaranteed. Later, the situation was greatly improved after the use of fixed metal barrel breech-loading artillery [

"Boom, boom, boom!" The Qi army gathered all the artillery they could collect. There were only twenty-six artillery pieces in total. But these artillery pieces were enough to deal with Qin's airport of only more than 300 people.

"Whoosh" came the roar of a cannon

"Boom!" There was a huge explosion, and the cannon accurately landed on the Qin army's position. The cannon did not hit any target at first, but it shocked the Qin army soldiers.

"Artillery attack, artillery attack," the Qin soldiers shouted nervously.

"Swish" cannons kept roaring.

"Boom" artillery continued to explode on the Qin army's position

The dirt from the "Bah, Bah" cannon entered the mouth of a second lieutenant of the Qin Army.

"Where did the damn Qi people get their artillery?" the second lieutenant cursed loudly in dissatisfaction.

"Swish" the Qi people's artillery fired continuously, trying to rely on this uninterrupted artillery to suppress Qin's machine guns

"Let me see." The captain who attacked the Qi army heard the sound of artillery and quickly ran to the outpost observation post for observation. Through a hidden observation port, the captain saw his target in the telescope.

The gunpowder smoke emitted by each Qi artillery in the lens covered the Qi army's artillery position. The captain could only see part of the firing of the artillery through the blowing of the wind.

This old-fashioned bronze artillery still uses black gunpowder. If the Qin State's granular gunpowder is used, the Qin State has done in-depth research on granular gunpowder. The Qin State added some animal and plant gums to the gunpowder to make the particles of the gunpowder larger. First of all, the reaction speed of gunpowder is greatly accelerated, and the power is much greater than that after drying with water. The most important thing is that it can be stored for a longer time. The difference is that the gunpowder used by the people of Qi was imported from Chu and went through extensive The shrinking gunpowder exported by Qin State was originally less powerful than the industrial gunpowder produced by Qin State itself. Not only that, these gunpowders used powder gunpowder, not granular gunpowder.

However, the Yan State Artillery pointed out the necessity of using this kind of gunpowder because only by using granular gunpowder in conjunction with the conical gun and the rifling in the barrel can the gun have a greater range. In this way, Qi State knew about granular gunpowder in disguise. But the problem is After they knew it, they couldn't make granular gunpowder at all, but they were able to get some natural granular gunpowder. These granular gunpowder came from the ho-stained gunpowder in the south of Chu State. The ho-humidified gunpowder was easily damaged during storage and transportation. These ho-stained gunpowders were transported. During the Qi State, the people of Qi State needed to dry it naturally. This process happened to be the initial stage of Qin State's manufacturing of granular gunpowder, so the artillerymen of Qi State were more willing to use this kind of gunpowder that was affected by ho, because they could accidentally get some granular gunpowder. The use of granular gunpowder can greatly increase the range of the cannon, no less than high explosives

But the people of Qi still cannot get high-quality granular gunpowder because they have not yet gained enough understanding of this problem. At the same time, they still lack one thing, which is the process of graphite lighting. This process is crucial to maintaining the power of granular gunpowder, but the people of Qi have not yet understood it. As for the role of graphite, people in the Qin State have begun to use graphite on a large scale in various industries and in daily life. The most common one is that the battery in the flashlight used in the Qin State uses carbon rods made of graphite material.

"Hmph," the captain looked disdainfully at the artillery position where the Qi people fired artillery and said with a smile [

"Can this old-fashioned artillery still fire accurately?" the captain asked to himself.

"Whew!" A cannon flew directly over and interrupted a flag set up by the Qin army. The flag fluttered on the position. In fact, this kind of artillery can still carry out jng-armored fire within a range of two miles. Especially when the Qin State once A practical artillery made of steel was exported. The accuracy of this artillery was no less than that of cannons with metal mountings, because that kind of steel artillery was the ancestor of later artillery, and the Qin people exported just this kind of artillery.

Because the people of Qin believed that this kind of grandpa-level artillery was no longer useful, especially the Qin Army had been equipped with a large number of such artillery, but soon new artillery was manufactured, which far exceeded that kind of artillery in terms of speed, speed and ease of use. Steel artillery, so the Qin State quickly eliminated these steel artillery pieces and sold them to the people of Yan.

"How can the damn Qi people's artillery be so accurate?" The captain cursed angrily at this time.

He had no idea that Qin's domestic arms dealers, especially the army, were involved. They had piled a large number of such artillery pieces in their warehouses. In order to prevent these iron guys from rusting and to be able to replace them with new artillery pieces as soon as possible, the military put these The artillery was resold to the people of Yan, and then the people of Yan gave it to the people of Qi. In this way, the artillery produced by the people of Qin could finally be used on their own people.

"We don't know either, but the model looks like it's an artillery piece produced by ourselves," a gunnery sergeant said through a telescope.

"That's right, the damn Yan people gave the artillery to these damn Qi people," the captain cursed loudly.

However, the people of Qin should feel lucky because the people of Yan did not buy many of these artillery pieces because the price was too expensive, so these artillery flowed into the houses of the nobles or in the hands of the Chu army in the south. Only a small number entered the Yan army and the Qi army only a small amount. After obtaining some of these artillery pieces, the Qi army also obtained a large number of bronze artillery pieces. The accuracy of these bronze artillery pieces was relatively accurate at a distance of five hundred steps, but after passing a critical point, the artillery began to become inaccurate. In addition, the maintenance and rifling of the artillery pieces The lifespan of these artillery has been reduced a lot because the artillery of the Yan State rarely takes the initiative to maintain their artillery, and because of the battlefield, their artillery uses a lot of time. This gives the Qin people another advantage in the use of these artillery. Life expectancy has been greatly reduced because of the people of Yan State

"These artillery pieces look very old, but the current situation is that we are still within the effective range of these artillery pieces, especially when these artillery pieces can fire at a fifteen-degree angle for four miles, our machine guns are basically useless at this distance. We are in a very passive situation in order to effectively contact the enemy. We can only be passively beaten, but we have no way to do anything about it." A Qin official wrote in a telegram in reply to the Xianyang General Staff of the Qin State.

The addition of artillery made the staff of the Qin State Staff Department feel the seriousness of the matter xng
