The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"But these are not problems." Naofumi made a U-turn.

"On the one hand, these problems will be solved, mainly technically. Just like this musket, which is a type of flintlock gun, it needs to be installed with propellant, flint, and metal sheets to fire the musket. But there is another way in the future.

Basically, the above requirements are compressed into a bullet shell." Shan En said with interest. But King Qin listened in a daze, because there were many words that King Qin had never heard of, let alone understood.

Shangwen looked at King Qin with a puzzled expression, but he didn't want to disturb himself. Shangwen had no choice but to change the topic.

"The other way is to make up for it through queues and tactical arrangements." After Shangwen finished speaking, he secretly glanced at King Qin. King Qin's face finally relaxed. It seems that King Qin can still understand the tactical arrangements.

of.

"Soldiers can line up in three rows and fire in turns. This can make up for the trouble of loading the muskets. Moreover, subsequent soldiers can fire calmly, forming a powerful fire network to prevent the enemy from advancing." Naofumi said.

King Qin nodded and expressed his approval.

"This is the same as the shooting of our crossbowmen in Great Qin." King Qin thought about it and said.

"That's it." Naofumi said.

"In addition, what is more powerful than this kind of smoothbore gun is the rifled gun. The barrel of this kind of musket has spiral rifling. In this way, the projectile is driven by the pressure and flies out at high speed. In this way, the projectile can fly

It can reach farther. In comparison, this kind of rifled gun can shoot almost 150 steps." Naofumi said as he produced a shooting drawing of a rifled gun.

"Oh. It's so far away. Isn't it almost the same distance as a crossbow?" King Qin said.

"Yes, it's basically the same, and it can shoot continuously without stopping because the soldier's physical strength decreases. The accuracy is also very high, and the most important thing is that it is powerful." Naofumi introduced.

"Well, that's very good." King Qin praised.

"Then I will be equipped with this kind of musket. I don't need that kind of musket." King Qin said critically.

"Your Majesty, if you want to equip this kind of musket, you need to prepare a large number of this kind of bullets." Naofumi said and pulled out a design drawing of Minier bullets.

"That's it." King Qin said.

"Yes." Naofumi said.

"Then I just need to prepare." King Qin said.

"Your Majesty, it is more troublesome to make bullets for this kind of musket. If there is only a musket, it will be very troublesome for soldiers to load ammunition because of internal rifling problems. The use of this kind of bullets is because the tail is coated with grease or wax.

.It’s easy to load. Mainly because of the price...” Naofumi said in a low voice.

"Money is not a problem for a few people." King Qin said matter-of-factly.

"Your Majesty does not know that the funds consumed by arms are very large. The funds given by the King have already been used up," Naofumi said.

"Oh!" King Qin was a little surprised.

"Zhao Gao, is this possible?" King Qin asked.

"Back to the king, the money has been used by the king a long time ago. As soon as Meng Tian's army started, the arms have not been cut off, especially rockets and grenades, which are basically in short supply now. Mainly, mainly...

"..." Zhao Gao said hesitantly.

"Say." King Qin said with some boredom.

"The main reason is that there is no funds. Many raw materials cannot be purchased in time." Zhao Gao finished in one breath.

"Yes." King Qin agreed and thought about how to solve this problem.

Upon seeing this, Naofumi took this opportunity to propose the idea of ​​arms trade.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan." Shangwen stepped forward and said.

"Oh, sir, what's your clever idea? Tell me quickly." King Qin stopped thinking and asked hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, during the day I saw that Zhao General Li Mu was very envious of our Great Qin's firearms. How about we sell them to the six eastern countries at a high price and extract money from them. This can solve our Great Qin's firearms production problem." Shang Wen said.

"No, no. In this way, a few people will rule the world in the future. Aren't we, Da Qin, facing the firearms we made? It's not like you, Mr. Qin, don't know the power of these firearms. No, no. This won't work.

Mr. Qin." King Qin immediately waved his hand resolutely and said.

There were still some words that Shang Wen had not yet said, but King Qin had already denied them.

"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet," Shangwen said.

"No, Mr. Qin. Once this is revealed, the disaster will be endless. It will be harmful to our country, Qin." King Qin shook his head and said.

Obviously, the King of Qin was determined not to agree to this matter. Some of the words Shang Wen had prepared were rejected by the King of Qin before he even opened his mouth. Even if he had great ideas, he could not express them.

"Sir, do you have any other weapons?" King Qin also realized that he was a little reckless. He rejected Mr. Qin's suggestion without any regard for his feelings. Obviously, he couldn't save his face, so he quickly changed the subject.

Seeing that King Qin didn't want to talk about it, Shangwen had no choice but to give it up. Let's talk about this matter later.

"Your Majesty, there is still this cannon." Naofumi said with some disinterest.

Originally, Naofumi was not interested in talking anymore. But he thought that if this continues, all weapons will probably come to a standstill. So, he might as well summon up the courage to talk about it.

"This is a smoothbore cannon. The principle is the same as that of a smoothbore cannon. However, all materials for casting the barrel must be copper. Iron tube cannons can be used, but the number of uses needs to be strictly limited." Naofumi pointed to the smoothbore cannon.

The drawing says.

"Oh, why is this?" King Qin asked.

"This is because the iron tube gun contains a large amount of hydrogen gas during the firing process..." Naofumi said about the hydrogen gas and then realized that he had let it slip.

"Ah, there is a very troublesome gas. After repeated firing, the cannon may explode, so it cannot be used multiple times. Copper cannons do not have such characteristics." Naofumi immediately changed his words and explained. In fact, this

It's just a processing problem. If you want to completely solve these problems, you can't solve them until you get to the point of converter steelmaking.

"And this is a rifled cannon. The shells fired by this kind of artillery are straight, have a long distance, and are more powerful than smoothbore cannons. Especially after equipped with this kind of shells, the distance is more accurate." Naofumi said and pulled out a rifled cannon.

Special-purpose artillery shells. The shape of this artillery shell is close to that of modern artillery shells.

"Well, if this kind of weapon is used to attack a city, wouldn't it be more powerful than that trebuchet?" King Qin said.

"Yes, it's very powerful, and it's equipped with wheels. When moving, it's dragged by horses. When you arrive at the designated location, you can just unload it and use it. It's very light and can move quickly with the army." Naofumi gave a brief introduction.

Advantages of artillery.

"Yes," King Qin nodded, expressing great approval.
