It lasted a year.

The picric acid raw materials Lu Ming had previously ordered the chemical factory to prepare had long been completed. He triggered the technology tree at that time and synthesized picric acid.。

Followed.

New technologies unlocked.

The mercury fulminate that Lu Ming had been longing for has finally arrived!

【Explosives·Nitroglycerine·Unlocked】

【Gunpowder·Nitrocellulose·Unlocking]

The so-called mercury fulminate is often referred to as a primer, a detonating explosive that does not require ignition and can be easily detonated by friction, impact, sparks or electric sparks.

The emergence of mercury fulminate completely brought firearms into the era of breech-loading guns.

After the trigger of a breech-loading gun is pulled, the firing pin in the firearm detonates the primer through impact, and then the primer ignites the propellant to eject the bullet.

Got the primer.

Only then can metal bullets really begin to show their power and exert their power on the battlefield.

After unlocking the mercury fulminate, Lu Ming also handed over the production technology to the chemical factory and asked them to start mass production according to the technology.

He took some raw materials and synthesized mercury fulminate���

Then the two extremely important technologies of nitroglycerine and nitrocellulose were unlocked.

Nitroglycerine is an extremely sensitive explosive that will detonate with a slight shock. It is 30 times more powerful than black powder and is very powerful.

but.

As long as nitroglycerine is mixed with silica, it can be stabilized and can be used safely and conveniently in warfare.

Picric acid is very effective when used as artillery shells to hit distant places, but once it is used in siege or close range, the poisonous smoke produced may actually hurt you.

A nitroglycerin bomb would be safer.

The birth of black gunpowder brought war into the era of hot weapons, but after burning, this stuff not only produces thick white smoke, but also leaves residues.

Flintlock muskets and artillery need to be cleaned after each shot to remove the black powder residue inside, which is quite troublesome to use.

The emergence of nitrocellulose solved this problem. It also has another name, that is, the famous smokeless gunpowder, a propellant that produces almost no smoke and residue after burning.

and.

Three times more powerful than black powder!

Cotton and nitric acid can be made into nitrocellulose. The nitrocellulose is gelatinized and then further processed. It is a perfect substitute for black powder.

More powerful.

Using it as a propellant means that the bullet will have stronger destructive power, more stable trajectory, and a longer range.

Since it does not produce residue after burning, there is no need to clean the gun chamber again and again, which makes the Maxim machine gun ready to enter the battlefield!

steel.

Mercury fulminate.

Colloidal nitrocellulose。

【Metal Fixed Ammunition·Accelerated Manufacturing】

Invisible power emerges.

Under the accelerated manufacturing of the technology tree, the three materials were made into steel bullets in the blink of an eye, with metal warheads and casings, loaded with primers and smokeless gunpowder.。

is built on the branch technology of breech-loading guns, combined with the technology of metal fixed-loading ammunition, and newly unlocks modern firearms technology, a series of automatic firearms!

Not only that.

Cannon branch technologies are also unlocked together.。

……

This.

It was more than half a year ago.

From

(Read more novels by visiting our website: Knights Novel) metal bullets to automated firearms and modern artillery with ultra-long-range saturation coverage strike capabilities, Xin’an City’s ordnance technology is outrageous.

Once installed, the firepower is not ordinary.

However.

Due to Xin’an City’s economic and resource problems, the Armed Guards and Artillery Corps cannot yet equip the entire army with these modern weapons, otherwise it will be a huge burden.

Therefore.

More than half a year has passed, and the Armed Guards and Artillery Corps are still equipped with old-fashioned flintlock muskets and old-fashioned light and heavy artillery. However, training for modern weapons has quietly begun.

A batch of officers who graduated from military academies have entered the army, and the combat concepts and training shooting of modern weapons have been promoted in an orderly manner in the army.

in addition.

He Songsheng and the Guardsmen both attended military academies and have completed advanced education. Their horizons are not limited by their past backgrounds.

As long as Lu Ming gives the order.

They can lead the army to fight a modern war at any time.

this day。

“Leader, the airship is ready。”

“good. ”

Lu Ming was wearing the same white shirt and black stand-collar jacket as always, with a solemn temperament and a tall and straight posture. He stepped across the threshold and headed to the

apron where the airship was docked.

He Songsheng and a group of guards immediately followed, with thick The military combat boots made a dull sound when they stepped on the ground, and the momentum was particularly fierce.

Xin’an City’s chemical industry is very developed, and there is no problem in producing hydrogen and nitrogen. The materials for the airbag are jointly produced by several colleges. The

diesel engine in the pod will drive The huge propeller outside propels the airship, and the diesel comes entirely from Xinan City.

Although the oil field mining work has not yet started, it does not prevent Lu Ming from purchasing some oil from various merchants to refine diesel and gasoline for use.

Xing Shang does not know what It’s called oil, but they will understand as long as it’s Shizhishui. Oil emerges naturally in many places. Of course they are happy to recycle it if Xin’an City pays a high price. On this trip, Lu Ming chose a place suitable for mining

. The oil field, after exploration, has been determined to be a large oil field with rich reserves.

The most important thing is that it

is close enough to Xin’an City!

Those businessmen come from all over the world. The oil fields discovered are too far away and the investment to exploit them is too high. Not only The transportation cost is high and does not meet the strategic needs of Xin’an City.

On the airport,

two rows of guards lined up outside the airship’s hatch. Each one is equipped with the latest metal bullet automatic rifle. Among the entire army, currently Only Lu Ming’s Guards has fully equipped with automated weapons. Their

combat effectiveness is the most powerful.

Thanks to a lot of training, each of them has extremely accurate marksmanship, and there are many snipers among them, the most powerful It can even accurately hit targets two kilometers away.

They are all the best among the best.

Lu Ming comes over。

“salute! ”

The two rows of guards uniformly placed their right fists on the heart on the left side of their chests. Lu Ming walked through the queue, and only the dull sound of footsteps could be heard. It was not until he boarded the airship that the guards entered. On both

sides

, The propeller turned faster and faster, pushing the airship to slowly rise into the sky and fly towards the outside of Xin’an City. The residents in the city looked up. They couldn’t help but exclaim

.。

“The leader’s airship! ”

The Dachengren and Beishuo people who met for the first time were all dumbfounded.
