The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"How to use this." The princess picked up a grenade.

"The princess just needs to open the back cover, pull out the rope, and throw it out. This is more dangerous. Let me show you to the princess." Sima Chang cupped his hands and said.Then waved.A soldier came running.Sima Chang signaled.Soldiers understand.Pick up the grenade.A pull.Throw it into the big hole dug in advance.

"Boom" sounded.The princess was a little surprised.The attendant who was talking and laughing beside him was also stunned.Shangwen was very happy when he saw this picture.I just like watching the princess look deflated.

"So powerful." The princess was the first to recover.Look eager to try.Picked up a grenade and wanted to try it out.Sima Chang immediately stopped him: "Princess, you can't. This grenade is powerful. What if you hurt the princess? I can't afford it!"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll give it a try." The princess vowed.

Open the back cover.Pull out the rope.Sima Chang backed away in fright.The princess threw it away.

"Boom" an explosion.The princess clapped her hands, very excited.Turning his head to several attendants, he said, "Try it together. It's fun."

"Here" the attendant started walking towards the case, picking up the grenade.Sima Chang felt a bit pained.Making grenades is not easy.

Shang Wen looked at Sima Chang and felt that having such a princess was indeed enough.

Then came the dynamite pack.

Since there are only two packs, demonstrate one pack.The princess even lit a pack by herself.Looking at the explosive package that is more powerful than a grenade.The princess is much happier.

"Unfortunately, there are no more. Sima Chang, I want two hundred grenades. I want one hundred packs of explosives." Sima Chang was shocked when he heard that.Quickly kneel down.Said: "Princess, please forgive me. The output of grenades has not been high. The king ordered several times to urge them out. In this way, the output of grenades is still not high. In the past few days, thanks to Mr. Qin's help, we have separated a lot. The production process has improved. But the number of princesses is really too big. Princess, you should find Mr. Qin, or the king. I really have no choice." Sima Chang said with a touch of heaven .Shangwen felt that it was time to slip away.No matter how nice you say it.It is not fun for the princess to find herself.

"Mr. Qin".The princess said in a soft tone.

"Princess, I am still in a hurry to die. These are the orders of the king...".Shangwen wanted to escape.The words are not finished yet.The princess had already shouted, "Why run, I will eat you?"

"I need some handy weapons. I think this grenade is quite powerful, but, as you know, all of my subordinates are women. I also heard that your father often said that you are very capable. Why don't you give it to me?" The subordinates have designed some light weapons. I will come to pick them up when I turn back. What do you think? I think that’s it. Go back to the palace.

Shangwen has not opened his mouth yet.There is a big hat to buckle down.

"Oh my God." Shang Wen sighed.

Meng Tian shook his head and left.

Shangwen looked at the faraway princess.I thought about it.Isn't it a weapon?There are so many, just because I'm afraid you won't be able to play well.Think about designing that kind of weapon.

hey-hey.Shang Wenyin smiled.Rockets, shoulder-fired rockets, and stationary rockets.Material? Just use wood.The fuel is gunpowder.

Sima Chang came over at this time.Embarrassed face.Shangwen knew that Sima Chang was worried about gunpowder.He said: "Don't worry, old man. I have a solution. I will report the solution to the king. I will definitely agree. Don't worry." After finishing speaking, Shang Wen turned around and got on the carriage.

22 Development of rockets

Shangwen returned to his residence and first submitted a memorial.He ordered Meng Tian's men to send them to the King of Qin and began to study the rockets.

Shangwen felt that it was difficult to study rockets.First of all, the material is more difficult to solve.Although wood has been considered as the material of choice.But nozzles and nozzles cannot be made of wood.In the case of the use of gunpowder as propellant.High-temperature burning can easily decompose the rocket body, causing it to deviate when it finally flies to the target.This is something I don't want to see.

Looks like iron will have to be used.Only the malleability of iron meets current needs.But iron must be made thin and light.This is the only requirement.

Think here.Naofumi began to draw the nozzles and nozzles.In order to save the difficulty of processing.Shang Wen directly put the two together.Also plan the size.

Larger rockets use a diameter of one chi, and smaller ones have a diameter of one-third of a chi.The nozzle is designed in a funnel shape.The mouths designed at the bottom of the funnel shape are one-third chi and one-chi chi respectively.The analogy of a third of a foot.That'll be fine.Dimensions are indicated.Then write notes.Call the servants to go to the blacksmith to make it.When leaving, warn again and again.It must be thin and light.

Design the spout.Next is the body.Considering the overall situation of the projectile body, Shangwen also designed a lot of specifications, which are basically designed into two categories.Big rockets, and small rockets.The big one can set up a hair rack to fire.The small ones can be carried on the shoulders.

Large rockets are designed to be longer.But the specific size depends on the balance of the overall assembly.There is also the ballistic after launch.There is also the trajectory of movement.These are raw data that must be measured.Think about testing.Shangwen felt that his head was too big, and he didn't have any measuring instruments.Even time, there is only an hourglass.This thing sucks.

In order to obtain first-hand data.Shangwen only needs to design more missiles.Three feet, four feet, and five feet.And a foot.In order to facilitate future production, Shangwen uses the technology of selling short in half a year and finally using card locks to synthesize.This technique is not too difficult in the hands of Chinese carpenters.Deliberately leave some blind spots, which are the positions where the explosives and warheads are packaged.Since all are missing.Shangwen had to figure it out on his own.

Similarly, after designing the drawings, hand them over to the servants to handle.Meng Tian came in to deliver breakfast, it seemed that he had been busy all night.Tired enough, but the problem has not been resolved.Shangwen ate a piece of dry biscuit in one hand, and looked at the blueprint in the other.Do you want to change it?Meng Tian went into the room to have a look, and left without saying anything.Because I am used to it.Shangwen is so busy every day.

warhead.To detonate the warhead, the weight of the warhead must be considered. At this time, everything must be combined together.There is also the way of detonation.In what way?Shang Wen sat on the bed, and kept tapping the table with one hand to get inspiration.

Suddenly, he slapped the table heavily with his hands and threw the cannon.This kind of thing was studied when it was still young, but it needed materials.Shangwen immediately issued a list.The most important of these are silver salts.This stuff can be extracted from table salt.Extracted from saline soil.After ordering the servants.Naofumi began to think about another way to detonate.Shang Wen felt that dropping the cannon was unreliable, so another very simple way to detonate is to draw a fuse from the propellant.This length is more difficult to grasp.If it is too short, it will blow up before reaching the distance, if it is too long, it will not make a sound when it hits the ground.This can be tested many times.

Another is to use their own invention of the grenade device.This is mainly because the airtightness must be improved.Shangwen discovered that the first few batches of grenades had dud problems due to sealing problems.This is no joke.I already have paper, just add wax or grease to develop wax paper, and the problem can basically be solved.The next step is to prepare the materials.

Shangwen listed a lot of things on a piece of paper, and began to take medicine according to the order.The people who bought the materials to build the body parts are back.Only then did Shangwen realize that he had been busy all morning.

After lunch, Naofumi started to assemble the projectile.Process the oiled paper, because the candle is still rare?

Take a nap, and when you wake up, it's already night.The servants dug up a stone of sand from the saline-alkali soil.Shang Wen to solve the problem of silver salt.boiled.filter.at a boil.Filter and crystallize.The salt can be extracted, but Shangwen unexpectedly discovered that there is a very small amount of sodium carbonate.Then bring to a boil.Filtration, crystallization, still nothing.Naofumi began to consider other detonation methods.

Abandon the extraction of silver salts and start assembling the projectile.Fill with gunpowder.With oiled paper.Shangwen easily separated the warhead from the firing potion.and.In order to prevent co.Specially wrapped in parchment paper.Simply attach the fuse.A rocket basically takes shape.This is where there is a fuse between the propulsion unit and the warhead.Percussion will be redesigned.

Naofumi used lighters for reference in designing the firing line of the grenade.Later, in the design, gradually perfected, there was a grenade.It was just a prototype at first.Consider the impact effect of rockets.Shang Wen decided to give it a try.This time, in order to prevent the rocket from hitting the ground, Shangwen could not detonate.The detonation method of double insurance is adopted.That is to install double iron rings on the flint rod.Then adopt the parallel mode, two action rods detonate the warhead together.Naomi's separate separate design.It became the prototype of the modern fuze.

After finishing all this, it was already night.Shangwen breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that he was really tired.Such a desperate job.It is not advisable.I just don't know whether the Great Qin State will give subsidies.

See that all that is left is assembly work.Shangwen simply tidied up.He ordered Meng Tian's subordinates to keep a close watch on him.Just go to the bedroom and fall asleep.It's really tiring.

In my sleep, my head was still sorting out the results of the day.And those unexpected discoveries.What happened when the test was done.data that should be recorded.These keep flashing.

Shangwen felt that someone was pushing him.Waking up in a daze.Meng Tian found it.Meng Tian looked shocked.Wait until you recover.Only then did I hear clearly: "Sir, you finally woke up. We thought you were possessed by a demon. You kept muttering something. It scared us to death."

Shang Wencai felt that he was indeed very tired.He waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.Let everyone go away.just get up.Continue to load the ammunition.Leave these things to the servants.Shangwen was worried.After all, this is an experiment.Not a finished product.Meng Tian looked at Shang Wen and stopped talking.Didn't say anything.

Two days later, rocket tests began.The princess even got the news and came.Shangwen felt his scalp go numb.

23 Heart-pounding weapons

Came to the school grounds in the north of the city, because it was a weapon of mass destruction.Shang Wen asked Meng Tian to clean up the experiment area.Mainly to avoid idlers.Because this thing is very out of human control.The princess snorted disdainfully.

Shang Wen was not angry either.It took a while to know how amazing the result was.Shangwen is confident.

After a while, an officer who looked like a small school ran over and said that the cleaning was over.Shangwen Mengtian nodded in approval.

In order to achieve the effect of the experimental purpose.Shangwen ordered people to place a large number of straw targets in the target area.The density is quite large.

Shang Wen started preparations at this time.

There are many experiments this time, mainly with a maximum range of 45 degrees.The detonation time of the fuze rocket.There are also intensive firing of the same projectile effect and so on.Shang Wen prepared [-] rockets for this purpose.In order to assemble, Naofumi finally had to involve his servants.Even Meng Tian participated in it, it is really unimaginable, if the gunpowder detonated.The consequences could be disastrous.The princess was gesticulating in the distance, obviously impatient.I don't know what to worry about.This job should not be rushed.Shangwen complained dissatisfied in his heart.

Shangwen and a more courageous servant came to the experimental firing position together.

The first launch is the maximum range.

45-degree angle.Finished.The servant held the lighter and lit it a little timidly.Then he ran to the side of the big pit and lay down in the big pit, looking at the trajectory of the projectile and the phenomenon of launching.After all, there is no professional equipment.Data are hard to come by.Only the most preliminary data are available.

With a sound of "whoosh", the rocket galloped out.A tongue of flame pushed the rocket to gallop out.Projectile trajectory is normal.Without any deflection, a stone finally fell in Shangwen's heart.Shangwen used a balance to calculate details such as powder charges and tail fins.My carefulness finally paid off.

I saw the rocket flew to the distance and disappeared.That's beyond the range.Shangwen felt a little bad in his heart.Immediately gallop up.Greet Meng Tian to get in the car to see the situation.Apparently Meng Tian also realized that something was wrong.Originally, Shangwen thought it would be good if the rocket fired for one kilometer.Unexpectedly, there was still an error.Seriously underestimated the range of the rocket.The princess was also dumbfounded when she saw it. She had never seen anything that could fly so fast, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only some smoke after the gunpowder fired.And I don't know where I went.

Shang Wen and Meng Tian drove out of the shooting range.Finally found it not far away.The rocket blasted a shallow crater half a meter in diameter.Shangwen inspected it carefully and felt very satisfied.Shang Wen looked in the direction of the shooting range, and asked Meng Tian: "How far is Meng Tian from the shooting range? It's probably enough."

Meng Tian made an estimate and said: "It's about five miles away." Shang Wen was secretly happy, it's not bad.

"Sir, this rocket is so powerful and has such a long range, it is really a great siege weapon. If the two armies confront each other, our army can easily launch the rocket and hit the enemy." Meng Tian said happily .
