The Best Fake Eunuch

As we all know, lunatics have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and this disease cannot be cured even by Shangguan Qiji, and even the boss Xiao Chen cannot be cured.

Belonging is a birth defect, an incurable disease.

Regardless of Dugulou's objection, he insisted on making his ideal cannon.

And it really worked.

Speaking of it, I still got the inspiration from Xiao Chen, because Xiao Chen once said that it is possible to install tail fins on the shells...

This is easy to say, but difficult in practice.

Because of the position of the tail fin installation and the shape and size of the fins, it needs to go through countless tests, and each test is an adventure. How many accidents have happened just because the barrel exploded?

Fortunately, they did a good job of safety measures, but only injured dozens of people...

After the shell is pretended to have a tail, it can fly very stably without rifling, which greatly improves the accuracy, and without the resistance of the rifling, the range is relatively improved under the same gunpowder loading.

After Dugulou watched the test firing of the new cannon, he was silent for a long time without being able to say a word.

In the end, there was just a lunatic, lunatic, you are really a lunatic!

Of course, there are still many problems with this new type of cannon. First of all, the manufacturing process of the cannonball is too complicated, and the manufacturing cost is ridiculously high. Moreover, ordinary workers cannot participate in the production at present. They can only be dozens of apprentices brought out by the madman himself. to be able to complete.

In this way, mass production is impossible. So far, only more than a thousand pieces have been produced in total, which is not enough at all.

In addition, it is also prone to failure. For example, the tail of the shell may be broken or deformed when it is fired. In this case, the shell is likely to fall in the middle, and it is all luck whether it is far or near... It may even change the flight path midway , Accidentally injuring friendly troops.

In addition to these big problems, there are many small problems, but despite so many problems, it fully meets the requirements of actual combat.

Although a thousand shells is a bit small, they are powerful. Even if they cannot be installed on all warships, it is no problem to equip dozens of them.

The problem is that Dugu Lou suddenly has a big concern, and has not approved the installation of these artillery on the battleship for a long time.

I went to Zhuge Xiaosheng to talk about my concerns, and Zhuge Xiaosheng also became suspicious. The two of them discussed for a long time but failed to reach a conclusion, so they had to come to the boss to make a decision.

"You mean not to use this cannon?" Xiao Chen was also very surprised when he heard that, why?

The reason is actually very simple, that is, once we use this advanced artillery that is beyond the age in this battle, it will be noticed by many, many people.

Ross people, Dongying people, Westerners, Xiao Xinghan's people, Li Wanjiang's people, and all our enemies...

Then they will definitely rack their brains and try their best to steal the manufacturing process of this artillery, or they will deliberately destroy our arsenal and craftsmen by any means!

This is the concern of Dugulou and Zhuge Xiaosheng.

"Oh..." Xiao Chen suddenly realized that it was so!

The battle of Shunfeng Harbor is very important, but relying on only a few new cannons has nothing to do with victory or defeat. Instead of this, it is better to temporarily hide.

It will not be too late to wait until sufficient shells are produced, or until the manufacturing process is further improved in the future and can be mass-produced.

"Okay, then don't use it for now!" Xiao Chen made a decision after a little thought, "Before we are fully equipped with this kind of artillery, the defense of the arsenal must be strengthened again. I think it should be closed and managed, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. , the people inside are not allowed to come out, I will ask Mo Feng to send another special agent team in later, in case of accidents!"

"Well, that's fine too." The lunatic was the first to agree.

"Except for you! You have to live in the Governor's Mansion for me in the future!" Xiao Chen said loudly.

"Oh, it's very inconvenient to go back and forth like that, inside and outside the city..." The lunatic was very disappointed.

"Hey." Liu Fuhai gloated.

"Don't laugh, your Imperial Treasure Supervisor will also have to be closed for management in the future, but you also have to go back to the Governor's Mansion to live. You two lunatics are desperate to work. I can't just watch you exhausted to death!" Xiao Chen This is an order, not a negotiation.

"All right, all right, you are the boss who listens to you." Liu Fuhai grinned, knowing that he stopped laughing just now.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that the reason why Xiao Chen insisted on letting them come back to live in the Governor's Mansion was mainly for their safety...

"How is your hot air balloon research going?" Xiao Chen was going to use the hot air balloon as an air force, and now is the time to put them into actual combat.

"Ah... not so good." Liu Fuhai looked depressed, "What the hell, I don't even understand how to prevent fire!"

In the past few months, according to incomplete statistics, dozens of hot-air balloon birds that were made with great difficulty have been destroyed!

Without exception, all were destroyed by fire.

And a hot air balloon has no fire but can't fly at all. This is an unsolvable contradiction.

The main reason is that there is no fireproof fabric available now, so Liu Fuhai can only improve the fuel tank and flamethrower.

Although the fireproof performance is greatly enhanced after the steel fireproof cover is added, the weight that can be carried is correspondingly reduced.

At present, the hanging basket can only carry two people and about 30 kilograms of kerosene bottles and explosives that can be thrown down below...

"Isn't this already very good?" Xiao Chen expressed surprise after hearing his description, "Why are you still frowning? Let alone two people can be carried on it, even one person is quite remarkable, Fuhai!"

"Don't mention it!" Liu Fuhai shook his head repeatedly, "The fire shield can only prevent the flamethrower from igniting, but the temperature it generates is very high, and the gunpowder and kerosene bottles will explode immediately when they get close!"

This is really a big problem.

In addition, whether it is a bottle of kerosene or a pack of explosives, before throwing it down, it must be lit first, right?

And when you light the fire, you have to see the sparks. When the sparks are blown by the wind, the ball cover may be ignited. How windy is it in the sky...

It is said that it is okay to use a trigger bomb? Sure, but you have to be able to make it.

If the trigger mechanism is not sensitive, the failure rate must be very high. If it falls with a slight angle deviation, it will not be detonated. If it is too sensitive, it may be detonated directly even when you are moving...

The lunatic doesn't have time to help him develop this thing now, and he can't make it himself. Besides, he can't devote his energy to researching this thing. There are still so many problems in his hot air balloon that have not been solved!

"You don't need to worry if you think about it slowly. There is no fear of bombs. Even if we throw stones from above, we can still kill people. The main reason is deterrence!" Xiao Chen said.

"I think the biggest function of the hot air balloon is to detect the enemy's situation. I tried it once, and it was condescending, and it was clear!" Lin Yue said.
