Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony

What Kong Ming said was already obvious, that is, he wanted to drive away the heroes present at the meeting, and enter the link of new firearm technology with Qu Mao. In fact, it was difficult for Kong Ming to wait until the first two issues were discussed.

The participants were basically veteran heroes from the Yi Gong territory. Although they were not as experienced as Kong Ming, they basically knew the characters of Kong Ming and Qu Mao very well. .

After confirming with Qu Mao that the Firearms Army station and the Firearms Research Institute selected Midway Twin Islands and the preliminary preparations that need to be carried out, they bid farewell to Qu Mao and Kong Ming, and left the temporary firearms experiment site next to the Liandao Lathe Factory.

After sending these heroes away, neither Qu Mao nor Kong Ming started to talk about technology. Instead, they went to the cafeteria of Liandao Lathe Factory together and finished their dinner silently.

After dinner, Qu Mao looked at Kong Ming's incomplete goose feather fan and red eyes, sighed, and said, "Kong Ming, from your burnt eyebrows, the previous firearm experiments were basically You do it yourself.

With the further development of firearms and weapons, it will become more and more dangerous for us to engage in firearms research and development experiments. As one of the most important heroes in the Yigong territory, I don't want you to continue to stay on the front line of firearms research and development, let alone do it yourself More dangerous firearms experiments followed. "

Kong Ming said: "My lord, let's not talk about these things first, you should tell your subordinates the latest two firearm technologies."

Qu Mao shook his head helplessly, and said, "One of the two new technologies is related to gunpowder, which is more dangerous.

In fact, it is a mechanical technology for processing the barrel and the inner wall of the barrel. You also know that the better the barrel and the inner wall of the barrel are processed, the more stable the performance of our muskets and artillery, and the longer the range will be.

Another technology about the remote detonation of gunpowder. With it, flintlock guns are not a big problem. They can be fired directly without flint, but the danger is very high. "

Kong Ming said with bright eyes: "My lord, don't worry, let's talk about it one by one.

Let's talk about mechanical technology first, then gunpowder technology, and the subordinates will write it down first. "

After speaking, Kong Ming took out a pen and paper.

Qu Mao sighed again, took out a pen and paper, and while writing and drawing on the table, he said: "Machining technology is boring machine manufacturing technology, which is a technology developed on the basis of lathes.

First of all, there is a power system to ensure that the boring tool can rotate at high speed, and then fix the tube blank to cut the inner tube..."

Kong Ming's talent itself is related to mechanical equipment, so Qu Mao explained while drawing a picture. After he said it only once, Kong Ming threw away his pen and said: "It's so simple, it's a disguised application of a lathe. Didn't think of it?

Don't worry, my lord, within a week, my subordinates will definitely make the first boring machine. With the boring machine, the gun factory and artillery factory that Meng De has been holding back will be able to form production capacity as soon as possible. "

Qu Mao nodded, put together the papers that had already been drawn, handed them to Kong Ming, and said, "The next thing is an extremely dangerous gunpowder ignition material, called Thunder Mercury.

The mixing of burmercury definitely requires a lot of experiments, but the explosion of burmercury is almost instantaneous, so the risk is very high.

What we fire now are solid iron bullets. Once Thunder Mercury is developed, it is possible to fill the shell itself with gunpowder and let the shell or bullet hit the target before detonating. In this way, we can not only enrich our ammunition types, but also It can set hand-throwing grenades and buried trap-type mines..."

Listening to Qu Mao's explanation, Kong Ming frowned and said, "My lord, I think this thing is very good, but besides enriching our ammunition, is there any other application?"

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Once Thunder Mercury is developed, in terms of firearm types, we can produce more melee weapons such as grenades and landmines.

From the improvement of our existing firearms, because of the faster ignition speed, larger bullet and shell charges, and the improved barrel and barrel of the boring machine, the range of our firearms can be increased by at least three times, reaching 270 meters Above, it can even reach a range of 500 meters, and the shells can even exceed the range of 10 kilometers.

The bullets and shells can also be diversified, and the bullets are very small, so we won't talk about them for now. Cannonballs have changed a lot. For example, inside the oval bullet, we can fill a certain amount of gunpowder and small iron balls to form a flowering bullet.

Solid iron bullets can only cause a line of damage, but blooming bullets can cause an area of ​​damage at the point where the shell hits. You can understand the damage by thinking about it yourself.

In addition, the projectile warhead can also be filled with kerosene to form incendiary bombs, etc., and so on. As your research deepens, you will inevitably find more applications.

I think, but the improvement of the shooting range and the improvement of the firing method will greatly increase the power of our guns and artillery, not to mention the longer range, which means that we have many opportunities to output damage before the enemy attacks us... ..."

Kong Ming nodded, and took a pen to record vigorously on the paper. After thoroughly recording, he said with bright eyes: "My lord, why didn't you tell your subordinates about such a significant scientific and technological progress earlier? Your subordinates were fired by the flint." After being forced by the gun for half a month, he was about to go crazy.

Qu Mao shook his head helplessly, and said, "Especially when made by Thunder Mercury, the risk factor is too high.

If some researchers from the Firearms Research Institute die because of the research and development of mercury, I will feel particularly uncomfortable, but I can also accept it. If you die because of the research and development of Thunder Mercury, it will be a burden I cannot bear.

Your value to the territory of Yigong is not just hiding on the islands to develop firearms, nor is it that you hid on outlying islands to research power systems in the past. "

Kong Ming nodded and said: "My lord, you don't allow my subordinates to conduct the thunder mercury experiment in person, my subordinates can understand your difficulties, and thank you for your consideration.

The subordinates will try their best to arrange them out, but please don’t worry, my lord, the number of subordinates is also a hero. If you form an army before the experiment, even if you die, you can be resurrected in a tavern in the holy land. good.

However, this subordinate still has to apply to you, sir, for at least three months. If it is not enough, it will wait until the firearms army station and the firearms research institute on Twin Islands are on the right track, and then the subordinates will hand over the matter at hand to the firearms research institute. What do you think, my lord? "

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Thunder mercury needs to be developed as soon as possible, but I still don't agree with you to conduct the experiment yourself.

As for the three months you need, I can give it to you. There is no problem with this. The smooth handover between the Firearms Research Institute and the Firearms Army is itself a relatively important thing for the Yigong Territory, not less than three months. "

Kong Ming said: "My lord, this subordinate understands, otherwise let's discuss the two technologies again."

As a non-engineering Buddhist freshman, Qu Mao's knowledge structure is definitely not enough to support him to exchange thunder mercury manufacturing technology and boring machine manufacturing technology with Kong Ming. The reason why he has to seize the time to come to Liandao this time is nothing more than cheating on the technology column Two technologies of "boring machine manufacturing blueprint" and "thunder mercury manufacturing technology" were refreshed in it, so after Qu Mao bought it with cheating value, he immediately wanted to find Kong Ming's practice of transforming into Yi Gong's territory.

Qu Mao packed the paper he had written before and handed it to Kong Ming, and took out new paper again. Based on his own understanding, he explained the two techniques to Kong Ming again, and drew some schematic diagrams.

Kong Ming also raised some sharp questions from his own practical point of view. Regardless of whether he could answer them or not, Qu Mao either gave Kong Ming an answer or told him which direction he could work hard according to his own understanding.

The two chatted very late, and Qu Mao finally felt that he could not cope with Kong Ming's question at all, so he interrupted Kong Ming impatiently, saying: "You should study these two technologies more yourself. You know, once many problems go deep, I don't really understand either."

Afterwards, Qu Mao not only handed over all the paper he used for writing and drawing to Kong Ming, but also handed over the "boring machine manufacturing blueprint" and "thunder mercury manufacturing technology" he purchased from the cheating technology column to Kong Ming.

Kong Ming took a look at the "boring machine manufacturing blueprint" and "thunder mercury manufacturing technology", and then solemnly folded it together with Qu Mao's writing and drawing paper and put it back in his backpack.

Qu Mao said: "Kong Ming, after you go to Twin Islands, you can consider building a university for research on gunpowder and firearms, and recruit new college students to participate in the research of gunpowder technology and firearms technology.

Even if the two of us don't sleep tonight, we still have to draw the general construction plan of the Midway Twin Islands, so that Li Xiang can deal with it earlier. "

Kong Ming said: "My lord, the small island is 10 square kilometers, which is completely enough to build a firearms research institute, a firearms university, and even a firearms and artillery shooting site. At worst, the firing direction of the artillery is towards the sea.

As for the 36 square kilometers of the Big Island, leave it to the future Chafidel to plan. In the early days, we will build a military camp that can accommodate 30,000 people and a shooting range.

With these two technologies, especially the boring machine technology that can be converted quickly, the subordinates feel that our firearms army will appear too slow according to Xuande's rhythm.

The boring machine factory will also be built in Liandao at that time, but because the twin islands will use boring machines halfway, water conservancy projects that can generate hydraulic power are essential.

It just so happens that Li Xiang has rich experience in this field, sir, if you draw a simple schematic diagram, the subordinates think that Li Xiang can construct it. "

Qu Mao took out a pen and paper and said, "Well, so the small island is a firearms research institute, a firearms university, a shooting site, a small-batch production workshop, and hydrodynamic water conservancy measures? The firearms university can use the school's construction drawings to complete the infrastructure.

Big Island is water conservancy projects, greening projects, military camps, training grounds and shooting ranges, as well as supporting facilities such as medical rooms.

In the early days, I am afraid that the navy will assist in the defense..."
