Chapter 137 There is a mountain outside the mountain
It's just that Yu Xiaotian was a little disappointed that this guy was too small. He couldn't help bending down, put forward the box with one hand, stood up and looked at the gun barrel.
The inner diameter of the barrel is only about four to five centimeters, and the gun wall is relatively thin, which obviously cannot withstand too much pressure, but this is also related to the performance of the flan machine gun.
This guy belongs to the rapid-fire gun of this era. What he pursues is not the range and power, but the speed of fire. Coupled with the level of processing technology in this era, without the help of modern machinery with high precision, such as lathes, milling machines and boring machines, the combination of the son-gun and the female gun will not be very tight, and there will be relatively large In the gap, the inner diameter of the mother's diaphragm may also be a little larger than that of the mother's, which inevitably causes deflatedness.
So the bore pressure of the mother can't be very high, and the barrel wall naturally does not need to bear too much pressure. If it is thinner, it can also be used. Therefore, it is definitely impossible for this thing to become a big killer in naval warfare.
"Brother, this guy weighs 80 pounds. There should have been nine, but when it came to me, there were only six left. Last year, my men accidentally collapsed another one, and there were only five left!
It turns out that this guy is an officer and army. Didn't the officer and army come to fight our Nanri Island in the first two years? Later, our brothers worked together to beat the officers and soldiers away, and captured many men and soldiers. This French plane was taken by my brothers!
Now I still have it on my ship, and I don't need this Fran machine, so I'll give it to you! If you don't know how to use it this time, you can send someone to press this guy on the boat quickly, and I'll send my men to teach you how to play with this thing later!
This guy looks useful, but if he is not careful, he will also hurt his own people, so you have to let your men be careful!"
Wang Hong pointed to this door proudly and said to Xiaotian.
After Yu Xiaotian looked at it, although he was a little disappointed, on second thought, this thing is better than nothing. Although it is a little smaller, the hundreds of guns and bowls in his hand are not much stronger. The biggest advantage of this kind of Franco machine is that it has a fast firing rate and can fire several cannons in a short time. During the war, it can effectively suppress the living forces on the other ship.
And Wang Hong also sincerely wanted to help him and improve his strength. He was the key to this, so he quickly put down the French machine again and turned around to thank Wang Hong and Fang An.
At this moment, Fang An looked surprised, because just now, Yu Xiaotian easily took the Fran machine out of the box with one hand, as if it took no effort at all.
You should know that although this Fran machine is not too heavy, it is at least more than 80 catties. It is okay for two people to lift it, and it is difficult for one person to carry it, but Yu Xiaotian is as good as it is okay. It can be seen that Yu Xiaotian's arm strength is amazing. This hand alone is surprising enough, so Fang An is not Dare to underestimate Yu Xiaotian again, he couldn't help nodding.
"Brother, you don't have to be polite to me. You and I will be our own family in the future. We have to work together. Brothers don't need this thing at the time being, and we can leave it away. It's better to give it to you! Hurry up, this time we are going to let go of the gang of Jianglong. We can't delay here! Come up with good wine and meat here. After eating, let's take a break and go quickly!
Our boss ordered that we have to meet on Xidog Island before dark the next day. If it's late, it's hard to explain!" Wang Hong said carelessly.
Yu Xiaotian quickly asked people to prepare wine and dishes, so that the cook stewed the large pieces of whale meat, served them in a pot, and sent them to the outside of the stockade to let Wang Hong's men open their bellies for a meal.
"The head of the family! When we went ashore just now, we saw a skeleton of a whale on the shore. Did it rush to the shore? You must be lucky this time and take the opportunity to cut a lot of whale meat!" Fang An took the initiative to ask Xiaotian at this time.
Yu Xiaotian replied with a smile, "This can't be regarded as our good luck!" This whale was caught by my brother who took someone to sea the other day ago, not by itself! Whale meat has really been made a lot!
Today, you and Brother Wang are here, and you can try something new by the way! Later, I will send someone to send some to your ship, so that the brothers can have enough energy to work!"
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Wang Hong and Fang An were shocked again. Before Fang An could speak, Wang Hong shouted, "I said, brother, you are not dizzy! Do you dare to do this? How did you catch such a big whale? You're not crazy!"
Yu Xiaotian didn't want them to know too much about whaling, so he shook his head and said, "It's a coincidence! Brother Wang, you also know that my brother is bold. A few days ago, when I went to sea, I happened to meet this whale and looked at such a large amount of meat. I was really greedy, so I took my brother to take action on it!
This thing is really powerful. It broke a sumban after giving birth, which is also a bit of luck. Somehow, it actually hurt its key point! Kill it inexplicably! It took a lot of effort to drag it back! It's not right to say whether it's luck or not. It's also good luck! Come on! Let's taste this guy's meat later!
Our island is not better than yours. There is nothing to treat you. Let's take it as a rare meal. Unfortunately, there is a lack of seasonings here, otherwise it may taste better!"
Yu Xiaotian said this lightly, which was regarded as a fool.
But Fang An couldn't help exclaiming: "Before, the third brother said that you were a powerful role, but I still don't believe it. Now it seems that the third brother is right. Yu is really awesome! If you can ask the head of the house to help us this time, there will be more chances to win!"
Large pieces of whale meat came out in a pot. Wang Hong, Fang An and their men had never seen such a meat-eating situation. They smelled the fragrant pickled whale meat, and they couldn't wait to stretch out their hands in their throats and open their bellies to eat and chew.
In this way, Fang An and his men, including his men, were also very satisfied with coming here this time. They all ate their mouths full of oil and praised them.
Yu Xiaotian accompanied Wang Hong and Fang An to eat and drink enough, and immediately recruited Guo Fu and others, and lifted the Furang cannon to the Sea Wolf.
This Franc machine gun is a light gun, which does not need to be carried by a heavy gun frame, and the recoil is limited. It can be mounted directly on the side of the ship, but it needs a stand to set the gun on the stand.
Originally, it would be better to build an iron frame, but now time is tight. They can only let Guo Fu take people to make a temporary shelf with hardwood, put the cannon on the wooden frame, and let Zhang blacksmith build an iron frame when he comes back later.
Wang Hong also sent two subordinates who could use this cannon to teach Yu Xiaotian how to operate this kind of Franco machine gun.
Although the Franco cannon is also very primitive, it is the most primitive rear-loaded artillery, but it is really not very simple to operate. It is not difficult to load the gun, but the process of putting the gun in the tail of the mother gun is not simple.
The mouth of the son-gun must be tightly combined with the mother-gun. After putting in the son-gun, the son-gun must be firmly into the mother-gun with a copper vertical wedge. Otherwise, once the gun is ignited, the seal of this thing is not good, and it is likely to blow fire out from the combination of the son-gun and the mother-mother-gun, and even spray fire backwards. Carelessness may hurt the gunner.
And if the tail copper wedge is not firmly beaten, the mother may burst out when the tail is angry, and the cracked is light, and it will hurt more people.
At the beginning, Wang Hong would not do this. He recklessly let his men fuck. As a result, he injured two or three of his men, and Ziqi also burst one.
This is a bloody lesson, so Wang Hong has repeatedly urged Yu Xiaotian to be careful.
While Wang Hong led people to teach Yu Xiaotian how to operate the Franco cannon, Fang An also followed Yu Xiaotian's sea wolf with a shy face.
After he glanced around, he looked at these seawolves with great new eyes. Since he went to sea, no matter what he has done for so many years, he has seen no more than a thousand boats, at least hundreds of them, but he has never seen any ship that can be as clean and tidy as Yu Xiaotian's ship.
Looking at the whole ship, the deck was wiped clean, and all the items were neatly arranged in place without any messy feeling. I reached out and touched anywhere on the ship and couldn't touch any dirt such as dust. It looked refreshing and felt very comfortable and refreshing.
When Fang An saw this, he couldn't help shaking his head and smiled bitterly. Although it was early for them to go to work in the sea, after seeing these sea wolves today, he knew that there were mountains outside the mountain and there was a sky outside the sky. He was embarrassed to compare with Yu Xiaotian.
So Fang An walked behind Yu Xiaotian and rarely took out the iron hook of his left hand from his arms. He held the iron hook with his right hand and said to Xiaotian, "Yu Dang! I'm here today, Mr. Fang! In the past, I only heard the third brother say how you have the ability. It's better to see it than to hear it. Today, Mr. Fang has learned it! I still hope that the head of the family will teach you how to take care of your brothers in such an orderly manner?
Yu Xiaotian was busy learning how to operate this Fran cannon. After hearing Fang An's words, he quickly turned around and said, "Brother Fang, you're welcome! Yu is also a person who likes cleanliness a little. He just set more rules for his brothers! In fact, I don't have much ability, but it makes Brother Fang laugh!
You have done this industry much earlier than at the bottom, but you still want to ask for more advice from your two brothers!
To be honest, Yu hasn't been with anyone at sea several times so far. This time, he went to punch his two brothers. I really don't know what to do. I hope Brother Fang will not hesitate to give advice and maintain more!"
"You're welcome! Yu Dangjia is so polite! This behavior of your brothers is forbidden. Even the officers and soldiers do not have such momentum. We still need to contact more in the future!" Fang An completely put away his arrogant style and looked much more polite in front of Xiaotian.
