Chapter 84 Accumulate Strength
Zhang Yang made one and weighed it with his hand, about a little more than a catty and a half, which is a little heavier than the seven-bar and one-style grenade equipped by the army.
Before batch production, it is necessary to determine whether the grenade is successful: the first is whether it can be thrown far enough, the second is whether it is powerful enough, and the third is whether the delay time is enough.
According to the requirements of the army, the single soldier standing posture helpless running grenade throwing pass the assessment is 30 meters, good 35 meters, excellent more than 40 meters.
One step is about 1.5 meters. If you change it to the current unit, as long as you invest 20 steps, you will be qualified.
Zhang Yang held the bamboo handle of the grenade in his right hand, with his left foot forward, his right foot back, and his body leaned back, using all his strength to throw it forward.
The grenade drew a beautiful arc and flew through the sky.
"Deng!" He fell to the ground and jumped forward before stopping.
Zhang Yang took a visual test and was quite satisfied. Looking at this, there are more than 20 steps. If you find a strong person to throw, you should be able to throw farther.
"Brother, is this iron pimple we made going to be thrown out and smashed?" Li Bosheng asked next to him.
He looked at Zhang Yang's movements, which was very strange. If he smashed people, why did he use precious iron water? Isn't it enough to throw it out with a stone? However, this bamboo handle is really good. It is very suitable to hold it in your hand, which is much more convenient than throwing stones.
"What? Throw it out and smash it?" Zhang Yang listened and laughed: "Unless it's the other party standing densely and waiting for you to smash it, how can it be so accurate?"
"What's the big brother?"
"Give me the fire fold, and you will know." Zhang Yang said.
Fire fold? Li Bosheng looked at the fuse and suddenly thought, "Brother, can we eat fish today?"
"No, the matter of fried fish must not be revealed." Zhang Yang said.
If everyone knows that this thing can fry fish, it won't take long for these grenades to be stolen by them. Moreover, it often makes a loud noise, which will be found around.
Zhang Yang looked at the open space in front of him, took a deep breath, lit the fuse, and smoked.
He looked at the open space, learned the posture just now, and threw the grenade out.
The grenade flew out again and hit the ground.
A person watching the fun next to him, learning from what he had just said, planned to pick it up for Zhang Yang.
"Don't move! It's dangerous!" Zhang Yang shouted.
"Boom!" A loud noise. Black smoke is everywhere, which is the sequelae of black gunpowder.
The man just now fell down in response.
Isn't it? He is still more than a dozen steps away from the grenade. This grenade doesn't kill half a catty, does it? Two steps is powerful enough.
"Old Cui!" Li Bosheng ran over.
Before he ran to him, he stood up tremblingly. His hands were still trembling and he shouted, "My mother, I'm scared to death. What the hell was this just now? Why is it so loud?"
"What a bastard!" Li Bosheng was relieved at this time. Cui Laohan is also a good player under his own. If he reimburses it, he will lose a good labor force.
Zhang Yang also stepped forward quickly to see that Mr. Cui was fine, and then ran to the place where the grenade exploded.
I'm quite satisfied. The cast iron shell exploded into four or five petals and flew about two meters away, and the slag inside has scattered and flew farther, three or four meters.
The lethality is enough, and there is no problem with the delay time. Okay, that's it!
The explosion caused people around to gather around, and even Tang He came.
"Brother, what is it? Is it so loud?" Tang He said.
"Go back and guard your post, explain your affairs to Yuan Heng clearly, and make preparations. There is nothing to do with you here. If you ask one more word, you will cancel the business. Zhang Yang said coldly.
Tang He didn't say anything and ran away. He finally caught a chance to go out. Don't let yourself mess it up.
"You too, work quickly!" Zhang Yang shouted.
When it was made just now, Li Bosheng had been observing, so Li Bosheng had mastered this production method. Zhang Yang also gave a few precautions, such as the lead should be kept long enough, such as the grip should be closely combined with the billet, and the inside had to be blocked to prevent damp and hoarse fire, such as the ratio of gunpowder and slag. For example, I have carefully repeated that the quality of weapon manufacturing must be guaranteed, otherwise, when fighting a war, it is a matter of life.
Finally, he told Li Bosheng to make 20 pieces without gunpowder and use them as training bombs.
After all this was carried out in an orderly manner, Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. After three or four days from the salt farm, it was time to go back. Otherwise, being suspected by the leaders of the salt farm would also cause trouble.
The only thing he is thinking about is Shixin, who asked him to go to Xinghua to sell salt, and it's time to come back.
Now the production capacity of the coarse salt purification line is not only enough to provide refined salt for He Zhaoyi, but also a part left. This part is enough to meet the needs of large households nearby. The relationship has been established. Shixin only needs to send salt and bring back the silver, which is not a waste of time at all. However, he also took Shi Yi and Lv Zhen, who are very shrewd people. They can also take care of each other when they encounter emergencies.
The recent development of the base is mainly coarse salt purification and ironmaking. The coarse salt purification has been on track. After Tanghe contacted the rebel army, it is also a large amount of money to sell the iron to the rebel army. The money cannot be stored in hand. Part of it is used to buy coal, so that Li Bosheng can continue to collect it with reliable people. Mine, black gunpowder, ironmaking. You should also find a way to further reduce the impurities in iron as soon as possible. It is the top priority to make fire.
Another part of the funds is used to buy food. Food is the first necessity of the people. People can't not eat. No matter how much money they earn, they don't spend it. It's just a pile of waste, which becomes grain and stores the capital to dominate the world. A lot of grain warehouses have been built. The last batch of grain was consumed a lot because of the increase in the population of the base. It's better to fill all the grain warehouses. Don't panic when you have food in your hand.
Up to now, there are only more than 100 people in the base, and there are only 60 or 70 laborers in their prime, and the manpower is still far from enough. The next step is to recruit a group of reliable people, stationed in the port of killing, and secretly train into a small army. Once the time is ripe, they will rise rapidly.
The thing buried in the killing port, every time Zhang Yang remembers it, is full of heart. It really has a kind of magic, which affects his psychology from afar.
Zhang Yang thought about it and walked around.
Suddenly, I looked up and saw that I had reached the shore. In the reeds in the distance, the mast of a boat was exposed. There was a bright red flag on the top of the mast, which was dazzling.
Shixin is back!
