Chapter 52 Half-Step Theory
If Yu Xiaotian still wants to increase the effective range, he can only increase the amount of gunpowder loading and increase the length of the barrel. However, in this way, the recoil will be greatly improved. I'm afraid that it is difficult for people who are slightly thinner to effectively control this kind of fire. If the length increases too much, it is not easy to walk together. At the same time, It adds a lot of weight, and it is difficult to ensure the shooting accuracy when shooting without support, so these two methods are not very suitable. After all, this kind of rifle is a front-loaded smoothb gun.
The most effective solution is to pull out the chamber of this kind of gun tube and convert it into a front-mounted rifle. In this way, the projectile is embedded in the worm line and closely combined with the chamber wall, which can effectively close the gas, reduce the amount of gas discharge of combustion, and make full use of the explosive power of gunpowder. In this way, it can shoot the essence. While the degree will be greatly improved, it can also enable the bullet to obtain higher initial speed and kinetic energy, greatly increasing the range.
But if you do this, let alone the technical difficulty of pulling the rebarren, this is not impossible to solve. If you really want to make a wire barrel gun, the first thing to solve is the problem of loading.
In history, the bore gun was actually invented very early, but it could not be effectively promote it for a long time. The most important problem is that the bullets of the early bore gun are difficult to be put into the barrel. In the early days, the * hand that used the bore gun sometimes had to hit the stick with a hammer to knock the bullet into the barrel, so that It is extremely inconvenient to use and has a certain danger, which makes users sometimes unable to put bullets into the gun, which makes it very embarrassing.
Therefore, if a rifle is manufactured, the first problem to be solved is the problem of loading the projectile. If the projectile is large, it may not be able to be loaded into the barrel. If it is small, the projectile cannot effectively combine with the rifled gun, resulting in an increase in the amount of deflatedness and the loss of the advantage of the rifled gun.
So so far, if modern bullets cannot be effectively produced when the ravelin gun cannot be produced, the only solution to this problem is the use of Mine bullets.
Speaking of the Minet rifle, in fact, the Minet rifle is actually a kind of wire-loaded tice gun. The Minee bullet is actually a cylindrical lead bullet. The diameter of the lead bullet is smaller than the caliber of the barrel. When it is put into the barrel, it avoids the embarrasment that the projectile is too big to be stuffed into the barrel.
Moreover, the Minee bullet body has threads, and the tail is hollow, and the cork is stuffed into it. When the fire is fired, the gunpowder explodes to push the cork, causing the bullet body to expand, effectively making the bullet body and the chamber wall of the wire close together, playing the role of air closure, so that the bullet obtains greater kinetic energy and muzzle velocity, and round The head columnar lead bomb rotates in flight, which can effectively stabilize the trajectory and improve accuracy.
In this way, the rifle was gradually accepted and began to equip many armies in the world in large quantities.
So Yu Xiaotian has a way to solve this problem. Now what he wants most is to get a super-era weapon, but he must be able to use the current technical level to effectively produce. He is not so ambitious that he intends to directly create a big killer as AK47, only He will be very satisfied if he can make a Minet gun.
In this era, there is no need for technology to be too advanced. As long as the technology is in the first half, it can effectively play the role of defeating the enemy. Once the step is too big, it will not only get twice the result with half the effort. Not to mention being stuck in the bottleneck of technology production, it is also easy to get involved.
At present, Zhang blacksmith has basically figured out the technology of building an ordinary smoothbore barrel. The next step is to gradually familiarize yourself with and cultivate more craftsmen. As time goes by, he can gradually solve the problem of high production waste rate.
Then he only needs to solve the problem of pulling the worm, and then he only needs to solve this problem, and he can get a weapon beyond the technical level of this era.
As for the firing mechanism of *, Yu Xiaotian didn't think much about it. At present, he can still let the craftsmen solve the flounce gun. As for the fire cap gun, the firing pin gun and even the full metal shell bullets, he didn't think about it.
Because in order to reach that technical level, it is necessary to make a breakthrough in the chemical industry, at least to be able to produce nitric acid.
Although Yu Xiaotian Chemistry is also okay, it is very unrealistic for him to establish a chemical industry system now. Building such a chemical industry system involves too much, and the technology required is also very high, but the danger is also very large. Needless to say, he only knows the principles, but he does not know what to do. .
So he dares not think too much at present. He can only rely on the technology that can be achieved in the current era to promote the development of weapons technology.
Then the only remaining choice is to make a huskling gun.
After looking at the various experimental results of this pipe created by Zhang Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian did not immediately start experimenting with pulling the worm line of the pipe. Instead, he greatly praised Zhang Blacksmith and asked him to continue to build this pipe to stabilize the process and improve the yield as soon as possible.
In the next step, we will train more apprentices, increase the production quantity, and equip them for the use of the sea wolf department. As for the firing mechanism, Yu Xiaotian has actually discussed the firing mechanism of the flincter with Zhang blacksmith, and is ready to stop using the old-style fire rope firing after the successful trial production of the tube, and completely abandon the firing method of fire rope ignition. .
According to what he knew, Yu Xiaotian spent some sketches of the musket firing mechanism, just a sketch, and told Zhang the principle of the musket mechanism, and asked Zhang to design and trial production by himself according to the sketches and principles. At present, Zhang blacksmithsman has not had time to do this, but after having the schematic diagram, Zhang It must not be difficult to solve a workaholic like a blacksmith.
Although Yu Xiaotian always feels that I don't want to wait, the advancement of technology always requires a process. It is impossible for him to eat a fat man. Unless he brings a few lathes and a large number of technical data drawings when he crosses over, otherwise, any technological advancement and breakthrough must be made. Do a lot of experiments and explorations.
Zhang Blacksmith saw that Yu Xiaotian was very satisfied with the barium tube he created himself. Naturally, he was very happy in his heart. The biggest reward for technical talents like him is not necessarily a monetary or material reward. What they are most happy about is that someone appreciates their craftsmanship and works, which can make them really Satisfied.
Yu Xiaotian understood the ideas of people like them, so he did not give him too much reward, but in terms of words, he gave him high praise, which made Zhang's blacksmith grin, and his dark face showed a child-like smile, which made Yu Xiaotian feel this The guy's smile is very cute now.
(Anyway, the fever has finally subsided. I don't know if it will continue to burn at night! But let's update it first! After all, I promised to update twice a day this month. If I can stick to it, I will stick to it! I hope you will continue to support us! It's not easy for us to code words! Some time ago, it was said that a writer suddenly died at home, and it was discovered two days later! I hope this kind of thing doesn't happen to me!)
