Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 938
This arsenal is located on the outskirts of the capital, with a vast battlefield and relatively few buildings, because the arsenal manufactures weapons and conducts experiments here.

After entering the gate of the wall, there are cars belonging to the arsenal parked here.Emperor Chongzhen and others got into the car, and then continued along a cement road.

They didn't go to any building, but to a wild place.Before the car stopped, Sun Chuanting and the others saw a very strange car in front of them.

Just looking at it like this, they could see that this car was probably the nemesis of the cavalry that the emperor said.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say that this is a car, because it’s completely different from the big truck I’ve been on just now, and even the small car that appeared in the Forbidden City more than a year ago is also quite different.

After stopping the car, after all, Emperor Chongzhen was there, everyone restrained their curiosity and didn't dare to rush up to look at it immediately.But this did not prevent them from keeping their eyes on the strange-shaped car.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them, or didn't need to glance at them at all, to know that their hearts at this moment were probably all in this car.Therefore, he didn't delay and said to them directly: "This is what I said is the nemesis of the cavalry army. You can go and have a look first."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Sun Chuanting and others saluted Emperor Chongzhen, and then they all gathered around to look at it strangely.

I saw that this car is not the kind with wheels at all, or it is not the wheels with rubber tires, but is composed of many small iron wheels, which are a bit similar to the ones on the train, and then there is a layer of iron on the outside of the wheels.It can't be said to be iron sheet, but the kind with gears.

This is a very big difference now.

Then there is a very big difference, in the front of the car, there is actually a large steel plate standing upright, a bit like a breastplate, with a protruding one in the middle, and the kind that is angled.

In the middle of this steel plate, there is a hole from which a gun barrel protrudes. No, to be precise, there are several gun barrels bundled together.

At the end of the gun, there is a drum and a handle.What is this?
Sun Chuanting and the others looked puzzled and continued to look down.

From the layout point of view, the driver is on the side, one person should be responsible for the gun, and one person should be responsible for driving the car.There is a place for a person in the back, and there are boxes and the like. It seems that this person is assisting in shooting.

The whole car, except the front is made of steel plates, the sides and top of the car are also made of steel plates, and each plate has small windows, which look like glass windows.

Among them, the upper steel plate is inclined backward, and the windows are relatively large in the second half.

At the back of the car is a door, this is an ordinary door, and there are two large windows.At this moment, the door is open.Sun Chuanting and others were therefore able to see clearly the situation inside through the light that penetrated through the windows and doors.

Careful Sun Chuanting also saw a light bulb inside, and it is estimated that the interior of the car can also be illuminated after it is driven.

This car is really weird.

While watching, Sun Chuanting walked around the car.He found that in front of the car, there were actually two electric lights, which were also blocked by thick glass.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them with a smile on the sidelines, guessing that they had finished reading, and then he said: "This cavalry nemesis actually gathered a lot of the most advanced achievements of Gephysics in Ming Dynasty!"

While saying this, he was actually feeling emotional in his heart. After Liu Weichao's court intervened, the help given to him and the improvement in Gephysics were really great in all aspects.

At this time, upon hearing Emperor Chongzhen speak, no matter whether they were still curiously observing the senior officials of Ming Dynasty, they all consciously came to him and listened to him.

So, I heard Emperor Chongzhen continue to say to them with a hint of pride: "This cavalry nemesis, when facing the cavalry, it is impossible for our current enemy's weapons, whether it is bows and arrows or muskets, to cause any harm to it. Injury. I believe Zhu Qing should be able to see this point."

While speaking, he walked over and touched the steel plate on the car body, and then continued to say to these officials: "In addition, the arsenal has done experiments here, that is, ordinary heavy artillery, unless it is within [-] steps, it is possible to face it. The car does damage, otherwise, the enemy's iron bullets will be bounced off the car body. The principle is a bit like a breastplate, it will not be pierced by a spear, and it will not be able to withstand force inside!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and then added: "Of course, if you shoot from the rear, you will still be injured. But, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the enemy to launch shelling at our car from the rear!"

As for what Emperor Chongzhen said, with Sun Chuanting's eyes, he could naturally see it.However, after Emperor Chongzhen himself said that even heavy artillery could not damage him, he was still somewhat surprised.

He was thinking, Emperor Chongzhen was still talking and said: "I believe Zhuqing will be very strange when he sees this wheel, how can there be such a strange wheel?"

As he said that, he laughed, because at the beginning, when the people from the court at Liu Weichao’s side proposed this design, he thought it was a bit unbelievable. Later, after watching the tank video in that world, he suddenly realized it.

Emperor Chongzhen has seen it before, so he can understand why the wheels are like this, but the people present, except the prince Zhu Cihong, have never seen it at all, so it is really unimaginable to them. Such an odd wheel.

They can understand the rubber tires of those big trucks just now. They are similar to the wheels of the previous carriages, but after using rubber, they can absorb shocks and are very easy to use.

Wang Chengen is obviously a person who has a thorough understanding of Emperor Chongzhen, so he heard him replying to Emperor Chongzhen: "Long live Lord, this is talking about the heart of the servant, and the servant has been very puzzled since seeing this car. With such a strange wheel?"

Emperor Chongzhen listened very comfortably, and continued to speak smoothly: "It is precisely because of the design of this wheel that this car can drive on some undulating roads. After all, overseas roads are basically If the muddy ground is the one with rubber tires, it is likely to sink into it, but this kind of wheel will not. Zhu Qing will see in a while that this kind of car will basically climb up and down without too much trouble. Big question!"

Hearing this, many officials were very surprised and looked at this strange wheel again.

Emperor Chongzhen waited for a while, and after letting them look at the tracked wheels again, he pointed to the gun in the carriage and said: "Some of you have actually heard of a new type of firearm that is being developed before, and I will tell you Wait, this is it!"

Sun Chuanting had heard from Emperor Chongzhen before that it was similar to the three-eyed or five-eyed blunderbuss, which could turn and shoot.

Now that he looked at it, he actually thought of what Emperor Chongzhen said back then.

To be honest, he was still a little puzzled.

This gun, Sun Chuanting saw just now, should be fixed on the car, so he was surprised.How do I continue to reload after finishing shooting?

He was thinking, but Emperor Chongzhen continued to say: "I can tell Qing and others that this kind of multi-barreled gun has a rate of fire of about 1 rounds per minute."

At this time, the various units of measurement on Daming's side have all begun to be refined.In terms of time units, in addition to the traditional hours and quarter hours, the concept of hours, minutes and seconds is also introduced.Everyone present could understand what Emperor Chongzhen said.

However, just because they understand the concept of every minute, they are dumbfounded!

How is it possible to shoot about five hundred rounds per minute?

In the past, shooting twice or three times a minute was the normal rate of fire.If you say that you want to double, or double, or even five times, they will still think that with the help of Gephysics, it is not scary to have this improvement.

Therefore, although they were surprised by the invention of the Shenwei Rifle-A and the firing speed of the breech-loading gun, they were not beyond their imagination.

However, now that Emperor Chongzhen said that this multi-barreled gun can shoot up to [-] rounds per minute, they couldn't figure it out. How could it be so fast?

No, even Sun Chuanting raised doubts in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, the rate of fire of this gun is fifty rounds per minute, right?"

He suspected that Emperor Chongzhen made a slip of the tongue and said fifty rounds instead of five hundred rounds.

The others listened and looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and they all agreed with Shoufu's statement in their hearts.

But even so, they still find it a bit unbelievable, fifty rounds per minute, what kind of concept is this!
However, after Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled lightly and said, "I'm not wrong. The rate of fire of this gun is about [-] rounds per minute. In fact, this rate of fire is not high. In a few years Afterwards, this rate of fire can be increased to at least [-] rounds per minute!"

"..." When Sun Chuanting and the others heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Emperor Chongzhen made it very clear that he never made a slip of the tongue.

This made it impossible for all of them to imagine, five hundred rounds, and two thousand rounds?

Why do you feel that this is bragging and not drafting? How can people be so fast?
Thinking of this, Wang Chengen opened his mouth and said: "Long Live Lord, is this musket used by a fairy in the sky?"

A person's hand speed is absolutely impossible to be so fast, but if it is a god, maybe there is such a fast operation to load the bullet!
Emperor Chongzhen originally maintained his demeanor lightly, but he couldn't hold back when he heard his words, and immediately burst out laughing.

Let the gods in the sky use this musket, I really want to die laughing!
