Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 939 Died on the spot
Wang Chengen was actually very proud of being able to make Emperor Chongzhen laugh no matter what method he used, and he didn't care about his ignorance or saying something wrong.

At this time, he saw that Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, so he also laughed, but not exaggeratedly, just the right kind.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a very good mood after laughing, with a smile on his face, he pointed to the handle on the gun and said: "See, that handle, just shake the handle and turn it around, and the gun can reload by itself And back shell, one circle is six rounds!"

Upon hearing this, officials including Sun Chuanting and other military-savvy officials all stared at the handle with shock and surprise on their faces.They can't imagine why the automatic loading and ejection of the bullet can be achieved by shaking the handle. How is this done?
Emperor Chongzhen was obviously very talkative, he waved his hand, and the steward of the arsenal who was waiting on the side immediately understood what he meant, and immediately took something out of the car and presented it to him with both hands.

After Emperor Chongzhen took it, he showed it to his courtiers, and said with a smile: "This is related to our latest achievement in Ming Dynasty, and this is it."

When everyone heard the sound and stared at it, they were immediately surprised again.They recognized that thing, isn't it similar to a paper shell bullet, but the bullet in the emperor's hand is made of metal, like a copper shell?

"Paper shell bullets have shortcomings such as gunpowder and gas leakage!" After showing the metal bullets in his hands, Emperor Chongzhen signaled the manager of the arsenal to give each of them a bullet, and then he continued to explain, "Therefore, in the Heavenly Court Under the guidance, I switched to this kind of metal bullet, Zhu Qing can see, this bullet can perfectly solve the shortcomings of paper shell bullets."

Lei Mercury had been invented before Liu Weichao's court intervened.After the intervention, according to the opinions of the experts there, after a year, the metal bullets were finally able to be produced. Otherwise, if the bullets were not sufficiently supplied, the machine gun would not have much meaning in existence!

Sun Chuanting and the others held metal bullets in their hands, observed carefully, and then went to look at the multi-barreled musket and the handle. In fact, they still couldn’t figure it out. This machine gun can produce hundreds of rounds per minute just by turning the handle. rate of fire?
Anyway, just thinking about it like this, I always feel incredible!

Seeing their expressions, Emperor Chongzhen smiled immediately, and then explained to them: "The shooter rotates the barrels evenly arranged along the circumference by shaking the crank, and the chambers filled with ammunition enter each gun from the ammunition hopper. in a locking slot on the back of the barrel. When the barrel is rotated to a certain position, the firing pin fires the round..."

Although he did explain in detail, including Sun Chuanting, he was still confused.Anyway, it sounds like that is indeed the case, but after thinking about it carefully, I still can't figure out what is going on.

At this time, Sun Chuanting had a feeling that he could understand and explain the things created by Gewuxue before Tianting discovered it; however, after Tianting discovered it, he felt uncomfortable with the new content of Gewuxue understood!

Ah, I'm getting old, if I want to keep up with this era and understand what the emperor said, it seems that I have to make up for my knowledge of Geology later!

He naturally didn't know, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen himself half understood.To be more precise, he was actually just reciting.

Perhaps he was afraid of being right, and being asked questions that he could not explain by these courtiers, so he quickly said to these courtiers: "It is better to see the actual situation, which is the most effective way." Convincing. Then, let us see how powerful this cavalry nemesis is!"

After speaking, he took these senior officials of Ming Dynasty to the corresponding bunker, which was safe enough, and there were high-power telescopes to observe the test site.

The three soldiers on the side of the arsenal, of course, had been trained in advance. They first went to Emperor Chongzhen's side to salute, and then returned to the side of the car and entered the compartment from the rear.

Sun Chuanting and the others were all holding binoculars and staring at the car motionlessly, looking forward to the performance of this car, to see if it could achieve the effect that the emperor said.

At the same time as the sound of the engine sounded, smoke came out, and then the car started to move.

From the side of the bunker, you can see the side of the car. After the car started, it really started to move and move forward.The road conditions in front of it are all deliberately designed, not to mention the potholes, and there are many muddy fields. If an ordinary carriage passes through this kind of place, no matter whether it is those potholes or muddy fields, the carriage may break down.

However, Sun Chuanting and others were surprised to find that this cavalry nemesis was advancing easily as if it was on a smooth road, and it didn't look like it was unable to move at all.

Sure enough, as the emperor said, this strange wheel is suitable for various road conditions!

When the car passed a red signal pole inserted into the ground, suddenly, Sun Chuanting and others saw that there seemed to be flames erupting from the head of the car, and immediately after that, they heard "da da da..." the sound of.

At this moment, Ni Yuanlu suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Look at the target ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Chuanting quickly moved the binoculars and looked at a row of human-shaped targets that had already been erected in front of the car, and saw many small holes appearing on them at a very fast speed.Needless to say, it was hit by a bullet.

The speed at which this small hole appeared can definitely prove that the fast rate of fire that Emperor Chongzhen said before is true!

Seeing this scene, Sun Chuanting and others were stunned.

They have already imagined this scene in their minds: the enemy's cavalry is charging on the opposite side, but when encountering this kind of cavalry nemesis, the enemy's cavalry is considered a heavy cavalry.

If it is shot with a bow and arrow, and even if it is shot with a lance, it will not be able to break through the defense of this kind of car. On the contrary, with such a fast-firing musket, no matter whether it is a man or a horse, it is estimated that they will die on the spot!
What's more, if you face the enemy's infantry, let alone, no matter how many people there are, under the fire of such a fast-firing musket, it will only be like harvesting wheat, harvesting them in pieces!

Don't say this is the nemesis of the cavalry, it can be said that it is the terminator of the battlefield!

Thinking of this conclusion, Sun Chuanting and the others became excited immediately.If Daming had invented this good thing earlier, there would be no such thing as Jianlu invincibility!
It's really a pity that when Jianlu was the most arrogant, he couldn't invent such a good thing, otherwise, let Jianlu taste the taste of despair, what is it like!
He naturally didn't know that if Liu Weichao's court hadn't intervened, it would have been impossible to invent this kind of car at this time.After all, many parts of this car are epoch-making inventions, at least for this plane.

Thanks to the experts on that plane, they were able to transform their appropriate technological methods according to Da Ming's current scientific level.According to Liu Weichao, there is a tradition. Those real experts back then invented various state-of-the-art good things under the simplest conditions.

Of course Emperor Chongzhen knew about these things, so he was very grateful in his heart.

But if you want to say sorry, he actually has some.

This kind of strange car, the nemesis of cavalry and the terminator of the battlefield, is very powerful in the eyes of Sun Chuanting and others, but in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it is not as good as the tanks of Liu Weichao's era.

Due to the constraints of the times, given the current technological level of Ming Dynasty, the experts there suggested that there is no need to install artillery on the car, and a Gatling machine gun can already sweep the world.If something like an armored vehicle needs to be equipped with artillery, the performance of the engine will be greatly reduced. After all, it will add more weight, which is too heavy!
The cavalry nemesis in the distance stopped after performing various operations, and then, there was an artillery simulation to bombard this strange car.

Sure enough, as Emperor Chongzhen said, after the iron bullet hit the car, it would slide away, and basically no trace left by the iron bullet could be seen.Both front and side.

After the shelling ended, the car continued to drive and stopped back to its original place.Then the three soldiers who went in before got out from the back door and stood in line beside the car.

So, Emperor Chongzhen took them to the side of the car again, and asked Sun Chuanting and others to take a closer look at what the car looked like after the actual battle.

They looked around the car, and even Sun Chuanting got into the car to experience it for himself, then turned out, and said with great emotion: "Your Majesty, this kind of big killer is really not something that can be found in the world, it is too powerful !"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen responded with a smile, but did not speak.

The other courtiers also praised the power of this car, invincible!

One can imagine what it will be like once this car appears on the battlefield!
Now the news from overseas said that European countries are all uniting and trying to fight against Daming, hehe, when the time comes, let them taste the power of Daming's iron fist!
However, Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, also pointed out a shortcoming, and he smiled wryly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, once this car is used, it will cost a lot of money, right?"

When the bullet was shot, it was like running water. It was all money!

Hearing his words, other Ming officials burst into laughter!

But what Ni Yuanlu said was actually a joke.Today's Daming regards the world's minerals as its minerals, whether it is copper or iron, there is no shortage, the advanced level of smelting, and the development of transportation have reduced all costs to a very low level.

Besides, being able to destroy the opponent in one battle is a matter of saving money in itself!

Emperor Chongzhen waited for them to finish laughing, then smiled again and said, "I will show you another new invention!"
