Chapter 388 The Congreve Rocket
Gradually, the Huns on the side basically dissipated. There are countless black shadows in the jungle on both sides here. The most advanced technology in Qingzhou is concentrated here. From a distance, I can hear bursts of violent forging sounds, stabbing people. The ears are a little sore. From a distance, there is a row of steel machines by the river. The casting method is also an improvement of the famous lost wax method in ancient times. The lost wax method uses wax, but the modified casting method uses Wooden molds and sand are sand mold casting. In theory, he can make all imaginable things with this advanced fitter operation. Some fighter parts of later generations are still manually polished by advanced fitters.Even in later generations, human hands can surpass machines and machine tools. It is the hands of the eighth-level fitter who represent miracles that established the industry of the Celestial Dynasty.

The hydraulic power drives the hammers one by one. Driven by the simple belt on the side, the hammers are raised high and then smashed down. There are many things below, some are armor leaves of iron armor, some are gun barrels of firecrackers, or other things. It is a different improvement to use water to beat instead of manual sheet metal work.

Machinery can often achieve a level that manpower cannot achieve, and improve human efficiency. There are thousands of apprentices living here, and more than 200 craftsmen are developing day and night, or making firearms. They use these machines to play ten times, or even hundreds of times. Efficiency, the sound of mechanical forging makes people's ears a little uncomfortable. Manpower will eventually run out, but machines will not.

Mrs. Chu helped Xiao Chuan get off the horse. Xiao Chuan seemed a little embarrassed, especially in front of this group of loyal subordinates, but he was helpless. After coughing, he found that no one paid attention to him. Everyone was silent in this steel world, and they were completely intoxicated. In front of this group of steel machines.

"It's unbelievable that the drill can move by itself," Mi Heng said. He likes to be distracted. He is also concentrating on looking at the group of steel machines in front of him. Everyone doesn't understand why these machines can work like this. Xiao Chuan said: "There will be more shocking ones in a while!"

Walking up, old man Li and a group of blacksmiths appeared. He saw Xiao Chuan with pride in his eyes and talked about it. He understood the improvement here. There is no other improvement except for the air leakage problem of the Franc machine, which will not let the runner be accidentally burned to death, only the forging machines on these two sides.

"And this rocket." Old man Li brought Xiao Chuan and the others to a shooting range with a proud expression on his face. There were a few strange big guys parked here. The long shafts of the arrows were much longer than ordinary rockets. The gunpowder barrel at the back, about three meters long, is made of iron, and there are three spiral plates behind it. After seeing it, Xiao Chuan rang. He seemed to have summoned a team of British rocket troops.

This is an imitation version of the British Congreve rocket. This is a new type of rocket created by the United Kingdom by improving the rocket introduced from China to India. It is equipped with a balance bar that can be balanced, and there are three spiral plates that allow the rocket to launch. After that, it can be rotated, and the most important thing is the warhead of the flower bomb, but this thing can only be used on the navy, because there is no guarantee that the rocket will explode immediately when it falls to the ground.

""What is this, why does it look so huge?Mi Heng asked strangely, old man Li smiled triumphantly, and said: "This is one of the rockets prepared for the navy, it can explode when it falls on an enemy ship."

"It's so sharp!" Everyone didn't believe it, so the old man Li stepped forward to ignite the fuse of the rocket under the puzzled eyes of the crowd, and quickly backed away.

Search———With a piercing screaming sound, the rocket flew away quickly, and a white mist appeared behind. On the mountain in the distance, come over for a second——a violent explosion sounded, and a brilliant flame rose.

All the people were pale in disbelief, and their expressions were dull. Even if those craftsmen had seen a lot, they still showed a different kind of shock. Old man Li said: "These are all thanks to the young master. We can't make such a sharp weapon out of the rockets that come."

"Such a sharp rocket can be used in the navy," Xiao Chuan said. It would be embarrassing if the explosive bomb in front of the land warfare rocket fell on the ground without exploding. Two seconds is enough time for nearby people to escape to a safe distance, and It is also very inconvenient to carry such a large rocket.It is easy only for mariners.

"That's right, lord, when we load the medicine, we always fill it with the same amount, and he flies smoothly. If you are skilled in this, you can control his range error within a very small range." Old Man Li said, and then said: "But It is inconvenient to make this thing because of its large size and the fact that its sprayed concrete is made of iron. We can only make 1000 pieces a month, and we have only made more than [-] pieces in the past few months."

"It's a pity that the output of such a sharp weapon is not high." Everyone sighed and secretly thought it was a pity. However, Xiaochuan thought about how this thing would be able to suppress the firepower of Zheng Zhilong's big ship. How effective would it be to attack a small fire ship with a sea of ​​people?I am afraid that I can directly avoid the opponent's small boat and attack the opponent's big ship.

Another fire dragon came out of the water. This is the prototype of a second-level rocket. The huge body is exquisitely carved. After being ignited, a thick white mist covered the scene in front of him. He quickly flew towards the sky, and the water Zhan' can ignite a fire three or four feet away from the water, that is, fly two or three miles away from the water surface, just like a fire dragon coming out of the river.This is the record of the rocket in the history books of the late Ming Dynasty, and it was also a weapon that shone brilliantly in the Luliang naval battle at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

This not only reminded Xiaochuan of a foreign program that made a Chinese rocket in later generations, but turned out to be something completely similar to a toy. I don’t know which country’s history books they read said that this was the fire dragon coming out of the water in the Ming Dynasty, and then A wave of black, just like Western philosophy, the Chinese say that Tao produces one, and one life two, which means that rules give birth to consciousness and matter are both yin and yang, but foreigners say that we are idealists, thinking that consciousness first appears, which is also puzzling. High school philosophy books For taking ancient Chinese philosophy out of context or simply labeling it indiscriminately, it is exactly the same as their method of blacking Ming Dynasty rockets.

The rocket flew forward with an upward slanting angle, and a burst of smoke and dust was raised on the ground. The white mist covered the ground. After the propelled rocket was burned, thousands of magic arrows flew out of it. According to historical records, he It is roughly equivalent to letting the magic machine arrow go forward for a distance of one mile to launch, and burn the enemy ship through the flame tail of the rocket.

"So sharp!" Everyone was shocked, expressing their inner shock at the sharp firearm that can shoot so far.

　The writing of this chapter reminds me of the attack of western philosophy on some Chinese theories in the philosophy book in the political class of high school. Shadow, this kind of yin and yang thinking has evolved into a Chinese culture that combines hardness and softness, but Western philosophy has repeatedly misinterpreted culture first and then criticized it, just like yin and yang are said to be idealism. If so, what the ancients said should be It is yin that produces yang, not Tao that produces yin and yang.The later criticism of Wang Yangming's theory of mind is even more puzzling, making people feel that those who criticized Wang Yangming's theory of mind seem to have no ability to translate classical Chinese.
