Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

The main reason why the 107 rocket launcher can fly stably and fly far is the jet port at the tail.

Liu Wu is not too clear about the specific design, but it is still feasible to explain the general principle with a reason and make a suggestion.

At least one thing is that whether the research institute approves it or not, it will conduct experiments according to what he said.

As long as the stability can be proven, the results will naturally come out.

"Besides these, is there anything else?"

After Liu Wu roughly explained the structure of 107, he asked out of curiosity.

"Have!"

The researcher nodded again, "We have other weapons."

"have a look!"

At Liu Wu's request, the group went to see the new weapons.

This was a room. Liu Wu was very curious about what kind of weapon it was, but when he entered, he was surprised.

Because there are many iron pipes placed in the room, which are somewhat similar to the guns of later generations. Of course, the structure is very simple.

Just when he was curious, the researcher stepped forward and picked up a "gun", let's call it that.

This thing is similar in shape to a three-eyed gun, but it does not have three eyes, but a long wooden handle with a large iron head.

Just listen to the researcher say: "This thing is an idea we came up with after building the iron throwing device."

"Although the iron throwing weapon is not powerful enough and the effect is not good, since it can hit an iron egg thousands of steps away, then if you shrink it a little, it can also be used as a crossbow."

"Furthermore, although this iron throwing weapon is said to be weak against large battle formations, this does not mean that it is weak against individual soldiers!"

"With this idea in mind, this smaller iron thrower was developed."

"Look..." the researcher pointed at the iron head and said: "This is our first generation iron throwing device. It can be preloaded with gunpowder. After it is fired at the enemy, it can be used as a hammer to smash it. "

"It's a pity that this thing is not powerful enough. It can barely be used within twenty steps. If it is further away, the power is less, and Tiezi will not know where he will fly."

Liu Wu nodded. As for the firegun, it's not like this without a rifle.

Moreover, the so-called queuing to shoot in the previous life meant that the firearms and bullets did not know where they would fly, so they had to crowd people and rely on high-density shooting to ensure the effect.

With this, the soldiers in the front row may not fall down after several rounds.

There was no way, I was so lucky that the bullets were avoided.

Obviously, this is a failure, so the researcher did not say too much, but introduced it as such.

The weapons after this became more and more similar in shape to a matchlock.

"The problem with this small iron thrower is really too big, and its technology is far less easy to manufacture than the large iron thrower."

"Let's talk about this iron pipe. We have tested it. Iron sheets are not enough. Steel is enough. Even so, it is easy to explode in the hand and harm the user."

"To this end, we thickened the iron wall, but what followed was that the weapons became heavier."

"Not only that, this kind of weapon has many problems. The gunpowder is easy to get wet, the match rope is easy to get wet, it cannot be used in rainy days, the hammered iron flies around, it cannot be loaded and fired quickly, and most importantly, it cannot be manufactured in large quantities."

"Although we can predict that this thing will be able to replace the crossbow in the future, but now...hey...!"

After the researcher finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously, they have encountered a bottleneck, and these technologies are not easy to break through.

Until finally, he came to a musket with a match rope and a trigger.

Liu Wu's eyes narrowed and he stared at the firearm.

At this time, the researcher sighed louder.

The researcher picked up the gun and handed it to Liu Wu, "Dajijiu, this iron thrower is our latest development."

"We learned from the good points of previous weapons and then made bold changes."

"Look, this hole is used to place a match rope, which means it can be fired with a match rope."

As he spoke, he pointed to a protruding part next to the gun.

"Look at this again, we were thinking about how it could happen without using a match rope, so we thought of using flint instead of a match rope."

"You see, all we have to do is pour the gunpowder here, pull the trigger, and the flint will hit hard and ignite the gunpowder."

"The ignited gunpowder will also spread into the iron pipe and ignite the gunpowder inside, so that it can be fired instead of a match rope."

"The reason why the match rope was left behind was because we found that the flint could not ignite the gunpowder every time, so we left the match rope as a backup."

Liu Wu nodded. He often heard about flintlock guns in his previous life, but he really didn't know how the flintlock gun was fired, how it was constructed, or what it looked like.

But now it seems that this thing should be similar to a flintlock gun.

"Then how powerful is he?"

Liu Wu weighed it and felt that the gun was not too heavy. It was obvious that the manufacturing process had changed.

The researcher shook his head, "It still doesn't work. Although the power has increased, I still don't know where it will fly if it exceeds twenty steps."

As he spoke, the researcher scratched his head and said, "We found that extending the iron pipe can increase the accuracy, but it won't work if it is too long. We are now stuck here."

"The other thing is that the forging process has improved. From the initial cast iron, the thickness needed to be increased at that time; to rolling steel, the thickness has been reduced a lot, but the whole thing is still too heavy."

"It's different now. We have two methods. One is to cast it directly into a steel pipe during casting, and the second is to cast it into a steel rod and drill holes in it."

"But now the best and faster production method is cast steel pipes. The drilling technology is too difficult and too slow."

"But in any case, this type of technology reduces the thickness of the steel pipe and reduces the weight."

"Unfortunately, the accuracy is not good, forging is difficult, and large-scale application is far away."

What the researcher said was true. Liu Wu thought about it and reminded:

"Have you ever thought about carving lines into these steel pipes? Do you think this will increase the shooting distance and accuracy?"

Liu Wu was seen gesturing on the barrel of the gun, which was the rough outline of the rifling in his memory.

But the researcher shook his head, "This won't be good. We found that the farther we wanted to shoot was because of the sealing problem. You see..."

I saw the researcher take out two types of ammunition from the box next to him and put them in Liu Wu's hands.

"This one is made of lead. It can hit farther, but it can't penetrate the heavy armor at all."

"This one is made of iron. Although it has a chance of breaking through the heavy armor, the seal is not tight and the shooting distance is too close."

"And if these lines are carved, the air leakage will theoretically be more serious, and the effect may be worse!"

Liu Wu was thoughtful. He didn't know if this would affect it. He just said: "Try it, if it works!"

The researcher nodded, "I will arrange for someone to test it!"

Liu Wu also nodded and did not force the order. Instead, he focused on the oil paper package in the box.

"By the way, what is the paper package in this box?"

The researcher explained, "This paper bag contains gunpowder. To prevent gunpowder, we wrapped it in oil paper."

"In addition," the researcher picked up a paper bag and said, "the gunpowder in these paper bags has been strictly weighed, so that you can know how much gunpowder is contained in the iron throwing device."

"And because it is wrapped in oil paper, it is difficult to get wet, and it is also easy to tear quickly for reloading during battle."

Liu Wu: "??????"

By the way, can this thing be called fixed gunpowder?

This touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

Vaguely, he seemed to be lagging far behind.
