Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Liu Wu left the naval camp and came to the research institute again.

"Huang Biehe, how is the recent research on various weapons?"

Huang Biehe received Liu Wu and reported to him the results of this period.

The first is the issue of battleships of the Navy and the Navy. Because of the different technologies, the battleships of the Navy and the Navy are still a problem.

However, in order to cope with the battle that may occur at any time, the transformation plan of the naval warship has already begun.

First of all, according to what Huang Biehe said, the research institute has now developed a new bed crossbow.

Compared with the three-bow bed crossbow, this kind of bed crossbow has a shorter range, which is only one thousand steps. Likewise, its shooting accuracy is far inferior to the three-bow bed crossbow.

But it has one thing that the three-bow bed crossbow cannot compare with, that is, it can fire six arrows at one time, and the loading speed is not slow, which is enough to replace the situation where the gunpowder problem is insufficient.

Not only that, this transformation plan also plans to install a hammer on the battleship.

The so-called hammer is actually a racket pole with a huge stone on the top.

Then raise it up and fix it, and when the enemy's warship approaches, slam it down hard to smash or break the enemy's warship.

In other words, wooden warships should try their best to avoid gang wars at this stage, and try to clear out local fireships as much as possible to break out of the encirclement.

According to the design, there is one hammer at the bow and one at the stern, and two on each side of the hull. There are a total of six hammers in a ship.

In this way, the current ship modification will be convenient, and the combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

Liu Wu looked at the design drawings, but with his limited skills, he could see that one was quite useful, and then asked about the development of rocket launchers and explosives.

Regarding Liu Wu's question, Huang Biehe first answered the rocket launcher question.

That is, today's rocket launchers have been completely finalized after many modifications. Depending on their models, their distance and power are also different, and they can be targeted at the enemy with purpose.

Among them, the farthest rocket launcher can hit five miles.

Theoretically, a rocket launcher can fire twelve rockets at once, which is enough to complete the coverage strike on the target. This can be regarded as a precision strike.

In addition, the misfire rate has been greatly reduced. At least the situation where eight misfires occurred after firing 24 rockets in the first actual combat will not occur again. At this stage, there are only about three misfires among the 24 rockets, which is a huge problem. progress.

At the same time, the institute has also designed a new type of rocket launcher with a warhead charge of [-] kilograms and a range of between [-] and [-] steps. It is intended to replace the bulky trebuchet.

And according to the current combat needs of the Han Army, the demand for this model will be the largest in the future.

Regarding these, Liu Wu also did not make much statement. He just let the Shenji Battalion use the training first. The actual combat effect will depend on the future.

As for the new explosives, there is currently no progress.

However, the issues that Liu Wu was concerned about, such as the manufacture of steam engines and armored weapons, have been completely solved at this stage, and it will be enough to complete the entire equipment of the 33-strong army by the end of the year.

But again, Huang Biehe hesitated and asked a question.

"What's the matter, tell me!"

Huang Biehe said: "The problem that restricts our research and production at this stage is insufficient ore!"

With that said, Huang Biehe reported on the problems encountered at this stage. Generally speaking, the amount of iron used has increased significantly, but the iron obtained through purchasing and mining ores and various means is barely enough.

This has resulted in a lot of research being done on paper and cannot be applied in practice.

Not only that, the massive shortage of iron has led to a significant reduction in agricultural iron use by the militia and the people, and agricultural production and development will be in big trouble.

"what do you mean?"

Liu Wu looked at Huang Biehe who looked hesitant, and probably knew that he had an idea.

Huang Biehe gritted his teeth and said, "I suggest using explosives to mine the ore."

Regarding what Huang Biehe said, Liu Wu frowned. Didn't he not know that explosives were used for mining? Is it just black explosives?

Just thinking about the shortage of resources, he hesitated and said:

"Okay, you can give it a try, but you must make sure the explosives don't get lost."

"By the way, there is no harm in taking the Shenji Battalion with you when you use it, so that they can also learn from it."

"Also, large-scale production of explosives is very difficult. We must pay attention to this and not affect the use of the army!"

Huang Biehe nodded excitedly, patting his chest in assurance.

After finishing these things, Liu Wu suddenly remembered something.

"Wait, here's something for you to see!"

As he spoke, Liu Wu picked up the box next to him, opened it, and took out something wrapped in a golden coil. It had no beauty at all.

Huang Biehe was very curious, but before he could ask any questions, he saw Liu Wu quickly turning the handle, and soon his eyes were so wide that they almost fell out of their sockets.

because,

He saw electricity!

"This, this, this, is electricity?"

Liu Wu nodded, "Yes, this is electricity. Tell me what is going on? Why did I shake the electricity out of the sky?"

Huang Biehe: "......"

You asked me if you made it?

How would I know?
