Chapter 907 Gunpowder Research and Development

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After giving Michelle Ye a one-month long vacation, it is of course impossible to stop the follow-up research on gunpowder.

    Luo Ji handed Zhao Lei the recipe copied from the wall.

    With the minister so out of touch, Zhao Lei has been the deputy minister for so many years, and he is obviously very stable in doing things.

    It is obviously impossible to put this gunpowder formula into production immediately.

    Although the power of that explosion has already been seen once.

    But if you want to deploy in large quantities, you need more detailed data and a stable success rate.

    It is not appropriate to leave this kind of thing to Zhao Lei.

    Of course, in order to avoid disturbing the people caused by the occasional explosions, Luo Ji temporarily moved the test site of the Ordnance Research Department outside the city.

    Then time flew by, and a month later, Michelle Ye, who was 'released after serving her sentence', resolutely approached Luo Ji with resentment all over her body.

    "Your Majesty, where is my reward?"

    Luo Ji decisively rolled his eyes at this.

    "The office building of the Ordnance Research Department was blown up by you, and it is still being rebuilt. How dare you come to ask me for a reward?"

    When Michelle Ye heard this, a guilty conscience flashed across her face.

    Then he quickly shook his head vigorously, playing tricks.

    "I don't care! Your Majesty, you said that as long as I research the formula of gunpowder, you will give me a new weapon design! I have researched it now, give it to me, give it to me"

    Looking at Michelle Ye who was standing below, who was almost rolling all over the floor, Luo Ji suddenly felt his head hurt a little.

    At the same time, during the one-month long vacation for Michelle Ye, under Zhao Lei's full supervision, the stable formula of gunpowder has indeed been worked out.

    In the current situation, the research on weapons and equipment should catch up quickly.

    Thinking of this, Luo Ji sighed heavily.

    Then he took out a thick stack of design drawings that he had prepared earlier.

    This stack of design drawings is exactly the design drawing of the gold-level stone-shooting cannon that he opened from the golden treasure chest before.

    Seeing the blueprints, Michelle Ye was like a cat smelling fish, both eyes were shining, and she rushed up to take the blueprints away.

    Thanks to Luo Ji's sharp eyes and quick hands, he quickly lifted the design drawing in his hand above his head, and while avoiding Xuan Ye's grab, he said with a smile on his face

    "Let's agree first, if you make any trouble this time, I will give you a three-month long vacation, understand?"

    Listening to Luo Ji's three-month 'long vacation', Michelle Ye's entire face turned pale decisively.

    "Your Majesty, are you a devil?"

    "Did you hear that?"

    "Well, I heard that."

    "take it."

    While speaking, Luo Ji handed over the stack of blueprints he held in his hand to Xuan Ye.

    Michelle Ye, who took the blueprints, naturally flipped through them on the spot.

    On the design drawing, the shape of the stone shooting cannon is undoubtedly novel to her.

    After flipping through two pages, Michelle Ye couldn't help asking

    "Your Majesty, is this an upgraded version of the bed crossbow?"

    Hearing this, Luo Ji raised his brows slightly, it was really fortunate that Michelle Ye could see the shadow of the bed crossbow from the stone shooting cannon.

    However, this statement is not entirely correct.

    "If you insist, it should be a weapon that combines the characteristics of a bed crossbow and a catapult."

    The positioning of the bed crossbow and the catapult itself is equivalent to the ancient siege cannon.

    The characteristic of bed crossbow is penetration force.

    The characteristic of the catapult is the destructive power of bludgeoning.

    However, the cannon combines these two characteristics at the same time.

    However, Luo Ji didn't have high expectations for the stone-shooting cannon at all.

    At best, this is the key to let his civilization of myriad worlds step into the threshold of 'firearms'.

    It has been said before that the range of the stone shooting cannon is not as good as the three-bow bed crossbow and the return cannon.

    At the same time, the accuracy is quite poor.

    Rather than making a large number of stone-shooting cannons, it would be better for him to continue to use three-bow bed crossbows and return cannons.

    But after that, Luo Ji quickly figured out one thing.

    What he opened was indeed the design drawing of the stone shooting cannon.

    But there is no rule that he can only make stone cannons!

    He is a majestic modern person, so why can't he improve on this basis?

    earlyThe cannons of ?? are collectively referred to as smoothbore guns.

    The origin of this name is because the inside of the barrel is smooth.

    Stone shot guns are obviously also included in the category of smoothbore guns.

    The common problem of smoothbore guns is that they have a short range and poor accuracy.

    But Luo Ji can improve on this point.

    Taking the design drawing of the stone-shooting gun as a blueprint, wouldn't it be enough to directly improve it into a rifled gun?

    The biggest feature of the rifled gun is the rifling engraved on the inside of the barrel.

    Therefore, when the cannon is fired, the flying shells will rotate along the trajectory of the inner rifling.

    So that the unstable shell can achieve the effect of stable flight.

    At the same time, the range and accuracy of the cannon have been significantly improved!

    Of course, if you want to manufacture the barrel of a rifled gun, there are quite high requirements on the manufacturing process and technical skills.

    There is also the structure of the entire gun body. Due to changes in the way the gun is fired, the entire structure has to be changed.

    However, Luo Ji was fearless, he possessed both human and goblin technology and technological power, and Ye Xuan, a top-level ordnance master.

    Can this matter still trouble him?

    While thinking about it, Luo Ji directly referred to the design drawing and gave a simple explanation to Michelle Ye.

    "This part is called the barrel, this is the shell, and the part inside is used to fill the gunpowder."

    "However, on this design drawing, I missed one point before. The internal design of the barrel will cause the accuracy and range of the shells to become too poor, so"

    While speaking, Luo Ji quickly took out a blueprint on his desk.

    That blueprint was obviously drawn by Luo Ji himself. The main content is the internal structure of the rifled gun, and some of his ideas for the modification of the overall structure.

    However, the structural design diagram of the cannon is sensitive information after all, and there is really not much information that can be found. To this point, he obviously tried his best. Can he make the rifled cannon based on the limited information and ideas he provided?  It all depends on the ability of Michelle Ye, a master of ordnance.

    Michelle Ye who took the blueprint quickly flipped through it.

    "It turns out that if such trajectories are made on the inside of the barrel in advance, the shells will naturally rotate along these trajectories when they fly out, and the high-speed rotating shells will become more stable."

    While talking, Michelle Ye who looked excited couldn't help stretching out her hand to gesture.

    "This looks like a very simple design, but it can effectively increase the range and accuracy of the shells. Your Majesty, you are really amazing, you can come up with such a design!"

    ""

    "However, I think that if we want to do this, the shape of the cannonball should also be slightly changed. It is best to have the corresponding trajectory on the surface, so that the effect can be better. How about a tapered one?"

    ""

    "There is also this structure here. I always feel that something is wrong. Your Majesty, what do you think?"

    ""

    Terrible, is this the difference between a top genius and a mortal?
