Of course, the reason why we chose grenades is still very simple.
It is very simple to make and has the lowest production process requirements among all modern weapons - as long as your requirements are not so high.
The grenade consists of just a few simple parts.
The most basic and simple grenade only needs a cast iron warhead, the cavity inside is filled with the simplest black powder, and a wooden handle is placed behind it. A hole is drilled in the wooden handle with a small hand drill, and firecrackers wrapped in several layers of thick paper are installed inside. Twist the medicine, add a friction ignition tube, and it's ready.
Do not laugh.
In 1938, our border area was producing this type of grenade.
Look!
It¡¯s that simple.
?Compared to bullet shells with precise shapes that require machine tools and pouring processes, grenades are so simple and unpretentious.
But as a Ph.D. in physics and chemistry, Liu Mingqi definitely can¡¯t make such a simple grenade.
The reason is not that it is beautiful, but that this most primitive grenade is too weak and very dangerous to use. For a while, it was nicknamed the "open hand grenade" - it explodes before it can be thrown.
The reason is very simple. The artificially twisted delayed fuse is not accurate enough and there are some gaps in it. When burning, sparks may directly splash into the middle of the fuse, so the burning speed is accelerated, causing the grenade to explode as soon as it is released. .
Fortunately, its power is small, and it usually results in disability. Perhaps this is also a kind of black humor.
Liu Mingqi doesn¡¯t know how to twist firecrackers, so he just uses detonators.
By making picric acid bombs, the fifty core teenagers have become familiar with making detonators. As long as Liu Mingqi provides the size and specifications of the detonators required for the hand grenade, they will soon be able to make thousands of detonators.
It¡¯s a pity that they, like Miao Xiuxiu, are under protected surveillance and have all returned to the capital. Otherwise, it would be much more convenient for them to stay with Liu Mingqi.
But that doesn¡¯t matter. It¡¯s the flood season now and the Grand Canal is particularly smooth. If it¡¯s urgent, it can be delivered to Liu Mingqi in ten days.
Including the contact and production period, twenty days is enough.
Here the young man also has to thank himself.
Thank you for using the size standards of millimeters, centimeters, decimeters, and meters from the beginning. Everything produced in this way has precise dimensions, so you don¡¯t have to worry about unevenness.
Of course it¡¯s not just the detonator that needs to be changed.
As mentioned before, even if it is a "hand grenade", most of the time it only injures one's own people. The reason is that the black powder is too rough and not powerful enough.
So Liu Mingqi will use more accurate black powder and some refined picric acid explosives. This is perfect.
In terms of the shape of the grenade, Liu Mingqi chose the most classic generation of grenade-m24, which is the wooden-handled grenade that is often seen in magic movies and can be swung to hit people.
Although the M24 is much larger than the sweet potato grenade, when this kind of explosive is not very accurate and not too powerful, the wooden handle grenade contains 100 grams of black powder and picric acid explosive, which can be more powerful. Great lethality.
And there¡¯s one more thing.
Grenade has two explosive forms.
One type is a trigger-type explosion, which is our common sweet potato grenade. It explodes when it hits the ground.
Before this, there was another type, the fuse delay grenade, which is a wooden handle grenade. It uses a fuse to delay the grenade and delays it for a few seconds before exploding.
But this delay has its drawbacks.
If the delay is too long and the enemy is knowledgeable, it is possible to throw it back and blow yourself up - this scene on TV is all true.
So the polar bear is only set to three seconds, which is a bit heart-beating.
Liu Mingqi is still prepared to use the usual six-second delay, which makes sense considering the distance required for throwing in ancient combat and the familiarity of everyone with wooden-handled grenades in the first round.
This lead delay is easy to handle. After a few experiments, you can accurately measure and then perform large-scale filling operations.
As for how to make a cylindrical iron bullet case and a wooden handle, it is also very simple.
When our army was in the 1940s, workers in the arsenal carried forward the spirit of creativity under difficult conditions and used a homemade pedal turning machine to process the wooden handle of a grenade. However, a wooden handle was tied to a bench. The bar is made into a simple lever, pressing the wooden handle and the cartridge case together.
Cowhide, right?
&One and a half breaths. "
Having said this, he smiled, "But because of this, the power will be even greater!"
The wooden-handled grenade exploded in mid-air, and shrapnel flew everywhere like a goddess scattering flowers.
Coupled with the downward acceleration force, this kind of killing power is several times stronger than falling on the ground.
The shrapnel flying from top to bottom is really different from the shrapnel flying on the ground.
Liu Mingqi felt at this time that it was time to start making clocks and pocket watches.
"Always using abstract times such as "one breath", "one stick of incense", "one pot of tea", etc. are too inaccurate and do not meet the standards of physical experiments at all.
I think back then, he disassembled and assembled hundreds of antique clocks, pocket watches and watches in the laboratory.
This job is not difficult.
After a pause, the young man said: "Now you follow me to make a few samples, and then urgently train the palace guards. When the raw materials arrive, you can ask them to fill them."
"good!"
Fang Lei nodded, "Don't worry, they can't know the ratio of gunpowder and picric acid powder. Mingyou and I will do this."
"Well, it's always safer to do it in separate steps. If this thing is leaked, it will be a disaster for us in Dakang!" Liu Mingyou also agreed.
Sensible!
Liu Mingqi showed a happy smile.
Even though these two hundred guards and their families are in Prince De¡¯s Palace and Prince Yu¡¯s Palace, the fewer people who know the secret, the better.
This is not only good for the palace, but also responsible for their own safety.
He doesn¡¯t want enemies outside the territory to start throwing wooden handle grenades against Dakang in the next seven, eight or ten years! !
That kind of scene is horrifying to think about! ! !
