Today the students were taken to the workshop, and everyone had to learn to use molds to make lead bullets.
The large mold is very heavy, so the younger students work in pairs to melt the lead first and then pour it.
After the mold is opened, there are lead bullets with threaded patterns. The tails of these lead bullets are hollow, and a small conical piece of wood must be installed inside.
Fang Xing picked up a lead bullet and loaded it into the musket, and introduced: "Gunpowder deflagrates in the barrel, expands the air, and pushes the wood forward. The tail of the hollow lead bullet will expand, which allows the lead bullet to contact the barrel of the gun. The gap is smaller, the range is longer, and the accuracy is higher"
"Okay, take a look at these molds for yourselves and think about the composition of the molds."
This kind of bullet is actually prepared for rifled guns. The problem of rifling has been solved long ago. It can be rotated with a simple stick knife.
It¡¯s just that this processing method is time-consuming, so Fang Xing first prepared to build a sniper force.
Once the class was over, Fang Xing took the students to the military camp.
Zhu Zhanji has arrived and is talking with Zhu Fang beside a bronze cannon.
Seeing Fang waking up, Zhu Zhanji asked curiously: "Brother Dehua, what is the name of this thing?"
"Cannon, artillery!"
Fang Xing called the students over and asked Zhu Fang to introduce the artillery.
"This is a bronze-cast artillery, with a caliber of 90 millimeters, a barrel length of 1.5 meters, not counting the frame, and a total weight of 382 kilograms. It fires iron bullets."
Zhu Fang patted the cast iron gun mount and said: "The gun body is fixed on the gun mount and connected to the frame. This not only buffers the recoil of the launch, but also facilitates towing. It only takes one horse to drag it. In an emergency Manual dragging is no problem.¡±
The students all touched the cannon curiously and took turns asking Zhu Fang some questions about its specific construction, range and lethality.
"Brother Dehua, how about we give it a try?"
Zhu Zhanji could not restrain his curiosity and wanted to test the power of an artillery piece.
Just give it a try!
Fang Xing asked people to place multiple human-shaped targets in the distance, and they were placed very densely.
"Everyone get out of the way!"
A team of gunners specializing in testing artillery arrived. After saluting, they skillfully turned the muzzle and then charged it.
Finally, an iron bullet was loaded into it.
Fang Xing introduced to Zhu Zhanji: "Ours is a fixed charge, and the target can be achieved by adjusting the angle of the muzzle."
A fuse was inserted into the medicine bag from the fire door, the gunner ignited it with a red-hot thin iron rod, and thenwait!
The fuse sizzled and burned, then ignited the medicine bag.
"Boom!"
The iron ball was pushed out of the muzzle and flew directly out.
Everyone followed the trajectory of the cannonball and gradually raised their heads, then lowered their heads, and then watched it crash into the target.
There was a crackling sound, and those wooden targets seemed to have encountered a prehistoric monster. They were hit by iron bullets, causing sawdust to fly everywhere.
¡°Bang!¡±
After a muffled sound, the iron bullet that made a path in the target fell to the ground, and then bounced up again.
"This is a secondary kill."
Just as Fang Xing was speaking, the bounced iron bullets once again destroyed a target array, and finally penetrated the target array. After losing power, the violent performance slowly stopped.
Zhu Zhanji opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
The students and teachers were even more unbearable. Some of them were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they relied on grabbing the people around them to avoid making a fool of themselves.
"Let's go and see the effect."
Fang Xing smiled and invited Zhu Zhanji to see the lethality of the artillery.
When he arrived at the target array and saw the targets destroyed by iron bullets, Zhu Zhanji was excited: "Brother Dehua, if we equip a large number of these weapons and cooperate with the musket array, then my Ming Dynasty"
Fang Xing said reservedly: "Artillery has the greatest lethality against dense formations, whether it is cavalry or infantry."
At this time, Ma Su asked: "Teacher, what if the enemy forces spread out their formation?"
Fang Xing smiled and said: "That's easier. A loose formation cannot break through the musket array."
Xu Fangda frowned and said: "Teacher, the consumption of copper materials is not small!"
Copper is currency, and copper is the strategic resource of Ming Dynasty.
Fang Xing smiled slightly: "My master has discovered a large copper mine in Jiaozhi."
"This is really??Timely rain! "
Everyone felt that the discovery of this large copper mine was too timely. Only Xie Jin and Huang Zhong watched in silence as Fang Xing deceived people.
"With artillery, then our Ming Dynasty will have the means to defeat the enemy from a distance. Whether it is offense or defense, artillery will dominate the battlefield and become the god of the battlefield."
Fang Xing looked at the excited faces and continued: "This is a practical case of Fang Xue. By calculating the chamber pressure, the tolerance of bronze, and the wear and tear, we finally accurately obtained the optimal charge amount. , this is Fang Xue!"
A feeling of pride spread among the students. Many of Zhu Fang¡¯s opinions just now were understandable, which was unimaginable before.
Can the Four Books and Five Classics teach people to understand the properties of these substances?
cannot!
Can the article teach people how to combine these materials into a war machine through a series of changes?
cannot!
So what can Confucianism do?
These students took the initiative to think about this problem for the first time. Xie Jin also stroked his beard and smiled. Only Huang Zhong was thoughtful.
"Teacher, I understand."
To Fang Xing¡¯s surprise, it was Li Ermao who was the first to realize something.
"Teacher, I believe that Confucianism can teach me the principles of life and doing things."
Li Ermao said with bright eyes: "But it can't teach me how to resist foreign enemies, so I feel that truth can only educate people's hearts, but to become strong, they can only"
"Ahem!"
When Fang Xing saw that Zhu Zhanji had come over from the final impact point of the iron bullet, he interrupted Li Ermao's words with a dry cough.
"Principles, but what Fang Xue teaches is also principles."
Fang Xing said: "It's just that Fang Xue teaches the principles of all things, and humans are just one of all things!"
"good!"
Xie Jin clapped his hands and applauded: "What Dehua said is very true. All things are in it. We can't just learn our own principles, but we also need to What does that sentence say?"
"explore the world!"
Ma Su reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xie Jin said happily: "Dehua talked about exploring the world, and this world includes the sky and stars above our heads. If I can know the secrets, I will have no regrets in this life!"
Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xie will definitely have this day, and Dehua should do his best to help him."
Zhu Zhanji also couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xie is willing to stay in poverty and cultivate talents for our Ming Dynasty. He should be blessed."
This is a promise!
I am making a promise as the future prince!
Xie Jin¡¯s eyes turned red, and he cupped his hands and said, ¡°Thank you for your great love, Your Highness. From now on, I will become a peach and plum for my great Ming Dynasty, and I will die without regrets!¡±
Fang Xing laughed and said, "There is a double-charge test below, so please stay away."
This interruption puzzled Zhu Zhanji, but Fang Xing did not explain it.
¡°The crown prince of a country must think twice before speaking.¡±
Fang Xing dropped these words and said to the students: "After trying this shot, everyone should go home today. It's a holiday."
Why the holiday?
Not to mention the students' joy, Xie Jin was a little puzzled.
But the ammunition was already being loaded over there, so everyone was staring at the muzzle
"Boom!"
The sound of this shot was louder than the previous one, and the recoil was not small. The entire gun mount moved back more than two meters.
When the black dot appeared, no one could catch up with its speed. They could only watch the cannonball pass directly through the target and then disappear.
