Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 157 Lighting Up Humanistic Ideas
2190 brilliant points, enough for Zheng Kezang to open four idea groups!

The system reminded me last time that there are too many military ideas, and the third idea group does not allow military ideas.

Then open the humanistic concept!
Zheng Kezang now has a big territory, and there are all kinds of ghosts and monsters. He is fine at this stage, but he is afraid that something will happen in the future.

"System, please light up the humanistic concept for me!" The concept given by the system is different from that in the game. Zheng Kezang feels like opening a blind box.

But overall, it doesn't stray off topic.

[The humanistic concept has been lit, and the balance is 1790 brilliant points]

Zheng Kezang immediately opened the concept introduction and found that, as before, each group of concepts only has four buffs, but this time it is super practical!

[①Local Traditions: Managing a huge country means managing many different ethnic groups with their own customs and traditions. By treating different ethnic groups with tolerance, we can get a group of happy and loyal people.National rebellion degree -5.00]

[②Cultural ties: Different cultures have different customs, but there is also "seeking common ground in differences", through long-term living together and intermarriage with the mainstream culture, interdependence and mutual absorption.Cultural assimilation speed +15%]

[③A model of a benevolent monarch: Ming Zheng is a bastion of tolerance and enlightenment. He has a ruler who is modest and gentlemanly.Common people loyalty +10%]

[④Humanistic Tolerance: Mingzheng has a more tolerant society, treats different social thoughts and religious beliefs openly, and greatly improves the country's stability.National stability +15%]

Zheng Kezang fell in love with the extremely practical humanistic idea group.

They are the BUFF that Ming Zheng needs most!

Dongning Prefecture, in the shooting range of Dongning Military Academy, Zheng Kezang is aiming with a rifle about 1.3 meters in length.

bang!
With superb marksmanship, he accurately hit a wooden stake 250 meters away.

After shooting, Zheng Kezang skillfully turned the muzzle upwards, took out a package of gunpowder that had already been installed, bit it open with his mouth and poured it into the barrel, then pinched a strange bullet with his fingers, and pressed it with a cleaning rod. Reality.

Then pick up the rifle, pull the hammer to the ready position, this position is a safety, it will not fire, don't worry about misfire, and finally take out the copper flash cap and put it on the anvil.

It only took Zheng Kezang eight seconds to complete a set. This is a very easy-to-use new firearm: the 1851-type Minie front-loading rifle.

Hearing the name, he understood that this was the blueprint that Zheng Kezang exchanged from the system for 50 Brilliant Points, of which 30 points were exchanged for guns, and 20 points were exchanged for Mines bullets.

With the steam engine and lathe, Zheng Kezang's Dongning Manufacturing Bureau is already qualified to produce rifled guns.

The difference between a rifled gun and a smoothbore gun is that the rifled gun has rifling!

Rifling is the soul of the barrel.

Since rifling can give the bullet the ability to "rotate", when the bullet shoots out of the rifled barrel, it tends to achieve longer range and higher accuracy due to the rotation of the bullet.

This principle is actually the same as the "gyro" played by children, because the rotation of the bullet greatly improves the "stability" of the bullet when it is fired.

In fact, in Europe in the [-]th century, that is, the era of Zheng Kezang, there were already "rifled guns" with longer range and higher precision, that is, "rifles", but the European army at that time still preferred A "smooth gun" without rifling.

Because the early rifled guns had a huge flaw, that is, the reloading speed was too slow. This shortcoming prevented riflemen from joining the main force to fight team battles, and could only walk around the edge of the battlefield and shoot coldly. big.

In addition, the projectiles at that time were loaded from the muzzle. It was laborious to insert the projectiles of the rifled guns from the front, and the rate of fire was slow. Moreover, the rifling was easily blocked by dirty black powder, causing the projectiles to get stuck inside or even explode the chamber.

Therefore, in the following 200 years, rifled guns were either hunting toys for the nobles, or hunting guys for hunters, and they were rarely used in the military field.

It was not until the appearance of the Minie bullet that the rifled gun was completely put on the military stage.

Judging from the shape of the Minie bullet, it is actually infinitely close to the modern pistol "ball bullet". The difference is that the gunpowder and the bullet are still separated. Small, but it does not "leak energy" and is easier to fill.

Because there is a cone-like groove behind the warhead of the "Migne bomb", which also matches an oak plug, and then after the gunpowder is ignited, the instantaneous pressure generated by the gunpowder and the impact of the oak will cause this The groove flares out so that it just matches the rifling on the barrel to give it a proper shape.

It is also by virtue of the improvement of the projectile that the "Migne-style front-loading rifle" equipped with "Migne bullets" also won an excellent shooting result with a maximum range of 918 meters and accurate hits within 500 meters.

The flintlock guns used by the Guards before had an effective range of only 100 meters to 150 meters, which is a world of difference.

However, due to the advanced technology of the Mines gun, the output of the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau is very low!
Because this also involves a front-end technology: the fire hat!
The birth of this gun was simply too difficult, and Zheng Kezang regretted it a bit, because it was a little difficult for the current Ming Zheng.

The production technology of the flash cap cost Zheng Kezang a full 50 points, which is as much as the blueprints of the Minie gun and the Minie bomb combined.

The core technology of the flash cap is the development of mercury fulminate. In order to develop this gadget, the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau had many accidents in gunpowder, and two of them were serious accidents.

People in this era don't know anything about nitric acid at all, and they don't even have any awareness of the dangers of nitrification. Therefore, operators often carry out brutal operations, so accidents in gunpowder factories are inevitable.

Even if Zheng Kezang repeatedly reminded the craftsmen of the gunpowder factory to be careful and careful, and even formulated the test procedures and specifications for them, it still failed to prevent these accidents from happening.

It wasn't until the people in the gunpowder factory fully realized the danger of doing this kind of thing that they knew to follow the standard steps formulated by Zheng Kezang.

Finally, the accident rate was reduced. The gunpowder factory paid the price of more than 20 casualties just for the manufacture of this small flash cap.

But no matter what, the flash cap has been trial-produced, and during the trial-production period, it has been tested, and the firing rate has reached more than [-]%!

With the flash cap, the flintlock can withdraw from the stage of history, and the guards no longer have to worry about the rainy day flintlock is not easy to use, because no matter it is a windy day or a rainy day, as long as the gunpowder is not damp, the flash cap is properly preserved. The rifle will still fire normally.

After the fire cap, the next difficulty is standardization!
