The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 205 Rifling affects power and accuracy? Emperor Hongwu: Firegun reform is imminent!

Late Yuan Dynasty.

The world was in chaos, the princes were rising together, and the Yuan Dynasty was in name only.

After Fengyang Zhu Yuanzhang took Jinling, he was planning the future development route with Li Shanchang.

At this moment, the flintlock musket on the sky curtain made Zhu Yuanzhang instantly interested.

He is no stranger to firearms. Today, Yuan Ting and the rebels are equipped with a lot of firecrackers.

But this so-called flintlock musket was beyond his expectation.

The power of the fire gun is good, but its corresponding shortcomings are also obvious.

For example, it is inconvenient to carry, for example, the musket projectiles cannot get wet, for example, it is difficult to use in rainy days...

But the flintlock musket in front of him covered up countless shortcomings.

At this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind that he would not miss such an excellent weapon!

Decades later, during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Hongwu, was amazed when he saw the principle of the flint-hair gun.

Although the power of this flintlock musket has not changed, its concealability is much higher.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but recall the military life in the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty. It would be great if he had such a weapon at that time.

But just when Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, the scene changed again.

[Then, Germanic craftsmen invented the rifle, that is, they carved spiral rifling into the barrel of the gun, so that the projectile of the gun kept rotating when it shot out of the barrel, which greatly ensured the stability of projectile shooting. sex! 】

[Not only improved the shooting accuracy, but also virtually increased the range of the musket. Then someone installed a ruler on the musket for aiming, which further improved the accuracy of the musket's aiming. 】

A dark gun barrel suddenly stretched out from the screen, and was then cut open, revealing the spiral lines inside!

"The invention of rifling is the real key thing!" 》

"Who would have thought that such an inconspicuous rifling could directly affect the accuracy and power of a gun? 》

"Now I know that there is such a thing as rifling in the barrel!" 》

"Holy crap, if I keep reading, I'm worried that I'll make a gun!" 》

"These are all principles. Having seen it and doing it are two different things, so panic!" 》

And this moment.

The Mohist giant of the Great Qin Dynasty: Record it quickly!

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: I didn’t expect that this fire gun would hide so many details and secrets. I must not miss any of it!

Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms: Rifling? Sight? It seems that this musket is really not simple!

Ming dynasty.

In the Forbidden City, Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes wide.

Rifling?

Just a few thin wires can actually affect the power of a fire gun?

Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled to understand the principle.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was only curious about whether the Ming Dynasty's firearms camp could be changed like this!

Although the world has been peaceful now, Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget that there was always a group of nomads in the north who were eyeing him.

If we could change all the Ming Dynasty's fire cannons into rifled flintlock fire cannons...

Gee!

After Zhu Yuanzhang let out a light sigh, the expression on his face suddenly became brighter.

Glancing at Yan King Zhu Di beside him, Lao Zhu instantly had a plan in mind.

"Fourth!"

Hearing this slightly affectionate address, Zhu Di was in a daze at the moment.

Once upon a time, he thought that he would be killed because of a "Fengtian Jingnan" incident.

But now, even though he has handed over his military power, he still feels the long-lost warmth. After drinking and pecking, Zhu Di couldn't tell what emotions were in his heart.

But Zhu Di knew one thing very well.

As long as the eldest brother Zhu Biao can inherit the throne with peace of mind, the position of Marshal of Zhengbei will definitely be reserved for him!

When he thought of the scene where he led an army to fight for his eldest brother, Zhu Di's cold heart suddenly became excited.

At this moment, his father spoke.

Zhu Di immediately retracted his thoughts and bowed respectfully to respond.

"Father."

Although he didn't know what his old man was thinking, Zhu Di could feel that it seemed to be related to the content of the evolution of the sky curtain.

Could it be...

Before Zhu Di could think more, Zhu Yuanzhang had already looked Zhu Di up and down.

"Fourth child!"

"We know you have a restless personality, so I'll give you a job. What do you think?"

How could Zhu Di dare to refuse? He answered and waited for the next step.

Zhu Yuanzhang also focused his gaze on the sky again and spoke calmly.

"The fire gun reform is imminent!"

"The day the Firearms Battalion is reorganized will be the time for General Qin to conquer the northern steppes!"

"We don't care what the future holds, but at this moment, your eldest brother has secured his position as the head of the East Palace. We don't want fratricide to happen in Lao Zhu's family!"

"do you understand?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, Zhu Di's figure trembled instantly.

What does it mean?

This is to ask him to be responsible for the reform of the fire gun, right?

But what really touched Zhu Di was another sentence: General Zhengbei!

Zhu Di suddenly realized at this moment that no matter how his father favored his eldest brother, he was still his father's son after all!

As for rebellion or something...

Don't be kidding, in Zhu Di's heart at this moment, Prince Zhu Biao is not only his eldest brother, but also the next Ming Dynasty monarch in this world!

Let him rebel against Zhu Biao?

This thought only appeared for a moment, and was immediately wiped from Zhu Di's mind.

I was brought up by Zhu Biao, and it’s not just words that my eldest brother is like my father!

So Zhu Di's mind naturally shifted to the reform of Huogun. It would be much better to conquer the generals in the north than to stay in Beijing!

……

[Of course, the evolution of firearms eventually changed from front-loading ammunition to rear-loading ammunition, which also became the prototype of modern firearms! 】

[At the beginning of the 19th century, people discovered mercury fulminate and flash caps containing mercury fulminate percussion powder. Put the flash cap on the anvil with a fire hole, and striking the flash cap can ignite the gunpowder in the chamber. This is a percussion bolt. 】

[Based on this principle, fixed-loading bullets that combined warheads, gunpowder and paper cartridges soon appeared, so people began to load ammunition from the end of the barrel! 】

[But soon, the shortcomings of paper cartridges appeared, lack of stability! So brass cartridge cases came out, and modern small arms also ushered in a real transformation. After that, various semi-automatic and fully automatic weapons appeared one after another! 】

Along with the blogger's explanation, the model animation of modern fixed-type bullets appeared on the sky.

It not only presents the structure of modern bullets on the sky, but also clearly explains the firing principle of bullets.

Then there were pictures of countless modern firearms, with the range parameters of various weapons marked on them.

"Here comes, here comes, the ancestor of modern bullets!" 》

"Good guy, this is really a "popular science" blogger! 》

"I have something I don't know whether to say or not. If this guy had been in high ground before, he would have been an arms dealer! 》

"What a fuss, go check out the blog in front of me and teach you how to build an atomic bomb!" 》

"Don't tell me, there really are principles of atomic bombs. This guy actually plans to teach me how to build a nuclear bomb?" ! 》
