Chapter 347 Grenade

With the help of a group of professionals, the development of the musket was quickly completed.There was no problem in the subsequent manufacture.

This matter made Wei Ming understand that no matter what it is, it is much more reliable to leave it to professionals than to fiddle with it by yourself.

Now that muskets can be developed, can grenades be tinkered with?We have to go with a full set of millet plus a rifle, right?Back then, heroes and heroes still had at least two grenades to throw, and I couldn't hurt my brothers.

That's not all the reason why Wei Ming wants to study grenades. The key is to improve the cannon, but he still can't do it.

Under Wei Ming's instruction, the group of skilled craftsmen under him did experiments in this area, changing from loading ammunition from the front to loading ammunition from the rear.

As a result, the workmanship was not good, the seal was not good, the bomb did not go out, the chamber exploded, and two people were injured.

We uphold the spirit of dedication to science, day and night to overcome difficult problems, the result is still not enough.Dozens of skilled craftsmen were killed or injured for this, which made Wei Ming's heart bleed.

Such talents are not easy to find, and if there is one death or injury, there will be one less.In the end, Wei Ming decisively gave up his attempts in this area and began to develop grenades.

This thing is thrown out to blow up, so it should be less dangerous and easier to study.If you make a cantaloupe grenade, and then make a few small cannon barrels to shoot out the grenade, the effect will not be much different.

I think that in the past, the Japanese country used this thing to be a hero, and now it is used to punish the northern bandits. It should be very useful, and it can be regarded as a sharp weapon against cavalry.

Wei Ming didn't think that in the era when there were no heavy machine guns, just relying on muskets would be able to fight the Golden Mongolian cavalry.

Standing outside the research site, Wei Ming watched the development of the grenade, and said to Li Zicheng, "Since I issued the statement, has there been any movement from the Golden Mongolian coalition forces?"

"There was movement, but not much. Later Jin just sent [-] cavalry back to Shanxi to roam around. They were actually guarding against us. And other large troops are still besieging Xuanfu." Li Zicheng said.

"When will our people arrive?" Wei Ming said.

"It will take another month. Now An Bangyan and She Chongming Feige have sent a letter saying that we are only three days away from here. The two of them will arrive soon with a thousand marines." Li Zicheng replied.

"It's enough for the two of them to come over. Who else should they bring? Don't Lu Xiangsheng need anyone?" Wei Ming said with a frown.

"Master Hou, Lu Xiangsheng also explained this matter. After all, you formed the Marine Corps at that time, and they are all people who know the basics. Since then, there has been no expansion of enrollment. It is very unlikely that there will be a mole in there.

It is better to have some of your own pro-army around you.After all, to lead such a large army, it is impossible without some trustworthy people. "Li Zicheng said.

"Okay, it's all here, so what's the point? Didn't you say you're going to test the results of the grenade today? Why hasn't there been any movement for a long time?" Wei Ming asked strangely.Since you can even make things like sea mines, there is no problem with mines.There is nothing wrong with landmines, is there a problem with grenades?

"I don't know what they are doing. They are talking about today, so there should be no problem. Wait a little longer, it should be soon." Speaking of this, Li Zicheng paused and said: "Master Hou, the eldest lady is going to give birth today. Won't you go back and have a look?"

"What to look at, the country will not be a country, but what that thing does!" Wei Ming shouted, glaring at Li Zicheng.Although Wei Ming said so, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.

But he did what he could.The best stable woman with a radius of tens of miles had entered Wei Ming's manor two months ago to wait for delivery. Wu Youke and Zhao Guxia who were originally in Nanzhili also came to Shaanxi and lived in Wei Ming's manor. inside.

It is said that these two people couldn't survive in Nanzhili. The Eight Kings covered the whole Nanzhili with smoke and dust, and the plague did not break out under the efforts of the two. It was perfect. I heard that Wei Ming was in Shaanxi. , I ran to Shaanxi decisively.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the world is going to be in chaos now.The two felt that it would be safer to stay with Wei Ming, so they came to Shaanxi.

Wei Ming really didn't feel that as soon as he showed his bastard spirit, all the people with lofty ideals in the world would come and surrender.This thing is obviously nonsense.With these two people, even if there is any accident, it should be able to solve it.Even if he went back by himself, it would only add to the chaos.

At this moment, there was a bang, which startled Wei Ming and Li Zicheng. When they looked inside, a puff of black smoke rose. Li Zicheng and Wei Ming looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"Could it be that the gunpowder magazine exploded?" Wei Ming was startled, Li Zicheng jumped up and was about to run up, but Wei Ming stopped him.

The gunpowder magazine exploded, you dare to rush up, it's really desperate!And when I looked inside again, it seemed that something was wrong.The gunpowder magazine exploded, why the group of people inside were jumping and jumping, seeming to be very happy.

"Successful, successful, we succeeded!" Two people saw Wei Ming and Li Zicheng outside the field, and they came over happily to give them a big hug. Li Zicheng, who was far away, pulled out his saber. The saber, also very interesting, turned a corner and left to celebrate with other people.

"What the hell is this successful?" Wei Ming was at a loss.

"Master Hou, they really said it was a success." Li Zicheng nodded.At this time, two people also walked out of the research site, the prestigious old man and the fat aunt who weighed about two hundred catties.

"See Lord Hou!" When the two came over, they first saluted respectfully, and then Wei Ming woke up like a dream, helped the two of them up, and then asked, "How is the experiment going? Is it going to work?"

"Master Hou, you saw it just now, it works, of course it works.

This grenade is similar to the principle of a big artillery battle.If possible, we don't need the launcher at all, and use the principle of two kicks to shoot out directly and put them into the enemy's formation, so as to ensure that we can blow the crap out of the opponent! "The old man said with full confidence, but Wei Ming didn't have much confidence.

Gunpowder is an unstable thing, and things like grenades often appear in the second kicker. If there is more gunpowder, wouldn't it blow people to death?

Wei Ming didn't think it was a good idea.However, every finished product must have a beautiful idea, and he has no intention of suppressing other people's creativity.

It doesn't mean that it was not good in the previous life, but it is not good in the present.

Since the appearance of the steam engine, the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the Ming Dynasty of the previous life.Now steam engines not only appear on steam locomotives, some people have already begun to apply this kind of thing on textile looms and ships. Experiments are being carried out step by step. I believe that it will not take long to produce results.

Now that the cars are no longer on the original track, they cannot be required by the rules on the original track.

"Since it's successful, let's talk about it, how powerful is this grenade?" Wei Ming said.

"Master Hou, please take a look." The old man took out a wooden grenade from behind, startling Wei Ming.Now the technology of this thing is immature, it can be said that it has just started, I don’t know if this thing can blow up by itself, it’s better to stay away from me.

"Okay, okay, old man, you should put this thing away first, just say it directly." Wei Ming said.

"Oh, that's it." The old man wanted to show off at first, but he knew what Wei Ming was thinking by looking at Wei Ming's appearance, so he threw the grenade in his hand to the fat woman, and then said: "Master, Now our grenade is not good enough, it can only explode three pieces, but the sound is loud enough, and it is also convenient enough. As long as you throw a wave when the opponent's cavalry rushes over, even if it can't cause much damage to the opponent, you can It can surprise the enemy and frighten the enemy." The old man said.

"There are only three pieces." Wei Ming said regretfully.But also very good.

"It's okay, Lord Hou, we can improve this, as long as we increase the amount of gunpowder, the power should still be improved." Seeing Wei Ming's disappointed expression, the old man hurriedly said.

"Research is a must, but you must pay attention to safety. You are all pillars of the country, and if one is missing, it will be a huge loss to the country." Wei Ming said seriously.

"Thank you, Lord Hou! With Lord Hou's words, even if we die like this, we will have no regrets." The old man knelt down excitedly.Originally, their craftsmanship was only called ingenious tricks, no one recognized them, and their status was low.

But when he arrived at Wei Ming's place, he was offered up as a treasure, which made the skilled craftsmen feel very satisfied.That's why they work so hard.
