Chapter 153: Sewing machine

Li Mu looked at the map carefully. There are only these two places where the army can be deployed in time. But these two places are persecuted by the Qin army. One is Yang Duanhe. One is Fan Yuqi. Both of these are very difficult guys. Able to get away in time to face the Yan army. I'm afraid it is a bit difficult.

The greatest threat is not the Qin Army, but the menacing Yan Army. The army went from defeat to victory, and its morale greatly increased. And equipped with firearms from the Qin State. Progress is unusually rapid. And it has reached Julu. Only one step away from Handan.

What Li Mu was most worried about was this Yan army. It seems that Yan Jun is not terrible. But they are the closest to the core strategic value goal.

Qin's two men and horses were just threats, and there was no major movement. However, Yan Jun was the closest to the target. And most likely to threaten to hit Handan. In Li Mu's mind, he was planning to transfer that group of people to actively organize defense.

In Julu, Sima still flees back to the city. Nearly 100,000 horses, only less than 10,000 returned. Such a number made Sima Shang look bewildered, he didn't know what to do next. Yan Jun chased like crazy. The people of Yan Guo who usually seemed meek also began to retaliate. Zhao Jun couldn't resist at all under the double blow.

Only a thousand men and horses chased after Sima Shang was chased by the Yan army. More than 30 people of this thousand people are holding muskets. As long as they encounter Zhao Jun, these Yan Jun will fire their guns. Zhao Jun would instinctively run away, beheaded where he caught, and then pursued. And no one died under the musket. This is undoubtedly a huge irony.

Yan Jun quickly pursued to the city. Facing the huge wall of Julu, these Yan troops were helpless, so they had no choice but to station on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the army.

And Ju Xin, who was far behind, slowly followed the twenty artillery guns forward. It will take a day and a half to reach Julu at the earliest. Wang Ben followed, holding a wooden pen and writing something.

Wang Ben described in detail the effects of the concentrated use of artillery on the wooden boards, especially during the first salvo, and greatly admired the shocking effects produced by the enemy soldiers. The improvement proposed for the use of the musket was not great, and the idea of ​​equipping the soldiers with iron swords was proposed. Because the shooting distance of fifty steps is too limited. At this distance, you can only shoot twice. The next step is to rush the enemy soldiers in front of them. If they don't have a weapon to take advantage of, they will face death directly.

Qin Shangwen, the right minister of Daqin, who was far away in Xianyang, made a meaningful weapon. bayonet. There are two types of bayonet samples that are similar to spears. It is export-oriented. This bayonet is an imitation of the bayonet made during the Napoleonic Wars and the Civil War. The bayonet was inserted into the barrel, rotated, and there was a stick, and then put it on, there was a lock on the back, there was no problem when the bayonet leaned against it. When removing, just hold down the lock. As soon as it is loosened, it can be removed by rotating it. Such a design requires modification and production of all muskets. However, due to its simple production, it can be modified in a large amount.

These bayonets are mainly used for export to six countries. The other bayonet is a three-sided bayonet. The current processing level of this bayonet is entirely manual, and the machine cannot be used, mainly because the processing is difficult. And if it is machined, it can only produce iron, not steel. The target of this bayonet is Qin Jun. They will be heavily equipped with this bayonet.

The craftsmen looked at this tool that was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially the peculiar appearance.

Shang Wen said with a smile when he saw everyone's puzzled glances.

"This is a three-sided bayonet with blood grooves. These blood grooves are used for bleeding. The killing effect is much greater than this spear bayonet. The bayonet is used to stab, not to cut. Understand?" Shang Wen Speaking of.

"Understand, sir." said the craftsmen.

"You can do some experiments. Find some chickens and dogs. Puncture the same parts, and you will see the effect. These **** things, just let the soldiers do." Shang Wen said.

"Here." Everyone left for the experiment with two bayonets.

"My lord. My lord." Zhang Yuan shouted loudly.

"My lord has succeeded. The barrel can be drilled and can be mass-produced." Zhang Yuan shouted loudly.

"Oh. Really?" Shang Wen replied calmly.

"Yes. Look." Zhang Yuan took out a barrel and said.

Shang Wen took the barrel and looked at it. It is still very rough because it lacks a process. This process must use chemistry. There are still some rough barrels in the face. Shang Wen can only face it.

"By the way, how about those fixing devices." Shang Wen was talking about the fixing slot with thread, the fixing frame.

"It's very easy to use." Zhang Yuan said happily.

"Well, don't think about processing the barrel. There are still many things to do." Shang Wen said.

"For example, threaded interfaces, and fasteners between interfaces. This kind of pipe will only be used in more and more places. This is a small invention. I will give you a form later. Apply for a patent." Shang Wen nodded and said .

"Thank you, sir." Zhang Yuan was about to kowtow. Shang Wen quickly helped him up.

"Don't kowtow anymore, it's so troublesome. If you want to thank me, invent something more. Your pipe plays an important role. Go ahead, go ahead." Shang Wen waved away Zhang Yuan.

Shangwen sent Zhang Yuan away and went to see the steam engine and the sewing machine.

Shangwen is not involved in the work of steam engines and sewing machines. All these research and development are given to the research and development teams themselves. Moreover, with the hydraulic press, they can produce many molds that they think are feasible.

If the artillery workshop, the artillery has begun to use iron molds on a large scale, brushed with coal ash, and fixed and sealed. Pouring. Then cool and open. The mold can be reused, and the rest is some light work.

Shang Wen walked in and looked at the artillery. This time I used the more mature bronze pouring technology. The caliber of the artillery has also become five inches. Sixteen times the barrel. The craftsman hurriedly polished the artillery, and then installed the gun mount. The whole gun mount uses iron gun mounts. Because it can be made lighter. This is the second batch of guns of this type, and the first batch has been sent for testing. it is necessary. If it is feasible and there is no problem, then mass production will begin. This batch of artillery still has no rifling. For the more accurate rifle, the rifled gun will start immediately, or it can start now. For example, it is used in copper artillery. Thinking of this, Shang Wen recorded this point. Back to arrange manpower for research and development.

Out of the artillery production workshop, Shang Wen came to the artillery shells. A large number of shells have already been poured. And the types of shells began to enrich.

Grenades, shots, grenade shots. , The shape has a spherical shape, and there are a large number of tapered bullets. The inspiration came from the cone-shaped bullet at the meeting that day. But this shell is experimental. I don’t know how it works. And for such shells, perhaps only rear loading is more appropriate.

Shangwen saw that there were no hidden dangers in production, so he left. What they produce is just the shell. The gunpowder to be filled is mainly for female workers.

Shang Wen was about to check the situation of the wire drawing machine. A Cui Cui female voice came.

"My lord, my lord. The sewing machine is ready. The sewing machine is successful." Shang Wen smiled when he heard it. However, Random Shangwen wrote the word "blended." in his notebook.
