The night was already deep, and Yang Fan had no intention of sleeping.
He was thinking about the gains and losses of today's battle.
Outside the city wall, a fire was lit in the field, lighting up the wilderness a hundred meters away to prevent sneak attacks.
In the adult building of the south gate, Yang Fan was sitting on an imperial chair, with the red outside the window, diligently surfing the Internet without sleep or food.
There was a large mahogany table in front of him, with a laptop placed on it.
I just contacted Fatty Wu online and briefly talked about some of the problems he discovered using the nine-section repeating fire gun.
Fatty Wu said that he only knew how to cast and was an outsider in military applications, but it didn't matter. He formed a group called Guns and Roses. There are military enthusiasts inside. You can bring Yang Fan in.
Fat Tiger: Hello everyone, I would like to introduce a new brother to you.
Emperor Sauron: Fatty, you got another fool.
Her Majesty's Attendant: What are you going to sell this time? Let's agree first. You should keep the toilet chips for yourself.
Pharaoh's slipper-bearing officer: Damn fat man, you are just lying to people. The Five Emperors coins you sold last time in the group were all fake. I asked someone to check them and found that the patina was old. You are trying to conceive a child without a butthole.
Yang Fan was depressed. Who are these people? This damn fat guy is not a good person either.
Yang Shiyilang (Yang Fan): Hello everyone, Xiaosheng is being polite.
A series of question marks below.
Fat Tiger: Guys, please don’t question this brother first. I guarantee that the people who can join this group are all genuine enthusiasts and high-end players. Our quality will never shrink. Not just any cat or dog can come in, the group leader strictly controls the situation.
Pharaoh's slipper-bearing officer: I personally made the Eight-sided Han Sword. If this man has any proud works, he can post them for everyone to enjoy.
Fat Tiger directly sent a video. It was a video recorded by Yang Fan on his mobile phone of Xinghe Iron Factory making iron and casting a nine-knot repeating gun.
The video is only five minutes long.
Soon there will be a frying pan down there.
Boss, please accept my respect. He is so good at playing that he actually wears ancient clothes throughout the entire set of ancient factories, blast furnaces, and extras.
The younger brother is willing to give up. Such a realistic clay mold casting is really awesome.
Hey, the buns on these old guys are definitely Ming Dynasty style, the makeup artist is awesome.
Chinese style beautiful girl: Wow, these twin girls are so beautiful. What's your name? Your temperament is so suitable for wearing Hanfu. Can you introduce it to me?
Yang Shiyilang: My sister’s name is Xiangyi, and my sister’s name is Xiangying.
Fans whose past lives were potatoes: Wow, this armor set with blue flags is so realistic. Where is it made to order?
Yang Fanxin said, is it really good in the first place?
Yang Shiyilang: Everyone, I have a problem and come to ask for help. The fire door gun is not level in one hand, and it is impossible to hold the fire stick to light it with two hands. What to do.
Pharaoh's slipper-bearer:! ! ! ? ?
Her Majesty's Attendant: How can something so small be held in one hand?
Yang Shiyilang: Small? My fire gate gun is a full meter long.
The fan’s previous life was a potato: What the heck, how long is it! ! ! ! !
Yang Shiyilang: Why, is it weird that my fire gate gun is so long?
Yang Fan sent a picture.
Beautiful girl with Chinese style: Wow, nine-section continuous blast! Brother, please accept my respect.
The beautiful girl from the Medici family: I’m dizzy, someone really did this. Isn’t this the legendary thing?
Yang Fan posted a video of him experimenting with a nine-session gun. There are casting, loading and launching inside. And his magic weapon display.
You can walk thousands of miles by holding in your urine, but you can't move even by pulling your hair out: Brother, you are really awesome, you can do this, and the pig iron casting didn't explode. It's amazing.
Fat Tiger: You don’t even want to ask, whose shoulders he is standing on.
Beautiful girl with Chinese style: Brother, you may not know that fire gate guns are generally very small, and none are so big that they can be held with one hand.
Then I posted a lot of pictures. They are all muskets from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries unearthed in England. They are usually five inches long. Approximately 13 cm.
Beautiful girl with Chinese style: Did you see it? It doesn’t weigh much. There is a wooden pole installed at the back. When launching, hold the front part of the wooden pole and the back end of the wooden pole between your armpits, and then light the fire with your right hand. Very easy.
Pharaoh's Slipper Holder: Brother, you made the gun so big, who can hold it with one hand? What do you think?
Then he sent three pictures. The sizes of the fire door guns were 5 inches, 10 inches, and 15 inches respectively. The longest fifteen inches is 381 mm. You can see it without weighing it, and it can definitely be fired with one hand.
Yang Fan posted a video of the decomposition and combination of the nine-section repeating gun gun he made.
The past life of fans is potatoes: I understand, your idea is good, but it is not practical. The firing range of the fire gate gun is too short, and it loses its accuracy at a slightly farther distance. It is no match for the bow and arrow. If you can't hit it, if you can't hit it, what's the use? When you use the barrel of a gun as a flail, have you ever thought about it? Pig iron is very brittle, and the hollow tube is easily broken. It will break after a short time. It is a complete waste of money. It's not as easy to use as a long gun when you plug it in. The front end is too heavy, and it's too difficult to control such a long pole. It is better not to use weapons that are not easy to use. If there are three weapons, each one is good, but combining one weapon is not good.
Yang Fan sighed, the situation on the battlefield today had taught him a lesson. A spear cannot be used against cavalry, and a blunderbuss cannot be used against bows and arrows.
Emperor Sauron: You don’t have to say anything. Who said there are no big fire portal guns? There has been a trend of becoming larger since the 16th century. You are ignorant. Watch.
Then he sent a lot of pictures - large fire door guns.
Yang Fan asked, how are these large fire door guns used?
Emperor Sauron: Pay attention to the hook under the front of the barrel. It is fired on the wall and used to jam the wall. Just control it with one hand.
Pharaoh’s slipper-bearing officer: What about the field battle?
Emperor Sauron: Put it on a stand or install it on a trolley. What else can you do? Large fire portal guns are used on fortresses and ships. They usually have a rotatable stand.
Yang Fan thought of a key question and asked why most early fire gate guns were made so short.
Emperor Sauron: Because the gunpowder is not powerful enough, what is the point of making the barrel so long? The length of the barrel is only suitable if it is exactly equal to the maximum length required for gunpowder combustion. If it is too short, gunpowder will be wasted and combustion will be incomplete. After a long time, the gunpowder has burned out and the propulsion speed has reached its maximum. If the bullet is not allowed to exit the chamber at this time, wouldn't it increase the friction resistance and reduce the range in vain? Moreover, it adds unnecessary weight and increases the burden on soldiers.
Yang Fan suddenly realized that the longer the barrel of a gun, the better.
Emperor Sauron: What kind of gunpowder did you use?
Yang Fan posted a picture of the gunpowder he bought from the guard.
Emperor Sauron: The quality of this gunpowder is very poor. It should be made by dry mixing. It is not as good as the wet mixing method. In addition, this is not granular gunpowder. It is easy to decompose and deteriorate layer by layer if it is not stored well. Neither does combustion efficiency. If you are making propellant, it is best to use maroon gunpowder. Do not use black powder. The propellant needs to burn continuously and stably, rather than exploding too fast, which is easy to explode the chamber and has low propulsion efficiency, which is not conducive to continuous acceleration.
So your gunpowder power can be increased by at least 50%
