Precision machining is a very complex system engineering, which is particularly affected by the progress of materials science.
However, the situation does not allow for step-by-step development, and can only force everyone to use their subjective initiative and overcome some difficulties.
The order for the seamless barrel came from the manufacturing bureau and came from the hard demand for the second magic gun revision in a short period of time.
The first generation of magic firearms were mass-produced, but their anti-air effects were very poor. They were used to attack little demons flying around, and they often had to be shot randomly to kill them.
The single shot hit rate is very unfortunate.
This problem occurs during target practice, but everyone thinks that guns are just like this and don't pay much attention to it.
And to be honest, before the heavy factory develops to a certain extent, it is indeed a difficult problem to solve, and even magic cannot solve it.
However, as there are more and more little devils in the North, the scope of their activities gradually expands, and the need for air defense becomes increasingly urgent. Not only must the magic rifle be transferred to the city defense force, but the Magic Weapon Research Institute must also come up with the second version before the time is ripe. Magic gun.
This version of the gun returns to the crossbow shooting method, but to be honest, in the face of anti-air requirements, the crossbow's hit rate is equally impressive.
Moreover, the crossbow has a very fatal problem. When it attacks at a high angle of attack, its trajectory is more unstable.
In short, only a thousand units of this version of the magic gun were purchased in a limited quantity. It took three months to wait for the first batch of Caroline No. 2 magic rifles made of seamless steel pipes.
With a certain processing accuracy, the effect is indeed very good. This gun has a certain degree of guarantee on the hit rate of an aerial target at a height of 50 meters away. An eight-person team can basically guarantee the accuracy of two rounds of shooting. Two or three shots hit, and those with shooting talent can even handle it alone.
The reason why it is 150 meters is the maximum damage distance of the little devil's fireball based on actual combat experience.
The basic resistance of the Night Tribe and the Blade is not low. The little devil's fireball has to be launched within 20 meters to pose a fatal threat. It may cause serious injuries at around 50 meters. No matter how far the distance is, it is already easier to avoid due to the ballistic speed, but There is still lethality.
After exceeding 150 meters, the damage of the fireball will weaken rapidly. It should be understood that the magic power has become uncontrollable. If you are hit from this distance, it will be like being touched by a deflagration flame. There will be no continuous burning sensation and your clothes will not be covered. It will definitely burn.
The little devils that appear now cannot cause damage by releasing fireballs in groups, but military forces must be prepared to deal with them. 150 meters is the damage warning line set for them, and it is also the new moving target training distance set by the garrison.
The little devil has the word "little" in it, so he is probably not a powerful character, but the technical power of the group under Wang Qi's rule is also relatively limited, so it is good to be able to do this.
The Caroline II Magic Rifle not only improves ballistic accuracy with its seamless barrel, but also enhances the battlefield endurance of organized units with upgraded spare parts from the previous revision.
Specifically, charging components are made from higher-purity magic adsorption materials, reducing the original 3-day charging time of a single unit to 40 hours.
Taking the garrison Blade Army as an example, the charger is not equipped to the squad, but is only placed at the company level. The equipment amount is one charge to supplement 2,000 shooting opportunities.
When the hit rate is insufficient, two thousand shooting opportunities can be replenished in three days, which is still insufficient for a company. In continuous battles, the average daily quota of individual soldiers is less than six rounds, and they can only rely on their stocks to cope with occasional battles.
The new gun improves the hit rate, effectively reduces the number of shots, and speeds up the replenishment of shooting opportunities. At this time, the garrison can already cope with a certain intensity of continuous combat.
Only the heavy factory has just started, and there is still a long way to go to achieve stable production of seamless steel pipes.
In addition, while practicing internal skills in the heavy factory, Wang Qi also discovered a situation that was not considered in the early stage-waste disposal.
At this stage, the gap between heavy factories and hand-made manufacturing has not widened too much. When it truly matures, even the waste produced will have intelligence value.
They produced a large amount of waste during the trial production of seamless steel pipes. They originally planned to resell it to Xincheng blacksmiths. Fortunately, the Heavy Industry and Manufacturing Bureau are still relatively close now. When I asked about the waste disposal, Li wanted to know and came over. Talk to Wang Qi.
Wang Qi thought about it and it was really inappropriate to give it to the blacksmith, because the waste contained the secret of the processing technology.
However, it is difficult to support a scrap steel recycling enterprise with this scrap, so it can only continue to add burdens to the ironworks and let them do part-time scrap recycling work.
Scrap steel recycling may sound like just melting it down, but it is actually a very complicated task.
In order to ensure that the recycled steel can be used, it is necessary to start from the heavy factory that produces scrap. When cleaning the workshop, the scrap steel must be sorted according to the label. Otherwise, it will be difficult to separate them after they are mixed together.
Fortunately, the iron works are not that good now. There are only a few types of carbon steel with a high carbon content, plus a few derivative grades that have been blackened and specially quenched, such as chromium steel, manganese steel, and molybdenum steel. No. If they are all carbon steel, even if they are mixed together, nothing serious will happen. At most, they will just have to do decarburization and carburization again.
But good habits should be developed from an early age. In order to cope with the increasingly complex steel series, scrap steel classification must start now. Otherwise, once a common perception of random discarding is formed later, it will only become more of a headache.
After taking care of the housework a little, Wang Qi's main focus is still on the north.
If you know yourself and your enemy, you can win a hundred battles. Waiting for the demons to attack is not the right approach.
Before the Caroline No. 2 magic rifle was put into service, the garrison had already carried out special operations training according to the booklet given by Wang Qi. The purpose of the training is to form an elite small team to be responsible for enemy reconnaissance.
The sharp blade's physical condition is quite different from that of ordinary humans, so it is of limited use to apply it mechanically. The actual training focuses more on theoretical classes. According to the results of the theoretical classes, one by one comes to Wang Qi to receive enhanced attributes.
By the time the No. 2 Rifle entered the queue, a combined company had been selected, with 80% Sharp Blades and 20% Night Clan.
The reconnaissance company, with a total of 120 people, received new rifles and underwent shooting training for just half a month before starting to perform its mission.
They made full use of the advantages of night vision, lurked day and night, and gathered intelligence in the north. Also acting at the same time as them was the newly formed engineering company.
The engineering company was affiliated with the Night Clan Legion. After being selected, they were taken to the cement factory for a month of internship, and then they started to figure out how to build cement fortifications in the camp.
Wang Qi interfered a lot and directly sent over the drawings of the one-way anti-bombing bunker.
There is probably no artillery corps in the magical world, but there is magic. Ultra-long-range trebuchets, magic cannons, and destructive magic with certain ballistic characteristics have to be guarded against.
The reason why we chose a one-way anti-bombardment bunker instead of a serious bunker is because the initial bunkers were built north of the volcanic area. So far, no human traces have been found in this area, and there are quite a lot of various monsters. Before, they were in the ice forest. The size of the active six-legged crawling furry monster is average among others.
With the current strength, Wang Qi has little confidence in stationing and defending north of the volcanic belt for a long time, so the fortifications need to consider the situation of being occupied by the enemy.
The one-way anti-shelling bunker is a semi-buried bunker. It cannot defend against attacks from behind. It is more conducive to retaking it at any time, and of course it will be easier to be snatched away.
If the bunker is enhanced by the enemy's strange magic, it will most likely turn into nails that are difficult to remove, which is very troublesome.
In addition to the drawings, Wang Qi also called two army commanders to discuss tactics.
"For almost half a year, we still had no idea what was happening to the north."
"Please punish me, Your Majesty."
There were no mages in the garrison, and General Xiaolei lacked language knowledge and was unable to speak Qin. The person who spoke was William, the commander of the Night Clan Legion, and General Xiaolei just followed and saluted.
William actually didn't have many subordinates. The entire Night Clan legion totaled just over a thousand people. Except for the ceremonial soldiers on duty in the Wangting tree, they were mainly responsible for logistics during the battle. However, because Wang Qi could add more, there were also a very small number of combatants.
Of course, now that there are magic guns, ordinary night tribes are either unable to fight or die more easily. There is no need to let them come into direct contact with swarms of enemies unless necessary.
"The First Minister of the Ming Dynasty"
"sit."
The two sat down as told.
"In the future, a certain number of No. 2 guns will be replaced every month, but before you all change equipment, before the surface of the lava lake completely cools down, this table must be able to see all the routes from the royal court to the lava lake, as well as all the routes on these roads. Topography, geology.”
A reliable map cannot be made by just walking around and drawing it casually. However, we can’t make too many demands on accuracy at the moment, so we need to solve any problems first.
In order to avoid ceremonial nonsense, Wang Qi did not stop and continued to talk, "The mixed company is still short of manpower. Let them adapt and send them to the dangerous area close to the lava lake for reconnaissance as soon as possible. The remaining troops are responsible for cleaning up threatening groups. If you don’t know how to survey monsters and maps, ask people from the expedition team for help, but you must protect them to avoid frequent losses.”
"yes!"
Wang Qi ignored him and said to himself: "In terms of fortifications, they are mainly responsible for guarding the main roads, and at the same time considering the need to recapture the battle. The enemy seems to come from the devil world. I don't know how many monsters there are. With the size of the Night Tribe and the Blade, there is probably nothing they can do. Fight with them in terms of numbers. If a small-scale battle is triggered, the fortifications can be abandoned when it is clear that the enemy is defeated, so as to preserve the vitality."
After hearing the request, General Xiaolei was a little troubled. The fools under his command were probably not willing to make a tactical retreat. However, there was no need to upset His Majesty with this kind of thing. Trying to enhance their survivability could also achieve the goal. If it really doesn't work anymore, they would move out of His Majesty's house. It is not too late to give an oral message.
