The Mine, on the other hand, can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever. Thus significantly increasing the rate of fire. The bullet is threaded around the body to match rifling, and the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil. The bottom of the bullet uses a cork material.

When firing, gunpowder gases hit the cork. The cork was hit by an instantaneous impact and suddenly propped up the bullet, because the bullet was propped up. Therefore, at the moment of firing, the bullet itself can be relied on to complete the sealing of the chamber without leaking gunpowder gases and causing the kinetic energy of the bullet to be lost. This solved the problem of chamber closure of the old front-loading guns. The rate of fire, range and security of the gun were greatly enhanced.

Before the advent of the Migne rifle, the smoothbore gun was a practical weapon, while the rifled gun was only an experimental weapon. The main problem with rifled guns is that it is difficult for the front-loading bullet to keep the chamber gas-tight due to the rifling engraving. The power is greatly reduced. In order to achieve good apnea. Rifled gun bullets tend to be made of the same caliber as the gun or even slightly larger. As a result, loading is extremely laborious, and it is often necessary to hammer the pusher lever to propel the bullet into place.

As a result, this often leads to a more dangerous cracked chamber. When the bullet is advanced into the medicine chamber, it is often deformed due to rough handling. It does not have a lethal effect. But the advent of the Migne rifle solved these problems. After solving these problems, the power of the rifled gun is fully revealed. The armament of the Migne rifled guns significantly increased the firepower of the French troops.

The Migne rifle is equipped with a safety lock to prevent misfire. The whole gun weighs 4.8 kilograms, the caliber is 17.8 millimeters, each bullet weighs 32.4 grams, the killing distance can reach 918 meters, and accurate hits can be guaranteed within 550 meters. This firing range is almost indistinguishable from that of modern firearms!

The Migne rifle was so powerful at the time that tests conducted in 1849 found that the Migne rifle could penetrate two aspen planks in a row and penetrate a third plank 20 inches within 15 yards. Because of the rifle's power and firepower, rumors were circulating that the Migne rifle could penetrate a person with a single shot and then penetrate anyone within 15 meters of its trajectory.

It's just that Migne was born at the wrong time! For a period of time after the birth of the Minean bomb, there was no large-scale war in the world, so the fame of the Minie bomb did not start. Moreover, soon after the birth of the Minne bullet, the integrated ammunition appeared, which was quickly perfected and popularized. So the status of the Migne bullet in the history of ordnance is not high at all, and few people know about it.

Liu Pei heard Bao Dezhi say that the range of the bullet of the front-loading rifle was almost close to that of modern rifles, and he almost fainted with joy! Now his troops are almost certain to sweep the world! Even if it is impossible to occupy the world!

However, although Liu Pei does not know much about the history of weapons, he is now half a politician. So as soon as the ecstasy passed, Liu Pei's heart became clear and there was a panic! He immediately grabbed Bao Dezhi's hand and said, "Mr. Bao, who are the people who know this technology?" ”

Bao Dezhi was stunned by Liu Pei's question, and immediately reacted. He looked at Liu Pei's face and knew that something seemed to have changed. He immediately said, "These are the people here! No one else will know. ”

Seeing that the information was not leaked from the city, Liu Pei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Who is there from the Intelligence Bureau?" Who are the people in the guard camp? ”

As soon as the words fell, two guards immediately stood up, stood out of the crowd and saluted Liu Pei and said, "The intelligence bureau reports from Fang Cunshan. ”

"The guard battalion Ding team Xiaoqi He Shui reports."

Liu Pei instructed: "All the people who know this technology are registered and put a gag order!" No news is allowed to circulate. At the same time, all the information on this technology will be destroyed, and only one copy will be kept in the Academy of Sciences. ”

The two of them immediately received the order to run errands, but Bao Dezhi listened to Liu Pei's order and asked in surprise: "Why do you want to destroy the data?" Aren't you going to use this new technology? ”

Liu Pei said with a gloomy expression: "That's right, I don't plan to use it." Mr. Bao, didn't you find that the technology of this new type of ammunition is too simple? ”

Bao Dezhi was even more surprised when he heard Liu Pei say this, and said, "So what? It's easy to produce! In order to equip the troops as soon as possible! ”

When Liu Pei heard this, he said: "That's not what you said. Firearms in the East are not as widespread as in the West, and such a simple technique can be learned by anyone who looks at it. We can't guarantee winning every battle, and we can't guarantee the recovery of every warhead that is fired, so once this technology leaks out, it will soon spread to the West. And the West has long popularized musket technology, what will it look like if they get this technology again? ”

Bao Dezhi was shocked after listening to Liu Pei's statement! I couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid there will be a qualitative change in Western musket technology." They're going to pounce on the world faster! ”

Liu Pei sighed and said, "That's the reason. So this technique we must not use! Even if you pay a few more lives, you can't use it. ”

Bao Dezhi shook his head and sighed when he heard this: "It's a pity! It's a pity! ”

Liu Pei patted Bao Dezhi's arm and said, "There's nothing to be sorry for!" Don't forget that they are still groping in the dark. And we have a whole bunch of scientists in the Academy of Sciences. So we crossed over this technology and went straight to the one-piece bullet! With you here, it is estimated that the integrated bullet will appear one or two hundred years in advance. ”

Bao Dezhi shook his head and said, "You think too highly of us!" Bullets are not as easy to produce as guns! I'm afraid you'll have to wait a long time! ”

Liu Pei asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?" ”

"Modern one-piece bullets look small and simple. But you know what? In fact, a bullet has to go through nearly 100 processes. In the case of the Type 56 bullet, for example, the cartridge case required 37 processes, which has now been reduced to 23. The warhead used to have 43 processes, now it is 15! The total number of processes for a bullet has been reduced from 146 to 87. How's that, enough is it? If it's a special bullet, such as a professional sniper bullet, then there are more processes! The most important thing is not in technology, but in the early stage of metal smelting! ”

Liu Pei was surprised by this knife! In fact, what Bao Dezhi said was right. As far as we can bring it now, almost most countries can make guns, but there are no more than 30 countries in the world that can actually produce bullets and shells! Moreover, in these countries, there are no more than 10 qualified bullets or low-tech copper-shelled bullets! As for steel-shelled shells, even less! And China is the best of them!

As for the bullets produced in other countries, the quality is too poor, and they are prone to various problems when used. Especially in the countries of the Middle East, the bullets produced are simply unusable! The government army of their own family is not willing to use it! After all, no one wants to suddenly find that they are stuck on the battlefield when they are playing for their lives, or simply blow up the chamber!

As for the countries that can produce sniper bullets, they are China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Germany, Japan, the Czech Republic, and Israel. Canada, a country close to the United States, can also produce it, but the technology comes from the United States and has not been developed by itself.

Liu Pei was even happier when she heard these things! No matter how many years, as long as the speed of your own progress exceeds that of the West, then you don't have to worry about blocking a transitional technology yourself! When the integrated bullet is developed, the army under his command can attack the city and seize the land unscrupulously, and the opponent has no choice but to stare dryly even if he gets the sample of the bullet! What a future it is! Therefore, Liu Pei has strengthened his determination to block the Minne bomb technology! For this reason, even if it is postponed, the equipment of rifled guns will not hesitate!

Soon, the Intelligence Bureau and the Guards Battalion joined forces to issue a secrecy order and informed all the craftsmen who knew that they must keep it a secret. The craftsmen also sighed when they learned the news, feeling that a good idea had not been applied. However, Liu Pei did not disappoint them, and still issued a reward to everyone, which restored the morale of the craftsmen. The craftsmen also understood the seriousness of the matter, and said that they would keep silent about the matter.

Liu Pei then asked about the rifled gun. Bao Dezhi also replied. It's just that you can't make rifled guns at the moment. As long as the reason is that the rifling of the rifled gun must be drawn by hand, and the speed is too slow. Therefore, Bao Dezhi is researching the right to make industrial machine tools such as turning, milling, planing, and drilling.
