In fact, Chen Mu wants to build a fire brigade, of course, this thing can also be used as a weapon.

Water dragon guns, spray guns, fire dragon guns, three people, three angles, three ways, just that night to complete this relatively simple design but a lot of useful things to complete the further improvement of the design.

On the second day, they made a test model, at this time the finished product has gradually moved away from the original hand-pressed water pump, involving public safety, agricultural production, military weapons three aspects, the Minister of Oriental drove a donkey cart to take the lead in burning the house has also become a wonder of Changsheng County.

Chen Mu also passed the addiction of arson.

In the vacated courtyard outside the city, he simulated the burning of different houses and furniture seven times, drove a donkey cart carrying a bucket to avoid running wild in the market, galloped to the front and sprayed wildly, and directed his own soldiers to rush into the fire to pick up the 'people' who remained in the house, and extinguish the fire before it worsened.

Although the so-called 'common people' are just two big puppets with 100 catties of sand, they still perfectly test the fire brigade's firefighting process in this era.

Although the safe distance that can effectively save people is very close, only three miles, more than this distance if there is no neighbor people to save themselves, the house can not be saved, fortunately, the construction of Changsheng houses has a unified plan, independent courtyards, even if it is a street adjacent to the neighborhood, there are brick walls to block, to prevent the fire from further expansion has a strong flame retardant ability.

This is enough, with the scale of Changsheng County, only five water dragon teams need to be set up, which can fully cover the county center, and a water dragon team only needs the establishment of a small flag and two water dragon donkey carts, in fact, there is no need to compile at all.

Fires don't happen every day, and within the patrol range of the local patrol and Lijia militia, according to the meaning of Zou Yuanbiao, the county governor, the water dragon gun is directly assigned to the patrol and inspection department's outpost, anyway, their sentry posts are all at convenient intersections.

But Chen Mu cares more about professionalism, and if he wants to do it, he will do it well, in his words: "The New World is a test field for the Ming Dynasty, and all the new regulations that are different from the local ones can provide a reference for the better reform of the Ming Dynasty itself, and set an example." ”

"What I want is not a part-time firefighter, but a water dragon team in charge of this matter, independently organized, four captains lead the rank of firefighting flag, and another firefighting flag, in charge of firefighting and saving the people, study firefighting, practice tactics on weekdays."

"Together with the fire, we have the courage to rescue, depending on the fire situation, we will link with the inspectors, officials, Baojia, and Huimin Pharmacies, and all departments will cooperate closely to rescue people's property and transport water to extinguish fires; vigilance and pressure to maintain order; To achieve this goal, we need not only power but also welfare. ”

"The inspection department has a bonus, and there must be a bonus for rescuing, and the county government is responsible for food and lodging, and the bonus for 55 water dragon members is paid by the people of the county every month for each household to collect a penny. In addition, there should also be a commissioner to clean the streets, Zou Zhi County, there are many workers who win Changsheng, and those cities in the Ming Dynasty are very different in the composition of the people. ”

When he said this, Chen Mu was directing the banner army operating the Fire Dragon Gun in the northern suburbs of Changsheng County to spray flames into a tall cactus on the soil slope.

The fire dragon gun is wooden, wrapped in thin iron in the spout, and an iron ring is attached to it, which contains a disposable tinder holder that can be fixed, and the inside of the nozzle is a double-barrel structure for secondary spraying - no way, this thing is a one-time use, a tube is a fire dragon, and you always have to go left and right when you fight, right?

That's what Chen Mu thought, so he asked the craftsman to make an internal double-barrel structure, and it seemed that the effect was not bad, at least when dealing with targets between ten and twenty steps, the effect had been able to meet his expectations.

The sturdy banner army was draped in a soaked quilt and carried a five-pack wooden fierce fire backpack, and the heavy fire dragon gun stepped forward, and when he reached the right position, he tied up his horse and pushed the gun out, and the fire oil was squeezed and quickly spewed out of the gun, and after ignition, it burned to the cactus wearing armor and clothing with a terrible wind.

However, the arc of the flame in the air seemed to be a little lacking, and it fell three steps in front of the cactus, leaving a fierce line of fire on the ground, and the fire was fast and unextinguished, and the black smoke of a large amount of oil burning rose into the sky.

The flag army seemed to have been prepared for this, and was not annoyed, carrying the fire dragon gun on the arched thigh, and turned his head to Chen Mu and the others: "Report to the commander, the fire dragon really needs to practice, don't go straight to the target, if you don't hit it lightly, you will burn your body if it is heavy, you should raise the mouth of the gun a few inches before it can be hit!" ”

Chen Mu originally wanted the flag army to use distilled fuel oil as fuel, but it turned out that the effect was not good, and it was difficult to adhere, resulting in low lethality and low relative density, which would also make the injection distance closer.

What's more, the best oil for distillation is too pure, and the impurities are low and there is no black smoke when burned...... Chen Mu felt that it was too unimpressive.

This kind of powerful weapon, when it burns, it will be a miasma of smoke and used to scare people!

Their flamethrower is a specially selected strong man in the army, in the past in the South Seas is the front of the battle array, the fire dragon gun has high requirements for the user's strength, no strength will further reduce the already close range, if the fuel affects the range again, this is to fight their own weapons.

Chen Mu nodded: "Very good, burn it again." ”

The fire on the ground had slowly diminished and tended to extinguish within a few breaths, and it could not burn long on the loess without attachment, and when the flamethrower raised the mouth of the gun for the second time and spewed out flames, the flames drew an arc and landed accurately on the cactus target, and the cactus wrapped in clothing and armor was instantly engulfed by fire and smoke.

"This is a good weapon, lethal and feasible, what is needed now is to make it more reliable in design, there will not be such a stable chance of firing on the battlefield, just our tinder frame, before the fire is spewed, it will fall off, splashing other people's oil."

Chen Mu's words made Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Shizhen and several old craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau laugh, nothing more than big and small movements, they all knew very well that 'splashing other people's oil' was a very likely reality, and it couldn't even be said to be an accident, after all, their tinder structure and even the whole weapon were indeed very sloppy.

What this kind of weapon with great power, amazing damage, and easy damage needs most is nothing else, but stability, and only stability can ensure that it will not accidentally injure one's own people, which is more important than hurting others.

"When the new design is preliminarily completed, the next war will allow the firefighters to be hidden in the hands of the guns, I still believe that there is no army in the world that can face my banner army face to face and not be defeated ten steps away, if there is, send them to Emperor Taizu with a fire dragon before they charge."

Beckoning the flag army to put the fire dragon gun aside and unload the heavy wet quilt, Chen Mu instructed Zhao and Zou: "Not only should we compile the water pressure book, but also compile it together with the air pressure, we also have some understanding of the air pressure, and we must pave the way for future generations." ”
