The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated through the glass windows of the academy and reflected the faces of the students. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Explaining the problem of steel-shelled bullets, Xiao Ming explained the problem of the bottom edge taper of the bullet, the disadvantage of steel-shell bullets is that they are easy to jam, and changing the bottom edge taper can improve this shortcoming.

Of course, this is only an improvement, in addition to the problem of determining the steel shell bullet, he also settled on the bullet of the lead core copper carapace and the copper primer, these two materials cannot be replaced by steel.

For the production of this bullet, Xiao Ming did not set the standard too high, because the use of copper-shelled bullets in this era is a waste, and the production of rough firearms is very easy, even if the damage rate is greater because of the use of steel-shelled bullets, which is also one of the reasons why he chose copper-shelled bullets.

"Your Majesty, the production of this metal bullet is a big project."

Lin Wentao couldn't help but shake his head when he walked to Xiao Ming's side, the machinery involved in the afternoon explanation was complex and diverse, and it was not something that could be achieved overnight.

Xiao Ming understood what Lin Wentao meant, he said: "Some of the machinery in the machinery factory can be handed over to other students, you are a top mechanical talent, of course you have to focus on the most difficult place, I know that this set of production machinery is difficult, so I give you time, but not too long." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, after going back, the lower officials will hand over everything that can be handed over and concentrate on studying this matter." Lin Wentao bowed and said.

Song Changping said: "As soon as the metal bullet comes out, the firearm will definitely undergo a big change, which is really exciting. ”

"That's right, Your Majesty, this bullet and cannonball are the same thing, bullets can use metal shells, and cannonballs are the same, the lower officials are suddenly enlightened, and the cannonballs should also change like bullets, so that the difficulty of breech guns will be solved."

Chen Qi laughed as he spoke.

Xiao Ming showed a hint of a smile, the industrial base has accumulated to a certain extent, and the explosion of science and technology is an inevitable result.

He gave Chen Qi an approving look, and then said to Song Changping: "Once the metal bullets can be produced, your military factory will give me the kind of sharp weapon to deal with cavalry, and this cannot be delayed." ”

Song Changping's spirit was shocked, he understood what Xiao Ming meant, this weapon that could be fired continuously was actually in his imagination until it was affirmed by Xiao Ming.

"Keep in mind the lower officials." Song Changping said.

After chatting with a few people again, Xiao Ming returned to the palace, he had already given the general plan for today, and the rest needed to be practiced by Lin Wentao and others.

In addition to the metal bullets that appeared with the electricity era, Xiao Ming now has many things that can use electricity, such as radios, telephones, and cameras, but these things obviously need to be done step by step.

……

London, United Kingdom.

At a time when the Great Chongqing Kingdom was cheering for the advent of the electricity age, the scientific and technological development here never stopped, and while the steam engine was popularized in various industries in the United Kingdom, more research on the steam engine was also underway.

However, the arrival of the defectors of the Great Chongqing Kingdom clearly showed signs of speeding up the process, which was heartened by the aristocracy throughout England, especially with their successful imitation of the conscription rifle and fuse.

"It's shocking that a small change in the shape of the bullet can make such a change in the musket, and maybe we can send the rebels in the North American colonies to hell with this new batch of weapons and shells." Foreign Secretary Paston was confident after watching the Redwoods rehearse their brand-new muskets.

Kodia stood beside Patton, and he said solemnly: "I think the most critical issue now is not North America, but the current relationship between Britain and the Great Chongqing Kingdom, in my opinion, we should abandon the current hostile relationship with the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and seek to improve relations with the Great Chongqing Kingdom to promote the development of British science and technology, there is no doubt that the technology of the Great Chongqing Kingdom has been ahead of us in some aspects." ”

"Oh, forget it, Kodia, you are a good scientist, but not a politician, if the world's colonies are the cake, then now the world's cake is basically divided by Europe, so the rise of the industrial country of Dayu will inevitably come to rob us of the cake, this is the irreconcilable contradiction between us and nothing else, because once we lose all the colonies, the interests of Britain will be seriously damaged."

"Can the struggle for interests between nations end only in war?"

"That's pretty much." Patton's expression was a little solemn.

The entire British aristocracy was uneasy about the rise of the Eastern Empire, and at the same time unable to judge the next move of the empire.

Like disrupting Europe, they instinctively wanted to use other countries to slow down the rise of the Great Chongqing State, but the Great Chongqing State thwarted their plots again and again.

The only thing to be thankful for now is that the Great Chongqing Kingdom is too far away from them, and they still have plenty of time to prepare.

"So it's impossible to send some people to study in Dayu?" Cordia had some regrets.

"No one would let a group of thieves into their homes to study, and now we are thieves in the eyes of the people of Chongqing." Paston shrugged.

Then he turned to Murphy, who was watching the excitement, "I think we should go and talk to Tsarist Russia, and let them go and cause some trouble for the people of Dayu." ”

"That's not necessary, they are greedy enough, and sooner or later there will be a conflict with the Great Yu Kingdom." Murphy was playing with the new musket, "We might be able to sell them some weapons then, and that's a sure deal." ”

Paston gave a thumbs up, "No wonder you are the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, I hope Tsarist Russia will not lose too badly." ”

After saying that, the two suddenly burst out laughing.

……

Morgan City.

Vasily wiped the blood from his knife, and at his feet three Kwantung fell in a pool of blood, from Nebuchu all the way to Morgan to establish a stronghold, on the way they burned and looted everything, in their eyes these natives were as uncivilized as the wild beasts of the forest, and they were very good at slaughtering these barbarian tribes.

This is how they seized Siberia, and now they are ordered to go south, and the rich lands here are about to become the territory of Tsarist Russia.

"Vasily, will what they say be true?"

A blond-haired and blue-eyed young man said to Vasily: "Just now they learned from the mouths of these three natives that there are troops with firearms stationed in the southern city of Jianzhou. ”

"Ivan, when did you start to become so timid, you haven't seen these indigenous armies, you can beat them everywhere with only five hundred people, and now the final question is how many things we can grab back, I don't want to come empty-handed this time." Vasily smiled grimly......
