【Chapter 661】Thor's Fury

(0661) [Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

However, I don't know if God deliberately couldn't get along with Xu Xingxia, after investing a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, there was still no improvement. Wang Zheng They were tired and half dead every day, but they never had decent results. Wang Zheng almost broke down.

After being busy for a few months, Xu Xingxia himself was a little depressed. Could it be that there is really no substitute for mercury in the world? Apart from thundermercury, there is really no other substance that can hit the fire? Paralyzing, this is absolutely impossible! In the world, it is absolutely impossible that only thundermercury can be used to make a fire cap! Every time he was in a bad mood, Xu Xingxia went to Mrs. Lin's mother and daughter to vent. Pity Mrs. Lin, who was once high, graceful, dignified and virtuous, and no one could blaspheme, completely became a slave to be slaughtered in front of Xu Xingxia. Every time she has to put on the underwear with the most surname, she shows the steps in front of Xu Xingxia, and at the end, she naturally uses her cherry mouth to meet Xu Xingxia's **. Over time, her ventriloquist has become more and more proficient.

On this day, Xu Xingxia, who was in a depressed mood, was ruining Mrs. Lin again. Under his rough caressing, Mrs. Lin's underwear has been taken off. Poor her, like a little sheep who has fallen into the depths of a trap, except to be obedient is obedient. Even she felt that her chastity could not be kept. Looking at Xu Xingxia's meaning, most of them want to really possess her today. She helplessly lay on the soft couch, obediently cocked her plump buttocks, and just waited for Xu Xingxia to enter from behind.

"My lord, there is news of Lei Mercury!" Suddenly, someone came to report.

Xu Xingxia, who was on the line, suddenly disappeared, and no longer played with Mrs. Lin's interest. He put on his clothes and rode back to the lab. As a result, he was shocked to find that there was already a surge of people here. Almost all the people from the Science and Technology Division gathered here, and it was more lively than the New Year.

"Your Excellency!"

"It's done! It's done! ”

"My lord, there is a substitute for thundermercury!"

"Look, my lord, this is it! That's it! ”

When Wang Zheng saw Xu Xingxia appear, he was like a child, and he couldn't wait to scream. Behind him, on the lab table, there was a pile of gray-white crystals. At a great distance, you can smell the stench emanating from the crystals. This is an alternative to mine mercury. But what exactly it is and what the chemical formula is, no one knows.

"Tried it all? Can it really explode by impact? Xu Xingxia asked with concern. He came to the front of the gray-white crystal, leaned down, and studied it carefully. Vaguely, this gray-white crystal looks quite sensitive. However, I have to say that this crystal smells really bad and makes people vomit.

In fact, Xu Xingxia is not sure whether it will be the real thunder mercury. Perhaps, the people in the laboratory, by mistake, invented the real thunder mercury. Of course, it is possible that it is a substitute for the mercury of the greater the surname. After all, there are countless types of substances in nature, and it is not surprising that there are substances similar in nature to the chemical name of thundermercury. For example, thunder silver is a good substitute for thunder mercury. It's just that its manufacturing process is more complicated than thunder mercury, so Xu Xingxia never dared to attack the idea of thunder and silver.

However, it doesn't matter. As long as it can be successfully detonated by friction or impact, it is what Xu Xingxia needs to find. It doesn't matter if it's mine mercury or something else. Anyway, with it, the problem of the fire cap is solved. The problem of the fire cap was solved, and the whole problem of the breech gun was solved.

Wang Zheng said excitedly: "Please give it a name!" ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Since it's not thunder mercury, then let's call it the wrath of the thunder god!" ”

The appearance of this gray-white crystal will usher in a completely new era, an era of breech guns. It is like lightning bolts, splitting the heavens and the earth to create a new world. It's not an exaggeration to name it Wrath of Thor. However, this is not the true meaning of Thor's Fury. As long as there is a breech gun, whoever provokes the white-clothed army will receive a thunderous blow. This is the real Thor's Fury!

Wang Zheng and the others looked at each other, what a thunder god's wrath! When this white crystal explodes, it is indeed quite spectacular. However, isn't the name of this Thor's Fury a bit exaggerated? If you want to talk about the real Thor's Fury, it should also be white explosives. When the white explosives explode, that's what makes it powerful! The most violent lightning bolts are not as destructive as white explosives. However, since Xu Xingxia has spoken, it will be called Thor's Fury.

"Start researching the fire cap now!" Xu Xingxia gave a categorical order while the iron was hot.

At the time of the order, he could already foresee that the first breech-loading gun of the white-clothed army would soon appear. This is definitely an epoch-making weapon. From the Mini gun to the breech gun, this is a qualitative leap for the absolute surname, and it is an irreplaceable progress. Sure enough, by the beginning of August, the first breech gun with experimental surnames was officially launched. The corresponding bullets are also all in place.

If Xu Xingxia wanted to use any appropriate words to describe the first breech gun that appeared in this world, all he could think of was stupid, big black and coarse. Yes, it's really silly, big, dark, and thick. At a glance, it is simply too far from the shape of the rifle of later generations. If the rifle of later generations were designed like this, the designer would definitely be scolded for being brainless.

However, it was designed entirely according to Xu Xingxia's requirements. All of its indicators were determined by Xu Xingxia himself: a Han-style rifle, caliber 8 mm, smokeless propellant, metal bullets, a ten-round magazine, a rear end lock, a rotating manual bolt, four rifling, and an effective range of more than 500 meters. Xu Xingxia's design requirements, the Han-style rifle has achieved all of them. It's just that the details haven't been corrected yet, so it will look stupid and coarse.

In terms of specific data, the total length of the Han-style rifle is more than 3 feet 8 inches (about 1.267 meters), and if you add the bayonet that is 1 foot 5 inches (about 0.5 meters) long, the total length is more than 5 feet 3 inches (about 1.767 meters), which is almost taller than an adult. At that time, the average height of adults was actually less than 1.7 meters. In the rifles of later generations, there may only be the length of the 38 big covers of the devil, which can be compared with the Han-style rifle.

Originally, Xu Xingxia didn't want the barrel to be so long. The barrel is too long and cumbersome. It's a pity that the barrel rifling technology at that time was not up to par, and if the barrel was too short, the accuracy of shooting could not be guaranteed. In addition, a little longer barrel is also advantageous for fighting bayonets. After the bayonet was attached to the Han-style rifle, it could almost be used as a spear. Of course, fighting bayonets was definitely not Xu Xingxia's original intention. The Han-style rifle he designed was not designed to fight bayonets.

What's worse is that this stupid black and thick rifle is quite heavy. Not counting the bayonet, it weighs twelve pounds. If the bayonet is installed, the total weight is more than fourteen pounds. The rifles of later generations, not counting bayonets, were generally only about eight catties. An ordinary bayonet weighs only a pound. It was more than half the weight of later rifles. Ordinary people must feel heavy in their hands, and they can barely grasp it with one hand.

The reason for the serious weight exceedance, of course, is that the quality of the steel is not up to par, and more steel needs to be used to ensure safety. For example, the barrel was at least twice as thick as most rifles of later generations. Later generations of Hanyang made, why is it called the old sleeve? It was because the quality of domestic steel at that time was not up to standard and could not meet the needs of the barrel, so it was necessary to put another layer of steel on the outside of the barrel to ensure safety. The same is true for other constructs. In this way, the weight of the gun will definitely increase.

Frankly speaking, Xu Xingxia's research and development of breech guns does have a bit of a taste of learning to run before he knows how to walk. The industrial technology of that time did not meet the requirements for breech guns. For example, the most critical steel for the barrel is completely ahead of the times. All of this was forced out by Xu Xingxia at all. To put it mildly, this kind of Han-style rifle is a freak that Xu Xingxia made up with all his might. It's stupid, it's completely caused by poor technology.

Of course, none of these are critical issues. With the continuous improvement and progress of technology, the problem of stupidity will gradually improve. The key question is whether its range, its accuracy, its practical surname, its ease of use, and its maintenance meet the needs of the white army. As long as it can be put into actual combat, everything else is not a problem.

You must know that the soldiers of the white-clothed army have no culture, and they definitely don't understand high-end weapons. The simpler and more practical the weapon, the better. Therefore, it is not a problem to be stupid and black, the key is to be simple and easy to use, and simple to maintain. If you put it more bluntly, you can smash it casually, drop it casually, and throw it in the water casually, and it will not be damaged. When necessary, it can even be used as a hammer, a hammer, or a bench.

The first batch of Han-style rifles used as experiments soon came to the test area. A squad of soldiers of the Chasseurs was honored to be the first gunners in the world to test breech guns. They are still curious about this new weapon. The structural principle of the Han-style rifle is completely different from the Yueyue gun they used before. In accordance with Xu Xingxia's request, they fired non-stop at the sample guns in batches.

Xu Xingxia was next to him, personally testing various data.

Next to Xu Xingxia, there are naturally more testers, recording the data of the Han-style rifle from various angles, analyzing and researching it, finding out the reasons, and thinking about solutions in order to correct the next batch of sample guns. With Xu Xingxia personally sitting here, the people in the Science and Technology Department dare not have the slightest neglect. If you don't take the chairman seriously, you will be disgusted.
