The court meeting in the imperial court ended in peace. Chongzhen was naturally happy to receive the only good news in the past few months. If the emperor was happy, Yang Sichang was also happy. Naturally, he would not neglect the intensity of this award, and soon
The messenger sent from the capital set off together with the rewards.
And what is Pang Gang doing at this time? At this time, our Comrade Pang Gang is improving the firearms at Wanghai Fort. In the battle outside Yangzhou City, the performance of the gunners was not satisfactory, and only one shot was fired every two minutes.
The rate of fire of one round caused unnecessary casualties to the soldiers. During the period when the Japanese pirates rushed from 150 steps to 30 steps, each of the gunners could only fire one and a half rounds. Pang Gang estimated that
However, if the firing rate of the sixty gunners at that time could be doubled, the casualties could be minimized or even zero casualties.
Although Pang Gang was not an ordnance expert before coming to the Ming Dynasty, he still knew some basic principles of firearms as he grew up in modern society. At this time, the gunpowder charge was still in the hands of the gunsmiths themselves.
In the stage of loading gunpowder, gunners can only rely on their own experience to fill gunpowder into the gun chamber during war. This method has a big drawback, that is, the personal preferences of soldiers are different.
The amount of gunpowder poured is also different, and the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Soldiers who can calmly load gunpowder and launch it calmly under the flying swords, guns and arrows need a very strong mental quality.
Once a soldier panics, his movements are easily distorted, so Pang Gang came up with the idea of fixed gunpowder. The so-called fixed gunpowder is to wrap a fixed amount of gunpowder and projectiles in a long paper tube.
When loading, bite open the paper tube with your mouth, first pour some gunpowder into the fire door, and then stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectiles into the gun mouth and you are done.
This not only ensures the power of the Rumi gun every time it is fired, but also greatly reduces the loading steps of gunpowder. Pang Gang personally found someone to try it. After using this charging method, it originally had to be fired every two minutes or even three minutes.
A gunner can fire at a rate of once a minute.
Pang Gang's "invention" also shocked the gunners. Only those gunners who have gone through the test of life and death can understand how many lives this humble little invention can save on the ever-changing battlefield.
Faced with the general praise from gunsmiths, Pang Gang is still not satisfied. Today's rifles are all muzzle-loading guns, made of pig iron or wrought iron. In addition, when loading muzzle-loading guns, in order to obtain good air-holding properties, the rifles must be
Gun bullets are often made with the same caliber or even slightly larger than the gun caliber.
Therefore, it is extremely laborious to load the bullet, and it is often necessary to use a hammer to hit the ejector rod to push the bullet into place, which often leads to a more dangerous bore rupture. When the bullet is pushed into the chamber, it is often deformed due to rough operation.
The killing effect cannot be achieved.
This is also one of the reasons why cold weapons were never eliminated before the emergence of breech-loading guns. As for the breech-loading guns that use metal bullet cases, Pang Gang has no hope now. That thing can only be invented after the emergence of mercury fulminate, and
It’s not in the “Encyclopedia of Modern Weapons” either. But there are also excellent muzzleloader guns, such as the ultimate muzzleloader weapon, the Minigun, which appears on the last page of the chapter on small arms!
This minigun is a good thing. Its rate of fire of three to five rounds per minute is definitely a nightmare for enemy infantry.
However, this thing that originally only appeared in the mid-18th century, like later ship artillery, required tungsten ore to be realized. Judging from the current situation, Pang Gang can only drool.
"Tungsten mine, tungsten mine, where are you?"
Pang Gang sighed softly, closed the "Encyclopedia of Modern Weapons", and carefully put it back into a specially made pocket on his body and tied it up. This was his biggest reliance in this era, and it was with him that Pang Gang just relied on him.
It can arm hundreds of soldiers in Wanghai Fort to the teeth. If it is lost, he will not have time to cry.
Pang Gang just put the books next to him. The door of the study room was gently pushed open, and a slender figure walked in lightly. She came to Pang Gang and said softly: "Chaodong, I'll put this on
The monthly output of cement plants and mines has been calculated, do you want to take a look?"
Pang Gang turned around and grabbed the visitor's hand, smiling and saying: "With a capable wife like you taking care of these things, do I still need to look at them?"
The visitor suddenly blushed with embarrassment, reached out and pushed him away and said: "Who is your wife? I...I haven't married you yet. Look at your shameless look.
If people saw it, they would laugh at me."
It turned out that the person who came in was Pang Gang's fiancée Kong Ruolan. Since she came to Wanghai Castle, the business acumen she had cultivated from her father and the surrounding environment had come into play, and she had given Pang the help in the operation and management of cement plants and mines.
Just some very reasonable and practical suggestions. This discovery surprised Pang Gang.
At present, Pang Gang lacks a person who is trustworthy and good at managing business. The emergence of Kong Ruolan just solved this problem, so Pang Gang handed over the management of the mine and cement plant to her. As the time between the two parties increased, the two
People's feelings are getting better and better, like honey mixed with oil.
Seeing Kong Ruolan's pretty face that was flushed with embarrassment and the way she was still irritated while trying to talk, Pang Gang felt itchy in his heart. He boldly hugged Kong Ruolan's weak and boneless waist, and immediately kissed the small cherry mouth in front of him.
As he kissed her, a burst of sweet fluid flowed into his mouth. This kiss was incredible, the kiss was like thunder and fire, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
Slowly, Pang Gang's hands couldn't help but move on Kong Ruolan's exquisite body. When Pang Gang wanted to make the next move, he was stopped.
Kong Ruolan's face turned red, she put her pink face in Ai Lang's arms and whispered softly: "Chaodong, when we become slaves, can I give them all to you? Now...it's not possible now,
If someone sees you, you will gossip."
When Pang Gang heard this, his face immediately wrinkled and he said with a grimace, "Then when will we get married?"
Kong Ruolan smiled, stretched out her slender fingers and gently scratched Pang Gang's face, and said with a smile: "You are really shameless. We won't be able to get married until next year at the earliest."
When Pang Gang heard this, he said with a bitter face: "It will take so long!"
Looking at Ailang's wrinkled face, Kong Ruolan couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She reached out and stroked Ailang's frown, and asked with some distress: "Chaodong, are you really feeling uncomfortable?"
"What do you think?" Pang Gang glared at Kong Ruolan angrily and murmured: "You can't eat just by looking at it. Isn't this asking for trouble?"
"Then..." Kong Ruolan hesitated for a moment, biting her teeth for a while before hesitatingly said: "If you are really uncomfortable...how about tonight?
Do you like it if Ling'er comes to sleep with you?"
"Uh...what? Let Ling'er come and sleep with me?" Even Pang Gang's shamelessness couldn't help being startled.
Pang Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked in a low voice: "Um... Is Ling'er too young? How old is he this year?"
"Ling'er is already fifteen this year, not young." Kong Ruolan gave Pang Gang a funny look, "Ling'er was originally the slave's personal maid, and in the future... she will also serve you in the future, but now I can't
It’s the same as serving you and letting Ling’er take your place. Ling’er has been well-behaved since she was a child..."
Although there was a hint of shyness in Kong Ruolan's words, her tone seemed very normal. The personal maids of this era were prepared to warm the bed of the young lady at home and the future uncle. Although Kong Ruolan and Ling'er grew up together,
She loves her sisters, but in the heart of this gentle-natured rich lady, it is natural for her personal maid to accompany her future husband-in-law to sleep with her. It is not surprising. This shows that the wealthy people in ancient times had
The attitude of a personal maid.
Pang Gang didn't hear the next words, he just stared blankly out of the window with a dull expression. Damn, the fifteen years Ruo Lan mentioned should be a false age. In terms of one year old, he is only fourteen. He is so young at this age.
In future generations, she would still be in the second grade of junior high school. If she fell in love with such a young loli in future generations, the police uncle would drag her buddies to target practice.
At this moment, Pang Gang couldn't help but picture that petite figure with big eyes, as pretty and lively as a happy little sparrow, as if he was chirping to himself, "Uncle!"
"No, brother, you can't do such an animal thing." Pang Gang shook his head vigorously, trying hard to drive that delicate figure out of his mind.
"Although there are no police officers to supervise you now, you have to have a bottom line as a human being. It's too bad to attack such a young girl. Even if you want to attack her, you have to wait until she is sixteen years old...
..”
At this time, Comrade Pang Gang felt that he was extremely great, almost comparable to Comrade Liu Xiahui in ancient times...
