At this time, the Yinzhou ship was equipped with artillery, which was already a breech-mounted rifled gun... This kind of advanced rifled gun would only appear almost more than a hundred years later. Regarding artillery, it has always been
There are two types of development, one is the smoothbore cannon, and the other is the rifled cannon. These two types of artillery have been changing throughout history. It is definitely not rigorous to say who is the most advanced. The main difference between smoothbore cannons and rifled cannons
Rifling. The main function of rifling is the ability of the warhead to rotate, so that after the warhead comes out of the chamber, it can still maintain the established direction due to the action of centripetal force to improve the hit rate.
but.
In fact, in order to improve the hit rate, smoothbore cannon shells with tail fins can also reach this small country. This is the case for mortar shells. However, the firing chamber pressure and temperature of mortars are relatively low.
The tail fin of the artillery shell is also relatively easy to manufacture. However, if it is used on a large-caliber artillery that requires higher firing chamber pressure and temperature, a relatively expensive cost must be used to manufacture the tail fin of the artillery shell.
This also greatly increases the cost of artillery.
Therefore, among various large-caliber artillery that are mainly used for long-range fire suppression, rifled guns with lower launch costs will still be used.
only.
Most of the rifled guns currently used in the world are front-loaded guns, which also made front-loaded guns almost dominate wars from the 16th century to the 19th century.
During this period, of course, breech rifled guns also appeared, but due to technical limitations, the leakage problem of red powder gas was difficult to solve.
Speaking of front-loaded artillery, the most famous one is naturally Liu Zheng's previous life, the great humiliation brought by the Qing Dynasty to Chinese civilization, the Battle of Bali Bridge. Including the Battle of Tanggu Fort, the British army only had twelve Armstrong cannons, ten
With the second gate, the entire Tanggu Fort was knocked down.
In the Battle of Baliqiao, the 10,000-strong British and French coalition used this cannon to inflict more than half of the 30,000-strong Qing army casualties, while only five of the British and French forces were killed and 47 wounded...
.
shame.
This is absolutely a shame for Chinese civilization.
Among the tasks assigned by Liu Zheng to Mo Chen, improving artillery has always been the top priority.
He knew that although the Armstrong artillery had shone brightly several times in the war of national humiliation at that time, in fact this rear-rifled gun was not particularly perfect. Because of the rifling, lead-coated shells and breech-loading occlusion design, the reliability was unreliable.
It was good, but problems repeatedly occurred. In the end, the British abandoned this kind of artillery and switched to the ancient front-loaded cannon.
so.
Yintan City, under accelerated scientific research technology, has developed a cross-wedge breech block with excellent airtightness, which has completely made the "Liangzhou Cannon", this advanced rear rifled cannon, truly mature.
And, began to try to equip it on the Yinzhou ship.
This kind of artillery.
How can the Hongyi cannon at this time be comparable?
Loggins began to realize in despair that his artillery could not hit the other party's ship because it was too far! But the other party's cannonballs had been able to accurately land on the dock a long time ago!
Boom boom boom boom!
The entire Tahiti has been bombarded by artillery fire, causing dust and chaos.
Loggins never thought about it before coming to Australia.
There can be such a powerful navy in this world!
It's actually possible, such a powerful artillery!
this......
Is it Dragon Flame?
"Back off, give me back everyone!"
Before the Yinzhou ship landed, Loggins was already going crazy.
retreat!
At this time, they were all exposed to the gunfire attack range of the Yinzhou ship, how dare they not retreat!
