Zhang Hao stayed at the beach until noon and then left. There was no problem at the scene, so Zhang Hao was relieved. And Zhang Hao still had many important things to do.
After a hasty lunch, Zhang Hao inspected the artillery production base.
Because of the emergence of mercury fulminate, the artillery shell needs to be redesigned. The primer system can be simplified a lot. The warhead no longer needs to be equipped with three sets of collision devices, one set is enough.
Also, as the primer system becomes more sensitive, the cumbersome crossbow arm at the rear of the artillery can be eliminated and replaced with a better spring. Fortunately, the artillery design leaves room for modification.
Because of the simplification of the system, a "twin gun" design began to appear. This was prepared for battleships.
Then Zhang Hao visited the newly established 'gun research group'. Considering the power of cultivators, Zhang Hao suggested that the caliber of the gun be 30 mm, which is the caliber of a machine gun. The diameter of the bullet is 3 cm and the length is about 18 to 20 cm.
The warhead is made of steel, and the outside is plated with copper or lead as a lubricant and sealant for the barrel.
In addition, the barrel length of this gun is tentatively set at about two meters. As long as the explosive power is sufficient, the longer the barrel, the faster the bullet exits the chamber, and the greater the power.
As soon as he started researching guns, Zhang Hao proposed the concept of machine guns. These areas must be exploited, and there is no time to dawdle. Technology can be accumulated, and these ideas can be promoted a little. The reaction force of bullets and explosives is used as the driving force of the machine gun.
The emergence of mercury fulminate made this possible.
Designed simultaneously with the twin guns, there are also twin machine guns.
After inspecting this place, Zhang Hao went to the place where torpedoes were studied. The research on torpedoes is the most difficult. It needs to be launched from underwater, sealed, propelled with gunpowder, etc., and needs to be re-researched. This kind of research is very unfamiliar.
However, one benefit of practicing in the world of cultivation is that the torpedo can increase the water repellent formation to reduce resistance.
Torpedoes are not difficult in theory. After Zhang Hao gave everyone's approval, he came to the most important part. This is the research project led by Huang Mingshan himself to add formations to bullets and cannonballs!
In the past, excellent arrows, crossbows, etc. needed to be attached with formations, which could increase the armor-breaking properties, forbidden-breaking properties, etc. of the arrows. However, the operation of formations requires energy. Before each arrow is shot, the archer will
Inject a burst of true essence into the arrow to stimulate the formation. This true essence is only effective for about the time of a cup of tea, but it is enough.
But when it comes to artillery, problems begin to arise. The artillery shells can also be attached with formations, or a little bit of real energy can be input manually. But the efficiency is too low, and the firing process will affect the stability of the formation.
Also, in the current artillery shell production process, tens of thousands are produced, and so far the formations require manual seal engraving! Efficiency is very problematic.
In mortars, this disadvantage cannot be ignored. Let’s not talk about whether the shell engraving formation can keep up. Just the speed at which the gunner injects energy into the shells cannot keep up with the firing speed of the shells. Often after more than a dozen shells are fired,
, a gunner fell down from exhaustion.
Now that the research on firearms is on track, the Zhang family is in urgent need of a mechanized formation seal carving tool and a new method of injecting spiritual energy!
This is a world of cultivation, and war is full of barriers. If the bullets do not have the ability to break through barriers and break armor, the effectiveness of this gun will be greatly reduced.
Especially now that other countries are also beginning to study steel battleships, the defense of battleships will become more and more powerful in the future. Battleships made entirely of dark iron or steel can increase their defense capabilities to the limit. Even if they are all defense during the Qi Refining Period
, tens of thousands of them stacked up are enough to make the Nascent Soul stage despair.
If the Zhang family cannot make a breakthrough in weapons technology, Zhang Hao can almost see what will happen in the future. Everyone will attack like crazy, but neither side's attacks will be able to break through the defense. Thinking about it makes me feel sad...
And in the future, regardless of cannonballs, bullets, or even crossbow bolts, as war begins to shift toward mechanization, the efficiency of hand-made formations is far from meeting the needs of war.
Take bullets for example. Hundreds of thousands of bullets can be fired in a war, just like playing. If machine guns are successfully researched, one person can shoot tens of thousands of bullets in a day.
It would be unimaginable if each bullet had to be carved by hand with a formation. And the bullets are so small, it would definitely be a difficult job to carve a formation on them.
And when fighting, who would have the guts to fire bullets and inject spiritual energy into the bullets at the same time!
So Zhang Hao naturally thought of using technology to solve the problem. Naturally, this public relations research was left to Huang Mingshan.
Huang Mingshan lived up to his expectations, and Zhang Hao had already found a solution when he came! However, for now it is just theory and research plan, and it will take time to materialize it.
Huang Mingshan talked about "First use inferior, unquenched steel to make a steel bar with a diameter of about 31 mm, and then extrusion and stamping it into a warhead. The extrusion mold is made of excellent quenched steel. This process will leave a mark on the warhead of the bullet.
Lower formation pattern.
Then enter the next step, through a chemical replacement reaction, a layer of high-purity red copper is left on the surface of the warhead. Through the replacement reaction, the purity of the red copper can reach more than 999! It can transmit spiritual energy well and is very stable.
Finally, the bullet enters the machine tool for milling, and the coating on the surface is milled away, leaving only the coating in the pattern, and then a layer of lead is coated as a lubricant and sealant to reshape the fluid structure on the surface of the bullet. Finally, it is finished and shaped."
"On the gun, we added a spirit gathering array. In order to achieve better results, we used medium-grade spiritual stones as energy sources and made the spirit gathering array with Hunyuan fine gold. After the bullet is loaded, the spirit gathering array can automatically inject the bullet into the gun.
Aura, inspire formation!"
"But everything is a design and plan. It is expected that it will take about a month to produce the guns and bullets. As for the cannonballs, as long as the bullets are successful, the cannonballs are expected to be successful in more than ten days!"
Zhang Hao was overjoyed and praised Huang Mingshan and others on the spot, and gave generous rewards.
But to be honest, Huang Mingshan and others no longer care about these rewards. After seeing the world of science, Huang Mingshan and others want to study the secrets of this world! With the rise of the round earth theory, Huang Mingshan and others are more interested in science and technology.
Interest became more intense.
Of course, for the sake of scientific research, Huang Mingshan and others did not fall behind in their cultivation; even because they had goals in life and established great ambitions, which invisibly elevated their state of mind, it took Huang Mingshan and others less than a year to reach the level of cultivation.
The peak of the Qi stage. After accumulating for a period of time, you can enter the foundation building stage.
Zhang Hao saw the eyes of Huang Mingshan and others gleaming. After thinking for a while, he finally took out a new plan: Hot Air Balloon Plan, Telescope Plan!
"No rush, you take a look first and think about it in your spare time. Get the bullets and cannonballs ready first. In addition, you focus on the three types of guns.
One is an ordinary gun, used by ordinary soldiers. The bullet caliber may not be 30 mm, maybe 10 mm is enough.
One is a rapid-fire gun, which can fire continuously like a repeating crossbow; in the design, the recoil of gunpowder can be used to drive the spring to form a continuous fire.
One is a sniper rifle. This kind of sniper rifle may need to use special bullets, specifically for sniping at the Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage. The bullets can be made of the highest quality steel, the formation pattern can be made of Hunyuan fine gold, etc. The bullet range
It needs to be far enough away, the further away the better. Maybe you can put a telescope on a sniper rifle.
In short, we need a trump card."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he turned around and left gracefully. There were still more things to do. For example, he made an agreement with the Xuanzhen Sect to build 10 120,000-ton steel giant ships in exchange for the Xuanzhen Sect’s help in cultivating 1,400 Yuan Ying early stages and 300 yuan.
The master of mid-infancy.
After Zhang Hao summoned everyone and announced the matter at another shareholders' meeting, everyone was shocked.
Zhang Hao finally said, "Everyone, I call this the 1,700 Nascent Soul Plan. This will be an important step in the rise of Dayang Group!
We have ten days to gather the first batch of people. Their cultivation level needs to reach the late stage of the Golden Core, preferably the peak of the Golden Core. The Xuanzhen Sect will use one year to send them to the Nascent Soul stage, and they will be the kind with stable foundations.
!”
Everyone was in an uproar. The success rate of those who want to reach the Nascent Soul stage in the Golden Elixir stage is not high. Don't look at the Xuanzhen Sect's more than 300 disciples who have slipped out of the late Golden Elixir and peak stages in one go. That is the accumulation of the entire Xuanzhen Sect.
The Xuanzhen Sect selects its disciples very strictly. It selects its disciples from the entire west of the Fertile Continent. It is truly a one-in-a-million selection.
As for everyone, the ones in the late and peak golden elixir stages in your hands probably belong to the ranks of crooked melons and cracked jujubes. If you barely reach the late golden elixir stage or the peak, you don’t know how much hardship you have suffered, how many hidden wounds are left in your body, and some people have even already
Too old!
Under natural conditions, the possibility of these people breaking through the Nascent Soul stage is less than one percent, or even one thousandth, or even lower!
So after hearing Zhang Hao's words, everyone's shock can be imagined. Many people were even moved on the spot. They were stuck in the late stage or peak state of Jindan. If they could break through the Nascent Soul stage, wouldn't it be possible?
How many years to live?
Get excited!
Zhang Hao saw everyone's performance in his eyes. After a while, Zhang Hao said again, "Quiet! Listen to me!"
After a pause, Zhang Hao said, "Everyone, I have a suggestion. I hope you will consider it. Leave this opportunity to relatively young people! We have to think about the future. For those who are old, we should leave the opportunity to them.
descendants.
Of course, this is just a suggestion and not a requirement.”
"The lifespan of a cultivator is roughly fifty or sixty years for ordinary people, and rarely exceeds 70 years old. It is about a hundred years in the foundation stage, two hundred years in the golden elixir stage, and five hundred years in the Nascent Soul stage.
But this is only a theoretical life. In fact, the life is much shorter. It is generally believed that the life after breakthrough is directly related to the remaining life of the previous level. There is also a calculation formula.
For example, the theoretical lifespan of the golden elixir stage is about 200 years. If a person breaks through the golden elixir stage at a young age, such as 30 years old, then his remaining lifespan in the golden elixir stage is 170 years. Remember, 170 years.
If he can break through the Nascent Soul stage again within 50 years, he will be 80 years old now; his remaining lifespan in the Golden Elixir stage will be 120 years, 120 years!
Then after he enters the Nascent Soul stage, his remaining life span is about 5003050)x120÷170) years, which is about 296 years, which is about 300 years of life! This formula is not very accurate, but it is widely recognized.
Therefore, if he is an old person in the Golden Core stage, even if he is lucky enough to enter the Nascent Soul stage, his lifespan will still be very short.
Therefore, I hope that everyone will give more of this opportunity to young people. I know that this will be unfair to some old people who have been silently contributing, but if we give these opportunities to the old people, it will be good for young people and for everyone.
The future is the greatest irresponsibility.
Young people are our future!”
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, everyone suddenly stopped talking. What Zhang Hao said makes sense, but... being reasonable does not mean it is easy to implement. As Zhang Hao said, many old people have already paid so much. If they are not allowed to have this opportunity,
Somewhat unfair.
But if such an opportunity is given to the elderly, what will the young people do?
From the perspective of interests, this matter is very simple. But from the perspective of human relationships, this matter is a mess. And it is impossible for people to be ungrateful!
Zhang Hao continued, “The 1,700 Nascent Soul stages include 1,400 early Nascent Soul stages and 300 mid-Nascent Soul stages. One middle Nascent Soul stage counts as two early Nascent Soul stages, which means a total of 2,000 places.
The allocation ratio of quotas is divided according to shares. For every 0.05 shares, one quota is calculated."
As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, Li Yousheng said, "Our Li family holds 023 shares. How to calculate the shares less than 005?"
Someone else cried and said, "We have a total of 0031 shares, what should we do..."
