Just do what he said. After deciding to make a gun, Lin Shuhang stopped asking for other people's opinions and immediately started planning various matters for making weapons.
It was the rainy season in the Fuhe Rainforest. Considering the ever-changing climate here, Lin Shuhang felt it was necessary to build a small arsenal for himself before building a gun.
The scale of this arsenal does not need to be very large, as long as it can protect yourself and the crazy general from wind and rain, because if you don't have a quiet working environment, you will easily be disturbed by other things, which is not conducive to work.
"Crazy General, let's settle here for a while." Lin Shuhang said to the Crazy General on the side: "I want to develop a powerful offensive weapon here. This weapon is of great significance to us. After I succeed in the research,
Let’s get out of here.”
"Roar!" the mad general roared.
Although I don't know what kind of powerful weapon the master is talking about, as his subordinate, no matter what the master is studying, I, as a follower, will be duty-bound to support him.
"It's the rainy season now, and the weather is uncertain. For our health, we have to build a house here." Lin Shuhang looked around and found that it was good to build an arsenal here, so he gave instructions to the crazy general: "
Crazy General, go and get some big trees and leaves, and we will build a factory here."
"Roar!" the mad general responded, and went into the forest to find the wood needed to build an arsenal.
In the desolate and inhabited prehistoric continent, a huge size still has many benefits. At least when cutting trees, there is no need to use logging tools such as axes and saws. It can break large trees entirely by relying on its own weight.
"Plop...boom!"
"Plop...boom!" The sound of the mad general hitting the tree with his body was heard in the forest, which was deafening.
The Crazy General, which weighs more than 40 tons, is a powerful logging machine in the forest. Almost no tree can survive its impact for three times without falling. If so, it will hit it three more times!
Soon, the crazy general obtained the wood needed to build the arsenal, all of which were large trees dozens of meters tall.
In fact, calling it an "arsenal" is not that exaggerated. The arsenal is just Lin Shuhang's personal name. To put it bluntly, this arsenal used to make homemade weapons is just a simple outdoor wooden shed.
The construction of the wooden shed is simple and crude.
Choose a high-lying open space, insert four wooden pillars into the ground, put wooden beams on them, and cover the spaces between the beams with thatch, leaves, etc., and a simple studio that can block the rain but not the wind is built.
Already.
The "prehistoric arsenal" built by Lin Shuhang is located on a higher ground in the Fuhe Rainforest.
The main reason why he chose this place is that it has a ventilated environment, a good view, and no potential threats such as stagnant water, mudslides, landslides, etc. This is the experience he has accumulated from living outdoors for a long time, and it is very effective.
In order to prevent being disturbed by some uninvited guests during the work, after the wooden shed was built, Lin Shuhang ordered the mad general to build a simple wall with stones and big trees around the wooden shed. This was in a dangerous wilderness, and for those who like to stay at night
Lounging animals must be guarded against.
This wall is 50 meters high. From a human perspective, it is like a huge ancient city wall, which is shocking!
In fact, this city wall built of stone and wood is much more shocking than the city wall. You must know that the tallest city wall in ancient mankind, the Nanjing City Wall, is only 14-21 meters high.
One can imagine how incredible Lin Shuhang's prehistoric arsenal is in the eyes of humans.
"It seems that I have to stay here for a few days!" Lin Shuhang said.
After building his own prehistoric arsenal, Lin Shuhang didn't bother to rest and immediately started his plan to build his own gun without stopping.
In his plan, he will spend 10 to 20 days researching and manufacturing firearms that can fire exploding jujube seeds.
As mentioned before, the seed structure of the bursting jujube is very special. There is a 5-liter cavity inside the seed. This cavity contains a large amount of high-pressure gas. Through the exhaust hole at the tail, the bursting jujube can be launched like a rocket.
Take off.
In other words, a firearm that can fire exploding date seeds is no more complicated than a firearm that fires gunpowder bullets. On the contrary, the structure of such a gun should be very simple.
To put it simply, this kind of gun that can fire plant bullets is like a human recoilless rifle. Lin Shuhang only needs to make a barrel and a set of "ignition" switches. It is much simpler than making a real firearm.
.
It's just that because we live in desolate prehistory, making a stone ax, let alone a gun barrel, requires a lot of energy and time. But Lin Shuhang has plenty of time.
According to his estimation, it will take at least three to five years for human civilization to fully develop. He has enough time to rule the Titan continent and establish a Titan empire of his own.
"I want to make a gun barrel!" Lin Shuhang said.
If the bullet is the soul of the gun, then the barrel is the body that carries the soul.
Of course, the harder the material used to make the barrel, the better, because a gun is a commonly used weapon that requires frequent shooting of bullets. If the material used to make the barrel is too soft, it will easily wear out the barrel after long-term shooting, which is very dangerous.
One thing. Therefore, for your own safety, the gun barrel must meet the three basic standards of wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and high hardness.
Lin Shuhang's first thought was to use metal to make gun barrels, because in the history of human warfare, metal gun barrels have always been the mainstream equipment.
However, Lin Shuhang gave up this idea in the end, because after considering the actual situation, he realized how stupid his idea was.
You know, this is desolate prehistory!
It is not that there is no metal here, but the metal here is in the form of iron powder buried deep under the ground. If you want to use metal to make gun barrels, you must first mine iron ore and then smelt the metal.
For Lin Shuhang, the amount of this project is too huge. You must know that it took thousands of years for human civilization to transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age!
Therefore, at this stage, he does not have the ability to smelt metal and can only use other materials to replace metal to make gun barrels.
"Why not use bamboo?" someone suggested.
"Bamboo?" Lin Shuhang was stunned.
"I think it's feasible to use bamboo to make gun barrels." The man said, "Have you ever seen a recoilless rifle? The plant bullets have their own flight power. There shouldn't be any big problem with using bamboo as the barrel.
The launch system is a bit complicated and needs to be developed by yourself."
"That seems reasonable? Give it a try!" Lin Shuhang accepted the audience's suggestion and decided to use bamboo to make the barrel of the gun.
