Steel Dynasty - Chapter 932

[Chapter 927 Butterfly Wings]

The afterglow of the setting sun penetrated the glass windows of the school and reflected the faces of all the students red.

After explaining the problem of steel-cased bullets, Xiao Ming also explained the problem of the taper of the bottom edge of the bullet. The disadvantage of steel-cased bullets is that they are easy to jam. Changing the taper of the bottom edge can improve this shortcoming.

Of course, this was only an improvement. In addition to determining the problem of steel-cased bullets, he also determined the lead-core copper-cased warhead and copper primer. These two materials cannot be replaced by steel.

For the production of bullets this time, Xiao Ming did not set the standard too high, because using copper-cased bullets in this era is a waste, and it is easy to produce rough firearms. Even if the damage rate of steel-cased bullets is higher, it does not matter. This is one reason why he chose copper-cased bullets.

“Your Majesty, the production of this metal bullet is a big project.”

Lin Wentao couldn’t help but shook his head when he walked to Xiao Ming. The machinery involved in the afternoon explanation was complex and diverse, and this could not be achieved overnight.

Xiao Ming understood what Lin Wentao meant, and he said: “Some of the machinery in the machinery factory can be handed over to other students. You are a top mechanical talent, so of course you have to focus on the most difficult places. I know this set of production Mechanical work is difficult, so I will give you time, but not for too long.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, I will hand over everything I can after I return, and concentrate on studying this matter.” Lin Wentao bowed and said.

Song Changping said: “Once the metal bullets are released, firearms will definitely undergo major changes. This is really exciting.”

“Yes, Your Majesty, these bullets and cannonballs are the same. Bullets can be made of metal shells, and the same goes for cannonballs. “Xiaguan now suddenly realizes that the cannonballs should also change like bullets. In this way, the difficulty of the breech-loaded cannon will be solved.”

Chen Qi laughed as he said it.

Xiao Ming showed a smile. When the industrial base has been accumulated to a certain extent, the explosion of science and technology is an inevitable result.

He gave Chen Qi an approving look, and then said to Song Changping: “As soon as metal bullets can be produced, your military factory will give me sharp weapons to deal with cavalry. This cannot be delayed.”

Song Changping was shocked. He understood that Xiao What Ming meant was that this kind of weapon that could be fired continuously had actually been in his mind until it was confirmed by Xiao Ming.

“I will keep this in mind,” Song Changping said.

After chatting with a few people again, Xiao Ming returned to the palace. He had already given the general plan for today, and the rest needed to be implemented by Lin Wentao and others.

In addition to the metal bullets that appeared with the electric age, Xiao Ming now has many things that can use electricity, such as radios, phones, and cameras, but these things obviously need to be developed step by step.

……

London, England.

While Great Chongqing is cheering for the advent of the electric age, the development of science and technology here has never stopped. While steam engines are becoming popular in various industries in the UK, more research on steam engines is also underway.

However, the arrival of defectors from the Great Chongqing Kingdom obviously showed signs of accelerating the process, which excited the entire British aristocracy, especially their successful imitation of prisoner rifles and fuses.

“It is really shocking that a small change in the shape of the bullet can make such a change in the musket. Maybe we can use this new batch of weapons and shells to send the rebels in the North American colonies to hell.” Foreign Secretary Pa Stone was confident after watching the Redwood Army practice their new muskets.

Cordia stood beside Paston, and he said solemnly: “I think the most critical issue now is not North America, but the relationship between Britain and Great Chongqing. In my opinion, we should give up the current situation. We have a hostile relationship with Great Chongqing and seek to improve relations with Great Chongqing to promote the development of British science and technology. There is no doubt that Great Chongqing’s technology is already ahead of us in some aspects.”

“Oh, forget it. Cordia, you are an excellent scientist, but not a politician. If the colonies in the world are cakes, then the cakes in the world are basically divided by Europe, so the rise of the industrial country of Dayu will definitely come to rob us. Eat the cake, this is the irreconcilable conflict between us, because once we lose all the colonies, Britain’s interests will be seriously damaged

. Is the war over? “

“That’s basically true.” Paston looked a little solemn.

In fact, the entire British aristocracy is now very uneasy about the rise of this Eastern Empire, and at the same time, they are unable to judge the next move of this Empire.

Just like disrupting Europe, they instinctively want to use other countries to hold back the rise of Great Yu, but Great Yu has thwarted their plots time and time again.

The only good thing now is that the country of Chongqing is too far away from them, and they still have plenty of time to prepare.

“So it’s impossible to send some people to study in Great Chongqing?” Kedia was a little regretful.

“No one would let a group of thieves enter their home to study. Now we are thieves in the eyes of the people of Chongqing.” Paston shrugged.

Then he turned to Murphy, who was watching the excitement, “I think we should go talk to Tsarist Russia and let them create some trouble for the people of Great Chongqing.”

“That’s not necessary, they are greedy enough, and sooner or later there will be a conflict with Great Chongqing. “Murphy was playing with the new muskets, “We may be able to sell them some weapons then. This is a sure-profit deal.”

Paston gave a thumbs up, “No wonder you are British .

Prime Minister, I hope Tsarist Russia will not lose too badly.”

After saying that, the two suddenly laughed.

…

Morgan City.

Vasily wiped the blood on his knife, and three Guandong people fell in a pool of blood at his feet. From Nerchinsk all the way to Morgan to establish a stronghold, they burned, killed, and looted everything on the way. In their eyes, these natives and The wild beasts in the forest are still uncivilized, and they are very good at killing these barbaric tribes.

Because this is how they captured Siberia, and now they are ordered to go south, and the rich land here will soon become the territory of Tsarist Russia.

“Vasily, are what they said true?”

A young man with blond hair and blue eyes said to Vasily: “They just learned from these three natives that there are troops with firearms stationed in Jianzhou City in the south.”

” Ivan, when did you start to become so cowardly? It’s not like you haven’t seen these indigenous armies before. It only takes 500 people to beat them everywhere. The most important question now is how much we can steal. Go back, I don’t want to come empty-handed this time.” Vasily smiled grimly…
