I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

【Three-eye fire gun: a short firearm from the Ming Dynasty of China, forged and rolled from wrought iron】

【The shape is three bamboo-shaped single blunderbuss, with a small hole on the outside of each blunderbuss tube. When in use, add gunpowder to the gun tube, and finally fill it with steel balls or cast iron blocks, crushed iron sand, etc., add a match rope to the small hole, light the match rope when in use, detonate the loaded gunpowder to launch the projectile, and the three gun tubes can shoot in turn. 】

Li Shimin looked at the"three-eyed fire gun production drawing" in his hand with great treasure.

I feel very happy.

Fortunately, this kind of drawing does not appear in popular science content.

Otherwise, given the skills of the Tang Dynasty blacksmiths and the amount of gunpowder existing in the country, it is very likely that many three-eyed firecrackers would suddenly appear in a short period of time.

Today, there are such powerful firearms.

It's better to order someone to build it as soon as possible.

Li Shimin thought of Cheng Yaojin. At this time, he was probably still studying weapons from the Qin Dynasty.

But now there are weapons from the Ming Dynasty.

What kind of Qin Dynasty weapons are you studying!

Just think of this.

Li Shimin called to his side:"Here, call Duke Lu."

After a while.

Cheng Yaojin ran over with a decadent face.

He was a little embarrassed to face His Majesty.

I and a lot of officials couldn't understand the structural principles of weapons during the Qin Dynasty.

Just a picture on the light screen at that time.

There is no way to create the real thing!

Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and said:"Your Majesty, I am ashamed."

Li Shimin seemed to have discovered something, his face remained as usual, and he smiled and replied:"I am not asking for guilt."

"It just so happens that I just got a blueprint for a firearm."

"You quickly lead people to create the real thing"

"If you can't do it this time, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed when he heard this.

He swept away the dejection on his face.

With the detailed drawings, it still can't be built.

He can really commit suicide by throwing himself into the river!

"Yes, Your Majesty!

Without saying much, he hugged the drawings and left.

Li Shimin sat comfortably on the chair and made a cup of tea.

He was about to taste it carefully.

A guard hurriedly came to report

"Report! His Majesty"

"Tibetan envoys came to demand money"

"He, he claimed that he wanted it for Princess Wencheng."

Li Shimin suddenly stood up.

He had previously sent troops to attack Tubo, but they were defeated.

However, in order to stabilize Tubo and prevent them from causing trouble on the border, he still married Princess Wencheng to them.

For Datang at that time , , this matter is very embarrassing.

It is clear that he won, but it is the same as losing.

Now it seems that the effect of this trick is average, and it is easy for others to get in trouble!

Li Shimin was completely angry!

At first, it was the Tang Dynasty's weakness, but now it has Different from the past!

"Your Majesty, should you send them away?"The guard saw something wrong with His Majesty's face and immediately asked.

Li Shimin suppressed his murderous intention and replied with a smile:

"No, send a minister to deal with them"

"Any conditions they propose can be negotiated. When the time comes, I will send Duke Lu personally to deliver the gold and silver treasures to them."

The guard nodded doubtfully.

Something is wrong with His Majesty today!

On the other side, the Tibetan envoy laughed so hard that he laughed

"Hahaha, the Tang Dynasty really didn’t dare to start a war with Tibet, so it could only agree to our request and come back next month to ask for it again"

"..."

Two days later.

Cheng Yaojin ran to Li Shimin's residence excitedly early in the morning.

When they met, they knelt down and shouted:"Your Majesty, I have made a three-eyed fire gun!"

"I personally tried it, and it is very powerful."

"It can shoot projectiles and swing it to hit people!"

"Soldiers can use it skillfully after a few days of training. Hearing this ,

Li Shimin's sleepiness immediately dissipated.

He pressed Cheng Yaojin's shoulder excitedly,"Well done, let's make 10,000 sets immediately.""

"Seven days later, you take these ten thousand fire guns and go to give gifts to Tubo!"

"Remember, wait until you go"

"When you come back, don’t come back empty-handed!"

"Also, it’s time to bring Princess Wencheng back, she has suffered a lot."

Cheng Yaojin was stunned.

Ah?

Your Majesty, is this a gift? He asked me to rob him!

But you can't violate your orders.

He also wants to try what it feels like to rob others.

Just in time, he also tried it.

He invented it How effective was the"Molotov cocktail"?

The two continued to discuss the details of the operation for a while.

Until half a month later, a piece of news that shocked the whole country came out

: In the name of giving gifts, Lu Guogong burned down the Tubo palace at night, rescued Princess Wencheng, and killed Princess Wencheng. There are more than 50,000 enemy troops!

This news spread quickly throughout the country.

The people held celebrations and celebrated grandly. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【Popular science on the history of the development of human weapons】

【2: Science popularization in the era of combining hot and cold weapons is completed】

【Three minutes later, the era of popular science and weapons began. 】

Time fleeting

【Popular science continues】

【Three: The era of hot weapons】

【With the continuous development of productivity, thermal weapons began to gradually occupy the historical stage. Among them, the development of firearms is the most representative.

The development process of firearms can be divided into three stages from the perspective of their use: the front-loading gun period, the rear-loading gun period, and the automatic loading period.】

【muzzleloader era】

【1. Burst gun】

【The Chinese invented gunpowder. Naturally, they were the first to put gunpowder into the battlefield.】

【According to historical records, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty (1259), China first used a musket with a barrel made of bamboo and black powder to fire small projectiles. This is the earliest tubular shooting firearm in the world.】

【2. Fire system】

【The true barrel guns first appeared at the end of the 13th century. These early fire systems can only be called fire systems. They were very light and had a small caliber. The range of these earliest barrel firearms was quite short, only a few meters, and the spray they produced was only flames and iron sand. But no matter what, in principle, these crude weapons were the ancestors of countless firearms for hundreds of years to come. The emergence of large-caliber artillery in China was already at the end of the Yuan Dynasty】

【3. Fire door gun】

【The Mongols' Western Expedition brought terror and massacre from East Asia to West Asia and to the shores of the Mediterranean. But the expedition brought not only blood. At the same time, China's advanced technology was also brought to the West. The Arabs must have invented the motor before Europeans started using firearms】

【The word madafa is the Arabic name for an infantry hand cannon.】

【Different from the hand cannon used by cavalry, the motor method is designed for infantry. Therefore, the gun body is fixed on a thick and long wooden stick. When using it, hold the gun body with your left hand and clamp the wooden stick under your arm. Then use a piece of Coal, a length of match rope or a piece of red-hot metal are inserted into the fire door to ignite the gunpowder. This is the prototype of the fire door gun.】

【4. Matchlock gun】[]

【The biggest disadvantage of the fire door gun is that it cannot maintain aim while firing. Therefore, in the early 15th century, someone made some modifications to the motor method: the fire door was moved from the top to the right, and a lever was added. The top of the lever was a clip that fixed a length of match rope. A small bowl-shaped brass vessel protrudes from the fire door. It can hold a small amount of gunpowder as an initiator.】

【This kind of musket is called a hook gun because the butt is hook-shaped. But it is translated as an open musket. Although it only has a front sight, no rear sight, and no trigger. It requires the thumb of the right hand to press the lever to ignite and launch. But that was the first time. A firearm that can be fired over the shoulder and maintained aimed during firing】

【Moreover, due to the invention of granular gunpowder, the power and accuracy of projectiles have been greatly improved.】

【In the middle of the 15th century, it was extended below the lever. According to the structure of the crossbow, the trigger was made and the rear sight was set. In the early 16th century, a more complete sliding chamber matchlock gun was born.】

【5.Flintlock gun】

【In the early 6th century, with the development of clocks and other mechanical processes, some whimsical inventors tried to use these machines in firearms. The revolver pistol was born.】

【The so-called revolver fire pistol is to replace the matchlock clip of the ordinary matchlock pistol with a snail-shaped spring and a large metal runner. Use the right thumb to pull the hammer. The spring is tightened. When the trigger is pulled, the spring drives the rotation. The wheel rotates at high speed. The friction spring piece or other metal piece on the fire door emits sparks for ignition.】

【This mechanism is complex, expensive, and difficult to repair. The price is 2 to 3 times that of a matchlock machine. But it is gorgeous and easy to use. Because of its expense and complexity, infantrymen have never been willing to adopt it. However, the technology of revolver muskets has always been used on pistols.】

【The name of the true flintlock gun comes from its flintlock bolt. This bolt is simplified from the flint-ignited revolving musket. Its mechanical structure is very similar to the later matchlock gun. But the flintlock gun The fire sickle is also the cover of the fire door. A more powerful hammer spring is also used to ensure sufficient impact force.】

【Compared with the matchlock gun, the biggest advantage of the flintlock gun is that not only do you not have to worry about the light of the burning matchlock and the unique smell of the matchlock exposing the target at night, but also the firing rate is faster, the caliber is smaller, the gun body is shorter, and the weight is lighter. Less recoil and higher range】

【The above are all front-chamber muskets, and most of them are sliding chamber types. With the update of technology, the loading speed of front-loading guns is increasingly unable to keep up with the speed of the battlefield. The hit accuracy of smooth-bore guns is also difficult to meet the requirements. A more advanced Accurate firearms are born】

【breechloader era】

【At the end of the 18th century, a new era of firearms revolution arrived】

【In 1779, the Chinese invented mercury fulminate】

【Soon, Scotsman Alexander Forsyth invented the flash cap, which was the two biggest advancements for firearms before the emergence of fixed-loading ammunition: from now on, gunners no longer have to worry about being unable to fire due to moisture or rain. , you only need to put the flash cap on the fire door, and then pull the hammer to strike to ignite. Then came the fixed-loading bullets that integrated the warhead, propellant and paper cartridge case with metal primer.】

【In the first half of the 19th century, the Prussian N. Dreser invented the breech-loading striker gun, which was a real revolution.】

【This gun was first equipped with the Prussian army in 1840. At that time, the Prussians regarded it as the most advanced secret weapon. It was not made public until 1848. It enabled the firing rate of the line neck gun to reach 1-2 rounds per minute, and the rear chamber gun Compared with the front gun, it finally allows soldiers to reload ammunition while lying down or prostrate, while the front gun has to be loaded while standing, not to mention that the range and speed of the cavity exceed that of the musket】

【At this point, the firearm is basically finalized】

【Later development was nothing more than making a fuss about increasing the rate of fire, improving accuracy, and increasing the degree of automation.】

【Automatic gun era】

【In order to further improve the shooting power of firearms, the earliest method is to install many barrels on a mount and use sequential firing or salvo firing to increase the combat rate of fire.】

【In 1833, Maxim, an American, used the gunpowder gas in his neck as power, adopted the short-recoil automatic principle of the barrel, and supplied ammunition with a cloth bullet chain, which increased the theoretical rate of fire to 600/min and allowed for long-term continuous shooting, becoming the world's first gun. A successful automatic weapon】

【In World War I, Germany used Maxim machine guns to inflict 6 divisions of casualties on the French allied forces. Therefore, starting in the early 20th century, various countries competed to successfully develop machine guns, pistols and rifles with different automatic principles and structures.】

【According to the statistics】

【Only in the records of relevant wars】

【The Maxim machine gun killed at least more than one million people!】

【It is a veritable battlefield harvester!】

【And it is also a unique weapon that completely ends the era of cavalry.】

【Since the advent of the Maxim machine gun, the nomads who used to be ferocious and cruel have gradually put away their bad temper.】

【They began to become hospitable and good at singing and dancing...】 hiss!!!

People of all dynasties and generations cannot understand or understand the popular science mentioned above at all.

But the last few paragraphs piqued their interest.

Let the prairie people become hospitable, good at singing and dancing!! ?

This is not a joke.

They have something to do with hospitality!

Being able to sing and dance may be true. at the same time.

They had a heated discussion

"Maxim machine gun! Could it be the name of a certain Bodhisattva? After civilizing the prairie people, did they change their ways?"

"Well, it seems like this to me"

"This Bodhisattva Maxim has really done a great thing. I want to set up a memorial tablet for him."

"Yes, this Maxim Bodhisattva deserves to enjoy the Ancestral Temple!"....force..
