Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 163 Explosive pack simulation, killing infantry, cavalry, and heavy cavalry

Before dark, this group of gunpowder masters had already made more than a dozen shaped explosive packets, all of which were strictly compacted and carefully wrapped in accordance with Zhang Yong's requirements, and the leads were also made of fine cotton thread.

"That's right! Pile all these prepared explosive bags in a dry place for me. Don't let them be exposed to the sun, and don't hit them with any iron objects. Don't let any sparks get on them. Do you understand?" Zhang Yong? said.

After all, safety comes first!
After returning to his residence that night, Zhang Yong began the intensive task of copying books again.

During this period of time, I was busy making explosive bags and heartless cannons during the day, and at night I had to copy out important information on my mobile phone.

It can be said that he is extremely tired, and even his newborn son only plays with it occasionally.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yong led a dozen gunpowder engineers, escorted by a large group of Mongolian guards, to leave Xuanhua Mansion, and came to an open site with a dozen explosive bags.

Soon herders arrived with more than 100 goats and sheep. These goats and sheep were all used for explosive experiments.

For the first experiment, Zhang Yong had no intention of calling Genghis Khan over to watch.

Because many things have not been determined yet, I am not 100% sure that it will be successful in the first experiment.

Zhang Yong first ordered the soldiers to dig an earth wall to buffer against the explosion, and the group of people watching the experiment stood behind the earth wall.

Then he used wood to make several dummies and fake horses as targets for the explosion, and placed them more than 200 meters away from himself and others.

After all preparations were in place, Zhang Yong found the blaster and handed the explosive pack to the other party.

"Remember the steps I taught you. Place the explosive package there, then light the fuse. Run towards me immediately. Look at my gestures. When I tell you to lie down, immediately hold your head with your hands and lie down. on the ground.

If you don't see my gesture, you will count silently in your mind. When you count to ten, you will find a position to pounce on it, then lie on the ground and hear the explosion before getting up. Do you understand? "Zhang Yong called over the blaster who was about to light the fuse and warned him repeatedly.

These things must be explained clearly, and no unexpected situations can occur during the experiment.

The demolitionist nodded, put on the iron helmet Zhang Yong gave him, and then ran into the distance, where Zhang Yong and a group of gunpowder masters, as well as a group of Mongolian cavalry patrolling nearby.

At this time, an iron helmet was also placed on each person's head. This was Zhang Yong's strong request. In the future, when doing this kind of operation, an iron helmet must be placed on the head.

Although a bit crude, this thing can save your life at critical moments.

Soon, the Demoman made a thumbs-up gesture to Zhang Yong from a distance, indicating that he was ready.

Zhang Yong also nodded and waved at the other party, indicating that the other party could start blasting operations.

After getting Zhang Yong's approval, the blaster took a deep breath and stretched the fuse strictly in accordance with Zhang Yong's instructions.

Then he took out the kindling he had with him, very carefully lit the fuse of the explosive package, and then turned around and ran away.

Counting to ten silently in his mind, and seeing Zhang Yong's lying down gesture, he immediately fell to the ground with his head in his hands.

Zhang Yong and others also quickly hid behind the mound, and the first explosion experiment began.

This time, there were no flaws in my production steps. The black powder used was also precisely formulated and proportioned, and there was no problem with the cotton thread that ignited it. There should be no reason for failure.

Boom!Boom!
There was a violent explosion, and the dummy and Trojan horse that were the target of the explosion were blown to pieces. There was even a section of the body that shot directly into the sky and flew more than ten meters before falling back down.

With the violent noise and the white smoke rising into the sky, the Demoman could clearly feel a violent shock wave coming from above his head. He pressed his helmet tightly and buried his head low.

The Mongolian soldiers next to them were calming their horses. The violent explosion just now shocked the cavalry and horses that followed, but their expressions were extremely frightened.

But fortunately, Zhang Yong had anticipated this in advance.All these war horses were tied to the horse bolts. Although they were frightened by the explosion, they did not break free and start hurting people, and were quickly calmed down by the Mongolian soldiers.

The first explosion obviously met Zhang Yong's expectations. It was an explosive bag weighing about fifteen kilograms, which translates into seven kilograms of explosives. It had not yet reached the ultimate limit of the explosive bag. It was just a small explosive bag. .

good!good!The explosion effect is good, if it explodes in the crowd.

Although it is not as powerful as TNT explosives, the shock wave formed is enough for a person to drink a pot, and you can increase the amount of the drug to about ten kilograms, which should be more powerful.

"Okay, that's awesome. What will happen if this blows up on someone?"

"This, this is a big killer!"

"If it contains enough medicine, even the city wall can be blown open."

"It's a bit difficult to blow up the city wall. It's not easy to send these things under the city wall and concentrate them." A group of gunpowder masters began to discuss.

They used to make gunpowder. Although they all knew the formula, the proportions were not as precise as what the Lord God Envoy said. The black gunpowder made according to this proportion.

The power is indeed much better than what they made.Whether it's explosive power or ignition power, nothing they can compare to.

"Not bad, let's continue the experiment. Next, we'll change to some real animals. You go and bring some goats and sheep." Zhang Yong took off his helmet, and after the white smoke dissipated, he looked at the explosion site and said.

Next, let's try to see what kind of effects will be produced on living animals after being hit by this explosive wave?
The effect of the first experiment was very good. First of all, the explosive pack was successfully produced, and its power cannot be overemphasized.

If you want to further increase the power of the explosion, you need to increase the amount of explosives.

Or use the crystal black powder in your book, and then add sugar to it to increase the combustion power and explosive ability.

To further increase the power, you can try to use a clay pot to hold the pressure, and use the fragments produced by the explosion of the clay pot to kill. However, those made of pottery fragments are not easy to carry with explosives and are prone to collisions.

Moreover, Zhang Yong doesn't plan to take out this kind of thing now. The lethality of this thing to the cavalry is too great.

Because you can also add some broken iron fragments inside to increase the power of the fragments' explosion.

This is the development in the direction of mines, but if you want to make mines, you still have to deal with electrodes, wires, detonators and other issues.

For now, explosive packs are the best choice, as they are too convenient to make.

Soon, under Zhang Yong's order, several goats and sheep were brought over and placed one meter, two meters, three meters, four meters, and five meters away from the explosion point.

To further measure the explosion accuracy, it is still the blaster who performs the task.

Soon, the second explosion test began.

With a violent explosion, the goats and sheep placed one meter away were blown to pieces without even screaming.

The broken sheep's head and hooves flew high into the sky, and the goats and sheep two meters away were directly knocked out by the shock wave. They were covered in blood. Even from a distance, Zhang Yong was sure that he would not survive.

The goats and sheep three meters away fell to the ground, twitched twice and then began to bleed all over their bodies.

The goat within four meters made a pitiful cry.

"Cotton! Cotton!"

The body was a bit black and gray, and some parts of the body were also affected by the stones produced by the explosion. The whole body was full of blood holes. After struggling for a while, he lay down on the ground.

The goats and sheep that were four meters away were left with arms and legs missing from the blast, and they kept screaming in agony.

The injuries to goats and sheep within a five-meter range are better than those within a four-meter range, but the situation is not very optimistic either.

After confirming that the explosion was over, Zhang Yong sent people to inspect the sheep and goats to confirm the extent of their injuries.

Then a new group of goats and sheep were brought over, and the third and fourth blasting experiments were carried out.

The distance of the experiment was once again increased, and various goat and sheep endurance experiments were conducted at six meters, seven meters, eight meters, or even in a semicircular zone.

Violent explosions were heard, and goats and sheep became glorious experimental victims and were killed.Then, Zhang Yong began to examine the carcasses of these sheep and goats, slicing open their bellies to check whether their internal organs had been damaged by the explosion shock wave.

The experiment lasted until the afternoon and hundreds of goats and sheep were killed. Only then did Zhang Yong order the experiment to be stopped.

The horses of the Mongolian cavalry were led further away and could not continue to explode like this. These horses would go crazy even if they were comforted by their riders.

"Sir, we should have succeeded. The power of this explosion is quite good." A gunpowder master came forward and said excitedly.

They have made a new weapon, and all of them participated in the production and know the recipe.

Next, they will be closely protected by Mongolia, and then they will start making this thing from generation to generation. It can be said that they don’t have to worry about it for the rest of their lives. The destructive power of this explosive pack is really too great, and it will definitely be closely protected by Genghis Khan. .

"Let's go back and make some more. In two days, the Khan will come over to see the power of the explosion. You can take those sheep that were killed at close range, rinse them, and let ordinary soldiers eat them. After all, they are all meat and cannot be wasted. Yes." Zhang Yong said.

More than a dozen explosions have used up all the explosive packets made by Zhang Yong, and some experimental data can be regarded as obtained.These experimental data were strictly recorded by Zhang Yong.

According to my own calculations, if an explosion occurs within one to three meters, then all enemies in the area should be.It will be blown to death immediately, with no possibility of survival.

At a distance of four to five meters, one will be seriously injured and cannot be treated. Even if he survives, he will become disabled and unable to go to the battlefield a second time.

Therefore, within five meters, there should be an absolute death range. If it is affected by the explosion within this range, it will be ten deaths and no life.Even if you don't die on the spot, you will die later due to excessive bleeding or shock wave damage to the internal organs.

The distance of six meters, seven meters, and eight meters after five meters will cause damage, but it is not fatal enough.

But with the backward medical technology of this era.

Zhang Yong felt that even if he could survive the impact of an explosion at this distance, there would be a high probability of death afterwards.

"Tomorrow I will teach you how to start making twenty kilograms of explosive bags. We will increase the charge by 1/3 and continue the experiment. Tomorrow we will make more than twenty explosive bags, and then prepare some cattle and horses for the experiment. Explosion experiment." Zhang Yong said.

The experimental data obtained today is not enough. Tomorrow we will make explosive bags and increase the explosive charge to the maximum ten kilograms.

Then experiments were conducted with horses and cows, two animals that are more capable of simulating injuries to the human body.

"Does the envoy use ordinary pack horses or war horses?" The Mongolian general responsible for assisting Zhang Yong's experiment came forward and asked.

At this moment, the fearless Mongolian general was trembling a little, with a frightened expression on his face.

After watching more than a dozen explosions in a row, the psychological impact on him was huge.

Even many Mongolian soldiers at the scene were frightened by the explosion and sat on the ground with weak legs.

"Well! Prepare some war horses and pack horses, put some iron armor on these war horses, and then put dummies on their backs.

I'm going to test this further by strapping raw pork on the dummies and then putting them in armor. "Zhang Yong thought for a moment and then said.

Today's experiment is only for infantry, and infantry without any armor.

If it is a cavalry on a horse, a heavy cavalry wearing armor.

So what kind of harm will they suffer?These must be clarified experimentally.

By tying pork on the dummy and putting armor on the outside of the pork, you can get very good experimental results.

"Master God Envoy, what do you mean, do you want me to find some pairs of armor? Do you want these sycophants to wear armor? You also need to tie raw pork on their bodies, and then cover the raw pork with them. Put on armor?" the Mongolian general asked with a surprised look on his face.

You actually need good armor to pretend to be a heavy cavalry, so you need good war horses?
The war horses haven't fought yet!These new armors haven't been used yet, why should they be blown up first?This made him feel a little distressed.

"That's right! I need detailed data. These things will be needed for future experiments. You sent a lot of people to prepare, and I need war horse armor." Zhang Yong said.

Where is this?After the heartless cannon is made, I will conduct experiments. At that time, hundreds of cattle, sheep, and horses may be needed at a time to assist in the experiment to test the explosive lethality of the projectiles.

"Sir, should I report this to the Great Khan?" the Mongolian general said.

"I will personally tell the Great Khan about this matter. After all the experiments are completed, I will ask the Great Khan to come over in person to see the power of the explosion. In the current experimental stage, you can just follow my words." Zhang Yong said.

"Okay! Lord God Envoy, there is no problem with the war horses, armor, dummies, and pork."

The next day, Zhang Yong began to intensively make a larger explosive package, this time a ten kilogram explosive package.

With their previous experience, these craftsmen were very skillful in making it. All they had to do was change a larger piece of cloth, fill it, compact it, and then wrap it.

In a whole day, they made more than 20 explosive bags of about ten kilograms.

On the third day, Zhang Yong first conducted an explosion experiment on cattle. The test method was exactly the same as that on sheep.

They also tied the limbs of some goats and then pushed them to the ground to reduce the damage after lying down.

Then there is the ordinary pack horse, with only a dummy strapped to its back and no armor, to imitate the explosive effect of the light cavalry.

Boom!Boom!
Fourth day.

Then Zhang Yong began to put on armor on the war horses, strap a dummy on the back, and strap raw pork on the dummy. After putting on the armor, he simulated it as a heavy cavalry, and conducted another explosion experiment.

This time, three armored war horse dummies were arranged within a range of five meters to conduct an explosion experiment.

With a violent explosion, the war horse fell down with a scream, and the dummy on it was also rushed away.

After confirming the safety, Zhang Yong immediately stepped forward to check.At this time, the hides of the three horses in the center of the explosion all suffered varying degrees of damage.

But the armor did bear some of the damage. None of the horses died on the spot, but kept screaming.

Then Zhang Yong turned the dummy over to check. The pork inside was extremely hot, and the entire meat essence was blown up by the shock wave.The pork on the most distant dummy has been completely cooked. It can be confirmed that if they are hit by the explosion at this distance, they will die.

But the third dummy was three meters away. Not only was the horse sitting on it fine, but the fake kernels on it were not too damaged, and the pork was even a little cold.

After recording the experimental results, Zhang Yong immediately arranged the second and third experiments in full swing.

The cost of several days of experiments was that hundreds of horses, draft horses, more than 300 goats and sheep, and more than 50 cattle were killed by Zhang Yong.

In the past few days, because of Zhang Yong's frequent explosion experiments, the entire Xuanhua Mansion residents were in panic, thinking that some thunder god was punishing them.

Zhang Yong also obtained a set of relatively rigorous experimental data.

Ten kilograms of explosives.

It is slightly less lethal to heavy armored cavalry, but based on the center point of the explosion, death will definitely occur within three meters. However, beyond this distance, heavy armored cavalry can withstand part of the damage.

However, he will still be seriously injured by the shock wave, and it is difficult to say whether he will survive afterwards.

It can cause very good damage to light armored cavalry or ordinary infantry.

The explosion radius of this lethal force is within eight meters, and the explosive charge of ten kilograms will produce an explosion and shock wave, if you don't lie down.

Then everyone within this distance will be killed. Even if they do not die on the spot, they will die afterwards due to ineffective rescue.

If you lie down, as long as you are four or five meters away and wear a helmet, you will not suffer much harm.
