I was a village chief in a primitive society

"Alan, take these drawings to the people in the workshop for study, remember to tell them."

Su Bai handed over the drawing and continued:"The production principle is actually the same as that of a musket, but what should be paid attention to is the production of the artillery barrel......."

He carefully told the cat-eared girl what to pay attention to. This was not a simple matter.

You must clearly explain everything that may happen and what you need to pay attention to, so as not to make any mistakes.

"I understand, but making such a large artillery must require a lot of iron ore."Sha Lan looked at the drawing again.

Even though it was the second time she saw the drawing, she still felt very shocked. All the details on it were painted in great detail.

Even when she, a layman, saw this drawing, Everyone knows what kind of process it is.

Not to mention that the workshop has already made muskets. They will find it simpler and clearer when they look at this picture.

The only difficulty is probably the experiment and production, again. , theory and practice are two different things

"The iron ore used to make one cannon can be used to make dozens of muskets, so it is indeed a waste of iron ore."

Su Bai took a sip of tea and continued to warn:"But don't put pressure on them. Make sure they are steady and don't worry about wasting iron ore."

Of course he is worried about the consumption of iron ore. After all, a very large amount of iron ore has not been discovered yet.

But there is nothing that can be done now. Who makes people in the primitive era understand nothing, so they can only let them try step by step. Wrong.

Only by slowly cultivating their abilities and knowledge in the early stage will they be able to help more when the tribe grows stronger.

"I understand, I believe they will also bring good news to Wu. Sha Lan nodded.

"With the steam engine, it shouldn't be too difficult to make the artillery barrel."Su Bai has high hopes for the people in the workshop.

Anyway, he has already drawn the artillery production process in great detail. The people in the workshop only need to follow the steps step by step.

Of course, it does not say that the production process will be different. It's very simple. He will also give the people in the workshop time to experiment.

After all, practice is the truth. How can you determine the quality of something that has not been tested?

"Wu, after we have artillery, do we use explosive bags to detonate it? Sha Lan asked curiously.

She heard Su Bai explain the principle of artillery, which means that when the fuse is burned to a certain level, the shells in the artillery barrel will be ejected. All

Mao Er can think of is explosives. The bag also needs to light the fuse. Can it be put into the artillery barrel after lighting the fuse?

"We don't need to use explosives, we need to use different weapons."Su Bai put down the tea cup

"Different weapons? Sha Lan said doubtfully.

"Wu, isn’t this weapon particularly handsome? Yanhua asked impatiently.

Niujiao Niang heard Su Bai mention the word handsome before, and finally realized that this word can be used to describe many different states.

So sometimes Yanhua would always say something in the tribe. vocabulary that people don’t understand because she thinks it’s so funny

"It can be said that this weapon is specially adapted to the artillery."Su Bai smiled and said

"Wu, what kind of weapon is that? Is it the same weapon as a bullet? Sha Lan asked curiously

"Almost the same, but this weapon is round, and the bullet is long, so the power of the two is different......."Su Bai explained simply.

The weapon he is talking about is ammunition, a round, black ammunition whose explosive power can be said to be dozens of times that of a bullet.

"It turns out to be round ammunition. Wu, is it particularly difficult to make this kind of ammunition?"Yanhua asked with her neck tilted.

The Horn Girl listened with great interest and found the knowledge very interesting. She was already very shocked when she heard about the artillery, and now she was even more fascinated when she heard about the ammunition.

It was written all over her face. Full of expectations, as if I heard something incredible

"It’s not particularly difficult, you just need to prepare the materials. Making it is almost the same as an explosive pack. Su Bai crossed his legs and continued to explain:"

Actually, there are two different mentality. One is a big iron ball, which relies on kinetic energy and potential energy to hit people and things. This kind of ammunition cannot explode."

"Wu, can the other one explode?"Yanhua kept blinking her red eyes.

"Yes, the other way is to use a round model, put all the explosive materials inside to make a round bomb, and then project it through the artillery to explode......"Su Bai continued to explain

"Wu, if according to what you said, this ammunition does not have a fuse, then how can it explode after being projected?"Yanhua continued to ask.

When Su Bai explained the principles of artillery, she listened very intently and did not miss any part that she did not understand.

Just like the two types of ammunition, both types of ammunition did not have an external fuse. Yes, there is a very obvious difference from the explosive bag.

That's why the horn lady was confused. Before, the fuse had to catch fire and the flames burned the things inside the explosive bag to produce an explosive reaction.

"Wu, I also have a question, that is, if we put ammunition into the artillery barrel, won't the ammunition explode inside the artillery barrel?"

Shalan pointed her chin with her index finger, with a puzzled expression on her face. She felt that the principle of artillery was a bit strange.

"This is a good question. Let me answer Ahua's question first. The reason why the artillery can explode without a fuse is because of the fuze problem."

Su Bai looked at Niujiao Niang and continued:"We can fill the interior with explosives. The shell is detonated by igniting the internal black powder through a slowly burning tube......."

He explained in detail why the explosive exploded when it flew out, and his explanation was a bit professional at the beginning.

In the end, it slowly started to become vernacular again, because he was afraid that Yanhua would not understand, so he spoke a little more plainly.

Su Bai originally wanted to explain that some cannonballs explode only when they hit an object, but in the end he decided not to.

On the other side of the earth, cannonballs that explode when they hit an object did not appear until modern times.

This principle is to fill it with gunpowder that is not resistant to strong earthquakes, and when it hits the target, the gunpowder is detonated by the impact generated by the hit.

But this trigger condition needs to be able to withstand the vibration when firing, otherwise it will be useless.

"Now let's solve Alan's doubts. The reason why the shell will not explode inside the barrel is because the structure of the shell is actually relatively complicated. Su

Bai took a sip of water and continued:"There are not only explosives that produce explosive power, but more importantly, the fuse.""

He recounted the knowledge from books he had read before in one breath, but it was still a bit difficult to say it in his own words now..........................................
