"This is a little troublesome, but I think you can distribute a large number of flags to the ground, or something else. Because I have no choice." Shang Wen said.
"En. Then I'll go to the Heavenly Army to see what new tricks they have." Wang Jian said.
"I think you should go and have a look. And look at the subjects they train, so that they can arrange exercises." Shang Wen said.
"Well, thank you Mr. Qin for your guidance." Wang Jian said.
"Pointing is not counted, it can only be counted as thinking of something." Shang Wen replied.
"By the way, have you made the exercise plan now?" Shang Wen asked.
"Plan?" Wang Jian asked.
"Yes, it's the plan, for example, when and where the various arms of the army will be, and which troops will be involved. And how to conduct the exercise, who will play the role of the blue army and who will play the role of the red army. How to judge during the exercise. And so on." Shang Wen said.
"That's right, I came back to ask this question after I came back from the Heavenly Army," Wang Jian said.
"Then I'll go and see the laboratory. Can you solve the open space connection. Otherwise, there will be big trouble." Shang Wen said.
Saying that, Shang Wen and Wang Jian bid farewell to each other.Shangwen is going to the laboratory to try to find something useful.But think about what can be produced now, the lack of materials has reached an astonishing level, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.It is impossible to have a whole body of knowledge without materials.
Shang Wen felt a headache when he thought of this.Signal bombs and smoke bombs cannot be manufactured, but fireworks bombs can be manufactured.Originally, this belonged to the festival celebration, but now it can only be borrowed temporarily.However, this requires a lot of paper, and now I am in a hurry to use it, so I can't manage so much.If you can, the work of seeking other material will begin later.
As soon as Shang Wen arrived at the laboratory, he found a person waiting there quietly.a stranger.Shangwen didn't recognize it.But judging by his attire, he was from the army.
"You are?" Shang Wen asked.
"Reporting sir, I am the Engineering Academy of the Army Military Academy, and my subordinate is Cao Xin. There is something under my subordinate that I need to check." Cao Xin said.
"What? Sit down." Shang Wen pointed to the spring sofa in the laboratory and said.
"Don't dare. This thing was obtained by my subordinates using nitric acid, sulfuric acid and mercury." Cao Xin said.
"Lei Mercury." Shang Wen said in surprise.
"What? What did your lord say?" Cao Xin asked.
"Thundermercury is obtained from the reaction of two acids and mercury. This thing is extremely sensitive and can explode. Where is it?" Shang Wen asked.
"Don't be afraid, my lord, I found out that this thing will not explode easily if it is placed in grease." Cao Xin said.
"Hey." Shang Wen smiled.
"My lord suspects that my subordinates are joking." Cao Xin asked a little at a loss.
"No, no, no." Shangwen waved his hand in a gesture.
"I'm glad that adding oil, fat or paraffin can passivate this thunderbolt, that is, reduce its sensitivity. Moreover, this thundermercury has been passivated well. It can greatly change the status quo of guns. As Shang Wen said, he put his hands on Cao Xin's shoulders and pressed him on the sofa. Cao Xin was so scared by the elasticity of the sofa that he didn't dare to sit on it.
"It's okay, it's a sofa, it's more comfortable to sit on." Shang Wen said.Cao Xin boldly sat down.
"Do you need something to drink?" Shangwen asked.
"No, no, this subordinate is not thirsty." Cao Xin said cautiously.Shangwen had no choice but to pour a glass of water.Pass it to Cao Xin.Thank you Cao Xin.Shangwen waved his hand to show that you are welcome.
"Modern muskets are all flintlock guns, and it is troublesome to reload, especially when reloading propellant powder. If the flint and other things are not replaced in time, the musket will fail to fire. This is very bad." Shang Wen sat Come down and say.
"Now with Thunder Mercury, this problem can be solved very well. After a certain passivation treatment, this thing is made into a cap, and our musket can be changed to a percussion type. In this way, the firing speed is faster and the reloading is faster. It's also very simple." Shang Wen said.
"Really, my lord." Cao Xin said excitedly.
"Really, moreover, if this thing is made into a detonator, it can be made into a detonating device. It has a wide range of uses." Shang Wen said.
"That, that's great." Cao Xin said.
"This is considered an invention of yours. Go back and find Master Meng Yimeng to fill out the form. Apply for a patent, and if you still want to research, try to avoid places with many people and pay special attention to safety. This thing is not a child's play. If there is any movement, it will explode, and the temper is very uncomfortable. Just like the last time, you engineering students did it." Shang Wen said.
"No more. We must pay attention." Cao Xin said.
"They developed it too fast. They actually developed nitroglycerin, and the explosion power of that thing is more than ten times that of black powder." Shang Wen said.
"Last time, our engineer brothers made trouble for the adults." Cao Xin said with some guilt.
"It's nothing, you should be encouraged and respected. Explosives are different from other things. They are too dangerous. They will explode at every turn, and they are powerful. You should pay attention." Shang Wen said.
"By the way. There are still some things, you can take them back and have a look. Be sure to keep it confidential. This is confidential information." Shang Wen said and took out the manuscript.
"This is all the information on explosives that I wrote. After you have read the above, you will put it away and hand it to me. You will record all the above in your mind. Don't tell it. Collect the experimental materials yourself. Some You should also record the data, so that you can look it up later." As he spoke, Shang Wen took out some notebooks and pencils and handed them to Cao Xin.
"The things you make must be kept strictly confidential. Remember to keep it secret." Shang Wen repeatedly asked.
"Yes, sir. This subordinate understands." Cao Xin said seriously.
"En. After these explosive things are ready, they will be properly preserved. Forget it. Leave these things to me for preservation." Shangwen said.
"Okay. You can go to Mr. Meng to fill out the form." Shang Wen said and waved his hand.
292 Before exercise
Shangwen watched Cao Xin leave, and opened the things Cao Xin brought.Looking at the color, Shangwen knew that the thunder mercury he got was a rough product.taupe.It's not the kind of white Jing products.
But that's enough.At the very least, the musket enters the percussion state from the flintlock, and the real bullet is about to appear.The age of guns is also approaching.Shang Wen took good care of these things.Then go to the fireworks.
The strong light of fireworks comes from those chemically active metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, zirconium and other powders.These metal powders combine with oxygen in the air, burn violently, and the temperature can reach more than [-] degrees, so they emit dazzling light.These metal powders are called luminescent agents.As for the colorfulness, it is all thanks to the hair coloring agent.
Hair coloring agents are actually some common metal salts. Yellow color uses sodium salt, blue color uses copper salt, golden light uses gold fraction, and others need metal salts such as strontium, barium, aluminum, etc. These things, Shang Wen I can't find it, I can't tell it with the naked eye.In addition to the first few, several are magnesium, which is also present in calcium oxide and tastes bitter.Then electrolytic separation.
Shangwen needs time, reload slowly, and then experiment.
But time passed quickly, and within seven days the Qin army completed the transfer and declared a failure.It is impossible to complete the transfer on the original basis within seven days.First of all, the national highway system in Qin State has not been fully established.Even with the rapid development of carriages and horses, the low traffic capacity of the roads seriously hindered the overall mobilization of the Qin army.
Although the engineering troops of the Qin Army continued to build roads and used explosives to widen the road, the impact of the poor road conditions was too great.Especially the repeated crushing of the Qin army's heavy troops.Caused serious damage to the road surface.It was very difficult for the infantry to march.
The cavalry units can pass quickly, but their logistical support cannot keep up in time, especially the artillery, after being crushed by the cavalry and the artillery units in front.The troops behind are already impassable.The traffic capacity of a four-wheeled carriage with high requirements on the road surface is far inferior to the speed of an ox cart.Mobility can be greatly reduced.
Overall, seven days have been unable to complete the assembly.There is no way, the staff department temporarily ordered the First Musketeer Division to set up a staff department to deal with such incidents.Only then did Qin Jun's transfer slowly improve.
Engineers used a large amount of gravel to fill the road surface.Improve road conditions.The military police carried out effective traffic control measures to speed up its advance.The difficulty of mobilizing troops began to require the staff to plan and formulate a series of logistics support measures, especially the improvement of road conditions. For this reason, the staff set up a logistics department to manage these matters.
These measures all come from changes in weapons.In the past, weapons were all cold weapons, and the requirements for road traffic conditions were not very high.However, the emergence of artillery units made this situation must be taken seriously.Without artillery, a unit equipped with muskets cannot fight alone.Especially in the face of the bow and arrow troops who still have a certain advantage in shooting.Therefore, musketeers need more intense firepower for cover, and a large number of battlefield situations also require this.Some Army officers were used to the power of artillery.Without artillery, they don't know how to fight.
The road can only be strengthened by compacting and laying gravel.For the logistics support system, some units specialized in logistics and transportation have begun to be established. Carriage and horse transportation regiments, engineer battalions, or engineer regiments have also begun to be established.
At the same time as these projects were launched, some more advanced measuring equipment also began to appear.Range finder, flat angle meter, etc.Get started with mapping.These units are distributed among the Qin army engineers.
While Qin State was making major improvements, the Six Nations also began to send their own visiting groups.Zhao Guo sent Li Mu, and Zhao Wang's emergency order stopped Li Mu from attacking, and the [-] troops rushed back to defend.When he learned that the Qin army was going to hold a large-scale exercise, Li Mu also became nervous.Immediately launched a large-scale deployment.Then he decided to go to check the situation of the Qin army's exercise.The document given by Ambassador Qin clearly stated that it is a new type of army.Li Mu had already experienced the power of muskets and artillery on the battlefield, so he decided to take a look.
South Korea and Wei Guo are in a state of alert throughout the country.The delegation sent could not offend Qin.Therefore, the team size is not small.
