The prince does not fight for the heir

Chapter 30

"Wonderful! Preset the safety mechanism to prevent fire, this, how come no one thought of it?! Adding the front sight to help aiming... Well, this is of great help to the soldiers' shooting training! But the most wonderful thing is this Rifling... Oh my God! Using the stabilization of the gyro track to stabilize the bullet and reduce the turbulence encountered during the flight of the bullet, this, this is really a genius design! Absolutely!"

The more Yang Qian muttered, the more excited he became, and his thoughts were opened: "In this way, it's no wonder that the bullet has to be redesigned into a tapered shape. The cylinder of the bullet body should be designed to better rub against the rifling... In that case, wouldn’t it mean that the longer the barrel and the more rifling, the longer the shooting distance and the higher the shooting accuracy? It’s just the thrust of the gunpowder explosion..."

Speaking of this, Yang Qian looked back at Fu Xuechen with regret, and said with a wry smile: "Young Lord's genius design, Yang is willing to bow down! But, did the Young Lord estimate the explosive thrust of the gunpowder too much? It takes time How much gunpowder must be filled to shoot this pointed projectile?"

"From this point of view, you designed this bullet too small, right? It can only be filled with a little gunpowder...and this firing pin, how can this firing pin ignite the gunpowder in the bullet? Could it be that the gunpowder needs Add... phosphorus? It's too dangerous! Phosphorus is too flammable..."

"It's not phosphorus!" Fu Xuechen interrupted Yang Qian's wild thoughts: "It's mercury fulminate. Its ignition point is not as low as phosphorus, but it is extremely sensitive to collisions. It will explode when hit by impact or acupuncture, and it is 90.00% nine o'clock." Jiudu explodes, the firing pin pierces the bullet, detonates the mercury fulminate first, and then ignites the gunpowder, and the thrust generated by the combination of the two is enough to shoot the bullet out of the barrel at high speed, causing sufficient destructive power."

Yang Qian was stunned: "What is mercury fulminate? How can there be such a strange thing in the world? It will explode when hit?"

Fu Xuechen has actually never seen mercury fulminate, let alone prepared mercury fulminate. She knows that the primer of the bullet is mercury fulminate, or the little knowledge she got from her grandfather who was a soldier. At most, she has the impression that fulminate The preparation of mercury seems to use mercury and nitric acid, but also ethanol?
This thing is dangerous. Fu Xuechen didn't intend to touch it at all. When Yang Qian asked, she immediately pushed [-]: "Well, it's just dropping mercury into nitric acid, and then adding ethanol? Ethanol is ultra-high-purity alcohol, which is then dehydrated. Is it dry powder particles? That’s probably the case, I also forgot which old book I read it from, I just remember its characteristic that it can encounter a big explosion when it hits a little bit...Why doesn’t the Ministry of Industry have this thing?”

Suddenly being beaten up by Fu Xuechen, Yang Qian was dumb and speechless, and then asked Fu Xuechen the name and source of that miscellaneous book, Fu Xuechen would all face each other with an innocent face, don't ask, if you ask, you just don't remember it at all!

Where is the book?burnt!The author of the book?Alchemist of alchemy, right?What name and Taoism?Did not notice!After some questions and answers, Yang Qian, who had just regarded her as a genius and wanted to praise her to the sky, was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Industry, as one of the six ministries of the imperial court, governs the artisans of the entire Darong Empire. All materials and materials related to manufacturing techniques are under the control of the Ministry of Industry. Looking for the alchemist who made fulminate mercury and left a letter, promising a lot of money, the other party or the other party's descendants and apprentices will definitely send it to his door, so Fu Xuechen was let go.

During this trip to the firearms workshop, Fu Xuechen generally provided a more specific firearm design and bullet design. The firearm is okay, and it takes about a few days to come up with samples according to the drawings.

The key is the matching bullets. The whole difficulty lies in things like mercury fulminate. If the alchemist can't be found, it will take many rounds of trial manufacturing only according to Fu Xuechen's description in a few words.

Without something like mercury fulminate as the primer for the bullets, Fu Xuechen's entire firearm design would not be able to take shape, and theories would always remain theories.

That's why Fu Xuechen doesn't care much about showing out the design drawings. From the perspective of future generations, she naturally knows how advanced her designs are, so she can't help but feel that her technology tree is too powerful!

But in fact, in the current era, how many people in the world can understand the technical content from a sketch-like design drawing?
Unless she took out the real thing, or someone else turned her design into a real thing, and a lot of practice has proved that her design is advanced and powerful.

Just like Leonardo da Vinci in Europe, he also produced a lot of design drawings that looked like geniuses. When people saw these design drawings, they were amazed. , even with his status, does anyone believe in him and create something real?not at all!

I am afraid that in the eyes of the world at that time, Da Vinci's whimsical design drawings were just whimsical ideas, which could only inspire people's thinking and prove his intelligence, and they were not realistic at all.

When it was time to be on duty again, to send away the sixth prince and the young master of the Fu family, Yang Qian took the blueprints and began to have a headache about how to write this report.

There is no finished product, only the prospect forecast, so it is impossible to ask for credit immediately. If you want to get permission from the imperial court, the whole country will set up a list to solicit alchemists or their descendants who can make fulminate mercury. A child's name will do...

This is Yang Qian, and the previous design of the new printing machine has proved Fu Xuechen's design talent. If someone else is in charge, I'm afraid they won't take this child's whimsy to heart.

On the other side, Fu Xuechen, who rode his horse back home, was blown by the cold wind, his feverish mind gradually sobered up, and there was still an expression of frustration on his face.

She clearly said that she should keep a low profile and not cause trouble, but when things come to an end, why can't she control herself and jump out again after being spoken to in a few words?Was he affected by the body that suddenly became a child?

The biggest difference between a child and an adult is just this—everyone understands the truth, regardless of whether they are adults or not, the reason why adults are mature is only because they can use their calmness very well. Use reason to control your emotions and behavior.

Children can't do it. Children have poor self-control and tend to get hot-headed. When they get hot, they don't think about so many things!
And because of their age, the brain development of children is always not as mature as that of adults, which makes them more passionate and aggressive, even if the soul is traveled by the middle-aged and elderly people in the previous life, bringing experience and knowledge, Calm and mature but cannot be brought over completely.

So when many things come to an end, I know rationally that this should not be done that way, but I will get impulsive and forget everything, and my mind will go crazy when it gets hot.

After discovering this, Fu Xuechen had nothing to do, and repeatedly warned himself not to...no next time with a frowning face!Best not to have a next time!

This time, I can only rejoice that the improvement of firecrackers cannot subvert evolution without mercury fulminate, and this process is far from being as simple and ingenious as ink printing, which can be easily achieved immediately!
