Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 472 After understanding a few guns, I have mastered the essence of "gun"!

Different from the absolute advantage of artillery, the generals still hesitated about the real air guns and muskets.

First of all, both are definitely more practical than primitive crossbows. In the short term, in terms of rate of fire and range, there seems to be no advantage over a Jizo soldier who has been trained to be proficient in archery.

However, you must know that even elites have a limited number of bow firings. Even if they do not need to aim at the projectile and use a badou short bow, after a dozen consecutive arrows, they will basically fall into muscle fatigue...

In comparison, both air rifle soldiers and musketeers are more complicated to load, which affects the rate of fire. In fact, the consumption of physical strength is very small. In a battle of several hours, as long as the "materials" are enough, Ji The soldier can be shot from start to finish.

And according to Huang Yueying and Yu Ji, the training costs for both are very low.

The so-called materials, first of all, are bullets, and both are needed.

Secondly, the musket has entered the firing stage, and the bullets are fixedly loaded, that is, the bullets contain their own gunpowder, and there is no need to prepare additional gunpowder.

However, the true qi core of the true qi gun needs true qi to "charge", and unlike the true qi furnace used by the true qi gun, the true qi core is a disposable product.

The energy supply of the Qi furnace is moderated and can be recharged repeatedly. Large armored ships and Qi locomotives need to use large Qi furnaces.

In comparison, the function of the Qi core is more violent, and it is more efficient when used in the Qi gun. However, it will greatly damage the Qi glass and cannot be reused. One Qi core can be used for the machine to operate hundreds of times, that is It can fire hundreds of bullets, a total of 600 rounds.

The consumption of Zhenqi core is also very small. The military is now promoting the "Pan Zhenqi Plan". Even Generals Mu and Shi are cultivating Zhenqi. After the Zhenqi core is applied to the army, it will definitely be mobilized even more. The passion for cultivating Qi.

The difficulty of the Qi furnace lies in its "bigness", while the difficulty of the Qi core lies in its small size - what Huang Yueying wants to do now is to "customize" the Qi core.

That is to say, like gunpowder bullets, each bullet has its own true energy core, so that the structure of the true air gun will be more optimized.

Theoretically it can be achieved, and even the chi core needs to be smaller than the gunpowder chamber of a bullet. However, with the current technology, the cost is too high, and it is not as cost-effective as it is now.

In terms of cost, the cost of musket ammunition is much lower than that of "air core + air gun bullets", but in terms of storage, qi core has more advantages than musket ammunition, and there is no need to worry about the problem of moisture in the ammunition during the rainy weather. Use around the clock.

The cost of the gun itself is only one-third of that of an airsoft gun, and its durability is twice that of an airsoft gun. The barrel of an airsoft gun is very durable, but the machine part needs to be used after its service life has expired. replace.

but……

Different from the "cannon" situation, not only is the gap smaller, but also in terms of "guns", the difference between air guns and muskets is nothing more than cheaper and cheaper!

If you grit your teeth, they can be widely equipped, and Chu State can fully afford the cost of air guns...

Judging from the performance displayed in the battle, it is obvious that air rifles completely crush muskets-the range and rate of fire are all surpassed.

The training cost is almost the same, much lower than ordinary archers.

As for crossbowmen... the cost of air guns is only 5% of the expensive air crossbows, and the bullets are much cheaper than arrows, so the latter cannot even equip all warriors.

In terms of adaptability, airsoft guns are definitely more stable, while muskets have the negative effect of greatly increasing the failure rate in rainy weather. Moreover, airsoft guns are shorter, more convenient to carry, and less likely to be damaged - it can be used as a page. If you hammer it, you can see how stable it is!

In terms of performance, the only thing better than air guns is that the triangular bayonet is indeed more reliable than the hammer in close combat. After all, the length of the air gun is not suitable for bayonets, and the weight is concentrated on the mechanism near the handle. Here, the melee function is indeed not easy to develop...

However, with the reserves of the Chu State, it is enough for each person to be equipped with a Chu Dao, which is not a big deal in itself.

In the end, the opinions of the generals were more in favor of the Qi gun - according to Huang Yueying, this is called the "Qi bullet crossbow".

In comparison, the cost of infuriating cannons is too high!
Even though the cost of air guns is higher than that of muskets, it does not affect the gradual coverage of front-line troops.

However, in terms of artillery, even artillery cannot satisfy all armies - according to the experience of combining hot and cold weapons on the battlefield in the 18th century, infantry, cavalry, and artillery work together, and four artillery pieces per [-] people is the optimal ratio.

The current state of Chu is also developing unevenly in many aspects, and Bai Tu is not willing to over-squeeze the people. If it can reach two artillery pieces per [-] people in the front-line army within five years, it will be considered as meeting expectations.

If Qi cannons are used, even the first-line army will only have single-digit Qi cannons per [-] people, which will seem too inconspicuous...

Soon after everyone reached a consensus, the Qi cannon and musket were carried down.

In the future, the investment in these two technological lines will also be reduced, almost to the point of being banned. A research team will be maintained on a daily basis to ensure that when other inter-generational products that can be linked appear, and new breakthroughs can be made with infuriating cannons or muskets, at least they will not The old technology will be completely thrown away...but before that, no more money will be spent on research and development.

Only Huang Zhong left one behind when he saw the Qi cannon being carried away. Then... Huang Zhong asked Bai Tu for orders: "Your Majesty, I want to give it a try!"

When Bai Tu saw this, although he was curious, he still agreed: "General, just try."

Bai Tu didn't know what Huang Zhong was going to try. The performance of the True Qi Cannon had already been fully demonstrated just now.

However, after Baitu agreed, Huang Zhong immediately became armored and jaded...

Then, Huang Zhong directly removed the Qi Cannon from the motorcycle base below and carried it up.

Because the Golden Jade Armor is not small in size, Huang Zhong now looks like he is carrying a thicker stick...

However, at the next moment, the Qi furnace part behind the Qi cannon quickly began to "melt". As Huang Zhong's armor flashed, the Qi cannon gradually merged with it!
The 3D-printed mini-aircraft that originally appeared only when the armor was upgraded, and seemed to be [-]D-printed around the user, appeared again, and this time it focused on changing the Qi cannon carried by Huang Zhong.

From the light and shadow, it can be vaguely seen that the Qi Cannon is gradually enlarging and elongating, and more powerful and exaggerated carvings appear, like a web game!

"Is this... integrating the Qi Cannon into the armor?" Sun Ce asked in surprise. At the same time, he quickly also equipped himself with armor and carried the Qi Cannon... but there was no reaction!
Even if it is a golden jade armor, not everything can be connected. Normally, everyone has the same type of "interface", just like an alien worth tens of thousands of yuan and a second-hand assembly machine worth several hundred yuan have USB interfaces. , is just the "interface" of the armor, it is a virtual concept. At least Bai Tu and Lu Lingqi have studied it specifically, and there is no place on the armor that can be inserted.

Changes in the interface are usually changes that occur when Cheng Ji crosses the era. For example, King Zhao Wuling's Hufu Cavalry and Archery added an interface for mounts to the armor.

But there are special circumstances...

Sun Ce carried him once, but there was no response, so he changed to another one, and then he carried him again, but there was no reaction, and he changed to another one...

Until Zhou Yu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Sun Ce aside!
Obviously this interface is a special case and only Huang Zhong himself has it!
Huang Yueying also became a little disappointed after discovering this - if all generals can really be equipped with Qi cannons, maybe they can really replace artillery.

However, if there is only Huang Zhong, this aspect is still of little value, and Chu State will not reserve the development project of Qi Cannon specifically for this purpose...

Huang Zhong's understanding of bows, or in other words, archery, allowed his golden and jade armor to transform into a super crossbow similar to a "giant cannon". Now that he came into contact with the Qi Cannon, he quickly made it fight. A has expanded the Qi Cannon interface!

But this is his own creation, and he cannot copy other people's armors, unless... other people's shooting skills can reach Huang Zhong's level.

"General Huang can have a try." Bai Tu said and pointed to the open space in front of the test site.

"Here!"

After receiving the order, Huang Zhong flew up directly - Huang Zhong's "big cannon" was originally transformed from a battle armor, so when the big cannon appeared, it also meant that Huang Zhong himself did not have the bonus of the battle armor.

But now the two coexist, allowing Huang Zhong to fly while venting firepower to the ground...

Just like the bow and arrow after being connected to the armor, there is no need for arrows, and there is no original problem of reloading, just like the light and shadow of a falling meteor.

Huang Zhong blasted to the ground with a cannon - there was no explosion effect, pure impact destruction!

Every time the light of the "laser cannon" falls on the ground, there is a loud noise. At the same time, looking at the "pit", you can tell that it is much stronger than the infuriating cannon and artillery.

When Lu Bu saw this, he even wanted to quarrel with Huang Zhong again...

If he is still in the state of divine power and the bonus of the Qi Cannon is not there, Huang Zhong is definitely not Lu Bu's enemy.

However, if it is the case of the Golden Jade Armor, with the Qi Cannon, Lu Bu is also much weaker than Huang Zhong in terms of long-range damage!

Lu Bu's shooting skills are also very high, which does not hinder his "best in the world" in terms of martial arts...

However, Lu Bu's archery is the result of his full attribute blessing, and his understanding of archery alone is not as deep as Huang Zhong's.

Divine power mode is different from armor promotion. It is just a special state that cannot be maintained for a long time. Therefore, even for a transcendent general, the combat effectiveness when wearing a golden and jade armor is meaningful!

Huang Zhong circled in the air and landed back in front of Bai Tu. He immediately asked for orders: "Your Majesty! The general feels that... he has fully understood the essence of the 'cannon' tactics. If the king intends to form a new army, the general will be willing to help." What a waste of time!"

Bai Tu glanced at Huang Zhong strangely...

Bai Tu didn't doubt Huang Zhong's shooting skills, but... when it came to artillery, it was another matter, right?
You just tried a few shots and then you said you completely grasped the essence?

Where do you come from as a game anchor/up master?

Lu Bu saw Bai Tu's confusion, and then interjected: "Being able to awaken a new interface on your own will indeed help your understanding of this type of weapon. The armor should also directly give feedback and update the manual... General Huang This is not a big statement.”

Lu Bu still had a big opinion against Huang Zhong. If it were any other general present, he would definitely call him by his first name on such occasions.

However, after Huang Zhong showed his value, Lu Bu still recognized it fairly, but it just didn't sound very pleasant to his ears...

It's just that the other generals objected one after another at this time!
They don't have much of a problem with Huang Zhong, but...the artillery equipment is obviously more wolf than meat. You old guy want to "take it all for yourself"?
