400. The Great Leap of Science and Technology [2/2]
Haha, finally came out, the third-level science and technology department! Yi Yun was overjoyed. His estimate was correct. The profession of the science and technology department really needed to be automatically obtained after the corresponding science and technology was developed. In fact, this point was something that people from later generations should have long thought of, because the combat effectiveness of soldiers in later generations often changes with the weapons they use. Unlike soldiers in the cold weapon era, it is determined by their martial arts proficiency.
For example, in the era of cold weapons, a man with good martial arts skills, holding a spear and a long halberd in his hand, actually his combat power is not much different. Even if he holds a bamboo stick, a man with poor martial arts skills and a knife is still not a match for a man. In other words, martial arts are superior to weapons, so the power of a profession exceeds the power of a weapon.
But the era of hot weapons is different. Children who hold machine guns can easily knock dozens of big men out of their way, and they have a lot of martial arts skills... Some TV shows a big man running in the rain of bullets, rushing to the enemy who holds the machine gun, and knocking down his opponent with a set of punches. Don't believe this kind of thing! Anyone who plays light skills on the battlefield of hot weapons is dead! Their stories cannot be filmed as TV. If they really want to shoot, the audience will scold: Damn, what a bad TV, the protagonist is actually killed by someone.
Okay, I've been talking about it again, so I'd better come back to the story quickly.
Yi Yun changed his position without hesitation to become a "returning rifle soldier".
"Ding...you have obtained two active casting skills..."
"Long-distance shooting: The lances have a relatively range of 500 meters, within this distance. The lances can carry out relatively accurate strikes."
"Fighting bayonet: When using a rifle equipped with a bayonet, rifle soldiers can use the bayonet on the gun to fight the enemy in hand."
"Ding...you have obtained two permanent passive skills..."
"The Inheritance of the Gunsman: The Rebirth Gunsman can use all the skills of the Gunsman and have greater power."
"Rust Reliability: Only those who have obtained rifles can be transferred to riflemen. If a riflemen loses his rifle, they will automatically return to his previous profession."
When Yi Yun heard this career introduction, he was immediately sweating. The requirement of rifle was so annoying. That is, if I only produced one rifle, I could only change my job. If there was not enough rifle, the girls would still pester me to ask for unspoken rules... It was so sweaty!
This depression was soon dispelled by him. It was more important to do serious things first. Yi Yun picked up the inferior rifle he imitated, loaded the bullets, and reached out from the window. He aimed at a sand seagull flying on the sea hundreds of meters away.
This sand seagull is about 300 meters away from the dragon boat. At such a range, if the second-level "gun soldiers" use "sniper", they will probably only hit the moon, and it is absolutely impossible to touch the seagull half a hair. However, if the third-level "long-distance shooting" is used, it may be possible.
Yi Yun used the skill of "long-distance shooting" and fired a "bang". The bullet of the rifle was carrying a blue light given by the skill. It quickly shot towards the seagull, such a precise bullet. It rotated and flew out under the action of rifle. It advanced straight towards the target in the air, with almost no deviation from the trajectory. Only the sand seagull screamed, was shot in the chest, and fell into the sea.
"Wow!" The blacksmiths beside him were shocked and shocked.
"Hahaha, my buddy is also a sharpshooter!" Yi Yun was overjoyed. Unfortunately, before he could laugh twice, the inferior rifle in his hand snapped and cracked open. The barrel was twisted out of shape. Several machines were shaken off and could no longer be used.
Yi Yun shook his head, threw the rotten musket on his hand aside, used the "intermediate manufacturing technique" to create a new rifle, and then threw the gun into the hand of the blacksmith who was stunned by the sight of the side, humming: "I hand over this new weapon to the gangs, and after the gangs dismantle it, they will create it as it looks."
The blacksmiths were a little sweaty, and several people asked together: "Prince, what kind of weird gun is this? It can actually hit seagulls so far."
"Can such treasures really be left to us to dismantle and study?"
Yi Yun smiled and said, "Of course, let me leave it to the gangs, hurry up and dismantle it and study it... Each of the gangs is responsible for a component and finally assemble it. This is faster. Try to make one tomorrow for trial use."
"Don't, the prince... how can it be tomorrow..." The blacksmiths and knelt together: "You also know that no one in our country knows how to build serious muskets. In the past, muskets were imported from Fusang and the West. We are still learning. Even the old muskets in the past, we only have the ability to maintain and do not have the ability to manufacture. Now you give us a more powerful musket, how can we build it?"
"How long will it take for you to research it?" Yi Yunhan said.
"At least... a few months!" The blacksmiths sweated.
"No, right? It will take several months?" Yi Yun screamed: "Those female soldiers chased me to have no way to heaven and no way to enter the ground. Do you even have to delay me for several months? Don't you want me to live anymore."
At this point, Yi Yun suddenly woke up. No, what I developed was rifle, but those female soldiers were artillery soldiers, which was a scam. I don’t want to turn these experienced artillery soldiers into other professions. It seems that I still have to study rifled cannons. By the way, although the gunmaking technology of Dameng Kingdom is a blank, the level of cannon making is not low. The most powerful red-clothed cannon in the world in this era was created by our Dameng Kingdom itself? Westerners can only make thousands of pound cannons, but our Dameng Kingdom has ten thousand pound cannons.
With the experience of rifle, the rifled cannon is not difficult. Yi Yun casually analyzed the rifled cannon from the 17th century. Soon, he fused a large pile of iron blocks together and formed a huge cannon.
Cannon is a low-fire-angle cannon. It has a low ballistic extension, a long body tube, a very high initial velocity, and a firing angle of generally 45 degrees. It is mostly used to shoot armored targets. It is very suitable to use it on warships to make naval cannons. Several blacksmiths helped Yi Yun to extend the cannon that had just been built out of the window. After stuffing the ammunition, Yi Yun lit the fuse and retreated to one side.
Only a loud "boom" sound was heard, and the cannon sprayed a rotating iron ball. The flight trajectory of this large iron ball was very stable, not like ordinary smoothbore cannons. You should know that even if the artillerymen used their professional skills, their hit rate was still not very high. The main reason was that the shells fired by the smoothbore cannon were too unstable and often flew randomly. They might fly to some strange place, so the artillerymen's shooting accuracy was not enough, and they usually had a deviation of about five meters.
However, Yi Yun only tried one shot and found out that the ballistics fired by the cannon were extremely accurate and had extremely errors. If you use professional skills to control the launch of the shell, you can at least reduce the recognition difference to within two meters. Moreover, this shell flew very far and almost doubled its range.
After this shot was fired, Yi Yun's mind sounded again, and a new profession prompt reminded him at the same time: "Discover a new profession... Can a cannon artillery... want to change his job?"
"No, of course!"
Then a prompt sounded, which was about the same skill as the artillery, but the power and range increased with the emergence of cannons.
Yi Yun didn't listen to the introduction carefully. He pushed the cannon in front of the blacksmiths and hummed, "I asked the guys to build rifles, and the guys talked a lot, there is no problem in making cannons, right? My cannon manufacturing technology in my cute country is the best in the world."
"No problem! Of course no problem!" The blacksmiths were excited: "People are all first-class gun-making experts!"
"Very good, then I will build a cannon for me tomorrow!" Yi Yun hummed.
"Tomorrow? My prince... Is it a toy to make cannons? This thing is very laborious, so we can give it at least ten days."
"Ten days?" Yi Yun khan: "No, the female artillery soldiers almost swallowed me alive. I will definitely not be able to hold on for ten days."
"Why would the prince hide here for a few days?" The blacksmiths made bad ideas: "This place is molten iron, stove, and a bit of messy muskets and black oil. Women hate this kind of place the most, so they will definitely not come."
Yi Yun smiled bitterly: "Well, that's all I can do!"
In the next few days, Yi Yun lived in the blacksmith's house in a miserable manner. He did not dare to notify most people. He just quietly sent someone to notify Chen Yuanyuan and Zhu Qingqing Qingqing, asking them not to come to find him. He lived with a large group of blacksmiths with dark skin and sweat all over his body. He had nothing to do, and he happened to study and think about new weapons and technologies every day.
With the analysis of rifle and cannon technology, Yi Yun also opened up his mind. He began to seriously think about which weapons can be analyzed and imitated in the current technological level of this era.
Soon, he discovered two kinds of weapons that could be used, one was a mortar. Although the mortar really appeared on the stage of history in 1904, its technological content was very low and could be achieved with extremely simple craftsmanship. For example, in 1342 AD, the Arabs used mortars. They set up short corner tubes on battlements, put gunpowder on the outside of the city, and then put an iron ball in it... and then shot the iron ball out to bombard the Spanish soldiers outside the city. This most primitive mortar can be used normally. With the level of craftsmen in the Great Manchu Kingdom, it is easy to make mortars that exceed this level.
So the third-level "mortar" was born soon.
Next, Yi Yun also "invented" grenades, and the production process requirements of this kind of thing were also very low. The craftsmen spent a little effort to make simple grenades using the technology of firecrackers. With the invention of this thing, another new third-level army "grenadier" entered Yi Yun's large-scale transfer system.
A big leap in technology!
