Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

The reason lies in the conical cavity at the bottom of the Minié bullet and the cork that fills it.

When the gunpowder in the gun is ignited, the explosive airflow pushes the filling cork tightly against the tail of the Minié bullet.

This effect is achieved by expanding the tail of the projectile to enhance air tightness and adding the effect of rifling.

The key is that this type of bullet can be easily pushed into the barrel, greatly increasing the speed of reloading and the frequency of shooting.

Wait until General Wei Wu tells you the effects of the rifled flintlock and Minié bullet.

The three members of the firearms team were going crazy, their eyes full of fanaticism.

He seemed to be more anxious than Song Zhong and Sun Chang just now, and he couldn't wait to make the weapon immediately.

Only after a brief frenzy did Yang Chao calm down first and think of a key issue.

"Mr. Vice President, as you said, this rifled flintlock can indeed become a battlefield artifact."

"But I'm afraid I don't have the ability to manufacture it. The rifling you mentioned requires too much precision."

Yang Chao also wanted to make the weapon, but he really couldn't figure out how to make the rifling.

But just when he was filled with regret and helplessness, he saw that Wei Wu still had a smile on his face.

Just this faint smile made him see the light of hope.

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, Wei Wu spoke.

"As for the rifling problem, I actually have a solution here, and the blacksmith team also has a solution."

"It's just that you are limited by your inherent thinking. Have you forgotten that we now have steam engines?"

"How to do this with a steam engine is up to you to figure out. I can only tell you to use broaching or extrusion!"

In fact, Wei Wu was talking about the broaching method and the hammer forging method. The former requires repeated broaching back and forth many times.

The latter cannot be achieved by human power and can only be achieved by utilizing the powerful mechanical kinetic energy of the steam engine.

Looking at Yang Chao who was lost in thought, Wei Wu shook his head and spoke to bring him back to his senses.

"Okay, you'll have time to think about how to do it later. I just want you to think, not do it."

"How do you make rifling? I have more professional tools here that can handle it. You wait here and I will call you out."

After saying that, Wei Wu walked out of the classroom directly, and then took out a turning and milling machine tool and a mobile power supply.

Fortunately, we got this kind of machine tool this time. It would be troublesome if we really got a large CNC machine tool.

But ordinary people can't handle that thing at all, and all the data can make people dizzy.

Just getting it to start was a big problem.

Large machines are big energy consumers, but Wei Wu only has a mobile power bank with a storage capacity of 20 degrees.

Use it to power large CNC machine tools?

That's as ridiculous as a young man threatening to have sex with a 40-year-old widow who has been single for 18 years.

After doing all this, Wei Wu called out the three members of the firearms team and asked them to help move into the house.

"This thing is called a machine tool. It's used to perform precision processing on metal objects. Now I'm handing it over to you."

In fact, Wei Wu himself had never learned it, but he had a classmate who was a technician in this field.

I have played with machine tools a few times out of curiosity before. Although I am not proficient in it, I still understand the basic operations.

After a brief demonstration, the three members of the firearms group were dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Wei Wu laughed.

"Don't be dazed. Besides the flintlock rifle, I also have two other types of cannons, and I want you to make them too!"

Use the same method to explain and draw at the same time.

More than two hours passed like this, and the three members of the firearms team began to tinker with the machine tool as if it were a treasure.

Seeing that the three of them were immersed in it, Wei Wu did not disturb them and left the classroom quietly.

Nowadays, almost everyone in the Institute of Science and Technology has their own things to do, but teacher Wei Wu has become idle.
