Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony - Chapter 1219

  Chapter 1219 New firearm weapon

On August 2nd, the seventh year of Tianxuan, when Qu Mao appeared in the restaurant of the Firearms Research Institute on the small island of Twin Islands in the middle of the morning, the researchers in the Firearms Research Institute who knew Qu Mao were surprised and immediately came forward to say hello , researchers at the Firearms Research Institute, there are not a few people who know Qu Mao.

   Before Qu Mao had finished his breakfast, the acting director of the Firearms Research Institute brought key researchers to Qu Mao, but Qu Mao did not give the acting director of the Firearms Research Institute a chance to speak.

  Waving his hands, Qu Mao said directly: “You guys go to work first, those who should eat eat, those who should go back to the office, after breakfast, I can just take a look.

   If there is any problem, I will naturally go to you.

  This time I came here simply to take a look around, and didn’t mean to inspect or inspect the work. “

  The acting director of the Firearms Research Institute said anxiously: “Yes, my lord, you can eat breakfast slowly.

  My subordinates heard from Master Kong Ming that you were extremely dissatisfied with the scientific research and industrial development of the Holy Land when you left the Holy Land for the Principality of Fulu in the Western Continent, so they were a little panicked. “

   Qu Mao waved his hand again and said, “There is nothing to do, you should go and do it first.”

  The acting director of the Firearms Research Institute had no choice but to leave with a group of core scientific researchers, not daring to stay in the restaurant and report to Qu Mao.

After Qu Mao finished his breakfast, he left the dining room and went directly to the laboratory area of ​​the Firearms Research Institute. After walking around the various research rooms and laboratories a few times, Qu Mao did not see any refreshing projects in progress. Can’t help being a little disappointed.

  Kong Ming vowed to let himself come to the Firearms Research Institute to have a look. He thought there would be some surprising inventions, but it turned out that there were none, so Qu Mao was a little disappointed.

  Originally, Qu Mao wanted to go back to the office of the director on the second floor of the office building of the Firearms Research Institute to communicate with the acting director of the Firearms Research Institute, but he stopped when he walked to the test firing site of the Firearms Research Institute.

  It turned out that Qu Mao found that a large area of ​​green grass planted on the test firing site had been completely scorched black. This kind of scorched black was different from the scorched black caused by gunpowder when viewed from a distance.

  So Qu Mao stopped to observe for a while, walked to the firearms research institute’s test site, knelt down and reached out to touch the scorched grass stubble.

  After touching the stubble, Qu Mao was even more sure that the scorched black was not caused by gunpowder, because the explosion of gunpowder could not produce such a great power. After thinking twice, Qu Mao beckoned to the personnel on duty at the testing site of the Firearms Research Institute.

   Seeing Qu Mao waving, the guard immediately ran to Qu Mao and asked, “My lord, what are your orders?”

  Qu Mao pointed to the scorched black grass stubble left on the ground, and asked, “What kind of weapon test is this the mark left?”

  The caretaker took a look and said, “My lord, this is the trace left by the incendiary bomb test a few days ago.”

  Qu Mao repeated in doubt: “Incendiary bomb?”

  The caretaker nodded and said, “Yes, my lord, it’s an incendiary bomb, my subordinate confirmed that that day happened to be the time when my subordinate was on duty for the test firing.

As for what kind of weapon the incendiary bomb is, the subordinates are not clear, but the subordinates heard from the researchers that it is a kind of bomb developed from the new fuel provided by Master Kong Ming, which is extracted from crude oil by Master Kong Ming. A new type of bomb processed from a new type of fuel.

   It’s just that this kind of bomb cannot be launched by artillery for the time being, and needs to be thrown manually or by traditional catapults. The problem of danger has not been resolved yet, so it has not yet reached the stage of mass production, let alone deployed troops. “

   Qu Mao nodded, stood up and said, “I see, thank you for your hard work.”

   Then Qu Mao went straight to the second floor of the office building of the Firearms Research Institute, and knocked on the door of the office of the acting director of the Firearms Research Institute.

   Obviously, the acting director of the Firearms Research Institute did not sit down to work quietly. As soon as Qu Mao knocked on the door, the door of the acting director’s office was opened immediately.

  The acting director asked: “My lord, are you looking for me?”

   Qu Mao nodded, walked into the acting director’s office, sat down, and then said: “Well, I just saw the traces left by the incendiary bomb at the test firing site.

  Tell me specifically about the recent research results of the Firearms Research Institute on new firearms. “

  The acting director stood beside Qu Mao respectfully, and said: “My lord, the Firearms Research Institute has been mainly researching the application of gunpowder in new weapons recently.

A few days ago, Master Kong Ming sent someone to send the new fuel separated from petroleum crude oil by the Outlying Island Power Research Institute to the Firearms Research Institute. Some researchers proposed to use the new fuel to develop new shells. The personnel and the teachers of the Firearms University jointly invented the incendiary bomb.

  My lord, if you want to review the effect of the incendiary bomb, I’m afraid you have to trouble yourself to move to the test firing site, although you just came back from there.

After the samples of the incendiary bombs came out, the Firearms Research Institute immediately started the project. The current products are mainly divided into throwing incendiary bombs and hand-throwing incendiary bombs. However, these two models are not very stable at present, and the killing effect is not particularly ideal. .

  The power of throwing incendiary bombs is acceptable, but the throwing accuracy is not enough; the power of hand-throwing incendiary bombs is not enough. “

  The acting director of the Firearms Research Institute introduced the incendiary bomb to Qu Mao, and at the same time led Qu Mao to the test firing site.

  After arriving at the testing site of the Firearms Research Institute, the acting director took out a watermelon-sized incendiary bomb and a fist-sized incendiary bomb from the house managed by the researchers on duty.

  Holding two incendiary bombs, the acting director said to Qu Mao: “My lord, the incendiary bombs use thunder mercury to ignite and ignite the gasoline or kerosene stored in them. Unfortunately, the sealing is not good, and the shelf life of the incendiary bombs is too short.

   Kerosene is slightly less volatile, but its combustion power is not as strong as that of gasoline…”

As the acting director introduced, he came to a small catapult and gently put a watermelon-sized incendiary bomb on it. After pressing the latch, the catapult threw the incendiary bomb 40 meters away. A sea of ​​flames about 5 meters by 5 meters was formed. Unfortunately, the flames gradually extinguished in less than 10 seconds.

   Then the acting director of the Firearms Research Institute wanted to test the shooter throwing incendiary bombs, but Qu Mao stopped the acting director and said: “You can consider making a double container, and adding some gunpowder in the interlayer will have a better effect.

  The Outlying Island Power Research Institute has air-dried out rubber, which can be used to solve the sealing problem in the future. Hand-throwing incendiary bombs has a limited range, so further development is not recommended.

  However, you can consider adding an interlayer to the hand-throwing incendiary bomb, and put a flammable substance like white phosphorus, so that it will be difficult to extinguish once it burns, which can make up for the shortcoming of insufficient range.

  Incendiary bombs are still an innovative research, and the Firearms Research Institute can continue to conduct in-depth research in this direction.

  You go to work, I will go to the University of Firearms to have a look. “
