Chapter 1128 Crude grenade
Not long after Xinping left, before Qu Mao had time to think clearly about what he was going to do next, he received a remote communication from Kong Ming. Now Kong Ming is on the Twin Islands halfway, and told Qu Mao through remote communication that he had developed a grenade sample. Maoneng went to Midway Twin Islands to observe the actual investment test with his own eyes.
Anyway, Qu Mao felt that he had nothing to do, so he went happily. Now that the anti-Yizhen alliance has already started, it is meaningless to worry about gains and losses. It is better to leave it to the military heroes to play by themselves. If something goes wrong, it will not be too late to deal with it temporarily.
Contacting the naval hero to reserve a warship for himself in the Yidao Naval Port, Qu Mao rode the horse drawn from the backyard of the lord's hut and rushed towards the Yidao Naval Port.
Boarded the naval warship and ordered the naval heroes to personally send him to the Twin Islands on the way 600 kilometers away. As for the battle with the Anti-Yizhen Alliance, Qu Mao felt that he should leave it to the military heroes to fight by themselves.
From the decision to develop and build Midway Twin Islands on July 1, 6th year of Tianxuan to the present, but in the past 18 days, it is estimated that the real time for development and construction is less than 15 days.
Midway Twin Islands In the plan of Qu Mao and a group of military heroes, the small island is the existence of the firearms research institute, and the big island is the headquarters of the firearms army under construction.
These days, apart from the meeting that he had to attend in Yidao, Kong Ming has been shuttling between Liandao and Midway Twin Islands, not only relocating all the equipment and facilities in the temporary firearms experiment site next to Liandao Lathe Factory to Midway Twin Islands , At the same time, researchers and Musketeers were gradually relocated to Midway Twin Islands.
As for the new Musketeers selected by each army, and the soldiers who formed the Artillery Team, they were naturally transported directly to the Midway Twin Islands for assembly.
Qu Mao provided Kong Ming with a resident recruitment voucher that could recruit 300 residents with excellent qualifications. Kong Ming selected more than 20 first-time freshmen of the Firearms University from among them. Firearms University gathered 50 students for the first batch.
According to Kong Ming's plan, he hoped that in his last three months, he would try his best to make the Midway Twin Islands operate normally, even if the Midway Twin Islands were not fully built.
At 6 o'clock in the evening on July 18th, the sixth year of Tianxuan, the naval warship that Qu Mao was on board was moored at the temporary pier on the small island of Shuangzi Island in the midway. When Qu Mao walked off the naval warship, Kong Ming was already smiling on the trestle of the temporary pier. Shaking the goose feather fan and waiting for Qu Mao.
Qu Mao did not wait for Kong Ming to say hello, and said directly: "Kong Ming, don't be polite, I can't wait, let's go and see the grenade first, and even see the actual combat effect of the grenade."
Kong Ming waved the goose feather fan, not talking nonsense, and led Qu Mao for about 500 meters before entering a zero-level residential house. It was almost a round ball, and a fuse about 20 cm long was exposed at the top of the ball.
Kong Ming pointed to the black ball and said: "Sir, this is the grenade developed by my subordinates. Before you came, my subordinates have tried to explode three of them, and all of them can explode."
Qu Mao glanced at the black ball, his face instantly became darker than the ball, and said angrily: "Damn! Kong Ming, your grenade is a bit shoddy, right?
The design is so big, how do you let the soldiers carry it around? Even if it can be carried with you, how far can a soldier throw such a large grenade? "
Kong Ming stopped Qu Mao by shaking his feather fan, and said with a smile: "My lord, why don't we see the effect of the explosion first?"
Qu Mao glared at Kong Ming. Kong Ming immediately carried four so-called grenades, and led Qu Mao to a large open space. Wooden boards more than two meters high had been erected around the open space, forming a circle with a diameter of about 5 meters. circles.
About three meters away from the outer circle of the wooden planks, a bunker one and a half meters high was piled up with sandbags.
Kong Ming called a soldier of the Firearms Army and asked the burly soldier to try to throw a grenade.
The soldier greeted Qu Mao with a smile, then lighted a cigarette and put it on his mouth, holding a grenade in both hands, put the fuse on the grenade on the cigarette **** and lit it, and then put his hands on the cigarette. Grenades were thrown into the area enclosed by circular wooden boards.
Then there was a loud "boom", and Qu Mao only felt "buzzing" in his ears.
After finally recovering his hearing, Qu Mao greeted Kong Ming to return to the zero-level residential house, and asked the firearms soldiers to carry the wooden planks back.
Back to the zero-level residence, Kong Ming said unwillingly: "My lord, there are still grenade tests that have not been completed."
Qu Mao carefully inspected the wooden boards brought by the Firearms Army into the zero-level residential buildings, and found that most of the two-centimeter-thick wooden boards were densely covered with bullet points, and even one board was blown to pieces.
After inspecting the wooden boards one by one, Kong Ming said: "My lord, the lethality is not bad. It can't be regarded as shoddy, but it took a lot of thought from the subordinates to burn pottery like grenades."
Qu Mao touched the bullet marks on the wooden board, and said: "I have to say, Kong Ming, this grenade is really only crudely made, and it is far from the grenade I imagined.
First of all, it is so big that it is not convenient for soldiers to throw it. What we want is a grenade that can defeat the enemy, not a grenade for soldiers to commit suicide.
Besides, with a 20-centimeter long lead wire and throwing with both hands, you make the throwing efficiency of the soldiers extremely low, and the soldiers will be approached by the enemy before they even have time to throw.
Also, the shell made of pottery can still cause some damage to unequipped enemies, but when encountering enemies equipped with iron armor, it is basically free, at most it can scare the enemy. "
Kong Ming said unconvinced: "My lord, with the existing technology, we can only make this kind of pottery shell, stuff gunpowder inside, insert the lead wire, and then cork the grenade port.
The iron casing you gave at the beginning, the subordinates tried it, and the gunpowder explosion could not blow the casing at all. "
Qu Mao rolled his eyes wildly and said, "Damn! You haven't thought about it at all. With the gunpowder we are making now, it is completely possible to explode a cast iron shell grenade and form explosive fragments to injure the enemy.
Your crude grenade, if it is used on the battlefield, it will be irresponsible to our own soldiers..."
Kong Ming waved the goose feather fan, stared at Qu Mao for a while, and listened to Qu Mao's continuous criticism of the shortcomings of the current grenade. After a long time, Kong Ming put the goose feather fan on the table and said, "My lord, you seem to have There's something else to say, right?"
Qu Mao could only heave a long sigh, and took out a pen and paper.
