Chapter 40 Textile Machines
The third is also a cannon.
But unlike ordinary guns, ordinary guns in this world are smoothbore guns with smooth interiors.
And this cannon is a rifled gun with a spiral rifling inside. When firing, the projectile rotates and advances along the rifling of the gun. After exiting the muzzle, it has a certain speed and can maintain a stable flight.
Rifled guns are superior to smoothbore guns in terms of range, rate of fire and accuracy.
This is for equipment on the Conqueror.
With this cannon, the conqueror's power is even greater.
As before, the situation where the Felter Kingdom was densely populated with artillery at the port and prevented an inch of progress would no longer happen.
Taking a rifled gun with a range of 3,000 meters, it can hit them from a distance, and a general artillery has a range of 1,000 to 1,500 meters.
Of course, the cost of the rifled gun is also much more expensive than that of the smoothbore gun, after all, it is necessary to make a rifle in the barrel.
"Your Majesty, do you want to try these things?" Dale said excitedly.
"Of course!" Arthur picked up a grenade.
Pull the grenade away and throw it gently.
The grenade flew directly more than 500 meters away!
"boom!"
Five hundred meters away, a pit a few meters in size exploded in an instant!
"The power is good!" Arthur nodded with satisfaction.
"With this power, it's not easy for an ordinary major to be bombed directly. Once bombed by a large number of grenades, even if he is iron or armed, it will not help!" Yamamoto Shigekuni analyzed on the side.
That said, but most of them are not stupid if they can cultivate to the level of major, can't they hide?
And with their eyesight and strength, as long as they pay attention, they can even have the opportunity to throw them back directly, or fight them back.
Therefore, it is very useful for ordinary enemies, but for enemies with a little strength, be careful to use it, or even do not use it, unless you have the determination to perish together, directly hold the grenade and explode it.
"Your Majesty, let them use the rest!" Dale said with a smile.
The remaining two are cannons, and Arthur's words are definitely not easy to operate, so he has such a proposal.
"Yes!" Arthur nodded.
Dale gave the craftsmen beside him a look.
The next moment, the craftsmen came over with flying thunder cannons.
Put the flying thunder cannon on the ground, and everything is ready!
Then several craftsmen looked at Arthur!
"Let's start!" Arthur said with a wave of his hand.
The craftsmen skillfully put the explosive packs bundled into a disc shape into the flying thunder gun.
ignition.
"boom!"
The explosive pack flew more than two hundred meters away.
"boom!"
After a deafening bang, a big pit exploded.
"The power is quite large, but it's useless, the distance is too close! Once the fight starts, it will be easily knocked out by the enemy!" Yamamoto Shigekuni shook his head and said.
"Grandpa, this is not for us, it is sold to those who are crazy poor and have no money to buy artillery!" Arthur said with a smile.
"That's okay!" Yamamoto Shigekuni nodded. If it was sold to those pirate mafia, if the price was very low, there would be a certain market.
"Your Majesty, let's look at the last cannon!" Dale said confidently. In his opinion, the last one was the highlight.
Arthur nodded.
The rifled gun is placed on two large wheels, and the barrel has a golden appearance!
The craftsmen skillfully pulled out the rifled gun and placed it.
Take out a cannonball with rivets.
The craftsmen spun the shells into the rifled guns.
"Let's go!" Arthur said after seeing the shells go in.
The craftsmen began to adjust the direction of the muzzle, and after a while, the fire was fired.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the shells flew out.
The next second, it flew directly to three kilometers away, where there was a wooden house that had been prepared.
"boom!"
The shell hit the wooden house, the whole wooden house was torn apart, and the residual wood splashed dozens of meters!
"hiss--"
Seeing this, Yamamoto Shigekuni's serious face also showed a look of shock, and he took a deep breath.
It wasn't that the power was too great to frighten him, but the distance, a distance of three kilometers.
This range is amazing.
If you have double the range of others in naval battles, what is the concept?
Add in the Conqueror, that steam-powered speed.
As long as you don't encounter strong people or black technology, they are almost invincible.
If the space for movement is large enough, even one ship can hit a hundred ships.
No way, you can hit others, but they can't hit you!
Arthur nodded with satisfaction and asked Dale, "Can all these things be produced?"
"Go back to your majesty, the production line for these things is being assembled, and production can officially start in about a month!" Dale said honestly.
After hearing this, Arthur nodded. One month is not long, and the whole army will soon be able to put on these new equipment.
At that time, the strength of the soldiers of the entire Saint Martin Kingdom will have a big leap forward.
"Okay, let's go down first!" Arthur said to the craftsmen.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The craftsmen nodded respectfully,
Arthur turned to look at Gnar,
"Nar, how are things?" Arthur asked Nal.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the steam textile machine, steam excavator, and steelmaking furnace have been developed, and the test has been completed, and it can be put into production directly!" Nal pushed his glasses and said seriously.
"Okay!" Arthur nodded happily.
Before finishing the digestion of the Felt Kingdom, there was a long period of rest. During this period, it was time to develop the business of the Kingdom of St. Martin.
When there was only St. Maarten Island, except for the annual sailing month, business was carried out on the island, and it was self-sufficient!
With Arthur people researched out the steam ship, after the steam train.
Arthur began to let the people of the Academy of Sciences develop various production tools that use steam as power, which not only produces various items faster, but also produces more.
However, a series of problems follow, such as excess production, excess manpower, etc. After all, there are so many people on the island, how much can they consume?
With less consumption, workers will naturally have no jobs to open, and factories can no longer support so many people, so they are unemployed.
Of course, these things haven't happened yet, but you still have to prepare in advance!
Therefore, it is imperative to dump things throughout the West Sea!
Doing so would not only solve the various problems caused by the advent of the steam-powered production line, but would also make a fortune for the kingdom.
Among them, the fabric spun by the steam textile machine is Arthur's trump card. Although there are textile machines in this world, they are all human-powered textile machines. The speed and cost of steam textile machines cannot be ignored by human-powered textile machines!
In any world, fabric is more important, and even in an era of low productivity, fabric can replace money to a certain extent!
After dealing with these things, Arthur went back to the palace.
Nahr, Giles, and Dale stayed on to study the 98K production line.
