Chapter 984: The Development of Firearms

In many cases, professional soldiers have to listen to orders more, not to mention that there are many elite soldiers in this place, and there is even a team of ninth-level soldiers.

These are all the news that Qin Shuo and his shadow guards exchanged for the news at the price of their lives. In this way, it was hard to get so much news.

In fact, Qin Shuo now feels that he owes those soldiers a lot, and there are too many sacrifices, although all of them are voluntary.

Now Qin Shuo actually took out a lot of warehouses from his own warehouse at the first time. After all, this warehouse has already been occupied by himself, so it is normal to say that it is his own.

In fact, at first Qin Shuo guessed that there should be hundreds of firecrackers inside, but after opening the warehouse, he was actually shocked by the number of firecrackers inside.

Just a rough estimate, in fact, there should be about a thousand firecrackers inside, and the most important thing is that Qin Shuo and the others still captured a lot of craftsmen who made the firecrackers.

Because the current system is limited, it will not be possible to create it in the future. But these craftsmen who can make firecrackers are different, they are the kind that are completely free from any restrictions.

In fact, the firecracker is different from the musket. The firecracker is actually something more similar to a shotgun, but the power of the musket is also greater.

Generally speaking, at the beginning, all the firecrackers used bamboo tubes as the gun body, and then filled a large amount of black powder inside, as well as some stones, iron sand and the like.

The front part is a thick bamboo tube, but the swollen part in the middle of the back is the gunpowder chamber where they put gunpowder, and the back is a wooden stick that can be held.

But in fact, the production technology of this era is also very limited, so the general shooting range is actually about 100 meters, and his shooting accuracy is also very difficult to control.

There is also the fact that the durability of those things is not strong. After all, they are also made of bamboo. For such a reason, they basically cannot be used.

But now they have actually improved the firecrackers to a certain extent, so the current firecrackers are already progressing very quickly.

In fact, the current firecrackers are generally directly improved by them to be made of copper casting, and the internal structure has also been greatly adjusted.

In fact, if the firecracker is directly applied to the water battle, it is actually

Yes, this is actually the most basic artillery.

But this thing, in fact, their steam ships have actually been successfully cast, and now they can fire some small shells.

The firecrackers before Qin Shuo's eyes were actually not simple things. They were all a new type of firecrackers, called three-eyed blunderbusses, which could be fired three times in a row.

Moreover, ordinary cavalry can also be carried. Generally speaking, those soldiers can basically be released immediately, which is actually of great benefit to them.

In fact, ordinary bows and arrows are still a bit bulky, but now these things are different, and they can be easily carried without adding too much burden to oneself.

After all, the Zhuge Liannu was also that big. In the past, Qin Shuo was going to let these cavalry carry those Zhuge Liannu on the field. If this was the case, it would definitely damage the flexibility of the soldiers.

If a cavalryman loses his own flexibility, he almost loses all his positive effects, and now the appearance of firecrackers obviously makes up for this deficiency.

Moreover, after using the three-eyed gun, it can actually be recycled, and after it is used up, it can also be used to attack with the remaining body of the gun.

Hitting others, so there is definitely no way to deny it in terms of its effect.

In fact, now Qin Shuo also feels that his society seems to be slowly becoming the same. In the past, he completely relied on cold weapons, but now he slowly develops those firearms.

For the research on firearms, one thing is to increase one's own efforts. In addition to the research on firearms, there are still many other researches. This is also a very important point.

Now Qin Shuo is actually planning to carry out a step-by-step reform of his firearms team. In fact, the shooting formation now belongs to a mobile formation.

The whole day is basically in a kind of movement, so there is such a benefit, and there is another kind that is actually passing the formation.

If the number of firecrackers is still relatively small, in fact, the most suitable one is a mobile formation, but now there are more people, so it is also necessary to switch to a mobile formation.

In this case, there is a great benefit to the whole, and it can still be launched quickly to form an integrated effect, which is to maximize the role of firearms.

Firearms need to be in such a large quantity to be acceptable. If the quantity is small, it is simply impossible to form any firearms.

That's too much damage, especially now that the accuracy is low.

So formation is a very important thing at this time. In the past, Qin Shuo didn't have any firearms because he had fewer firearms.

There are some improvements for these formation deployments.

But now at this time, he also has thousands of firecrackers in his hand, so it is necessary for him to make some changes to these formations now.

In fact, he also learned about Fusang before, and now Fusang is actually a rather strange situation. In fact, although they have a certain understanding of firearms now, they don't know about that firearm very often.

Most of them actually have a negative opinion on the development of firearms, and most of them are unwilling to develop such things, feeling that such things are completely a burden.

Now that firearms have developed to this level, there are actually some people who insist, otherwise they would not have developed so well.

For example, the current sailors, although they are equipped with a lot of firearms, but they have a little disdain for firearms in their hearts, so the navy on board is still in the same state as before, and what they use is still the same. It's the same cold weapon.
