Chapter 325 Kongming Lantern
"Hey, since you, Fuhai, are here, of course I want you to help me with things. I don't care if I want to hide and relax! But you should rest for ten days and half a month, and we'll talk about it before it's too late."
Xiao Chen knew that this fellow was also a workaholic. In order to make a wheelchair for Jiangdong King Li Shi, the two of them once went without food or drink for a day and a night...
"But it's strange. I really don't feel tired. Even if I'm tired, I won't be tired after seeing you, Boss. I feel at ease! Dafu said that if I survive a catastrophe, there must be future blessings. Now it's just It's time to enjoy the blessings... What did this brother say about blooming cannons? I don't know how to bloom?" Liu Fuhai moved closer to the lunatic.
"You also know firearms?" The lunatic said in his heart that you, a dead eunuch, know nothing!
"Just understand a little bit. After all, firearms are just gunpowder. They are no different from fireworks and firecrackers. In fact, I heard you talking just now. Do you want to put fuses in the projectiles? That's not good, it's better It would be great to have a trigger mechanism that explodes as soon as it touches it!" Liu Fuhai really understood, and he hit the point in one sentence.
"The projectile is round. Where is your trigger mechanism installed? Besides, the projectile will spin around when it is fired. How can it just hit the mechanism? Besides, your thing is too unsafe. If you accidentally miss it Landed, didn't it just blow up?" Dugulou felt that he was talking nonsense.
"Hehe, who said it has to be round? Can an ellipse be okay? It's like a mallet, and if you install a tail fin behind its buttocks, it won't turn around? In addition, you can make a few in the gun barrel. A curved line, so that it can go straight when fired." The curved line Liu Fuhai said is the rifling.
"What do you do, man?" The lunatic was overjoyed when he heard that, this man is an expert!
"Our family is the chief eunuch of the Imperial Treasure Supervisor in the palace!" Liu Fuhai said.
"Then how do you know about firearms?" the lunatic wondered.
"I'm not bragging to you, brother. As long as it's about manufacturing, I know a little bit about firearms, woodware, and porcelain. It's just that I'm not very proficient. I barely understand." , never humble.
"Hehe, Fu Hai's technology is fine. He is the one who is talking about the supernatural workmanship. He was the first one to build our heating system." Xiao Chen laughed.
"That's not true, it's your invention, Boss, I just did it." Liu Fuhai said.
"Please sit down, let's talk in detail." The lunatic immediately looked up to him several times.
"Let's talk, let's talk from the beginning. I just heard what you mean. This artillery is going to be installed on a small boat? The recoil shouldn't be too strong. It's easy to dry out the bottom of the boat. Let me tell you..." Liu Fuhai sat down happily.
"Okay, it's enough that there are lunatics in this matter, and you don't want to get involved. Now our artillery is only used temporarily, and the requirements don't need to be too high. If you want to follow your wishes, I'm afraid it won't be produced in half a year. , If you want to chat with me, go out and chat, don't bother them."
Xiao Chen knew Liu Fuhai too well. Basically, there was nothing wrong with this person. If there was anything wrong with him, it would mean that no matter what he did, he was too striving for perfection, which was a serious obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Just like the wheelchair they made for Li Shi back then, although Xiao Chen proposed the original design concept, he perfected it to the point of being picky!
Among other things, he has designed dozens of solutions for the cushions on the seats, and even if he feels a little uncomfortable when he tries to sit on them, he must replace them and start over!
For this reason Xiao Chen often scolded him for being mentally ill, but he just couldn't get rid of this problem.
Moreover, this person is usually friendly, smiling, and has a surprisingly good temper, but as long as his professional and technical matters are involved, he is like a different person, and he will lose his temper at every turn. Chen can quarrel!
If he cooperates with the lunatic, there will be a quarrel within a short time, or even a fight...
There can be no two tigers in one mountain, one lunatic in the arsenal is enough, and there can be no more.
"What are you doing? I had a good chat with this brother." Liu Fuhai was still not very happy, and was still reluctant to part after going out.
"Don't worry, Fu Hai, there are many people like you and lunatics here. Later, I will introduce Gongsunban Liu Tiebi and the others to you, and I promise you can chat well...Fu Hai, it's good if you come, I I really want to talk to you about something, do you know Kongming Lantern?" Xiao Chen said.
"I know, what's the matter?" Liu Fuhai wondered, "It's not a festival, what are you doing with Kongming lanterns?"
Xiao Chen didn't want to make Kongming lanterns, he wanted to make hot air balloons!
This idea has been in his mind for a long time, but it is still only in the theoretical stage.
Xiao Chen's rich theoretical knowledge is unmatched by anyone in the world, because he has traveled through time...
But his hands-on ability is average, and he is lazy.
There are so many things going on in Yanyun County now, lunatics, Gongsun and his group of big craftsmen are busy running around, it is hard for him to find someone to help him with this thing.
Liu Fuhai doesn't understand military affairs, and he doesn't know that Kongming lanterns are not only used by ordinary people to pray for blessings, but are also used in military affairs.
Why is it called Kongming Lantern? It was invented by Zhuge Kongming.
It is said that Zhuge Liang's army was besieged in Pingyang by Sima Yi, and he had no way to go out of the city to ask for help, so he had an idea and came up with this wonderful way.
He first calculated the wind direction, then made a paper lantern, and hung the distress letter on it. After the Kongming lantern floated out of the city, it was intercepted by his own people, so he sent troops to rescue.
Up to now, sky lanterns have always been one of the important tools used to lead generals to command operations and transmit military signal intelligence.
Xiao Chen thought of hot air balloons only after seeing the Kongming lanterns. Kongming lanterns can transmit information, so wouldn't hot air balloons be more capable?
Not only can it transmit information, it can even be used directly on the battlefield!
Think about it, when the two armies are facing each other, let a few hot air balloons float over each other, drop a few thunderbolts from above, and bloom all over the enemy's formation, what is the quality of that?
Now Xiao Chen has the army, and the navy is almost here, the only thing missing is the air force.
Although there are no planes, who said that hot air balloons cannot be counted as belonging to the Air Force?
As long as it is used properly, the effect of three-dimensional combat will be amazing.
Before the enemy army was amazed, Liu Fuhai was amazed first.
"Oh, boss, this idea of yours is really amazing... Carrying people on Kongming lanterns, ah no, hot air balloons? Don't even mention it, it's really possible!" Liu Fuhai was immediately intoxicated by Xiao Chen's bold idea In the middle, I can't extricate myself.
"Fu Hai, don't think too much about it. The primary purpose of our making this hot air balloon is naval warfare. We may attack Shunfeng Harbor around next spring. I don't care how you design and manufacture it, but the most important thing is it. practicality, and the time is tight, do you understand?"
Xiao Chen was afraid that he would play tricks again.
