Chapter 348 If you don’t let me practice, you might as well let me die!
"Being an emperor is not a matter of words!" Xu Ziling sighed: "Kou Zhong, you will be very busy in the future."
Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were born as orphans, and their families were ruined due to Yang Guang's mischief, the recruitment of civilians to build the Grand Canal, and the expedition to Korea.
As a result, their feelings about the tyrant's harsh rule are much deeper than those who just stand in the distance and talk with their mouths.
It was also Xu Ziling's wish to find a wise king for the people of the world so that no more children would end up in their situation.
"Isn't this all for the people of the world! As long as the people live well, no matter how hard and tired I am, what does it matter?" Kou Zhong said with deep feeling.
Xu Ziling: "..."
He found that Kou Zhong learned a lot from his master, but when it came to shamelessness and shamelessness, Kou Zhong definitely learned the best.
"By the way, where are the new-style armies? Have you understood their fighting methods? Don't discover a big flaw only at a critical moment." Xu Ziling said.
After taking control of the Haisha Gang, Kou Zhong began to use the knowledge taught by Murphy to climb the technological tree.
In addition to using the method of drying salt and reducing the dimensionality of the method of frying salt, they also began to use Professor Murphy's knowledge of black powder and firearms to start building a new type of army.
The chemistry knowledge that modern people learn in middle school makes people remember the jingle of nitrate, disulfide, and charcoal in their hearts.
Refers to the old-fashioned steelyard that uses sixteen taels per pound to weigh one pound of soil saltpeter or fire saltpeter, that is, potassium nitrate, two ounces of sulfur, and three ounces of charcoal. The mass ratio of the three is 16:2:3.
But in fact, the gunpowder prepared in this ratio is not the best. The standard formula of modern black gunpowder is 75% nitrate, 10% sulfur, and 15% charcoal. This ratio can achieve the best combustion efficiency and explosive power. Among them, saltpeter is an oxidant, which can decompose to produce a large amount of oxygen, which can be used by gunpowder to burn in a closed space, producing the energy to explode or propel projectiles.
The problem of the best ratio of gunpowder formula has not been solved by the Chinese nation for more than a thousand years, but now this highly concentrated wisdom was summed up by Mo Fei in just one sentence, saving thousands of years of opportunities in the Tang Dynasty. .
Black powder was produced, and accordingly, primary firearms and explosives using gunpowder could emerge.
Of course, it is impossible for modern firearms to reappear in this world for the time being, because there are no processing machine tools. Forcing firearms will only be a waste of time and energy. The flintlock gun is enough for Kou Zhong to use.
The flintlock gun is an improvement on the musket. The steel wheel is removed, and a flint is clamped on the jaw of the hammer. There is an anvil next to the fire hole. When shooting, the trigger is pulled. Under the action of the spring, the flint was hit hard on the edge of the fire door, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder and fire it. It greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, and has low cost and is convenient for mass production.
In the middle of the 17th century, many European armies were generally equipped with flintlock guns. It lasted for more than 1848 years in 200.
Now Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have gained as much wealth as a mountain of gold because of selling private salt, but their purpose is not to make money. They are all trying to pacify the world as soon as possible and invest all their money in black powder and flintlock guns!
By now, Kou Zhong already has an army of 5,000 men equipped with flintlock muskets. According to Kou Zhong's estimation, this new army of 5,000 men is probably comparable to the elite old army of 50,000 men, with both hot and cold weapons. , are essentially two concepts.
And he also established a teaching system, and there will be a steady stream of soldiers in the future.
What limits the number of new armies now is not the number of people, but the number of flintlock guns.
Even though they have developed black powder, new steel, and mature flintlock technology, they lack enough craftsmen.
"When master explained this knowledge to us, because you were not very interested in it and I was very interested in it, master gave me a small lesson alone." Kou Zhong said with a smile: "So for the new army, I I know more than you think! Coupled with the actual combat training these days... There may be some problems when encountering the elite among the elites like the Xiaoguo Army, but against the Jianghuai Army, they are more like beggars than Like an army of soldiers, what’s the problem?”

The dragon boat was in a mess, and Empress Xiao and Dugu Feng appeared again.
