However, if you want to equip every soldier with standard guns, it is still too early, and it can even be said that they do not have such capabilities at all!
Even the most primitive and ancient gunpowder lead shot gun is impossible in a short time.
As for the power of the explosive itself?
Just look at the results of this experiment.
If it is left to later generations, it will be at the level of a detonator at best. It looks powerful and the sound is deafening, but its lethality is not very strong. Unless it is blown close to the body or tied to a person's body, it is difficult to ensure that it kills people.
However, even if the effect this time was not so outstanding, it did not meet Cao Ang's expectations.
Then Cao Ang will continue to invest in Guan Yu's research on gunpowder.
Because this gunpowder must be a new trend in the future, if it can be grasped in advance, it will definitely be able to grasp the initiative on the historical stage.
On the one hand, there is one more weapon and one more choice, and on the other hand, it can also accumulate the technology about gunpowder.
Although this gunpowder cannot be popularized in a short period of time, even for a period of time in the future, gunpowder will not be able to play an overwhelming role in civil wars.
However, if the technology gradually develops and matures in the future, the invention of gunpowder will definitely shock the crowd.
Once the gunpowder technology is mature, it will allow the barbarians who are not very obedient in the Quartet to have a good experience of what is meant by divine punishment from heaven!
The appearance of this gunpowder will definitely drive the development of hot weapons. As for whether cold weapons will be eliminated in the future, Cao Ang thinks that it is basically impossible, at least not within the next few decades. of.
From the appearance of hot weapons to the complete domination of the battlefield, it has generally gone through hundreds of years of development. Even in the nineteenth century, Napoleon's morale, soldiers still had to be equipped with swords.
Therefore, Cao Ang did not expect to be able to sweep all directions with this hot weapon made of gunpowder.
In the future, as long as it can reach the level of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and even the level of open fire weapons, it will be very good.
As for the current stage, Cao Ang just hopes to add a tactical option to partially apply it to the navy and city offensive and defensive, so as to enhance the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Cao army.
"Kong Ming, you have done a good job, but although the preliminary research has achieved results, the current power is limited, and it is even a bit unsatisfactory."
"I hope you can find out the shortcomings of the current gunpowder, and then further improve the gunpowder to make it stronger, with the ability to open mountains and break rocks and invincible."
"At that time, the enemy's city wall is simply vulnerable to us! Kong Ming, you have to understand that this gunpowder is an artifact of the country, I hope you must pay attention to it."
After Zhuge Liang heard what Cao Ang said, he also responded solemnly: "Kong Ming understands! Please rest assured, General, Kong Ming has a good plan in mind at the moment about how to develop this gunpowder weapon."
Zhuge Liang didn't talk big. At this time, he already had inspiration about the application of gunpowder.
Although the power of gunpowder is not that great now.
However, when the gunpowder explodes, it is enough to generate a large amount of light and heat.
Zhuge Liang felt that gunpowder could be used as a combustion-supporting detonation, combined with fuel barrels, or a large amount of gunpowder could be directly made into explosive barrels, and then launched by warship parabolic devices to attack enemy ships.
enemy ships.
It is entirely made of wood.
Such an attack, as long as it takes one hit, is simply unbearable.
The only thing Zhuge Liang has to solve now is how to increase the accuracy of the launching device to ensure that the attack can increase the hit rate.
And this is not difficult for Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying. With their attainments in the field of engineering machinery, they can completely create a set of weapons that are accurate enough to launch incendiary barrels and explosive barrels.
Thoughts on Zhuge Liang.
Cao Ang expressed his appreciation and recognition.
At this stage, it is obviously impossible to come up with artillery.
Even if you can get it out, you can't achieve mass production.
But Zhuge Liang's idea is very suitable for naval warfare.
"You can go ahead and do it. As for manpower and material resources, the imperial court will support it. I only have one request, no matter the cost, produce results in the fastest time, and put them into use as soon as possible."
Paused.
He glanced south.
Unify the world.
Should be as fun as possible.
Otherwise, many things are not easy to do.
Zhuge Liang understood Cao Ang's thoughts, "Please rest assured, General!"
Cao Ang is frantically focusing on production, technology, and shipbuilding here. He believes that Sun Ce and the others will not be idle. The pressure caused by the Ying family is so great, and there is not much window left for them. They must be preparing for the battle now.
Cao Wei's power is growing.
More and more popular in the Central Plains.
After Guan Yu guarded Hanzhong.
Formed a strong pressure on Liu Zhang and Liu Biao.
Under the oppression of this increasingly strong sense of crisis, the two finally made many compromises during the negotiations and accelerated their plan to jointly fight against Cao.
nowadays.
Lu Su wandered among the three forces.
His role is to maintain the relationship of the alliance.
This person is as wise as a child, stable and reliable, so he is recognized by Liu Zhang and Liu Biao, as well as a newcomer.
Zhou Yu became the supreme commander of the coalition forces.
After all, Zhou Yu's talent is obvious to all. Due to the pressure of the current situation and his determination to fight Wei Wei, Liu Biao had to make this decision.
Once the three forces are separated.
It is impossible to fight against Cao Wei alone.
Only by working together can we win.
Everyone knows this.
Among the three powers, Liu Zhang is fatuous and incompetent and has no assertiveness. Liu Biao is too old to have enough energy.
Sun Ce is here.
