Chapter 152 150. Smokeless Gunpowder and Modification of Firearms Drawings

"what are these?"

Xiaowan looked at these bottles and asked.

"It's some experimental supplies. If you want to make better gunpowder, you need to use these things."

Ruan Tang said, bent down and took out a large beaker from a cabinet.

There were some black granular things in it. She pursed her lips and looked at Ren Pingsheng.

Knowing the dangers of the outside world, she has a strong sense of crisis for her own safety.

In addition, the dark clouds of war began to brew in the sky, and she felt even more insecure in this world alone.

These days, I took the time to get out the smokeless gunpowder, and rubbed a pistol for myself.

I plan to rub out some more pistols and pop them out, so that in the face of danger, I can at least have a certain amount of self-protection.

Now, Ren Pingsheng came to her because of the gunpowder matter, and she could have pretended not to understand and push it away.

But the other party helped her more than once, and she is not a person who does not repay her kindness.

But she didn't know if it would be a good thing for this world to hand over these dangerous things to the man in front of her.

I don't know if this is a good thing for me, I don't know if I get a reward or a prisoner.

For her, this is an adventure.

"Is this gunpowder?"

Liu Wen couldn't hold his breath, looked at the black particles in the glass, and instinctively told him that this might be the smokeless gunpowder he had dreamed of!
He was a little excited.

"Correct."

Ruan Tang nodded: "This is smokeless gunpowder. Compared with black powder, it can bring greater power when used as propellant.

It is usually stored, transported, and used because it has a higher ignition point and is safer. "

"May I take a look at it?"

Liu Wenzheng asked.

Ruan Tang pushed the beaker over.

Liu Wen stretched out his hand and pinched a pinch out, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully.

But how could it be possible to tell just by looking at this thing, he asked expectantly, "Can you teach me?"

He has already admitted that the woman in front of him is really an expert.

Since Ruan Tang had taken out the smokeless gunpowder for Ren Pingsheng's sake, he was naturally not stingy in teaching these things to Liu Wen.

Immediately, he took out his own tools, starting from raw materials, refining nitric acid, sulfuric acid, making nitrocellulose, refining ether, ethanol, and diphenylamine, and finally synthesizing it into a dried colloidal slice.

Taking Liu Wen through the complete steps, this deeply shocked Liu Wen.

For the first time, he knew the real function of the experiment, and knew that the collision of various substances could produce so many changes.

Even after studying with the books given by the host for several months and watching videos on the tablet for more than two months, this is the first time he has felt the charm of science so intuitively!

He was extremely sure that the woman in front of him had extremely knowledgeable experience and knowledge that far surpassed his!
At this moment, he had the idea of ​​"death to death at night after hearing about Taoism", and he didn't even want to go back to be an engineering section chief. He just wanted to be an apprentice in this small courtyard that looked very inconspicuous from the outside, and this Learned women study this magical and charming knowledge!

He recorded carefully, recorded the whole process deeply in his heart, memorized every important step repeatedly, and confirmed it with what he had learned from books and videos before, many places that were difficult to tackle before, now suddenly see the light.

In particular, many of the betting points that stuck with them before, the synthesis of those basic materials, after listening to it now, suddenly realized that they knew which direction to look for the answer.

When everyone came out of the laboratory, it was almost dark outside.

At this time, Liu Wencai realized that his hands and feet were already numb.

"By the way, Miss Ruan, this is a new type of firecracker we designed, which is more convenient than the current military firecrackers, but it often gets stuck and doesn't work very well."

After finally catching the expert, Liu Wen took out a piece of paper from his breast pocket.

On it is a drawing drawn in charcoal, marking the appearance and size of the firearm.

Ruan Tang took a look and found that it looked like a classic old gun on the earth - 98K.

"The technology in this world is higher than I imagined."

Looking at this drawing, she couldn't help thinking.

A gun reflects all aspects, at least Ruan Tang can see the content of basic materials, basic knowledge, design level, forging technology, productivity and so on.

According to this design drawing, the technological level and productivity of this era are much more advanced than what I imagined during the Ming Dynasty.

"Where's the bullet? What's it like?"

she asked.

"Miss Ruan, look."

Liu Wen deliberately brought a few bullets, which happened to be taken out at this time.

Ruan Tang looked at the bullets Liu Wen gave him, and found that even the bullets were very similar to the rifle bullets on the earth.

Judging from these firearms and bullets, the world's technological level, at least the level of firearms, may have reached the level of the pre-World War I.

Then, it seems unreliable to rely on a small pistol to protect yourself.

While thinking about it, Ruan Tang took out a charcoal pencil, changed a few parameters on the drawing, and slightly changed the structure of the gun body.

In the end, I re-drawn one on the drawing, and drew the design drawing and parameters separately for the modified accessories.

Finally, I drew another object with springs, hinges and the like.

"In this way, the problem is solved. With such a gun body structure, although some firearm performance will be sacrificed, at least the rolled bullets can be shot out. Even if there is a slight difference in the caliber of the bullets, there is no problem.

In addition, the last thing can help the workers to roll the copper bullet case by hand. It can be rolled out without much effort, and the yield rate is higher than that of your bullet. "

Ruan Tang returned the drawings to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen, who took over the blueprints, also disbelieved Ruan Tang at the beginning, then became skeptical later, and now he has been completely convinced by Ruan Tang's ability.

"Miss Ruan really lived up to my expectations, if it's useful to Ren, just tell Xiaowan.

In addition, Miss Ruan's set of things in the west wing, I don't know the price, can you sell us a set? "

Ren Pingsheng asked.

"I'll send you if you need..."

"No need, I'm not short of money, why don't we just ask for 50 taels, how about I ask Xiao Wan to come over in three days?"

Ren Pingsheng said directly.

"it is good."

Ruan Tang was no longer polite to Ren Pingsheng.

"So, it's getting late, so we won't disturb Miss Ruan's rest."

Ren Pingsheng took advantage of the opportunity to bid farewell.

After sending the three of Ren Pingsheng away, Ruan Tang returned to the roof with a rather heavy expression.

"He must be investigating me! Otherwise, how would he know that I made smokeless gunpowder?"

She thought silently.

Ruan Tang felt that the other party must have known that he was making gunpowder through the materials he bought from the outside world, so he came to visit this time.

After all, the other party can also make black powder, and it is not difficult to infer that he is making gunpowder from the raw materials he bought.

"Also, who is this Ren Pingsheng? If he's just a businessman, why do he study these guns and gunpowder? Is it the white gloves of the imperial court or some warlord force? Or does he have another identity?"
