Chapter 908 Water Dragon
In fact, Chen Mu wants to build a fire brigade. Of course, this thing can also be used as a weapon.

Water Dragon Gun, Spray Gun, Fire Dragon Gun, three people, three angles and three methods, completed the further improvement design of this relatively simple but useful thing just that night.

They produced the test model on the second day. At this time, the finished product was far away from the original hand-pressed water pump. It involved public safety, agricultural production, and military weapons. It has become a wonder in Changsheng County.

Chen Mu also had an addiction to arson.

In the vacated house outside the city, I simulated the burning of different houses and furniture seven times. I drove a donkey cart carrying buckets high to avoid running wildly in the market. When I arrived at the gallop, I sprayed wildly and directed my soldiers to rush into the fire. Take out the 'citizens' who are still in the house and put them out before the fire worsens.

Although the so-called "common people" are just two big puppets filled with hundreds of catties of sand and soil, they are still a perfect test of the firefighting process of the fire brigade in this era.

Although the safe distance that can effectively save people is very short, only three miles, if the neighbors do not save themselves beyond this distance, the house will basically be lost. Fortunately, Changsheng’s housing construction has a unified plan, a single house, even if it is adjacent to a street Neighborhoods are also blocked by brick walls, which have a strong flame-retardant ability to prevent further expansion of the fire.

This is enough. With the scale of Changsheng County, only five water dragon teams need to be set up to fully cover the center of the county. A water dragon team only needs a small flag and two water dragon donkey carts. There is no compilation required at all.

Fires don’t happen every day, and within the patrol range of the local inspection and Lijia militia, according to the intention of the county magistrate Zou Yuanbiao, the water dragon can be directly assigned to the patrol post of the inspection department. At an intersection with convenient transportation.

But Chen Mu cares more about professionalism, and he does it well. In his words: "The New World is an experimental field for Ming Dynasty. All new regulations that are different from those in the local area can provide reference for better reforms of Ming Dynasty itself. like."

"What I want is not a part-time firefighting soldier, but a water dragon team that specializes in this matter. It is organized independently. Four captains lead the firefighting banner. There is also a firefighting general banner, who is in charge of firefighting and saving the people. Practice your tactics."

"When the fire comes together, be brave to rescue. Depending on the situation of the fire, cooperate with the inspectors, government officials, Baojia, and Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau. All ministries work closely together to save the people's property, transport water to put out the fire; guard and suppress the fire, maintain order; resettle the injured people, and distribute porridge. Disaster relief, to achieve this goal, not only power, but also welfare.”

"The inspection department has a salary, and there is a bonus for saving lives. The county government is responsible for board and lodging, and the bonuses for the 55 water dragon players are drawn by the people in the county. Commissioner, Zouzhi County, Changsheng has a lot of workers, and there is a big difference in the composition of the people from those cities in Daming, burn it, and then spray it."

When he said this, Chen Mu was in the northern suburbs of Changsheng County commanding the banner army operating the fire dragon to spray flames on a tall cactus on the slope.

The whole body of the fire dragon is made of wood, and the spout is wrapped with thin iron. There is an iron ring connected to it, which contains a disposable spark holder that can be fixed. The method, this thing is for one-time use, and one tube is a fire dragon. When fighting, you always have to click left and right, right?

That's what Chen Mu thought, so he asked the craftsman to make the internal binocular structure, and it seems that the effect is not bad, at least when dealing with targets between ten and twenty steps, the effect has already met his expectations.

The muscular Banner Army was wearing a soaked quilt, carrying a five-packed wooden fire backpack, and stepped forward with a heavy fire dragon gun. When he got to the right position, he strode forward and pushed the gun barrel out suddenly. The kerosene was squeezed and quickly sprayed out of the muzzle, and after being ignited, it burned towards the cactus wearing armor with a terrible sound of wind.

However, the arc of the flame in the air seemed to lack stamina. It fell three steps before the cactus, leaving a fierce line of fire on the ground.

The Banner Army seemed to have been prepared for this, and was not upset. He held the fire dragon gun on his arched thigh, turned his head to Chen Mu and the others, and said, "Report to the commander, the fire dragon really needs to be practiced. You can't go straight to the target. You can't go straight to the target." If you miss it, if it is too heavy, you will burn your body, you should raise the muzzle a few inches before you can hit it!"

Chen Mu originally wanted the Banner Army to use distilled fuel as fuel, but it turned out that the effect was not good. It was difficult to attach, resulting in low lethality, and low relative density would also shorten the spray distance.

What's more, the best distilled oil is too pure, and there is no black smoke when the impurities are low-fired... Chen Mu feels that it is too imposing to burn.

This kind of formidable weapon will create a mess of smoke when it is burned, and it is used to scare people!

Their fire-breathing hand is a strong man specially selected by the army. In the past, he was the front-ranking wolf hand in Nanyang. The fire dragon gun requires a lot of strength from the user. Without strength, the already very short range will be further reduced. , if the fuel affects the range again, this is the weapon that hits itself.

Chen Mu nodded: "Very good, burn it again."

The fire on the ground has gradually decreased and tended to go out within a few breaths. There is no attachment on the loess and it cannot burn for too long. When the fire-breathing hand raises the muzzle for the second time to spray out the flame, the arc of the flame is accurate The ground fell on the cactus target, and the cactus wrapped in clothes and armor was instantly swallowed by the flames and thick smoke.

"This is a good weapon. It has great lethality and is practical. The next thing we need is to make it more reliable in design. There will be no such stable chances of firing on the battlefield. As for our tinder rack, it has not been sprayed yet in the war." The fire went off, splashing oil all over others."

Chen Mu's words made Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Shizhen and several veteran craftsmen of the Military Weapons Bureau laugh. It was just that the actions were big or small. They all knew that "splashing someone else's body with oil" was a very likely reality, and they couldn't even do it. It's an accident, after all, their fire structure and even the whole weapon are really sloppy.

This kind of weapon with great power, amazing damage, and easy damage needs nothing more than stability. Only stability can ensure that it will not accidentally injure its own people, which is more important than hurting people.

"When the new design is initially completed, the next war will allow the firemen to hide in the guns. I still believe that there is no army in the world that can stand face to face with my banner army within ten steps without being defeated. If there is one, let them charge Send them to Emperor Taizu with a fire dragon."

Calling the flag army to put the fire dragon gun aside and unload the heavy wet quilt, Chen Mu told Zhao and Zou: "Not only should we compile the book on water pressure, but also compile it together with the air pressure. We also have some understanding of air pressure. , to pave the way for future generations.”

　Good morning!
