Chapter 225 Water Dragon

In fact, Chen Mu wanted to build a fire brigade, and 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. Just that night, this relatively simple but very useful thing was completed and further improved.

The next day they created the test model. At this time, the finished product was gradually moving away from the first hand-pressure water pump, involving three aspects: public safety, agricultural production, and military weapons. The Minister of the East Asians drove a donkey cart to take the lead in burning houses and became a wonder of Changsheng County.

Chen Mu also got into a fire.

In the yard vacated outside the city, the furniture burning was simulated seven times. The donkey cart carrying buckets was lifted up and ran high in the street market. They rushed to the back and squirted, and commanded their personal soldiers to rush into the fire to pick up the "people" who were still in the house, and put out the fire before the deterioration of the fire.

Although the so-called "people" are just two large puppets containing hundreds of kilograms of sand and soil, they still perfectly tested the firefighting process of the fire brigade in this era.

Although the safe distance that can effectively save people is very close, only three miles away, if there are no neighbors to save themselves, the house will basically not be kept. Fortunately, Changsheng's house construction has a unified plan and a unique courtyard. Even the neighbors of a street are blocked by brick walls, which has strong flame retardant capabilities to prevent the fire from further expanding.

This is enough. With the scale of Changsheng County, only five water dragon teams are needed to fully cover the center of the county. A water dragon team only needs the organization of a small flag and two water dragon gun donkey carts. In fact, there is no need to be organized at all.

The fire did not happen every day, and within the patrol scope of local inspections and Lijia militias, according to the meaning of the magistrate Zou Yuanbiao, the water dragon gun should be directly placed into the post office of the inspection department. Anyway, their post offices are all at convenient intersections.

But Chen Mu cares more about professionalism, and does it well if you want to do it. In his words, "The New World is a test field of the Ming Dynasty. All the new regulations that are different from the local area can provide a reference for the Ming Dynasty's own better reforms and make a case."

"What I want is not a part-time firefighting soldier, but a water dragon team specializing in this matter. It is independently organized. Four captains are responsible for the title of a small fire-fighting flag, and a general fire-fighting flag. They are responsible for extinguishing fires and helping people. They study fire-fighting and practice tactics on weekdays."

"At the same time, we are brave enough to rescue. We work with the inspectors, yamen runners, Baojia, and Huimin Pharmacy Bureau according to the fire. The ministries cooperate closely to rescue the people's property, transport water to put out the fire; warns and maintain order; resettle the injured people and provide porridge to rescue disasters. To achieve this goal, we must not only have power but also benefits."

"The inspection department has a salary, and there must be a bonus for rescue. Food and accommodation are the responsibility of the county government. The bonus for the fifty-five water dragon team members is collected by the county people every month for each household to collect one penny for Tongbao. In addition, there should be a specialist who cleans the streets, Zou Magistrate, and there are many workers who always win. They are very different from those local cities in the Ming Dynasty. If you burn it, you will spray it again."

When he said this, Chen Mu was commanding the flag army operating the Fire Dragon Gun in the northern suburbs of Changsheng County to spew the flames towards a tall cactus on the earth slope.

The fire dragon gun is made of wood, wrapped in thin iron at the nozzle. It is connected to an iron ring, which holds a fixed disposable fire bracket. The inside of the spray drum is a double-tube structure for secondary jetting. There is no way, this thing is a one-time use, and one tube is a fire dragon. When fighting, you have to go to the left and right?

That's what Chen Mu thought, so he asked the craftsman to make an internal double-tube structure, which looked pretty good. At least when dealing with the goal between ten and twenty steps, the effect could meet his expectations.

The strong-body flag army was wearing a wet quilt and carrying a five-unit wooden fire backpack. They walked forward with a heavy fire dragon gun, stole the horse when they reached the right position, and suddenly pushed the gun barrel out. The turbulent oil was squeezed and sprayed out of the muzzle quickly. After igniting, it burned towards the cactus wearing armor and clothes with a terrible sound.

However, the arc of the flame in the air seemed to be somewhat insufficient. It fell into the front of the cactus three steps, leaving a fierce line of fire on the ground. The fire was swift and several breaths were not extinguished. A large amount of black smoke burning from oil soared into the sky.

The flag army seemed to have been prepared for this, and was not upset. They carried the fire dragon gun on their arched thighs and turned to Chen Mu and others and said, "Report to the commander, the fire dragon really needs to be practiced. Do not hit the target directly. At the least, it is not hit, and at the worst, it is burned. You should raise the gun several inches to hit it!"

Chen Mu originally wanted the flag army to use distilled fuel as fuel, but found that the effect was not good, and it was difficult to adhere to cause low lethality and low relative density, which would also make the injection distance closer.

What's more, the oil that is the best distilled is too pure, and the impurities are low and there is no black smoke when there is no fever... Chen Mu feels that it is too impatient when there is burning.

Such powerful weapons will be chaotic when burned and are used to scare people!

Their fire spitter is a strongman specially selected by the army. In the past, it was the wolf spitter at the forefront of the battle formation in Nanyang. The fire dragon gun has high requirements for the user's strength. Without strength, it will further reduce the already close range. If the fuel affects the range, it will be a weapon to attack.

Chen Mu nodded: "It's very good, let's burn it again."

The fire on the ground has slowly decreased and tended to extinguish within a few breaths. No attachments can be burned on the loess for too long. When the fire spits out the fire for the second time, the flames drew a curve and landed accurately on the cactus target. The cactus wrapped in clothes and armor was instantly swallowed by the flames and smoke.

"This is a good weapon, with great lethality and practicality. What is needed below is to make it more reliable in design. There will be no such stable chance of firing on the battlefield. Our firefight will fall off before the fire breaks out and splash others with oil."

Chen Mu's words made Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Shizhen and several old craftsmen in the Military Weapon Bureau laughed. It was nothing more than a big or small movement. They all knew that "splashing others with oil" was a very likely reality, and it could not even be said to be an accident. After all, their fire structure and even their entire weapon were indeed very sloppy.

This weapon with great power, amazing damage, and easy damage is not something else that needs most, but stability. Only stability can ensure that it will not harm its own people by chance. This is more important than hurting people.

"When the new design is initially completed, the next war will allow the fire soldiers to hide in the gun's hands. I still believe that no army in the world can face my flag army and face ten steps without defeat. If so, send them to Emperor Taizu with a fire dragon before they charge."

Hearing the flag army to put the fire dragon gun aside and remove the heavy wet quilt. Chen Mu ordered Zhao and Zou, "Not only should we compile water pressure books, but also with air pressure. We also have some understanding of air pressure and pave the way for future generations."
