Zhao Ming is very much looking forward to the flowering bullet.

If it can be produced in large quantities and equipped with a large army, it will definitely be able to improve the combat power of Donghai Town.

This thing is not available in the West yet. The artillery team in Donghai Town can use it in large quantities, which can give the infantry a powerful firepower and change the way of war.

If the navy can use the flowering bullet, the Donghai Town will traverse the sea without fear of the Western barbarians.

At this time, during naval battles, the main use of solid bombs, chain bombs and other artillery shells. When hitting the warship, it can only create a hole for the warship and splash wood chips, which has limited lethality to the crew. It is difficult for the shells to destroy the hull structure under the sea level. The upper layer of the warship is often smashed and still not sunk. In the end, it can only fight against the male and female in close combat.

If a flowering bullet is used, one shot hit, the explosion can easily tear the wooden warship apart, sweep a section of the deck, killing a large number of sailors and crew members on the ship, causing a fire. Donghai Town can slaughter the sailors and crew members on the enemy warship before the battle on the sidelines, and easily win the sea battle.

The flowering bullets were used in naval battles and needed to be pushed forward for more than a hundred years. The emergence of the flowering bullets made wooden warships unable to meet the needs of naval battles. The British and French navy immediately developed ironclad ships to create "glory" and "warriors" to deal with such upgraded artillery shells.

With a command from Zhao Ming, Chen Yujie immediately ordered the gunners and craftsmen to load, and ordered the soldiers to set up a shooting range.

The flowering bullet leans against the explosion, and the shrapnel and internal iron beads emitted from the flying bombs, killing the enemy, so the target is a human-shaped target.

The soldiers inserted nearly a hundred targets on the hillside, and at this time, the craftsmen and gunners had completed the loading.

"Master, please step back a little, you'll be testing the shooting soon!" Seeing that the loading was completed, Chen Yujie reminded him.

The cannon itself has the risk of explosion, and the risk of launching a flowering bullet with gunpowder inside increases exponentially.

Chen Yujie was very sure of having tried the fire before, so he invited Zhao Ming to inspect, but he was afraid of everything. If Zhao Ming exploded during the fireworks test, the joke would be big.

In order to build flowering bullets, several craftsmen were killed by the hospital. Zhao Ming did not dare to joke about his name, so he was busy with Chen Yujie and others retreated aside.

At this time, after the distance from the cannon was widened, Zhao Ming then said: "Let's start!"

Chen Yujie ordered the slightest command, and the officials of the artillery team waved the flag. The gunner who received the order immediately ignited the lead line, then turned around and covered his ears and squatted on the ground.

Then he heard a deafening sound of "boom". The cannon suddenly retreated, and a ball of white smoke instantly rose from the muzzle.

Zhao Ming stared at the cannon and felt the trembling of the earth. He saw a black shell rushing out of the flames and smoke and landing on the distant hillside.

When the artillery is fired, extremely high temperature and pressure will be generated in the barrel, which can easily melt and destroy the outer wall of the flowering bullet, ignite the internal gunpowder, and cause the explosion of the chamber.

This is the first problem that needs to be considered when creating a flowering bullet. When Zhao Ming saw the shells successfully fly out of the muzzle, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The shells shot out from the muzzle, which means that the Duzuoyuan has overcome the first problem, so there is only one problem left, which is how to control the explosion of the flowering bomb.

If the explosion was too early, the shells exploded directly in the air not long after they were out of the barrel, and it became a big firework, which had no practical significance. The explosion was too complete and it exploded half a sound after landing, which gave the enemy troops time to escape and hide, which was also meaningless.

Therefore, flowering bullets with practical significance must be able to control the explosion time according to the distance and ensure that they explode as soon as they land.

"Boom!" Another loud bang, white light burst out on the hillside, and thick smoke rolled, covering most of the sky.

Zhao Ming only felt a strong wind hang over, and the air waves generated by the explosion blew backwards his temples, making him feel refreshed immediately.

Zhao Ming just looked at the shells. He was sure that the shells exploded directly at the moment they landed. He couldn't help but say in surprise: "How did you do it?"

The flowering bullet project has been studied in the hospital for several years. Zhao Ming often pays attention to it. Knowing that the most difficult thing in creating flowering bullets is how to control the time of the explosion.

In fact, it has been conquered that the flowering bullet will not explode when it is fired and can be shot out. It has been conquered for a long time, but it has been researched for a few years, mainly because it is stuck on the fuse.

Chen Yujie smiled and said, "Reporting to the Grand Marshal, I have to thank the Grand Marshal for his wise decision!"

Zhao Ming frowned slightly. He was not a military fan. He only knew the name of the equipment, and had the general direction of development. He was not sure about how to build it, as well as internal structure and principles.

Zhao Ming said in a little puzzled manner: "What do you say?"

Chen Yujie said: "Master, the solution is actually very simple. You can find out the key factors such as the shelling distance, gunpowder thrust, launch speed, and lead combustion speed, and can obtain a set of calculation methods."

Zhao Ming understood what he meant, which was equivalent to doing a math problem based on known conditions, "What does this have to do with me?"

Chen Yujie smiled and said, "The reason why Bei Yi was able to find this calculation method is because the Commercial Bookstore run by Da Zheng has translated some Western books, such as "Algebra Essence" and "Geometry". After reading it, after calculation, when the conditions such as artillery and launching drugs remain unchanged, the lead wire is wrapped as a fuse to calculate the distance from the lead wire to the explosion one or half a circle and the explosion. According to the actual distance, only the distance from the distance to remove the distance from the lead wire to explode, you will know how many lead wires can be used to accurately explode."

This method made Zhao Ming’s eyes lit up. Ordinary gunners do not need to make complicated budgets. They only need to remember the distance between half or one round of leads and then wrap the leads according to the distance of the target.

A few years ago, Zhao Ming asked Chen Youlong to preside over the Commercial Bookstore and translated a large number of Western books. In addition to mathematics, there were also books such as "Theory of Copper Smelting in the West" and "Guidelines for Geology" in the Earth. At the same time, books such as "The Book of the Book" and "The Analects of Confucius" were translated into Western-Japanese characters for convenient cultural exchanges.

This method is not difficult, but it is indeed not easy to get craftsmen and Chen Yujie to come up with it, because scholars and craftsmen rarely used this calculation method to solve problems.

Zhao Ming nodded and smiled and said, "So that's it!"

While speaking, the other two cannons in red also opened fire in turn. Two shells, one exploded accurately, and the other one exploded a little earlier, and it exploded above the target, which shows that although the calculation is accurate, there are still certain errors in the blooming bullet during the specific operation.

Three shells, two accurately exploded, and one near the target's head exploded. This result has already satisfied Zhao Ming.

At this time, after three shells were shot, Zhao Ming took out a thousand-mile mirror and observed the shooting range under the hillside. He saw that the nearly a hundred human-shaped wooden targets inserted before were tilted in the explosion, and it fell halfway through the explosion. He suddenly became a little excited.
