Chapter 325 (1/2)

In fact, thanks to Jack Williams, now the high tree tribe has a simple punch.

The press is powered by water and powered by a separate water wheel.

But now this press is still very primitive. It can only punch some very simple iron objects, such as the tail of the grenade used in the catapult. This kind of press can not realize the stamping manufacturing.

Therefore, in the past five months, all the people in the tribe who can be deployed have been working overtime to make grenade shells.

What's more, this catapult is definitely a long-range attack weapon that the expeditionary army relies on most. The grenade is not only small in size and light in weight, so that one can run all over the street on his back, but also the power of the grenade is no less than that of the native grenade.

Although it can not be mass-produced because of the bitter acid, most of the grenades are filled with black powder, and then black powder, which is also a primary flowering bomb. Moreover, after using the impact fuze, it can ensure that this kind of grenade will explode when it touches the ground, causing the greatest damage to the enemy.

Therefore, for this expedition, the stone bear is going to use a barrel to bomb the enemy indiscriminately when he encounters a large number of enemies, and then shoot them with muskets. If the enemy does not collapse, then use bows and arrows to deal with them. As for indigenous grenades, they are the last long-range defense weapons.

Although the black powder can not be compared with the non flooded powder, after increasing the loading capacity of the black powder, the maximum throwing distance of the grenade is only about 50 meters lower than that of the non flooded powder, and the maximum range of the catapult can still reach more than 600 meters.

Bombing at this distance can definitely give the enemy a taste of what is called wanlei top!

After all, there are only so many people in the expeditionary army, so it is the first guarantee for the stone bear to reduce the casualty rate of the soldiers as far as possible. Therefore, long-range bombing with a catapult is the safest means of attack.

In the present era, no weapon has a range of more than 600 meters, except for the cannons used by vasichus who are stupid and thick and fire solid bullets.

As for accuracy, with the blossom bomb, and the carpet bombing without difference, what accuracy do you need? Just adjust the range and launch directly.

Therefore, the demand for grenades in this expedition is huge.

All in all, for the sake of this expedition and to make the gaoshu tribe well-known, the whole gaoshu tribe has been busy all winter, and all the people who can play have participated in the construction.

It is also because of the efforts of the people of the gaoshu tribe that the whole gaoshu tribe provided 170 grenades and 700 muskets for the expeditionary army at the time of worm month. Among them, more than 100 are newer muskets produced by barrel drilling technology.

In other words, only these hot weapons need nearly 900 people to operate.

As for grenades, in the past five months, the workers of gaoshu tribe have produced more than 14000 grenades!

It seems that the number is large, but it is allocated to each grenade, and each grenade is only allocated to more than 80 grenades.
