Chapter 319 22. Novel design of retreating gun

  Tadaemon looked at the small model made by Hallides and analyzed it with Egawa Hideryu for a while. Both of them are willing to learn and are willing to come into contact with this kind of things they didn't know before.

  Let’s talk about Jiang Chuan Yinglong, the hereditary Jiushan acting official in the family, as long as the male in the family does not die, he will be an official for the rest of his life. Even if it's a low-energy child with brain damage, it's okay. If a man is a living person, he has **** crops to eat. But he is still so diligent and easy to ask, the characters who can leave their names in every era are really good.

  The model in front of you can be divided into two parts, let’s talk about the above part first. This may be a relatively rudimentary early retreat mode. The artillery was placed on a slide rail, which was set to be relatively long. There is a thick barrier at the end, which can block the cannon that retreats madly because of its recoil after the cannon is fired.

  At the same time, there are iron chains on both sides, which may be to prevent the recoil of the artillery from being too large, and the obstacles at the end of the slide rail can't completely block it. According to Hallides, his chain can actually be removed, mainly depending on the weight of the installed cannon. If the cannon is not so heavy, it is the same whether it is installed or not.

There are also two pairs of large wheel-like devices on the outside of the slide. This is easy to understand. The cannon slides behind the slide. It is unrealistic to push the cannon to the front by manpower. It is necessary to use such a device to let one or two artillery soldiers. Can push the huge coastal defense artillery.

  As for the lower part of the gun mount, it is not a straight up and down design, but a zigzag-like device. According to Hallides' design, one or two artillery can quickly raise and lower the entire cannon in a short time. The idea is quite advanced to achieve both high-rise shooting and concealment.

  Of course, this advanced is relative to the year 1846, and does not mean anything else. As far as Mizuno Tadakuni hopes that this fort can be used for 20 to 30 years, and then the shogunate will issue another prime minister who is willing to take charge of the affairs, it should be considered as fully qualified, or even over-fulfilled.

  "The design is really exquisite, and it is exquisite!" Jiang Chuan Yinglong praised again and again. He is a master of orchid studies and can independently design and build reverberatory furnaces. This is also true now.

  "Hamamatsu Hou will allocate sufficient funds for this time, as much as possible to build up to ensure the integrity of Edo." Chuemon also recognized this design, there is nothing to say.

  Experts are experts, and the Dutch technicians Mizuno Tadakina invited are quite good. People are willing to work even if they take gold, but they also have considerable professionalism. This is how cooperation should look like. I pay and you contribute. I don't hesitate to pay. You work hard, it's perfect.

  "The construction of the fort has begun?" Hideryu Jiang continued to ask. He is regarded as the chief technical engineer, and Chuemon is the project manager who actually handles the errands.

The reason why Mizuno Tadakun transferred Chuemon is also very simple. Chuemon is in Edo with a large population and great face. It can coordinate the various departments under Edo Castle, mobilize enough manpower and materials, and it will not be pitted. . Although the shogunate had a lot of money, it had to be spent in a serious way and could not be thrown away.

"According to the design, it is divided into two floors, with eight gun positions on the lower floor and four on the upper floor. A work shed has been set up above Odaiba, and it will be used as an artillery barracks in the future." Chungemon clicked. nod.

  Halides’ design is to separate the twelve cannons. He believes that arranging them is not necessarily the best choice. There seems to be some truth in it, but it's a pity that Chuemon doesn't really understand it. But since Jiang Chuan Yinglong doesn't object, there is nothing wrong with it, just build it according to the drawings.

Now it is the daily transportation of the stone and earthwork and the food for the migrant workers to the Odaiba. According to the calculation of Chuemon’s not very good mathematics, the water depth of the site is 8 meters, and the entire first daiba needs 70,000 cubic meters of stone and 10 pieces of soil. 20,000 square meters, as for the number of labors, that is an exaggeration to 15 to 200,000 labors.

  The cost of this first Odaiba alone is more than one hundred thousand taels of gold. If you add cannons and various supporting buildings and bunkers, the entire cost may eventually exceed one hundred and fifty thousand taels. It is really a bottomless pit-like expense, and only a strong prime minister like Mizuno Tadakuni can promote it.

  Of course, if a U.S. ghost animal rides on Tokugawa Kaki’s neck and urinates, maybe Tokugawa Kaki will also promote the construction. But the day lilies were completely cold at that time, which didn't make much sense.

  "The four Odaiba will start construction soon!" After the first Odaiba supervised by Egawa Hideryu takes shape, he will return to Izu to cast cannons.

  Saga Clan Koma really still listens to the shogunate's words, and asks him to send a craftsman to send a craftsman. It is not vague. Izu's reverberatory furnace is already in production. The shogunate’s fort construction project was launched, and the artillery has been able to solve it on its own.

  The division of labor between the two people can be clarified. Yinglong Jiangchuan is engaged in the artillery, and Chuemon is engaged in the fort. We only need to be responsible for completing the construction of the fort without cutting corners.

   "Brother Tademon!"

   was discussing, suddenly there was a cry of joy from the corridor, Egawa Hideryu immediately put away the model of the gun mount, and Chuemon stood up to greet him. The voice was Shoin Yoshida.

  Yes, it’s June again, and the Maori Kin of Hagi has to perform the duty of attending duty~lightnovelpub.net~ with the ranks of nearly a thousand people that he must carry with him, and come to Edo to serve as a government official. After a whole year of death, he was allowed to return to China for one year to deal with Hagi's internal affairs.

  "Torajiro!" Tadaoemon was tall, 1.72 meters tall, and he could reach out to touch Yoshida Shoin's shaved, clean head.

   "Master Jiang Chuan!" Seeing Yinglong Jiang Chuan, Yoshida Shoin quickly bowed his head in salute.

The young man came to Edo too excited. He himself came to Chuemon’s house as if he returned to his own house. All the books on orchid studies that were copied from his house in Chuemon’s house were borrowed casually by him, and there was even a "Sea Country Map". The original version of "Zhao" is available for viewing. So when the kid arrived in Edo, he rushed to him recklessly. Shintaro Terazawa, who guarded the gate, knew that Satsuin Yoshida was the younger brother of Chuemon, so he didn't stop him at all, so he ran into Egawa Hideryu.

  "It's Toujiro!" Hideryu Egawa originally prepared to be an outsider, so he put away the model, and now it is Yoshida Shoin, he is no longer wary.

   is just a young man who studies and asks questions...

  "Come in and sit, get thirsty, and drink a cup of tea first." Chuemon led the person into the house. The young man hadn't seen him for two years, and the person rose again.

   "Hey, this is not the design of the turret!"
