希腊火详情..

斯多克芒

那年头的火药…吓人比较好用。真正强有力的火药配方是欧洲人自己鼓捣出来的。

多谢讲解^^
配方问题好像确实影响到不同战场的希腊火性质。海军的似乎稀一些，陆军的似乎固体化？以便于使用，当然，这都是我个人的猜测`

以前买过一套《世界通史》，上面有一幅据说是拜占庭用希腊火攻击敌人舰队的画。
The ingredients, process of manufacture, and usage were a very carefully guarded military secret -- so secret it remains a source of speculation to this day. Speculations include:

naphtha, niter, sulfur[citation needed]
petroleum, quicklime, sulfur[citation needed]
phosphorus and saltpeter[citation needed]
It is not clear if it was ignited by a flame as the mixture emerged from the syringe, or if it ignited spontaneously when it came into contact with water. If the latter is the case, it is possible that the active ingredient was calcium phosphide, made by heating lime, bones, and charcoal. On contact with water, calcium phosphide releases phosphine, which ignites spontaneously. The reaction of quicklime with water also creates enough heat to ignite hydrocarbons, especially if an oxidizer such as saltpeter is present. However, Greek fire was also used on land.
These ingredients were apparently heated in a cauldron, and then pumped out through a siphon or large syringe (known as a siphonarios) mounted on the bow of the ship. Such ship was herself called siphonophoros. It could also be used in hand grenades, made of earthenware vessels. If a pyrophoric reaction was involved, perhaps these grenades contained chambers for the fluids, which mixed and ignited when the vessel broke on impact with the target.

喷火兵阿~

海战这么打，岂不是很容易被俘虏？

古代人真是聪明
希腊火使我想起了帝国2上的喷火船

那个就是喷筒，ms在明朝时还大量装备，所以我认为希腊火绝对不是那么神秘的...

相传3万人舰队都被烧光了，“大规模杀伤性武器”

那次大捷,据记载是事先拜占庭海军将希腊火剂喷在了海上,利用其漂浮的特点在阿拉伯船驶进时弓箭点燃,黑海和东地中海无风时居多,所以媲美东京轰炸的火攻就实现了.

如果使用喷筒,倒是十分现代,至少说明海军希腊火的系统化很不错.

我国古代那些火器其实满经典的，明朝是一个大军事发明家造出了每分钟60发的连发琵琶统。
