On this day, Hakesh brought a bird gun from outside and said to Wang Shuo, "General, I have tried it with this bird gun according to the method you said.This bird gun can withstand the explosion of gunpowder.You see, the chamber of the gun is not broken at all" Wang Shuo said without looking at the bird: "You can stop an explosion, but you can't stop it many times."
If it blows up on the battlefield, it will not only fail to kill the enemy, but will also injure the brothers who use it.Cast iron is not steel and is not strong enough. ”Without saying a word, Hakesh picked up the bird gun and walked away.More than an hour later, he came back with the bird gun again, and this time he said excitedly: "General, I have hit this bird gun more than a dozen times, you see, it is still good."
Wang Shuohu looked at Hakesh suspiciously, and then took a closer look at the bird's gun.It didn't matter if he looked at it, and he couldn't help but be startled.The barrel of the bird's gun was not made of cast iron at all, but made of steel, and he picked it up and looked at it carefully.That's right, the barrel of the bird gun is made of stainless steel inside and outside divided into two layers, and the joints of the steel pipe are cleverly staggered to ensure the strength of the barrel, so that the huge force will not explode the joints of the steel pipe when the gunpowder is fired.The rear of the barrel was opened to fill gunpowder and install a flintlock device.Wang Shuo always thought that the muskets of the Ming Dynasty were cast iron, but he didn't expect it to be so sophisticated, not inferior to the firearms made in any country in the world at that time, his eyes lit up and asked: "All our muskets are like this" Hakesh said strangely: "The musket has been like this for a long time" Wang Shuo was silent, and excitedly circled around the room.He had a flintlock pistol, and he really couldn't imagine that what he needed was right in front of him, and the knowledge he saw when he was studying economics could be used.Europe wrapped ammunition in kraft paper, which could guarantee the rationing of gunpowder and the speed of reloading; The bullet is made into a jujube core, and a conical hollow tail is added at the rear end to effectively protect the chamber and maintain the blasting force, increasing the shooting accuracy; The rifling of the gun can be processed on the spiral rifling, plus the front sight and the door, three points and one line shooting, and the bayonet is installed on the gun, which can be used to assassinate Hakesh when the enemy cavalry approaches, looking at Wang Shuo in circles in the house, lest he not believe it, so he said: "General, this gun is loaded with your new formula of gunpowder, and it is much more powerful Originally, it could only be fought fifty or sixty steps away, but now it can be hit one hundred and twenty steps away, no worse than a bow and arrow" Wang Shuo smiled and nodded, this was in his expectation, He can also make the bullets go farther and more accurate, and he tells Hakesh to gather the craftsmen in the barracks, and then start sketching on the bookcase.With the musket, it was easy for him to improve.He already knew that others needed to explore decades or even hundreds of years of technology in practice.When Hakesh brought the craftsmen, Wang Shuo told him all the ways to transform the guns.Craftsmen, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other, completely unable to comprehend the meaning of their general.It's no wonder that this is the crystallization of the wisdom of many ancestors, so that they can figure it out in one go, it is purely difficult for them.Wang Shuo realized that he was too anxious, he thought for a long time, and divided the craftsmen into several groups according to different skills and needs, each group specifically learned the manufacture of a workpiece, or learned the improvement of a process, and Wang Shuo explained it alone, so that everyone could understand a lot.After all, they are the crystallization of the wisdom of their ancestors, and the use of each workpiece or improvement method has opened the eyes of these craftsmen, in the eyes of these craftsmen, their general is simply not such a clever and weird way that mortals can think of, and think about it not one or two, but a bunch of things that mortals can do Wang Shuo can't care about others looking at him with fear and amazement, what he needs now is a hand that can kill enemies from a distance on the battlefield and practical, After several days of hard work and continuous improvement, a rifle that could accurately hit more than 200 paces was born.This rifle has a crosshair and a door, and a bayonet more than a foot long can be mounted in front of the barrel, and it uses a conical bullet, which is amazingly powerful.Within two hundred paces, the scarecrow wearing leather armor was torn apart by bullets, and the leather armor could not play any protective role at all If there were thousands of such rifles, not to mention Li Zicheng, it was Dolgon's 100,000 elite cavalry, and it could only be regarded as a decoration At this time, Wang Shuo remembered to ask how many muskets there were in Anding, and Hakesh told him that the original muskets were too small to be used, and most of them were dismantled to make other weapons, and there were less than a hundred in the armory, and some were rusty and could not be used.Wang Shuo, the son of this group of losers, almost crooked his nose in anger, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the armory and take out all the muskets to be transformed.Everyone pieced together more than 60 muskets that could be transformed.The number was too small, and the attack against the Shun army was far from enough, and a son of a family who had just arrived told Wang Shuo that there might be a large number of such firearms in Mayi, the governor of Gansu in Lanzhou.Wang Shuo's heart moved, and immediately repaired a book, to the effect that the thieves were about to come west, and as a thousand households in the Ming Dynasty, he was worried that Ma Dudu would not have enough bows and arrows to guard Lanzhou, and he was willing to use more than 1,000 pairs of bows and arrows from all his soldiers to assist Ma Dudu to guard Lanzhou, and he only needed the bird guns replaced by the Lanzhou garrison.Anyway, the place is small, and if the thief army really comes to attack, it can't be defended, so it's just a matter of making a show with a firearm, and there is no need to put a useful bow and arrow in Anding, and give it to the thief army in vain.After writing the letter, he ordered the son of the family to act as a messenger, take all his bows and arrows, and set off for Lanzhou.He instructed the messenger to do everything in his power to get back as many birds as possible
