Chapter 43: That door Ivanov didn't know that Zhu Bayi felt sorry for himself because he had been fooled by the ancients.
When he saw his master's face was gloomy, he thought it was because the gun was too weak.
After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Don't be discouraged, sir.
In fact, it's easy to increase the range and power.
It's just to make the barrel longer and the aperture wider.
Put more gunpowder in it, and the power will be natural."
That’s big” "It can explode."
Xu Hongsan and Zhu Bayi turned around at the same time, looked at him like an idiot, and loudly objected.
The body of the Zhankou gun is still displayed in the general workshop of the Zuojun camp.
Who among the whole army does not know that gunpowder cannot be loaded into the Zhankou gun in an unlimited amount.
This is the gorilla who has just surrendered.
The gunpowder of the Red Scarf Army is the same as that of Dayuan.
After it is lit, it can only be used to listen to the sound.
"Explode the chamber," Ivanov repeated mechanically, and then remembered that he had recently seen grenade soldiers training.
The power of the gunpowder is definitely not comparable to the gunpowder I saw when I was a mercenary in the West.
He couldn't help but slapped himself on the head in frustration, and confessed loudly: "I, I actually forgot that you are using a new formula here.
Isn't it enough to double the thickness of the blunderbuss wall?
How about making it twice as thick?
, three times, if it keeps thickening, there will always be a time when the chamber doesn’t explode.”
"You're stupid, you're still not convinced."
Xu Hong circled his fingers three times and knocked hard on Ivanov's helmet, "That's copper.
Do you know copper?
Do you know that one pound of copper can be used to cast more than two hundred Tongbao coins?"
Just like this, for the copper material used for a hand gun, if you buy a pig, you can buy almost three of them, which are the same weight as you.
If you want to add several times more, how many times more can you dig out the copper or draw it on paper?
" "Ah, don't hit, don't hit me.
I didn't know before, I really didn't know."
Ivanov jumped a step away, holding his head and begging for mercy.
Although he has been in Mengyuan for more than two years, he has only spent a handful of times wandering outside the military camp.
So I always thought that the price of copper in the East was about the same as that in the West.
At this moment, when I first heard that the material of a small hand gun was worth three pigs, my eyes immediately widened, "Then my commander-in-chief's military salary, sir, should I pay copper coins, or..."
"Military pay, just know military pay.
If you don't have money, I'll give you a handout note.
It's a payout note from the Yuan Dynasty."
Xu Hongsan heard this, curled his fingers and tapped again.
It wasn't until he knocked the other party down that he squatted on the ground, then he saluted Zhu Ba11 and comforted loudly: "Captain, don't listen to this idiot.
With so much money, we might as well buy more gunpowder to make grenades.
Even if it is tied to If you throw it out with a rope, it won't have a farther range than a firecracker."
"Alas" Zhu Bayi could only sigh helplessly after hearing this.
After the last actual battle, grenades, as a new weapon, were completely regarded by the Xuzhou Red Army as a magic weapon to defeat the enemy.
It's as if no matter what enemy you encounter, throwing hundreds of primitive grenades at them will instantly seal the victory.
However, he stubbornly believed that the musketeers were the only correct path for the future development of the army.
Otherwise, in the memory that originally belonged to Zhu Dapeng, why were there only machine guns and cannons, but the professional grenadiers were short-lived and completely lost?
"Li Canjun recently made a bombardier that can be pushed by two people.
It can throw a two-pound iron mine 300 steps away.

When approaching the battle, more than 30 bombardiers are lined up.
Even if the opponent is a The iron army was still blown up and the fields were littered with corpses."
Seeing that his general always looked gloomy, Xu Hongsan continued to offer words of comfort.
"No matter how far a grenade is thrown, it can't be farther than a javelin, let alone a bow and arrow."
When it comes to the use of weapons on the battlefield, Ivanov is not afraid of anyone at all.
Hearing Xu Hongsan's overly affirmative words, he immediately refuted.
"You can take advantage once or twice.
When everyone knows that you have grenades, no one will rush forward stupidly.
First use the crossbow or bed crossbow to smash your bomb launcher.
Then use The archer is riding on a horse and shooting arrows while running.
Even if you throw the grenade, it may not be able to hit the running target."
"If you don't talk too much, you will die."
Xu Hongsan couldn't argue with him.
He was so angry that he raised his hand and started to speak with his fist.
Ivanov was frightened by him and hid outside the door holding his head.
While hiding, he protested loudly, "I am just the governor's slave.
You have no right to beat me.
If you hit me without the governor's permission, you are beating the governor."
"Okay, stop making trouble."
Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more noisy, Zhu Bayi frowned and scolded in a low voice.
Xu Hongsan and Ivanov originally wanted to make him happy, but when they saw that the trick failed, they had no choice but to agree in frustration.
They all put down their posture and came back.
After only walking a few steps, Ivanov suddenly raised his hand and patted the iron helmet on his head, and said loudly: "Copper is expensive, you can use iron or bronze.
Bronze is cheaper than copper and stronger than copper.
And it melts better than iron.
I saw a bronze handgun in the Golden Horde before I left.
It looked similar to the one in the governor's hand."
"Bronze, that thing is really stronger than copper."
Zhu Bayi had no idea about bronze in his mind.
After listening to Ivanov's babbling words, he frowned and asked Xu Hongsan for confirmation.
"It is definitely stronger than copper."
Xu Hongsan did not argue with Ivanov this time, but nodded very solemnly, "I don't know whether it is cheap or not.
But bronze is definitely stronger than copper.
I used to see it when I was a bearer of a sedan chair.
The part of the axle where the wheels are mounted on the carriages of many wealthy families is made of bronze.”
"The big bells built for the churches in the city-state of Florence are also made of bronze."
Not to be outdone, Ivanov quickly added.
This sentence completely moved Zhu Bayi.
Although the latter is an otaku in the 21st century, he still knows what an ancient bell looks like.
In his eyes, the difference between ancient cannons and ancient bells is just the difference between placing them sideways and hanging them upside down.
Immediately, Zhu Bayi immediately picked up the copper gun and the box and put it under his arm, raised his legs and walked out the door, "Come, follow me to Jiang's workshop and ask Master Huang if you can imitate this gun.
Cast an enlarged version in bronze."
"Alas."
Xu Hongsan was already used to the fact that his governor was always spouting new words out of his mouth.
Ivanov, on the other hand, has just started learning Chinese and has no idea what the “enlarged version” is.

At the same time, he agreed and quickly followed Zhu Bayi.
Thanks to Mr.
Su's actions on the night when Xuzhou City was captured by the Red Scarf Army, he used the banner of Maitreya to protect a large number of neighbors living around Luoma Lane.
Now among the Xuzhou Red Scarf Army, the general workshops of the Left Army are No matter in terms of scale or technical level, it is firmly ranked first.
Especially those craftsmen who originally lived in Jianghu Alley still have fresh memories of the tragedy of the other half of the alley being looted by the rebels on the night the city was destroyed.
Therefore, even if others offer double the price, they would rather work for Zuo Jun than change the family.
With their concerted efforts, Zuo Jun's general workshop was prosperous.
Now, as long as the raw materials can keep up, not only can they repair and build various weapons for themselves, but they can also recruit some work for the front and rear armies, making Zhu Bayi, the governor-general, a lot of windfall.
Zhu Bayi was relatively lazy by nature.
He usually pushed all the daily chores outside of military training to Mr.
Su, and rarely interfered with him himself.
The last time I came back to the workshop was several months ago, when I arranged for people to study how to drill holes in iron bars.
Later, because the experiment failed, he was busy making gunpowder for the Xuzhou Army, so he stopped coming, and completely forgot about the general appearance of the workshop.
This time I came to look for "technical support" with "new weapons", but the pungent smell of coal smoke brought me to tears from a long distance away.
Looking up again, I saw a huge courtyard built with stones appearing on the river beach specially opened by Mr.
Su for the craftsmen's workshop.
Above and around the yard, thick smoke billowed, sparks appeared, and gray-black soil was blown around like snow foam by the southerly wind in early spring.
The surrounding wheat seedlings, leaves, and rapeseed flowers that were about to bloom were all dyed black.
Including the river flowing in front of the courtyard, half of it has turned gray-black, as thick as ink.
You can write with just a dip of a pen.
"I have really become the Great Demon King Sauron this time."
Zhu Bayi rubbed his eyes several times with both hands and smiled bitterly.
It's just the blacksmith workshop of No. 100, but it can actually pollute the surroundings like this.
He also hopes to build a transcendent weapon to crush the Yuan army.
If this continues, will the Yuan army be driven back to Mobei?
Not to mention, Xuzhou City has entered the 21st century ahead of schedule.
At least the smell of the air in General Zuo Jun's workshop is not much different from that of later generations.
But he doesn’t have time to play with environmentalism.
After wandering around Xuzhou in the past two months, I discovered that the most environmentally friendly dynasty in Chinese history was probably the Meng Yuan Dynasty.
Kill all the people and bury them in the ground, then encircle the land and let grass grow, and naturally the mountains and rivers will be beautiful.
The problem is that he himself cannot be the one enjoying the scenery, but he is the one who is killed and buried.
While he was sighing, he saw Xu Hongsan rubbing his red eyes and complaining bitterly, "Damn it, Huang Laowai didn't even spread the stoves around.
It's such a big river beach, why should everyone crowd in?"
In a courtyard” The only one among the three who didn't mind the smell of soot was Ivanov.
He sniffed hard for a while, then suddenly lowered his head and asked Xu Hongsan in a low voice: "Captain, do you use peat to make iron in your workshop?"
"What can you use if you don't need peat?"
Xu Hongsan was stunned when asked, and responded angrily, "Outside Xuzhou City, there is peat everywhere.
Especially over Jiuli Mountain, you can dig out peat just by digging a hole.
You don't need peat to make iron. , do you want everyone to go to the mountain to cut down trees?"
Note 1 "No, no, I'm just, just asking, asking."
Ivanov's eyes rolled a few times and he walked away.
However, after a while, he turned back to Xu Hongsan and asked with a mysterious face, "As for the armor, just use a hammer.
For the heavy armor with big leaves like the one I wear, I also use a hammer to knock it out piece by piece. "" "Of course, there is no need to hit with a hammer, and bumping on the head, nonsense."
Xu Hongsan couldn't stand this curious baby who asked questions about everything, so he glared at him again and waved his hands vigorously, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can go into the yard and see for yourself later.
It’s not like anyone has blindfolded you.

Don’t you mind asking questions like this?”
Note 1: Xuzhou has been a coal-producing place since ancient times.
Because coal is buried very shallowly and is easy to dig, coal was used for metallurgy as early as the Song Dynasty
