Reading and enlightenment, this matter is almost something that Wu Xiaoqi has never thought about in his heart.

Especially Chen Mu paid for them to be a teacher.

Regardless of how grateful Zhu Xiaoqi is, he is more energetic when he takes Yu Ding to clean up the farmland.

Everyone will inevitably experience a change in mentality and status in a certain period of time, and the acceptance of these five small banners under Chen Junye is faster than that of him, an outsider.

The day after returning to Qingcheng, Bai Yuanjie set up wine in the most famous goose building in Qingyuan City, and invited Chen Mu, Zhang Yongshou and a few hundred households who were lucky enough to come down from the battlefield alive.

Drinking until the night, the three of them separated, Bai Yuanjie told Chen Mu to take care of the thousands of households in Qingcheng these days, and he wanted to go to Guangcheng with Zhang Yongshou to be busy.

Chen Mu was full of answers, how did he know that the next morning, thousands of households would ...... To be precise, it was under his head office, and something happened.

Guan Yuangu's second son, Guan Zunban, drew a gourd according to the letter sent back by Chen Mu during the battle, and used a former old gun to pull out the rifling before Chen Mu returned to inquire, and the gun was blown up when he tried it.

Chen Mu has always remembered this incident, but just after he came back, something happened to his craftsman.

"How's it going, what's the injury?"

In a hurry, he led people to the craftsman's shop by the stream, and the child in the house was so frightened that he cried like a wolf, and when he pushed the door in, Chen Mu was choked by the strong smell of medicine, and said: "Fu Yuan went to Guangcheng to invite Old Man Cheng, how about Zunban?" ”

"General Flag!"

Guan Yuan, an old craftsman with gray temples, stood in the door, saw Chen Mu coming and hurriedly saluted, his eyes were red, but he didn't forget to thank God, he glanced at the bed and then said: "Xiao'er is fortunate that he was only injured in the stomach by the iron piece, and he didn't hurt his hand. ”

Hurt your stomach?

It's the softest belly of a livestock, not to mention people, Chen Mu seems that this is much more serious than hurting his hand, he wanted to push away Guan Yuangu, who was blocking the way, to visit Guan Zun's class, but he heard the old craftsman pull Chen Mu and said: "Don't worry, the child will not delay making guns, at most a month, no, half a month!" ”

Chen Mu's footsteps stopped, and seeing the old craftsman's frightened and eager expression, a sense of separation came to his heart like a tide again. The urgency on his face faded a little, and he looked at the old craftsman's somewhat rickety back, twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "What do you think of Chen!" ”

"Xiaoba, boil water outside, wash the linen and cook it twice, Zhengyan is going to help!"

The two of them ran out to help, Chen Mu sat on the edge of the bed and saw Guan Zunban's appearance, his stomach was covered with herbs, and he could see at a cursive glance that the wound was not small, and his clothes were bloodstained from his abdomen to his thighs, and his eyelids jumped.

Is this a matter of a month and a half of rest?

If you are not careful, you will lose your life.

"Total, Flag, Villain......"

Guan Zunban's lips were pale, his head was full of sweat, but his face was in pain with the grievance of making a mistake, and he was stopped by Chen Mu before he finished speaking.

"Take care of your injuries, you can't die, don't talk less, you don't have to worry about other things."

Chen Mu gritted his teeth and scolded secretly, but he didn't know who to scold, did he scold the broken piece of the bird and scratch his stomach? Or should I scold Guan Yuangu, my son's life is in danger, but thank God just because he didn't hurt his hand?

The swear words were in his throat, but when he got up, he scolded the woman: "Frightened child, take it out!" ”

"Stay in the house to accompany your brother, and the others open the doors and windows to ventilate, all go out, don't crowd in the house." Chen Mu is not a doctor, so he doesn't know how to save this kind of stomach injury, so he can only do his best to drive everyone in the house away.

Then he also went out, pulled Guan Yuangu aside and said, "Fu Yuan rode a fast horse, Doctor Guangcheng can come over in three days at most, let the health doctor see it?" ”

Three days, three days is enough to kill.

"After reading it, the health doctor couldn't do anything, so he took some herbs for internal and external application." The old craftsman who was arrogant in his skills was powerless like an old farmer who had no harvest at this time, and he sighed without opening his mouth, "Doctor Guangcheng's consultation fee is too expensive, and the general flag is ...... Don't dare to hurt! ”

"Don't you dare to hurt?"

Chen Mu couldn't talk about too many words, and at the end he patted his head and thought that he hadn't paid the wages of the Guan family's father and son, and the seven people were counting on eating, where did they dare to take the money to see the injury, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry about the money, let someone send it to you later if you have a few taels of silver left, the second child made a gun for me and was injured by the explosion, I will pay for the consultation, and I will work again after I recover." ”

Guan Yuangu thanked him for his kindness, but Chen Mu was ashamed of it, and hurriedly stopped: "Don't say anything else, it's important to save the second child's life - why did the gun blow up?" ”

These words have been held in Chen Mu's heart for a long time, and what he wants to ask most is this, the good end of the pipe, pull out the rifling, and it will explode?

Could it be that the guns of this era are simply not enough to support the changes brought by rifling to the guns, so this road will not work at all?

"Alas, the second child has a hard brain, wants to save laziness, and thinks that it is too slow to drill the line into the pipe with a new gun, he is a carpenter, make a drilling machine, collect the rod from the guard, and others use the old gun for a long time, and drill the line out in half a day."

"Scold him for not listening! We are craftsmen, the craftsmanship of our ancestors is clear, but he is lazy, and he can make something good! ”

"The new gun made by Lao Er is thickened according to the tail of the gun said by the general flag, and slowly drilled, and a shot was drilled in seven or eight days, and now I have drilled two test guns and fired three shots, and nothing happened." Guan Yuangu was full of complaints when he talked about this, but Chen Mu still saw the distress in the old craftsman's complaints, "People blow up so much, what's the use of him no matter how fast he is!" ”

Chen Mu understood, the problem was not in the rifling, and it was not the problem of the fast drilling of the bore as the old Guan craftsman said, but because of the old gun that the second child received from the guard. Even if the old bird rifling is not drilled, it will only be used, not to mention that the drilling rifling will damage the internal structure of the barrel.

"The rifling gun can be much stronger than the previous gun, if it is not very useful, it will not be drilled." Chen Mu waved his hand and stepped forward, and said, "What did the second child use to drill, and he would spend seven or eight days of working hours in half a day?" Take me to see it. ”

Out of this case, not to mention that a craftsman like Guan Yuangu will inevitably have resistance to rifling, even Chen Mu felt uncomfortable, "Guan Craftsman has tried, will the rifling of the two poles be more accurate?" ”

"Yes! There is indeed accuracy, Lao Er drilled two shots, both of which were carved out of two lines according to what the general flag said, and the gun that could have hit thirty steps was not biased when it could hit forty steps, it should be more accurate and farther than eight or nine steps away, but ......"

Guan Yuangu said as he walked, and stopped talking, and only after Chen Mu allowed him to continue: "The lead pill is not easy to stuff into the pipe, and the old man is more than three times slower to load the lead pill." After a few shots, the projectiles will hang on the line of the guns, which is difficult to clean. ”

"Lao Er can't be the master, let's decide after the general flag tries."

Chen Mu waved his hand carelessly, and didn't go far, when he saw the official craftsman pushing and pulling the long wooden and iron tools on the ground and said: "General Qi, this is a drilling machine made by Xiao'er, but it is also exquisite, it hurts him, and Lao Er will burn this useless thing later!" ”

"Wait! Don't burn! Chen Mu looked at the wooden bed and his eyes almost lit up, and he pointed to the wooden bed and shouted, turned his head and asked, "This, how did the second child of this thing do you?" He's a talent! ”
