Chapter 177: Double-barreled shotgun
At a cursory glance, there were more than 100 of these firecrackers in front of him, and Xu Zizhen blurted out: "So fast? ”
Tang Lun glanced at him and said lightly, "Take a closer look." ”
Xu Zizhen stepped forward and picked up a handful, and suddenly his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, the guy in his hand was half longer than the fire gun he had designed before, and there was also an extra gun tube, the handle was slightly bent, and there was a small trigger, he was stunned in place, and suddenly jumped up after a while, and shouted in a lost voice: "Double-barreled shotgun?" Who came up with this? ”
It's not a hell, it's just a hell, there are already double-barreled shotguns these days? Although this gun is not very standard, a prototype has appeared, and unlike the fire gun made by Xu Zizhen before, the rear end of the barrel of this gun does not have a fire twist hole at all, instead of a small hammer, coupled with the trigger on the side of the handle, it is already a serious "gun".
Just as Xu Zizhen opened his mouth, a voice sounded weakly in his ears: "Big brother, this ...... Here's what I came up with. ”
As soon as Xu Zizhen turned around, he saw He Liangliang's thin face, but he hadn't seen it for a few days, he seemed to be much haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy and dirty, his face was full of stains, and he looked at him with fear.
He Liangliang was in awe of Xu Zizhen, seeing Xu Zizhen's shocked look, thinking that he had changed his fire gun without authorization, which caused him to be dissatisfied, and he was immediately worried in his heart.
Xu Zizhen turned his head to look at him, the expression on his face suddenly changed from shock to surprise, and he pounced over and hugged He Liangliang: "Is this really what you did?" You kid...... What do I say, you're a genius! ”
The appearance of this double-barreled shotgun surprised Xu Zizhen, this should have been something that would have appeared hundreds of years later, but it had already appeared at this time, and he didn't know that because he appeared in this era out of thin air, and intervened in the battle of Song and Xia, this has made the wheel of history unconsciously deviate from some directions, and some things that should not have appeared have appeared inexplicably.
He Liangliang's excitement about Xu Zizhen was completely incomprehensible, he only knew that his eldest brother was very happy with his creation, he was an introverted and timid person, and he didn't have many friends, and now Xu Zizhen gave him such a high affirmation, which made him a little like a cloud, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.
Xu Zizhen was happy for a long time, and then he settled down and asked, "Two and two, how did you think of changing it to this?" He looked at the gun as he spoke.
He Liangliang smirked and scratched his head, pointed to the body of the gun and explained: "Originally, the fire gun was very powerful, but I don't think it is suitable for use on the battlefield, one is not far, and the other is that the fire needs a fuse, which is too troublesome, so I thought that if the barrel is lengthened, it will shoot farther, and a piece of flint is stuffed at the bottom of the barrel, and after the gunpowder is loaded, as long as you take the fire knife and knock it, the spark can ignite the gunpowder in the barrel." As he spoke, he pointed to the little hammer, "This is it, just pull the spring." ”
The spring he said was the trigger, Xu Zizhen had already understood, and asked again: "Then what do you mean by doing double pipes?" More firepower? ”
He Liangliang said that at this time, his face was completely devoid of the original anxiety and fear, and some were just full of confidence and pride, he smiled: "The fire knife flint may not be able to ignite the fire at once, so I made a double tube, one tube does not sound and the other tube always sounds, if it is not because it is too troublesome, I want to make a dozen barrels." ”
Xu Zizhen was speechless for a long time, He Liangliang had too strong a feeling for this firearm, he could come up with so many things, and even took care of the details so thoroughly, he grabbed He Liangliang: "Go, accompany me to try the gun." ”
Xu Zizhen was very satisfied with the results of the test gun, although this is only the prototype of a double-barreled shotgun, but the production has been very meticulous, the barrel is straight, the chamber is smooth and suffocating, and the angle of the gun handle is also extremely smooth.
"Good! Ok, good, good! Xu Zizhen praised again and again, this gun is not something that should be in this era at all, and the barrel does not know what Tang Lun used, but there is still no cracking after firing more than a dozen shots in a row, let alone exploding.
In this era when cold weapons are the masters, whoever has artillery can already grab a few points of victory, not to mention the appearance of this double-barreled shotgun, Xu Zizhen seems to have seen the appearance of the 100,000 Western Xia army holding their heads, and even the future Jin people and Mongols......
Without further ado, now that the gun has appeared, it is time to equip the Shenji Battalion next, Xu Zizhen returned to the house, there are eight people here in addition to Tang Lun and Jin Yuxi and He Liangliang, they are all Bu Fen's old brothers, they can do a little iron in their hands, and they can be trusted, Xu Zizhen does not have to worry about them leaking the practice of fire guns or shotguns.
Xu Zizhen brought the box of silver he brought, and each of the eight people divided one hundred taels on the spot, and all the others were handed over to Tang Lun, which was his own silver, and he also specially explained when he gave it, because Xu Zizhen had already planned to build the Shenji Battalion into his own private soldier, so naturally he couldn't put this favor on the official face.
Tang Lun didn't say anything, and naturally accepted the silver, and the eight horse thieves were extremely happy, the practice of learning this firearm in the past few days had already made them feel that their status was much higher, not to mention the stimulation of this money.
He Liangliang and Jin Yuxi didn't even glance at the silver, in their hearts, as long as they could follow Xu Zizhen, it was worth it than taking more silver.
The production of the gun is very labor-intensive, the one Xu Zizhen tried just now is a sample made by Tang Lun, and the others have not yet had time to be completed, which makes Xu Zizhen inevitably feel a little regretful, originally today if he could, he would have sent these hundred guns directly to the barracks for them to practice first.
Yun Shanglan has already said that Qian Size may attack at any time, and these guns have not yet been completed, and far water can't save the near fire, Xu Zizhen simply asked Tang Lun to make another hundred, when it will be done and when it will be delivered, a war is likely to change its direction because of a small detail, and he is convinced that the appearance of this double-barreled shotgun can do it.
After explaining the matter, Xu Zizhen didn't stay any longer, and went back to the government directly, but as soon as he arrived not far outside the government office, he saw two columns of sergeants neatly lined up at the gate, regardless of the fact that the gate of the government was blocked by them, all of them looked arrogant, completely ignoring the officials around him.
Xu Zizhen was stunned: What's the situation? Is there a chincha?
