Hong Xiguan looked at a short gun placed on his desk, which was a peculiar-looking short gun, flint and ignited, but had seven barrels. Before use, all seven barrels were preloaded with gunpowder and bullets, and the safety was turned off. When in use, open the safety and pull the trigger to fire a bullet. After firing a shot, turn the barrel with your hand to enter the state of the second shot.

"This blacksmith's workshop is really inefficient, for two months, we didn't get the Minnie bullet rifle, Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt and Rocket Slip we wanted, so we made this nondescript thing." Fang Dahong complained to Hong Xiguan that the efficiency of the blacksmith workshop was too low.

Cai Dezhong picked up the gun, played with it a few times in his hand, shook his head dissatisfied, and said: "This thing is not as good as firing projectiles with my bare hands!" ”

Cai Dezhong has the stunt of launching iron bullets with his bare hands or with his mouth, which can hit more than 20 zhang away, hit 100 shots, and penetrate the human body. This stunt was practiced by stealing longan when he was a monk in Southern Shaolin. Every time I finish eating longan, I spit out the longan core with my mouth, and in the end, the longan core can actually burrow into the trees! Later, he felt that the mouth was too slow to fire, so he simply used his hand and mouth at the same time, and practiced the stunt of firing iron bullets with one hand.

"This thing is not as good as my brother's stunt! It is too cumbersome to reload, and it takes a long time to reload after firing seven bullets. Ma Chaoxing also echoed.

Hong Xiguan sneered: "How many people can know your senior brother's stunt?" If everyone has one of these guns, wouldn't it mean that everyone has your brother's stunts? How many years will it take to develop a stunt like your brother's? And it only takes two months to build a gun like this, and it takes up to half a year to practice marksmanship. ”

After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt that it was much more cost-effective to equip this weapon. In the future, when fighting the enemy, ordinary special forces or special agents equipped with short guns will be able to replenish one person in battle. And a master like Cai Dezhong, if he dies in battle, where to replenish?

But Cai Dezhong retorted unconvinced: "Who said that it is cost-effective to use this weapon? The blacksmith workshop has been built for more than two months, and how many people have worked together to make such a scrap! How reliable it is is not yet known. We have so many agents and special forces, all waiting for them to build this kind of weapon, and our people are not equipped with enough equipment for ten years! And give me ten years, I will teach everyone and let everyone practice this stunt, and I can guarantee that at least half of them will be able to learn it! ”

"Who said they couldn't be equipped for ten years? As long as we have machine tools, we can equip our special forces with new weapons in three years! Wang Xinyu's voice came from behind.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Wang Xinyu who walked in, and they all bowed their hands: "Lord Wang! You're back! The subordinates don't know and didn't go out to greet them, please forgive me! ”

Hong Xiguan asked, "General, why didn't anyone report when you came back?" ”

"My fleet stopped at the port of Xiamen, still unloading, and I rode back to Gaoqi first. I can't rest assured that you brothers will rush back first! Wang Xinyu said with a smile, "By the way, Xiguan, Dezhong, you see, who I brought back!" ”

Emperor Hu De walked out from behind Wang Xinyu and bowed his hand to the brothers of the special combat team and the special action team: "Senior brothers, senior brothers! I, Hood Di, are here! ”

"Senior brother!" Hong Xiguan was overjoyed.

"Senior brother!" Others also gave up.

Hong Xiguan asked, "Senior brother, have you also come to join our General Wang?" ”

Emperor Hu De said: "Senior brother, I originally promised Lord Wang to come to Xiamen to have a look. Since our brothers and sisters are here, then I'll join! In this way, our brothers and sisters are reunited again! ”

"Good!" Everyone applauded and welcomed Hu Dedi to join them.

Emperor Hu Dedi said again: "This time I also brought more than a hundred disciples, all of whom I taught with my own hands!" They may not be very good at martial arts, but they are all very good in water! ”

Wang Xinyu said with a smile: "It's all easy to arrange!" Those disciples of yours are all good seedlings of the Marine Corps special forces! I was assigned to the Navy Special Forces Camp for training. However, they can't guarantee that everyone can pass the training of special forces, and if they can't pass it, they have to arrange to be ordinary sailors. ”

Although these disciples brought back by Emperor Hu Dedi are all masters, there is still a gap between them and the naval special forces, and they cannot guarantee that everyone can become a member of the naval special forces.

"Those disciples of Xiaomin who are not successful are at the disposal of Lord Wang!" Emperor Hu Dedi arched his hand.

"You still call yourself a small citizen?" Wang Xinyu said with a smile on his face.

Emperor Hu De hurriedly changed his words: "Humble obedience!" ”

After seeing the "manual turning pipe handcuff" on the table, Wang Xinyu was obviously very dissatisfied with this weapon, this weapon is complicated to use, the loading speed is too slow, and there is only one, and it is really impossible to explain to the special forces forces when such a thing is taken out. Wang Xinyu decided to go to the blacksmith workshop after seeing the other brothers. So he said to Hong Xiguan and the others: "You brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good chat!" I went to see the other brothers, so that they would not say that I was favoritism. ”

"General Wang, go slowly!" Hong Xiguan sent Wang Xinyu out of the gate of the special forces training camp.

Wang Xinyu returned to Xiamen this time, and the schedule was very tight. After the fleet unloaded the cargo at the port of Xiamen, the sailors on board were asked to go back to Xiamen to rest for a few days and replace them with another new batch of sailors, and the fleet had to go to Nantian Island to buy goods. Then, after the fleet returned to Xiamen from Zhoushan, Wang Xinyu had to personally lead the fleet to Nanyang. In the ten days when the fleet went back and forth to Zhoushan Island, Wang Xinyu still had a lot of things to do in Xiamen, and in the evening, when the king of Yanping returned to Gulangyu, Wang Xinyu had to go back to his life and hand over the money he earned. In the past few days, I have to check the construction of the cannon factory, and on the way here, I heard that the blacksmith workshop in Takasaki is no longer the focus, and most of the craftsmen have already gone to the gun factory, and the iron mold for casting the cannon has been cast, and it is time to start making cannons on a large scale. In addition, I heard that in terms of weapons for special forces, because of repeated failures, the Mini bullet rifle has not been able to be made so far, and there are also Thunderbolts, Thunderbolt Bracelets and Rocket Slips, all of which cannot be made, and only a nondescript manual turning handcuff has been made.

After seeing the other brothers and meeting Chen Python, who had just returned with a large number of autumn harvest paddies, Wang Xinyu took a Portuguese soldier of Swiss nationality to the blacksmith shop.

The soldier, Claire, claimed to make his own muskets.

When she asked Claire, he told Wang Xinyu that his grandfather and father were both watchmakers, and they hoped that he could inherit his ancestral business and become a watchmaker. But Claire liked to be a soldier, so she ran away from home, first to Italy, then to join the Portuguese army, and after several battles, his army was defeated, and he wandered to the East, and finally to Macau.

Wang Xinyu took out the design of the Thunderbolt handcuff he drew and showed it to Claire: "Do you have a way to make a revelator-type continuous flintlock handcuff?" ”

Claire saw the drawings, her eyes widened, and after looking at them for a long time, she replied: "Dear boss, I can try to make this kind of thing, but I can't guarantee that it can be made!" ”

At this time, Chen Jinnan brought back two people, one was a man in his thirties who was dressed as a showman, and the other was a little boy who was actually eleven or twelve years old, but this child had clear eyebrows and looked very smart.

"Wang Gongzi, the Dai Zi you are looking for, we have found it!" As soon as Chen Jinnan saw Wang Xinyu, he congratulated him.

"Dai Zi? Who is Dai Gongzi? Wang Xinyu was very happy when he heard that he had found Dai Zi.

The man standing behind Chen Jinnan who was wearing a long robe and looked like a talent replied: "Lord Wang, the Dai Zi you are looking for is a dog!" As he spoke, this Xiucai pulled out the little boy behind him: "Zi'er, meet Lord Wang!" ”

The little boy stepped forward timidly: "The grass people knock on Lord Wang!" ”

Seeing that Dai Zi was actually an eleven or twelve-year-old child, Wang Xinyu was disappointed. But he was still unwilling and asked Dai Zi's father: "May I ask what Mr. Dai is called?" ”

"Dai Cang, a grass man, once served in the Ming Army! Don't look at the young age of the dog, he has loved armaments since he was a child! Dai Cang replied.

Wang Xinyu took the drawings to Dai Cang's father and son: "You can take this drawing and see if you can make this kind of thunderbolt handcuff?" ”

Dai Cang looked at it for a long time and said, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this is extremely difficult, and the grass people are afraid that it won't be able to complete it." ”

Who knew that the young Dai Zi actually said: "Father, as long as there is a skilled craftsman who is familiar with machinery, as well as the cooperation of a blacksmith, the child can make this kind of weapon!" ”

"Skilled craftsmen?" Wang Xinyu pulled Claire out with a smile, "This is a watchmaker from Switzerland, named Claire, who can make beautiful clocks." ”

Dai Zi was overjoyed: "My lord, with the cooperation of the clockmaker, I will definitely be able to create this kind of thunderbolt in my later life!" ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity for Dai Cang's father and son to turn their heads and talk to Claire under the coordination of the translator, Wang Xinyu quietly pulled Chen Jinnan aside: "Lord Chen, why did you invite their father and son?" ”

"Heaven and earth will invite, but they refused to come at first, so we tied up their family. However, when we were on the boat, after the officer had talked to their father and son, the little boy was happy to help us. But he's so small, can he do it? "Chen Jinnan Road.

"He looks like he's only eleven or twelve years old, but he looks very smart, and his father is an armorer, and with Claire's cooperation, he can definitely do it!"

Chen Jinnan said again: "We have invited their father and son here for several days, and you have not come back yet. Today I heard that Childe is back, I took someone to the dock to look for you, but I didn't find it, so I came here, and Childe has really returned to Takasaki. ”

Wang Xinyu took Dai Cang, Dai Zi, Claire and the translator to the blacksmith's workshop.

When the three of them were walking on the road, Dai Zi said to Wang Xinyu: "Lord Wang, there are two most important points in this kind of thunderbolt and short gun, the first is the exquisite mechanical structure, using the power of the trigger to turn the gears and drive the runner to rotate the belly of the gun with a gun inside; The second is tightness, which requires a tight fit between the gun, the belly and the barrel, and a precise tool to measure it. ”

Wang Xinyu was very surprised: "How can you know so much at such a young age?" ”

"It's all my father's work!"

Dai Cang said: "The dog has been fond of all kinds of machinery since he was a child, and he can draw at the age of five, but he doesn't like to paint landscape paintings, so he paints some mechanical drawings." ”

Talented! What a genius! Wang Xinyu sighed secretly in his heart. He took out a pair of vernier calipers from his arms and handed them to Dai Zi: "What is this, do you know?" ”

Dai Zi took the vernier caliper, looked at it in his hand for a while, and replied, "My lord, this is a ruler for measuring length, right?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Xinyu touched Dai Zi's little head lovingly, "This is the most sophisticated measuring tool!" With this, it won't be a problem to build a Thunderbolt, right? ”

Dai Zi hugged his fists and said in the same way as an adult: "My lord! Give a late birth a month, and it will definitely be made! ”

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Wang Xinyu first introduced Dai Cang's father and son and Claire to Chen Shuijie, and then took out the vernier caliper: "This is a precision measuring tool, with this thing, when you build muskets in the future, you can make them separately!" ”

Dai Zi, who was on the side, asked, "My lord, how many such measuring tools are there?" ”

"Not much, I bought it from the Tessie, the price is very expensive, there are only six in total." Wang Xinyu replied.

Dai Zi said: "Lord Wang, you can imitate this kind of vernier caliper in your later life!" ”

Wang Xinyu took out the sketches of the Mini bullet rifle, the thunderbolt and the rocket slip to show Dai Zi: "Can you make these?" ”

When he studied what was going on with the Minnie rifle, Dai Zi felt embarrassed and said: "My lord, this kind of rifling rifle is indeed very complicated, and I can only say that I can try it, if I can't make it well, I hope my lord will not condemn it." ”

"How can it be condemned?" Wang Xinyu smiled, "It's best if you can make it, and it doesn't matter if you can't make it!" This stuff is too complicated! ”

But later, when the drilling machine that Wang Xinyu bought from the Spaniards arrived, Dai Cang and his son quickly made the first Mini bullet rifle! It was Dai Zi who transformed the drill bit of the drilling machine himself, designed a drill bit that could engrave rifling with deep holes, and at the same time changed the iron plate building method to the deep hole drilling method to make the barrel. But that was later, and the Mini rifle is really complicated, and the production is extremely low, only Dai Cang's father and son can make it, and only one can be produced a month, which can only be provided to special forces.
