"Therefore, everyone discussed and experimented together, and then it suddenly occurred to me that when we used to use a fire sickle, we used to use a fire sickle to smash flints, so why not grab it?" Master Fu said: "So, we removed the grinding wheel, made a bolt, and then added a spring, which was used to pull up the bolt, and then loosened it, and with the help of the force of the spring, the bolt was violently withdrawn, and it hit the flint, just like smashing the flint with a fire sickle, knocking out the spark and igniting the projectile." After making it, I tried it, and I felt that it was still comfortable to hold like the second one, so I thought of a way, added a few springs, and made a wrench in the place where the original grinding wheel was, and when I used it, I only needed to pull the wrench back hard, and when the wrench reached the middle, it was the longest spring to pull, and then pulled back to the innermost, and the spring was loosened, and the bolt hit back. In this way, when you use it, you only need to load the projectile, and then just pull the wrench, and then you can ignite a projectile and launch it! ”

With that, the master took out the musket from the box.

Xia Hongsheng snatched it over, and took a closer look, it was not the impact flintlock pistol in the later generations!

"Where's the bullet?!" As soon as Xia Hongsheng stretched out his hand, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Bullets? Oh, grandpa is going to have a projectile? Master asked.

"This musket is flintlock, but it is still a breech gun. To load a bullet from the front - that is, a projectile. Xia Hongsheng said: "How do you deal with the projectile?" ”

The master gestured to the side, and a person next to him took out a box and walked to him.

"Let's think that since this thing is going to replace the bow and crossbow, the bow and crossbow are pointed, so we will also make the projectile into a pointed one." As he spoke, the master took out a projectile.

Uh, Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment. The projectile looked a little close to the shape of the bullet, but the size was ...... It's almost the size of half a grenade......

"The projectile is also specially made, and it took a lot of effort to put a lot of effort into the outer shell." Master Fu said: "You have to make sure that he can send it into the depths of the chamber at once, and you have to make sure that it can be properly sheathed after entering, without too much gas, and it doesn't have to be loaded separately, just stuff it into the chamber of the gun whole." ”

"How's it powering?" Li Chengqian hurriedly asked.

"If you look at the range alone, the musket can reach a distance of two hundred meters. However, if you can effectively kill the enemy on the opposite side, it will be less. One hundred and forty meters away, it hit a sheep and shattered a sheep in one fell swoop! The master said, "It's really broken, it's a pile of minced meat, and I can't even find a whole bone!" ”

"Shhh Li Chengqian gasped: "One hundred and forty meters away, a whole sheep collapsed into a pile of minced meat!" God, if this hits a person, wouldn't it break a person into several pieces of meat at once?! ”

"It's not as long as the effective range of a crossbow, but it's extremely powerful." Yan Lide said: "If the bow and crossbow are shot in a non-vital place, it still has the power to fight, but if it is hit by this musket, no matter where it hits, it can cause great trauma in an instant, and there is no combat power at all. ”

"This thing has recoil, although it resembles a bow and arrow, it is completely different from a bow and arrow, it is much more difficult to aim than a bow and arrow, and it takes hard practice to practice to be accurate." Xia Hongsheng looked at the musket in his hand: "In this way, Master Planner, you are adding an aim to this, and I will tell you how to do it, first ......"

Xia Hongsheng gestured above the musket and preached to the master and them. The more the master listened, the clearer his eyes became, and when he finished listening, he clapped his hands and said, "Grandpa, it's a good way!" With the addition of such a small object, you can make the soldiers aim more accurately when they use it, and it is not easy to miss! This thing is easy, there is a ready-made one on the crossbow, and it can be used on a musket with a little change! ”

"Yes, you can use it directly with a single change on the crossbow." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Okay!" All right! You have made muskets, and you are all heroes of Datang! Rest assured, I will ask Your Majesty to reward you for such great achievements! ”

After that, he said to Yan Lide: "Lord Yan, if we want to show our skills, we must do our homework, find a few people who have tried muskets before, and practice more with muskets in the past few days, and when you have practiced almost enough, you will inform me, and I will immediately report to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to come and watch in person!" When the time comes, let the soldiers shoot live creatures to show the power of muskets! His Majesty can also pay more attention. ”

Yan Lide nodded, but looked at Li Chengqian.

Does this mean that it is appropriate to say this in front of the emperor and his son?

Li Chengqian hurriedly waved his hand: "Lord Yan, the firearms workshop can make muskets, this is indeed a great achievement, and it should be regarded as a performance." Brother Sheng is right, if you want to show your skills, you have to do your homework to really show the value of this thing. Besides, Lone didn't know much about this musket, and he didn't know how it could make Brother Sheng so excited. Lone also wanted to see the perfect performance of this musket, whether to practice it first, and then show it to his father and his ministers when he was familiar with it. Lord Yan rest assured, before he practiced, Gu would not be too talkative. ”

"Don't dare, thank you, Your Highness!" Yan Lide thanked him very gratefully.

Since he said that, Yan Lide immediately went outside to pick someone to prepare. The master also began to put sights on the muskets. It's not the kind of sight with lenses, it's just the simplest kind of three-point alignment, which is used as an auxiliary. This is also the easiest to do, it has been used on the crossbow, and it will not be much difficult to change to the musket. The rest of the firearms craftsmen made a few more muskets.

Coming out of the military aircraft workshop, Xia Hongsheng was full of emotion for a while.

Unexpectedly, what he couldn't make was studied by the craftsmen of Datang.

And on the basis of the previous research on firearms, as soon as it came out, it was directly a ramming flintlock pistol, and even the ammunition was already a complete ammunition!

This is already the level of guns in the nineteenth century!

When he thought of the Nineteenth World, Xia Hongsheng couldn't help but think that in the original history, the process of China's firearms equipment and development was stalled due to the Ming Dynasty being destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Qing people were particularly afraid of the cavalry's nemesis muskets, and the imperial court banned the manufacture and popularity of firearms among the people. The firearms equipped by the Qing army missed the period of technological development. Also due to the backwardness of technological development, the Qing army has not been able to get out of the cavalry and archery mentality of the cold weapon era. In the First Opium War in 1840, the Qing army mainly garrisoned fortresses, but they were also bound to lose every battle. In the Second Opium War in 1860, one of the most courageous east-west battles broke out at Bali Bridge. Buoyed by the victory over the Taiping army's musket formation, Seng Lingqin led the last of the Mongol cavalry to launch a cavalry charge against the Anglo-French army. However, under the volley of the dense flintlock infantry line of the British and French forces, Seng Lingqin was killed on the battlefield, and nearly half of the 30,000 Qing troops were killed and wounded, but only 12 people were killed in the British and French forces. The last courage of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also called "a war that made people laugh" by Westerners.

Now, it's completely changed!
