(I forgot about it yesterday, but I made it up today, thank you for your support!) Ask for wave collection and subscription! )
After Tie Pingliang listened to Li Zixiao's words, he was directly stunned for a while, Li Zixiao's words shocked him, but also gave Tie Pingliang a lot of inspiration.
For for a long time, these blacksmiths, no matter what they do, are responsible for making everything by themselves.
Everything is their personal work, and Li Zixiao is now proposing that one person is only responsible for one part, and finally assembles it, is this possible?
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that the method Li Zixiao said seems to sound quite good.
Each person is only responsible for building one part, and it doesn't take long to memorize it, so it's certainly very quick to build, and the scrap rate is naturally much lower.
However, whether this method will work or not, you still need to test it yourself to find out.
Tie Pingliang hugged his fists to Li Zixiao and said: "The method of the big boss sounds really good, I will arrange for someone to test it tomorrow, if it is really feasible, I will use this method to build a bird gun in the future." ”
Li Zixiao nodded and said, "That's right, you give it a try first, and if it's feasible, use it." ”
Li Zixiao was quite satisfied with Tie Pingliang's reaction, although the 'assembly line operation' he said was the best production and manufacturing mode in later generations.
But at this time, it was the Ming Dynasty, advanced was not necessarily applicable, and whether it was suitable or not needed to let Tie Pingliang and them test it themselves before they knew.
But Li Zixiao is confident that after Tie Pingliang has tried this kind of 'assembly line operation', he will experience the benefits.
"Alright, let's go about your business first! Master Tie, go, go outside and try your well-laid bird's gun, but I received your news and rushed over without stopping. ”
Li Zixiao waved his hand at the other craftsmen, signaled them to disperse, pulled Tie Pingliang and said to him as he walked.
Tie Pingliang nodded again and again, walked in front to lead the way, Li Zixiao and a group of subordinate generals followed Tie Pingliang to the back of Tie Zuo, a slightly more open place.
Li Zixiao asked people to fetch a brand-new new bird gun and handed it to Li Zixiao's hand.
"Big boss, please try the gun." Tie Pingliang said to Li Zixiao.
Li Zixiao stretched out his hand to take over the new-style bird gun, and felt a heavy pressure as soon as he started it.
The length of the entire bird gun, plus the shoulder butt specially made by the White Dragon Army, the whole gun reached more than one and a half meters, which was almost equal to the height of ordinary people.
Both in weight and length, it surpassed the bird guns they used to use, almost a bit like a trumpet nine-headed bird.
To a certain extent, this new type of bird gun is almost the same as Lu Mi gun, but Li Zixiao has not seen Lu Mi gun yet, so it is not possible to make a comparison at the moment.
But in his opinion, his new style of bird, even if he encounters Lu Mi, will not necessarily fall behind.
In Li Zixiao's memory, the ancient Western heavy arquebuses also took the method of expanding the caliber, lengthening the barrel, and increasing the amount of charge, and the weight of some muskets exceeded 20 catties.
For the tall Europeans, they can't aim with guns, let alone the Chinese people in this era, whose physique is obviously worse than those of the white race.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to make the new bird gun as perverted as the heavy arquebus of the West, it is pure nonsense.
Only within the range of bearability, appropriately increase the diameter, length, weight, etc., of the bird gun tube, and strengthen the power of the bird gun, it is almost enough.
If one day, he had the opportunity to fight the Tartars outside the gates, for the barbarians who only knew how to ride horses and shoot arrows.
The new bird gun in his hand will tell them the fact that if they read more, the power of science and technology is the most powerful.
After Li Zixiao took the new-style bird-gun, he carefully looked at the brand-new bird-gun up and down, and immediately asked people to bring ammunition and load it into the bird-gun.
After tamping with a cane, he poured primer into the medicine pool, then covered the medicine pool, lit the fire rope, and completed a series of loading actions.
In this open field, thirty, fifty, seventy, and a hundred paces, a thick plank has been erected.
Each plank was the size of a door panel, and was painted with a large red snack, apparently intended as a target for a test shot.
Li Zixiao doesn't talk nonsense, everything has to be tested in person.
So he first chose the wooden target fifty paces away, and picked up the bird's gun, which was very heavy, and when he held the gun, it was a little difficult for the gunman to aim with the gun.
But for Li Zixiao, he is already tall and big, his arms are long, and his strength is also very large, and the weight of more than ten catties is not enough to affect his aiming according to the gun.
After Li Zixiao picked up the gun, he steadily aimed at the wooden target fifty steps away, and after stabilizing his arm, he immediately pulled down the dragon head holding the fire rope.
Then there was a dull thud, and a flame erupted from the mouth of the gun, and a large cloud of smoke came out.
And Li Zixiao also felt the butt on his shoulder, and while firing, he hit it backwards heavily, indicating that the recoil of this bird gun was already considerable.
People with little strength are really not easy to make this new type of bird gun, which is a test for those bird guns of the White Dragon Army.
After firing a shot, he threw the bird gun to one of the guards and told him to reload.
And he led the generals and walked towards the wooden target, and after walking in front of the wooden target, Li Zixiao immediately lay on the wooden target to check.
I saw that a hole appeared a little below the red heart of the wooden target, and the wooden target more than an inch thick was completely penetrated by his shot just now.
If it is hit on a person, even if the iron armor is worn, this shot is enough to penetrate the iron armor and enter the human body.
This shows that this new-style bird gun is no problem in terms of quality, and its power is at least about fifty paces, and it can inflict fatal damage on the enemy wearing iron armor.
This was simply impossible for the previous bird guns, which could only break through the armor in about thirty steps.
After watching it, Li Zixiao said with a smile: "The accuracy at this distance is not bad, and the power is enough, it seems that the effect of improving the bird gun this time is quite good."
Fifty steps to break the armor is no problem, let's go back and try the power of seventy steps. ”
In one afternoon, Li Zixiao used this new-style bird gun, and Peng Peng shot a gun for an afternoon, and the effect of the shot had to be checked after each shot.
Moreover, Li Zixiao also constantly asked people to hang various armor on these wooden targets and conduct experiments to fully test the power of this new type of bird gun.
After an afternoon of testing, Li Zixiao's face was blackened, and his eyes were also smoky, but he didn't care at all, and he was excited to test one shot after another.
In the end, Li Zixiao came to such a conclusion about this new bird gun, and this new bird gun has basically achieved his ideal purpose.
At fifty paces, it can break through heavy armor and fine cotton armor, inflicting fatal damage on the enemy.
Seventy steps away, basically rely on Meng, the hit rate is not high, if you hit, you can also break ordinary leather armor, and cause death.
If you don't use a salvo at 100 paces away, hitting an enemy is about the same as hitting the 5 million jackpot, but if you hit an enemy, it can also cause fatal damage to the unarmoured.
Moreover, this new type of bird gun increases the caliber, which makes the projectile heavier, and the damage to the enemy exceeds that of the original bird gun, which can already be called a killing weapon.
If you want to continue to increase the power, you have to continue to increase the caliber and increase the charge, and then it becomes a lifting gun.
It's a pity that the weight of the gun is too heavy, and it is impossible for a person to hold it with one arm, and it is impossible to carry it alone, so this kind of bird gun has been improved to this extent, which is already the limit.
Next, if Li Zixiao still wants to get a more powerful musket, he can only get Miru Gun, or he can find a way to build a flintlock pistol.
"This new bird gun is indeed a bit long and a lot heavier, but for a big man like me, if I have enough strength, it is not a big problem.
For our ordinary bird hand, it is still a bit heavy, and the power is strengthened, but the burden on the bird hand is also greater. ”
At this time, Qi Wei had just shot the wooden target seventy steps away, and then said to the people around him.
Zhou Dazhu and others also followed Li Zixiao and personally experimented with this new type of bird gun, and they also felt the advantages and disadvantages of this new type of bird gun and the previous bird guns.
"There's no way around it, after all, you can't have both fish and bear's paws." Luo Chao said on the side.
"This new type of bird gun has basically been achieved, the effect I want for the time being, can be put into large-scale manufacturing, ready to replace it with it, at this time we have those old bird guns.
In addition, you should conduct destructive tests on this new type of bird gun as soon as possible.
Constantly increase the amount of charge, see how much gunpowder, in order to make it explode, and then determine a suitable charge, which can not only ensure the power, but also ensure the safety of our birds.
In short, it is necessary to maximize the power of this new type of bird gun and make it a nightmare for the enemy. Li Zixiao explained to Tie Pingliang again.
Tie Pingliang naturally nodded and respectfully agreed, saying that he would do it immediately from tomorrow.
After finishing this matter, Li Zixiao took Zhou Dazhu and others to leave Tie Pingliang's workshop area, and returned to the houses built in the cottage with his generals.
Because the design and manufacture of the new bird gun was completed, Li Zixiao was very happy today, and the brigadier took out a few jars of wine from the stock, distributed it, and got drunk with his subordinates.
He also ordered the artisans here to rest for the night, and added a meat dinner to them, allowing the big guys to drink some wine and relax.
Some time ago, when they defeated the officers and soldiers, they killed a lot of war horses, and all of those horse meat were obtained by the White Dragon Army, so that the White Dragon Army was not short of meat at this time.
