Raising the flintlock pistol and aiming ahead, Xiao Ming said, "Maybe you can try another bullet, which will be easier to reload with round projectiles." “

The flintlock pistol was produced and equipped for a period of time, Xiao Ming has been mentally prepared for the appearance of rifled guns, and the first rifled guns in contemporary times were born in the early 15th century, which is a rifled gun that is collectively known as a rifled gun.

At the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Danish army in Europe was the first to be equipped with rifles, but at this time, rifled guns were complex to produce and very difficult to load, which caused rifled guns to not exist on a large scale in European armies, but as part of the flintlock troops to attack the skirmishers.

At the same time, the difficulty of reloading is partly part, and the low intensity of black powder also makes the range of rifled guns not too outstanding, but compared to smoothbore guns, the range of black powder-based rifled guns has increased from 90 meters to about 200 meters, which is already very good.

Now he can't change the black powder, but for Xiao Ming, he can change the bullet, after all, he knows the disadvantages of rifled guns very well, and he also knows how to restrain this drawback, what he said to Song Changping is the later generation of Migne bullets.

"Is Your Highness talking about the cylindrical-headed bullet in the books?" Song Changping said: "It is precisely because of the difficulty of loading round lead bullets that Xiaguan is trying to produce this cylindrical head bullet. “

"You're already making this bullet? Yes, your progress is getting bigger and bigger. Xiao Ming laughed.

The Mingne rifle of the 19th century is a front-loading rifled rifle of the 19th century, this rifle is very powerful, the range can reach 900 meters, and the accuracy can be guaranteed within 500 meters.

It's just a pity that Song Changping's rifled gun and the reproduced Minne bullets have met the requirements of this rifle, but they can't keep up with the gunpowder, after all, the gunpowder used in the Minne rifles of that period is high gunpowder.

Therefore, according to his estimate, Song Changping's rifled gun and Migne bullets can at least reach a range of about 300 meters, and there is no problem in maintaining accuracy within 150 meters.

Moreover, because this bullet is slightly smaller than the caliber of the rifle, it also solves the problem that the bullet cannot be stuffed or blocked in the barrel due to the large size of the bullet when the front load is loaded.

Because the slightly smaller Mine bullet can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever, the rate of fire is greatly increased.

At the same time, the Mingne bullet is threaded around the body to match the rifling, the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil, and the bottom of the bullet is made of cork.

When fired, gunpowder gases hit the cork, and the cork was hit by an instantaneous impact, and then the bullet was violently propped up.

The bullet is propped up, so the bullet itself can be relied on to complete the sealing of the chamber at the moment of firing, and the kinetic energy of the bullet will not be leaked due to the loss of gunpowder gas, so that the range of the bullet will be greatly increased.

This is also the reason why Xiao Ming deduced that after using the Migne bullet, Song Changping's rifled gun could increase the firing range to three hundred or even four hundred meters.

"But it's a pity that the production of this kind of bullet is more troublesome, and soldiers can't make bullets anytime and anywhere on the battlefield." Song Changping said.

Xiao Ming said: "There are advantages and disadvantages, the manufacturing cycle of rifled guns is long, so it is temporarily produced in small batches to equip the troops, and now that Lin Wentao has brought out the steam engine, it may not be a problem after a while, you should go back now or focus on how to hook rifling and produce cylindrical bullets." “

Song Changping nodded, this rifled gun was pulled out by hand with a hook knife, which was very time-consuming and laborious, although he didn't know what the steam engine Xiao Ming was talking about, but it seemed to be a very powerful thing.

Leaving the rifled gun, Song Changping told Xiao Ming some tips on the manufacture of rifled guns, and then returned to the military workshop.

He came here mainly to seek Xiao Ming's opinion on rifled guns, and now that he has the power support of Xiao Ming, he will have to let go of his hands and feet to produce new rifled guns after he returns.

Seeing Song Changping leave, Xiao Ming smiled and looked at the first rifled gun in the Great Yu Kingdom, and the progress of the fiefdom day by day made him feel very comforted.

With these scientific and technological foundations, he feels that his fiefdom is becoming more and more secure, but the most important thing for him now is how to use the steam engine in the production of all walks of life in Qingzhou today.

Thinking of this, he thought carefully all night, and the next day he went to the equipment department and asked Lin Wentao and Zhang Liuju to come over.

"Your Highness."

Lin Wentao was still in an excited mood because of the advent of the steam engine, but Zhang Liu seemed much calmer, because the equipment department was the first to keep up with Xiao Ming and saw too many ups and downs.

Xiao Ming thought for a long time last night and decided to let Lin Wentao and Zhang Liu set up a Qingzhou steam engine workshop, which is a mass production of steam engines, so he said: "The reason for calling you here is very simple, now the two of you are responsible for the production of steam engines, for this reason, this king is ready to set up a special workshop, this workshop will be in charge of the two of you, Lin Wentao is the workshop supervisor, and Zhang Liu is the deputy workshop supervisor." “

"Steam engine workshop?" Lin Wentao suddenly became excited when he heard this, his identity was only a student before, but now he wants to become the supervisor of a workshop, this status is directly comparable to Chen Qi and Lu Tong, he is naturally happy.

Zhang Liu also smiled, this is a kind of promotion for both of them.

"What? Not happy. Xiao Ming quipped.

"Willing, willing, how can we not want to?" Lin Wentao and Zhang Liu laughed at the same time.

Xiao Ming nodded, and then handed over a book to Zhang Liu, which recorded how the steam engine was combined with other machinery, and in the future, Lin Wentao was responsible for production and technical improvement, and he was responsible for the use of the steam engine.

Zhang Liu took the book and flipped through it roughly, and suddenly felt deeply shocked, in his eyes, the current Xiao Ming is simply an all-knowing and all-powerful existence.

The personnel are decided, and all that remains is the question of site selection, funding, and craftsmen in the workshop.

In order to allow the steam engine workshop to be put into production one day earlier, he ruthlessly transferred half of the craftsmen of the equipment department to Lin Wentao.

The craftsman of this equipment division has always been Xiao Ming's royal craftsman, and now he has endured the pain of cutting his love, which shows that he has made up his mind to use the steam engine.

The three agreed on this matter, and Xiao Ming immediately asked Chen Wenlong to be responsible for selecting a factory in the workshop area, and at the same time he asked Lin Wentao to send the first steam engine to the lathe workshop and the boring machine to combine to cut the cylinder.

The difficulty in the production of steam engines is the cutting of cylinders, and now that the first steam engine is the foundation, this efficiency will naturally increase.

A steam engine workshop was formed, and Xiao Ming sent the structural diagram of Jenny's loom to Chen Wenlong for the rest of the craftsmen to produce.

This year, he wants to let Qingzhou's textile industry dominate the country.
