Chapter 767: Flintlock Pistol
It turned out that Lu Lu repaid Xiao Mo's grievances with virtue and educated the people of Shen County, and he specially wrote a note to send to Kaifeng, and it was jointly signed with Zhou Chang and Zhu Yongping. {}
Zhu Yongping, as the head of the Shenxian County School, is naturally a great Confucian, and of course he is qualified to add his name!
After Zhao Quan read this note, he said to Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan: "This Xiao Mo is really humble and virtuous, and he can be a model for scholars in the world!" ”
Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan also agreed, not to mention Xiao Mo's current merits, that is, Xiao Mo's identity as a concubine in the future, such a good thing, they will definitely help Zhao Quan find a way to publicize it!
So Zhao Quanqin wrote the imperial approval and inscribed for the etiquette street: humble and virtuous, polite and decent!
With Zhao Quan's imperial pen, the people of the entire Shen County were excited.
And these eight words have become the motto of the people of Shen County, so that the local atmosphere of Shen County is becoming more and more cultivated!
Of course, this is a later story, after the current Xiao Mo left Shen County, he came to the military aircraft camp in the suburbs.
Now the military camp is still under the jurisdiction of Luzhou, but in fact, Luzhou does not have the power to manage this military camp.
The power is in the hands of Xiao Mo and Zeng Gongliang and Gongsun Bo.
After coming to the barracks this time, Zeng Gongliang and Gongsun Bo were leading the musket team to experiment with the newly developed guns.
This kind of musket was created by Zeng Gongliang according to the drawings drawn by Xiao Mo, in fact, in the An Dynasty, there were already very rough muskets.
But An Chao's musket is a gun that can really 'breathe fire'.
The structure is roughly a long barrel, and then tied to gunpowder, like a fireworks, after igniting the barrel towards the target, you can make the gunpowder spray on the target, and then make the target set on fire! This musket is very cumbersome to operate, and its lethality is limited, so a bayonet will be installed in front of the musket, and after spitting fire, the gun will become a knife, and the hot weapon will become a cold weapon!
And what Xiao Mo wanted Zeng Gongliang to do was a self-firing gun, and it didn't need to be ignited.
Xiao Mo also explained the principle of flintlock ignition on the drawings, and drew in detail the flint at the jaws, the anvil, and the structure of the trigger.
The drawings are very clear, and Xiao Mo also had a night talk with Zeng Gongliang, and also talked about the performance and function of the flintlock pistol, this time Zeng Gongliang finally made the flintlock pistol.
But the effect is still unknown.
Xiao Mo also took Zhao Guanying to observe the experiment of the flintlock pistol, but when they were halfway there, they met Zeng Gongliang and Gongsun Bo walking back with dozens of people hanging their heads, and after seeing Xiao Mo, Zeng Gongliang's eyes really lit up.
He didn't say a word, pulled Xiao Mo and walked towards the barracks, and Gongsun Bo also followed.
Without bothering to say hello, Zeng Gongliang said to Xiao Mo: "General, these muskets are all made according to the drawings, and the flints are also supervised by the lower officials himself, including the barrel, the anvil, and the trigger, the lower officials have also tried it, and no problems have been found, but when the test shot was fired today, there was no shot that could be fired, and the lower officials were puzzled, just when the general came, you can find out the reason!" ”
After that, Zeng Gongliang gave Xiao Mo a musket.
Xiao Mo took the gun in his hand and played with it, and found that the weight of the iron guy in his hand was not light, and then said to Zeng Gongliang: "Find someone, disassemble the gun!" ”
Zeng Gong nodded brightly, then shouted outside the tent, and after a while, several soldiers walked in.
According to Zeng Gongliang's orders, the soldiers disassembled their guns and left the camp.
Xiao Mo took a look and found that the structure inside the gun was roughly fine, it was all done according to the drawings, so Xiao Mo was suspicious.
Did you remember wrong?
After all, Xiao Mo is not very clear about the structure of guns, most of them are from children's toy guns or high-imitation fake guns, so he is naturally not sure if he is wrong.
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Mo never thought of a solution, and it was time for dinner after a while.
didn't solve the problem of guns, Xiao Mo naturally didn't have the heart to go back, so he asked Zhao Guanying to send someone to Changle to talk to Yu Niang and them, and stayed in the barracks.
And Xiao Mo and Zeng Gongliang didn't even have time to eat dinner, during which Xiao Mo and Zeng Gongliang took a few craftsmen to change the structure of the gun again, widen the distance between the flint and the anvil a little, and then experimented again.
Still no effect!
It doesn't work at all!
This changed several times, and he was busy until late at night, Xiao Mo almost disassembled and changed the starting gun, and then assembled it again, until more than ten guns were finally changed to two or three left, but the gun still did not fire!
The night passed in an instant, and the matter of the gun had not changed at all, and Xiao Mo was about to give up.
For the last time, after Xiao Mo reassembled the gun, he said to Zeng Gongliang: "If it can't be fired yet, I'm afraid there is really no way, and we will do our best......"
Zeng Gongliang was a little unwilling, he didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Seeing his hard work about to end like this, Zeng Gongliang was unwilling to say anything.
Therefore, this time Zeng Gongliang said: "General, I want to try it myself!" ”
Xiao Mo listened, looked at Zeng Gongliang, and after a while, nodded to Zeng Gongliang.
Then Zeng Gongliang loaded the projectile into the barrel, and after taking a few deep breaths, Zeng Gongliang slowly pulled the trigger!
"Knock ......"
This time the barrel finally made a sound, but ...... The projectile still didn't go out, and even the gunpowder at the back end of the projectile didn't explode!
"Alas!"
Zeng Gongliang sighed, and then shook his hand, intending to throw the gun out of his hand, but after thinking about it, this was in front of Xiao Mo, so he couldn't be rude!
So Zeng Gongliang's hand stopped on his head, and then ......
Due to inertia, the projectile inside the barrel was thrown out and just like that fell to the ground.
Xiao Mo's expression lit up when he saw it, because there had been many experiments before, and the projectiles in the barrel had stayed in the barrel well and had not moved for half a minute......
But this time, the projectile was actually knocked out of the barrel by the anvil, which shows that in fact, the gun experiment was successful.
At least...... The structure of the gun itself is correct, it's just ...... The projectile was not fired!
Xiao Mo seemed to think of something, he immediately found the tested guns on the table, then took out a projectile from it, and carefully observed it under the light!
