Dong Ce nodded silently, not to mention anything else, this Lumi gun has to be worked by five or six blacksmiths for nearly twenty days to come out, and you will know that it costs a lot of money, how much labor is it occupied?

But the cost of ten taels of silver, in his opinion, is not unbearable-

"Made this one, maybe mass production?" Dong Ce asked.

"This?" Du Jianhe: "Back to my lord, if you want to mass production, you have to solve two problems, one is that there are not enough blacksmiths, and second, there are too few blacksmiths who can drill pipes. ”

He explained: "Except for the gun, the other parts are much easier to build, and they were finished earlier, but before the gun, they can only be idle." Iso-barrels. ”

Dong Ce nodded and stopped talking.

Next, Dong Ce took Du Jianhe to the Daxiaochang planned in the center of the inner city, just in front of his deputy Qianhu official hall, the originally planned building here had barracks, and in front of the official hall was the Daxiaochang. However, the Rock Fort has limited manpower and the progress is slow, and the city walls have not yet been renovated, and the buildings and other facilities in the castle have not yet been completed. There is only a rough prototype, but the ruins are demolished, and then the lines are planned.

In the middle, he went to the arsenal in the southeast corner and received gunpowder and buckshot.

Dong Ce brought Shi Jin Zhou Zhong and five family members as his entourage this time, and after coming to the gate of the official hall, he asked people to erect a target a hundred steps away.

According to the records in the + one + book + reading + novel + Qi Jiguang's military training record, all guns must be subject to 100 steps. Archery is 80 paces at the limit.

The Lu Mi gun is much longer than the bird gun generally used by the Ming army, and the accuracy and range are much longer, but the diameter of the barrel is about the same, and the projectile and lead bullet can be used universally with the Ming army's standard bird gun.

As for gunpowder and lead bullet, Liu Ruozai allocated a lot to Dong Ce at the beginning. As a relatively enlightened official, he took firearms very seriously.

In order to test the maximum power range of the Lu Mi Gong, Dong Ce prepared to shoot in strict accordance with the method mentioned above in the artifact spectrum.

Dong Ce first took the medicine jar, opened the neck door, pressed the mouth of the jar with his left thumb, poured out the gunpowder on the neck, and when it was full, he covered the neck door with his index finger. Then hold the gun firmly in his right hand with the muzzle facing upwards and pour the medicine into the gun. According to the records on the artifact spectrum, you must use your thumb and index finger to surround the mouth of the gun, otherwise you may be afraid that the medicine will be spilled. If the medicine is spilled, the amount of shooting is insufficient, and the shooting of Lu Mi Gong will be weak. The range is not far, the power is not ruthless enough, and the accuracy will be weakened.

Lu Mi Gong used four dollars for medicine, and three dollars for lead bullet. At this time, Du Jianhe smiled on the side and said: "Don't worry, my lord, our gun, according to my lord's orders, is made of charcoal fire and forging, and the barrel is thick and extremely rigid, and it will never explode." Even if you add three more spoons of medicine, you are not afraid, it stands to reason that when you try the gun for the first time, you should add more medicine. ”

Dong Ce glanced at him and added some more as he said.

After loading the medicine, Dong Ce took out the cane, reached into it from the muzzle, built the medicine, and then took the lead bullet and loaded it. After the buckshot was loaded, a little cotton paper was taken and stuffed into it with a cane, and it was sent until the medicine was prescribed. This is equivalent to adding some volume to the lead bullet, so that it is firmly stuck in the barrel, and only when the card is tight will there be enough accuracy and range. And if the card is not tight, when the lead bullet is shot out, it is like a person punching cotton, and the power will be much less. In addition, filling the gap between the lead bullet and the inner wall of the barrel with cotton paper can also prevent the lead bullet from slipping out of the barrel when the muzzle is downward.

Then Dong Ce held Lu Mi Gong horizontally with his left hand, took the medicine jar with his right hand, took out the stuff with his mouth, and poured the medicine inside into the fire gate pool. Close the lid, turn the Lumi gun slightly sideways with your left hand, so that the fire eye is facing up, and gently tap it with your right hand to make the fire medicine enter the fire eye, so as to connect with the medicine in the barrel.

After loading, hold the Lumi gun in your left hand, let the tail of the Lumi gun rest on your leg, and use your right hand to take the fire rope, blow off the ashes first, and then clamp it in the dragon's head.

Then it should be launched, Du Jianhe suddenly said: "Adult, the villain begs the adult to let the villain release this shot." ”

Dong Ce couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Du Jianhe.

There was a kind of persistence in his eyes.

Dong Ce understood what he meant, this Lu Mi Gong was made by him, if he didn't do it well, what was wrong, this shot would go down and blow up the chamber, and he would be the one who was killed, and it would be okay with others.

Dong Ce nodded and handed him the Lu Mi Gong.

Du Jianhe had also tried the gun many times in the past, so his movements were quite skillful, he stood on the ground with both feet, pulled the trigger and fired a shot into the distance. There was a bang, a puff of black smoke came out, and the muzzle of the gun was pressed a little low, and before it had reached a hundred paces, it went into the ground, and made a small hole in the ground.

But this also means that this Lu Mi Gong is no problem.

"You're good." Dong Ce patted Du Jianhe's shoulder and praised it.

Du Jianhe was a little flattered, and he was excited in his heart, so he hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

There are two postures for releasing the gun, one is a half-kneeling position and the other is a standing position.

Dong Ce first used a half-kneeling posture, he stood on the front foot and knelt on the back foot, which was actually squatting and kneeling. Then he raised the Rumpy and held the rest of the hand with his left hand, the tip of the left elbow resting on his left knee, and the butt of the gun was clamped under his armpit. After the posture was straightened, Dong Ce closed his left eye, looked at the back door with his right eye, aimed at the star in front of him, held his breath, and began to aim at the target in the distance.

Aim at the target!

Gently pull the trigger.

His hands are very steady and heavy, and he doesn't tremble and tremble when he shoots, so the hit rate can't be too low. And this time luck also favored him, and there was a loud noise in the distance, and the target made of poplar was smashed into pieces.

The power of the Rumi Gun should not be underestimated.

And because the fire gate of Lu Mi Gong is farther away from the place where the eyes are aimed than the ordinary Ming army's bird guns, when the black smoke rises, it will not smoke the eyes. This is also where the Rumi Gun is better than the Bird's Gun.

Then Dong Ce stood up and fired a shot, this standing posture is generally used when the firecracker is in a low-lying place and the enemy is slightly higher. In this way, there is no need to squat, but the front foot is straight, and the back foot is less punched, as if standing with an arrow. The charge is still the same as before.

However, this shot was a little less lucky, and it missed.

Dong Ce didn't panic, this was the first time he had used Lu Mi Gong, and it was not easy to fight like this.

Then Dong Ce asked people to take ten steps back from the target and aim to hit it.

This time, he adopted a half-kneeling position, which seemed to him to be much more precise than the standing position.

Hit it out again.

If it is replaced by the Ming army's bird gun, after these three shots are completed, it will already be hot and can no longer be fired. If the gun is released again, there is a danger of exploding. Even because the Ming army cut corners when manufacturing weapons, the walls of the barrel were thin, and there was even a honeycomb inside, and it had to be blown up if one shot was fired.

At this time, the structural advantages of Lu Mi Gong are revealed. The barrel of the Lumin Gun is double-layered, so that the solidity of the barrel does not know how much it has increased. Moreover, when Du Jianhe built it, he used the stainless steel of this era after being forged and carburized, and the barrel was strong, so after five shots, the barrel was hot, and Dong Ce stopped shooting.

By this time, the target had moved one hundred and twenty paces away.

And the poplar target that had just been planted was once again directly broken into pieces by Dong Ce.

Du Jianhe hurriedly took the Lu Mi gun and used a piece soaked in ice water. The rags were applied to the barrel of the gun, and only a snorting sound was heard, and a burst of white gas was steamed.

Du Jianhe changed the water twice, and soon, the temperature of Lu Mi Gong returned to normal.

Dong Ce tried it a few more times, until he was two hundred steps away, that is, almost two hundred and forty meters.

Facts have proved that it is true that Lu Mi Gong is evaluated as 'the farthest and most poisonous', even if it is two hundred steps away, it has quite a strong power, but its accuracy is really only God knows, and it cannot be mastered at all. And within 120 steps, the accuracy is greatly improved, and this 120 steps is like a dividing point.

As for moving closer, the hit rate is even higher.

When you reach more than a dozen steps away, you don't need to compare the stars at all, you just need to lean the tail on the ribs, hold your hand in front of you, and pull the trigger. At this approximate distance, as long as the gun is not flustered and calm, then there is no need to compare at all, and there is almost no miss.

And if it was five or six steps away, Dong Ce tested it according to Zhao Shizhen's description in the artifact spectrum.

After loading the lead bullet and projectile, he did not put the fire rope on the dragon's head, but directly stabilized the gun bed with his left hand, and lit the fire door with his right hand, and the firing speed increased greatly, and the gun was almost hit when the target was raised.

However, after Dong Ce tried twice, he only sighed in his heart, at this distance, it was easy to hit the enemy, he just needed to be calm. But in the face of the enemy that is about to be killed, how many people can keep their composure? You have to be an experienced veteran.

This is such an old soldier, I don't know how many battle formations it will have to go through to cultivate.

Dong Ce experimented for an hour, and finally came to a rough conclusion - Lu Mi Gong could successfully fire eight times out of about ten times, that is to say, if a hundred fire guns fired a salvo, it was likely that there would be twenty of them that would not be able to fire this time.

The inability of firearms to fire was inevitable in the twentieth century, let alone in the current era of firearms. The 20 percent failure rate is already very low, and you must know that at this time, basically half of the Ming army's firearms could not be fired.

It can also be seen from this that this Lumi gun is very qualified.

Dong Ce took the Lu Mi gun and returned to the workshop with Du Jianhe. He first went to the carpenter's side and ordered the creation of fifty wooden knives and swords. His requirements for these wooden knives and swords are very low, as long as there is a rough shape that can be seen, neither fine nor fancy.
