Du Jianhe took a few breaths, stood firm, and glanced at the blacksmith who was supporting him—this young man named Zhai Dekui had a flattering look on his face.

He smiled with satisfaction and patted Zhai Dekui's shoulder: "I'm fine, you have a heart." ”

Zhai Dekui hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother Du, what are you talking about?" ”

"Cheng, the bed is ready, right?" Du Jianhe asked: "What about the crosshair, the door, the butt, and the trigger?" Have you done it all? ”

He asked a few blacksmiths around him.

"It's all done!" The surrounding side answered. The barrel was made by Du Jianhe himself, and the other things were not very technical and not difficult to make, but they were all distributed to others.

As for the butt, it was made by the carpenter, and when they heard that it was a tool specially ordered by Lord Dong, they were extremely enthusiastic, not only selected the best hard and heavy wood to be beaten and sent over, but also painted a beautiful layer of lacquer on it. However, to Du Jianhe's displeasure, the butt of the gun was engraved with the carpenter's name.

"Bring it all to me!"

Du Jianhe gave orders very majestically, and the few people next to him were used to being commanded by him, and everyone said something. It's just that not far from the area where cold weapon spears and Cossack sabers were made, someone snorted disdainfully: "What's the matter!" Being a bullshit official really takes himself seriously! ”

He found that his words were more likely to cause misunderstanding than one-book-reading-small-saying, and hurriedly said to Zhao Tiean, who was next to him: "Brother Zhao, I didn't mean you. ”

Zhao Tieanqing was using the hammer in his hand to compete with a piece of steel rough that had gradually formed, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, he raised his head and smiled honestly: "I know, it's okay." Don't think about it, Lao Du is a good person. ”

Over there, Du Jianhe also heard this scolding, his body stagnated slightly, but he didn't say anything, just sneered in his heart.

The blacksmiths were divided into two groups, that group was Zhao Anvil's territory, he couldn't manage it, and he couldn't manage it, otherwise he would be said to be ignorant of the rules, and with such an evaluation, the road would not be easy to walk in the future. After Dong Ce was divided into these two groups, his original intention was to perform their own duties, but he didn't expect that the two groups were faintly opposed, and they looked down on each other.

This was unexpected.

Du Jianhe stabilized his mind, and then ignored the gossip that floated behind him from time to time, and began to assemble the Lu Mi Gong.

After the pipe is drilled, the front end is equipped with a crosshair, and the rear end is equipped with a door. The inner wall of the tail of the gun tube is engraved with a female thread, which is screwed in and out with a screw, which plays the role of holding air when screwed in, and is convenient for cleaning the inner wall of the gun after screwing out. The outside of the nozzle is octagonal, and there is a medicine chamber at the rear, and a fire door is opened, and a fire door cover is installed. After the complete canopy is formed, it rests on a dense and hard bed. A curved butt is attached to the rear of the bed, and a dragon-shaped trigger is installed on the bed.

The bed of the Lumi gun "uses a piece of steel at the back end, upward, and fights for the blade", and the bed must be straight and square. If it has been skewed for a long time, it must be replaced. If you don't change it, it vibrates when you put it, and the gun is shaken after all, so it is not allowed. It must also be painted so that the rain does not seep into it. "The belly is long, if the fire door, and lead, and the cloth paper and other things do not come out when washing, it is easy to open, turn left to enter, turn right to out"; The trigger and rail are made of copper and steel sheets, respectively, and are as thick as copper coins, hidden in the bed; The head of the dragon head and the track are all installed on the gun handle, and a small steel plate with a length of more than one inch is placed close to the starting point to increase the elasticity, so that the bolt can be pinched and fallen, and it will bounce up on its own after shooting, which has good mechanical resilience.

In addition, the composition of the Lumi gun also includes a powder canister for propellant charge, a powder canister for hair charge, a slow-burning fire rope for ignition, and a cane. The arquebus is made of four strands of cotton thread; Gunpowder is a jar for each gun, with copper for it, the upper tube is just filled with a gun, and a piece of copper is used as a door under the neck. "The shape of the medicine jar is like a steamed cake, the mouth is as big as a chopstick, and the mouth is stuffed with wood, and it should be three inches long when it is used, so that it can be seen when it is returned"; The rod is inserted under the bed of the gun and used to build medicine and send children.

And a very distinctive design of the Lu Mi Gong is here - at the foot of the gun bed there is a steel knife, that is, the steel piece that is rubbed into the blade, according to the records of the artifact spectrum, if the enemy is approaching, this Lu Mi Gong can be used as a horse chopping knife.

This is a bayonet installed for firearms in the land of China.

Dong Ce had to admire the richness of the imagination of the ancients, which was no worse than that of later generations. Bayonets, in fact, have appeared a long time ago.

Although it is only a prototype, it is a real combination, combining cold weapons and firearms.

However, Dong Ce felt that this design was rather frivolous, because the blade was at the tail of the gun, and if he wanted to fight with the enemy, he would have to turn the Lumi gun upside down, which would be top-heavy and very uncomfortable to use. It's easy to hurt yourself when you launch. And the use of a hollow barrel as a rod for weapons is too damaging to firearms.

Musketeers do not require a long period of training than archers, musketeers are easy to replenish, do not require much training to master the art of firing, and require much lower quality than archers. Therefore, the Musketeer should be considered a very cheap soldier.

An archer is worth more than a bow and arrow, whereas a firebolt is much more valuable than a firecracker.

Therefore, when Dong Ce instructed Du Jianhe to build the Lumi gun, he deliberately asked the horse chopping knife behind the gun bed to be removed.

But this gave him a revelation - the bayonet, that it worked.

As early as 1610, twenty-four years before 1634, where Chongzhen's seventh year was located, bayonets had already appeared in the small French city of Bajunna. The smelting technology of the Ming Dynasty was not inferior to that of Europe, and the forging technology was even better, so there was no reason why bayonets could not be made.

Du Jianhe has built a Lumi gun, so it is very skillful to install, and it will be installed in about a cup of tea.

Since he had told everyone countless times before, the size of the various components that needed to be paid attention to was very well fitted, and there was no problem.

Du Jianhe looked at the long and big Lumi big gun in his hand, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He knew that this was the best weapon he had ever built in his life.

Not one of them.

Because there can never be anything that he attaches so much importance to and puts so much effort into it.

There is a delicate engraving at the end of the barrel - that is the name of Du Jianhe.

The whole Lumi gun is about seven feet two inches long and weighs nine catties, while the Lumi guns built by Du Jianhe in the past ranged from about five catties to seven catties, which are not so heavy. The reason why the weight will increase is because of Dong Ce's attention, no one dares to cut corners, and the materials selected are all of the best materials, and even the barrel is extraordinarily thick.

Cold-forged, very thick.

Originally, according to common sense, they should have tested it after making it, but without Dong Ce's strips, they couldn't get gunpowder and lead bullet at all.

These craftsmen who are subordinate to others look at the outside in a cautious and humble posture, their group is relatively closed, and they are not very willing to contact with the outside, and whenever they see officials such as Wang Yu and Li Gui, they will kneel on the side of the road and bury their heads deeply.

A good life is not easy to come by, even if it is humble, it is nothing.

When Dong Ce learned the news that Lu Mi Gong had been manufactured, he immediately rushed over against the cold wind.

When he came, Zhao had just finished building a Cossack cavalry knife.

Sharpening the knife.

He quickly pulled the knife out of the furnace with iron tongs, and then reached into the large water tank on the side with great speed.

However, the liquid in the tank was not water, but a very turbid and yellowish liquid, and it also exuded a strong smell of urine.

Dong Ce knew what it was at a glance.

This is exactly what urine.

There are about three types of liquids that can be used to quench a sword: water, oil, urine, and blood.

The three liquids are tempered against cold weapons, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

When water quenching, the cooling rate is very fast, and a deep hardening layer can be obtained, but the disadvantage is that the cracking tendency is large, that is, hard and brittle.

Oil quenching cools slowly, so it may not be hardened when the part size is larger, but the tendency to crack is smaller, that is, it is less hard, but the toughness will be better.

Urine and blood are actually one kind, in the words of later generations, in fact, two words: salt water. Brine quenching cools faster than water, hardens harder, and of course, has no worse cracking tendency than water.

The use of oil quenching will make the weapon quite tough, but this toughness has its uncertainties and its quality is questionable. As for better toughness, it mainly depends on tempering.

The Cossack cavalry knives and cavalry spears selected by Dong Ce paid more attention to softness and hardness, so they were basically quenched with blood and urine.

"My lord, Lu Mi Gong, it's done." Du Jianhe respectfully put the fire gun on his face.

Dong Ce took a breath, and as a result, Lu Mi Gong sank slightly, but this weight was nothing to him.

He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This large gun, which is two heads taller than ordinary people, presents a very beautiful streamlined shape, with a blue and black color, revealing a kind of heavy light after a metal forging. The barrel is straight, the bed is heavy, and the butt is made of willow wood with a delicate grain on it. The trigger, the crosshair, the door, every detail on it is so exquisite.

"This is the first torch born under my hands!" A voice echoed in Dong Ce's heart: "This is just the beginning. He took a breath, calmed down his slightly excited mood, and asked, "How much is the cost of this Lu Mi gun?" "Back to your lordship." Du Jianhe also thought about this question, he was a fine person, and he knew that the official would almost definitely ask this question, so he immediately said: "Lu Mi Gong weighs nine catties, and it needs to be made of high-grade steel, this kind of steel, ten catties of high-grade iron can be beaten out of one catty, and now on the market, a pound of high-grade iron and silver is one and three cents, and a Lumi gun is beaten down, and the iron alone will cost one or two dollars and seven cents of silver." Coupled with the required coals, labor, wear and tear of equipment, plus other small parts to build, it will cost ten taels of silver. ”
