"Then will you support me in researching flintlock pistols?" Mahan did not answer Wang Feng's question, but asked Wang Feng rhetorically. www.biquge.info For Mahan, silver is tempting, but the ideal in his heart is more important.

Mahan also chose to come to China out of necessity, for the sake of livelihood, but the bigger reason was that he could not find a future for flintlock pistols in France. Henry IV once gave Mahan hope, but with his death, all the claims made by Mahan were rejected by the new king, and he decided to go to the far east with Lu Ruohan.

"Mahan, let me tell you, not only will I fully support you in researching the flintlock pistol, but I will also work with you to continuously improve the flintlock pistol! I will allocate special funds for you, build a special factory, and I will also appoint you as the equipment director of our army!" Wang Feng said solemnly.

"Is what you said true?" Mahan's heart pounded, he had never felt so valued, not even Henry IV back then.

"Young Marshal Ben has no jokes! I just want you to make a better and faster gun! Now are you willing to follow me?" Wang Feng asked with a serious expression as he stared at Ma Han with his eyes.

"I'm willing to do it with you! I'm willing!" At this time, Ma Su had only one thought in his heart, he wanted to make a flintlock pistol as soon as possible.

At the foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing, this is located in the outer city of Nanjing, itself is a military camp, since coming to Nanjing with the order to train new soldiers for the emperor, Wang Feng requisitioned here, according to Wang Feng's vision, this will become the production center of the entire Ming musket, become a veritable arsenal.

Since Zhongshan's arsenal had just been built, Mahan could only temporarily live in a room on Wang Feng's mansion and play with his flintlock pistol, although the place seemed a little small, but it was good enough for Mahan, after coming to Wang Feng's mansion, Mahan basically didn't go out of his room except for eating and sleeping, and only thought about his flintlock pistol.

Mahan's hands were so delicate that in less than three days he was able to make the flintlock pistol he had dedicated to King Henry IV of France. Mahan's flintlock pistol is based on the continuous improvement of the revolver musket, Mahan by removing the wheel of the revolver musket, and replacing it with a flint on the jaws of the hammer, Mahan has a striking stone on the side of the fire hole, and when shooting, by pulling the trigger, under the action of the spring, the flint is hit heavily on the side of the fire door to produce sparks, igniting the gunpowder.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Wang Feng held the gun and closed his eyes and kept aiming ahead. Mahan was loading another flintlock pistol with gunpowder, and Mahan sent the projectile to the muzzle, and kept beating the cartridge stick with the wooden hammer in his hand, pushing the gun into the chamber, although Mahan's loading skills were superb enough, it still took a few minutes.

Watching Ma Han reload his ammunition, Wang Feng frowned. Although the flintlock pistol is far superior to the arquebus equipped by the Ming army now, the time to reload is too long, even a good player like Mahan will take such a long time, and if you change to the tense environment on the battlefield, it will only make the reload time longer.

"Young marshal, try it!" said Mahan, handing over the flintlock pistol that had just been changed to gunpowder.

"Bang!" Wang Feng pulled the trigger, and a burst of smoke came out of the muzzle, and the crockpot in the distance instantly broke a big hole.

"It's amazing!" Wang Dahu, who was standing next to him, looked fascinated, he didn't expect this little musket to be so powerful, and it could hit at such a distance, if this was a human, it would definitely be a blur of flesh and blood.

"That's right! This gun is called a Mahan gun!" Wang Feng was still very satisfied with the lethality and killing distance of the flintlock pistol, but the reload time was too long.

"You say it's called Mahan?" Mahan didn't believe his ears.

"What's wrong, shouldn't it?" Wang Feng replied very casually.

"Ma Han gun, Ma Han gun!" Ma Han kept muttering, he didn't expect this Oriental to attach so much importance to himself.

"But Mahan, do you want to see if this reload can be improved and improved? Don't you think this time is too long?" Wang Feng looked at this gun carefully, Mahan gun can be said to be more perfect, if it can be improved in terms of reloading, it will be even more perfect.

"Reloading?" In fact, Mahan also noticed the problem of long reload time, Mahan has slightly increased the speed of the flintlock pistol in the reload of the flintlock pistol compared with the previous arquebus, but it is still fundamentally difficult to solve, after all, the current reload is like this.

Looking at Ma Han's sad face, Wang Feng understood that it was indeed a difficult question for people in this era, "Ma Han, have you ever wondered if this flintlock pistol can be loaded from behind or below?"

"Reload at the back, reload from below?" Mahan did think of many ways to improve it, but he didn't think about reloading from the rear, after all, guns in this era are loaded from the front. "yes, I didn't think of it!haha!" Mahan seemed to understand something, and ran towards his room despite the laughter of the crowd.

Ma Han, who was ordered by Wang Feng's words, stayed in his small room for several days, and no one knew what he was drumming inside, only the sound of Huo Huo coming from the room every night.

"Haha! Success! Success!" Ma Han rushed towards Wang Feng's bedroom with an improved version of the Ma Han gun in his hand.

"Young marshal, I succeeded! I succeeded!" Ma Han, who was blocked by Wang Dahu, had no choice but to shout loudly outside the room.

Wang Feng, who was just about to sleep, heard the cry of Ma Han outside the house, and ran out in a hurry before he even had time to put on his shoes, "You really succeeded?"

"Really, young marshal, look!" Ma Han handed over the gun without saying much.

It turned out that Mahan used the method of igniting the charge by hitting the firing pin in the cartridge case, and Mahan made a projectile out of brass, and separated the projectile and gunpowder by a stuffed material, and a fire cap was installed behind the stuffed material, and the gunpowder was ignited by hitting the firing needle to complete the firing process. This reload is more than twice as fast as the previous front reload.

"This is the rear-loading gun!" Wang Feng didn't expect that he was just casually talking, but this Mahan really made it. Looking at the Mahan gun in his hand, Wang Feng can imagine that the pattern of future wars will definitely change greatly in the future.

"Okay! Let me ask you how many days you can make this gun now?" Ma Han spear was formed, and Wang Feng began to care about the output again.

"This 、、、、、、 this one I need five days to make by myself now!" Ma Han was a little embarrassed, although Ma Han's gun was good, but the production speed was too slow.
