Chapter 465: Test (1)

In the deep darkness of the night, a white emergency lamp hung on the wall, although it was a bright one that shone in a small wooden house.

However, the brightness of this miserable white light is completely sufficient.

But it makes the natives of the primitive era such as Six Fingers feel a little uncomfortable.

It's just that before these people participated in the manufacture of this thing called gunpowder, Brother Yong put on a straight face and issued an unprecedentedly stern order:

In any case, there is a strict ban in the powder shop, and there is a slight spark appearing.

If anyone violates this order, they will be beaten with 20 sticks in public, and then within half a year, they will be disqualified from distributing supplies such as leggings, sugar, rubber slippers, etc.

Twenty sticks were beaten in public, and it was just for these rough-skinned natives.

In the eyes of the craftsmen, such a punishment is more painful than letting Brother Yong kick him, and it is not a big deal if he raises it for a few days.

But if all kinds of supplies are not distributed, then there is still a face for them to go out to meet people.

In this way, no one would have the courage to enter this gunpowder workshop with a lighter, let alone use the usual pine oil torches for lighting at night.

Even if they don't know why Brother Yong would set such strange rules.

can only use this thing called 'emergency lights' brought by Brother Yong from the Huaxia tribe to provide brightness for night work.

Every time the generator rings to provide power to the cutting machine.

They also need to hurry up and recharge their batteries for this troublesome thing, otherwise it won't be light up the next night.

However, such doubts can be answered quickly, and they know how much this rule formulated by Brother Yong is for their sake.

Because at this moment, it seems that the thing called gunpowder has finally been successfully made......

"It's not easy to get a little black powder left over from the old ancestors. ”

Looking at the handful of granular black powder the size of a mung bean that he was holding and playing with in the palm of his hand, Song Yong's mouth let out such an exclamation full of emotion.

On the desktop in front of him, there are still about ten catties of such things.

Counting the time, this is all Song Yong's trip over, the sixth day.

In other words, in order to make such a small amount of gunpowder, he took people to work for two days and two nights.

And the reason why it took so long was that he tossed out more than ten catties of gunpowder, and the black powder in his hand was deliberately made into this granular, which occupied a big reason.

The granulation of black powder can be regarded as a very practical technological progress in the long history of the development of this ancient gunpowder.

Powdered black powder is not only very susceptible to moisture, but also not convenient to carry and store at all, and often explodes during the process of carrying.

In addition, it burns at different speeds, making it difficult to master at all.

However, if it is granulated, the above problems can be solved considerably, and if the granular gunpowder is added to the process of rolling paraffin wax and graphite, the drying effect can be maintained.

It is also said to be able to prevent static electricity, which can be said to bring many benefits.

The only problem is that, according to the technical information obtained by Song Yong from an enthusiastic netizen called the Xiongnu mage, it is explained that in order to achieve the purpose of gunpowder particles, the materials are a little cumbersome.

It is necessary to use a high degree of liquor, and first mix the powdered black powder into a mud ball.

Secondly, the mixed mud ball is put into the stone trough and rolled many times, and after some stirring, these granular things can appear.

In such a granularization process, the process is complicated and cumbersome, and compared with the many benefits of granulation, Song Yong doesn't care much.

The problem is that you need to use precious high-grade liquor, which is quite concerned for young people.

Later in the plan, those liquor made from sorghum need to be brought back to the modern plane to sell for money, and if you carry it from the modern plane, where can you carry so much volume.

For a while, Song Yong had some hesitation about whether it was necessary to granulate gunpowder.

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to use this granular processing method, and as for liquor, I can always think of a solution.

At about two o'clock in the night, Song Yong walked out of the gunpowder manufacturing workshop.

He brought a group of high-ranking subordinates such as Six Fingers, carrying a bag of granular gunpowder and two brand new muskets, ready to start testing guns.

The place where the gun was tested was naturally the square area where the crossbow was last tested.

The difference is that at a distance of seventy paces, Song Yong had a row of gun targets made of various materials used as targets.

Among them, there are wild boars with thick fur that are hard to cut and slash.

There are also straw men made of wheat straw wearing leather armor, stab-proof clothing, and other different protective equipment.

This kind of posture is that Song Yong intends to personally test how much this primitive era version of the brown bass flintlock pistol can be on top of the specific lethality.

After all, this otherworldly version of the musket should be more powerful.

First of all, its barrel is a third thicker than the genuine brown bass.

Estimating that the modern high-quality seamless steel tube has a better resistance to compression, Song Yong plans to fill the barrel with more gunpowder.

Secondly, when the barrel is thicker, the lead bullet stuffed into it is naturally larger.

The genuine brown bass musket used the kind of lead bullet that weighed 30 grams, and the lead bullet that Song Yong made now weighed at least 50 grams.

After shooting out, the power should also be stronger.

As for the characters who tested the gun, it was not Song Yong himself, but two hunters with very good archery skills.

It's not that Song Yong didn't dare to get started, but after learning that such a test was a little dangerous, Song Yong was strongly urged by the high-level to not get started.

Venerable Brother Yong, you just need to give guidance from afar.

"Put a little gunpowder in the magazine first, that's all right, that's enough, and then pour a little gunpowder out of the barrel; no, that's not enough." ”

So, in the snowflakes of the night, the square area was full of Brother Yong's voice.

After the hunter with the iron strip pressed the gunpowder in the barrel a few times, Song Yong took off two small bags of lead bullets from the belt around his waist.

The two hunters who were trying the guns were delivered one by one.

After going back to see it last time, in just a few days of hard work, Song Yong's customized lead bullet in that small hardware factory naturally had not had time to be delivered.

However, Song Yong can still find a way to solve the lead bullet of the test gun this time.

It is nothing more than picking out the smallest of the lead boxes on the car, melting them and letting Six Fingers and others polish them by hand, which is a suitable lead bullet.

There are more than 100 of these lead bullets, which look like a finger.

The hunter who took the lead bullet from Niang stuffed the lead bullet into the barrel again, and then compacted it with a strip.

In the end, when the two hunters raised their muskets against the hard boar, they aimed at the 'three points and one line' in Brother Yong's mouth.

Including Song Yong himself, they couldn't help but get nervous.

Whether this thing can shine in the primordial plane depends on how this guy shoots out......

The two loud noises of 'bang~' suddenly spread far away in the quiet village, so that the natives who had already fallen asleep woke up one after another.

They didn't know what was going on, and it was an unspeakable panic.

It's just that Song Yong at this moment can't take care of the panic caused by his negligence.

Because under the first shot of the two hunters, there was actually one of them who hit the target, and after a choking smoke dissipated, a small cub the size of a fist appeared on the hard boar, which was almost eye-catching to pass by.

Looking at such an amazing power, the natives were terrified.

Because of such a powerful attack, they didn't even see the afterimage of the projectile except for a flash of fire, and it was as fast as lightning.

Just ask who has time to dodge such an attack.
