After sending Yan Xun away, Lu Luo and his mother had dinner at his uncle's mansion and rushed back to Lu Mansion overnight.

Lu Qijun came back in the afternoon, heard that he had lost hundreds of taels of silver, was in a very bad mood, and had a little fever, so he asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and had fallen asleep.

The next day, the third aunt's maid came to the main courtyard to spread the word that Lu Qijun had a high fever.

Wen and Lu Luo went to visit.

Lu Qijun was lying on the bed, groggy. He contracted a wind chill on Chinese New Year's Eve and had a slight fever. But he didn't care, he gambled all night, lost hundreds of taels of silver, lost money, and was unlucky, angry and sick.

I asked the doctor to take medicine last night, but Lu Qijun's illness did not go down, but became more serious, and he got up early and burned his face and ears.

The aunt and the girls also arrived.

"Let's change doctors." Wen said to his aunt, "These doctors in Beijing are unreliable, they have a headache and a doctor's foot." According to me, the lord may not be the wind cold, but do you know that it is not the yin deficiency and body heat caused by staying up late? ”

At the beginning, in Huzhou Mansion, there was a goddess doctor surnamed Gu, who had a good relationship with the Wen family, and also cured Lu Luo's asthma.

Shi Ting is also a doctor, and in the past two years, he has often come to see Aunt Chen's grandmother, and Wen is used to seeing miracle doctors, and he will also say a few words about medicine.

When she spoke, the crowd looked at her in amazement.

Wen's eyes were slightly cold.

The eldest aunt came back to her senses and hurriedly sent someone to ask for a doctor again.

After taking the medicine, Lu Qijun's fever subsided by most of the time, and he didn't think that in the middle of the night, he had a fever again.

So back and forth, tossed to the sixth day of the first month. The yamen can't go either.

Lu Luo and the Wen family were also trapped in the Lu Mansion, and it was difficult to go back to their uncle.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Lu Qijun was able to completely reduce his fever and did not repeat it.

"Last year, there was a fire in the house, and the heat and poison gathered in this yard, and it has not dispersed much. Why don't you take half a month off and go to Zhuangzi to recuperate for some time? Wen suggested Lu Luo.

What "hot poison does not disperse", this is nonsense.

Lu Qijun thought to himself: The family has died, and it may be a little unclean. Go out for a walk, there is some fresh game in Zhuangzi. Not bad.

The Lu family has two granges. One was given to Lu Qijun by someone from Huzhou Mansion, and one was left by Lu Qijun's original partner Sun.

"It's okay, let's go to Zhuangzi." Lu Qijun was very weak and asked the third aunt to prepare carriages and horses for him.

Meantime. He handed the letter of leave to the yamen.

Lu Qijun is the future father-in-law of the Marquis of Zhongwu. Sooner or later, you have to be promoted. The officials would not offend him, and immediately granted him a month's leave.

On the morning of the seventh day of the new year, Lu Qijun led two small servants. A maid went to the grange.

Wen and Lu Luo also immediately moved to Wen Lexi's side.

Lu Luo asked for a small house in Wen Lexi's backyard, bought a lot of gunpowder, and went to the blacksmith shop to get iron and lead projectiles with his own hands.

Bronze pipes are more difficult to get because of the current iron-smelting technology, it is difficult to create seamless. Even if the mold is made and irrigated with bronze water, the pipe wall is thick and uneven.

Round pipes can't be beaten, they can't be thick and uneven, and they can easily explode.

Although the bronze pipe is relatively reliable, the smelting technology is not enough, and those fragile bronze pipes are not as good as the thick bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube is a natural seamless tube, with uniform walls, and the bore pressure is stronger than that of the man-made bronze tube.

"I've looked for all the powerful blacksmiths in Beijing, and I don't know where there is a better one." Lu Luo thought to himself.

Unable to find a good blacksmith, Lu Luo went to ask his uncle again.

Wen Le Xicai doesn't care about any rules, he has always been responsive to Lu Luo's needs: "Okay, my uncle will turn the capital upside down for you and find a good blacksmith to come out." ”

Sure enough, Wen Lexi spent five days of hard work to help Lu Luo find a very powerful old blacksmith.

The old blacksmith's surname is You, he is sixty years old this year, and he is famous for his good craftsmanship. With this skill, he opened several workshops, and now they are all handed over to his apprentices and sons to take care of, and enjoy his own blessings.

Master You, like other blacksmiths, has a red and black complexion and has been roasted by fire all year round.

Lu Luo was very happy and studied with Master You how to make seamless bronze pipes.

Lu Luo still wants to make a assault rifle, which makes Wen Lexi quite helpless, feeling that this girl is stubborn and useless, so he persuaded her: "The assault rifle is not very practical, not to mention a strong crossbow, it is a good bow and arrow, it shoots farther than the assault rifle, and the power is greater than that of the assault rifle."

Moreover, the assault rifle is filled with gunpowder after each shot, which is a hundred times more troublesome than the bow and arrow, the barrel is easy to explode, and the gunpowder is easy to be damp and dumb fire, which is inconvenient. If it was really useful, it would have been used in the army a long time ago, so why wait until now?

The assault rifle is a new and fun thing, and it is usually taken out to show off, but it is even more useless than chicken ribs when it is really put into battle. You work so hard, my uncle is afraid that you will blow yourself up, and it will be in vain. ”

Wen Lexi was mainly afraid that Lu Luo would explode the gunpowder and hurt himself.

Lu Luoyi's girl's family, and she doesn't have to go to war, so she sells favors when she makes it. I blew myself up in order to sell personal favors, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"I just want to get some new things, uncle, don't worry about me, I know what to do." Lu Luo said with a smile.

Wen Lexi was helpless.

Wen wanted to stop her, but Lu Luo ignored her, so angry that Wen scolded her for being unfilial.

Throughout the New Year, Lu Luo was busy with this matter.

Master You's smelting skills are indeed superb, but after a few days of exploration, he successfully made two seamless bronze pipes for Lu Luo, with the same thickness and strong pressure-bearing capacity.

Lu Luo set out to make a gun.

"The assault guns of the Song and Yuan dynasties only used gunpowder, and it was not until the invention of the seamless bronze tube in the early Ming Dynasty that the chamber pressure increased, and lead bullets or iron bullets were added to the gunpowder to increase the power of the assault gun." Lu Luo thought to himself.

Therefore, with the bronze tube, her assault gun deservedly can be called a "fire gun".

She also managed to make two, and when she tried them out, she knocked the tree in the backyard crooked.

Then, the back wall was also knocked down.

"Uncle, I'm sorry." Lu Luo was a little embarrassed about the damage he had.

Wen Lexi touched her head: "Don't hurt yourself, what is something worth?" You can tear down this yard, but don't hurt yourself. ”

Lu Luo repeatedly promised that he would never hurt himself.

After several experiments, Lu Luo was also very dangerous once, a gun suddenly exploded when she was filling with gunpowder, fortunately she reacted immediately and dodged, the fragments only injured her left leg, cut the cotton pants, and scratched a little skin on her skin.

Wen's heart was so distressed that he burst into tears: "Don't do it again, if you have three long and two short, will your mother be dead or alive?" ”

However, Lu Luo went to get it again the next day, and Wen was very angry.

By the sixth day of the second lunar month, Lu Luo successfully made three muskets, which could be filled with gunpowder with lead bullets, and the range was about 300 meters, far exceeding the strongest bow and arrow.

The strongest bow and arrow have a range of about one hundred and fifty meters.

Lu Luo was very satisfied.

She summarized and wrote down the smelting bronze pipe technology, gunpowder filling technology, range technology, etc., and prepared to find an opportunity to hand over to Yan Xun with the three firearms.

This is the favor of Yan Xun who gave her a BMW.
