The musket on the top, Liu Feng was a little inexplicably excited, history may have been completely rewritten at this moment.

Walked forward, lifted the musket, as soon as I got into it, I felt a heavy press, a little about fifteen pounds, after the long barrel, there is a butt made of elm, the whole musket is about one meter and a half long, the front end of the barrel is equipped with a crosshair, the rear is equipped with a door, constituting an aiming device, and the curved butt is also easy for the shooter to get close to the musket for aiming and shooting.

Liu Feng nodded, no wonder Lin Boyuan was arrogant, carefully examined this cross-era musket, couldn't describe his mood, Lin Boyuanfeng who walked in looked like he couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "This thing is used, the range is almost the same as that of a longbow and crossbow arrows, and it is not even as powerful as a hard bow of more than three stones, I really don't know why you bothered to make it!" ”

Liu Feng ignored him, touching the musket with an emotional look.

"The use of weapons is in the heart, you don't understand it as a craftsman!" LIU Fengdao,

Then the people brought ammunition, loaded it into the musket, and after ramming it with a cane, they poured primer medicine into the medicine pool, and then covered the medicine pool, lit the fire rope, and completed a series of loading actions.

Lin Bo saw that Liu Feng had completed the loading of the musket without his guidance, and he looked helpless. Liu Feng stopped talking to him and went to the weapon experiment outside the workshop with a gun.

There are also some craftsmen in the laboratory who are experimenting, Liu Feng didn't pay attention to it, he wanted to fire a shot himself, which can be regarded as a dream of his own!

Holding the musket, it was a little heavy, not too convenient to aim, but he had experience in using guns, how could he be stumped, adjusted his breathing, raised the musket, and with a slight aim, he pulled off the arquebus faucet.

"Poof!"

With a dull gunshot, a flame erupted from the back of the gun, and a cloud of smoke came out of the medicine pool, and the recoil of the musket was not small, and the butt of the gun hit him the shoulder.

After firing a shot, Liu Feng knew the power of the musket in his heart, and Lin Boyuan, who was beside him, asked with a smile, "Are you disappointed?" ”

"Not really! Unsurprisingly, it is remarkable that you can make such a musket! Let's talk about it! The specific power of the musket! Liu Feng said loudly

It is not much different from what Liu Feng guessed, the range of the musket is about 300 meters, but the effective range is only about 200 meters, within 50 meters, it can break the armor, and about 100 meters can only hit the target by density, and the shooting speed is frighteningly slow, at most one hit a minute.

Such a powerful musket may not be as good as a longbow and crossbow in practical terms, which is also the reason why Lin Boyuan despises muskets, but Liu Feng knows that the development of firearms is long-term, not a one-time formation, such a musket is very good for the current scientific and technological productivity, has reached a certain level, as long as he is on this road, groping forward, his musket will eventually shine on this land.

Listening to Lin Boyuan talk about the various drawbacks of the musket, Liu Feng shook his head and smiled: "There are all kinds of drawbacks in the musket, but there are also all kinds of benefits, as long as it is used properly, it is also a magic weapon!" ”

Bo Yuan looked suspicious, and Liu Feng continued: "If you are equipped with such a musket at the third pass in the north, a sergeant will be responsible for firing five people, and the rest will be responsible for loading, or use three combos, under the enemy's constant attack from afar, I think the longbowmen will not be able to compare with the continuous firepower of the musket!" ”

"As long as the musket can fire hundreds of times continuously, and there are enough ammunition, it is enough to become a nightmare for the enemy on the battlefield! As long as we can make a better barrel and more powerful gunpowder, the power of the musket will always increase, and a longbowman, how can you train him to be more powerful! ”

Boyuan was about to fall into contemplation again, Liu Feng was about to speak, but Lin Boyuan suddenly raised his head and said, "Do you mean, thicken the barrel and increase the amount of gunpowder?" In that case, the sergeants won't be able to lift it?! ”

"The stone throwing cart is not something that a sergeant can move!" Liu Feng said with a smile, but he also sighed in his heart, as long as one door is opened, the wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated.

When Lin Boyuan heard this, he thought for a while, and said, "Ah! But he didn't expect that in this way, the power of the musket would be enough to help the Northland sergeants! ”

opened the door to artillery for Lin Boyuan, and Liu Feng didn't mind telling him more about the idea of firearms making, and he looked forward to the day when Lin Boyuan could surprise him again.

On the same day, Liu Feng carefully envisioned the development direction of the musket, and instilled in Lin Boyuan a series of future firearms such as rifled barrels, flintlock guns, rear-loading guns, repeating guns, artillery rocket artillery, mine bombs, and so on.

Lin Boyuan, who was stunned, Liu Feng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "These are all conjectures, you need to realize them step by step, we need such a weapon, and we also need a genius like you to make such a powerful weapon!" ”

At this moment, a picture appeared in Lin Boyuan's mind, on the battlefield, the rumbling explosions continued, and before the Khitan army saw the Fu Wei army, it had been fired by various firearms projectiles, and the people who hit it turned on their backs, and the Fu Wei sergeants stepped forward again to easily eliminate these lingering wolf riders.

He didn't know if these could be realized, but it was exciting to think about it, if these weapons were built, how could the Khitan wolf riders dare to go south to plunder, I am afraid that they would have already moved to Mobei.

Lin Boyuan's face was full of excitement, he didn't know why he was excited, maybe he was excited about the picture he had just imagined, maybe he was excited that he was about to make a powerful weapon.

Liu Feng ignored Lin Boyuan's speculation, but went to Zamule, as a member of the Armaments Department, Zamul spent most of his time in the military camp refinery and other places, which is also his strength, seeing Liu Feng's arrival.

Zamul was very skilled in a military salute, stepped forward and said: "That musket is really good, but it can't be mass-produced, there are as many as 500 craftsmen in the military camp, in addition to making weapons and armor, etc., but also to try to make all kinds of crossbow arrows and other manpower is not very sufficient!" ”

Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "I'm not busy!" The key to this is no longer this, but how to improve the quality of steel in the refinery, if we can refine fine iron, we can save a lot of manpower to make weapons! At present, it is necessary to concentrate on solving the problem of steel refining! ”

Liu Feng knows that the quality of steel output is an important criterion for measuring a party's industry, and if his steel output and quality cannot be broken, then his industrial development pace will be limited.
