Ding Daniu calculated very clearly, this is the handwriting of His Majesty the Emperor, with this, are you still worried that the father-in-law gave him a cold face?

……

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Cijiong laughed: "It turned out to be this matter, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." When I go back, I will ask Grandpa Liu to make a plaque and send it to your home! ”

Ding Daniu was so moved that Zhu Cijiong patted him on the shoulder: "On the second day of February next year, if I am in Nanyang, I should personally go and ask for a glass of water and wine!" ”

Ding Da Niu puffed, and knelt down for Zhu Cijiong: "Your Majesty is very loving, and the ministers can only repay each other with death!" ”

He choked up and couldn't speak.

This is a good thing that there is green smoke on the ancestral grave!

"Get up, I won't allow you to kneel! Our Ming boy, even if you die, you have to die standing for me! Zhu Cijiong waved his hand and asked Ding Daniu to stand up.

Zhang Siyuan stretched out his hand and dragged Ding Da Niu up: "Master Ding, on the day of your son's wedding, if we are free, we are going to ask for a glass of water and wine, Master Ding, you have to make the banquet a little better, otherwise, I will scold my mother." ”

"Hahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

……

Because of these three lathes, everyone was delayed for nearly an hour, and when they got out of the cutting workshop and came to the finished product warehouse, they saw a musket with a handle, placed in rows on the gun rack.

The wooden handle made of walnut has been painted with tung oil three times, and the color is bright red, revealing a trace of wood texture.

It also has a blue-colored barrel and an adjustable aiming reticle on the barrel, all of which shows that this is a musket that has never been seen in this world before!

Ding Da Niu took a new musket and introduced to everyone:

"According to His Majesty's idea, the barrel of our new musket is all made of fifty forged fine iron, and there are several grooves in the inner wall of this barrel, so that because the bullet is stuck in the groove and glides, the shooting accuracy can be improved!"

(The rifled gun was originally rifled straight and was introduced in Europe around the end of the Ming Dynasty.) The reason why it did not become popular was because of the lack of the breath-holding function of the Minie round, which is also known as the Minny rifle. In fact, the most important thing about the Mini rifle is not the barrel, but the bullet. ）

Li Tingran picked up the barrel and looked at it: "The idea is very good, with these rail-like grooves, it can indeed improve accuracy......"

He frowned: "It's just that in this way, the bullet can't fit the wall of the gun, these grooves, will leak!" ”

Li Tingran naturally understood that if the seal was not good, the range and power would be unsatisfactory.

"Yes!" Ding Da Niu grinned, and he looked at Zhu Cijiong with admiration: "Li Fuyin, look at these bullets that Your Majesty asked me to make!" ”

Ding Da Niu took a pack of lead bullets from the side and handed it to everyone to watch.

"Huh?"

Li Tingran and Zhang Siyuan were stunned.

The two are not nerds who only read the books of the sages.

In fact, the rotten Confucianism can't do the status of the two......

The warhead that Ding Da Niu gave them was not the spherical-shaped projectile they had seen before.

This bullet, like a finger, turned out to be a combination of cylindrical and conical shapes!

"Your Majesty, this ......"

The two were dumbfounded, what kind of warhead is this?

Why make such a bullet at the expense of the difficulty?

Turning the bullet around, I saw that the round side was even inlaid with a cork.

Looking at this bullet with complicated craftsmanship, Zhang Siyuan and Li Tingran completely forgot what they wanted to ask just now - what should be done with the tightness after rifling.

Zhu Cijiong smiled without saying a word, and reached out to take the gunpowder jar from Ding Daniu's hand.

"Let's go, go to the shooting range and you'll know!"

……

The shooting range is not far from the firearms workshop, and in Wollongong's generation, Zhu Cijiong not only has an artillery range, but also a musket range that spans several miles.

Instead of the usual round targets, the range is made of more complex humanoid targets.

The flintlock pistol in Zhu Cijiong's hand has a larger caliber.

This is because rifled muskets need to be engraved with a graver into the barrel, that is, the rounded inner wall of the barrel is carved out of shallow grooves.

Therefore, the muzzle of this new gun is much larger than that of a shotgun or a reluctant.

The caliber of the mini gun in Zhu Cijiong's hand is 17 mm, which is almost the same caliber as the historical mini gun.

The caliber of almost two centimeters made it possible for the barrel to fully accommodate a finger.

Of course, with such a large caliber, the power of the bullet is also considerable.

Zhu Cijiong wanted to shoot the target, and the guards naturally hurriedly arranged the venue, and Zhang Da asked: "Your Majesty, how far is the first target placed?" ”

"One hundred zhang." Zhu Cijiong is full of confidence.

One hundred zhang!

The crowd was dumbfounded.

100 zhang is 333.3 meters! According to His Majesty's new weights and measures, this is a distance of more than half a mile!

How can a gun hit such a long distance?

What's more-

At that distance, although it is a humanoid target, it is slightly larger than a conventional circular target. However, as far as the eye can see, the target is only the size of a finger, how can this be accurate?

……

With such a distance ahead, Zhu Cijiong is full of confidence.

When he was in Laohugou, he practiced nearly 10,000 rounds of ammunition with a shotgun.

Although the range of the shotgun is only 30 zhang, the distance that can be aimed is only 18 zhang, and once this distance is exceeded, the projectile will not be where to go.

Zhu Cijiong has never hit such a far target. (In this day and age, no firearm can go so far except to carry a gun!) ）

However, with the gun in his hand to hit a 100-zhang target, Zhu Cijiong was very confident.

A target of 100 zhang is only more than 300 meters.

For Dacheng's Minnie gun, this is the most basic operation!

He took the funnel filled with gunpowder from Ding Daniu's hand, put the butt of the gun on the ground and erected it, and then took out a packet of granular gunpowder packed in a paper bag.

This powder pouch is conical in shape, so that it is easy to load on the battlefield.

Zhu Cijiong bit off the tip of the conical powder bag with his teeth, and then poured the gunpowder into the barrel.

Because it was granular gunpowder, it almost didn't need to be compacted, so Zhu Cijiong symbolically pressed it slightly, then took out a bullet, and gently pushed it with a push rod, and the bullet slid into the barrel.

Seeing that Zhu Cijiong picked up the gun directly like this, instead of smashing the bullet with a strip to deform it, so as to fit the barrel, Zhang Siyuan, Li Tingran and others were stunned.

I'm afraid that the range can't even be fifty paces, right?

……

Zhu Cijiong squinted, the barrel of the gun in his hand did not move at all, he held his breath and aimed at the humanoid target in the distance.

Feeding tens of thousands of bullets, even a scumbag has already become a master.

Zhu Cijiong's marksmanship is not accurate, and it is no problem to shoot birds with a shotgun.
