Jiang Yuyan clapped his hands again to silence these people: "I know what an ordinary firearm is like, but in Manggu Mountain, what we use is not an ordinary firecracker. ”

"Compared to ordinary firearms, it has a fast rate of fire, it can shoot more than thirty times in a quarter of an hour, and its firing range is also very long, capable of reaching a hundred paces, and at the same time it is very accurate enough to hit birds in the woods - that's why I call it a bird gun." Jiang Yugang introduced the bird to the recruits.

"With it, you will be the safest group of people on the battlefield, and you will be able to fight the enemy, and the enemy will not be able to hurt you, whether it is a hunting knife, a bow or arrow, or a firearm of inferior quality than ordinary firearms."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, the recruits actually quieted down, and the bird gun was indeed an epoch-making product compared to the fire gun. In particular, the design of the bird gun he provided was close to the technology of the late sixteenth century, surpassing the fire gun that is now common for a century and a half.

"Baihu, what you said is good, you have to show us." No matter how powerful the bird is, Jiang Yu's description has already aroused the curiosity of the recruits.

At this time, Lu Chongzheng walked over with a beautiful shape and smooth lines, which looked more like a handicraft than the murder weapon.

Jiang Yuyan took the bird gun from Lu Chong's hand and introduced it to everyone: "This one is Lu Chong, the leader of our craftsmen, don't you want to go to the battlefield?" Then go to him and conduct an assessment of the level of craftsmanship, and if you pass the assessment, you will follow him as a craftsman in the future, and you will never have to go to the battlefield again. ”

After hearing this, the recruits couldn't help but feel a commotion, and then a few people walked out, and then followed these people, and more than half of them actually came out.

"Baihu, this?" Lu Chong didn't expect it to be such a scene, "Everyone is following to be craftsmen, can this battle be fought?" ”

"It's okay, you can assess how you want, you don't need to raise the standard in order to control the number of people, people who really have no will to fight, forcing them to go to the battlefield will only be half the effort." Jiang Yu was really helpless, but he still ordered Lu Chong with a serious expression.

"Don't let me see people who have the ability to be craftsmen and are forced to go to war because you raised the bar."

"Okay, Baihu." Lu Chong rarely saw Jiang Yugang's expression so terrifying, and replied with sincere fear.

"Now, then, all of you, come with me and see the power of this bird." Jiang Yu made a gesture, and everyone followed with curiosity.

On the outskirts of the camp was a place covered by dense forests, and crisp birdsong could be heard everywhere, and Jiang Yu followed the sound and saw a bird with brightly colored feathers standing on the branch of a large tree in the distance.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, "Do you see that bird?" We'll fight that one. ”

The soldiers standing at the front nodded, and whispered the news to the soldiers behind them in turn, and then everyone watched Jiang Yu's shot with bated breath.

Jiang Yugang took out the ability to play balloons on the stall in the past, and after focusing on aiming, he pulled the trigger, and triggered the fire rope to ignite, and with a "bang", the branch under the bird's feet broke in response.

The bird let out a loud chirp and flapped its wings and flew away, and under the double influence of the sound of the bird's bell and the sound of the birdsong, the birds in the woods flew away one by one, leaving behind the leaves that had fallen from the friction of their feathers against the branches.

Jiang Yuyan put away the bird gun a little embarrassed, touched his head, and asked stubbornly, "Have you seen it all?" ”

For a while, everyone was silent and silent.

"Why, didn't you just miss it-" Jiang Yu wanted to defend himself with some indignation, but what he didn't expect to see was the surprised looks of the recruits.

"Baihu, the power of this bird gun is too great, it can be so far away, and it can break branches so accurately, and it is so convenient to fill gunpowder, with this bird gun, what is the fire gun?" One said, his voice full of excitement.

"Then I won't be a Laoshzi craftsman, it's better to make this bird gong really meritorious." One person even walked directly out of the crowd to participate in the craftsman assessment.

"Hey, if there is a capable guy, the craftsman still has to do it, this bird gun is difficult to make, there are not enough manpower, and there is not enough to make it." Jiang Yugang reminded. However, he didn't expect that this bird gun would bring such a big impact to these Ming Dynasty people.

As a modern man, he has seen too many powerful weapons, but he has underestimated the impact that the craftsmanship of the late sixteenth century could bring in the middle of the fifteenth century. As the bird became more important in his eyes, the secrecy of the technology also became more important.

Jiang Yu thought about it and pulled Lu Chong to a secluded place: "Lu Chong, this bird gun is currently the foundation of our existence, no matter what the circumstances, we can't reveal the production method of this bird gun." ”

The production method of their bird gun is based on the design drawings and process methods provided by Jiang Yugang, and after the step-by-step discussion and research between Jiang Yugang and Lu Chong, in general, only Lu Chong has really mastered the manufacturing method of the bird gun, after all, Jiang Yugang's hands-on ability is too much inferior to Lu Chong.

"But if the craftsmen are expanded, there will be many people, and there will inevitably be the spread of craftsmanship." Lu Chong's eyes showed a look of worry.

"Then hold on! How did you keep the craftsmanship that your father gave you, then keep the craftsmanship of this firecracker. Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and then added: "I will pick another camp tent for you to use, and it will be the headquarters of this alchemy academy, and two reliable soldiers will be assigned to guard you." ”

"As for the specific method of process secrecy, do you have any ideas?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I think it's actually okay, this bird gun is extremely complicated, although there are design drawings and technological processes, but I still rely on following Brother Yu to analyze and discuss step by step to master the method of production, the two of the Xu family, Zhang Dake followed me to make a few branches, but I only understand a few steps." Lu Chong replied.

"How many steps?" Repeating these words, Jiang Yugang suddenly had some inspiration: "That's it - you need to separate the process of the bird, everyone can only be responsible for a part of it, but not a complete master." ”

"Separation?" Lu Chong pondered for a long time, and his eyes lit up: "I understand, Baihu, this is not difficult to do." ”

"However, like Dake, the uncles and nephews of the Xu family, they are all our own people, maybe we don't need to keep it secret." Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and added: "Based on the bird gun, I have many more complex and wonderful design ideas, compared to those, the bird gun is just a child's toy. ”

"What?" Lu Chong, who had seen the fixed ammunition and the bird's gun, didn't think that Jiang Yugang was boasting, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Brother Yugang's talent in craftsmanship is really a creation given by God, and it is also a great blessing for me to meet him.

"So, I need more craftsmen to join in the participation of the technical process-", Jiang Yu's expression was serious: "-And keep it secret, tell them that the leaker is dead." ”

Hearing such harsh words, Lu Chong didn't feel that it was too much, but instead had a sense of granted: Brother Yu's talent was like coming from heaven, and the secret of heaven naturally could not be revealed.
