"Yes, I saw my dad build a fire gun with my own eyes." Wang Dazhui said with emotion.

Fang Nan didn't ask about Wang Dazhui's words, if Wang Dazhui wanted to say it, he would say it himself, Fang Nan could guess a rough process with a little guessing, Wang Dazhui's family was a craftsman, and he was once responsible for building firearms for the Ming Dynasty army, and something happened, Wang Dazhui's family fled into the mountains.

Also, carpenters work this kind of craft, ordinary people can figure out by themselves can also be simple carpenter work, but iron-making, iron-striking is not something ordinary people can figure out, and only craftsmen who specialize in iron-making can find iron ore in the deep mountains, and then mine iron ore, iron-making, and iron-making, so that there is such a village as Hutou Village that is good at striking iron in the deep mountains.

After Wang Dazhui sighed, he carefully looked at the drawings drawn by Fang Nan, which are not professional drawings in the modern world, just drawings drawn by Fang Nan, a non-professional, but the drawings drawn by Fang Nan are very careful, with an overall structure and a separate part structure, ordinary people can understand the utensils painted on the drawings.

As long as the parts of standard size are manufactured according to the drawings, a musket is assembled.

After looking at the drawings for a while, Wang Dazhui said suspiciously: "The fire gun painted on this paper is different from the fire gun I remembered?" ”

At the beginning, the fire gun built by Wang Dazhui's father was an arquebus, to be exact, "bird gun", which was widely used in the Ming Dynasty army.

According to the records of the Ming Huidian, in the 37th year of Jiajing (1558), 10,000 beak guns were made in one year, and Qi Jiguang's "Actual Record of Military Training" (published in 1571) recorded that the Qi family army infantry battalion had 2,699 people and was equipped with 1,080 bird guns, accounting for about 40%.

Fang Nan wanted to build a firearm with better performance than the bird's gun, and at the same time, according to the actual situation, it was not possible to draw a firearm that was too difficult to build, such as a rear-loading rifle, the Ming Dynasty could not build a rear-loading rifle in a short period of time with all its strength, let alone the Hutou Village in the deep mountains.

In the end, the Foonnan design sketched out a front-loading rifled flintlock pistol with a special buckshot, and the reference object was the Minér, the pinnacle of the front-loading rifled flintlock pistol.

Before the advent of the Mine rifle, the smoothbore gun was a practical weapon, while the rifled gun was only an experimental weapon, and the main problem of the rifled gun was that due to the engraving, it was difficult for the front-loading bullet to keep the chamber breathless, and the power was greatly reduced.

In order to achieve good breath-holding, rifled gun bullets are often made of the same caliber as the gun caliber or even slightly larger, so it is extremely difficult to load, often need to use a hammer to hammer the push lever to advance the gun bullet into place, as a result, this often leads to a more dangerous rifle rupture, and the bullet is often deformed due to rough operation when advancing to the position of the medicine room, and the killing effect cannot be achieved.

The Minne rifle uses a cylindrical shell lead bullet, because this bullet is slightly smaller than the caliber of the rifle, so it solves the embarrassing situation that the front loading bullet of the old rifle cannot be stuffed into the barrel or blocked the barrel due to the large bullet, and the lead bullet can be easily pushed into the chamber with a bullet pusher. Thus significantly increasing the rate of fire.

Lead bullets are threaded around the projectile body to match rifling, and the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil. The bottom of the bullet is made of cork, and when fired, the gunpowder gas hits the cork, and the cork is hit by an instantaneous impact, and the bullet is violently expanded.

Because the bullet is stretched, it can rely on the bullet itself to complete the sealing of the chamber at the moment of firing without leaking gunpowder gas and causing the loss of kinetic energy of the bullet, which solves the problem of sealing the chamber of the old front-loading gun and greatly enhances the rate of fire, range and safety of the gun.

Listening to Wang Dazhui's doubtful words, Fang Nan took out a silver ingot from his personal space and put it in front of Wang Dazhui and said: "It's really different, as long as the fire gun I drew can be created, it is definitely the best fire gun, and the difficulty of building it should be improved, can the master of Wang Zhai build this fire gun?" I can pay for it. ”

"I've only seen my dad make a firecracker, but I haven't made a firebolt myself, I can try to make this firebolt drawn on paper, but I can't guarantee that this firebolt will be built in good condition."

Wang Dazhui's gaze turned twice from the silver and the drawings, and finally it was the silver that made Wang Dazhui determined to try, the silver in the mountains is useless, but Hutouzhai also communicates with the outside world, can use silver to buy things from the outside world, and the difficulty of building firearms is different from ordinary iron, as long as the firearms are built, Hutouzhai can earn more money and buy more food.

"The owner of Wang Zhai will do his best, even if it fails, I will give Hutou Zhai silver compensation, if it can be successfully built, I will buy it at a high price, and ensure that the people of Hutou Zhai have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

Wang Dazhui nodded and said that he understood, if it was before, Fang Nan's words were definitely big words in Wang Dazhui's eyes, Qingshanzhai itself was able to eat enough, and the living standard was about the same as Hutou Village, and the people of Qingshanzhai said that the people of Hutouzhai would have no worries about food and clothing, how could this be possible.

Now Fang Nan showed his hands a little in front of Wang Da Hammer, the musket drawings and silver were made out of nothing, this "little trick" is not ordinary, anyway, now Fang Nan can get the silver, then Wang Da Hammer is willing to try, if Fang Nan has no silver, then he will not build it, as for making the people of Hutou Village worry-free, Wang Da Hammer does not care much.

In addition, firearms are not things that can be built and held at will by the people, but people living in the mountains will not care about this matter.

After Fang Nan and Wang Da Hammer discussed, they decided to start building firearms tomorrow, and today Fang Nan and his party were tired of walking, so they would take a rest first.

After Wang Da Hammer was separated from Fang Nan and his party, he kept thinking about the fire gun drawn on the paper, with the blacksmith's senses, Wang Da Hammer felt that the "gun pipe" of the fire gun was the most difficult to build, as long as the gun pipe was built, then the fire gun was half the success.

If Fang Nan knew Wang Da Hammer's thoughts, he would definitely think that building firearms would have a chance of success, before coming to Hutou Village, Fang Nan had been worried that Hu Tou Village's iron-striking skills were not good, and he could not build firearms, and now he knows that Wang Da Hammer is from a craftsman's family, and he will definitely inherit some iron-striking skills from his father, which must be many times stronger than his own exploration.

The barrel of a firearm is indeed the most difficult to build among all the components of a firearm, compared to a smoothbore gun like a bird, the barrel of the Migne rifle as a rifled gun is more difficult to build, it is difficult to build the barrel, and it is also difficult to draw the rifling, even if the barrel is made, the rifling is also good, it is very likely that because the material of the barrel is not good, the rifle created is defective.

In general, the Minne rifle is still relatively easy to build compared to this era, and the difficulties are only a few, Fang Nan will work with the people of Hutou Village to solve one problem after another and build this firearm.
