Li Jing looked at the cooled barrel in front of him, picked it up and observed it carefully, the workmanship was still a little rough, there was no way, the process problem could only be pondered with time, and the problem should be solved first.

Li Jing picked up a brown bass flintlock pistol bought on the light curtain and said to the people around him: "This rifle uses fixed ammunition, and the personnel will be strictly trained, and the rate of fire can reach 46 seconds and three rounds. Actually, it can be faster, and we don't have to follow the exact same imitation. “

The surrounding technical backbones of the firearms department all gathered around Li Jing and listened carefully, one-third of these people were the sons of the Li family's collateral family, and the rest were the sons of the Li family's tenants and hired workers. The age is between sixteen and twenty years old, the artillery and firearms workshop, the salary is high, Li Jing is divided into ten grades according to the technical level and the contribution of invention and creation, the first eight levels are similar to the eight levels of later fitters. Grades 9 and 10 are reserved for master craftsmen, and if they make a significant contribution, they can also be upgraded to a lifetime of validity and receive a salary regardless of whether they continue to work or not. Even when you are older, you continue to be paid a salary just for guidance.

"Senior brother, what is fixed ammunition," the little senior sister also came to see the freshness today, and asked puzzledly, Li Jing's length and shortness of the firearm During this time, she did not play less. Li Jing found that she was quite talented in shooting, and she was much faster than Li Jing at the beginning, and she played accurately.

Li Jing took out a piece of kraft paper made by Taohuawu, cut it into a rectangular piece with scissors, and then used a balance to weigh out the appropriate particle gunpowder, a lead bullet. Put the buckshot on the right and the gunpowder on the left, then roll it up, use a cotton thread rope, first tie the lead bullet tightly at one end, then tie the lead bullet and gunpowder at one end, and then tie the gunpowder at the other end.

"This is the fixed ammunition, packed before the battle, and the outside of the kraft paper is oiled and waterproof to prevent moisture. When using, take it out, bite off the part of the bandaging rope on the outside of the gunpowder directly with your teeth, and then open the powder pool of the musket first, pour a little less gunpowder, and then close the L-shaped lid, the lid is vertical This part is used for flint ignition, the fire will ignite the gunpowder in the powder pool, and the barrel and the small platform of the medicine pool are riveted together. A hole will be drilled in the barrel of the gun, at which point the pot will be covered with a lid to stand up the gun without the gunpowder from spilling out. “

Then Li Jing stood up the gun demonstratively, then poured the remaining gunpowder into the chamber, and then stuffed the remaining paper tube wrapped with lead bullets into the chamber, pulled out a long pusher rod from under the barrel, and inserted the hammer head exposed on the outside of the pusher rod into the chamber of the gun, and slammed it hard.

"That's it, you see, if the ammunition is fixed before the war, there will be no panic on the battlefield, people will tremble when they are nervous, and gunpowder will be loaded more or less. If the barrel is damaged or even exploded if it is loaded, the range and lethality will be reduced if it is less loaded, and the armor will not be broken. In addition, shaking hands can also cause gunpowder to be spilled on the ground when the mouth of the pot is pointed at the narrow muzzle, wasting gunpowder. This is to increase the rate of fire, and the other is to enter the chamber with wrapping paper, which seals the gap between the lead bullet and the chamber to prevent air leakage and has a longer range. Of course, if you don't consider the cost, it is better to use silk, because silk can be completely burned, there is less dregs, and the cleaning cycle can be improved, and 65 rounds fired with kraft paper must be cleared. If it is silk, it can be cleared with 100 rounds. But the silk teeth can't be bitten, so they can only use the live buckle and pull the tether directly with their teeth. “

At this time, a middle-aged craftsman asked, "Childe, if you use this kind of fixed ammunition, how much can the rate of fire reach?" How much difference can it be with a direct medicine pot. “

"If an hour were divided into 120 parts, and the time of each part I would call one minute, and in one minute, the musketeers of strict training, using fixed ammunition, could fire four times. If the old reload can only fire one or two rounds. Moreover, the fixed paper tube seals the chamber, and the firing range is increased by at least two percent. “

There was a lot of discussion around, this effect is not small, at this time, Li Jing Yuguang saw that there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old thin boy on the periphery, who seemed to have something to say, but he looked very timid, looking at the clothes, this is the lowest level of apprenticeship.

"If you have anything to say, you can speak freely regardless of your identity, and it doesn't matter if you say something wrong," Li Jing encouraged

"Childe, I think this gun can continue to be improved to further increase the rate of fire," the boy plucked up his courage and said.

"Well, tell me what you think" Li Jing gave him an encouraging look.

"I think that if the hole between the medicine pool and the barrel is large enough, there is no need to pour the fire/shot into the medicine pool, and you can directly pour all the shot/shot into the chamber, and the fire/shot will naturally enter the medicine pool after it is solidified, and the medicine pool does not need to make an L-shaped cover. Moreover, the medicine pool is enclosed, and it can be used in rainy days, so that it can be directly lit with flint. In this way, one of the most complicated actions is reduced, first the gun must be erected on the ground, bite open the fixed ammunition body, and then the gun will be horizontally opened the L-shaped powder pool cover, and a little gunpowder will be inserted. Then continue to put the gun upright, then charge, and then solidify, if the medicine pool is closed, you only need to pour the gunpowder directly into it, and then load the lead bullet. The procedure can reduce the time by at least one-third. The rate of fire is estimated to be increased by two more rounds. “

Li Jing was very surprised, this was the method of the Germans in the early 19th century, which further increased the rate of fire. I didn't expect this thin boy who didn't look amazing to bring it up.

"What's your name, where is your home, who else is in your family"

Wang Laosan said: "Back to Gongzi's words, this child has only been here for three days, it is my nephew, called Chen Chong, he didn't pass the exam this year, there are a bunch of children in the family, and his parents are doing odd jobs to make ends meet, I think his family is too difficult, so I took it upon myself to call him in as an apprentice, after all, those who are literate and hyphenation are smarter than other children." ”

Li Jing turned back to Bai Yu and said, "Transfer his parents to work in a textile factory." The younger siblings were sent to Nanao Town Maritime Academy Preparatory Primary School to go to boarding school. Directly transferred Chen Zhong to the first level of formal technician. ”

Wang Laosan was so excited that he hurriedly pulled his nephew to kowtow to Li Jing. Li Jing helped them up and said: "Chen Zhong is a good seedling, you have to focus on cultivating, don't waste your studies when you go to industry, I'll give you some technical books when you go back, you can refer to and study." ”

Li Jing looked at everyone and said: "Everyone should develop an atmosphere of expressing their own opinions, and every morning in the morning meeting, they should make a record, record any good suggestions, and if they are used in the future, they must be credited." ”

"This imitation adopts Chen Chong's opinion, and the medicine pool is made closed, and this rifle is named the Apocalypse One Rifle after it is finalized. The bayonet is made of Mitsubishi bayonet, one can effectively break the armor, the other is not easy to break, you have to step up your research, if you add 17% manganese to the steel, it will be very resistant to wear, and the service life of the barrel is longer. But it's going to get harder, so you can continue to work on it."
