The sailors unloaded the flatbed cart from the ship, pulled these cannons and guns back, and then played with more than 100 bird guns and short guns from under the beach, as well as double-barreled short guns, but they were basically rusted to death for more than 50 years and could not be used. Let him have a good experience of the musket technology of the West fifty years ago.

Back in Wupingzhai, the second uncle excitedly stroked these medium-sized Furlong cannons, as if stroking beauties, and the people who ran the sea had a paranoid love for weapons, especially firearms.

"Glue the sand on the strongest linen, and cut it into a handkerchief one foot square, this can be made into gauze, Mei Lan Zhuju, you make me one before dark. Just use the best fish bleaching glue to make it, and there are ready-made ones on board. The sticking is very strong, in fact, the hardness of the sand is still too low, and it is best to use the kind of emery used as a grinding wheel, but there is no one at hand, and ordinary sea sand can also be improvised, and the finest sand must be used to sieve it out with the finest small sieve. Li Jing commanded.

It is estimated that this abrasive cloth is enough for Meilan Zhuju to dry for half a night. The next day, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the four maids not to come out with panda eyes.

"Little brother, is the gauze used to wipe the cannon," Li Weier asked, tilting her head.

"Sister, you guessed it, this abrasive cloth can be used to remove rust, but there is no particularly strong glue, sticking cold water is OK, sticking hot water fish fat glue and donkey skin glue will open the glue, this durability is very poor, so you have to use a piece of cloth to make it."

The next day, everyone started to put this batch of artillery together with the three tiger squat cannons provided by the second uncle, and one was scrubbed with gauze and was the same as new. At the same time, Li Jing drew the pattern of the barbed wire fence at night, as well as the production method, and asked the speedboat to send it to Wang Laosan in Meihuawu, so that he could make it overnight.

In ancient China, as early as the Han and Tang dynasties, they learned the production of chain mail from the West, which was to bend the iron wire into an iron ring chain and make it into an armor, which does not affect physical activity, is close to the body and light in weight, and the disadvantage is that the defense of the bow and crossbow is poor, and the defense of piercing weapons such as spears is particularly poor, and it is mainly effective in dealing with knife and slash damage. Even the Tibetans began to apply the chain mail production techniques learned from Central Asia from the Tang Dynasty. Earlier wires such as the copper wires on the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang linked the stone chips. The Han Dynasty's gold-threaded jade clothes were made of very fine gold wire, gold has good ductility, it is easier to make, and the malleability of iron is not bad, so it should have been available very early. Song Su Shi's poem "Ghost Butterfly": "The eyebrows are rolled with wire, and the wings are faint. "That's wire.

Li Jing felt that it was not difficult for Wang Laosan to pull the wire. In addition, other crafts from ancient times can also be borrowed. In the Ming Dynasty, there was an introduction to the needle-making technology of wire drawing in Tiangong Kaiwu, and wire drawing was to draw iron wire by hand. In addition, the Ming Dynasty began to mass-produce chain mail, generally pulling gold wire, that is, to make some plate steel plates with high hardness, in turn to make small holes with diameters from large to small, and then use fire tongs to clamp the red-hot iron bars, one by one over the small holes, you can get iron wires of different thicknesses. Li Jing wrote down these crafts for Wang Laosan's reference.

The drawn wire should be tempered and hardened, and a certain toughness and roughness should be maintained, so that the knife can be cut continuously, how to cut off, and sharpen the fracture, this let Wang Laosan study it himself, and then use a small iron ring to hang a fish hook on the wire, anyway, when jumping gang, no one dares to wear iron armor, otherwise it will sink directly into the sea. Most of them are shirtless, a pair of bloomers, barefoot and non-slip, with knives in their mouths and grabbing the side of each other's boats with both hands.

Li Jing wants to let him dare to jump into his boat, and his grandmother will hang it on the fish hook, and drag off a piece of meat if he doesn't die. Barbed wire also does not affect the firing of artillery and muskets, tools, throwing weapons, which is really beneficial. Except for the two sides that leave the entrance for disembarking and disembarking, the whole ship is enclosed. Even the entrance is made of barbed wire and usually closed.

Li Jing said the idea, and the second uncle pinched his teeth on the side, "Hey, you kid, it's really poisonous, you can also think of this kind of damage trick." ”

"There's no way, I'm not worried if I don't go, I'm going to sea for the first time, and I haven't fought a broadside battle, so how can I do it if I don't make enough preparations?"

"Little brother, I think we can also let Wang Laosan build a batch of hook and sickle guns, and with a two-zhang long ash pole, our people can stab those jumping gangs through the barbed wire." Li Weier said excitedly, when she talked about stabbing @ people, this chick was excited as if she had taken stupid medicine, her cheeks were flushed, and her hands were dancing.

"Yes, the little brother must use a hook and sickle to hook those bastards, tear them off the boat, hang them on their belly, pull out the intestines, and throw them into the sea to drown," this girl is not a good cake either, waving her little fists, and her watery Danfeng eyes are flashing like wolves.

Li Jing felt a chill all over his body, these two sisters are clearly two tigresses, who will marry them in the future will be bearable, it is really "up to the hall, down to the kitchen, to kill the Trojan horse, to climb the wall, to afford to drive a good car, to afford to buy a new house, to fight the junior, to beat the hooligan." "The whole Ming Dynasty is a strong woman in the new era. It's Nana, Li Jing smiled bitterly, this Li family is a wolf's den, there is no normal. One is more ruthless than the other. Li Jing hurriedly agreed, lest the two pairs of pink fists greet him.

"In this way, the Feilai Mountain still needs to go back to the shipyard once and renovate it. Eight Franc machine gun emplacements should be installed on each side of the board, and five Tiger squat gun emplacements should be installed each. The second uncle said with a deep groan.

"No, the Feilai Mountain is slender, the ship's side length is abundant, these medium-sized Franc cannons and Tiger squat cannons are not heavy, manpower can carry them, and the recoil will not capsize. Sixteen Franc machine gun emplacements and ten Tiger squat gun emplacements are installed on each side. The broadside battles were all on one side, but they brought all the guns on the other side over and bombarded the fuck together. Li Jing said.

"In addition, in addition to casting a batch of iron balls and lead ball solid bullets in a hurry, the artillery shells must also be fired and fired with medicinal silk wrapped in a fixed package according to the specifications of the gun chamber. Medicine, when used, directly into the gun chamber, speed up the charge, but also to store quilts, wrap the artillery, and constantly pour sea water to cool the artillery. It is also necessary to transport some iron slag leftover from iron smelting, and also wrap it in silk and gunpowder into a fixed shotgun, which can be installed directly into the chamber of the Tiger Squat Cannon and the Franc Machine Gun to ignite. ”

The second uncle couldn't help nodding, "This is a good idea, the scuffle at sea, the hands are in a hurry, and the waves are coming, the charge is too time-consuming, in an emergency, it is not far to fight if it is less, and it is more explosive, and I lost manpower first, and it also messed up the morale of the army." This can be avoided if it is changed to a custom-made one. ”

"Yes, the waves will still come up and wet the gunpowder, so it's better to coat the package with wax. This way it is waterproof. Li Jing patted his head and continued.

"Little brother, you are stupid, how expensive wax is, you are really a big young master who doesn't know firewood, rice, oil and salt, A-Niang has nothing to do and never refuses to let us light candles, they are all oil lamps. Isn't it okay to use the kind of oil of the tarpaulin directly to waterproof, and it's easy to ignite. Li Yue'er said. /

"Yes, yes, it's still Sister A's thoughtfulness" Li Jing hurriedly complimented.

"That's it," the second uncle made a final decision, "Tomorrow morning, Boss Zhang, you will take these materials back to the shipyard for refitting."
