"Tuk-tuk."

As soon as an apprentice knocked on the door, a rough roar came from the room: "How many times do you want the old man to say it?" Don't be noisy, don't be noisy! you again! ”

The young apprentice's face was like earth, and he looked back with trepidation.

Zhao Lie smiled dumbly, this "boom" is very mysterious, it seems that there has been a breakthrough. Motioning to the apprentice to get out of the way, he knocked his fingers a few times: "Master Guo, let me see how your things are?" ”

There was a sudden silence in the room, and the door suddenly slammed open, revealing a surprise face with unkempt hair and gray beard: "Zhao Dutong, you are here!" Great, come on, come on. This person couldn't help but say, grabbed Zhao Lie's sleeve and walked into the house.

Zhao Lie looked back and motioned for Ding Xiaoqi to wait outside the house with the young guards, and followed the old man into the house.

This seemingly ordinary old craftsman is Guo Chenggui, the young military supervisor of the inner court craftsmen such as the Horse Chopping Bureau, the Saddle Office, the Imperial Front Work Office and the Ordnance Manufacturing Office, and all the craftsmen are called "master craftsmen" but not names. It goes without saying that he can squeeze himself from the sixth-grade official rank as a craftsman, and his skills are exquisite.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Shenzong set up an ordnance supervisor to manage the production of ordnance in the prefectures of Jingshi, and gathered the best craftsmen from all over the country to improve weapons. In the Southern Song Dynasty, it was continued to carry forward, in addition to the East Workshop, Wanquan Workshop, and added the Armor Institute, the Imperial Front Weapons Institute, the Arsenal Manufacturing Institute and the Capital Workshop. The service objects of the Jingshi Weapons Workshop are divided into the inner court (imperial front) and the outer court (imperial court). Among them, the Horse Chopping Bureau, the Saddle Office, the Imperial Front Work Office and the "Ordnance Manufacturing Office" under the Imperial Ying Feng Office in the Southern Song Dynasty all belonged to the Inner Court, so the skills of the craftsmen of the Inner Court were far more exquisite than those of the Outer Court.

Guo Dajiang leads the inner court hundred craftsmen with technology, and is the top master of this era. However, at this moment, like a primary school student, this master picked up a book and approached Zhao Lie to ask for advice.

It stands to reason that Zhao Lie, a crappy craftsman, is not qualified to guide a top craftsman like Guo Dajiang, except for this one. Because the book that Guo Dajiang brought was the notebook of the gun-making and bullet-making process left by the black gun gang.

Guo Dajiang is literate, but he can't recognize the words in the notebook. Don't talk about him, even Wen Tianxiang, who was born as the champion of the dynasty, can't recognize him.

Because what is recorded in the book is simplified.

Zhao Liehanxiao took the book and looked at it, it was actually the content of making a five-four pistol, and the last time Guo Dajiang asked him to "translate" the content of making a shotgun. Could it be ......

Seeing the look on Zhao Lie's face, Guo Dajiang smiled proudly, turned around and entered the inner room, and after a while, walked out with a double-barreled shotgun in his hand.

Unlike flintlock pistols, Zhao Lie's breech guns are very scarce, and there are more than 30 people in his junior escort team, and only ten of them are equipped with firearms, which is equivalent to three people sharing a gun. Zhao Lie knew very well about the use of each gun, and even knew how many double-barreled shotguns there were at the moment, and which people were in their hands. He was 100% sure that no one would hand over the double-barreled shotgun in his hand to Master Guo. And the double-barreled shotgun that was used as a reference for Guo Dajiang last time has already been put back. Therefore, the double-barreled shotgun in Guo Dajiang's hand can only be ......

Guo Dajiang stretched out his hand to Zhao Lie: "Ammunition." ”

Guo Dajiang can make guns, but he has not yet been able to make bullets, because he has not yet learned the content of that chapter......

Zhao Lie was excited, and asked the grasshopper to bring two shotguns and hand them to Guo Dajiang.

Guo Dajiang folded off the barrel, clicked into the shotgun, straightened the barrel, and directly aimed the muzzle of the gun at the door.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, the door trembled violently, and more than ten thin rays of light penetrated into the room, adding a little brightness to the dim room.

There was a commotion outside the door, and then there was a bang, the door was kicked open, Zhang Junbao rushed in first, holding a five-four pistol in both hands, aiming left and right, and immediately pointed the muzzle at Guo Dajiang. Behind him, Black Pill, Grasshopper, Han Tiehu and others rushed in, and Ding Xiaoqi couldn't squeeze in even if he squeezed in the back.

Zhao Lie hurriedly stopped in front of Guo Dajiang, made a forbidden gesture, and shouted: "Zhang Junbao, put down the gun!" ”

Zhang Junbao hurriedly raised the muzzle of the gun and released his fingers from the board machine.

Zhao Lie waved his hand again and again: "It's nothing, Master Guo is just testing the gun." ”

Test the gun?!

The young team members all heard the information of this sentence, and then looked at the black double-barreled shotgun in Guo Dajiang's hand, where they still didn't understand, and retired happily one by one.

Guo Dajiang confessed repeatedly, but Zhao Liehun didn't care, took the double-barreled shotgun, and looked at it carefully. Judging from the appearance, this breech gun, which was manufactured for the first time under ancient conditions, is no different from the imitation made by the black gun gang in terms of size, caliber, weight, and shape. The shotgun was disassembled and inspected to see that the parts were all fully compliant with the standards. Except for the base steel pipe and steel for the barrel and bolt assembly, the rest of the body is made of hardwood.

Zhao Lie noticed that a circular number was printed on the tail of the butt: One.

This "one" means that this is the first breech gun. Although numerical numbering is also used, the flintlock pistol's imprint is oval, while the breech gun's imprint is circular to distinguish it.

Guo Dajiang rubbed his hands and explained: "Among the four sample guns provided by Dutong, this double-barreled shotgun has the simplest structure, so let's start with this gun. Even so, the delicacy and complexity of this vessel have not been seen for many years by the old Han people. Fortunately, I had the experience of manufacturing breech guns before, and I pondered it slowly, and after many tests, I finally lived up to the trust of the commanders...... It's just that the previous test produced several scrap products, and it cost a few ingots of stainless steel - this is a better gold steel than iron iron. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

In the end, Guo Dajiang looked heartbroken. It's no wonder that he is like this, he has never seen such a superb steel in his ordnance prison for most of his life. In the minds of the Song people, the best steel is iron. Guo Dajiang has been testing for so long, and he knows the performance of the steel pipe steel in the base no better, and the best iron in the Great Song Dynasty palace is also quite inferior in toughness and hardness. What puzzled him especially was how the natural and seamless steel pipe was made?

Guo Dajiang also asked Zhao Lie, but Zhao Hunt's words silenced him like a cicada, and he didn't dare to ask more.

"This is a godsend, and it is beyond the power of man." Zhao Lie said.

Well, he's telling the truth, but it's just that he listens to the ears of Master Guo.

"A master craftsman is a master craftsman." Zhao Hunting finished the acceptance and put the shotgun on his back with satisfaction.

Guo Dajiang hurriedly stopped: "Zhao Dutong, don't take the gun with you first, I have to leave this gun as a model, and let my few apprentices who are not successful work together." Although Zhao Dutong can rest assured, what you see today is one gun, and in time, you can see ten or even a hundred guns. ”

Zhao Lie shook his head and smiled, he was too anxious, and handed the shotgun back to Guo Dajiang: "I still need a pistol......"

"I was about to ask the Metropolitan Commander, this pistol is more difficult to make than a shotgun." Guo Dajiang gently rubbed the double-barreled shotgun, his expression was like his own child, and he thought about it and said, "Also, you need a physical reference for the pistol." ”

"Okay, let's work together." Zhao Lie pulled out the revolver, withdrew the bullet, and handed it to Guo Dajiang, "The structure of the revolver bolt is simpler than the May Fourth pistol, so let's start with it." A master craftsman can make a double-barreled shotgun, and with a little research, this revolver will not be a problem. ”

Looking at the old craftsman seriously and attentively studying every part of the pistol on the table, that kind of enthusiasm and dedication, Zhao Lie sighed with emotion. We really can't underestimate the ancient craftsmen, what they lack is only knowledge and tools, as long as they make up for what they lack, even if it is a pair of rough hands more than 700 years ago, they can also make epoch-making modern weapons. In this regard, he is better than any modern man like him. Professional things can only be done by professionals.

After sighing, he was even more excited, now that a sample of a double-barreled shotgun has been created, it can be mass-produced next, at least his Junior Escort weapons have been settled.

With a double-barreled shotgun, will the pistol be far away? In time, all the steel, copper ingots, and materials stored in the military industrial base will be converted into weapons and ammunition and equipped with troops, what a terrible army it will be.

From the day he discovered the military industrial base, Zhao Lie had always imagined that there was such an army equipped with epoch-making weapons under his command.

This day is finally coming.
