The departure of the military craftsman surnamed Zheng did not cause any fluctuations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The remaining fifteen craftsmen are willing to stay, and they are all willing to become contract workers, and after signing the contract, their grading will also be completed within ten days, which will be examined by the Zhang Zhugong brothers, and supervised by Minister Yang and Chen Qiuao.

For the time being, there is no strict division between military and civilian departments, and they will go wherever they are needed, after all, there are not many people available at present.

All kinds of welfare housing for them were handed over to the civil affairs office for arrangement, and then Yang He had to prepare all the matters before the craftsmen started construction.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Yang He intends to implement the Xin'anzhuang standard.

It is said that first-class countries set standards, second-rate countries have mixed systems, and third-rate countries can't even squeeze into the system.

Everything is predetermined, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted, standards are very important, and everything must be planned in advance.

Therefore, Yang He plans to set a unified weights and measures in advance, and a unified standard specification of weapons, so that the spare parts of various weapons can be interchangeable in the future.

One of the reasons for the success of modern times is standardization, scale, the craftsmen of this era are engaged in their own way, there is no standard at all, this phenomenon must be eliminated in Xin'anzhuang, everything must pay attention to standards.

Some of the necessary equipment must be prepared first, such as pencils, drawings, construction rulers, triangles, compasses, protractors, etc.

These were handed over to Zhang Chugong's public building to build, and in the future, the craftsmen in Zhuangzhong used these tools in a unified manner, and they were not allowed to be large or small, and the calculation was chaotic.

These instruments are not very technical and are easy to make, except for the pencil which is slightly more difficult.

In ancient China, there were also pencils, and when Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, there were records of Cao Bao's bed with pencils, and he recited books, but the "pencil" at this time was really a pencil, a core, and there was no wooden shell outside.

What Yang He wants is a pencil shaft similar to that of later generations.

It is not difficult to process a large number of wooden pen barrels, and the Zhang Chugong brothers have a machine for making arrow stalks, with a rotary knife inside and a handle outside, put a wooden strip into it, shake the handle, and an arrow stalk is born.

Under the modification of such an instrument, a large number of standardized thin strips can be processed, and then a groove can be dug in the middle of the thin strips that is just suitable for the pencil lead.

Then there is the pencil lead, in fact, it should be a graphite pencil stick, at this time it is called black lead, regardless of the East and the West, graphite is used to write and paint early, but the graphite strip is easy to get dirty hands, and it is easy to break, this is the dilemma of the pencil at this time.

Yang He directly applied the pencil lead formula of later generations, using a certain amount of clay and clay, and then mixing graphite to heat, and the pencil lead produced was solid and wear-resistant.

Finally, the pencil lead is put into the pen shaft slot, and the two wooden strips are tightened and glued, and the pencil shaft comes out.

In the future, this kind of pencil will become a sharp weapon in the hands of craftsmen, and will make great contributions to the standardization of Xin'anzhuang.

Pencil shaft instruments, pencil lead formulas are kept well, and there will definitely be a large number of copycats in the future, but if you want to buy an authentic Xin'an pen, you still have to go to Xin'anzhuang.

Brother Zhang Zhugong had long been convinced of Yang Xianggong's ability, and immediately went to do it vigorously.

……

Three days later.

Quartermaster's Station.

Yang He painted something on a large wooden board, he held a triangle board in one hand, and a pencil in the other, but it was a pencil sample processed by hand.

"I am a new Anjun, a total of these parts, the standard of each piece in the future is like this, if there is an error, it should be remembered by the slightest detail."

Pointing to the standards, sizes, and shapes of the parts of each firearm, Yang He said loudly.

Zhang Chugong brothers stood below him, as well as Yu Blacksmith, Li Blacksmith, and Li Tiannan, all of whom had signed contracts, and they were still the ones with the highest level of secrecy, and they couldn't even go out of the village.

Although they have not yet been graded, in Yang He's heart, they are all senior technicians, and in order to show trust and encouragement, they can all participate in this kind of confidant work at this time.

Several craftsmen watched, the three Zhang Zhugong brothers were fine, knowing Yang He's ability, Li Tiannan, Yu Blacksmith and others all showed surprise on their faces, they all knew that Yang Xianggong was able to write and martial arts, and he didn't want to be a skilled craftsman, he was really a rare genius in the world.

When they heard this kind of cartographic ability and this kind of understanding of firearms, they all felt ashamed of themselves.

Although Blacksmith Yu and Blacksmith Li were excited, they were old and cautious and did not speak, while Li Tiannan was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

He was itchy to see it, and said in his Cantonese accent: "Xianggong's painting seems to be a rear-loading gun like a thunderbolt. ”

Yang He thought to himself that Li Tiannan really knew a lot, and he had come into contact with it like a thunderbolt.

He smiled and said, "Yes, fighting at fifty paces, it is better to fight far and fiercely, than to fight fast." ”

Yang He decided to make a large-scale attack on the new anquebus, a breech-loading arquebus.

According to his estimates, after refining gunpowder, Xin'an Gun can break armor in about 70 steps, but in order to improve the hit rate, it is still necessary to put it at a distance of 50 paces, and the closer it is, the higher the accuracy.

Therefore, it is enough to have this breech-loading arquebus, after all, if it misses, it is meaningless to have a range of 1,000 meters.

This is also the reason why Yang He is a traverser, and he keenly judged what kind of firearm is the best and applicable, that is, breech arquebus and breech flintlock pistol!

Looking at the east and west, there is a fallacy at this time, that is, the firearm desperately pursues a long range and high firepower.

Indeed, if the weapons are well-armed, arquebuses, bird guns, and flintlock pistols can kill people at a distance of two or three hundred meters, which refers to a person without armor.

However, because of the smoothbore gun, the accuracy is extremely poor, and the hit rate is very low, but it can only be put close to fight and go to a distance of several tens of meters to fight.

In the east it is about fifty paces, seventy-five meters, in the west it is generally fifty yards, less than fifty meters, and the British are even more crazy, eighteen meters.

This makes it meaningless to shoot a smoothbore gun at a distance of 500 meters, no matter how long the range and firepower is, because 300 meters can kill people, and it is still necessary to go to a distance of 50 meters to fight.

At this time, the range and power of the breech gun were of course not as good as the breech gun, but at a distance of fifty meters, it was the breech gun of this era, and with very poor hemp straw ash gunpowder, it could penetrate all armor, whether it was plate armor or the triple armor of the Qing army, and the rate of fire was many times higher.

The breech gun technology of this era is not more complex than the breech gun, in fact, the silk rotation behind the bird gun is more technical.

So what's the reason not to use breech guns?

Even if the breech gun leaks, it is a battle at a distance of tens of meters anyway, so what does it matter if it leaks some air?

Even if the breech gun is weaker, but when it runs to a distance of fifty meters, what is the difference in the power of the breech breech?

In particular, the advantage of breech guns at a distance of several tens of meters is too obvious, and in the same time, breech guns may only be able to hit three rows of guns, and breech guns can fight fifteen formations.

Every five or ten paces were fired in a row of guns, and no army in the East and West could withstand it.

It would be a massacre, killing more than half of the enemy within a few tens of meters, and crushing them in one fell swoop.

In fact, Yang He also knows the reason for the psychology of the East and the West, the quality of a soldier, and the psychology of wanting to stop the enemy as far away as possible.

It's just that the idea is very good, and if you can't hit the target, it's in vain, and you still have to see the truth within a few dozen meters.

Li Tiannan touched his head, over there in Foshan, all craftsmen made birds, and the guests' requirements were also far and accurate, even the red-haired ghosts were no exception.

It's just that it's far away, but it's hard to say the accuracy, and the craftsmen test the shot, of course, they can hit far and accurately.

It's just that they eat this bowl of rice, and they have been working hard all year round, and the guests shoot by themselves, so it's not necessarily.

However, in his young heart, isn't it better to fight as far as possible with firearms?

He has been in Foshan for a long time, and he has also heard that the horse team of Biansai Hulu is like a storm, and he is afraid to see it from afar, and the officers and soldiers are desperately fighting in one or two miles, and if they really start fighting at close range, can the soldiers endure it?

But think about Pizhou, which is located in Huai'an Mansion, far away from Tartar, Yang Xianggong said what to do, just do it.

They discussed it carefully and finalized the size.

"The aperture of the three-coin lead bullet is sufficient, and the birds that can be hole-in-the-armor in a hundred steps are all used in the three-coin bullet."

"The copper bolt can be the same as the diameter of the chamber, and it should be inserted into the chamber, the seam should be tight, and then the five wires should be carefully grinded off."

"The Yin-Yang Machine is ...... here"

Zhang Chuxun, Yu Blacksmith, Li Blacksmith, Li Tiannan and others will also participate in the making of the pipe, but in Yang He's plan, they will be more responsible for the making of key parts such as copper bolts and yin-yang machines, as well as perforation and drilling.

After all, it is a breech gun, and the gun tube does not need to be very long, so there is no need to use a high-tech splicing method, but it is directly rolled with a wrought iron plate, and the technology required to make the gun tube plummets.

As long as the standards are strict and the materials are sufficient, Zhang Chugong, Zhang Chuxun, Yu Youtie, the son of Yu blacksmith, and the exiled blacksmith Niu Jin Ingot and others all have this ability.

The caliber of Yanghe Xin'an gun is set at 12 millimeters, and the buckshot weighs 3 coins, about 12 grams.

With this caliber size, the weight of the lead bullet is enough, even if the Qing army is wearing triple armor and a distance of fifty paces, it will all be opened.

In the end, everyone finalized the size and specifications of Xin'an Gong and how each component was.

Looking at the pattern on the wooden board, Yang He was a little fascinated, and in the future, the breech gun Xin'an gun will continue to be produced according to this standard.

The only regret is that this new anquebus is still an arquebus.

Yang He also wanted to change to a flintlock pistol, but it was ......

Compared with the arquebus, the most difficult thing about the flintlock pistol is not the technology, to be honest, the technology of the flintlock pistol is also very simple, and the various parts are not difficult to make.

The most difficult thing is in the material, without good steel for spring sheets, it is impossible to have a flintlock pistol with a high firing rate, it is better to use an arquebus.

At present, Yang He has 200 catties of sugang in storage, and he has a plan to use every catty and tael of these sugang steels.

After all, this steel is too expensive and too scarce.

Wang Qiong'e is related, and sold some of it to Yang He, but it costs six taels and six dollars of silver for a catty.

This price was placed in the Taiping and prosperous era, and if it is calculated in terms of the price of rice, it is compared with the renminbi in later generations.

That is to say, at this time, the price of one pound of Suzhou steel is more than 3,000 yuan.

This is an astonishing number, and it does not mean that you can buy a large amount of silver, Yang He got the news from Wang Qiong'e, and the peers in Suzhou discussed that there is a limit on the output, in order to maintain high profits, and the milk is poured into the river in later generations.

He bought two hundred catties of Sugang, and the next time there is a stock, I don't know when it will be, and he really uses a little less.

It is also only with this steel that the flintlock hammer flint can hit the fire.

However, there are too many places where Yang He wants to use Sugang, but it is impossible to use it on flintlock pistols.

……

Finally, there is a problem to be solved, which is to drill the barrel.

Many craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty use fallen steel, a kind of low-carbon steel, in order to avoid damage to the drill bit, the drill stops, and a barrel has to be drilled for a month.

The Zhang Zhugong brothers once had a drill bit made of Suzhou steel, so the firearms were made quickly and well.

However, they also have limitations, the cycad bit will still heat up when drilling, and they use a damp cloth to cool down.

This will still damage the barrel and drill bit, and Yang He has a better way to use cooling oil.

However, there is no corresponding professional oil juice, and vegetable oil is used temporarily.

But even so, with the Suzhou steel drill bit and the vegetable oil cooling, the time required for the drill bore is directly shortened to one day.

Zhang Zhugong brothers' drill bit is defective, diamond-shaped structure, so the scrap rate is still very high, carelessly, the barrel will be drilled when the hole is deep processed.

The solution is very simple, and Yang He doesn't need to hide it now.

Under the expectant and excited eyes of several craftsmen, he slowly drew on the board.

……

Old White Bull: Thank you for the reward of the alliance leader of Fa Aidong Book Friends, now it seems that only the reward of the alliance leader has a system announcement, and then it can be refined and displayed on the mobile phone.

The next chapter is estimated to be in the evening. Looking back for bug book friends, according to the information I checked, and asked the locals, Huaibei was like this, it used to be like this, blacksmiths can only sit on the table without washing their faces and hands, and they don't have this status after washing their hands and faces. (To be continued.) )
