The method of changing the properties of steel through manganese did produce good results, and before making the springs, Abe of course used most of the steel pipes he had just made, which was something he had been dreaming of for a long time.

The purpose of his tossing around this circle was to create a cross-generational weapon like a musket, so that he could stand tall in the coming whirlpool of chaos and disaster.

In this era when there are no machine tools and no high-precision measuring equipment, it is indeed difficult to make a barrel with good quality and rifling inside.

But sometimes doing things is like this, I'm not afraid that you can't do it, I'm afraid that you can't think of it, as long as you work hard for your ideals, you will always achieve the desired goal.

With Abu in charge of designing, Li Baotian in charge of modeling, and Bai Boda personally in charge, Abu and the others finally tossed out a few decent steel pipes. With the accumulation of a large amount of war knowledge and the evolution of weapons in later generations, Abu did not want to produce muskets step by step, and his idea was to go directly to the era of reloading ammunition.

Abu sometimes feels like he's playing a business strategy game, and there are plenty of high-tech products to produce in his technological roadmap. If he is allowed to stay in one place quietly and develop slowly, he can make steady progress and slowly progress.

But the urgency of time didn't allow him to do so, so he felt like he was playing a real-time strategy game, to see if he could try to play the game of jumping technology.

It is better to go directly to electrification, use hydroelectric energy to generate electricity, and then make electric lights, telephones, and computers, but when it comes to actual operation, it is found that there are too many things that are missing, and it can only be done step by step, and it cannot be leapfrogged forward.

For example, if you want to make a motor, you need coils, machine tools, and insulating rubber, and these fields are basically blank. In addition, many industries are closely integrated, interdependent, interlocking, and lack of a certain link, many industries will be forced to interrupt.

So he had to play role-playing games and play it himself. For example, the design of rifling, the development of muskets, bullets, etc., must be personally involved.

In addition, he had to complete the task of test firing first, after all, no one else here had seen the power of the musket, and even had a suspicious attitude towards this gadget that Abu had tinkered with, and took a steel pipe to aim around, where there was a big slashing pleasure.

He sometimes envies the emperor Lao'er, under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister; The golden rule is a golden rule.

If you sit on the throne of the emperor to develop science and technology, it will reflect the advantages of the vast land and resources, what raw materials you want, just move your mouth, naturally someone will try to do it for him, such as if you want manganese, then go to dig manganese ore; If you want rubber, go to the rubber tree.

But for Abu, this is just a thought, one is that he has no intention of ousting the emperor from power, and he will sit on the dragon chair himself; Second, there is no such strength, and the current war often requires hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of labor support, and such a large-scale manpower mobilization can only be achieved by pouring the strength of one country.

If there is no absolutely tough strength to back it up, it will only bring heavy disasters and deaths to the people of Lebanon, which is the last thing he wants to see.

Since they are in a safe corner and have limited resources, they must be based on reality and actively find ways to solve problems.

Therefore, the development and fate of the valley is heavily dependent on commerce, and if war breaks out and trade routes are blocked, then many production lines in the valley are at risk of being choked.

For example, if the transportation of salt is interrupted, the production of soda ash and nitrogen fertilizer will be exhausted, and many other industries in the valley will be affected.

Even if you want to have a barren mountain, a safe and worry-free place to stand, you have to get it through a not-so-fair way of offering tribute, which is a little unpleasant to think about.

What he wants to do most now is to mine a large amount of manganese ore and obtain a large amount of manganese metal, which can have an immediate effect when smelting, whether it is to remove impurities or improve the flexibility of steel, and then it can produce various large-scale and precision machine tools.

As far as he knows, the largest output of manganese ore is in Guangdong, Hunan, and Hubei, not to mention Guangdong, the distance is too far; The quality of Hubei is not high, and there are many impurities, so Abu's eyes are also on Xiangtan, Hunan, which is now Hengyang County, Hengzhou, Jiangnan West Province.

In this era, due to the limited financial resources of the government, it is relatively enlightened in the management of minerals, and the official has ordered that "where all the states of the world produce copper and iron, let the people mine privately, and the government collects their taxes", that is to say, private individuals can also open mines, as long as they pay taxes as required.

But if you travel thousands of miles and want to open a mine with peace of mind in a place where you have no relatives, it is undoubtedly the safest and most secure way to get the approval of the current biggest boss in the world, the emperor. And the quickest and most effective way to curry favor with the saint is to directly please that Yang beauty.

Yang Meiren, who may be a few years younger than herself, may have become more and more pampered under the flattery of people like herself for a long time, which indirectly made her clan arrogant and domineering. And I have to use such means to achieve my own goals, which is really a bit despicable to think about.

But if you want to change the status quo and have a long-term development, you still have to do what you need to do, so after he made a few barrels, he used all the remaining manganese steel to make springs, and then designed steel rims and spokes to create a super era and super comfortable car.

In this era when women basically rely on ox carts to travel, it is estimated that Yang Meiren will be quite satisfied with such carriages. As for the decoration work of pasting gold and silver and increasing luxury, it is better for the professionals in the palace to do it, after all, they don't have so much money to throw up.

At the same time, he also used the principle of the tumbler to make a free chair, on which he could sit on it all the time if he wanted.

The gift to Chang'an City has been given, and the rest is to wait patiently, if this matter is done, it will be very convenient to open branches across the country and go to other places to open mines in the future.

On this side of the valley, the musket he took the lead in developing has also made great progress, and when he lay on the ground with the musket in his hand and aimed at a target ten paces away, many people around him still treated this problem with the attitude of watching and having fun.

After all, they had never seen such a scene, their lack of knowledge limited their imagination, and with the roar of a gunshot, the target in front of them still looked the same.

And when they ran over to check the target with a smile, the sight on the target made them all open their mouths in disbelief, and there was obviously a hole in the middle of the target made of thin iron sheets.

It's iron! Why was it so easy to get shot through, Brother Ironskin, can you make a breath!

No matter how thin it is, it is still iron, even if the powerful Wei Yong uses a high-strength bow and arrow, it is estimated that he will not be able to shoot through the iron, and Abu easily hooked his finger and directly pierced the hole, such a contrast is too great.

With the next adjustment and test firing, looking at the gradually dense bullet holes on the target, everyone gradually accepted the reality that they couldn't believe.

This is the power of technology, this is the embodiment of the power of the musket, and this is the effect that Abu wants to achieve.

The reason why he chose the iron sheet as the target is that he wants everyone to intuitively realize the power of this super era product of the hand species, after all, the iron sheet can be easily shot through, and if it hits a person, the result is obvious.

In the end, after the debugging was completed, Abu took this musket, and he could easily point and hit within a hundred steps, which was simply the magic weapon of the immortals known to everyone.

Abu said with regret that if it could be improved to a burst device in the future, the lethality would increase in stages, but now he can only honestly fire one and then press into one.

The next work is to first select some of these young students for test firing, after all, only more people have shooting skills in order to form a terrifying combat effectiveness.

After seeing or hearing the great power of the musket, the young man's enthusiastic heart boiled completely. Even some of the good seedlings who were carefully selected by the former Wei Yong and devoted themselves to practicing bows and arrows could no longer practice drawing bows and arrows with peace of mind, and came to sign up for musket test firing.
