080 It's not that hard
The story is not good, Li Mu is not sure, Li Mu can be sure that his name will not appear in any official records about the little fat man, for the little fat man, the name Li Mu is a nightmare. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"When I was in the palace, there were a lot of secrets about the emperor, and many people said that the emperor had Hualiu disease, if the emperor had this disease, then the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards in the palace-" Chu Xue didn't dare to say anything here, her expression was very frightened, and her body was trembling.
It's really hard to say, about the cause of the death of Emperor Tongzhi, there are different opinions about the history of barnyard officials, and the truth is confusing. But one thing is certain, if Emperor Tongzhi really died of syphilis, tsk, then it is really hard to say how many of the seventy-two concubines in the palace in the three palaces and six courtyards will be spared.
Emperor Tongzhi has no children, so he probably won't use condoms.
There are no condoms in these days, no, yes, the royal physician of King Charles II of England invented the condom in the 17th century, which is made from the cecum of the lamb, tsk - lamb - tsk - cecum - Charles II's royal doctor seems to have exposed a secret of the British royal family, not that white people are strong, so why not the large intestine of the camel.
"There's something I want to discuss with you, you see that I've offended the little fat man now, and the little fat man in the United States can't do anything about me, but if I go back to our Daqing, then it is estimated that I will be Ling Chi when I get off the boat, so I don't want to go back." Li Mu explained his plan to Chu Xue and revealed his heart for the first time.
"Brother Mu, I'll go wherever you go, if you are - what then, I will accompany you - " Chu Xue picked up quickly, without the slightest hesitation, but when he said "Ling Chi", his big eyes were immediately filled with tears, it was amazing, the sentence that women are made of water is not false at all.
"Okay, but if you want to accompany me, then you have to learn to ride a horse well, and you have to learn hard, or you can't keep up." Li Mu is basically desperate for the technology of horseback riding, but fortunately, there is still Chu Xue to bully, this girl is estimated to be not much stronger than Li Mu.
"Okay, I'll start learning tomorrow." Chu Xue pursed her lips and smiled, and Li Mu immediately began to worry again.
This girl - not right now!
In the blink of an eye, Li Mu decided that if Chu Xue dared to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, then Li Mu must serve in the family law.
Uh-huh, it's good to spank it.
Early the next morning, Li Mu took Yan Hu and Yan Shun out on horseback as usual to go out for a spin, and while practicing riding, he also found a place where he would not make noise and practice shooting with a rifle.
There are many such places, leaving Riverside Town along the Connecticut River all the way to the north, less than two kilometers, there is a small peninsula surrounded by water on three sides, here is far enough away from Riverside Town, not to mention shooting, even if it is a cannon, the people of Riverside Town may not be able to hear, the key is that there is no one on the peninsula, do not worry about accidental injury, and will not disturb the people.
Li Mu discovered this place after returning from Boston, and after confirming to Will that it was Borderland, Li Mu made some changes to the peninsula.
In fact, it is not too complicated, it is to clean up the wild grass on the peninsula, put up a few targets in front of a dirt slope, ensure that stray bullets do not fly out, and then even if the renovation is completed, there will not be even a single building.
This peninsula is now equivalent to Li Mu's private space, and when he arrived here, Li Mu's mood was completely relaxed, and he took down the gun pouch from the side of the Wu Xiao saddle and let Wu Xiao play by himself, and Li Mu began to practice his daily routine.
Li Mu set a standard of 10 ammunition supply tubes per day.
I have to say that people in the nineteenth century were still very smart, although there were no magazines in these years, but there were barrels to use, and the effect was actually similar to magazines.
Winchester's thirteen-round ammunition supply tube is under the barrel, the thickness and length of the ammunition supply barrel are about the same as the barrel, the mystery of this lever gun is on the trigger retainer, every time a bullet is fired, as long as the retainer is pushed outward, it will automatically complete a full set of actions such as unlocking, shelling, shelling, refeeding, locking, etc., so that the firing speed is greatly improved.
The Winchester cartridge purchased by Li Mu can be quickly disassembled, that is, after the bullet in the cartridge is shot, there is no need to reload, the cartridge can be directly replaced, and then a cartridge that has been loaded is reloaded, which greatly increases the firepower of Winchester.
When Li Mu bought a gun, he equipped each rifle with ten supply tubes, and Li Mu's daily task was to finish the bullets in the ten supply tubes.
After these days of practice, Li Mu and the others have become proficient in using rifles, and even if there is a malfunction, they can quickly eliminate it.
The smoke was still a bit heavy when the three rifles were fired continuously, and after each feeding tube had to rest, wait for the smoke to clear and start again.
This is still in the wild, and if it is indoors, it will be even worse.
Yan Hu was more unlucky today, the first ammunition supply tube was just halfway shot, and the bullet jammed.
This is a major criticism of the lever gun, because the structure is complex, there are often failures, and the lever gun fires by the power of the lever to the top, and can only fire low-power bullets, so after the emergence of the magazine rifle that can fire long bullets, the lever rifle will gradually be eliminated.
"This cigarette is really too big, and it often has problems, it doesn't work well, it's not good-" Yan Hu squatted on the ground to quickly troubleshoot, and his mouth was still chattering.
Just know to find faults, and start picking on the weapons in your hands, which means that you are already on the road.
"Bear with me, just wait for the research of smokeless gunpowder to come out, the Institute of Science and Technology has already started research, and it is estimated that it will not be long before there will be results." Li Mu quickly finished firing the bullets in the cartridge, took a few steps back to avoid the smoke, and replaced it with a new cartridge.
In fact, under the premise that smokeless gunpowder has appeared, it is not difficult to make smokeless gunpowder stable, this is a problem of concept, many people do not study because they are not sure whether they can succeed, and there is no profit driven, people who often play with guns will not do experiments, and people who often stay in the laboratory do not have many opportunities to use guns, which is the so-called "disconnection between production, education and research", as long as you change your concept, it is easy to get results.
Runkel and Lucius attach great importance to this cooperation, after Li Mu's funds are in place, the Institute of Technology immediately began to research, in fact, the current smokeless powder is unstable nitrocellulose, want to make nitrocellulose stable, to dissolve nitrocellulose in ether and alcohol, and then add an appropriate amount of stabilizer to become a gel, and then carry out a series of drying and hardening treatment, unstable nitrocellulose will become stable smokeless gunpowder.
Li Mu really didn't know about this process, but judging from the above steps, it was really not that difficult.
