The primer of the bullet is very easy to make, but if it had been placed in the past, it may have been extremely difficult.

But with the large number of steam engines in military industrial units, everything has become much easier.

A device similar to a forging pattern, only need to install the aligned grinding tools in the upper and lower parts, and adjust the speed at the same time, and a rudimentary version of the forging press appears.

Well, because the technology is not up to par, it is impossible to control the speed more directly, so the scientific research institute has adopted an older method.

Increasing the counterweight consumes a lot of power from the steam engine, so that it is always in a state where it can work normally, but only slowly.

However, it is naturally a great waste to increase the counterweight alone, although a large number of machines have been invested in military industrial units, but it is not unlimited, and the current situation does not allow them to waste these productive forces.

Therefore, we can only find a way to improve the abrasive, and we can only rely on increasing the size of the mold to increase the counterweight.

As a direct result of this, every time the forging press worked, more than 1,200 primer caps were transformed from a piece of brass iron into a finished product.

It's amazing, it's efficient, it's scary.

So much so that the bullet factory, which was originally going to make three such machines, ended up making only one, and even then, this machine was not started every day.

At the same time, in order to avoid wasting productivity, it is natural to adopt the general method of other workshops, to produce a day's primer cap, and then remove the abrasive tools and replace them with other ones to continue production, and wait for the primer cap to be replaced for a day.

As for the cartridge case, the same stamping technology is used, the principle is simpler, first make it into a copper tube, and use the pressure of the upper and lower grinding tools to directly stamping and forming, as for the quality, the test has proved that the effect is not bad.

Of course, due to the black powder, although the power has increased a lot after several improvements, the effective killing distance of the final bullet is only less than 300 meters, and as for the maximum range, the devil knows.

The distance that can shoot accurately is about 200 meters, and 200 meters away, it is basically half a dozen and half blind.

But even so, this effect still made Li Yuanji excited.

The 1,000-strong forbidden army set off two months late, and within these two months, they were equipped with new rifles, fortunately, the tactics had already been learned, and there was no problem, the only thing that needed to be done was to adapt to the new equipment.

"Lieutenant Colonel, this is your equipment?" Glancing at the epaulettes on the other party's shoulders, Wang Xuance curiously probed the sticks that the soldiers were carrying behind their backs, which were not as tall as people and had no blades, so how could they not feel that this was like a weapon.

Of course, Wang Xuance is not in Chang'an all the year round, and it is normal not to know that muskets.

But when he returned to Chang'an this time, he made up for the military rank system, and during the half-year preparation period, the expeditionary force also had to complete the replacement of military ranks.

And this is also very simple, soldiers are awarded according to their military age, and officers are awarded the corresponding military rank according to their position.

As for Wang Xuance, in principle, he does not belong to the military, but this time the emperor personally ordered the general, which was very reasonable in the past.

But under the current system, this method is somewhat unreasonable.

So at this time, Wang Xuance also wore a military uniform, divided into two pieces, the color is the kind of Tubula, and as for the shoulders, there are a pair of pure black epaulettes with no logo on them.

This is a new military rank launched by Li Yuanji, which is somewhat unreliable, or it can be said that it is a military rank launched separately for Wang Xuance.

However, this rank has two colors, black for commander-in-chief, white for the highest staff officer, and two colors for the two highest-ranking commanders of the system, but this is temporary.

In order to gag everyone's mouths, Li Yuanji announced that it was only this once, because there was no suitable candidate.

In other words, when Wang Xuance took off this pair of epaulettes, this kind of epaulettes became history.

Of course, Li Yuanji didn't think that future generations would follow suit, but this was also a helpless thing, let Wang Xuance join the army, and his qualifications were not enough to serve as a general, so in order to avoid upsetting the balance, he could only do so.

"Yes, General!" Liu Li responded in a neat manner, outsiders don't know, but he knows the power of this new equipment very well.

Wang Xuance frowned slightly, the forbidden army sent by Li Yuanji naturally would not be soy sauce.

But he didn't know anything about this forbidden army, and before that, he didn't even know their equipment.

And these sticks you see in front of you can really go into battle to kill the enemy?

How to kill?

Smash each other to death?

If you can smash it, how can there be a spear that is suitable? This length is not as tall as anyone else, and even when fighting against the horizontal sword, there may not be a chance of victory.

"Lieutenant Colonel, can you show me how you fought?" Wang Xuance asked subconsciously, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was a little inappropriate, and then added: "You know, as a commander, I must know the characteristics of each unit well, otherwise, I don't know when and what kind of troops to send, and if I can't do this, I can't avoid some unnecessary casualties, I hope the lieutenant colonel can understand." ”

"Yes, but it needs space." Liu Li nodded, there was nothing to hide, otherwise, they wouldn't have come here.

"Okay, let's go to the Marine Corps grounds! General Su, you go and arrange it. Wang Xuance nodded, first, curious, and second, this is necessary to understand.

After a short period of effort, a thousand forbidden troops and a hundred and ten officers of the expeditionary force came to the training ground of the Marine Corps, and even some sailors and soldiers who had no training tasks also put on a posture of onlookers nearby.

After all, it was the forbidden army that came, and they were also very curious, how awesome is this legendary forbidden army? Is it as brave and invincible as the legend says.

However, after seeing the arrangements on the exercise ground, Liu Li frowned tightly.

Because he found that the so-called arrangement was not to provide a field, but to arrange a thousand marines as opponents on the opposite side.

This kind of drill is carried out frequently, and there are a large number of carpenters in the shipyard, so at this time, the soldiers on the opposite side have already replaced the weapons in their hands with wooden horizontal knives and spears without spear heads, although they will still hurt when hit on the body, but as long as they are not vital parts, they will not be fatal.

Moreover, this kind of exercise that simulates the real battlefield is also very effective for the improvement of the troops, and the entire Datang military camps are training in this way.

However, this method will not work for the forbidden army.

Not long after the bullet was made, let alone the so-called drill bomb.

"General, our equipment is a little special, so when we practice, we don't need to arrange opponents." Liu Li strode directly to the position of the officer observation group and found Wang Xuance to report.

"Don't need an opponent?" Wang Xuance frowned, he didn't arrange an opponent, and he still practiced a fart? Do you watch you fight the air?

"Yes, the general just needs to provide us with some planks and give us a cup of tea." Liu Li said that this is the way they often use when they train in Chang'an.

It's very wooden, but there's no way, you can't use a living person as a target, right? This round of attacks continued, and the other side died before they could get close.

"Give it to him!" Wang Xuance was a little unhappy in his heart, but after all, it was a forbidden army, so he waved his hand after all, he wanted to see what tricks Liu Li was playing.

Soon, the entire training ground was busy, and the 1,000 people who had previously been opponents were also caught and labored.

The movements are very neat, but the officer observation group is even more incomprehensible, the width of the plank is about one person wide, but the height is not as high as one person, at most it is to the shoulder, and even some planks are only half a person high, or a person lying on the ground as high as a height, in addition, there are more than a dozen sandbags piled up to cover it.

"General, this forbidden army is too proud, isn't it?" Looking at the movement below, someone was extremely dissatisfied.

They have been here for a few years, and they have already memorized all kinds of training, and the forbidden army has just arrived, just to let them demonstrate, but they didn't expect them to come up with something they can't understand.

Not only can I not understand it, but I can see that no one here can understand it by looking at the people around me who nodded and agreed.

The kung fu of a cup of tea was fleeting, and the forbidden army retreated to its original position, about five hundred meters away from the places that had been changed before, and the opponent who had been arranged had retreated to the side, and those messy things that had been arranged seemed to be their opponents, and behind the opponent, there was no one.

Liu Li and the lieutenant colonel opposite walked towards the observation group together, although they did not explain, but at this time everyone understood that Liu Li was planning to be a commentator.

"General, the field has been arranged, those tallest planks are the posture of the simulator standing, considering that the head is narrower than the body, and there is not enough time, so only the shoulder part is done, the middle ones are the posture of the simulator squatting, and the lowest is the posture of the simulator lying on the ground, the end of the bunker will not be explained, you all know its use. Lieutenant Colonel Sun had already checked the planks before, and there were no gaps, so I wonder if the general needs to check them? Liu Li explained the reason for the arrangement, and asked if it needed to be checked.

Wang Xuance looked at Lieutenant Colonel Liu, saw that the other party nodded, and confirmed that what Liu Li said was true, so he didn't have the heart to check, and waved his hand directly: "No need, let's start directly!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Li answered, then turned around and waved his hand at the already ready troops, signaling that they could start.

The posture of the forbidden army at the moment is a marching array, that is, that kind of dense array, with people separated by about one meter in front and behind, and less than twenty centimeters between the left and right.

On the other side, there are enemy forces that have completely dispersed their formations.

After receiving the order, the forbidden army, which had originally maintained the marching array, suddenly moved......
