"Really?" Hearing what Mary said so confidently, Zhang You couldn't help but smile and shouted loudly: "Tie Niu, go and bring my sniper rifle!" ”

Tie Niu was originally standing in a military posture, and when he heard the words, he quickly ran to Zhang You's bedroom to get a musket with a barrel up to one meter, which was not only equipped with a crosshair, but also a small telescope that could adjust the visual distance above the butt.

Although the steel used in the barrel was not refined by Bi Hongquan's method, it had been forged no less than fifty times, and it was covered with fine patterns, which were all the best materials used to make the sword, so there was no need to worry about the danger of exploding.

The charm of power is reflected here, don't look at it as a musket, if it is sold in the world, Zhang You may not be willing to sell it for five hundred taels of silver.

Because this musket is not only the special steel used in the barrel, but also the first batch of beneficiaries after the successful development of flintlock pistol technology by Gewu Institute - Xu Guangqi is indeed a genius, after hearing about the idea of flintlock pistol, he quickly found a solution: the bottom of the barrel is not blocked, but a small hole is left, and the hole is inlaid with flint, and after the gunpowder is loaded, a spark is generated by the strong impact of the steel needle, igniting the gunpowder. The power of the steel needle comes from the strong tendon.

This design is very ingenious, much simpler than the flintlock device in Zhang You's memory, although occasionally it is impossible to ignite the gunpowder at once, but compared to the traditional ignition method, it is undoubtedly a big step forward.

In addition, thanks to Zhang You's advanced soul from later generations, the bullet used in this musket is also very special, not round, but a long cylindrical shape with a diagonal stripe on the tail, which is matched by a spiral rifling inside the barrel.

Of course, the bullet is solid, but Zhang You has already told Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen about the theory of the hollow bullet, and he believes that it will not be long before these two genius firearms experts can put this theory into practice. At that time, the true meaning of postmodern firearms will be truly born.

It has been less than two months since the establishment of Gewu.

The flintlock pistol was successfully developed and was still under secrecy.

With the light of identity, when accompanying Tang Erzhuang and them to train these days, Zhang You fired no less than a thousand bullets, and his innate Taoist true qi in his dantian had recovered to nearly thirty percent of his peak period, which made his arm very stable, based on these reasons, just a few days were enough for him to grow from a novice who had never touched a musket to an excellent sharpshooter - especially with the cooperation of the telescope, when there was no wind, within two hundred meters, he could almost point anywhere.

Receiving the gun in hand, he looked around while skillfully loading gunpowder, and saw a black spot falling on the eaves in the distance, and knew from experience that it was a pigeon, so he nodded in that direction, and said, "Mary, do you see that pigeon over there?" ”

Mary tried her best to widen her good-looking blue eyes, and looked in the direction indicated by Zhang You for a long time, but she saw the black spot, but she couldn't be sure whether it was a pigeon or not, and couldn't help laughing: "The adult doesn't want to hit the black spot, right?" Honestly, at such a distance, I can't even be sure what it is. ”

Since Zhang You had been speaking English, Alfred and the other two priests also understood what he wanted to do, and the three of them looked at it with wide eyes, and their faces gradually showed disapproval.

"Honorable lord, it's not that I don't believe in your abilities, but it's too far away, right? Even if you can reach the range of this musket, it won't be easy to hit that black spot......"

Ignoring Alfred's words, the loading of ammunition was completed, Zhang You half-knelt on the ground, raised the musket, roughly aimed in the direction of the pigeon, first took a deep breath, then held his breath, closed one eye, and slowly aimed at the gray pigeon that was already clearly distinguishable through the eyepiece of the telescope, and at a certain moment, he decisively pulled the trigger.

"Smack-"

Very smoothly, the high-speed impact of the steel needle successfully ignited the gunpowder in the barrel, burning rapidly, producing a great driving force, the silver-white solid iron bullet was pushed by it, rotated and rushed out of the barrel, and crossed a distance of nearly 200 meters in an instant at an extremely high speed that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Zhang You saw very clearly, almost at the moment when he pulled the trigger, the pigeon that was originally quietly combing its feathers suddenly burst out of the chest of a cloud of blood mist, it was carried backwards by this force for a short distance, and then probably because the bullet penetrated its body, it quickly rolled down from the tile ridge, and was finally blocked by an emerald green vasson, life passed quickly, but the body was still trembling slightly.

"Hit?" Mary only saw the dark shadow suddenly disappear from sight, but she did not see the specific situation.

Alfred They were also at a loss, but they gathered around Tang Erzhuang who came to see the excitement, and they were already cheering, Bi Hongquan had the best eyesight, and even without a telescope, he could see the situation where the pigeon was hit, and praised loudly: "Good marksmanship, the ancients are afraid of wearing Yang in a hundred steps, but so, if the adult magic skill, if he goes to the battlefield, with this magic spear, the enemy general will really become what the drama says, 'If you sell Seoul with a bid!'" "It's over!"

"My lord, when will we each be equipped with one of these sniper rifles?"

"Yes, my lord, it's just you and Captain Bi, it's not fair, right?"

……

"See for yourself!" Zhang You took off the binoculars from the musket and handed them to Mary, scolding the coaxing guards with a smile: "What a fart is in a hurry? Didn't I say it earlier, after the end of January, as long as you give me the fart and urine of the Mandarin Duck Formation team sent by Qi Shuai to compete with you, I will give you one each. If you lose, where did you come from and where do you go back, I don't know you! ”

Although Zhang You still scolds these people from time to time for being a rookie, however, he also accepts Li Yan's suggestion, and occasionally encourages and encourages these people, he has money, power and ability, and he speaks very aggressively, in fact, he has a great appetite for these veteran oilers, so although he inevitably complains that he is a devil, from the bottom of his heart, everyone has long had a sense of belonging to him.

Tie Niu laughed, and said loudly while patting his chest on the mountain: "Don't worry, my lord, when the time comes, it will be the handsome soldiers who will compete with us, and I have already seen that they are not pleasing to the eye, and the grandmother who doesn't beat them doesn't know Tie Niu's surname!" ”

As soon as the words fell, someone teased: "Cut, are you such a stupid son rare adults?" ”

Annoyed and angry, the Iron Bull rushed over and fought with the man, and instead of pulling him, the others gathered in a circle, shouting for encouragement.

Mary didn't hear the excitement next to her at all, and looked at it for a long time, then reluctantly moved the binoculars away, and looked at Zhang You feverishly: "My lord, what is this magical thing?" Is it also the creation of the grid you manage? ”
