After putting forward a few new improvement proposals, before leaving, Zhu Zilong explained again.

"By the way, when you make a three-eyed firearm, be sure to add an extra layer of iron to the outside of the barrel. In order to make the appearance of the assault gun, not so pretty. So, when someone asks about it later. It is also impossible to say that it is a hundred refined steel inside. ”

Liu Gangshan and the others nodded thoughtfully, and the people on the side were all their own people brought over by Zhu Zilong. Don't be afraid of someone talking nonsense!

The advantage of Zhu Zilong doing this is that he can let these guns wait until one day when they are available. For a long time now, it can make people from the outside world think that his firearms are not much different from those in the hands of other Great Song soldiers.

Of course, it's just that you can deceive for as long as you can, and you don't think you can deceive people for a lifetime.

However, as long as the firearm fires a few more shots, the barrel of the gun will quickly be obscured by the black substance in the deposition under the smoke of gunpowder. If there is another layer of black iron sheet on the outside. It's just that the people who use guns don't say it themselves, basically no one will think that the gun in your hand will be made of 100 refined steel. If you can avoid some trouble, just avoid some!

If it is known to everyone who has been working everywhere since the beginning, this new gun is made of refined steel. I'm afraid it's really going to be done, and it's funny to have a thousand days of anti-thief.

……

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed, and new firearms and guns were baked again.

The most difficult part of a firearm like this to build in ancient times was the barrel. Take Zhu Zilong's invention in advance in the Song Dynasty in advance, the Ming Dynasty's copycat bird gun as an example. In "Heavenly Creation", it is said:

"Where the hammer bird is hammered, first take the iron straight as a big basket as the cold bone, and wrap it in a red iron hammer. The first is three connections, the interface is red, and it is trying its best to collide. After the combination, the quadrangular steel cone is used as a big one, and it is rotated through it to make the aurora clean, and there is no blockage in the medicine. ”

The process of making the bird gun is extremely complex, requiring the craftsmen to make the gun to be extremely skilled, and the manufacturing method is similar to that in China and Japan, mainly two methods: three-stage joint type and double-layer composite type.

The three-stage articulation is the kind mentioned in "Heavenly Creation". The method is to make the gun pipe first, and the gun pipe is made of wrought iron section by section, generally two or three sections, and finally welded into one.

The double-layer composite type was first seen in Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao" "Hand and Foot Chapter": "The price of the bird gun is often smelted iron, and the two are encompassing. ”

This process, contrary to the previous one, is to make a thin layer of the gun directly on a long steel core, and then cover another layer of the gun body to make it meet the required thickness.

However, this was only discovered during the Ming Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, if no one had the inspiration to invent these, the cost of building them would only go up to a higher level.

It can be said that 90% of the time is spent on handling the barrel and building the barrel and repairing the barrel. However, this most time-consuming process, now in Zhu Zilong's place, has been solved.

Because, he directly has a large number of modern seamless steel pipes obtained from the lottery in the main god system to make ready-made materials.

With ready-made seamless modern steel pipes, the craftsmen save a lot of time. In addition, there are more than 100 craftsmen in this group, and they are working overtime to produce. As long as they are given time, for example, in a month or so, they can definitely create hundreds or nearly thousand, qualified assault rifle birds!

What limits their output is only the amount of materials that Zhu Zilong can provide, and how much depends on it.

Of course, Zhu Zilong is not a fool. When this batch of modern materials is used up, it is a big deal, so that these craftsmen can continue to produce with the current iron or impurities of the Song Dynasty.

Yield and quality drop, it's okay. It's like local material for scientific research. If he can do a good job of seamless steel pipes, he will thank God.

-

Seeing the firearms and guns, it is estimated that the birth of a batch is not far away.

The focus of Zhu Zilong's consideration has shifted from the aspect of craftsmanship to the question of who and who will use these three-eyed assault rifles.

After all, no matter how good the weapon is, it has to be used by people. And in ancient times, the group of people who used weapons, especially the group of people who were well-armed. Loyalty and combat ability after becoming an army are the top priorities for any person in a higher position.

……

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang......

On the spacious flat land of a small forest near Huishan, the sound of firearms and guns was heard one after another. For a time, the smoke of gunpowder filled the place for a long time.

The 108 men lined up were selected by Zhu Zilong from among the families of the craftsmen, and Lin Chong's brother-in-law Lin Qiang served as the captain. The first batch of seamless modern steel tubing, the second generation of three-eyed flintlock pistols.

Then, at Zhu Zilong's request and personal training. These days, I practiced my marksmanship here every day. Familiar with various operations, but also for team cooperation!

Because these more than 100 people are either Zhu Zilong's henchmen, or the family members of craftsmen and insiders. Therefore, in terms of welfare and loyalty to Zhu Zilong, it is also the best to control. In this regard, Zhu Zilong will naturally not be stingy!

In addition to everyone's salary, which reaches a staggering fifty taels per month, there is also a scattered system of various rewards. Of course, the most important thing is that everyone has hostages in Zhu Zilong's hands!

Not only that, Zhu Zilong also deliberately said that everyone is commensurate with brothers. It's for the one hundred and eight Hans back to the mountain! (Affiliated to the 1st Urban Management Brigade)

"Captain, these three-eyed flintlock birds are really powerful. Jing Ran can play a distance of more than 100 steps, and has the ability to hurt people, seriously injure people, and almost die. I don't boast at all that it is the strongest bird in my Great Song Dynasty. A soldier said to Lin Qiang.

The others also joined in, and their faces were full of expressions of approval!

In the next second, Lin Qiang smiled and said to the more than 100 people in front of him: "Our three-eyed flintlock bird can still hurt people more than a hundred steps away, the armor of the leather lock can be broken eighty or ninety steps away, the iron armor of the forbidden army can be broken sixty or seventy steps away, the shield of wood and iron can be pierced within forty or fifty steps, and the projectile can pierce the heavy armor of the step man within thirty or forty steps." What you brothers said is very true, what the eldest brother came out of can naturally be regarded as the first firearm of my Great Song Dynasty! ”

However, just finished complimenting. Lin Qiang glanced at Zhu Zilong, and then said to everyone:

"However, you must not be careless. You must know, as the prince said before, if the enemy also comes on horseback, armor and arrows, this life and death instantly desperately attacked, and the bird gun is not omnipotent! ”

Zhu Zilong nodded on the side at the right time, agreeing with Lin Qiang's opinion.

For a while, everyone looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were much calmer. Don't be arrogant!

However, there are also people who are stronger. But he hugged his fists again to Zhu Zilong and Lin Qiang, and said, "It is reasonable for your brothers to be worried. It's just that I'm not an elm brain. I think I can set up a barrier in front of the gun array, and with the shield armor and spear stabbing array, it will be much more stable. ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, another person in the team also stepped forward and said: "The enemy has arrows, I think we should also wear heart guards in important parts!" ”

As soon as these proposals came out, Zhu Zilong couldn't help but nod again and again, thinking that he had thought of all these things. But the fact that the players can think of it for themselves shows that they are highly motivated and energetic!

After a while, the shooting practice continued. Seeing that everyone's level is getting better and better, and with the two-stage firing (not enough for the time being, the three-stage fire), and the more and more tacit understanding, Zhu Zilong feels that the preparations he has made in the past few days have not been in vain, and what he has done is worth it.
