Chapter 261: Going down in history?

If you follow the protagonist in the general crossing, the route of developing guns must be arquebuses first, then flintlock pistols, then breech guns, and so on. However, those are just stories after all, but Zhu Zilong is a real crossing.

And he's not going to be here forever. More than a decade later, there is only a 70% chance that he can return to his hometown in the modern 21st century of the earth.

The so-called time waits for no one, so Zhu Zilong has no choice but to hang up.

Just know the development route of guns for a long time, why not get it in place in one step?

Even if for a while, for various reasons, you can't create something like a modern rifle, then you don't have to give yourself a mentally handicapped aura, you have to start with an arquebus, and slowly develop, right?

After all, Zhu Zilong was not yet the leader of the Great Song Dynasty, and the materials on his hands were also limited. Of course, if you want to do it, you can do it, and the limit of handmade is good.

Therefore, Zhu Zilong made modifications on the three-eyed gun, which looks like the three-eyed goods of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, but it should actually be regarded as a copycat three-eyed flintlock pistol. Because in the design drawing, a piece of flint is arranged on the jaws of the hammer.

When firing, the trigger is pulled, and under the action of the spring, the flint is hit the side of the fire door, and sparks emerge, igniting the gunpowder and firing. The firing process is greatly simplified, the firing rate and shooting accuracy are improved, and it is easy to use.

In order to deal with the mute fire rate, the three barrels are forcibly designed and played, so that even if the mute fire rate reaches about 30%, only two barrels can be successfully ignited each time.

If there is only one barrel, really, the level of flint in the Song Dynasty and so on, other factors add up. Zhu Zilong is really afraid that when the time comes, there will be a picture of a cheating father at an important moment, so he can't bear to look at it directly.

"Lord, this firearm doesn't use a fire rope? How did the bird fire, the little old man had never seen such a gun. The drawings passed on to the other craftsmen, someone asked.

"That's right, most of the people who watch firearms and guns in this king use arquebuses to ignite fires. Not to mention the inconvenience of the heavy arquebus, once it rains, it is difficult to ignite the arquebus, and it is also easy to be affected by strong winds, rain and snow. ”

"You see there's a stone here, I didn't say it just now, but it's a flint. As long as there is a one-hit anvil on the side of the fire hole, when shooting, pull the trigger. What do you think of the flint hitting the edge of the fire door and sparks coming out, which can naturally ignite the gunpowder in the barrel and ignite it? Zhu Zilong elaborated.

As he spoke, he also took out a flint sample, explained it further, and did a few smashing tests.

Flint, commonly known as "flint", is a relatively common siliceous rock, dense, hard, mostly gray and black, and has a shell-like fracture after being crushed. It is mostly produced in limestone, with spherical, ovate, rod-shaped, disc-shaped, gourd-shaped, irregular and other nodules, which were first favored by primitive people in the Stone Age, and most of the stone tools were made by flint strikes.

Iron products began to flourish in the Great Song Dynasty, and they were not used too much. But when it comes to this thing, craftsmen are not too unfamiliar.

In order not to directly scare the craftsmen, Zhu Zilong's design drawings do not have a spring structure. The structure is to add a hinged cover to the ignition powder, and when firing, the flint and the hinged cover rub out of the spark, and the ignition powder is ignited and fired.

With the level of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty, after someone broke through the flash of technological innovation, the existing technical level can solve this problem.

Many human inventions need a flash of inspiration and the attention of big people. Then it will develop rapidly, as if the entire history of human civilization is only about 10,000 years, and the first few thousand years are the history of feudal cold weapons.

After the discovery of industrial machinery, technology immediately developed by leaps and bounds. History has proven this, and the potential of humanity is enormous.

At this moment, Zhu Zilong's words were like a lightning bolt that hit the brains of all the Great Song Dynasty craftsmen. Let their whole people be stunned, their whole bodies stiffened in place for a long time, and they quickly digested the content of Zhu Zilong's words in their hearts!

For a while, there was still silence in the room, and everyone was quietly thinking about something.

After a long time, Li Gangshan was the first to take the lead and jumped up, with an ecstatic look on his face: "The prince is really clever, and such a wonderful thing can also be thought of in a flash." It is true that Liu An, the king of Huainan, invented tofu and passed it on in the world. Today, there is also a prince who came up with the idea that a bird gun firearm can be fired without a fire rope. I thought that this alone was enough to make the prince like that Liu An, and he would go down in history in the future! ”

A lot of the technology was originally just a layer of window paper, and once it was pierced, it was all understood. It's nothing! After all, the level of craftsmen in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of the Ming Dynasty in the back, so there was no reason why the Ming Dynasty could queue up to be shot, but the Song Dynasty couldn't?

When he was young, Li Gangshan took the lead and promised: "Lord Wang, please give the grass people three or five days to wait, and after three or five days, a sample of a bird gun without an arquebus will be prepared." Please take a look! ”

"Good!" Zhu Zilong nodded approvingly, and said: "As long as you can develop imitation and make a bird firearm that does not use a fire rope, this king will naturally be rewarded." However, considering that this matter is important and related to things in the palace. From now on, you can't go home, but of course, you can come and visit your relatives once a month. However, it must be accompanied by a guard and must not leak secrets. After the deed is completed, after only a year and a half of time, it is natural that you can get it freely in batches, and the return will not disappoint everyone! ”

Zhu Zilong's words are also common in things such as the royal family. This has been the case in all dynasties, and the craftsmen have understood it very well, and no one has any objections. If you really have any opinions, it's not just that you can't make money, it's also possible that if you have a little bit of contact with the royal family, you may die quietly if you change your ways!

figured out the relationship between them, and waited until everyone received the three-month salary paid by Zhu Zilong first, and it could be transferred to the family. The craftsmen immediately settled down and immediately threw themselves into the work of developing flintlock pistols in high spirits.

-

Zhu Zilong, who came out of the side courtyard, went straight to the living room. The two Cao brothers are still here, not only that, but Cao Yuting is chatting with her relatives on the side.

However, the Cao family brothers are not as calm as they were just now. And with an expression of urgency, but not frustration!

Zhu Zilong felt a little strange, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What?" After a while, what's wrong with you? ”

"In our workshop, someone has successfully dug a corner!" It was Cao Yuting who came over to explain.

"Cornered?" Zhu Zilong raised his eyebrows: "Is it Sanniang's workshop over there, or is it the second workshop in the Cao family?" Is it a soap workshop or a fruit wine workshop? Or is it some other workshop? ”

"It's a few wine workers who have been here for half a year, and a few porters!" Cao Bao stood up and replied, and then began to explain in detail.

The so-called wealth is moving, and under the heavy reward, if the person who digs the corner of the wall is also powerful. After all, people's hearts are separated from each other, and the status and ability of the Cao family and Zhu Zilong are not the masters of a country. Even if it is in the name of the head of a country, it is inevitable that some rebels will appear.

No, with these times, the size of various workshops has increased. The number of workers to be used is also increasing, whether it is the descendants of the Cao family or the people who have been believed by Zhu Zilong, they are all too busy.

There is no other way than to recruit a large number of workers from outside. And this naturally creates conditions for the mixing of fish and dragons, and some of them even defect and produce spies.
