After leaving Wuxue, I got a sudden message, so I made a big circle and turned into a new camp that was being built by the Heat Imperial Court.

It is located on the site of Huashou Temple under the Feiyunding at the southern foot of Luofu Mountain, although it is far away from troubles and cities, it is also a sub-city of the twelve districts of Guangfu called Liede, about more than 20 miles.

But this is a much larger place than our original private site or temporary station, with a spacious terrain backed by mountains and sea, surrounded by several rivers, and slightly hilly.

Although the peak is not high, but the mountain is wonderful, the stone is steep, during the period of hiding these many caves that have been inhabited since ancient times and all kinds of cliff carvings, among which there is also a Ge Hong'an named after the ancestor of the Southern Dynasty, and in the early years of the Southern Dynasty, a palace view built - the South Temple, in order to miss the story of the South Mountain in the North Country Pass

Although compared to the center of the new army, it has a whole small military city and its ready-made ancillary facilities; or with two wings, but can be stationed in the large imperial garden enclosed for the hunting and amusement of the Son of Heaven, and the right wing cruising department specially set aside for the pasture and Happy Valley; and even the rear forward Liu Shaoneng Department with a ready-made military camp with complete functions.

In addition to a monk running away, some old and decadent Huashou Temple, some salted thin fields and sea ponds that only produce clams, are a large area of barren beaches and troubled times, weeds and shrubs, really can be regarded as poor and white, everything is created,

Fortunately, the local government of nearby Boluo County did not dare to cut corners in various building materials, tools, and materials, and the required manual servants were also as much as possible to meet.

So I quickly leveled out two camps, one large and one small, one with the old site of Huashou Temple as the core of the base camp, and the other at the mouth of the sea at the confluence of Luoshui and Dadong River.

There are even temporary small docks and trestle bridges to meet the needs of large ships in inland river Pantou and offshore yachts, because of the need for long-term garrison training, it is more convenient for me to do some private goods or something in the demarcated area.

The distance between the two battalions has a relatively diverse terrain such as mudflats, gravel, hills, sandy slopes, and shrubs, which is just used for daily travel and rapid training.

Then, with the boundary markers, I hugged the surrounding boundaries as much as possible, including most of the foothills, and enclosed them within the scope of my so-called training ground, which can be regarded as some kind of self-relief compensation.

In the camp at the mouth of the river, I checked the several units that were being trained in pairs, mainly cold weapons group confrontation, although in the new formation, the number of white soldiers and spearmen was reduced, and the surplus personnel were filled into the gun team as auxiliaries, but the relative importance was further increased.

The first team of the two battalions and eight regiments on the left flank of the new army must be a hand-to-hand combat team composed of white soldiers and spearmen, the most elite veterans of which are called the vanguards, and before the bayonet tactics gradually take shape and take effect, they are the meat shields and protective walls of all the gunners, and they are also the main force for close attacks to break the formation.

This is also the final connection between my army and tradition, and it is also the transition place used to absorb and integrate the traditional army. Then I came to the camp, which was still under construction.

But he didn't stop any longer, and drove straight through the complex of buildings that were being demolished to turn the shrines and pedestals into command posts, warehouses, and barracks, and came straight to a newly opened dirt road in the rear.

In the deep valley behind the camp, the grass and rocks had been cleared, and then a large open space had been flattened with gunpowder, where the newly made prototypes were being test-fired.

The original equipment of my unit was originally collected and sorted, and the guns were recovered and equipped in the officers and soldiers, and then after the firing device was modified and replaced, it was centrally equipped according to the similarity of calibers, so that one caliber per team could barely be achieved.

It's just that in this way, as an auxiliary soldier of the Gun Team, it is inevitable that he needs to be proficient in a certain skill, and use simple charcoal furnaces, lead blocks, and molds to quickly produce a large number of projectiles that meet the common caliber of the team.

Now that the ranks have expanded and the number of personnel has increased, something must change.

It's just that, according to the normal channels, the firearms allocated from the treasury of the official army are out-and-out spots, and obviously because of some kind of unpopularity, the benefits and benefits that the group of rats and moths that manage the arsenal can gnaw on are limited.

It's just that many of them are styles from many years ago, and almost a year name is a batch of calibers, and several calibers are just a whim of the superiors, or a momentary word, and they become the standard for mass production, while not batches of the same year, there are also subtle differences in the selection of materials.

And most of them are poorly kept, and they are rusty or the pipes are deformed, and there are even stupid and heavy arquebuses, it seems that in the eyes of those bureaucrats, the so-called firecrackers are a virtue regardless of size.

Under my solemn representations and substantial threats, the group of bastards of the Arsenal Division of the Weiwei Temple finally relented and used more actual allocation to make up for the lack of quality, that is, they managed to dump all the old goods at the bottom of the warehouse to me.

In this way, my purpose has also been achieved, so many varieties and categories, just to cover my private source of firecracker products, and the fire process of these firecrackers is uneven, poor maintenance, but several of them and batches, as the materials and materials for pipe spare parts, are still quite good, with the value of refurnace.

Therefore, I was able to build a set of hydraulic processing workshops under the banner of self-construction, and purchase and prepare materials such as carbon, sulfur, and saltpeter to cover my own production operations.

According to my ideal plan, long and short guns can be unloaded in two or three calibers, so that a standardized large army shoots one ammunition caliber and ratio in line and in formation, another ammunition caliber and ratio for chasseurs specializing in precision strikes, and at most adds some fast-loading rapid-fire ammunition caliber and ratio for reconnaissance scouts and light cavalry.

Because of the lack of stability and the difficulty of preservation of thundermercury as a firing agent, the loading of a few firing pins is still in the real argument. The test launch here is still the traditional principle of sui firing, but with the simplification of the structure and the strengthening of the material, the reliability and stability of the fire are further improved, and then the existing fire gun is modified and replaced.

As an alternative to the rear-loading gun, Konggigi carefully rubbed his hands together and removed a musket from the rattan compartment that looked much stubby, but especially bloated at the rear.

I took a closer look at it, and couldn't help but smile slightly, is it this sense of déjà vu again?

Obviously, after I complained and pointed out the shortcomings of the original pepper bottle pistol, which was cumbersome and cumbersome, he racked his brains to make another improvement according to my request.

For example, by cutting off the excess barrel of a pepper bottle pistol and then loading a rotating chamber in the hollowed out rear, a primitive flintlock revolver was born.

Because it is the principle of sustained fire, there is no cartridge case and primer as the overall closure of the bullet, and the leakage of gunpowder gas is obvious, and the temporary solution is to leave the bayonet and embed it with a hand-plucked bullet wheel, that is, to sacrifice the speed of continuous fire to improve accuracy and power.

In this way, the revolver is not easy to use, and it is still bulky, and the back seat is strong and not handy, but Kong Jiji has a unique way to strengthen the body of the gun and thicken and extend it, and the revolver rifle can be customized as an elongated and expanded version.

Because this is also some kind of workaround of the rear-loading gun, compared to the traditional front-loading singles flintlock pistol, it saves the time-consuming front pass, and I don't know how many times faster, but the multi-round loading of the bullet wheel is equally troublesome and troublesome

Therefore, the solution and expedient measure is that as long as the auxiliary soldiers bring a few to a dozen more bullet wheels for backup, pre-load some of the bullet wheels in advance, and arrange the remaining manpower in the field to take turns to reload, a certain firepower density can be maintained.

The rest is to improve the precision of processing and the reliability of the material to reduce the failure rate and versatility, and the bullet wheel also has the advantage that when encountering mechanism failure and blind fire rate, it can be directly dialed to the next round by hand, which is easier to clean and reload than the long barrel of a traditional single-flintlock pistol.

Although in the technology tree of traditional firearms, it belongs to the crooked way that deviates from the main one, but it still has a considerable excessive value for this time and space that also points the crooked firearm technology tree.

According to the frequency and rhythm of combat in this time and space, it can shoot hundreds of projectiles without malfunctioning, which is considered a good gun.

"Can you follow this template and make a few hundred in a short period of time?"

I immediately clapped my head

"Equip my pro-direct team and most of the non-commissioned officers. Even if it's a little more expensive, it's not a problem."

"Hundreds,?"

Kong Jiji, whose face was covered with gun ash after design, couldn't help but show a kind of wry smile and helplessness.

"The Lord will know that I have made this one to be useful...... How much material and process it cost?"

"This must be made of good Tianzhu iron and West (Xia) steel."

"It's thanks to the craftsmanship of small springs, otherwise it wouldn't even be a real thing."

"Since that's the case......"

Listening to his complaints, I was not angry and angry

"Actually, you can also consider a workaround......"

I demonstratively picked up the firecracker, split it up, arranged it into a dozen parts, and counted them with him one by one.

"In addition to the barrels and bullet wheels that need to withstand the strength of the medicine stone, they must be made of good steel,"

"Other components can be made from cheaper and simpler materials......"

"For example, this pistol and handguard, how to use what hardwood in the heart of the tree and replace it with miscellaneous wood sawdust glued and patchwork, and how to ......"

"As a sea boat, you can soak in the water for many years, not to mention that it is only used to fix the body, which is a misunderstanding of thinking......"

"These latches do not need to be expensive brass, they can be replaced with iron"

"If you are afraid of rust, soak it in grease and maintain it......"

"It's like this gun frame, why bother forging it with all-steel,"

"Use the cheapest South Sea iron, cast and then polish and polish it......"

"There are also wrenches and reeds, as long as they meet the standards of fire sickles, there is no need to make them so delicate......

"If you have a card slot, you can apply a layer of eucommia glue, so you don't have to work hard to make fine circles

"As for the heat coking can't be sealed, that's all after hundreds of rounds......"

"Replacing a layer of glue is more trouble-free than replacing a spare part......

"I don't want good-looking and timeless and new crafts,"

"Rather, it is a sharp firearm that can be quickly mass-produced using cheaply available materials......

"Longer service life and storage period are not something you need to consider for the time being......"

"Understand not ......"

Looking at Kong Jiji and their bitter faces, holding their stomachs full of thoughts, I couldn't help but sigh slightly, this is a kind of ingenuity, after excellence, but the limitations,

This is also the general standard of the country's military industry in later generations, which may not necessarily be the best, but it must be based on local conditions and a wide range of materials, and the most tolerant of mass production.
