The three hundred and ninety-eighth round

"Senior brother is here...... Oh! Gan Xingba! You're finally willing to come back! ”

In the compound, it was Shirley who greeted Lu Ren and Gan Ning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 After each of them greeted each other, Lu Ren asked Shirley, "How are the things here?" ”

Shirley picked up an item and handed it to Lu Ren: "It's going well overall, but it's probably not realistic to make the kind we have there at this time." However, after improvement, it can be somewhere between the breech type and the breech type. ”

Gan Ning didn't understand what Lu Ren and Shirley were talking about, but when she saw what Shirley handed to Lu Ren, Gan Ning understood something to some extent...... Well, what Shirley handed to Lu Ren was actually a rifle, and Gan Ning had already played with artillery, so he naturally knew about firearms for a long time.

But it's important to note here that Shirley's rifle is not an arquebus, a flint gun, or a modern or modern rifle...... It is definitely not possible to be too modern, so Lu Ren's original goal for Shirley was to be made in Hanyang or in the formal.

But in fact, there is a very important problem that restricts Lu Ren and Shirley, that is, with the existing conditions in Yizhou, it is simply impossible to produce a large number of bullets used in modern guns. And if there are no bullets in the gun, then it is probably no different from a burning stick on the battlefield...... No, it can be used as a short spear with a bayonet.

Don't underestimate bullet production here. In modern and modern times, the production of bullets is of course much simpler and more convenient than guns, but that is because many of the preconditions have already been achieved. And at this point in time, it is this small bullet, or even the mass production of that small bullet case, that has stumped Lu Ren and Shirley.

Many times small things are difficult to get, and this is the kind of problem that Lu Ren and Shirley encountered. Of course, it can be done by hand, but one is that the speed of manual production is slow and the output is low, and the second is that it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of error in manual production, and the gun generally has high requirements for the error accuracy of the bullet.

In short, Lu Ren and Shirley can produce Hanyang-made in small batches at this point, but it is difficult to make bullets. Maybe in the last few years, after solving some problems with the production process, the bullet will be able to be mass-produced, but now it is certainly unlikely.

On the other hand, Lu Ren was very dissatisfied with the loading methods of arquebuses and flint guns, and arquebuses and flint guns were not as easy to use as in historical legends. At the same time, at this point, don't underestimate the power and practicality of the bow and crossbow in the Han Dynasty, you must know that the bow and crossbow technology in the Han and Tang dynasties was actually lost later. And Lu Ren has been mixed for a few years, but he has personally experienced the horror of the Han Dynasty bow and crossbow, so he knows that arquebuses and flint guns cannot meet his needs.

So, Lu Ren and Shirley secretly gathered some craftsmen and built such a small town in the south of Yizhou, in order to improve the musket to meet their own conditions. During this period, don't look at Shirley, who always makes some messy things from the east and west to let the people see it, in fact, Lu Ren and Shirley are also using this to attract the attention of the people and the outside world, so that others will not notice what Lu Ren and Shirley are secretly doing.

I won't talk about this, just say that after Lu Ren received the musket from Shirley, he directly pulled the bolt...... It's not the bolt in the sense of a rifle in later generations, it's just similar to it. If anything, this thing is a bit of a breech-loading shotgun, such as the well-known "nine-headed gun" three-barreled shotgun, which is the kind that puts bullets from the rear tube.

But Lu Ren stuffed the bullet into the barrel...... Paper bullets! Lu Ren has paper on hand, and he can produce very good quality paper. Lu Ren and Shirley used paper as the base, using paper to make a shell to wrap gunpowder and warheads, making a rather bizarre "paper bullet". In terms of firing principle, it has something in common with flint guns.

That's why Shirley used to say that the improved musket was "somewhere between breech and breech". In general, it is to use some convenience factors to simplify the breech loading of the flint gun as much as possible, and the warhead can also be made into a round cone with the help of paper shells, so it also further improves the range and power of the warhead. However, due to bore pressure and other reasons, the "bolt" on the bullet is a bit large...... It's not too big, it's not thicker!

After seeing Lu Ren's good shots, he raised his gun towards the target in the distance. At that time, people didn't know how to use it, but Lu Ren still didn't know? But seeing that Lu Ren took aim for a while, he pulled the trigger......

Bang!!!

Hit the target? I'm sorry, I completely missed the target, and Lu Ren himself was even more defenseless, and was shocked by the strong recoil and sat on the ground, which caused Shirley to laugh evilly. "Senior brother is here...... Oh! Gan Xingba! You're finally willing to come back! ”
