Chapter 40: Kamui Musket
According to Luo Yanghe and Emperor Chongzhen's understanding, it is impossible for an army to be without bows and arrows, otherwise it can only be beaten passively, so their final conclusion is that Yang Tingjian will let the 1,120 brocade-clothed guards wear armor, and the other 2,000 people recruited by Yang Tingjian should be the same as other troops in the Ming Dynasty, just auxiliaries or people who transport grain and grass and baggage.
"Well, since the establishment of the Nanzhen Fusi is not full, it is understandable for Yang Tingjian to make up for the establishment, and after Yang Tingjian returns to the Beijing Division, I can summon him to ask."
This is Emperor Chongzhen's direct sue to Luo Yangxing, you don't care about this matter, I am personally responsible for letting Yang Tingjian explain.
Luo Yangxing became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, of course, he has a bit of the ability to adapt to changes, otherwise the position of the head of the spy will not sit for long, if Luo Yangxing does not know the current affairs, it is not as simple as losing his official position and resigning, and he is likely to worry about his life.
……
Since Yang Tingjian came back, he has been busy, first of all, he is looking for someone to assist in the installation of the three machines he bought, which is not an easy job for Yang Tingjian, because Yang Tingjian was not engaged in machinery before, and can only install it step by step according to the instructions.
Fortunately, the three machines are assembled, and as long as they are installed in the right position, they can be used immediately, otherwise Yang Tingjian can only look at the machine and cry without tears. The connection of wires can only be done by Yang Tingjian himself, and other people don't understand it at all.
After the machine was installed, Yang Tingjian specially selected fifty barely literate people from the recruits to be apprentices, in fact, Yang Tingjian did not understand very well, so he could only explore it by himself, and only after he learned it, he could teach these apprentices.
Among these recruits who were selected to come to the firearms workshop was Da Niu, his surname was Wang, and he used to have a few acres of thin fields at home, and his family background was barely okay, so he had studied private school for a few years, and he would also plan to dish, so Wang Da Niu was directly favored by Yang Tingjian.
It will show that Wang Da Niu still knows how to count, at least there are not many problems with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division! This is talent! But Ergou and Wang Daniu don't have such good luck, because Ergou is illiterate at all, but Ergou is very clever and willing to spend time studying, and actively participates in the literacy class run by Yang Tingjian in addition to training.
After these apprentices came, their first job was to learn to burn boilers, make the steam generator run, and the CNC machine tool could only be used after the electricity, and they didn't understand the working principle of the machine at all, because there was no need for that, just use it.
Yang Tingjian first made it one by one according to the exploded view of the Carmandel M1842 musket. This CNC machine tool is good, the accuracy can be accurate to 0.01 mm, on the more than a dozen parts of the musket, the CNC machine tool can be easily done, even rifling is not a difficult job.
Why did Yang Tingjian choose to imitate the Kamanelder musket, because this is a rear-loading rifled musket, and the loading speed is very fast, several times faster than the front-loading musket, which is a matter of life and death on the battlefield.
The design of the Kamanelde musket is not complicated, Yang Tingjian can fully understand it according to the exploded view, there are only a dozen parts, the biggest feature of this gun is that the barrel and the chamber are separated, as long as you turn the crank, you can push the chamber up, and after the reloading, you can fire it in the reset.
The flintlock device of the Kamanelde musket is on the right side of the chamber, and the left side is the crank that rotates the chamber to stand up and put away, and the other parts are the barrel, trigger, wooden butt, etc., there are only a dozen parts in total, and his working principle Yang Tingjian can also understand it at a glance. (Note: The work is related to the working principle of the musket and the reloading steps.) )
More than a dozen parts of this Carmander musket, although few, it is not difficult to process with a lathe, but if you really want to do it, it still takes a period of time to be familiar with it, Yang Tingjian did it seventeen or eighteen times, and basically completely mastered some of the characteristics of CNC machine tools, and only made the first Carmander musket five days later.
On November 1 of the third year of Chongzhen, it was destined to be an extraordinary day, and Yang Tingjian's imitation of the Kalman M1842 musket was produced, which was an epoch-making rear-loading musket, and at the same time there was rifling in the barrel.
Although this musket is still very primitive, this musket is already ahead of the world in two places, that is, rifling and rear loading.
The next day, Yang Tingjian brought his specially made paper shell Mini bullet and musket to the Tongzhou schoolyard, and Yang Tingjian planned to test it himself. There is basically no danger in this test gun task, because at this time it is **, and it is impossible to blow up the seamless steel pipe made of tungsten steel, which is absolutely impossible.
It was Shen Lian and the three of them who accompanied Yang Tingjian to test the gun, and since Yang Tingjian arrived at the school with the musket, Shen Lian and the three of them were stunned by the beautiful musket in Yang Tingjian's hand.
Kuaikou Le Yichuan was the first to speak:
"My lord, what kind of musket are you, why haven't I seen it before?"
Le Yichuan asked casually, Yang Tingjian only remembered at this time that he really hadn't named this musket, Yang Tingjian pondered for a while, and said casually:
"This is a new gun I made, and I haven't chosen a name yet, so I'll call it Kamui Musket from now on!"
Shen Lian is much more real, he is also a person who is good at using a musket, this musket is beautiful, but the effect will not be known until after testing.
"My lord, let me see how this gun is."
Yang Tingjian immediately complied with Shen Lian's request and directly handed the musket to him. Shen Lian first tapped the barrel of the musket with his hand, and the black and shiny barrel immediately made a crisp and pleasant jingle sound, as soon as he heard this sound, Shen Lian could be sure that this musket was made of stainless steel, and even if such a musket was very poor, there would be no danger of exploding.
"Your Excellency, this musket is good! It's all made of steel, but why this steel is black makes his subordinates understand. ”
For Shen Lian's problem, Yang Tingjian is not easy to explain, but Yang Tingjian does not intend to hide it:
"This is tungsten steel, a kind of steel that the Ming Dynasty can't produce."
"Tungsten steel...... Could it be Uzi steel? The knife made of Uzi steel is a treasure knife! Then the price of this musket is too expensive. ”
Tungsten scimitars are still relatively famous in Daming, so Shen Lian and they still know what tungsten steel is.
"Of course, I also bought it from the red-haired ghost with great difficulty, but this tungsten steel is not an uncommon thing, our Celestial Empire has a lot of minerals in this area, and in the future, as long as the conditions allow, we can also smelt tungsten steel."
"It's great that adults still know the art of steelmaking, and now we won't be afraid of the guy who doesn't have it in our hands."
Regarding tungsten steel, Yang Tingjian couldn't talk to Shen Lian and the three of them in detail, and they didn't understand it, today's main task was to test the gun, and other things would be put aside for the time being.
[Ask the brothers to collect, thank you for the falling leaves.]
If you are given a German CNC machine and some materials, you may be able to make a modern rifle in less than seven days, provided that you can search the Internet for exploded views of the firearm, and the specific parameters of each part...... Don't doubt it, you absolutely can. 】
