Chapter 64: This is the Cannon
Since you want to grab the gem mine, you have to make some preparations in advance, although your own people are strong, but you must also minimize your own casualties. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Li Jin has sent people to study firearms since the first establishment of the Flying Eagle Camp, I don't know how much time has passed, what the results are, it is better to go and see today, if there is a finished product that will come in handy this time.
After discussing with Chen Chuchu and the others, after breakfast, the four of them hired a carriage, brought a few entourages, and set off for the camp.
Since he was not in a hurry, it was already noon when Li Jin arrived at the camp, just in time for lunch.
The village chief's father took Li Jin back to his home.
During the meal, Li Jin learned that the bandits in Yunlongzhai had recently come to commit crimes several times and injured several people who went shopping in the county seat.
After Li Jin heard this, his eyes rolled.
Worried that there was no suitable back-up for this operation, these robbers were sent to the door.
The moves are not afraid of getting old, as long as they are used skillfully.
The robbers were suppressed and wanted to take revenge on the imperial court, so they attacked the official kiln of the imperial court, haha, this is indeed a good story.
After eating with the village elder, Li Jin learned that Bulon was also in the camp, saying that there were not enough people in Jiangcheng, so he came back and picked a few capable and sturdy young men to come over.
Since he came, Li Jin took him to the research institute to see Buke's research results, and he was really afraid that the little girl would not give face.
Rumble!
Li Jin, who had just stepped into the courtyard not long ago, heard a thunderous sound in the backyard, which startled Bron.
It was Li Jin, but he heard it clearly, this should be the sound of the so-called red-clothed cannon.
Li Jin walked quickly into the courtyard and stared at the cannon that Buke was fiddling with.
Compared to the previous redcoat cannon, its barrel is much slimmer and smaller. On the gun mount, two wheels were added. However, judging from the three brackets extending from the gun mount and the slightly suspended wheels, the wheels are only used for walking, not for firing guns. What made Li Jin's eyes shine the most was that the wheels were wrapped with a layer of black rubber. Rubber is a good thing, and modern industry is indispensable for this kind of thing.
Besides, when I saw Buke fiddling. There is also a gearing system on the gun mount, which allows the upper and lower angles of the barrel to be adjusted by means of a joystick.
It was clear that this was a newly designed cannon, and the Buke were testing its performance. I saw that she went into battle in person, moved a "cannonball" with a fuse, opened the gun chamber door, and stuffed it in.
Li Jin also smiled dumbly when he saw the so-called "cannonball". This Buke was indeed a genius, but after a little inspiration from him, he came up with the idea of a cannonball that combined gunpowder and warhead. In this way, as long as the "shells" are prefabricated at the beginning, they will be convenient and quick to use on the battlefield, and a lot of effort and danger will be saved.
Someone else began to wait on the cliff wall, and hung a wooden target with a rope. Buke, on the other hand, is constantly adjusting the angle of the cannon slightly.
Not long after, she used a torch to light the fuse that the shell was exposed.
The sound kept ringing, and everyone fled for a few feet. The expression was both excited and nervous, staring at the cannon and the target. In that atmosphere, even Li Jin felt that his breathing was a little short, and he stared at it stubbornly.
Bang
The cannon roared like thunder, and the huge recoil caused the muzzle to rise and fall suddenly. At the muzzle of the cannon, the tongue of fire spat out.
Almost at the same time, there was a bang, and the wooden target was shattered by the shell. And the cliffs. It was also hit hard by a shell and the rubble flew up. A small hole was smashed.
After a moment of silence, there was a thunderous cheer among the more than 100 people. Even Li Jin couldn't help but applaud. The accuracy and power of this cannon had exceeded his expectations. And looking at the appearance of the cannon, it is obvious that it can be used for field battles. The previous red-coated cannon was naturally very powerful. But because of its terrible weight, it could only be erected on the city wall for defense. It seems that over the past few months, Buke's research has not been in vain.
However, Li Jin also saw that the shells fired were live shells, not flowering shells. That's a bit of a pity. But if the cannon is done, it doesn't matter much if the flowering shell is developed later. But Li Jin came here this time to get a few cannons to attack the mine.
Of course, this cannon is not bad, it is estimated that there are two or three people. Or a horse can be pulled away. This is a sharp weapon for positional warfare and siege warfare. Think about it, hundreds, if not thousands, of artillery pieces are bombarding a city indiscriminately. That's a terrible concept.
After they cheered, Li Jin asked Buke to call aside. Ask her about her recent work status, in her answer.
Li Jinpan was also very satisfied with her approach. Within a few months, she recruited more than 100 people. According to each person's specialty, it is divided into many research directions, some specialize in farming tools, some only focus on improving the level of smelting, and some study various materials and various gunpowder. Of course. The most important ones are also specialized in armaments and power facilities.
"Bron, you have a good niece."
Li Jin crossed Erlang's legs, looked at Bu Ke with a smile and discussed endlessly, and said with some emotion.
Bron's face stiffened, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you are laughing." ”
"I'm not joking with you, Buke is my heart, a treasure in the palm of my hand."
Li Jin smiled and said, "This matter should not have been discussed with you, but you also know my temperament." So, I'm cheeky with you. Look, how about I ask Buke to be my wife? Don't be a concubine, Ming Media is marrying. ”
"Ask for ...... Old...... Wife? ”
Bronn was taken aback, but then he was overjoyed. originally thought that my daughter was lucky to be able to get married. But I really didn't expect that she would take a fancy to the young master and marry the young master.
"I thought about it." Buke jumped and jumped happily: "I have a way." ”
That look made Bronn smile bitterly. This niece, where does she look like she can be someone's wife?
"What? Don't want to? ”
Li Jin was very happy when he saw Bu Ke, and he didn't feel a little comforted in his heart.
"Willing, willing"
Bronn scrambled to squeeze out a smile.
Li Jin shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Since you have no opinion, I will go back and ask my father to come to the door to propose marriage." ”
"No opinion, no opinion. Thank you young master for your love. Bron was excited, and immediately knelt down.
Now Li Jin has more prestige than the emperor in the eyes of the people in the camp, and of course Bronn is happy to be able to climb this family business.
What's more, he hasn't known Li Jin for a day or two, and he knows our young master, although sometimes it seems ridiculous. In fact, it is the means. What's even more rare is that he is still very good to his wife.
Poor Buke, who was still in the excitement and still immersed in the pleasure of Ming's creation, had no idea that he had been sold by the smiling squint and his uncle.
It's night. The cloth is also washed cleanly. Dressed in loose civilian clothes, in front of the desk in his bedroom, he was reading a notebook compiled by Li Jin in his spare time. This note is not a record of poetry and songs, let alone a secret book of martial arts. It was written by Li Jin in an easy-to-understand language based on the knowledge of the mechanical manufacturing major in the university in his previous life.
Li Jin himself also looked through it, but it was also full of pictures and texts, and he was too lazy to apply these things to practice.
But Buke is different. I was overjoyed to get this note. That night, I picked up the lamp and read it at night, and while reading, I wrote and drew with a pen, recording something.
Li Jin didn't know when, he had already appeared behind her, carrying his hands behind his back, and he came behind her with a smile. casually asked, "Buke, what do you think of this book?" ”
"Not bad, not bad. Many blind spots encountered in experiments can be solved one by one. ”
Buke was immersed in the research of the invention, but when she thought about it, something seemed wrong, and after a long time, she finally realized that something was wrong.
hurriedly turned around and looked at Li Jin, who was lying on her bed casually as if he was in his own home.
Although she is immersed in inventions, it does not mean that she is stupid, but a girl with a very high IQ. What's more, she reads a lot of miscellaneous books. For the love between men and women, although ignorant. However, the girl Fangxin, there is no need to understand this, her own instinct to tell her what to do.
"Hey, don't you know if men and women kiss each other?"
Buke asked in surprise as he stared at his cute and watery apricot eyes.
Li Jin was smiling, smiling very simply. He beckoned to her and said with a gentle and harmless face, "Buke, come and sit." I want to invent a musket, and I happen to have some ideas to discuss with you. ”
That look was like a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing.
Buke was the most defenseless of these things, and it seemed that he did have a lot of ideas, and he had been inspired by him several times.
Unconsciously relaxed, he walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and said excitedly: "Tell me quickly, what good ideas do you have?" ”
Li Jin smiled, took out the paper and pen, and drew a sketch for her: "Take a look." What about my idea? Li Jinbian showed her the drawings and patiently explained the role of each part.
Buke looked flat at first. But soon, her eyes were full of light, and it was obvious that Li Jin's parts gave her a lot of inspiration.
Li Jin naturally will not let go of this good opportunity. Naturally, he hooked up on her shoulder first, and before she could react. He pointed to the spring and said, "Look, put this spring mechanism in the box." Then press the bullets into the magazine one by one. And the mechanism on the chamber of the gun, when pulled back, the spring will push a bullet into the chamber. Then he pushed the mechanism, and not only did the door of the magazine close, but also pushed the bullet into the chamber. Once we pull the trap and shoot the bullet out. As long as you repeat the action of pulling and pushing, you can achieve the purpose of continuous bullet shooting. ”
"It's a really good idea, better than I thought."
At this time, Bu Ke began to admire Li Jin faintly: "I really didn't expect it, you are still quite smart." ”
"Don't ask you, yours, call the young master."
Li Jin glared, hugged her hard, and said, "However, Buke, you are very cute." I agree that you can call whatever you want, whatever you like. ”
Somehow, Bu Ke listened to this in his heart, and he felt this sudden heartbeat, and he hugged it so much that his breathing became more and more rapid, and he was a little uncomfortable. Unconsciously twisted twice and said, "You let go of me first, it's so uncomfortable to hug me." ”
Li Jin immediately diverted his attention and said, "Buke, this idea of mine. I always feel that there is something wrong, you can help me see, this cartridge case is stuck in the chamber of the gun, how to make it automatically withdraw the cartridge case every time it pulls the mechanism. ”
Buke took a closer look at the drawings. His eyes lit up and he said: "You can add a small thing here, every time you pull the mechanism, whether there is a bullet or a cartridge case in the chamber, it will be withdrawn, but there are still some small problems in this way, the bullet case is relatively hot, so you have to let it automatically pop out of the chamber." I think about it again, think about it, and by the way, I can add a little thing here. Each time the recoiling is released, the cartridge casing or bullet can be squeezed out directly. ”
As she spoke, she seemed to be simulating the scene of retreating, and her little hand pulled from time to time.
"Buke, you're really just today."
Li Jin said with heartfelt emotion, although he gave her a lot of curtains. But in such a short time. I thought of a solution to the problem. The attainment of mechanical skills has obviously reached the point of perfection. In fact, it is precisely like this that there were still many people in ancient China who had a fanatical hobby for mechanical arts.
Li Jin's words of praise made Bu Ke blush slightly. Li Jin glanced at him and said, "If it weren't for your reminder, where would I have thought of so much." That's right, this new bullet. and loading technology, which can also be used on artillery. ”
"Buke, it's getting dark, let's rest early."
Li Jin hugged her shoulders tightly, and gently sneaked a bite on her pink and crystal clear little face. That look was not half uncomfortable. It's like an old husband and wife for many years.
Rest? Buke looked at him with some dumbfoundedness. Although she is obsessed with studying mechanical arts. is hazy about men and women, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand it at all. couldn't help but glare: "I'm not you?" Why should I rest with you? ”
"Now, you don't know? Your uncle has betrothed you to me as a daughter-in-law. ”
Li Jin pretended to be surprised, and said with an incredulous expression: "You don't even sleep with me?" ”
That tone, tone, as if Buke didn't sleep with him, what kind of absurd thing that God could not tolerate.
"What?. Buke glared at the apricot eyes. Surprised: "This, this is impossible?" ”
"How could it be? Li Jin smiled and said, "I am the boss of this camp and the master of this." Every plant and tree here is mine, and everyone has to listen to me, including you. ”
Li Jin squinted his eyes and picked up her smooth and jade chin: "Your uncle is my subordinate, and if I propose to him, it is naturally impossible for him to object." Hey, Buke, you're my man from today onwards. ”
Buke opened his mouth, but only then did he understand, this person seems to be the leader of this camp, and he is everyone's great benefactor, but this person is also quite smart, but he doesn't hate it, since it was his uncle who agreed, Buke nodded and said: "Okay, from now on I will be your person." However, I'm going to read a book, and I don't want to sleep. ”
When I stood up, I wanted to go to my desk.
"Wait, wait."
Li Jin hurriedly dragged her away, thinking in his heart that if you went to read, wouldn't you let me stay alone in the empty room? Look at the expressions of indifference and innocence. Li Jin thought about it, and suddenly said with a heavy face: "Buke, you are really a smart and beautiful girl
These words were very comfortable to hear, and Buke was slightly fluttering.
"However, since ancient times, there has been a lot of life. My Buke is so beautiful and smart. ”
Li Jin said with a look of regret.
"It's not a big deal if you die." Buke was quite indifferent: "Don't pull me, I'm going to read a book." ”
"This Buke, listen to me......"
Li Jin coughed a few times and said, "As for you, you like to play tricks." But what about this trick. Broad and profound, the content is as vast as the sea. Even if it takes you a lifetime, don't try to fully understand it. You see, I have a point, right? ”
Buke thought for a moment, but sighed softly: "That's true. Human life is too short. And the trick requires a lot of time to learn and experiment. ”
As far as Buke knows, many masters of tricks have finally achieved something, but when their lives have come, they have to die with regrets.
Thirst is good. Li Jin's eyes narrowed with a smile. Like a big bad wolf. Aiming at the pure and lovely Little Red Riding Hood.
"Now, but I have a solution. Let Buke not only greatly increase your lifespan, but also maintain a long time of immortality. Tsk, if you miss the village, you won't have this store."
