The next thing was much easier, the old craftsman used a little force to reverse the rotation, the copper barrel was slowly pulled out, and after a while, it was pulled out, and the three of them all came together, staring at the mouth of the barrel, under the bright candlelight, the spiral lines inside the barrel were clearly visible, very even, the faces of the three people were happy, Wei Long even couldn't wait to take out the ammunition to try the performance of the new barrel. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Wait, didn't you say before that after rifling is engraved in the barrel, the inner ring will be narrowed a little, this roaring young general is also a delicate thing, will this change have an impact?" Zhao Qing interrupted Wei Long with some concern.

Wei Long was also stunned for a moment and began to think about this question. Instead, the old craftsman snatched the ammunition from Wei Long's hand and said: "If it's a donkey or a horse, you juniors know how to think about it, but you don't know how to do it!" ”

Wei Long and Zhao Qing were reprimanded by the old craftsman's face was hot, and they only watched the old craftsman skillfully load the roaring young general, and fill the ammunition, although the barrel mouth is thinner, but when it was originally designed, the nozzle was much thicker than the lead head of the ammunition, so it did not affect the filling of the ammunition, as for whether the impact affected the launch, it depended on whether the rifling worked or not.

Although the studio is wide, it is obviously not suitable for testing the performance of the Roaring Youngster, Wei Long pushed the room open, led Zhao Qing to take a few turns in the underground weapons prison, and the three of them came to a fairly open room, which is not capped, this is an open-air cave, the cave floor is paved with blue bricks, it is very flat, and there are many targets on the opposite side, it seems that it is the place used to test the firearms of the Roaring Youngster.

The old craftsman also participated in the design of the Roaring Youngster, who had devoted his life to the development of the firecracker, and at this moment he was very excited to get this leaping technical improvement, and he was reluctant to give up the opportunity to test the first shot of rifling.

I saw that the old craftsman's back was originally slightly bowed straight at the moment, the whole person stood like a pine, and the posture was extremely standard with the roaring young general, standing fifty steps away from the target, half-squinting one eye aimed at the crosshair on the roaring young general, and after the three points and one line were stabilized, the trigger was pulled, but the boom was heard, the gun head shook back, and a target fifty steps away also jumped in response, obviously being hit.

"Good! This rifling is really magical, the trajectory of the gun is extremely stable, and it can really point where to hit, which is much better than the original barrel! The old craftsman held up the roaring young general, his face was full of excitement, and he still couldn't believe that the problem of the ballistic instability of the firearm could be solved in his generation.

Wei Long, who originally wanted to remind the old craftsman to take another twenty steps from the target for a test, was also silent at the moment, and couldn't close his mouth with a smile, replacing himself with the previous roaring young general, fifty steps away, no matter how accurate the shooter was, he was not sure that he could shoot at the target. Hearing the old craftsman's praise, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and immediately took the roaring young man from the old craftsman's hand, and after loading his ammunition, he couldn't wait to set it up, and also aimed at the target fifty paces away.

Wei Long deserved to be the head of the weapons prison, and the use of the fire gun in his hands was much more skilled than the forbidden troops under Zhao Qing, but when he heard the sound of the gunshot, a white smoke swept by, and the same target was hit again, and was shattered in half by the huge impact of the lead bullet.

Rao heard the description of the old craftsman, but he had not personally tried it, and he couldn't appreciate the beauty of it at all, Wei Long seemed to be addicted, he loaded ammunition three times in a row, shot three times, and hit the target every time, before he couldn't put it down and returned the roaring young general in his hand to Zhao Qing, who looked disgruntled.

Just when Zhao Qing also wanted to try a shot, the old craftsman stopped Zhao Qing and said: "This barrel is rifled, there are ravines inside, and there must be a large amount of gunpowder residue left when shooting, filling in the lines, and it must be cleaned up after a few shots." As he spoke, he took out a rod made of unknown material, the head of which was a fluffy pile of fluff, and removed the barrel to prepare for cleaning. Sure enough, as the old craftsman said, after only four shots, the brush in the barrel that had just been removed fell down and a cloud of black ash fell, and the rod was poked into the barrel to clean it carefully, and in just a moment, the original yellow fluff turned black.

There must be a gain, it seems that this roaring young general can not be used as casually as before, and a job of cleaning the barrel must be inserted in the link, which has increased the workload of the three-person musket team with a clear division of labor and heavy tasks, but the benefits in exchange are conceivable. Fifty paces away can have such a hit rate and kill, which is not a fatal distance on the battlefield, cavalry infantry to threaten the musketeers must rush within twenty paces, and in the middle of thirty paces, the musketeers will let them know what cruelty is. Besides, fifty steps is not the limit of the Roaring Youngster, this range is limited to the area, and there is no way to test the effect further, until Zhao Qing goes back to figure out the effective killing range of the Roaring Youngster, the Musket Team can officially determine its position and function on the battlefield.

After cleaning the barrel, Zhao Qing also loaded the ammunition and tried to shoot it, and sure enough, it felt very different, the lead bullet shot out obviously felt much more stable, and it hit the target fifty steps away with a snap.

"Haha, the two of us are the young generals who have been tested before and roared, so we have such an accurate head, I didn't expect Zhao Gongzi to have such marksmanship, which really makes the old man admire." The wrinkles on the old craftsman's face bloomed like chrysanthemums, "Zhao Gongzi has helped my weapons supervisor several times since he was born, especially the new gunpowder formula and this rifling, which are really the weapons of the country, and my weapons supervisor is really deserved, and I can't let Zhao Gongzi pay in vain." If Zhao Gongzi has any needs, my weapons supervisor will definitely do his best to meet Zhao Gongzi. ”

Zhao Qing heard that this was asking him to raise a price for this rifling, although there was probably no concept of patents in this era, but in order to maintain friendly cooperation between the two sides, the Ordnance Supervisor did not intend to take advantage of Zhao Qing. Looking at the old craftsman, Zhao Qing's eyebrows jumped, and he thought a lot in his mind, I am afraid that this is the real head of the Liaodong Weapons Prison, since he has spoken, he doesn't need to be polite, the lion just opened his mouth.

"Haha, the seniors are really bold. Although Zhao Qing is a money-loving layman, but when this army is in chaos, the things of gold and silver are really boring, there is a battalion of forbidden army soldiers under his command, equipped with a lot of roaring young generals, although he knows that it will take a certain amount of time for this rifling to be promoted, but I don't know if the ordnance supervisor can help to engrave all the barrels of the roaring young generals in this battalion? Zhao said lightly.

The old craftsman and Wei Long exchanged glances and nodded to each other, although this first barrel took them most of the day, but with this template, the barrel behind it will be easy to process, although a battalion of hundreds of barrels is a little troublesome, but it can still be made day and night.

"This should be within the scope of my ordnance superintendent, Zhao Gongzi is really polite, but there are other requirements?" The old craftsman also made a little worthless for Zhao Qing's offer, he knew the value of rifling, and wanted to give Zhao Qing a satisfactory return, so that the two sides could continue to cooperate in the future.

"That's not polite, a large number of empty shells of thunderbolts were found in this ordnance prison before, presumably in order to replace them with new gunpowder, there must be a large amount of old gunpowder stored in the ordnance prison, and I plan to form a musket team in the next place, but the old gunpowder reserves in the battalion are a little insufficient, I wonder if the ordnance supervisor can provide these old gunpowder to my striker right battalion?" Only then did Zhao Qing say his purpose, and he had started to fight this batch of old gunpowder since he had just entered the military weapons prison.

Wei Long showed a look of embarrassment, he planned to continue to put these old gunpowder back into those thunderbolt empty shells, although the forbidden army was all replaced with new thunderbolts, but no one would have too many such weapons. However, under the stern eyes of the old craftsman, he still gave in and said: "These old gunpowder were originally idle, if Zhao Gongzi wants, my ordnance supervisor will transfer it to the right battalion of the forward." ”

"Well, I'll have my subordinates bring the barrel of the gun to the ordnance supervisor in a moment, and then you will entrust this old gunpowder to my subordinates."

"No problem." Wei Long replied with a smile, a slight ache on his face.

"The army is busy with affairs, so I will leave here." Saying that, Zhao lightly left the ordnance prison from the other side under the guidance of Wei Long.

This ordnance superintendent is indeed a huge underground karst cave, there are several places that are not capped, so the sealing effect is too poor, and it is no wonder that the ordnance superintendent moved the blasting experiment to the city of Ningjiang Prefecture in order to avoid exposing this place.

Sitting in a cage, the rope slowly pulled itself to the mouth of the cave, Zhao Qing came up to take a look, and found that the side of this place was actually the small courtyard that Yang Duwei had brought him to before, and a soldier pulled his own female horse to him, and he left this place on a horse.

It was still morning when he came, and it was almost dusk at this moment, Zhao Qing didn't want to delay, and rode his horse a little faster, although he was not yet proficient, but he had made great progress, and returned to the camp in a quarter of an hour.

The fire training had long since stopped, and Meng Heng led the soldiers for another day of high-level physical training, and the entire camp could smell a sour smell of sweat.

Seeing Zhao Qing coming back, Meng Hui quickly greeted him, and before he could speak, Zhao Qing directly ordered loudly to the whole battalion: "All the officers and men of the first brigade are assembled, collect all the barrels of the roaring juniors, and transport them to the ordnance prison!" ”

After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, and said to Meng Heng: "I went to the Lying Weapon Prison and transformed this roaring young general, and now the trajectory is stable, and it can be accurately hit even from fifty steps away." These barrels are sent to the Ordnance Supervisor to do the same transformation, Lao Meng, you personally escort them, there is nothing missing. Also, I asked for a lot of old gunpowder from the Ordnance Warden, and I brought it back with me when the time came. I have other things to do tonight and need to leave camp for one night. ”

"Yes." Meng Hui was a little frightened, of course he knew what the situation was on the side of the Ordnance Supervisor, those guys who didn't get in the oil and salt were just two thunderbolts who would be careful for a long time, and they would actually improve so many roaring young generals for them so generously? And a lot of old gunpowder? Although Meng Hui didn't know what many of Zhao Qing's concepts were, he didn't know why this young man was so good with the most difficult weapons supervisor.

Thinking like this, the soldiers below had already collected all the barrels of the roaring generals, and more than 400 guns were loaded into two large carts, and under Meng Heng's order, they roared towards the ordnance supervisor. Of course, the ordnance supervisor here is not the underground cave where Zhao Qing went, but the gateway to the outside world. The little officer on duty had already been greeted, and many people had been sent from above, and a few big stabs had been transported, all of which were filled with old gunpowder, which made him speechless, and he didn't know which army was so generous.

When Meng Hui came with two carts of gun barrels, Wei Long and the old craftsman who were hiding in the crowd couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure, where is this a roaring young general of a battalion, there are clearly two battalions, this Zhao Qing is really treacherous, and I don't know when it will be completed tonight. For the sake of secrecy, they also specially called a small number of trustworthy craftsmen, but now they regret it.

Meng Hui saw that there were really several large barrels of gunpowder, Le's mouth couldn't close, and he hurriedly called someone to send him back to the camp, and he stayed in the ordnance prison, saying that he couldn't rest assured that he couldn't get this batch of gun barrels, and now these roaring young generals are the most important family background of the right battalion of the striker, he wants to go in and watch the craftsmen process, don't damage the barrel of his gun, how can Wei Long agree, both of them are hob meat-like figures, and for a while, the solemn ordnance prison portal became bustling and noisy, and many officers from other battalions who heard the news wanted to come to find out some news, but they were all turned away.

Zhao Qing didn't know this, he had returned to the courtyard, planning to let Xiong Ye go out to purchase some things, the old craftsman took out the kind of tool to brush the barrel of the gun at that time made him very tempted, but the ordnance supervisor did not have much, he had to break the idea of asking for it, and bought some raw materials for the Xiong Ye clan to help make some, Xiong Ye has been thinking about taking on some work these days, adding some income to the clansmen, like this simple list is just right.

As soon as he entered the yard, he found that the adults in the yard seemed to be a little busy, and several children saw him and immediately cheered and gathered over.

Hearing that Zhao Qing was back, Master Xiong's huge body immediately appeared in the courtyard, but his face was a little anxious, and when he saw Zhao Qing in military armor, he rubbed his hands and didn't dare to come up for a while.

"What's wrong, Master Xiong?" Zhao Qing took off his helmet, saw that Xiong Ye's expression was a little unnatural, and asked. He'd been in the barracks all this time, and he hadn't asked much about it, but he didn't want to be alienated from here.

"Zhao Gongzi, you can be regarded as coming back, it's not Chen Tao'er's business, he said two days ago that the wound was a little itchy, originally my sister-in-law and I didn't take it seriously, I just thought about changing the dressing on time, who would have thought that it was getting worse and worse, and the wound that was already good actually worsened. I've already called Doctor Song, Zhao Gongzi, go and take a look! Xiong Ye said anxiously.

Zhao patted his head, how could he forget about this, he was really busy and confused, he had said that he was going to remove the stitches for Chen Taoer, but it was delayed until now, so don't have any accidents.

Hurriedly followed Master Xiong into the house, and saw that the hunched Song Ci was already in front of Chen Taoer's bed, holding a pair of scissors in his hand and carefully cutting something, and a few black threads were thrown on the plate on the side, while Chen Taoer's sister-in-law had tears on her face.

Song Ci just glanced at Zhao Qing and continued the work at hand. Seeing that Song Ci was removing Chen Taoer's stitches, Zhao Qing was also relieved, and sat aside and waited quietly.
