"Put!" The flag waved down violently, followed by several muffled sounds. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing on the viewing platform -- in fact, it was a higher point to put the platform on the shed -- Ye Yingwu and the water division of Zhenjiang Prefecture all commanded Zhang Shun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Wu Chucai, and the few remaining generals who stayed in Nanjing City raised their clairvoyance at the same time and looked at the front shooting range where the smoke and dust were rolling.

"Targeting!" The command flag in the herald's hand fell again, and several soldiers rushed into the shooting range. With the increasing number of Daming workshops and the construction of supporting facilities around the General Mountain, there is a lot of demand for the test of new equipment, so the Ministry of Industry and the military have jointly formulated strict test methods and standards, including casting, target detection must comply with a fixed process, even if there is an urgent situation, it must be in accordance with the regulations to prevent accidents.

After all, this General Mountain is the largest workshop in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the location of the research workshop of various new equipment, once there is any accident, it is likely to directly affect the production of all kinds of equipment in the entire General Mountain, and then affect the needs of the Ming Dynasty's combat garrison in all directions, such a sin even Guo Shoujing, the Ministry of Works, can not afford it, let alone the officials and craftsmen of the lower grades of the General Mountain. Therefore, everything in the entire Jiangjun Mountain is based on quality assurance, and then expand the output on top of it, which is also Ye Yingwu's most important requirement for the Jiangjun Mountain Workshop and the Ministry of Industry.

And today, His Majesty personally came to General Mountain, and the entire shooting range did not dare to slack off.

The target was skillfully disassembled and lifted to the viewing platform, looking at the target, Ye Yingwu squinted his eyes and didn't say anything, while Zhang Shun and Wu Chucai took a breath of cool air, this humanoid target can no longer see its original appearance, its head has been directly cut off, not to mention, there are two big holes in the chest, it is conceivable that if this is hit on a person, then this person may have been torn apart.

Guo Shoujing pointed to the firearms on the shooting range and said: "This is one of the latest firearms developed by the Ministry of Industry - multi-eyed guns, because the production requirements are relatively high, and I don't dare to ensure whether it can be successful just developed, so this one only has three eyes, but the workshop is already trying to make four-eyed guns, from now on, the cost of this multi-eyed guns is lower than the production of several guns alone." ”

There is no need for Guo Shoujing to introduce more, Zhang Shun and Wu Chucai, who were born in the military and are also long-term generals on the battlefield, naturally know what the effect of this firearm is. It may be a bit wasteful to kill a few people with the Three-Eyed Gun, but in the face of the dense Mongol cavalry coming like a tide, there is a high chance that the Three-Eyed Gun will knock out three people with a single shot, and the operation can be completed quickly with only two people - one to reload and one to cast - which is more quickly than saving one person from three single-eyed firearms. In addition, when attacking the city, it is also possible to use fewer people to suppress the city.

Ye Yingwu nodded: "Very good, but this firearm doesn't need to be invested too much, the three eyes are actually enough, if you have more, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry." ”

Of course, there is another reason that Ye Yingwu did not say, that is, the guns used by the Ming army now are actually only the most primitive muskets, that is, they are more stable than the assault rifles installed by the Song army at that time.

This is also why in another time and space, European and American countries need to line up neatly to fight, just to be able to pull out a barrage, try their best to avoid being accidentally injured by their own family members and kill each other, rather than a simple gentleman's duel.

However, fortunately, the current opponent of the Ming army still uses a large-scale group charge, so even if the fire gun is fired indiscriminately, it can still achieve good results. With the gradual improvement of firearms, the emergence of breech-loading guns and the transformation of bullets from iron balls to real bullets, soldiers can use firearms to aim and shoot.

At that time, the multi-eyed guns that rely entirely on intensive shooting will naturally no longer be suitable, and in the history that Ye Yingwu is familiar with, it is not without the appearance of magical three-barreled or even multi-barreled firearms, but the accuracy of this kind of firearm is not high - it is very likely that the enemy is in the middle of several barrels - and it is a waste of ammunition, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Ye Yingwu asked the Ministry of Industry to create a multi-eyed gun, mainly to make up for the lack of the Ming army that can only rely on ordinary firearms at close range, and does not plan to use it as a long-term firearm, after all, Ye Yingwu knows that from the popularization of breech guns to the emergence of breech guns, the Europeans themselves have been groping for a hundred years, and now with Ye Yingwu's more or less explicit and implicit, it will not take long for the Ministry of Industry to break through the shackles in the middle and create modern firearms in the true sense.

The main function of the multi-eye gun is to make up for the time difference in the middle as a transitional product.

Hearing Ye Yingwu's command, Guo Shoujing hurriedly wrote it down in person, if he was only skeptical of Ye Yingwu's instructions before, then after experiencing the research and development process of these new firearms, he had already taken Ye Yingwu's words as a guideline, not to mention that it seemed that ・・・・・・ Ming Emperor Chrysostom, what he said was originally a holy decree, right?

"Lift it up!" Guo Shoujing waved his hand, and the three-eyed gun was lifted down, and it was a new type of firearm that was brought up, and compared to the previous multi-eyed gun, which was actually the size of three firearms, this guy was larger, and the barrel looked quite slender, which was in stark contrast to the stubby firearm.

And Ye Yingwu was also interested all of a sudden, and his eyes looked straight at this firearm. The three-eyed gun just now was enough to shock Zhang Shun and Wu Chucai and others, but His Majesty was very calm about it, so that several people couldn't help but feel that they and His Majesty were really not on the same level, and now seeing that His Majesty's expression had also changed, Zhang Shun and the others were even more interested, and they couldn't wait to step forward to touch this strange-looking firearm first.

"Lianzhu?" Ye Yingwu saw the origin of this firearm at first sight, after all, the rough drawings were drawn by Guo Shoujing, and it was impossible to say that there was no impression.

"It's Lianzhu!" Guo Shoujing nodded and replied, and immediately made an apologetic gesture, "Your Majesty, your lords, this Lianzhu has just been manufactured, and today is only the second test, please take a few steps back to avoid any accidents." ”

Looking at this firearm that is not small, but its appearance is not good, and even some ugly firearms, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "I don't have to retreat, just stand here and watch, the sabers and arrows of the Mongolian Tartars didn't ask for my head, so could they still be taken away by their own firearms?" ”

Guo Shoujing suddenly showed a wry smile, Ye Yingwu took the lead and did not leave, Zhang Shun and Wu Chucai, who were about to "look through the autumn water", naturally had no intention of retreating, and everyone's faces clearly said "If you don't squeeze forward, you will give you face".

"Put!" The soldier standing next to the firearm waved the order flag violently, and as this sound fell, the firearm erupted with a continuous sound, Ye Yingwu's expression moved, and the joy on his face was difficult to hide, and Wu Chucai and the others were even more jaws about to fall.

Because they clearly saw that this firearm was constantly spitting out tongues of fire, and now the firearms installed on the first line of the Ming Dynasty were all single-shot, and people needed to step back and reload after each launch.

Even the most skilled veteran would have spent enough time to cast the Torch twice. Therefore, whether it is a land division general like Wu Chucai or a sailor general like Zhang Shun, they naturally understand what the appearance of this kind of firearm means.

It means that when the Ming army attacks or defends the enemy, it does not need to line up with gunners to take turns firing and reloading, which can make the firepower suddenly double.

"Smack!" With a soft sound, the firearm that continuously spouted the tongue of fire finally stopped, and Ye Yingwu, who had been holding clairvoyance to stare at the firearm, turned his gaze to the target in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "A total of twenty-five rounds, which is very good." ”

Twenty-five rounds are equivalent to twenty-five individual firearms, and the surrounding generals gasped, such uninterrupted firepower means that as long as the distance is enough, even one soldier can compete against ten enemies, and if there is an advantage in terrain and so on, it is definitely not a lie!

Guo Shoujing, Deng Mu and other officials of the Ministry of Industry also breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty was not very satisfied with the three-eyed gun, and suddenly made them feel the pressure on their shoulders, but fortunately, this Lianzhu gun was finally angry. Ye Yingwu didn't wait for Guo Shoujing and the others to say more, and went straight to the Lianzhu gun that was still there.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor coming over in person, several soldiers hurriedly stood up and saluted, looking at these soldiers who could be said to be risking their lives to operate new firearms, Ye Yingwu said with a smile: "Yes, you guys are brave enough, and you have a lot of rewards!" ”

"Dare to die for Your Majesty!" Several soldiers shouted excitedly.

And Ye Yingwu picked up this bead gun, gently rubbed the still hot barrel and gun body, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. If the multi-eyed gun is the ancestor of the Gatling cannon in later generations, then this Lianzhu gun should be regarded as the originator of the single-barreled machine gun, in another time and space, once upon a time, Huaxia and this kind of firearm are only a stone's throw away, that genius Dai Zi has even studied a Lianzhu gun that can fire twenty-eight rounds in a row, which is more powerful than the one in Ye Yingwu's hands, but it is a pity that the cost of this new firearm was too high at that time, coupled with the short-sightedness of the emperor of the current dynasty, it was lost.

Many, many years later, when machine guns were rampant on the battlefield and even dominated trench warfare in World War I, the Eastern Empire did not realize how close it was to such a powerful electro gun.

And now, Ye Yingwu is holding a Lianzhu gun in his hand, which can definitely be said to be the most advanced firearm in the entire era, and he is full of emotion. After all, he still brought what he lost in another world for this country and this nation, and there are more and more things that have been lost, and Ye Yingwu will bring them little by little.

"Your Majesty, about this firearm, the minister still needs to report it," Guo Shoujing watched Ye Yingwu carefully open the magazine that was integrated with the butt, and said with some unspeakability, "According to His Majesty's suggestion, this kind of Lianzhu gun takes the way of providing gunpowder and bullets behind the butt, but now the equipment in our workshop has not been able to produce a reliable gun body, and this finished product is the only one successful among the more than ten samples tried, so this means that the cost is ・・・・・・."

"How many good and cheap things can there be in the world?" Ye Yingwu said with a smile, handed this Lianzhu gun to Wu Chucai, who had long been eager to try, and stood with his hands in his hands, "The production of the gun body is not good, and it should not have much to do with the material of the gun body, but now through the way of hammering, there is no way to get a tight enough gun body, once the flowing qi outside enters through the gap, this will naturally go wrong." ”

Guo Shoujing, Deng Mu, Zhou Mi and the craftsmen who were surrounded by a circle with their ears pricked up, their eyes were all bright, and Guo Shoujing looked at Ye Yingwu with some doubts: "Your Majesty is sure?" ”

This is definitely not a trivial matter, even if Ye Yingwu said that he swears it, Guo Shoujing has to confirm it.

Ye Yingwu nodded, he naturally knew this, because there was no steam engine in this era, so the original breech gun produced was naturally easy to explode, and only by compacting the steel with a hammer driven by a steam engine could the air tightness be completely improved, instead of relying on luck to find a success among more than a dozen failures.

Looking at Guo Shoujing and the others who were deep in thought, Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow Guo Qing's family, you will take the people present today to my imperial study, and I will talk to you about ways to improve." Don't you still have good things, take them out now so that I and my generals can see enough! ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Guo Shoujing came back to his senses all of a sudden, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and patronized himself to think about it, how to put His Majesty aside!

Ye Yingwu nodded and followed Guo Shoujing forward. And after seeing these three-eyed guns and Lianzhu guns, generals such as Wu Chucai and Zhang Shun, who already had high expectations for new firearms, could not hide the excitement and expectation on their faces, and the little reserve they had had had long since disappeared. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a general who doesn't want to use good equipment is not a good general.

Everyone knows that the Ministry of Industry is the best at creating miracles, as early as the Battle of Xiangyang, the flying thunder cannon they invented played a role in turning the tide and even saying that it was the winner of the First World War, and then the Ming Dynasty on the road to the southern and northern wars, it was indispensable to help the Ministry of Industry. And now seeing these two new firearms, these generals also realize how much of a surprise this time has brought them.

And what kind of bigger surprise will it be if it can be placed after the three-eyed gun and the bead gun?

Ye Yingwu followed Guo Shoujing through the workshop unhurriedly, he was obviously mentally prepared, so he didn't rush away, but set his eyes on the workshop. According to Ye Yingwu's previous suggestions and plans, at this time, the workshops in Jiangjun Mountain and the rest of Daming were all unified to adopt assembly line production, and Guo Shoujing also specially dispatched some officials from the Ministry of Industry to take a team of craftsmen to study hydraulic equipment.

This is also Ye Yingwu's helpless move, after all, now that people are needed everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the imperial court or the Ministry of Industry itself, there is no way to allocate enough manpower to explore and study more advanced equipment such as steam engines, but when it comes to assembly line production, many places are not controlled by artificial, for example, the body of the Lianzhu gun just now, if it is only by manual hammering, I am afraid that one or two of the hundred pieces may not be usable. Ye Yingwu came up with the help of hydraulic equipment.

Ye Yingwu is familiar with history books and is very aware of the industrial production technology of this era. Because in the manufacture of large-scale processes such as sea vessels, it is difficult to meet some needs by manual labor, and in the absence of other large-scale instruments to rely on, the Southern Song Dynasty people themselves groped to make a lot of hydraulic equipment, even including precision hydraulic clocks, so as to assist in production, time correction and so on, and Ye Yingwu also had an interest in these instruments when he was in school, and felt that they were exquisite and complex, but unfortunately with the subsequent war, most of the production methods of these instruments have been lost, There are only two or three that can be restored in the next life, and it is only the simplest kind, which makes Ye Yingwu feel regretful.

And now that he is at the end of the Song Dynasty, he has also redeemed the tilt of the sky, and these hydraulic equipment will naturally have a place to use, and in the absence of a steam engine, it is better to replace pure manpower. What's more, this is Jiangnan, Jiangnan has to say the most, of course, it is water, which is perfect for the use of these hydraulic equipment.

So when he saw the huge hydraulic equipment in the workshop in front of him, which was high enough for trebuchets, Ye Yingwu nodded slightly.
