Doudou held his reluto gun, holding a piece of cloth dipped in lard in his hand and constantly wiping the barrel and trigger.

His face was still covered with a thick veil - the half of his face that had been burned by gunpowder last time was not yet completely healed, and it was growing new flesh, but that didn't stop him from time to time from putting the Lumi gun on the uninjured half of his face.

A total of three test-firing ballistas were carried out, and the first time was a pure black fire * charge charge, and the effect was naturally needless to say.

The second time he used the "prefabricated fragment warhead" that Childe said, Doudou didn't understand what it meant, but he found that the fireball of this explosion was smaller than the first time, and he thought that Childe had made a mistake - the powerful "cannonball" was not used, but should he use this less powerful one?

When the "Dawn" docked, and Childe led everyone to the place where the ballista exploded, Doudou knew that he was mistaken, and saw that the trunks of the trees within two feet around the explosion point were densely filled with broken porcelain pieces, small thistles, small stones, etc., and Doudou couldn't help but shrink his neck - fortunately, there were woods all around, if it was a crowd, who else could stand within a radius of two feet?

The third launch of the ballista made everyone even more dumbfounded, and the "incendiary bomb" used this time, Doudou knew from the name that it was used to burn things.

Sure enough, after the crisp sound of the bowstring, the thick crossbow bolt flew towards a bare beach with a little spark, and after the explosion exploded, it left three pools of raging flames - it was burned out of the fierce fire oil, and the pillars were filled with fierce fire oil with fish bladders, and each hollow arrow was filled with two or three, and then stuffed with black fire* medicine, and the whole process was seen by Doudou.

The "incendiary bomb" made that Tsunazaburo scratch his ears and cheeks happily, and kept asking questions about the son, while Doudou and the others landed on the uninhabited island again under the leadership of Liu Ergongzi and began to test fire the Lu Mi gun.

The injury of that night made Doudou and even everyone in the escort team have a huge fear of the firecracker, and now although they have replaced it with this much more delicate looking Lumi gun, everyone still cowers, for fear that they will repeat the mistake of Doudou.

Under the strict order of the second son, Doudou took his first platoon to fire carefully, and everyone pinned their faces to the side, for fear that the gunpowder would explode again, and after the three shots, the lead did not know where to fly.

After the fire, Doudou found a difference, compared with the bird guns bought in Dengzhou, the tail of this Lumi gun can hardly see the leaking smoke, and even can't smell much of the unique smell of black fire* after burning.

This made Doudou regain his confidence in the gun, and in the next few test shots, he even dared to stick his cheek raiser on the butt of Lu Mi's crooked gun, and use the lookout mountain on the gun to aim.

"This is the original Turkish shipment," Chu Fan then went ashore - he finally answered all the questions about the ballista - and said to the escort team as he checked the Lu Mi gun in his hand, "We have checked it many times, and the quality is very good, so you don't have to worry about blowing it up again." ”

After saying that, he quickly loaded and ignited the fire with his hands and feet, put the butt of the gun on his shoulder, aimed at an old tree a hundred paces away, and pulled the trigger.

After a muffled sound of "bang", thick white smoke came out of Lu Mi's mouth, Chu Fan couldn't wait for the white smoke to dissipate, and quickly ran to the old tree to check, looking up and down for a long time, Leng didn't find the gun hole, it seemed that he was off target.

Chu Fan looked at the front of the old tree that was so wide that the two of them couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the smoothbore gun really didn't have the right head, even the best Lu Mi gun in this era!

If you want to have an accurate head, you have to draw the rifling of the gun, but if you pull the rifling, how to load the bullet is a problem - the lead is stabbed into it with a pusher lever, and if it is replaced with a rifled barrel, what will happen to the size of the lead?

Mini Gun!

These three words flashed through Chu Fan's mind at once, yes, it is the Minnie gun, the only front-loading rifled gun in the era of black fire in history!

This rifle that appeared in the nineteenth century was named because of the special Mini bullet, the caliber of the Mini bullet is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the rifled gun, the projectile is full of cone, the bottom is concave, and it is filled with cork, and the cork is stressed when firing, and the lead bullet is filled with the chamber, which makes the explosive force of gunpowder all act on the projectile, so that the speed of its discharge is greatly improved, and the rifling ensures that the accuracy of shooting is much greater than that of the smoothbore gun, which greatly changes the form of war in land warfare.

It's a pity that this gun was born at the wrong time, and it was discovered soon after its invention, and soon the breech-loading rifle appeared, which far surpassed the Minnie gun in terms of rate of fire, and the latter was eliminated as a matter of course.

Just as Chu Fan was pondering, Liu Zhongwen also rushed to his side with the escort team, and when they saw him standing still, everyone stood quietly with him.

Although the Mini gun is good, it is built on the industrial foundation that has gradually taken shape in France in the nineteenth century, and now it is the seventeenth century, and the Chinese blacksmiths are still striking, sledgehammer iron, where is the industrial base? Want to build a Minnie gun? Dream on!

However, what Chu Fan thinks now is that he doesn't need to produce them in large quantities, and it is still possible to make such a hundred and ten mini guns by hand - one hundred and ten are enough to equip the escort team.

Rifling can be solved by rolling layers of iron sheets on the mold; Mini bullets, on the other hand, can be stamped out with a hydraulic punch. As long as the dimensional error is controlled, it is entirely possible to produce Minnie guns in small quantities.

Right! When I returned to Dengzhou this time, I had to find a way to recruit blacksmiths and carpenters to test the Mini gun - as a traverser, Chu Fan was very afraid of death, and after he had money, he was even more afraid of death, so anything that could increase the strength of himself and his subordinates Chu Fan would definitely have to try it.

As for how much it costs to test the mini gun, with fairy grass cigarettes, is money still a problem?

Moreover, Tsunasaburo's impatient appearance just now made Chu Fan believe that after adding black fire* medicine, he would not necessarily earn less than fairy grass cigarettes!

It took a long time for Chu Fan to wake up from his contemplation, looked at the guards who were silent around him, and smiled apologetically, "I want to get distracted...... Everyone has also experienced the power of the Lumi Gun firsthand, and I would like to say that when the weapon is good, it needs to be maintained. ”

As he spoke, he took out a small bag of lard and showed everyone how to use cloth to oil various parts of Lu Mi Gong.

"The gun has been issued to you," Chu Fan said with a straight face, "This is your second life, if you don't know how to maintain it, it will kill you at a critical time!" …… Ugly words in the head, if you find that someone's gun is not properly maintained and rusty, twenty military sticks! …… If you can't get out of bed then, don't blame me for not reminding you! ”

His words made everyone in the escort team nervous, so when they returned to the voyage, everyone was like Doudou, holding Lu Mi Gong and wiping it repeatedly.

After the "Dawn" docked at the dock, Chu Fan and Tsunazaburo said goodbye and led everyone back to Hoshitori Villa, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Yan Ruxue leading her little steamed bun butterfly to greet her.

"Badass, come on, come on, and see what I've found!"
