Zhang Zhang was a little impatient: "Mizhi, bring it to me quickly!" ”

Fang Yizhi walked quickly to Zhang Zhang and opened the box: "My lord, this revolver has been tested, and the effect is quite good!" ”

Yes, this big killer is the predecessor of the revolver, the revolver flintlock pistol!

Zhang Li is not satisfied with importing advanced weapons from Germany and other Western countries, as a person who travels through, he knows too many modern weapons, and any time and space is put into this time and space, it is a terrifying weapon of great destruction.

It's a pity that he only knows what weapons are, but he doesn't know how they are made. Even if you know, you can't build it with the technology and craftsmanship of Tuanshan Fort now.

Zhang Li had no choice but to describe the styles and most basic principles of some relatively simple weapons to Fang Yizhi and his German technicians to see if they could make them.

In fact, many inventions and creations are not difficult to really make, but the most difficult thing is how to think of them.

Take this flintlock revolver as an example, Zhang Zhang just said a rough idea, Fang Yizhi was like a treasure, and it only took half a month to trial produce the first one. In the next two months, the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal produced a full twenty more!

The flintlock revolver is based on the existing self-generated gun, with a shortened barrel length, a smaller caliber, and six gun-shaped guns at the interface between the gun tube and the powder pool.

That is to say, six small-caliber guns correspond to a powder pool.

For each shot, you need to turn the gun tube by hand so that the next gun tube is aimed at the next powder pool.

This is the tension revolver flintlock pistol, which is still very different from the revolvers of later generations.

First of all, it still belongs to the front-loading gun, after all, the rear-loading gun is the technology two hundred years later. It is impossible to develop the tension of the mercury required for a primer at this stage.

Moreover, later revolvers turned magazines. The flintlock pistol, on the other hand, rotates the barrel, and the former is obviously smaller and more convenient. However, due to technical limitations, it is already good to be able to make a handcuff that turns the barrel.

The prototype revolver still can't fire continuously, and you have to turn it by hand.

There are two key points here.

First of all, if you have a front-loading gun, you have to reload after one shot, but this is not the case with the tension-designed revolver.

Since the gun tube is very miniatial, the projectile is also specially made. Each tube is loaded with lead bullets in advance, and then the projectiles are stuck in the innermost part of the barrel with grease and deerskin.

In other words, the projectile does not fall out, because it is sealed in the bottom of the barrel by a small piece of deerskin.

When the powder pool is ignited. The huge kinetic energy shoots the projectile and the deerskin together, and the projectile naturally goes to the target, and the deerskin will also disintegrate in the air.

The second is the setting of the powder pool with segmented dosing.

When the gun tube is turned, a special valve will also be rotated, and the powder magazine attached to the powder pool will be filled with enough gunpowder for this firing.

Of course, the biggest drawback is that the revolver turns six times in a row, and after all the six projectiles are beaten, the revolver is basically a burning stick.

After all, reload the six-round projectile and add gunpowder to the powder magazine. It takes a lot of time. However, Zhang Li didn't think about this problem at all, he only needed the revolver to be able to shoot six projectiles in a short time.

This flintlock revolver has a much faster rate of fire than a bow and arrow. Shooting an arrow requires a series of actions such as drawing the arrow, pulling the arrow, buckling the string, opening the bow, and taking off the string, and no matter how skilled the archer is, it will take about ten to twenty seconds to shoot an arrow. And the flintlock revolver only needs to be loaded with ammunition in advance. Fire one shot, flick the wheel, and fire another shot. The gap between the two shots was only three to five seconds, in a short period of close range. It is enough to suppress bows and arrows in terms of rate of fire, not to mention hand-to-hand combat weapons such as swords.

If you use it on the battlefield, it needs to be improved. After all, the caliber is small, the charge is insufficient, the range of killing is not good, and it can only shoot six rounds in a short time.

Tension had long been thought out of the first users of the revolver, and it wasn't intended for use on the battlefield.

Looking at the revolver in the box, Zhang Zhang couldn't help but get a little excited.

How much I want to get a rear-loading gun, or even Makqin, but it is easier said than done, and a little technological improvement also involves the entire industrial system.

The Tuanshan Fort Arsenal is said to be an arsenal, but it is actually just a large-scale handicraft workshop.

Rome was not built in a day, and even more so with the construction of the industrial system.

It seems that the next step is to start bringing in a large number of scientific research talents.

Thinking of scientific research talents, Zhang Zhang suddenly remembered something, put down the revolver in his hand, and the other party said with wisdom: "Mizhi, Tuanshan Fort will have a seven-grade experience recently, the name is Song Yingxing, you will listen to his command in the future." ”

Fang Yizhi was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Experience? Song Yingxing? ”

Zhang Zhang nodded: "Yes, Song has a great talent, and I am afraid that his Western attainments will surpass you!" He is a lifter, so the official gave him a position with seven grades of experience. ”

It stands to reason that Fang Yizhi is just a talent, and it is impossible to be an official. However, Zhang Li can even arrange the position of chief bookkeeper Ge Ximeng, and there is no problem at all to arrange Fang Yizhi.

Zhang Zhang also asked before, Fang Yizhi said that he didn't want to be an official, he liked to be a "factory director" - Zhang Zhang is not easy to be strong.

Now Fang Yizhi heard that Zhang Zhang arranged for a top boss to come over, but he didn't say anything, but he was not very convinced in his heart.

Zhang Zhang took Fang Yizhi's expression into his eyes, and said with a smile: "Song will know if you contact him, his talent is greater than yours!" Secretly, it is necessary to know that there are people outside the world, and there is a truth outside the sky. ”

Fang Yizhi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have been taught." After Song's experience came, his subordinates must be the first to look forward to him. ”

Zhang Zhang nodded, and told Fang Yizhi about importing sulfur and saltpeter from the Zheng family, and then left the Tuanshan Fort Arsenal.

……

Wood has been practicing shooting guns lately, not with self-fired guns, but with revolvers.

Master Zhang selected the best five people from the pro-soldier team, the musket team, the cavalry team, and the scout team, and together formed a mixed escort group of twenty people.

In the words of Master Zhang, this group must have the ability to cope with various situations.

For example, the five members of the pro-soldier team are all martial arts, and they play with knives, guns and sticks;

The musketeers are naturally veterans who are very accurate in shooting;

The cavalry team seems to be a person with high riding skills, I am afraid that in addition to needing them to ride a horse and kill them, they also need them to escort Lord Zhang on horseback at some time;

And the five members of the scout team are naturally doing some work of roosters and dogs, in the words of Master Zhang, called scouts......

At the end of the day's training, Wood returned to his room in the Musket Barracks.

However, before he could sit down and make a cup of tea, the pimple and the big cow came to the door.

As soon as the pimple walked into the room, he smiled and said, "Ouch, Brother Mu, how did you just finish training?" ”

The wood glared at him, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, just say it, and let it go if you have a fart." ”

He sat down on the chair with a pimple, and said flatteringly: "Brother Wood, can you lend your revolver to me and the big cow?" ”

Da Niu also looked at the wood with a blank eye, and echoed: "Brother wood, we just want to see the new weapons!" ”

Mu touched his nose and said lightly: "The revolver was sent to me during training, and after the training was completed, it was personally taken away by Captain Wan of the Living Yama of the teaching team." ”

After the pimple and the big cow said "oh", they showed a look of disappointment.

Mu Tou smiled and said: "I told you to train hard all the time, and you don't like to listen to it, who is to blame if you are not selected this time?" ”

The pimple said stupidly: "Brother Mu, how can I compare with Da Niu and you?" ”

Mu Tou looked dumbfounded, glanced at the pimple and the big cow, and said a little mysteriously: "I guess this time I set up this mixed guard team, I'm afraid it's not for the purpose of fighting......

Da Niu sneered: "Brother Mu, aren't you talking nonsense?" What kind of battle did the twenty fight? It must be some special task. ”

The wood is a little embarrassed, it seems that the big cow is not stupid!

Mu Tou remembered something and said solemnly: "I'm afraid I'm really going to leave Tuanshan Fort to carry out a mission, you two do me a favor." ”

The pimple and the big cow's eyes lit up, yo, Brother Mu is still begging?

Looking at the demeanor of these two living treasures, Mu immediately pulled his face down: "Hmm, this is an order!" I order you to help me watch the little lady. ”

As soon as he heard this, Da Niu immediately slapped his chest loudly: "Brother Mu, don't worry, Sister Yingzi is the only one in her heart, who in our musket team doesn't know?" I'm afraid that some rifle team or scout team hairy boys will harass my sister-in-law, if I see it, I will directly pick their skin! ”

Pimple also echoed: "I also have the same mind, swear to protect my sister-in-law!" ”

The wood smiled, and the pimple and the big cow's expressions immediately became a little closer.

Seeing that the opportunity was good, Pimple immediately came up: "Brother Mu, can you talk to Sister Yingzi about ......?"

Wood pouted: "What are you talking about?" ”

The pimple laughed dryly, and he fell to the ground: "Last time I was sick and went to the Tuanshan Fort Hospital, I saw that a little lady in the nurse team looked quite standard, it seemed that she was called Bai Zhi ......"

When Da Niu heard this, he immediately said in a hurry: "Pimple! How dare you kid find a daughter-in-law before me?! ”

Mu waved his hand and glared at Da Niu: "Is it so strange that men should get married and women should get married?" ”

Mu looked at the pimple on his red face, smiled, and said loudly: "Pimple, leave this matter to my brother." I'll talk to Yingzi first, and see what the situation of that little lady is. But there is one thing I said in front, this matter can't be rushed, everything is up to your sister Yingzi's arrangement! ”

The pimple was overjoyed, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "Okay! I must listen to Sister Yingzi! Brother Wood is mighty! (To be continued......)
