Renault has seen the failed works of Zhangtan, which is as much as a pack cart. The work of research and experiment is really not done by people, Zhang Tan, a fifth-level fitter, has not received any modern education, and with the guidance of Renault, he can do the work to this extent, and he is worthy of the title of Dachu God Craftsman.

"Have you tried it?" asked Renault, the barrel of which was not of any quality from its appearance alone.

"I've tried it, and the charge of fifteen or twenty grams is fine, but if it exceeds twenty grams, there is a danger of exploding within ten shots. "When Zhang Tan talks about gunpowder guns, he is the head of the road, and he is the head of rifle development. The units of measurement used were all taught by Renault.

The God of Wealth has this benefit, through the God of Wealth, the exact unit can be deduced. This unit standard is only used in the craftsman camp of the Shengong Temple, and Renault is not ready to promote it to the Great Chu World, which will take a long time.

Human habits are very difficult to change, especially this kind of unit of measurement that will be applied to people's livelihood, it is very troublesome to change, so Renault will not do thankless troublesome things.

"Have you tried range and ballistics?" Renault continued.

"With the cork buckshot you are talking about, the range can reach eight hundred steps. The trajectory is straight, the accuracy is very high within a hundred steps, it is acceptable within two hundred steps, and it is difficult to say beyond three hundred steps. As soon as the results of the experiment were mentioned, Zhang Tan was extremely excited.

In fact, this range is not so exaggerated, Da Chu's 'step' is very similar to the 'meter' given by Mr., not much different.

Da Chu has long-range weapons such as foot bows, foot crossbows, rhubarb crossbows, and bed crossbows. The worst infantry bow can also have an effective range of 30 steps, and the crossbow has amazing lethality within 60 steps, and can penetrate a heavy infantry armor, including bamboo armor and leather armor.

The big yellow crossbow is powerful, it is large, at least four people operate it at the same time, and the range can reach one hundred and twenty steps, penetrating three layers of infantry armor.

As for the bed crossbow, it is divided into infantry bed crossbows, cavalry bed crossbows, and city defense bed crossbows, the worst infantry bed crossbows, the range can also reach two hundred steps, and it needs animal power to wind and fire with a wooden hammer, and no kind of armor can stop it. Not to mention A, not to mention heavy shields.

The most powerful bed crossbow has a terrifying range of up to 400 paces, which refers to the effective range, and if you let the spear-like crossbow arrows fly freely, it is not uncommon to shoot a thousand steps.

In terms of power alone, Mr. is studying this kind of thing called a rifle, the power can only be regarded as average in the bow and crossbow, the problem is that it is a single weapon, and it is light in weight and has a high frequency of shooting, according to the design requirements, it can reach at least two rounds a minute, which is faster than the rhubarb crossbow and only slightly slower than the rifle crossbow.

And its power is almost as powerful as the infantry's small bed crossbow, which is quite powerful. Think about the trouble of using the bed crossbow, transportation, loading and unloading, pre-war preparation, these are all put together and compared, then the gap is huge.

"Very well, how is the flintlock device being studied?" Renault continued.

"That thing is easy to handle, much easier than the barrel, it has already been done, and now it is the fourth generation of flintlock launchers. Zhang Tan said proudly.

Renault nodded, Zhang Tan was right, compared with the barrel, the technical content of the flintlock device is indeed very low, the first generation of flintlock device was made by Renault, the firing pin hit the flint, that thing can't be used yet, Renault just told Zhang Tan the idea of the flint device, let the craftsman battalion research better by himself.

"How's the progress of the fixed ammunition?" Renault continued.

"Thirty thousand rounds have been prepared. Zhang Tan is even more proud, in order to research a faster and better small bullet production line, Zhang Tan has spent a lot of thought, and now it is finally available. The speed is not too fast, ten craftsmen can only produce 1,000 rounds of paper shell fixed ammunition a day.

"What's the problem now?" Renault was also a little excited, originally he wasn't very interested in the flintlock pistol, but the martial artist of Da Chu shocked him too much, and he felt that the flintlock pistol was not very useful.

But the Austrians came, and Renault had to prepare. How long does it take to train a useful warrior? How long does it take to make a good musketeer, and the difference is huge.

If Renault was given twenty years, or even ten years, he would prefer to find a way to train a large number of martial artists, but he didn't have ten years at all, maybe not even five years.

It is a long process for a martial artist to go from the beginning to the seventh grade, and there are too many uncertainties in the middle, and there are too many resources that need to be consumed.

A seven-rank martial artist, and a flintlock pistol, it is difficult to say who is stronger, in the analysis of the God of Wealth, at most half a catty and eight taels, on par. With such a result, it is not difficult to see which side Renault's development direction should lean.

"Springs, it's too hard to get, and the pass rate is very low. The barrel can already be considered for mass production, but the output of the spring, I'm afraid it can't keep up with the barrel. Zhang Tan sighed and said.

In the past year, Zhang Tan has tackled countless problems, and even the old and difficult problem of barrel materials has been almost solved, but the spring still makes him helpless. Until now, there are only three craftsmen under his command, including himself, who can produce qualified springs, and not every time they can make qualified springs.

"Then go ahead and figure it out, you have someone bring the parts over, and I'll assemble a few and try it. Renault said.

"Yes. Zhang Tan answered, got out of the car and went back to the craftsman camp.

Reynaud allocated fifty pack wagons to the artisan battalion, which were used as mobile workshops, and no matter how difficult the convoy was, it would not delay their work. Don't look at the fact that for more than a year, the convoy has almost been on the road, but the work of the artisan battalion has not stopped.

As soon as Zhang Tan left, Mo Xiang came to report: "Sir, Miss Lan asks to see you." ”

Blue girl?Renault's mind turned, and he realized that Mo Xiang was talking about Lan Yunxi, the great leader of Liuyun. This girl's presence in the team is not very strong, it's not that she is not good enough, it's because Renault has always been uneasy about Liuyun, although the number of people in this team is small, the strength is the strongest, and the all-martial soldiers are much more powerful than the desert remnants under Jing Lan.

When Liuyun was taken in at the beginning, Renault made it very clear that Liuyun could only be a peripheral member for the time being, not a person from the Divine Crafts Temple.

Lan Yunxi is very sensible, since Mr. is unwilling to accept it, the entire Liuyun has become very low-key, and after several battles, Liuyun is ready for battle, but it is only used as a reserve. Because the war was going well, Jing Lan didn't use them.

In fact, Lan Yunxi's ability is very strong, the base camp is also in Nanzhang, and the people behind the rainforest are almost unable to eat, but the people Liuyun are fragrant and spicy.

Lan Yunxi's vision is also much higher than that of the rainforest people, she can see that the situation of Da Chu is not very good, and in the case of Liuyun mixing, she is willing to merge the entire Liuyun into the Shengong Temple, and prepare for the arrival of difficult times in the future, first hug a thick thigh.

On the other hand, looking at the rainforest, they can't eat, and they are not willing to accept Yuxi's kindness, and the group of cattle looks down on Renault and the Shengong Temple at all. Even Ruan Ling, who has a good vision and ability, also played a game of selling her body for food.

"Ask her to come in. ”

Lan Yunxi is the first time to get on Renault's RV, everything is new, she has seen extraordinary, but she can't even think of such an RV.

"Hello, sir, please. ”

"Well, what's wrong with Miss Blue?" asked Renault.

"Yes, please ask for your permission. This place is about 2,600 miles away from the Liuyun Base Camp, can I use your map?" Lan Yunxi asked.

Renaud nodded, and glanced at Lan Yunxi curiously, this girl didn't want to say the location of the Liuyun base camp before, but she didn't care about safety at this time?

After seeing the magic and powerful combat power of the Shengong Palace, Lan Yunxi was even more determined to merge into the Shengong Palace, and this time she wanted to bring all the family members in the base camp into the team.

"Sir, Liuyun is here, and there are more than a thousand old and young people in our base camp. Yunxi asked Mr. for permission to pick them up in the convoy. Lan Yunxi said.

Looking at the location on the map, Renault frowned, it is difficult to walk in the rainforest, more than a thousand old and young, it is a pure burden, and the location is also a little off, if it is to connect the old and young, the convoy needs to detour, at least a thousand miles more.

If it is in the southwest golden ancient road, a thousand miles is nothing, at most ten days, but in the Nanzhang rainforest, it is good to walk in a month.

"Sir, there is food in the Liuyun Base Camp, enough for a thousand people to eat for three years, and from here, there is a road for pack carts to walk. "Lan Yunxi is letting go this time, she must bring Liuyun to join the Divine Gong Palace.

The tentacles of the Austrians have penetrated deep into Jinchuan, although it is only a small force, but who knows how strong the penetration of the Austrians will be in Nanzhang in the next few years?

The status of the Liuyun base camp is relatively partial, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Aons in a short time, but Liuyun has food, but it is easy to attract the attention of others.

What's more, after Nanzhang is messed up, even if Liuyun can work hard outside to get money and food, how to send it back to the base camp will become very troublesome.

"Are you sure there's a way here?" asked Renault, surprised.

The shabby place of Nanzhang has too much influence on the God of Wealth, and it is not a shade like the Heaven Covering Stone, the dense rainforest canopy is more troublesome than the Heaven Covering Stone, unless a precise scan is carried out, otherwise a road only a few meters wide is hidden in the dense forest, and it is easy to ignore it when looking down from the sky.

"The path, which we drove ourselves, grows new grass every year, and is half a person tall enough to walk on the road. Lan Yunxi said with certainty, in order to open up this road that was not a road, the ancestors of Liuyun tried their best.

It is not difficult to find a place to live in Nanzhang, but it is not difficult to transport food into the base camp as soon as possible.

The food for three years for a thousand people is indeed not a small amount in Nanzhang, but if you think about it carefully, it is not too much, there are thousands of people in the Shengong Palace, and after receiving this thousand old and young, it is almost 10,000 people, ten times the consumption, Renault hesitated whether it was worth a trip.

"In addition to food, there is also an endless supply of white cloth, which is natural, as long as you dig in the ground. Lan Yunxi saw Renault's hesitation and continued to increase the weight.

"The cloth dug out of the ground?" Renault sounded fresh, the cloth can also be dug out of the ground, the Great Chu World is amazing.
