Chapter 224 Inspection of the Firearms Research Institute

Patches of farmland, rows of camphor trees, white-walled red-roofed houses, a straight and wide cement road interspersed, a carriage with a five-star red flag in the left corner of the top of the carriage accompanied by a large number of attachés, slowly driving on the forest ** in the field.

"The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, the birds say early, why are you carrying a small schoolbag..."

"Son, is it good? It's not good, then dad sings another ...... Xiao Erlang, carrying that schoolbag to school, not afraid of the sun, not afraid of the wind and rain, just afraid that Mr. will scold me for being lazy, hum... Forgot the lyrics, hahaha..."

In the carriage, Li Kang was teasing his three-month-old eldest son Li Jiuxu, humming two songs from time to time, with a smile on his face.

A few days ago, there was good news from the Ordnance Division, saying that the Mini rifle had been manufactured, no, Li Kang finally took the time to come over today to take a look, and the place he was going to now was the location of the Firearms Research Institute under the Ordnance Department in the western mountains of Lingjun Town.

The eldest lady talked about Yunxian being pregnant and it was inconvenient to travel, so Li Kang simply took Palm Lanzhi with her and let her come out to relax, and at the same time, she had more contact with her eldest son to enhance the relationship between father and son.

In the past, when he was in the old world, Li Kang saw the powerful family more than once, because of the tradition of holding grandchildren but not children, how strange the son was with his father after he was sensible, and even reached the point of strangeness, which Li Kang could never accept.

A pink unkempt child hugged his mother's thigh, hid behind his mother, and looked timidly at the strange man who suddenly appeared, and then his mother pointed to the man and said to the child: "Baby, don't be afraid, come out, call father!"

As soon as he thought of this picture, Li Kang couldn't help but shudder, thinking about how embarrassing the father must have been at that time!

"Xu'er, laugh, smile, laugh, eh..."Looking at the pure smile of the baby in his arms, Li Kang couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and only felt that the most beautiful scenery in the world was the child's smile.

"Daddy! Daddy... Daddy..."

Then, Li Kang, like all fathers in the world, began to be stupid.

"He's still so young, it's too early to learn how to speak!" said Palm Laneige, sneering.

Palm Lanzhi can say this bluntly, Li Kang is very satisfied, as long as he doesn't make a fuss about the child, it's not that he is afraid that Palm Lanzhi will be like Wu Zetian, but that she is afraid that she will invite pets with children.

"I don't know... It's just too much to look forward to. Li Kang smiled bitterly, and then began to "call Daddy" non-stop, and he never got tired of it.

Palm Laneige smiled silently.

"Your Majesty, it's here!"

In this atmosphere of family harmony and beauty, time passes imperceptibly, and the destination has arrived.

"Hehe, time flies... Laneige, you take Xu'er around, walk around the fields, breathe in the breath of hope, and expand your horizons. Li Kang gently handed his eldest son Li Jiuxu into his mother's arms, smiled, and then got out of the car.

......

The person in charge of receiving Li Kang was Dai Zi, the director of the Ordnance Department, who did not take Li Kang around for a tour, but directly took Li Kang to see the goal of the trip.

Not a workshop, not a warehouse, but a shooting range.

There is nothing to describe in the shooting range, just an open field, grass targets, wooden targets, and earthen wall targets of different sizes and shapes are erected at different distances in the direction of the target, and there is a lonely table at the launch place.

By the time Li Kang was brought to the shooting range, three identical-looking spears had already been placed on the table.

Needless to say, it must be a Mini rifle!

"Huh, there are actually three shots!" Li Kang raised his eyebrows, he thought that there was only one sample, because only one shot was enough.

He is purely here today to see a lively, fresh picture, and does not expect to be able to mass-produce Mini rifles now, there are too many restrictions, rifling, clearance, tail expansion, bullet hardness, tolerance standardization or something, all have to be solved, in this pre-mechanized era - hydraulic machine tools are not counted - all by hand knocking, it is really difficult to mass produce in large quantities, of course, it is not completely impossible, as long as it is not too harsh, plus there are enough skilled craftsmen, the key is that Li Kang does not have it!

Dai Zi was still worried about the lack of three strokes before, but he didn't expect Li Kang's expectations to be so low, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised at the same time.

"It did make a three. Dai Zi nodded with a smile.

Li Kang stepped forward, did not take the rifle first, but first picked up a bullet and looked at it, a round-headed cylindrical lead bullet, a cork behind the buttocks, and spiral patterns around the body, which is indeed an authentic Mini flavor.

However, Li Kang also found that the bullets on the table were not all this authentic Mini bullet, and there were many old-fashioned lead bullets, which were also used for reference tests.

"Are the parameters of these three guns the same?" Li Kang asked casually, as for how they overcame the difficulties and what principles they used, Li Kang didn't care, it was useless to care, he couldn't understand.

Professional things are left to professional people to do, and he only looks at the results.

"The parameters are the same, but two of them are flintlock pistols and only one is a firing pistol!" Dai Zi said without hesitation, "The Minny rifle can be made thanks to Mr. Xu Shou and Mr. Ge Hong!"

Li Kang nodded, he knew that chemistry was needed on the starting gun, so he didn't think it was strange.

"Let's start the test! Let me see the power of the Mini rifle!" Li Kang said, looking a little excited, what is the strength of this front-loading rifled rifle that has been blown into the sky by countless predecessors, and then it will be revealed.

"No!" Dai Zi replied, and then began to order people to test.

The first test is the flintlock mini gun, the effect is not bad, more than the performance of the first year type -1 flintlock pistol equipped by the Chinese army is not only doubled, 200-300 feet (meters) effective range, and the accuracy is not bad, more than 300 feet still has lethality, but what can be hit is only known by the gods.

What made Li Kang's heart beat faster was the only firing gun, 500 feet of accuracy!

Li Kang was drooling when he saw it, and his eyes were green.

"Can this gun be mass-produced?" Although he knew that it was impossible, Li Kang still asked with a fluke.

“... Your Majesty is incompetent!"

Sensei said, Li Kang waved his hand in some disappointment, the so-called greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, which is the current state of mind of Li Kang described.

"What about the flint?"

"As long as there are enough craftsmen, it's fine!"

Yes, saying it means not saying it!

[If Lao Tzu had so many craftsmen, I would still ask you?] Li Kang said in his heart.
