Under the shouting of the officers, the reserve soldiers of the 2nd Brigade began to set up camp near the original barracks, that is, to set up tents.

And Li Kang only took Dian Wei, Li Dan (Li Erdan), Wang An, and Wu Yu four guards to the firearms manufacturing room.

This time, Li Kang's people around him have completely changed blood, Dian Wei is because he is used to it, Li Kang is reluctant to change, Li Dan and Wang An are both young and not suitable for being released now, and they still need to wait for two years, and the rest including the team deputy Li and Mu were sent out.

In order to better play the maximum value of this model, Li Kang decided to expand the guard team into a tun, thirty-two people are just right, no matter how many people he can't teach.

In the firearms production room, Bi Maokang and Dai Zi, who came one step earlier, immediately greeted Li Kang when they saw Li Kang's arrival.

"Welcome to the firearms room!"

"Okay, take me to see our baby, I'm looking forward to a moment but I'm looking forward to it!" Li Kang said with a smile, and strode inside.

Because everyone knows that Li Kang doesn't like pomp, no one informed the craftsmen, so there was no chaos, and everything was still in order.

This made Li Kang very satisfied.

"Lord, please come here!" Bi Maokang led the way, acted as a guide, and led Li Kang and the others to a room that looked like a warehouse.

"As you think, what is in here is some finished products!" Bi Maokang seemed to understand Li Kang's doubts, and said with a smile, "Because they have not yet been installed, these guys can only be regarded as experimental products, and if they are placed here, they can be taken out for experiments nearby, and problems can be found at any time and improved at any time, so they have not been handed over to the Treasury Department for safekeeping." ”

"Yes!"

Li Kang nodded, and said, until now he still has the title of the head of the Treasury Division, but according to the actual situation, the Treasury Division can almost be revoked, and the items produced by each department are habitually placed in their own warehouses, and even Li Kang exchanges items from the system, most of them are not stored in the warehouse of the Treasury Division, but are directly sent for use.

[I'll think about this later.] 】

Li Kang said with a smile: "Let's go and see it first, I can't wait!"

"No!" Bi Maokang took out a key from his waist, carefully found one, and then used it to open the large lock on the warehouse door.

There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open, and there was no dust flying in the sky because there were people coming to see it from time to time.

Bi Maokang bowed to Li Kang slightly, Li Kang understood, smiled faintly, and took the lead in walking.

There are four rows of shelves neatly arranged in the center of the warehouse, and there are long strips of metal texture scattered on them.

Yu Guang glanced at the entire warehouse, except for the four rows of shelves in the center, the three walls of the warehouse were full of layers of wooden boxes, roughly calculated, there were hundreds of boxes, even if they were not all muskets, but at least dozens or hundreds of rods must be there.

Seeing this, Li Kang glanced at Bi Maokang with a smile, which made the other party embarrassed.

It's obvious, what's 'still a test product', 'convenient to observe nearby' are all excuses, if it's still an experimental product, then why do you make so many things, aren't you afraid of all the qualifications smashed in your hands?

"Punish for one month, punish for a small and give a big warning!" said lightly, and Li Kang revealed the matter.

"Thank you for your grace!" Bi Maokang and Dai Zi both breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they both had a faint pain.

Don't think that the fine for a month is not a big deal, that is when the plate is bigger, and the officials have a lot of money, but now the officials in China are all 'honest and honest' -- if they want to be greedy, they don't have this environment -- they all live on dead wages! They have only been paid for a few months?

"Arquebus?" Li Kang walked lightly to the shelf, and picked up a shot in a hurry, well, according to Li Kang's standards, it can be said to be an extra-long musket.

"This one you're holding is indeed an arquebus!"

"Oh..."Li Kang raised his eyebrows and said happily, "In other words, is there an arquebus or not?"

If there is a tunnel pistol, then the arquebus in his hand can be sent directly to the museum.

Firearm production, although Li Kang attaches great importance to it, he doesn't interfere too much, he only knows that the firearm production is successful, and he really doesn't know which firearm it is.

Because he doesn't know what step he can do with Huaxia's current ability, if he is too advanced and beyond the scope of his ability, he will be beaten with chickens and eggs, and he won't be able to catch a fart, and he will have to accumulate from scratch.

Of course, he didn't say nothing, some terms and simple concepts such as arquebus, flintlock pistol, flint, fire cap, mini bullet, paper shell bullet, mercury thunderate, rifling, etc., Li Kang also mentioned them, but he did not make them mandatory.

[I can't imagine that these people are so powerful!]

Li Kang raised his eyes and looked around, trying to find out the tunnel gun, but unfortunately, he was not a military fan, the gun knew him, he didn't know the gun, because there was no arquebus on the damn arquebus, it was too unscientific, there was no way, so he had to turn his gaze to Bi Maokang.

In fact, the arquebus is still very recognizable, there is a metal hook like a scorpion tail on it, and the one with the hook is basically the arquebus.

For Li Kang's gaze, Bi Maokang instantly understood, he took a few steps to another shelf, took off a long spear and a short spear with both hands, and then handed the short gun to Li Kang.

Li Kang happily took the short gun, looked up and down, left and right carefully, and felt a little in love, but although he liked the short gun very much, he was most concerned about the long gun, which was to be installed on a large scale.

"How is the performance of the spear?"

"Lord Qi, this kind of spear has a maximum range of more than 200 feet (meters) and an effective range of about 50-80 feet. In addition, in terms of rate of fire, skilled shooters can shoot twice per minute. Bi Maokang half-raised the tunnel spear in his hand and introduced.

"How is the quality?" These data are not too bad, not too good, can only be said to be qualified, but this is enough, Li Kang immediately turned the topic to the most critical part.

"Because it is a standardized production line - indeed the assembly line, and it is not proposed by Li Kang, it is proposed by the Qin people among the craftsmen - each part is responsible for a special team, and the quality is worth guaranteeing. Moreover, we have also done a lot of experiments, a long gun can shoot ten times in a row without exploding, if the user can take care of it, one long gun can support more than 100 shots. ”

Li Kang lit up when he heard this, this is very good, with six rounds fired in a battle - if the enemy army is a cavalry can not shoot six rounds - a spear can support a soldier to participate in twenty battles.

He was really nervous by the large number of shotguns that exploded at one point in the various armed forces in the late Ming Dynasty, and he didn't want to fire a salvo, and the enemy was not doing much, and his own people would be reimbursed half.

"Huh, is this a rifled gun?" Li Kang turned the short gun in his hand boredly, suddenly caught a glimpse of the rifling in the barrel, and said in surprise, "You can all produce rifled guns?"

"Production can be produced," Bi Maokang said bitterly, "but it can only produce some toys for play, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale for the time being." ”

"Really?" Li Kang was a little regretful, but he was not too disappointed, he smiled and said, "Technology is improving day by day, and the popularization of rifled guns is a matter of time, don't be too anxious!"

"What the Lord teaches!"

Well, Li Kang walked to the shelf where the tunnel pistol was placed, put down the short gun, reached out and picked up a narrow bayonet next to him, waved it a few times into the air, felt the cold glow sprinkled on it, and gently flicked the back of the knife with his left index finger, and said, "How is the hardness and toughness of the bayonet?"

He vaguely remembered reading in a certain book that early bayonets would often be stuck by bones, muscles, etc., or directly by the armor of the armorer, because the blade was too brittle, and the opponent could easily break it if he moved.

"These are absolutely passable, and they are almost no different from the military Tang knife. Speaking of which, Bi Maokang is very confident.

So, Li Kang believed.

So, he asked one last question.

"Tunnel pistol plus bayonet, how about the production?"

"Under normal circumstances, the monthly output of 50 spears can be increased by another two percent if the maximum horsepower is increased. This time it was Dai Zi who answered, and he said, "The bayonet is not made by us, and the general is responsible for it, and we don't know the specific output." ”

Li Kang subconsciously frowned, but he also knew that they had done their best, after all, the number of people was too small, and with Bi and Dai, there were only twelve people in the entire firearms production room who could really come in handy.

[There is a long way to go!]

However, the good beginning has been solidified, and Li Kang is still very satisfied.

"Tomorrow I will arrange for the generals to come and test the guns, and if they are satisfied, then this one will be used for muskets. Li Kang said, "If the data you said today is true, I think this matter is almost a certainty." By the way, do you have a name for this gun?"

"Not yet!" got Li Kang's approval, Bi Maokang and Dai Zi were still very happy, and when they heard Li Kang say the name, Bi Maokang immediately gave the best answer empatheticly.

"Well, then it's called the 'Huaxia 2-Year Type 1 Tunnel Rifle', referred to as the '2-1 Type Rifle'. Li Kang reported his name without even thinking about it, obviously premeditated.

"The so-called one thing is not bothering the two masters, why don't the lords name the other models of muskets in a unified manner, so that we can have joy in the production of firearms!"

"Hehe... You literati like to make trouble!" Li Kang said with a 'flat' face, and then waved his hand seemingly casually, "That kind of tunnel-fired short gun is called 'Huaxia Ernian Type 1 Tunnel-fired Pistol', referred to as 'Two-1 Type Pistol'. That kind of arquebus is called 'Huaxia Yuannian Type 1 Arquebus', referred to as 'Yuan-1 Type Arquebus'. Okay, right?

"Yes, yes, my lord has worked hard!"

"Okay, I've seen it here, now take me to see the big guys!"

"No!"
