A mobile phone without electricity and no signal is useless, not even a brick, and it can barely be used as a mirror.

He couldn't get it back, and Donner didn't force it, and after Jasmine left, he put the wooden plank with the circle in his hand in his hand in the crack by the sea cliff.

The first is safety, there are too many children on Crescent Island, and if this arquebus is not missed, it may kill people.

The second is that the shooting is too loud and too public, and it is not easy to keep it secret, while at the seaside, the sound of the waves is enough to cover the gunshot.

Donner took out the thirty-centimeter arquebus, muzzle up, put it on the side, and poured the primer into a little bit of the primer pot.

Then the bamboo bottle containing gunpowder was opened, and with a small wooden spoon inside, a little bit was carefully poured into the muzzle, and then a small lead pellet was put in, and finally the lead pellet and gunpowder were tamped with a wooden strip installed under the barrel.

Donner took a deep breath, lit the arquebus with tinder, mounted it on the arquebus, and raised his gun to aim at the wooden target opposite.

Donner closed his eyes, pulled the trigger, the lid of the primer pot opened, the fire rope fell and ignited the primer, and then ignited the gunpowder, which burned violently and produced a large amount of gas that instantly pushed the lead bullet out.

"Bang!"

The fire flickered, and a puff of black smoke came out of the arquebus's primer cauldron, and the arquebus bounced off the arquebus, and a shock force was transmitted from the barrel of the gun to the arm.

Donner opened his eyes, picked up his arquebus, and walked to the wooden target fifty meters away.

Didn't hit?

There were no bullet marks on the wooden target, and it was clearly missed.

Was it too far? Or was it not enough gunpowder? Donner wondered, retreated thirty meters, and poured the gunpowder lead pellet again.

Donner aimed at the center of the ten rings of the wooden target, pulled the trigger again, and the projectile was pushed out, and with a 'pop', it finally hit the wooden target.

Donner drew ten circles with charcoal on the wooden target, and Donner looked at it, and the bullet only hit one ring at a distance of thirty meters, which was a pitiful and terrifying hit rate.

Could it be that the amount of gunpowder added is not enough, Donner is a little puzzled, it shouldn't be this kind of hit rate and range.

I used to hear netizens on the forum say that the range of the medieval arquebus can reach 200 meters, and the effective range is also 100 meters, although the hit rate is only 15 percent, and it depends on God whether it can be hit or not.

But at a distance of fifty meters, a qualified musketeer can still reach 65 percent of the hits, and the power of the bullet can penetrate the plate armor.

But this shot, not to mention the accuracy, the power of the bullet did not even penetrate the plank.

Shouldn't it?

Donner thought about it, slightly increased the dose of gunpowder, and continued testing.

Throughout the afternoon, the complex reloading procedure was repeated, and the test was shot by shot, and finally the most suitable amount of gunpowder additives was tested.

Donner felt a little emotional, the loading procedure of this arquebus was too complicated, according to his test, the fastest speed can put one shot a minute, it is not bad.

Think of metal-loaded bullets, the rate of fire, arquebuses simply can't compare. However, with the conditions of this world, let alone metal loading bullets, you don't even need to think about getting a rifled gun.

Of course, if you want to increase the firing speed of the arquebus, it is not impossible to make a paper shell ammunition by packing the gunpowder dose of each round in advance and making it into a paper shell ammunition.

When shooting, you can tear open and reload, so that you can accurately and quickly reload the appropriate amount of gunpowder, simplifying the reloading procedure.

However, according to Donner's understanding, there is no paper in this world at all, and the so-called parchment kraft paper in which they record the text is all made of animal skins, not to mention the high price, and the material is not suitable for making customized paper shell ammunition at all.

Therefore, if you want to make a custom paper shell ammunition, you must first get the paper out.

Donner thought about it, there was no better way now, and this arquebus could only be used.

After firing a few more shots, seeing that the sun was about to set, Donner cleaned the barrel of the gun and prepared to go home, when Ed and the others came.

"Why are you here? just came back?" asked Donner with a smile.

"Ed, what's the matter with the wound on your face?" Donner saw two blood marks on Ed's face, as if he had been whipped with some rope.

Several people looked very bad, and they were all a little silent, looked at each other, and stopped talking.

Ed sulked and said, "Donner, it's okay for us to get out of here, I don't want to stay here anymore, and I don't want to be a pirate." ”

Ed would say this to him almost every time he came back, and the last time he had a little temper tantrum with him.

This made Donner cry and laugh, "Didn't I tell you, wait first, and set off when we're ready." ”

"You haven't told me yet, what's wrong with the wound on your face?" Donner digressed.

"Smoked by Willy. "Ed was in a very low mood, more depressed than ever.

"Huh?" Donner's brow furrowed when he heard this, "Why did he whip you?"

Ed was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Donner seriously: "Brother Donald, haven't you been lying to us?

Donner smiled and said, "How could I lie to you, didn't I even get a hot pot for you to eat last time? ”

"Then you take us away, take us away. Ed almost shouted the words.

Donner looked at Ed's sudden outburst, a little dazed, and he reluctantly explained, "Didn't you say that we would go together when we were ready for the big boat?"

"You're lying to us, you're lying to us. Ed shouted angrily, his whole face flushing with excitement.

"I didn't ......" Donner didn't finish when Ed suddenly knelt down in front of Donner.

"Please, Brother Donner, take me away, I don't want to be a pirate anymore, and I don't want to kill people. ”

Ed knelt on the ground, weeping as he spoke, and walked to Donner's feet on his knees, pleading, "Brother Donner, don't they have a boat, we have killed so many people for them, let them lend us two boats, let's take a boat and leave here, okay?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't go to that territory, we can go as slaves and mine, okay?"

Donner took a deep breath, everything was too sudden, Ed's emotional state made him a little upset, he stepped forward, held Ed's arm and said, "Ed, you get up first and speak slowly, okay?"

With tears on his face, Ed tilted his head and looked at Donner sadly, "Then you're going to borrow a boat to take us away, right?"

"You get up first. Donner took Ed's arm.

Ed shook off Donner's hand, stood up, took a few steps back, and looked at Donner calmly with red eyes: "You lied to me, you've been lying to us." ”

Donner had never seen Eddard look like this, it was a feeling of death, which made Donner have a bad premonition.

"Huh...... Scold. Ed was a little hoarse from yelling, and a hoarse laugh came out of his throat.

"So you really lied to me. Ed's eyes didn't look at all.

"You're really lying to us. As he spoke, Ed's tears flowed unconsciously.

"You're lying to me!" shouted Eddard.

"I'm not going to be a pirate anymore, I'm not going to kill anymore. Ed shook his head and spoke incoherently.

"yes, I'm getting out of here. ”

"You don't take me away, I'll go by myself. ”

Donner pursed his lips and stepped forward to comfort Ed, "Ed, calm down, okay? ”

"You're lying to me......" Eddard looked broken, he stepped back as he spoke, not wanting Donner to get close to him, "They're right, I'm a fool, you lied to me......"

"Ah...... Lie to me, there is no such territory at all. Ed yelled, then turned and ran towards the edge of the cliff.

Donner was shocked and yelled, "Hold him, hold him." ”

However, this change was so sudden that no one reacted at all.

Ed rushed to the edge of the sea cliff and jumped towards the sea, "Haha. You lied to me, you lied to ......"

Ed fell towards the sea cliff, Donner panicked and rushed to the edge of the sea cliff, only to see Ed fall on a rock under the sea cliff, and the blood on his head instantly gushed out.

The waves roared and rolled against the rocks, and in an instant swept Ed's body into the sea.

Lying on the edge of the sea cliff, Donner's eyes were red, and he yelled at the other people in a panic: "Hurry up...... Go to the dock and get the boat to save people. ”
