Chapter 174: Upgrading the Musket
After constant entreaties from Anshcona, the prince finally agreed to let him visit the blacksmith.
And Anshcona had only been gone for less than half an hour, and he ran back in a rage.
Now he was standing in front of his work table, and two iron palms slammed the table.
"Bastard, you liar, you scoundrel......"
Anshkona had cursed the swear words he had learned all his life.
He glanced at him, but he wasn't angry at all, in that era when keyboard warriors were rampant, there was no need for elementary school students to talk like liars, bastards, and scoundrels.
"What's wrong with my Grand Knight?"
"Why do the blacksmiths play around ......?"
Unshkona opened his mouth and thought for a long time not knowing what it was called, so that he sweated profusely.
"You mean poker. β
"Yes, yes, yes, it's the damn poker, they said you made it happen. β
"Yes, that's right, my new work, a good thing to kill time, and it's simple and easy to understand, you can learn it, I tell you ...... landlord"
"Shut up! liar. β
Anshkona slapped the table again, and looked like a shrew, and almost rolled on the ground with tears in his eyes.
The sight of a sturdy man, standing there with a red face, constantly scolding another man at a liar, is simply picturesque.
"I'm going to tie you up in ...... I'm going to your Highness to denounce you. β
The knight chief originally wanted to say that he would be hanged on the gallows, after all, that is where the liars and hooligans really belong, but after thinking about it, the other party seemed to be bigger than his official position, so he quickly changed his statement.
"What the hell is going on, Grand Knight, is there anything wrong with them playing poker?"
"You do this, they don't work at all, when will the arquebus be built. β
"Arquebus? No, no, I'm not going to make it again. β
βwhatοΌβ
It was as if he had heard the desperate news that the kingdom had been taken over by the enemy.
"You're a liar. β
He raised his finger and pointed at the face of the liar, and the spit flew around, in fact, he didn't want to do that, but the official level crushed people, and he found that there was no other way than to scold the liar, and only this guy would make the musket that kept him awake at night.
As soon as he came in, he knew what his boy's purpose was, but he was very playful, just to amuse the warrior.
"Don't excite my esteemed knight elder. β
She stood up and walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"I won't forgive you even if you suddenly change your attitude. β
It was only after a while that he realized that the knight chief, whose complexion had softened, still had the attribute of arrogance.
"I'm not lying to you, because I'm going to make a better weapon. β
"Really?"
"Of course! β
"What is a gentleman, the name of a new weapon?"
"Well, strictly speaking, a gentleman is not a thing, he ...... Forget it, it doesn't matter. β
Finding himself getting farther and farther away, he hurriedly brought the topic back.
"A weapon called a pistol is much better to handle and practical than an arquebus, but now there is a lack of something called flint, and the workers of the mines have already started working, and when they find this material, the blacksmiths will immediately start working, and if you can't wait, go to the mines to help." β
"Good, good!"
As soon as the knight heard that there was something better, he still held his temper and ran out of the house.
Looking at his excited back, he couldn't help but laugh, this is normal, after all, in his own time, guns were things that could easily stimulate male hormones.
There is also a classic musket between the arquebus and the trigger pistol, which is the revolver musket.
However, this musket, which was as complex as a clock, was too expensive to build, so it was passed by the nobles.
But there is absolutely nothing wrong with its artistic value, of course, there are countless rumors, some people say that it was invented by a watchmaker from a certain country before the era of great fusion, some people say that it was invented by a scientist from a certain country, and it is even rumored that it is a masterpiece of a chicken thief, because when the arquebus was ignited, it was too obvious at night, so he racked his brains to invent this game, of course, in the end the credibility of this statement is almost zero.
It is more likely that the watchmaker will invent it, after all, the complex structure is not something that anyone can control.
Aside from these, another advantage of the rifle is that it can be easily upgraded to a flare pistol.
This is another major invention that led to the development of muskets, and the emergence of thunderate has raised the firearm to another level, and mercury thunderate is used as a detonator for detonators.
But thunderate is not so easy to make, so whether the firing medicine can be made, whether the firing gun can come out depends on whether something else can be found, of course, in this magical world, nothing is impossible.
Aside from the appearance of these riflings, it has also increased the accuracy and lethality of the gun by a new level, but it is difficult to make it with the current means, and Renault, a half-hung craftsman, may not be able to do anything.
He also just heard it from Morston, this guy has just started to become a craftsman for less than two months, and it is completely on a whim, if it weren't for his tens of millions of years of strength, coupled with that huge spiritual power, he wouldn't even be a half-ass.
Of course, although the complex rifling is not easy to get, but at the end of the 15th century there has been an improvement, that is, the simplified straight slotted rifling, although it does not have much impact on power and range, but greatly reduces the friction between the projectile and the barrel, thus saving reloading time, in the stage of the smoothbore gun, saving reloading time is already a very useful invention.
Of course, it is not only the rifling of straight grooves, human wisdom is powerful, and later people learned to wrap the projectile with oil-soaked linen or woolen fabric, which greatly reduced the friction.
These are all places that can be used to improve, and this is also the direction in which he will upgrade the musket step by step.
When his weapon-making skills reach a certain stage, even if he does not have those sophisticated instruments, he is confident that he will be able to create those rifling that affect the power of firearms, and then the deterrent power of muskets will become a force to be reckoned with in all countries.
These things can't be done in a short period of time, so this week-long auction is definitely very important.
So he dragged out the prince who was doing another experiment, set up Millen and Luoyi, and hurried to the Glory Square of Cellino City in the carriage driven by Lao Long.
