Chapter 202

When Song Nan arrived, Ye Fanggu, Xiaoping, Li Xiaomei, and several aunts from Ulzhou who were waiting in the back house were stunned and motionless around the flower bed.

Song Nan pushed aside the crowd and went in to see, he was also dumbfounded, only to see Lu Qingli's face covered with black ash, holding a black thing in his hand and jumping and screaming, the front end of the thing was still spraying green smoke, and his nose was full of the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder; Looking at the edge of the blue bricks of the flower bed, there is a big gap, and yellow smoke is still rising from the overturned black soil.

"What's going on? Qingli, what did you do? What happened to your face? Song Nan hurriedly asked.

Lu Qingli saw Song Nan coming, and shouted happily: "Big brother, look, I succeeded, didn't you say that the bird gun is not very powerful?" Look, am I good? ”

Song Nan's head was as big as a bucket, and then he remembered that he brought home a bird gun a few months ago, which was originally used to strengthen the defense of the house, and he once complained that the bird gun was not strong, the range was not far, and the charge was troublesome, etc., at that time, Lu Qingli asked a few words next to him, and Song Nan casually said some characteristics and power of firearms in later generations on a whim, such as being as short as the size of a palm, no need to ignite, just shoot and pull the trigger, what is shot is not iron sand but rotating bullets.

At that time, it was just a casual remark, but I didn't expect Lu Qingli to take the bird gun to try it, Song Nan didn't care much, Lu Qingli was a curious woman, but how could she understand this kind of mechanical knowledge, and she was busy enough during this time, so she gradually forgot about it; Unexpectedly, she actually persevered for a few months, and today she actually came up with this strange thing, and also fired a shocking shot in the yard.

Song Nan ignored the presence of everyone, and quickly pulled her small body up and down to grope, so ashamed that Lu Qingli's face was red and her ears were red, and she refused, Song Nan checked her body with a straight face, and found that there was no injury on her body, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "You, you, it's too much, although the power of firearms is not great, but it's not a joke to shoot on the body, if you don't get it on the head and face, you will become blind and deaf, even if you miss the point, you will also become a marijuana face; And there are so many people coming and going in the yard, what can I do if I hit someone? ”

Ye Fanggu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not your pet who is a husband." ”

Song Nan glanced at her and said, "You must know about this, and you also connived at her." ”

Ye Fanggu snorted and said, "Your own people blame me." ”

Lu Qingli said aggrievedly: "Brother Song, what are you doing is a reprimand, you haven't looked at the fire gun I made, you see, it's the same as you said, the size of the palm, no need to ignite, install a wooden handle, it is also convenient to load and fill the medicine, and the power is also very strong." ”

Song Nan took the strange firearm and looked at it carefully, it was a strange thing with a wooden handle, on it was a strangely shaped funnel mouth, and green smoke was emitting outward, and what connected the funnel mouth was a curved trigger in the lower part, looking left and right but there was no ignition device,

Song Nan asked suspiciously, "You used this thing to launch just now?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "Yes." ”

Song Nan smacked his lips and said, "What power can this have?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, I'll shoot you again. ”

Song Nan nodded and said, "Yes, I'm a little curious." ”

Lu Qingli said a little proudly: "Teach you to open your eyes." ”

Ye Fanggu shook her head and sighed: "Song Nan, you are also messing around, hey, there is no peace at home." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Don't underestimate firearms, if you really have a powerful firearm, then the combat power can be increased several times, if a person has a firearm, a martial arts master who has been practicing for decades is not necessarily an opponent." ”

Ye Fanggu sneered, "Really? I don't believe that a firearm can be faster than a sword in my hand. ”

Song Nan smiled and didn't answer, and said in his heart: In the future, there was an island country that was dropped by two bombs and killed hundreds of thousands, if I tell you such things, you must think I am crazy.

But seeing Lu Qingli take out a firecracker-like thing wrapped in a black oilcloth from a wooden box under his feet, with a gunpowder fuse exposed at the tail, he reached out and bent the barrel downward, revealing the back end of the black barrel, stuffed the cannon into the barrel, snapped it together, and the fire rope happened to be embedded in a small hole at the upper end and stretched out.

Lu Qingli quickly used the iron pieces on both sides to fix it, and said with a smile: "Look." ”

Song Nan waved his hand to let everyone disperse, Lu Qingli raised his musket, aimed at the trunk of a jujube tree and pulled the trigger, only to see that the mouth of the funnel slowly approached the exposed lead with the pull of the trigger, and suddenly sneered, and the funnel mouth obviously contained something that ignited the fire.

The lead burned shorter and shorter, and gradually disappeared, everyone covered their ears and squinted in fear at the trace of green smoke coming out of the small hole at the upper end of the barrel, and their hearts were pounding, and after a few breaths, they only heard a loud 'bang', a ball of fire came out of the barrel, and when the black smoke was filled, the gun body jumped violently, shocking Lu Qingli's body backwards, and Song Nan quickly grabbed Lu Qingli's waist.

Lu Qingli was unconscious, struggled to get up and shouted: "Look at that tree trunk, is it powerful?" ”

Song Nan rushed over to take a look, his eyes rolled on the ground, and he saw that the trunk of the jujube tree was torn apart, more than a dozen holes were densely covered in it, and the trunk with a thick arm was almost pierced, and the original tough trunk that was full of toughness was now afraid that it would break with a slight push.

"Awesome, really awesome." Song Nan smacked his tongue.

"Amazing, it's not in vain." Lu Qingli was triumphant, revealing a neat row of small white teeth.

Song Nan said with a smile: "It's really yours, I didn't expect our little Qingli to become a master of miracle skills." ”

Lu Qingli grinned and said: "You said last time that you wanted to pull the trigger and fire a bullet by firing a primer or something, I really couldn't think of a way, but I used this small funnel, and put flame-resistant charcoal in it, as long as I moved the trigger, the fire rope would naturally ignite when it entered the small mouth that was close by, isn't this also automatic ignition?" Before the battle, you can put in the red-hot coal, and although it takes some effort, it can be fired continuously for a long time. ”

Song Nan had to admit Lu Qingli's ingenuity, and this kind of ignition method was really ingenious. However, Song Nan was more interested in Lu Qingli's ability to make bullets like a small artillery battle, this scene was very similar to the domineering rifle shotgun in later generations, which can be regarded as a real innovation.

Song Nan took out a small cannon made by Lu Qingli, tore open the slippery black oilcloth package on the outside, and found that it was only a small bamboo tube inside, the back was filled with gunpowder, and the front section was dozens of thin steel balls. lit the gunpowder in the rear, and the air wave after the explosion urged the steel ball to shoot away, it was indeed the principle of a shotgun, and Song Nan was a little convinced.

Although he is not very interested in firearms knowledge, but he was born in the next life, he always knows a little bit of knowledge in this area, if he has nothing to do, he may come up with this method after thinking about it, but Lu Qingli in front of him has no knowledge of this aspect, but with the strength of research, he actually came up with this method, and dared to put it into practice, Song Nan could only sincerely give thirty-two likes in his heart.

With this thing in front of him, Song Nan's impression of the Ming Dynasty's firearms and birds has all changed, the power of firearms is extraordinary, if it can be gradually improved and uniformly assembled, it will obviously increase its combat power several times and dozens of times; But as far as the current thing is concerned, there are still big shortcomings, first of all, this ignition method is worth criticizing, which is no different from igniting with a fire fold.

Once he seriously considered the improvement, Song Nan suddenly recalled a lot of knowledge in this area, and many of them were definitely not applicable due to the limitations of material technology, but there were two points, Song Nan felt that he could put it forward for Lu Qingli's reference, maybe this little girl could really make a shotgun in the real sense.

"Qingli, first of all, I would like to express my sincere admiration for you, I didn't expect you to have this talent, I am ashamed." Song Nan personally took a towel to wipe the black ash on Lu Qingli's face.

Lu Qingli's eyes were radiant, and she smiled: "Really? Does this stuff really work? ”

Song Nan said: "It's not just useful, it's just a baby; But I have to say that there is still room for improvement, but I can use my mouth, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it without you, and I can make two suggestions. ”

Lu Qingli said: "You say, I'll change it, but this thing cost a lot of silver, and it took more than a hundred taels to get such a thing, you won't blame me for spending money indiscriminately." ”

Song Nan smacked his tongue secretly, and sure enough, the price of scientific and technological innovation is not small: "This matter should be kept secret, so that they know that they spend so much money, and they don't scold you for being a loser of my Song family?" But I support you, you can spend the money as you like, and not only that, but I also have to find a few brothers to listen to you and specialize in this thing. ”

Lu Qingli said happily: "Really? That's great, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately. ”

Song Nan smiled: "No wonder you are dazed all day long, Aunt Li privately thought that you had a baby, but she was thinking about this thing." ”

Lu Qingli laughed and said: "The baby is also going to be born, but since you think this is useful, let's let the baby come out later, you quickly say that there is anything to improve, and Brother Song's idea will definitely come true." ”

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said: Baby, is it when you want him to come out? It's not that you haven't planted jade, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do this.

"Okay, the first suggestion is the way to ignite the fire, although the charcoal ignition is ingenious, but it is not convenient, if it rains, the charcoal is extinguished, how can it be used? If you need to use a musket in a hurry, how can the enemy wait for you to light it first? ”

"But I really can't think of a way." Lu Qingli said distressedly.

Song Nan said: "I suddenly had an idea just now, the fire rope is very easy to ignite, as long as there is a spark bursting out, it can be ignited, so can we use flint to ignite the fire?" For example, if you pull the trigger and hit the flint with a metal object to jump out of the spark, and the spark ignites the fuse, won't that be solved? The flint can still produce sparks when it is wet in the rain, but it is not affected by the weather, and it is more convenient to take out the gun and put it at the critical moment? ”

Lu Qingli said happily: "It's really a good way, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult, but as long as it's feasible, I will definitely be able to figure it out." ”

Song Nan said: "You try it, maybe I'm just delusional, don't give up, and don't drill the horns." ”

Lu Qingli nodded and said, "What is the second suggestion?" ”

Song Nan said: "This will definitely be realized, I suggest that you change the single tube to a double tube, so that you can fire two times at one time, and there will be a second shot if you miss a shot, which not only saves time, but also increases the power, what do you think?" ”

Lu Qingli jumped up and said: "This method is good, it will definitely work, I'll try it." Then he got up and left.

Song Nan hurriedly grabbed and said: "What are you anxious about, take your time in this matter, I don't want you to toss every day, especially at night, don't forget, you have to come to accompany me at night." ”

Lu Qingli kept waving his hand and said: "Zhilu Dao, Zhilu Dao, you go and go busy with your big things, don't worry about me." ”

Song Nan was stunned and smiled bitterly, Lu Qingli is a little obsessed, I hope not to be cocooned, so that Lu Qingli has lost interest in the affairs of men and women, every day the two sisters accompany the left and right, sitting on the clouds, the right hugging the rain, Song Nan is so cool, I don't want to lose such a good day.
