Chapter 220: Beginning to take shape
(Thanks to the casual ronin, sweeping monk, root 087 class, Lingnan Yizhimei brothers for the monthly pass) Chapter 220
In the early morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Song Nan had a hangover last night, and she was still lying on the bed in the morning, and she still hugged Ye Fanggu, who was all naked, and didn't let her get up to practice.
I saw Lu Qingli rushing in with a double-barreled firearm in his hand and a cold air, and Ye Fanggu hurriedly shrank into the quilt.
Lu Qingli ignored what the two were doing, and shouted, "Brother Song, hurry up, I seem to have done the double-barreled shotgun you said." ”
Song Nan hurriedly pulled the thing out, wrapped the blanket and got out of bed, reached out and took the double-barreled firearm in Lu Qingli's hand and looked at it carefully, there was still a small room like a bird's beak above the black barrel, and pulled the trigger, but saw that there was a crackling fire shining at the bird's beak, and sure enough, as she prompted, Xiao Nizi used flint to make a thing to ignite the gunpowder rope.
"You got up in the middle of the night to do this?" Song Nan smacked his tongue.
"Yes, last night I suddenly remembered that as long as I strengthened the strength of the machine emperor and changed to a diamond with a high hardness at the friction of the flint, I could achieve the effect of pulling the trigger and rubbing sparks, and sure enough, I succeeded after a try. Am I good? ”
Song Nan said: "Amazing, too powerful, Qingli can be called a master, have you tried it?" ”
Lu Qingli was stunned and said, "Didn't you hear? I just fired a shot in the yard, and the sound was earth-shattering. ”
Song Nan shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it at all, did Aunt Fang hear it?" ”
Ye Fanggu stuck her head out of the quilt with a red tide on her face, shook her head, and said, "I didn't hear it either." ”
Lu Qingli smacked her lips and said, "No wonder, you guys were doing that just now, how can you hear it without distraction?" ”
Ye Fanggu's face was as red as blood, and she said, "Dead Nizi." ”
Song Nan hurriedly dressed and washed, he wanted to personally test whether this firearm was good or not, if it was really as Qingli said, if this flint double-barreled shotgun was really useful, this must be a revolution, this thing is not comparable to a sword, this is a hot weapon.
Lu Qingli hurriedly helped Song Nan get dressed, combed his hair in a bun, and put on a big hat, Song Nan came to the yard with a fire hammer, only to see that half of the holly tree in the west was blown down, the snow was full of burnt yellow gunpowder marks, and the sieve-like eyes were all over the snow, thinking that this was Lu Qingli's masterpiece.
Song Nan took the ammunition handed over by Lu Qingli, loaded it behind the barrel, pulled the gunpowder rope out of the small hole above, twisted the two together, put them in the right position, and closed the beak to envelop the firerope.
"Get out of the way." Lu Qingli waved his hand to the handmaidens who watched the excitement and hid to the side, the handmaidens had already learned to be obedient, and they covered their ears and hid aside without waiting for hello; Song Nan aimed the muzzle at the corner of the rockery, pulled the trigger, felt that the trigger in his hand was astringent, and after pulling it hard, there was a crackling friction sound in the small room above the bird's beak, followed by a pungent smoke and dust, accompanied by a sneering sound.
Song Nan knew that the gunpowder rope was ignited, so he hurriedly set up a frame and waited, and after a few breaths, there was a loud "boom", and in the smoke and dust, he saw that half of the hard stone of the rockery was blown down; the barrel of the gun jumped violently, and Song Nan almost couldn't grasp the body of the gun.
Lu Qingli cheered and rushed forward, Song Nan was shocked and shouted, "Don't come, it seems that there is only one sound." Before he could say more, another roar rang out, and the barrel of the gun that jumped in the air let out a second roar, shaking a large tree in the distance, and the branches of the snow rained down like raindrops, crackling and falling endlessly.
Song Nan was so frightened that his face turned white, Lu Qingli was also startled, Song Nan stroked the sore shoulder socket and stood in a daze, Lu Qingli pounced on him and said, "Brother Song, you are fine, you are not injured." ”
Song Nan shook his head and said, "No." ”
Go up and look at the corner of the rockery, the powerful force of the steel ball will jump the corner of the rockery, the power is really amazing; But this attempt also tried to go wrong, one is that the recoil is too strong, and the other is that this is a double tube is not a continuous fire, the power is doubled, but the interval between them is not easy to grasp, the speed of the gunpowder rope is different, so it is not fired at the same time, and it is very likely that an accident will occur.
"How did you try it just now?" Song Nan asked.
"I only loaded one ammo, just to see if the flint method was successful." Lu Qingli said with a red face.
Song Nan didn't want to blame her, so he bit his lower lip and said: "The problem is obvious, you can't launch at the same time, the gap time between you will be dangerous, and the recoil will be too strong if you launch at the same time, I think we need to improve it." However, since Suifa is feasible, it is basically a success. ”
Lu Qingli thought for a while and said: "It's better to adjust the length of the fire rope, make it fast and slow, and deliberately leave an interval, isn't it two consecutive shots?" ”
Song Nan said: "It's a way, but it's best to light the fire rope separately, so that if you want to shoot alone, you can shoot alone, and if you miss one shot, you will have a chance to fire a second shot." ”
Lu Qingli nodded, took the firearm and said, "I'll think of a way again." ”
Song Nan touched her face and said: "It's already very good, take your time, there will always be a successful day, but there is no need to work day and night, and there is no hurry." ”
Lu Qingli smiled: "I won't be discouraged, it's fun." ”
Song Nan said in his heart: Where is this thing fun, this girl likes to tinker, and she is extremely curious, if she doesn't do it well in the future, she will still be a female inventor.
For this firecracker, Song Nan actually thinks that he can get a few more, and the interval between firing can actually be completely controlled on the firerope, and it is not difficult to fast or slow the firerope, but Song Nan hopes that it can have a higher launch efficiency, rather than choosing which is fast arquebus ammunition and which is chronic arquebus ammunition when facing battle. Moreover, the most unbearable thing is that once ignited, both rounds must be fired, which is not what Song Nan wants.
What Song Nan hopes for is a musket that can save reloading time, otherwise the double barrel will lose its meaning; In order to increase the power, the recoil problem alone is difficult to solve.
In the afternoon, Song Nan took a nap, Zhengde suddenly sent a little eunuch from the palace to invite Song Nan into the palace, Song Nan hurriedly entered the palace to see Zhengde, entered the warm pavilion of the study of the Qianqing Palace, and found that a familiar figure was also in the study, it was Princess Zhu Xiufu of Kangning.
When Zhengde saw Song Nan, he also got straight to the point and said: "Song Nan, it's not that I want to see you, but the imperial sister wants to see you." ”
Song Nan hurriedly said: "I don't know what the princess commands." ”
Princess Kangning pursed her lips and smiled, "Lord Song seems to have a bad memory." ”
Song Nan didn't know why, Princess Kang Ning was a little angry and said, "What did you promise to this palace?" ”
Song Nan raised his head and couldn't remember, Zhengde Ha Luha smiled and said: "Song Nan, you are finished, you dare to perfunctory imperial sister, you actually agreed but don't remember, you also promised me about this matter." ”
After that, he squeezed his eyes and squeezed his mouth outside the door, as if to remind Song Nan, Song Nan turned his head and skimmed out of the door, remembered it all of a sudden, and said busily: "I haven't forgotten it, is it going to Banzai Mountain to ski?" Remember. ”
Zhu Xiufu turned her anger into joy and said, "Even if you haven't forgotten, how about it?" There were two snows in a row today, and the main palace sent someone to Banzai Mountain to take a look, and the thickness has exceeded the one foot you said, so it should be usable. ”
Song Nan said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that the weather is cold, if the emperor and the princess get cold in the snow, the minister can't afford it." ”
Zhu Xiufu rolled her bright eyes and smiled: "Then it's not your business, what do you say, Your Majesty." ”
Zhengde said: "That's natural, I'm also suffocated, and it's not fun to stay in the leopard room, so I still want to go around." ”
Liu Jin, who was standing on the side, heard the sentence 'It's not fun to stay in the leopard room', and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Song Nan said: "Since this is the case, the minister will go back to prepare, and tomorrow the minister will enter the palace to accompany the emperor and the princess to ski." ”
Zhu Xiufu said: "Do you still want to prepare?" ”
Song Nan said: "Of course, skiing requires tools, snowboards, goggles, walking sticks and other things, otherwise you can't slide." ”
Zhengde said: "Xiao Jinzi and they help you do it, it should be done soon." ”
Song Nan said: "If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, this thing must be finely worked, so as to be smooth and refreshing, or the minister will do it himself, but half a day, tomorrow will be successful." ”
Zhu Xiufu said with a smile: "Okay, the palace will wait for half a day, you are not allowed to perfunctory the palace, if you don't come tomorrow, I will go to your house to catch you." ”
Song Nan smiled bitterly: "Then you don't need to be caught, the minister himself sent it to the door to be scolded." ”
Zhu Xiufu covered her mouth and smiled, got up and said, "Then the palace will go first, you monarchs and ministers can speak." ”
Song Nangong sent Zhu Xiufu away, chatted with Zhengde for a while, and then left in the name of rushing to catch up with the tools; Zhengde wanted to pull Song Nan to chat for a while, but when he saw Song Nan say goodbye, it was not easy to force him to stay.
After Song Nan left, Liu Jin came up and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Song doesn't seem to be willing to talk to the emperor more recently, it's very different from before." ”
Zhengde thought for a while and said: "He is now in charge of the Beizhen Fusi, there must be a lot of things; It is rumored that I promoted him by force, and he also told me that he should do things well and not leave people a handle, and I can understand; He wasn't as idle as he used to be in Zhengnanfang, so he could come and chat with me without anything. ”
Liu Jin said: "Shi Wenyi told the slave maid that day that Song Nan seemed to have transferred the hundreds of Jinyi Weiqi School in Zhengnanfang with some personnel in the Fusi of Beizhen, Shi Wenyi was very unhappy, and he didn't ask for his consent to transfer the flag school. ”
Zhengde frowned and said: "Song Nan told me about this, he asked some competent people to handle the case, and I also agreed, Shi Wenyi always likes to say trivial things, he is very close to you, right?" ”
Liu Jin was startled and said: "There is nothing to do, I just served the emperor in front of the palace and inadvertently mentioned it." ”
Zhengde said: "What do you think about Zhang Mao's rejection of letting Gu Da use the Admiral Regimental Camp." ”
Liu Jin bowed down and said: "The slave maid is actually for the sake of the emperor, the regimental camp is the main force of the Gongwei in Beijing, and its admiral must not only be loyal to the emperor, but also need to have talent, Sun Jian is old and incompetent, Gu Da is quite effective after leading the 3,000 Yulin army, and he is the emperor's person, and the slave and maid are also out of this consideration." ”
Zhengde waved his hand and sighed: "That's it, Zhang Mao also acts according to the rules, and I can't blame him, this matter will stop, I don't want the two princes to count down, and I don't want them to come to the book like the outer court, I am also for your consideration." ”
Liu Jin was shocked and sweated, and nodded hurriedly yes, the emperor is not confused at all, and his desire to meddle in the Beijing camp will also cause dissatisfaction among the nobles, Zhengde said this, obviously Zhang Mao has already expressed some signs in front of the emperor.
