Commodities are related, some things, may not be easy to accept, everyone is used to the hourglass, or look at the sky, but when the carriage and sofa and crystal are hot, so that the town of the government can take the opportunity to start the layout of the distribution network, at the same time, the town of the country of goods also give people a trendy impression, because of this, people gradually began to form a concept, that is, the town of the country is always good, so the original no one cares about the clock, now it is gradually popular, some people are willing to try, At first, I felt a little unaccustomed, but over time, I became familiar with it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There will always be a process of skepticism when any new product appears, sometimes the process is lengthy, sometimes very fast, this is the role of the signboard, with enough word-of-mouth, even if something is difficult to accept, or something that is ahead of its time, people are happy to accept it.

Now the town government is recruiting people on a large scale, and the craftsmen of clocks and watches have higher requirements for machinery, so the price of employment is also high.

Ye Chunqiu just found a few people in the Zhenguo Mansion and explained the shareholders' meeting on the first day of the next lunar month, asking them to formulate the production plan of the China Merchants Bureau, the drill plan of the Zhenguo New Army, and the research plan of the research institute, and then went to the special test site of the research institute.

The new type of firecracker has been manufactured by Ye Chunqiu's drawings, but it is mostly experimental in nature, and many of the designs of the firecracker in Ye Chunqiu's hand are actually derived from the version of the Spencer rifle during the Civil War.

The Civil War can be regarded as an important laboratory in the era of rear-loading guns, at that time, although there were many gun schemes in Europe, but because there was no real evenly matched large-scale war, so many weapons could not be tested, and this civil war on the other side of the ocean can be described as the most unprecedented and unparalleled war after the Industrial Revolution, during which the standards of modern warfare such as tactics, strategic thinking, and field medicine were established. The vast majority of the 3.5 million people who participated in the war were volunteers, which meant that they were often very determined, and both sides used almost all means to destroy the enemy, in which 750,000 soldiers were killed and 400,000 were disabled.

Because of this, many weapons have been tested, the Spencer rifle is one of the best, its biggest advantage is that the design is simple, there are not many gun parts, the use of rotary locking bolt, directly through the lever to pull out the receiver to expose the unloading port shell, before firing also need to pull the hammer, although slightly primitive and insufficient strength but also to a certain extent to reduce the risk of jamming.

If you really want to describe it, Ye Chunqiu believes that this design is the best solution at the moment, the design is simple, easy to manufacture on a large scale, and because there are not many parts, the error rate is much lower, which greatly reduces the risk of jamming or even exploding.

The only downside is ......

Ye Chunqiu took the firearm of this experimental board and loaded it with paper and linen bullets, this is a very simple Minne warhead after the appearance of the rear loading gun, the Minne warhead belongs to the most primitive version of the bullet after the appearance of the rear loading gun, it does not belong to the hollow bullet, the front end of the bullet, and the ordinary lead bullet except for the shape, there is no difference.

Miner's bullets can be easily pushed into the chamber with a ram lever. Thus significantly increasing the rate of fire. The bullet is threaded around the body to match the rifling, and the middle of the thread is stuffed with animal oil. The bottom of the bullet uses a cork material. When fired, gunpowder gases hit the cork, and the cork was hit by an instantaneous impact, and then the bullet was violently propped up. Because the bullet is stretched, the bullet itself can be relied on to complete the sealing of the chamber at the moment of firing without leaking gunpowder gases and causing the kinetic energy of the bullet to be lost. This solved the problem of airtight chambers of the old front-loading guns, which greatly enhanced the rate of fire, range and safety of the guns.

Ye Chunqiu was holding the fire hammer, and ten zhang away from him was a huge tree stump, Ye Chunqiu was a little nervous, but a few researchers around him seemed very relaxed and talked in a low voice.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chunqiu held the butt of the gun against his head and tried his best to aim, this should be his first time shooting, there was both freshness and excitement, his fingers began to pull the trigger, and then pressed.

Bang......

The smoke was filled, Ye Chunqiu felt that his tiger's mouth was a little numb, and the recoil of the fire gun caught him a little off guard, but immediately, the tree stump ten zhang away immediately flew sawdust, and someone rushed forward, and continued: "The tree stump has penetrated." ”

The stump was half a meter thick, and it was directly penetrated, but it was about twenty paces away, but even so, it was shocking enough.

This means that within fifty paces, it is the plate armor of the new army of Zhenguo, and it is afraid that it can be easily penetrated by this rifle.

The improvement of the steel process, which led to the fact that the same steel, could withstand greater impact forces, and the refractory and strength of the barrel increased enormously; The advent of high gunpowder made gunpowder more powerful; The rifling cutting process in the barrel also greatly improves the accuracy of the rifle, the structure of the rifle, and the best of the best, the rear-loading scheme, the automatic hammer, and the magazine, which greatly improves the accuracy of the design, as well as the speed of loading, and more importantly, the bullet scheme of Migne, not only easy to carry and load, but also greatly improves the range of the musket.

In a sense, if there is no previous experience in the production of steel, carriages, wheel axles, and clocks, even if Ye Chunqiu has more ideas, it will be difficult to truly realize them.

And now, the rifle in Ye Chunqiu's hand is almost close to mass production, and the production process of Minne's bullet is not difficult, as long as you are willing, you are willing to spend money, train craftsmen, and specially customize some molds and machinery for the production of firearms, and you can start work at any time.

Ye Chunqiu put down the rifle, and then began to seriously test the experimental data of this rifle, the killing range is eight hundred steps, and the effective range is four hundred steps, this alone is completely beyond the times.

The firecrackers of this era, even the firecrackers of the Franc machine, have a killing range of no more than three or four hundred paces, and the effective range can have seventy or eighty steps. And the real power is the speed of shooting.

The biggest problem with the current front-loading gun is to load the ammunition, because it is a front-loading, so it is necessary to pour gunpowder from the muzzle first, then compact it with iron bars, and then pour in iron pellets, but also insert the lead, and finally ignite, which is a very cumbersome process.

The rifle reloads at least five times as fast, and the rifle only needs to open the magazine, load the Minne, and then press the trigger.
