"What are you doing all the time! When you enter my study, you have to knock on the door, why are you disrespectful to the old? Li Xiao was dragged away by the old fisherman, muttering as he walked. Today, I didn't know that the old guy was so strong for Mao, and pulled Li Xiao straight to the weapon test site.

"The drum is out, the drum is out. Repeating guns! The old fisher finally said a word, and Li Xiao immediately pulled the old fisherman to run.

Repeating guns, machine guns! This year, Lao Tzu was given a hundred Gatlings, and Lao Tzu dared to enter Shenyang City.

ran to the weapon test site like a madman, and Li Xiao immediately ...... I froze.

What the hell is this? Conscience of heaven and earth, Gatling is not like this. What the hell is Inatomi doing, Transformers?

What appeared in front of Li Xiao's eyes was such a strange-looking thing, and the thirty-six barrels were arranged at three hundred and sixty degrees. There is a series of gears underneath, and the outermost is a crank handle.

No matter how you look at it, it's a flat rudder. There is no shadow of a machine gun!

"Uh......! You're ......! Li Xiao asked Daofu Youzhi with some uncertainty.

"This ......! Repeating guns! Inafuyu patted the strange-looking thing and said very confidently.

"Burst ......!" Li Xiao finally understood what kind of repeating gun this thing was. Emotions are thirty-six loaded barrels, and then the shaking of the handlebar causes the gears to turn. Turn to the front gun, and the hammer will be fired. And so on, to achieve the purpose of firing 36 guns one by one.

I have to say that this is already an epoch-making product. Because this thing has achieved continuous firing, forming a continuous firepower. The blow to the infantry is very large, but you have considered the speed of this reload. Thirty-six rounds of ammunition were fired, and the stop was half an hour. Such a gun burst has a woolen meaning!

Besides, how do you aim with your crank underneath?

Dao Fuyou saw Li Xiao coming, and turned his rocker arm very much. The guns "crackled", and the rate of fire was very impressive. Li Xiao watched quietly like that, and at this time he really wanted to be quiet.

Bullets were fired one after another, but a few of them hit the target a hundred paces away. Most of them missed, and Li Xiao kept warning himself not to care about these details. There are so many people on the battlefield, what if the blind cat beats the dead mouse!

Lao Tzu is waiting for you to finish the fight and see how you reload.

Soon, thirty-six barrels were fired. The muzzle of the gun is full of cyan smoke!

A scene that made Li Xiao's jaw drop appeared in shock, in order to achieve a quick reload. The old devil actually came up with the idea of changing the barrel of a rudder-like gun. I saw him pull a small mechanism, and immediately two strong men ran over. Thirty-six barrel discs were lifted aside and then one more was lifted from the side and mounted.

The small mechanism was pushed upwards, and the snap snapped the new rudder-like barrel coil. Inatomi shook his arm again, and the gunfire rang out again.

In a way, this thing does have sustained firepower. It's equivalent to a light machine gun with 36 bullets, but Li Xiao thinks this thing is awkward no matter how you look at it!

The barrel disc that had been hit was three more soldiers hurriedly starting to load. Li Xiao counted, and such a thing actually needed eleven soldiers to wait. Although continuous firepower is achieved, the accuracy of long-range shooting is really poor because it is difficult to aim.

What is commendable is that this thing actually has a chassis with strong maneuverability, which not only has strong maneuverability, but also has reliable performance and very good quality. This thing is ...... Wheelbarrow!

Due to the nature of the wheelbarrow, there are very few terrains that can stump this thing.

"Well, the musket can also be fired continuously. If you install a few of these things on the docks, the Tartars won't be able to get up. The old fisherman smiled so much that his forehead was about to open.

Li Xiao sighed, this is also a fucking machine gun. This is purely to disgrace the machine gun!

"Old Fisherman, how do you think this thing is aiming?"

"Uh......!" The old fisherman took a closer look and felt that there was indeed no way to aim.

"Eleven people waiting for this thing, don't you think it's too wasteful of manpower?"

"It's just ......!"

"On the battlefield, the soldiers will instinctively shake the handlebars desperately in the face of the frantic onslaught of the cavalry. Do you think turning too fast is a problem? ”

"Uh......! This one......! ”

"The most important thing is that it takes a big wagon to secure this thing. Where do you think the unicycle can go? Can the carriage get by? ”

"But after all, it's been a burst of shooting!" The old fisherman has no choice, so he can only try his best to excuse the old devil.

"I don't blame you, just that this thing isn't practical right now. You see, let's get the barrel down. Thirty-six is not needed, because the diameter of the assembly is too large. I'll look at ten barrels!

Don't rocker arms, or use the trigger to excite. This way we can easily aim!

Done? You still change the barrel the same when you reload. You can weld ten through-bars together, which also reduces the loading time. How about a reduction in the number of people to five people? ”

Li Xiao picked up a pencil and drew on the paper what a simple Gatling machine gun looks like. Although we don't have the conditions to use fixed ammunition yet, it's no problem to change the barrel. It's like a revolver, you can't just finish it with a reloaded wheel.

This kind of thing can be called a revolver rifle, which can achieve ten consecutive shots. It's just a little more troublesome to change the barrel, but it's much simpler than the rudder in front of you.

The fisherman and Dao Fuyou blinked their eyes, and carefully studied Li Xiao's abstract work. I think it's really possible!

"Don't worry! Five days, uh ......! Three days, I will definitely drum it out for you. Sledgehammer, dismantle this thing. Work! Knowing what Li Xiao meant, the old fisherman immediately shouted at the sledgehammer to work.

looked at his brainchild, and was shot by the big boss in an instant. Inatomi Youzhi's heart was also uncomfortable, but after seeing Li Xiao's drawings, his eyes lit up suddenly. The two old glasses went back to the laboratory shoulder to shoulder.

Two top scientific and technological talents, plus Li Xiao's head full of modern weapons knowledge. There are always wonderful sparks after a collision, and although this kind of repeating gun is still very primitive, it still belongs to the category of flintlock pistol. However, it is already possible to achieve continuous excitation, which is absolutely epoch-making for weapons.

We will definitely not be able to drum up the atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb, and it should be no problem to tinker with artillery.

Li Xiao immediately thought of a breech reloading in his mind, which was known for its simplicity and crudeness, great power, light weight, and easy to carry. Claimed to be the cutest companion of the infantry! Invincible within 2,000 meters!

Mortar!

This thing requires only one barrel for breech loading. As long as the pipe wall is smooth and strong enough, it will survive, and the only technical difficulty is the problem of shells. This kind of firing pin type thing needs thunder mercuric acid.

Yulao and Inafuyou went straight to study the machine gun, and if they wanted to study the mortar, they had to come by themselves.

Shout over the sledgehammer. Let him get himself a cannon barrel and carefully draw a pipe on paper. The sledgehammer pouted after looking at it, isn't it just a thick steel pipe, and you can use it yourself.

However, when the eldest brother took the lead and explained it, he could only do it. I don't know what kind of moth this leading brother with a bright head is doing!

The technology of making primer fire by soil method is actually not difficult, and Li Xiao took Li Hu to start his own scientific research. Saltpeter and realgar were thrown into the grinding disc, and Li Hu drove the donkey to grind continuously. Don't stop until it's ground into a fine powder!

With a high concentration of alcohol and iron powder, it is made into a dough-like thing, and it is a little ugly and black. Place it inside the copper fire cap, and after drying, put a little paint on it to make it finished.

In the past few days, the sledgehammer has made a cannon barrel according to Li Xiao's requirements. And according to Li Xiao's request, more than a dozen cannons were cast and popped out.

In fact, the difficulty requirements for the casting of the barrel of the mortar are not high. The phosphorus steel is already fully competent, but Li Xiao still made a few hoops with a sledgehammer at the tail of the barrel to strengthen the barrel to prevent explosion.

The focus is on the manufacture of artillery shells, and Li Xiao's manufacture is anti-personnel grenades. Between the projectile body and the charge, brush with a layer of tung oil. Once the ball is poured on, it can be glued to it.

At the bottom is the firing pin, after the shell falls along the muzzle. The firing pin hits the ground fire and ignites the propellant. Using the reaction force of the explosion, the shell can be pushed out.

Li Xiao made the barrel of the sledgehammer a little long, and Li Xiao needed to raise his hands above his head to send the cannonball in. The longer the barrel, the less likely it is that the firing pin will not be strong enough to cause a dud.

In addition, the long barrel can give the shell better stability.

After a few days of hard work, Li Xiao came to the top of the mountain with his scientific research results on this day. This is a mortar position designed by him, because the mortar is a curved artillery, so the dead angle is very small. As long as positions are built on the flat ground on the top of the hill in the guidance center, mortar fire can cover the entire island in all directions.

"Big brother, can this thing work?" Li Hu looked at Li Xiao with some concern, but the eldest brother filled the shell with a full ten catties of nitrocellulose.

"Don't worry!" Li Xiao looked at the deep pit beside him, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart. Under the condition of mature technology in later generations, there were still explosions or other accidents from time to time. This thing, who the is right.

He raised the shell with both hands, and sent the shell into free fall and slid down. Li Xiao rolled into the pit as soon as he turned over, and his body just got into the cat's ear hole next to him. I heard a "bang" from above!

Li Hu wanted to go out, but was stabbed back by Li Xiao.

After waiting for a while, I heard a dull explosion outside. Only then did Li Xiao get out of the cat's ear hole and look at the direction in which the shells were fired.
