Chapter 24: Thunder is striking in the east of the city

Li Yu made six projectiles in front of everyone at the head of the master, and then got up and said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

He turned back to the guards beside him and said, "Find a plank and look for me at the east gate." ”

The guards ran away, while Li Yu led everyone to the east gate.

Far away, I saw Zhang Yi with more than a dozen people, carrying wooden barrels, already waiting there.

He said hello, walked a few miles east, found a big tree by the side of the road, stopped, and said, "Here it is." ”

The effort is not great, the planks are lifted, good fellows, it has to be three meters long and one meter wide.

"Put the planks on the trees."

These people didn't know what King De was going to do, but they were lying on the roots of the tree.

He had to personally command.

After that, let everyone stay away.

He opened the pistol's nest, poured the gunpowder from the barrel into the nest hole with a small wooden spoon, compacted the gunpowder with the pistol's own loading rod, and then loaded the lead bullet from the front, and then pressed the lead bullet with the loading rod to make the gunpowder and the projectile tightly compacted.

In this way, he pressed six projectiles in a row.

After that, snap the wheel into the card slot.

Li Yu moved away from the duckbill hammer and took out a small piece of flint, that is, a flint, from his body, and sandwiched it in the duck's beak.

Under the lighter was a pool of gunpowder, in which he sprinkled some gunpowder, and that was it.

He came thirty paces away from the plank, raised his gun to the plank, and pulled the trigger.

Rumble!

A puff of green smoke filled the air.

The smell of gunpowder at the scene was scattered.

There was silence all around.

Zhang Yi, Gao Jiangtou and the other technical backbones who came with them looked at King De stupidly one by one, this Wuqu Xingjun is going to destroy the world again? !

Li Yu ran through the green smoke towards the big tree, but there was nothing on the plank, but a big hole was made in the trunk of the big tree.

Looks like there's no rifling, it's really unlikely!

Li Yu ran back, this time he couldn't be too casual, he poured gunpowder into the medicine pool again, held the gun in both hands, and aimed at the wooden plank.

Rumble!

Another thunderclap.

Looking at the plank again, this time a large piece of flesh had been bitten off the edge of the board.

Well, again!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Four craters were fired from the planks in front.

Li Yu's face was also dark, like Bao Gong.

Ah! It's thundering in the East Side!

The people in Nanyang City didn't know that King De was testing the gun, so they heard six explosions and thunders in the east of the city one after another.

Even the soldiers guarding the gate craned their necks to look this way.

"Your Highness, O God-man!"

Hulala, Zhang Yi led the group of people to their knees.

How do they know what's going on?

I saw a flash of fire in King De's hand, it was a thunderbolt, and the wooden plank in front of the big tree crackled and sounded, isn't this the thunder in the palm of his hand!

Now, they have long forgotten what gunpowder is.

Li Yu's face was dark, his hair exploded, and the person was still in the mist, what is not a fairy?!

"Get up, don't kneel."

"Master Craftsman, come, let me tell you, what's ...... inside this barrel"

The master craftsman's mind was blank, and King De didn't remember anything he told him.

Li Yu sighed proudly when he saw that these people were unrelenting, it seemed that he had to get used to it slowly.

After going back, Li Yu repeated his request.

Let them make rifling in the barrel, which is much easier to do because of the short barrel.

There is also the fine-tuning of the size of the parts, especially the gap between the nest and the barrel should be small, it is best to do it tightly, anyway, the gap is small.

With the experience of the last production, this time the modification is much faster, and the modified parts are completed the next day.

It's the same tree from yesterday, and the planks are still standing there.

Rumble!

The first shot was not very ideal, but the hit rate of the target was noticeably improved.

Rumble!

This time not only hit the target, but also shot in the center of the plank, which is good.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Six shots in a row, guns hit.

Reload, distance yourself, and continue.

This time it's sixty steps.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Four out of six shots hit.

Again.

Until a hundred steps.

Only two of the six shots hit.

That's good.

Now there is no copper cap primer, and there is only a general.

Li Yu didn't want to think about it, what era is now, this pistol of his is a Tianzi gold finger!

"Master Craftsman, each of your Shenji Workshop will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars!"

These craftsmen don't know what's going on at all, so they're rewarded again?!

"With the final dimensions, we start making the parts. How many sets can you make in a month? ”

"Your Highness, the main problem is the material, if the material is sufficient, according to the current manpower, it can make sixty sets a month, and the quality cannot be guaranteed if there is more."

"Well, hurry up!"

"Zhang joins the army, they want the black iron from the Shenji Workshop, you want to buy more, if you don't have it, you can make it yourself, anyway, you have to do everything you can to get it!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Since then, the sound of thunder has been heard every day outside the eastern city.

Over time, the common people knew that it was His Royal Highness King De practicing his magic skills in Dongcheng!

It is impossible for Li Yu to install these guns himself, and he really doesn't have that kung fu.

So after the parts are cast, they will be taken to another small yard. This is the final assembly workshop of Li Yu's "Nanyang Six Guns".

The workers inside were all women, and they were illiterate peasant women.

Every day comes empty-handed and leaves empty-handed.

Each person is only responsible for one assembly step.

The twenty or so women were ingenious, and they only assembled two guns a day, not because they were too busy, but because they couldn't produce them.

Wait for the tung oil on the handle to dry for three or four days, and the gun can be tested and put into storage.

The gunshots in the east of the city every day are the palace guards checking the guns, six shots of projectiles for 30 paces to be six shots and six hits, 60 steps to six shots for three hits, and 100 steps to six shots and one shot.

Since having this magical treasure, Fang Xing, Li Xiong, and Fang Liang have to go to "thunder" in person every day, this thing is too majestic, and he is like a thunder god.

Not only them, but even the Dianjun Wei Ai also tried his best to enjoy it.

Li Yu promised them that in the future, the palace guards would have one.

These guards began to fantasize every day, when would they have a "thunder in their palms"?!

In order to fill the gunpowder pool faster, Li Yu asked Mufang to make a large number of gunpowder gourds.

This thing was originally used by the common people to hold wine, but now it has become a container for gunpowder.

A small iron spout is installed in the mouth of the gourd, which can be taken down.

After putting the gunpowder into the gourd, the iron mouth is loaded.

There is a mouth stop made of steel on the iron mouthpiece. At this time, the spring can't be done, the steel sheet can still be made, and the small steel sheet can be made by folding and forging.

If you press the mouth to open the block, you can pour gunpowder out of the gourd, and if you let go of the gourd mouth, the gunpowder will not come out.

The Shenji Workshop was busy casting parts, the guards were busy inspecting the guns, and this batch of pistols was in the latest treasury of the state government, strictly guarded inside and out.

Zhang Yi's pharmacy recently received an order from Li Yu to order them to order bulk gunpowder.

This is so that the gunner can increase the speed when loading, and at the same time, the gunpowder loading should also be quantitative, so that the amount of gunpowder in each bullet nest tends to be the same, the range and kinetic energy are basically the same, and the pistol is also a kind of protection, which can prolong the service life.

Their pharmacy makes oil-paper pre-filled drugs.

The paper is wound around a wooden stick of uniform thickness, pasted into a small cylinder with a glue, and then the bottom is also glued, passed through in tung oil, and then dried in a cool and ventilated place to form a small cylinder of oil paper.

Fill a quantitative wooden cylinder with gunpowder, then pour it into an oiled paper cylinder, compact, twist the other end together, and tie it with a thread.

When using, tear it open with your mouth and pour gunpowder into the nest.

To increase the tightness of the projectile inside the barrel, a small pit was dug with a tool in the center of the tail of the buckshot.

In this way, when shooting, due to the gas pressure, the lead body at the tail of the lead bullet expands to all sides, which will seal the space between the projectile and the barrel, and the projectile will increase its muzzle velocity and shoot farther.

In order to match the use of pistol weapons, Li Yu also placed an order for leather mills to make belts, bullet waist packs, and gunpowder bags.

Holsters were also made.

In fact, this "thunder in the palm of your hand" is extremely powerful, it can penetrate a five-centimeter plank in 30 steps, a two-centimeter plank in 60 steps, and a one-centimeter plank in 100 steps.

It can be said that it is extremely powerful.

It's just that the lead bullet is very soft, and the person in the iron armor may only have a stopping effect, but it can't penetrate his armor, but it may break a few ribs.
