"It's amazing...... It's really exquisite......

Bo Yu stood in front of the table, looking at the self-generated fire gun in his hand, observing and examining it over and over again, and couldn't stop admiring it in his mouth, and couldn't put it down.

He had just pulled the trigger of the firearm in his hand, and the flint on the hammer slammed into the firesickle, and he could clearly see the sparks flying out of it.

Then he had the equipment he brought to dismantle one of the self-generated firebolts and inspect them carefully.

After a long time, Bo Yu's excited mood finally calmed down, and he sat back on the chair, still holding an intact self-generated fire gun in his hand.

"Students have been fond of mechanical weapons since childhood, especially for new things, and this gaffe makes adults laugh."

Bo Yu was apologetic, when Chen Wang asked people to send the self-generated fire gun, he couldn't help but put all his mind on the self-generated fire gun, and even forgot that Chen Wang was still waiting for him in the hall.

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Wang was naturally not angry because of these trivial things, on the contrary, Bo Yu's professionalism and insight made Chen Wang more and more happy.

Being able to concentrate without distractions is undoubtedly a great help for those engaged in scientific research and technology.

"I wonder if Mr. Bo can be sure to imitate this self-generated firebolt?"

Bo Yu's originally pale face even regained a little blood color because of excitement, and when he heard Chen Wang's inquiry, he replied with a smile.

"The principle of this object was already known when I consulted the "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons", and with this principle in place, it is not difficult to imitate it."

"The biggest difference between this gun and the bird gun in my Ming army today is that the ignition device is different."

"The bird gun in my Ming army uses a fire rope to ignite the fire, but this self-generated fire gun uses flint to make fire."

Bo Yu put the intact self-generated fire gun in his hand on the tabletop, and then separated a V-shaped *** from some parts disassembled on the tabletop.

"This thing is the most important component of the self-generated firebolt, and it is also the biggest difficulty in imitation, it is precisely because of this thing that the dragon head has kinetic energy, and this thing affects whether the gun can be successfully fired."

"But it's not difficult for me to make a qualified ***, I just need to adjust some steps and improve some processes."

Bo Yu's chin is slightly raised, and the skill of the self-generated fire gun is not high, and the only difficulty is ***, but this is not a problem for him.

Not only did he have the confidence to create a gun that came from a fire, but he was also sure to improve the reliability of such guns.

"It's just...... I'm afraid this self-generated fire gun will not meet the requirements of the commander-in-chief......

Bo Yu frowned again, he had been in Hanzhong Mansion for a while.

Although he spent most of his time recuperating, he also went to the Ordnance Bureau in the city to see the situation in the workshop and learned a lot of things.

On the side of the armory, Chen Wang asked for the bird gun to be made, the first power is the second is the range.

Compared with the bird guns used in the ordinary Ming army, the bird guns that Chen Wang asked to make were more powerful and had a stronger armor-piercing effect, but the range was also much shorter.

And the barrel of this self-generated fire gun is shorter, more than a star and a half shorter than that of the bird gun, and it tends to be shorter, the power is naturally not large, and the range is also closer.

"Naturally, it's not up to par."

Chen Wang nodded, he asked Bo Yu to imitate the way of ignition that was just a self-generated fire, and it was also a flint fire, not a complete imitation.

"This is a picture and text I drew about the new firecracker, Mr. Bo can take a look."

Chen Wang reached out and took out a folded drawing from his sleeve, then unfolded it and spread it on the table.

"I want the new guns to be made in this way."

Bo Yu raised his eyes and looked at it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

The drawings Chen Wang put on the table depicted a new type of firecracker, but in terms of appearance, it could be said to be extremely beautiful, much better than all the firecrackers he had ever seen.

Bo Yu noticed the firecracker, the ignition device on the drawing

The depictions are extremely detailed, even illustrated, and some of the details are even more elaborately designed.

However, he was already familiar with these things by heart when he had observed the structure of the self-generated fire gun before, and what surprised Bo Yu was that the drawings given by Chen Wang not only had side drawings with those ordnance books, but also drawings from above, as well as drawings with zoomed in details.

The design of this firebolt is commendable in many ways.

"Lord Commander, don't you know what these two designs are for......

Bo Yu looked at the drawings in front of him, feeling very novel, most of the places he knew, but he still had a few questions, and pointed to the drawings and asked.

Chen Wang looked at the place where Bo Yu pointed at it, and the position of Bo Yu's finger was exactly where the head and tail of the gun were located.

"The tail of the gun is the butt of the gun, when the gun soldier shoots with the gun, he holds the trigger in one hand and the barrel in the other hand, and uses the butt against the shoulder as a support, so that the accuracy of shooting can be higher."

During this period, many firecrackers did not have butts, and although the bird guns mounted by the Ming army looked like they had butts, they actually basically did not have the effect of pressing against the shoulders.

Equipped with a buttstock, it can greatly improve the stability and reliability of the firearm.

"This is the sleeve, where the bayonet is equipped, and you can understand it as a spear."

At this time, there were already swords that could be inserted into the muzzle of the musket, and this kind of bayonet was called the "plug bayonet".

However, the plug-type bayonet had the disadvantages of poor connection, which hindered shooting.

The casing bayonet, which was specially sleeved to fix the bayonet on the outside of the barrel, was not invented until the end of the 17th century.

At this point, the Musketeers can finally form an independent army without relying on other classes, and play the role of both long-range fire projection and melee charge.

Later, it led to the queue shooting tactics completely replacing all tactics and tactics.

"I'm going to design a short bayonet that can be put directly into this position when the time comes, which is a sleeve bayonet."

"When facing the enemy, the bayonets on the guns can resist the enemy, and they can become independent kings, and there is no need to arrange pikemen to cover them in front."

Bo Yu's eyes moved slightly, although he had never fought any battles, but he had studied ordnance for many years, and when Chen Wang had just said the bayonet, he had already thought of the use.

After Chen Wang explained the key to it, Bo Yu thought of the role of application.

The fire gun is extremely powerful, and the qualified bird gun, there are almost not many armor stomachs at medium and close distances to resist its power, and it is dead in the middle, and it is crippled when it is rubbed.

Compared to bows and arrows, firebolts are quicker to pick up and easier to train.

The only flaw is the speed of reloading, and the fact that it can only shoot horizontally, and you have to step out of the formation, so you don't get much protection.

But now, this new type of musket has changed to the firing method of self-generated firearms, which is already a great saving on the speed of reloading.

Moreover, when Bo Yu observed the armory workshop to test the gun, he also noticed that Chen Wangjun's firecrackers basically carried a lot of small paper tubes, and they directly tore apart and loaded the ammunition and loaded them, which saved a lot of time.

In this way, I am afraid that it is the time for the original bird gun to shoot one shot, and this kind of long fire gun with a self-generated fire gun ignition device can shoot two or even three rounds, and the density of the firepower has increased several times.

And with this sleeve bayonet, it is undoubtedly possible to solve the second problem - when the musketeers shoot, they need to step out of the military formation, and there is basically no protection.

When the enemy is swarming, the musketeers armed with bayonets no longer need to retreat behind the pikemen and shield men, but can continue firing with their bayonets loaded.

By the time the enemy is about to rush closer, these new muskets will soon be used as long guns.

These new guns were designed to be five feet long, and the length of a one-foot-long bayonet was already six feet.

If it was the original bird's gun, it would have been necessary to shoot at a distance of distance, and even if it was to use this bayonet, it would be useless.

However, the new type of firecracker uses the lighter method of self-generated firecracker, and it can stand together.

In this way, the gun array can be completed.

All ideas are closely linked to each other.

Bo Yu Huoran raised his head, looked at Chen Wang, and said in admiration.

"The talent of the chief soldier is enough to be the master of all workers, the student has studied ordnance for many years, and he already thinks it is exquisite when he sees the self-generated fire, but compared to the design of the chief soldier, this self-generated firearm is not more than Erer."

Chen Wang was a little embarrassed because of Bo Yu's sudden change of attitude, and the reason why he was able to come up with these things was because he knew the trajectory of the development of the later generations very well.

The drawings of the new firearm he gave to Bo Yu were based on the shape of the "brown bass flintlock rifle" installed in the British army in the 18th century, and the design concept was naturally very advanced, after all, it was nearly a hundred years later.

His memory is strengthened in all directions, and he can recall not only the history books he has read before.

When looking at the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Chen Wang naturally paid attention to the various firearms at that time.

For such a famous firearm as the brown bass flintlock rifle, Chen Wang had naturally seen the drawings, and it was not difficult to draw it with his memory.

Although it is impossible to completely imitate the brown bess flintlock rifle due to technical limitations, the advanced design concept still has great advantages and can avoid many detours.

Of course, Chen Wang also made a little, and did not completely copy it.

The accuracy of the records of birds and other instruments in the Ming period was much greater than that of Europe in the same period.

The reason why the bird gun of the Ming Dynasty is accurate is largely because there is a light door behind the gun, and there is a front sight in front, three points and one line, which is naturally accurate.

And the fire system in the West, until the beginning of the nineteenth century, except for a small front sight in front, did not shine at all.

And the brown bass flintlock rifle that accompanied the British *** team to the world did not have such a thing as a door.

When Chen Wang was drawing the drawings, he naturally noticed this detail, and specially added the door and crosshairs.

"However, I am afraid that there are some technical problems with this bayonet designed by the commander-in-chief, and it is difficult to realize......

Bo Yu regained his composure, and he looked at the drawings placed on the table, his face embarrassed.

This sleeve-type bayonet can indeed enhance the combat power of the army and make up for the shortcomings of the hands of the firearms.

However, the requirements for craftsmanship are not low, and the current craftsmen of the Hanzhong Guard Weapons Bureau may not be able to do it.

Regarding the question Bo Yu said, Chen Wang did not show a disappointed expression.

"The problem of bayonets is not urgent for the time being, and the new firecrackers made in the early stage can be made without bayonets."

The problem of the bayonet is now limited to the iron-smelting process of the Hanzhong Guard Ordnance Bureau, and some technologies are not up to standard.

The bayonets used today require a high level of steel strength, and most of the enemies wear armor, and if the steel is not strong enough, the flintlock pistol equipped with the bayonet will not be able to have the same melee combat ability as the spear.

And there is another problem, which lies in the production process of this era.

For sleeve-type bayonets, the bayonet and the inner wall of the sleeve need to be the same to be tightened, and the craftsman needs to polish them separately.

Grinding alone will inevitably take a lot of time, and the output will be very low.

Nowadays, the production capacity of the Hanzhong Guard Ordnance Bureau itself is not high, so naturally there are not many people.

Chen Wang is clear about these situations, and now he can only choose to compromise for the time being.

I can only wait until the process and skill of iron smelting are improved before I can equip the bayonet.

Chen Wang was about to talk about another topic, when he suddenly thought of another thing, and said at the moment.

"By the way, see if you can design a strap for this new bird gun, preferably attached to the lower part of the gun, and the other end can be scraped at the trigger position, so that you can carry it directly on your shoulders when marching, and always wear it on your shoulders when you don't have to."

[In view of the general environment,

"It's not that hard, it just takes some time.

It's just that there don't seem to be many craftsmen in the Arsenal Bureau of Sojo now, and the production capacity may be reduced as a result......

Bo Yu groaned slightly and replied.

Chen Wang frowned slightly, the number of craftsmen was indeed a big problem.

"There are now 170 armorers in the Ordnance Bureau, which is a small number at present, but I will arrange personnel to continue to recruit craftsmen to fill the vacancies......

Chen Wang suddenly stopped speaking in the middle of speaking, and just now, he thought of something.

Now it is difficult to recruit craftsmen in Hanzhong Mansion because there are not many craftsmen in Hanzhong Prefecture, and it is difficult to recruit craftsmen in other places because craftsmen have their origins and cannot easily leave their nationality.

But now there is a place where he can recruit quite a few craftsmen, although it is not legal, but this route is indeed a try.

When he was in Chunhua, Hong Chengchou once mobilized the Xi'an Guards to defend Chunhua, and the guard officer who led the guards was Luo Guizhong, the commander of the Xi'an avant-garde.

In the first battle of Chunhua, Luo Guizhong shared a lot of military exploits from it.

At that time, when they were separated, Luo Guizhong thanked him for his kindness and said that if there was something, he could bother him.

Now Luo Guizhong seems to have become the commander of the Xi'an avant-garde.

Originally, Luo Guizhong first became a commander with Chunhua's military exploits.

Later, Sun Chuanting rectified the guard, and the commander of the Xi'an avant-garde didn't know how powerful Sun Chuanting was, so he only thought that he had no ability like the previous governor Gan Xuekuo, so he had to stand up.

As a result, he naturally couldn't even be a commander, and was directly pushed to the end, and even almost beheaded by Sun Chuanting to show the public.

The commander of the Xi'an avant-garde fell to Luo Guizhong's head in this way......
