Unexpectedly

Zhang Changlin's face did not have the slightest wave, and he said with a smile: "Boy, you know if you catch any person on the street of firearms and ask, you are so smart." ”

This pouring of cold water mixed with ridicule poured directly on Shi Yi's head, and his face was slightly stiff and suddenly embarrassed.

Zhang Changlin smiled, snorted and continued to walk outside the palace.

Shi Yi was stunned in place, he had been secretly guessing the identity of this old man just now, seeing that he was wearing a first-class official uniform, and now he was holding a firearm in his hand to enter and leave the palace smoothly.

It seems that the identity of this old man is not simple, I am afraid that it is related to the imperial court and military institutions, and even the person in charge may not be able to say.

He secretly thought that he could take this opportunity to get the attention of this old man, and then rely on the scientific research experience he had accumulated in his previous life, and it would be no problem to improve this old test firearm a little.

If that's the case, you'll be done!

What Shi Yi didn't expect was that, judging from his tone just now, this firearm was probably not rare in this era.

To put it bluntly, he still knows a little about the world, and many places are similar but not the same.

Take the scarlet first-grade official uniform on the old man's body as an example, embroidering cranes and python claws on his shoulders.

The color is the Ming Dynasty, but the embroidery is the Qing Dynasty.

This is completely different from the historical dynasties that Shi Yi knows.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then pulled his legs and chased forward, and at this time Zhang Changlin had already walked in front of Xihuamen.

Shi Yi didn't think much about it, and chased straight after him.

stopped in front of him and said with a smile: "Boss, you let the kid finish his words!" ”

Zhang Changlin glared and said, "Stinky boy, get out of the way, the old man doesn't have the heart to joke with you." ”

Shi Yi stepped aside and said with a smile as he followed: "Boss, can you show me the firearm in your hand, I can guess which one it is with just one glance." ”

Zhang Changlin only pretended not to hear, walked forward without looking back, and quickened his pace under his feet, ignoring it.

Shi Yi was not in a hurry and paid attention in his heart, so he followed closely and kept chattering in his ear, like a fly.

After walking out of the Xihua Gate, there were two carriages parked next to the official road.

Zhang Changlin blew his beard angrily and walked straight towards the first carriage.

Seeing the situation, Shi Yi ran a few steps ahead of his carriage and waited.

Zhang Changlin was stunned in place, and sighed deeply: "Boy, don't bother the old man anymore, how can this firearm be seen casually?"

Shi Yi was cheeky and said with a smile: "Boss, it's okay if you don't give it to me, you can just take it out of your hand, and I'll just take a look at it." ”

Zhang Changlin shook his head, passed past him, stepped on the horse stool and bent into the carriage.

This old man is really stubborn!

Shi Yi couldn't help but say a word, and then said to him urgently: "Is it called the "Self-Generated Fire Gun" in the old man's hand, it is to use a spring to drive the hammer to hit the flint shard, and through the rapid friction with the flint flint flake, sparks are generated to ignite the gunpowder, and then it is launched. ”

Zhang Changlin had just lifted the curtain and was about to enter, when he heard this, his face couldn't help but be stunned, so he turned around and asked, "Your father told you that?" ”

This time I guessed it!

Shi Yi took a step forward with a smile, stuck to the spokes of the carriage, and hit the railway while it was hot: "My father didn't reveal half a word, but the kid likes to read the "Luban Sutra" since he was a child, and he is very interested in these things, so he knows a thing or two. ”

"You kid still like to read?" Zhang Changlin looked at him with a smile, obviously skeptical of his words.

Shi Yi touched the bridge of his nose, and said with a straight face: "The old man said that he was joking, there are poems: he has always supported Xu You, and he is interested in the rivers and lakes, and the kid is no exception."

Recently, I also read a Western craftsman's book called "The Complete Handbook of Firearms", which records in detail all kinds of Western firearms. He deliberately threw bricks and leads.

Zhang Changlin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wondered: "There are still such classics?"

The corners of Shi Yi's mouth raised slightly, and he smiled: "This book records in detail the history and internal structure of the development and evolution of Western firearms. ”

Zhang Changlin frowned and said, "Westerners are not afraid that this cheat will be stolen?"

Shi Yi smiled faintly: "The boss is too worried, you are in the imperial court, you should know more than the kid, these are just light weapons, and the probability of being imitated is very large, what is really difficult to mold is warships, artillery, machine guns, and such heavy weapons." ”

"Good boy, what do you see from Western books?" Zhang Changlin looked at it differently.

It's been fooled.

Shi Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and humbly said: "The kid is only a shallow learner, and he only reads a few books to talk about himself in vain, so don't laugh at the boss." ”

When Zhang Changlin heard this, he couldn't help but look at him deeply, and when he turned to enter the compartment, he dropped a sentence lightly: "Come up!" ”

Seeing his attitude change, he felt playful.

Shi Yi was overjoyed, and got into the carriage without thinking too much.

As soon as he sat down, Zhang Changlin smiled and said, "Boy, you guessed wrong again." ”

Shi Yi was slightly stunned.

Zhang Changlin spread his hands flat, lifted the wrapping cloth, and showed it to him.

Shi Yi was able to take a closer look, he leaned over a little closer, from the butt to the barrel, the front and back of the gun.

Zhang Changlin suddenly retracted it, took out a red cloth on the side and wrapped it again.

Glancing at him, he said, "Have you seen enough this time?"

Shi Yi scratched his head and said with a smile: "It would be better if I could take a look at it." ”

"Stinky boy, don't get an inch." Zhang Changlin glared at him, and said, "If you've seen enough, let's go down!" Stop pestering the old man. ”

Shi Yi pretended not to hear it, and said to himself: "The musket in the boss's hand, if the kid is not wrong this time, it is a self-fired musket, right?" But... It's a little shorter. ”

This gun is the target of this transformation, and since the time of Emperor Taizu, it has been equipped with firearms battalions, janissaries, and some border troops, and the people of Dashun have seen it, so the name is even more common.

Zhang Changlin looked at him like a fool at this time, staring straight at him.

Looking at his calm expression, Shi Yi was puzzled, and said secretly: "Could it be that he is wrong again?"

Zhang Changlin sighed and said, "Boy, get out of my place quickly!" ”

This time, the tone was not so resolute, as if pleading with him.

Shi Yi continued to laugh and said, "Don't worry, boss, please let me say one last word." ”

Zhang Changlin snorted: "Say it quickly." ”

Shi Yi said lightly: "Compared with the old-fashioned arquebus, although this gun has improved the firing principle, it can still be filled with gunpowder in the front hall, and the shortcomings are also obvious, the firing rate is very low, the hit rate is also low, and it is still not as far as the bow and arrow." ”

"I don't need to say that." Zhang Changlin didn't have a good airway.

Shi Yi thought for a while and said tentatively: "The kid may have a way to improve, I wonder if the boss wants to hear it?"

"Oh?" Zhang Changlin suddenly felt interesting when he heard this, and said curiously: "Then you should talk about it." ”

Shi Yi frowned and said: "If you want to go further, you must continue to improve the firing principle of the gun, replace the flint with a firing pin, and change from flint to firing."

This will not only increase the efficiency of reloading, but also the breech ...."

"Alright."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

Zhang Changlin smiled and said: "You kid, you have some knowledge, but it's a pity that these Westerners you said have already come out."

Their guns are either pinprick shots, or breech-loading ammunition. ”

After speaking, he shook his head and sighed deeply.

When Shi Yi heard this, he opened his mouth slightly in disbelief.

Did you even get this thing out?
