With the addition of Mozigan, the research and development of weapons has been further advanced. For the particle gunpowder in his memory, Wu Yunlin also gave guidance.

As for the gunpowder formula on the Internet in later generations, it is natural to tell it all. In addition to changing the ratio of materials between the gunpowder, this recipe also added egg whites and other substances, so that the gunpowder produced would become granular.

What he didn't expect was that the range and power of the musket were actually greater than before, and he was not at ease after a test firing, so he finished shooting all the wet gunpowder, and finally determined that the range and power had indeed increased by almost half!

Wu Yunlin, who got the news, did not rashly believe it, but after listening to the whole process of the whole incident described by Master Kong and Mo Zigan, he asked people to take a bag of gunpowder, wet it with egg white, stir it well, and then dry it again.

In the end, it was divided into small pieces, carefully crushed into granules, and tested it himself, and finally concluded that it was indeed more powerful than the previous powdered gunpowder.

Sure enough, the ancients should not be underestimated, what they lacked was just the accumulation of time.

Now that the granular gunpowder is available, Wu Yunlin thought about it for a while, so let the customized gunpowder also come out.

Due to the large amount of iron ore mining now, the production of steel has skyrocketed, so there is enough steel to make the new gunpowder gun, the old double-clad gunpowder gun has basically been discontinued, only occasionally made as a training equipment for soldiers.

One of the advantages of the new muskets is that they are made of steel of uniform size, under the same size of boring cutter, cut by hand, although the error is still there, but for the less delicate musket required, it can already be called a uniform specification.

Basically, it can be regarded as an assembly line product in later generations, so at this time the benefits of fixed gunpowder will be revealed. 、

In the previous old-fashioned muskets, due to different personal craftsmanship and production reasons, there was a large error in the inner tube of each gun, so the charge of each gun was different.

As a result, the gunner had to figure out the best charge for his gun, and it was not exchangeable with each other, so that if a person was killed on the battlefield, the person behind his gun would not be able to pick it up and use it immediately.

However, the fixed gunpowder and the new musket perfectly solve this problem, under the factor of very small error, there is no need to consider the problem of different charges, then it is only necessary to fix the charge in advance, and the gunners can use the gun at any time, and will not delay the battle.

After communicating with Mozigan, Wu Yunlin was shocked by Mozigan's whimsical idea, and quickly found a few new muskets, and then found the optimal charge by shooting, and then wrapped the gunpowder and bullets in paper respectively.

After instructing the Ordnance Department to make some test products, Wu Yunlin found a few veteran shooters and asked them to test shoot, and Master Kong and Mo Zigan were among them.

In the past, gunpowder was loaded with a bucket to the muzzle, which was very convenient and trouble-free. This time it was wrapped in paper, and the movement was a little cumbersome.

I saw Master Kong and Mozigan pick up a small paper bag, tear it open, and then slowly pour the gunpowder into the barrel, and then put the bullet in it, tamp it with a whole strip, then light the fire rope, pull the trigger, and bang, the bullet was shot, and almost at the same time, the rest of the people also fired the musket.

After a few shots, Master Kong and Mo Zigan found that this kind of fixed gunpowder was far more convenient than the medicine bucket, and he didn't have to think about how much gunpowder he needed to load, what would happen if he poured more or less.

To order gunpowder, you just need to put all the gunpowder into the barrel.

After several rounds of test firing, Wu Yunlin and the others came to the conclusion that a skilled gunner can probably achieve the level of three rounds a minute, and an ordinary soldier can basically do two rounds a minute, which is far more efficient than before.

Wu Yunlin is very satisfied with this takeover, although there are only two rounds in a minute, but according to the theory of three strikes, six bullets can be fired in one minute, although the initial design speed is still not comparable to the bow and arrow, but the good thing is that the range is long and the staying power is strong!

In this regard, Wu Yunlin discussed with Xiong Ge and others, and set up a new department, called the ammunition workshop, to specialize in the production of gunpowder and hand it over to Dumb.

Wu Yunlin also specially explained to Dumb, fireworks must be strictly prohibited, and those who violate the order will not be pardoned!

Wu Yunlin, who had ordered gunpowder, had a new idea in his heart, because of the inconvenience of carrying gunpowder, coupled with the long distance, and the difficulty of supplying ships, he could only hold all his thoughts in his heart when he wanted to attack the bandits.

Wu Yunlin led Dumb in the raw material processing room of the workshop, carefully observing the sulfur ore that was crushed by the stone mill, pinching a pinch of powder with his hand and twisting it lightly on his fingers, frowning and saying: "Dumb, these sulfur ores are not refined enough, and they can't prepare the gunpowder I want with it, so you can arrange a few more people to grind it with a stone mill a few more times." ”

Dumb also followed Wu Yunlin's example, pinched a pinch of powder with his hand and rubbed it on his fingers, obviously feeling very rough, and it was indeed far from the powder he said.

He nodded, "Okay, sir." I promise that the raw materials must be handled well this time, and the black powder that Mr. Mo said must be prepared, otherwise I am sorry for the expectations of adults. ”

Wu Yunlin stretched out his hand and knocked a chestnut on his head, "Do you think about anything else all day except knowing how to eat?" The skill I taught you yesterday, do you have any good students to study? ”

Dumb "oops", and hurriedly replied: "My lord, don't worry, the minion has already copied a copy with several other masters, and I promise that I will not disappoint you." But do you think everything in that book is true? There are a lot of symbols on it that the disciples can't understand at all. ”

Wu Yunlin raised his face and glared at him, "That book is given by the gods, how can it be fake." I didn't see that your Master Kong and Mo Zigan were already in their hands, studying hard, and they even forgot to eat. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, not thinking that this Mo family was really obsessed with adult knowledge.

Dumb personally operated the stone grinder, carefully grinding and crushing the sulfur ore over and over again, until he couldn't feel rough when rubbing it with his hands, and then he gave up.

Dumb is dealing with the sulphur ore here, and a few other people are dealing with other raw materials on the side. Although this time it is handmade, because of the careful processing, it has been milled dozens of times, and the processed raw materials are all powdered, which is not the same as the last handmade one.

Wu Yunlin personally mixed the corresponding amount of nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal together according to the black powder formula provided on the Internet in later generations, and in order to stir it more evenly and thoroughly, he did not choose to make ten catties of gunpowder directly this time, but chose the amount of one catty.

He found a large urn, poured a pound of mixed gunpowder powder into the urn, then covered the mouth of the urn, and shook it upside down, left and right, so that they were mixed more thoroughly.

After stopping, Wu Yunlin Wu Yunlin remembered what he had said to him on the Internet, if you want to make gunpowder burn more powerful and easier to preserve from moisture, the best way is to make it into granules.

There was even a simple explanation of how to granulate the powder on the Internet in later generations, but this method was also from his book, and it was not verified by practice, and Wu Yunlin himself did not know whether it was feasible. And all this needs to be tested by Wu Yunlin himself.

Wu Yunlin followed the method taught on the Internet, found three taels of good soju, poured it into the urn to synthesize mud, and then into the trough, continued to grind dozens of times, and mixed into grains after the trough, such as the size of yellow rice, it must be put into the palm of the hand without feeling the heat, so that it can be.

After making granulated black powder, Wu Yunlin immediately took it to find Mo Zigan, who was studying gunpowder and writing materials in the study at this moment.

After hearing that Wu Yunlin had granulated black powder, he was very excited, hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, found Master Kong, and continued to test the power of granulated black powder.

Still in the teaching field, using a ceramic grenade made of granulated black powder to try to fry a goat.

The ignorant goat was tied to a tree with a rope, and he still did not feel the danger coming, and kept bowing his head to nibble on the grass that had gradually withered and yellowed on the ground.

Mozigan placed the grenade underneath the goat, lit the fuse, and fled quickly. He'd heard the old man say that this time the grenade would be more powerful than the last time.

The grenade last time was terrifying enough, but won't it kill people this time? Rao is Mozi is a strong and unrivaled kung fu, and he doesn't want to try the consequences of being blown up by a grenade.

"Boom!"

With an earth-shattering bang, the goat screamed and flew into the sky, and even the rope that held it was broken by a grenade. Then, in the midst of everyone's stunned eyes, they saw the severed limbs and blood of the blown goat scattered all over the ground, and they saw that they could not live.

Dumb's mouth opened wide, and he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, "Okay, what a terrifying power." ”

There was a look of surprise in his eyes on the net, "This is the carefully crafted granular black powder, which is a one-third more powerful than before." It used to be able to seriously injure a goat, but now it can be killed directly. This...... That's the gunpowder I need. ”

Wu Yunlin's eyes showed an unbearable look, he didn't expect that the black powder would be so powerful after it was carefully crushed back to the grinding granular. He turned his head and said worriedly, "Mozi is dry, won't this hurt the heavens too much?" ”

Mozi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Daoist Wang, you can think like this, which proves that you have a compassionate heart. It's just that gunpowder is just a tool after all, and what kind of consequences can it cause depends on how the person who uses it uses it? ”

"If it is used to kill people, it is indeed harmful. But if you use it to blow up mountains and open the way, you should know how much time and physical strength it can save from hard labor. ”

Mozi was stunned, and sighed lightly for a long time, "That's true, I'm too one-sided." It's just that this is a big killer, and it can't be easily leaked out, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

The Internet laughed: "Mozi can think like this, Wu is relieved." Why did Wu insist on inviting the Taoist chief to test gunpowder, just because he didn't want its formula to spread. Wu believed that the Taoist would be able to keep this secret. ”

Mo Zigan and Master Kong said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Lord Wu, I will definitely not let it leak a bit, and Poor Dao will take care of his apprentices and keep his tongue tight." ”
