Zhang Qi ordered people to take the target, and the shadow guards were about to move but stopped when they saw Bai Xing walking over.

Don't look at Bai Xing as a woman, but those who are good enough to serve as Zhang Qi's close attendants are all selected from the best of the Iron Lady Army.

After all, he could only train a group of women to be combatants in the case of adapting measures to local conditions.

And for a long time, these women played even more roles than male soldiers.

But with the increase in manpower, the status of female soldiers has gradually become embarrassing, in terms of combat ability, they often have to spend more than one or two times the effort of male soldiers to be on par with ordinary male soldiers, which also makes female commanders have quite opinions for a long time.

But if you can't keep up with your physical fitness, you can't keep up, although under the ratio of women to men, female soldiers can occasionally produce a few demonic characters, but the scarcity of the number also makes these talented female soldiers can only serve as Zhang Qi's personal guards and cannot be used as combat arms.

This situation lasted for a long time among female soldiers.

Then, the female soldiers were completely reformed, and the archers who followed Zhang Qi's closest line at the beginning were changed to medical troops who used battlefield first aid.

Today, almost 70 percent of the nurses in Liaodi are trained by the women's military camp in Naqi.

But as a combatant at the beginning, he did not give up the training of female soldiers' combat ability, but this training has changed from a cluster to an elite.

Among them, blue and white stars are the best.

For those talented female soldiers, the people selected from various armies and spy organizations were clear, so when they saw Bai Xing going with great interest, they didn't think to touch this brow.

After all, in terms of closeness, even if they were Zhang Qi's guards, Bai Xing would veil them a few streets.

"Your Majesty! Look at the grass target! Hole-pierced! ”

Carrying the target over, Shirahoshi shouted in surprise by pointing to a hole diagonally above the target.

This power is far from being comparable to that of a strong crossbow and a strong bow.

Although there are several types of bows that can shoot through grass targets, the holes left by the bow and arrow are far less explosive than when a bullet passes through a grass target!

The thickness of the arrow is the size of the hole.

But now on the grass target, Bai Xing could clearly see that the projectile, which was only the thickness of a finger, had caused a fist-sized hole, how could this not shock her!

Seeing that the target paper on the grass target was shattered and the target surface was pierced, Zhang Qi also nodded with satisfaction.

Although the ratio of gunpowder still did not reach the amount of smoke he wanted, in terms of power, the improved gunpowder was already qualified.

Fiddling with the rifle in his hand, as the first generation of products, the style of this rifle is still very simple, like the iron tube rifle in the game Fallout 4 that I have played before.

The bolt was pulled, and the cartridge case from which the warhead was fired was withdrawn.

The bullet casings that fell to the ground floated up a puff of green smoke because of the cooling down, and after it cooled, Zhang Qi picked it up.

"It's okay, the deformation is within the acceptable range, and it has little effect on the barrel."

"That's the question of how to mass produce it."

"The three parts of primer, cartridge case, warhead, and bullet have I asked people to carry out standardized assembly operations, but why is it that a workshop of 300 people can still only produce less than 20,000 pieces of ammunition a month, and thirty percent of them are still defective products that cannot be used."

"What's the problem?"

Zhang Qi's brows furrowed, in the world of riding and chopping, he had already arranged for people to study the mass production of this ammunition, but now it is still making slow progress.

The only good news is that cartridge casings can be made by stamping, which is by far the fastest way to do it, although the material is expensive and it needs to be cut.

But bullets are not good only with cartridge shells, primers, and warheads are also indispensable, especially warheads, even if they are already made of the best copper, but the polishing work after pouring consumes the energy of countless people.

Although the technology of manufacturing round bullets was later used to use the batch grinding of hard sand rollers, after the finished product came out, this route was temporarily abandoned due to the problem of not being able to control the size.

Pinching the warhead, Zhang Qi looked at it for a long time, and after never having a clue, he could only shake his head and put the warhead into a satchel on his waist.

The rifled gun had already been tested, and the accuracy of the power was satisfactory to him, so the next thing was the product in the normal order of thermal weapons.

Smoothbore guns!

Let people set up a piece of grass target again.

This time, Zhang Qi asked everyone to disperse farther away, ensuring that there was no one within a range of sixty degrees ahead.

Smoothbore gun, Zhang Qi really didn't dare to guarantee where the direction of the projectile would float after it was discharged.

It should always be okay to be cautious.

The rifled rifle was thrown to Bai Xing, Zhang Qi held a smoothbore gun of a similar style, put one hand into the cloth bag on his waist, and picked up two bullets between his three fingers.

Strangely, he was still holding the same cartridge as rifle bullets, rather than the round rounds that are characteristic of smoothbore guns.

If there is anything to do with round bullets, it is probably a bullet that is half embedded in the barrel and half exposed outside the barrel.

That's right, the smoothbore gun ammunition selected by Zhang Qi is actually a complex shape of primer plus shell and warhead similar to rifled gun ammunition.

The only thing that may be different from rifled gun ammunition is that the cartridge casing is made of paper instead of metal.

Moreover, it is different from the front loading form of conventional smoothbore guns.

Zhang Qi pinched the bullet, and with a force of both hands, the position of the butt of the smoothbore gun was broken in half with a click, revealing a section in the barrel.

That's right.

Because of the nature of material science and the airtight sealing technology enriched by the Liaodi riding and slashing world after the arrival of rubber, his smoothbore gun can be loaded not only in the front load, but also in a rear loading mode similar to a double-barreled shotgun and shotgun.

Even the ammunition is similar to these two firearms.

Of the two bullets in his hand, one was a single-headed bullet, and only one was a lead bullet with a round head.

The other is a piece of ammunition that contains iron sand wrapped in paper.

In addition to the body and ammunition, the component of the smoothbore gun also has a U-shaped tweezers with hooks at both ends, which is used to open the upper nozzle to clean the chamber after firing the ammunition.

That's why Zhang uses a smoothbore instead of a rifle.

In order to ensure the production of ammunition, his shell part is made of paper, and after the gunpowder is activated, these residual shredded paper will inevitably be damaged in the rifling.

If it is a smoothbore, there is no need to consider the rifling, and after firing, it can be cleaned with the matching tools to carry out the next round of shooting.

Moreover, the speed of the charge is much faster than that of the front load.

Actually, to put it bluntly.

Zhang Qi's smoothbore gun, except for the barrel without rifling, is almost all produced by copying his rifled gun!

Hold your breath——!

Three points and one line.

The trigger drives the hammer into contact with the primer.

A spark arose from the shell and ignited the gunpowder within.

And this energy is violent, and the barrel of the gun has become the only outlet.

Driven by this violent energy.

Lead bullets rushed straight out of the chamber.

Smack——!

Another winter thunder.

In the smoke, Zhang Qi's coughing sounded.

The smoke produced by the paper charge is much more intense than that produced by the metal charge.

After the shot, he could only flapp, changing places to breathe fresh air.

Side.

Bai Xing, who had been staring at the grass target, tilted his head suspiciously.

Why didn't the grass target move at all just now?
