Zhu Shencone thought about it and agreed, anyway, his cousin Wang Jinwu is not an outsider.

He asked Wang Jinwu to wait for him, and went to a wing room in the west first.

This room is Zhu Shencone's residence in Wangjia Village, and he lives here every time he comes to Wangjia Village. The display in the room is very simple, except for two cabinets, that is, a fire kang.

Entering the house, Zhu Shencone removed the cabinet against the wall, reached out and pulled it out of the corner a few times, and soon a wax-sealed bamboo tube and a fist-sized deerskin bag were taken out for him.

Put the cabinet back in place first, Zhu Shencone sat down and looked at the bamboo tube carefully, when he was sure that the wax seal and appearance of the bamboo tube were intact, he smiled with satisfaction, then opened the deerskin bag and reached out to touch it inside, then closed it, tied the two things around his waist, and then returned to the courtyard.

"Keep up!"

Greeting Wang Jinwu, this stupid boy suddenly followed Zhu Shencone in a hurry.

The two walked and chatted, and went towards the outside of the village, Zhu Shencone was very familiar with the terrain near Wangjia Village, and he went straight to a mountain col three miles away from the village, this place was very desolate, there was no water and no trees, except for the loess was a mess of stones, there were few people to go, but it was the best place to test the gun.

About a quarter of an hour, arrived at the place.

Zhu Shencone took Wang Jinwu into the mountain col, he looked at the terrain, chose a stone wall, found a random stone from the ground and drew a circle the size of a human head on the stone wall.

After finishing the painting, Zhu Shencone stepped back and looked at it, and then he was satisfied.

"Sixth brother, isn't it a test gun? What is this doing? Wang Jinwu couldn't wait for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Shencone comparing and gesturing for a long time, he couldn't help but ask.

"Are you stupid boy? The test gun must not be the same as your archery, what line is there without a target? I'm making a target! ”

"Oh oh oh!" Only then did Wang Jinwu come back to his senses, touched his head and grinned embarrassedly.

Zhu Shencone pulled Zhu Shencone and walked a few steps backwards, stopped after about the same distance, and turned to look at the target that was faintly visible on the stone wall.

This distance is almost fifteen or sixteen meters, if what Zhao Da said before is correct, this distance is the effective range of his musket.

Let Wang Jinwu stand on his side, although Zhao Da patted his chest and made a guarantee for this gun, Zhu Shencone himself felt that it was no problem, but after all, he was also shooting for the first time.

To be on the safe side, it's better to be careful.

Zhu Shencone took out the gun, then peeled off the wax seal of the bamboo barrel, and carefully poured the gunpowder hidden in the bamboo barrel into the barrel. These gunpowders were made by Zhu Shencone, and it took a lot of effort to get these gunpowders, and it took a long time to toss them back and forth.

Zhu Shencone does not know the best formula of gunpowder, he can only try it little by little, plus the key to granular gunpowder is not only the formula, but also needs to add water and egg whites to mix and stir, and then grind and break into granules after drying.

This step is very simple to say, but it is quite tedious to do, and the last step alone Zhu Shencone has experimented many times, and it is not easy to get it.

Moreover, after making it, Zhu Shencone did not really use this kind of gunpowder to really hit the gunpowder, and he didn't know how powerful the gunpowder he made was, whether it was the same as real granular gunpowder.

Therefore, Zhu Shencone did not dare to pour more when pouring gunpowder, but stopped after pouring two-thirds of the gun into the barrel, and then took out the bullet made of lead from the deerskin sac and wrapped it in rice paper and stuffed it, and then pulled out a pressure strip from the card slot under the barrel, and compacted the bullet in the barrel with the pressure strip.

These steps seem simple, but because it is the first time to do it, Zhu Shencone's movements are very rusty, and it took several minutes to get them done.

After finishing it, Zhu Shencone put gunpowder in the medicine pool, and then raised his gun to aim in the direction of the target, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

On the side, Wang Jinwu stared at Zhu Shencone fiddling with the musket with wide eyes, looking excited, he wanted to ask but was afraid of disturbing Zhu Shencone, and swallowed the words in his stomach raw when he opened his mouth several times.

When he saw Zhu Shencone raise his gun and aim, Wang Jinwu was very excited, looking forward to the moment when the gun rang out. But seeing that Zhu Shencone took a few glances and put down the gun again, he suddenly had doubts in his heart.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he only saw Zhu Shencone take out the fire fold and light the fire rope, and Wang Jinwu realized that there was still this step.

The fire rope was lit, and the fire rope was stuck in the position, Zhu Shencheng took a deep breath, and raised the gun to aim again, this time he used both hands, this gun was the first time he tried, and he didn't know what the situation was, and he used gunpowder that he had made, and he was not sure how powerful it was, and it was much safer to hold the gun with both hands than with one hand.

Silently reciting the three points and one line in his heart, Zhu Shencone aimed at the target and pulled the trigger hard.

The trigger was a little hard, and the force required to pull it down was slightly greater, and the moment the trigger was pulled, the gunpowder in the medicine pool was ignited instantly, and a thunderclap sounded, and a cloud of white smoke rose immediately, and Zhu Shencone couldn't see the place where the bullet in front of him fell for a while.

The gunshot startled Wang Jinwu on the side, he didn't expect the sound to be so loud, and his ears were ringing.

After being shocked, he was excited, and Wang Jinwu couldn't wait to ask Zhu Shen if the cone marble was hit and how powerful it was. Zhu Shencone didn't know the bottom of his heart for a while, this recoil was a little beyond his expectations, and he had to hold the gun steadily, otherwise ordinary people would have to take it off if they didn't pay attention.

When the white smoke gradually dissipated, Zhu Shencone walked quickly towards the stone wall with a gun, he wanted to see where the hit was and what the effect was.

When he got closer, Zhu Shencone quickly found the landing point, just from the edge of the upper right corner of the circle he painted, the hard stone wall was jumped into a pit by the bullet, this pit is deep inside and shallow outside, and the deepest part can reach into a small half of the finger, it seems that the power of this gun is really not small, Zhao Da is really right, this distance is enough to break the armor.

While Zhu Shencone carefully checked the effect, Wang Jinwu also stared at the crater from the side.

opened his mouth wide, subconsciously touched his chest, with a hint of incredulity in his expression, and muttered in his mouth: "Good girl, this loss is to hit stones, if you shoot someone, you can't pierce your body?" How powerful is it? ”

Zhu Shencone was quite satisfied with the power of the musket, and he was able to beat the hard stone wall to such an extent, and it was absolutely no problem to deal with people.

As for the head, Zhu Shencone was not satisfactory, and it was only a distance of more than ten meters, and such a large circle of two shots only hit such a result. But for a smoothbore gun without rifling, such an accurate head is enough to use, not to mention that Zhu Shencone is using this gun for the first time, and he is not familiar with the gun, so it will definitely be more accurate if he fires a few more shots.

"Let me try! Let me try it too! Wang Jinwu couldn't wait.

Zhu Shencone smiled, since he brought him over, he must have tried it, Zhu Shencone had already checked the situation of the musket after checking the shooting effect. The quality of the musket that was excited was very good, and it didn't seem to have any problems, and after feeling the feeling of firing just now, Zhu Shencone cleaned the chamber of the gun, and then reloaded the bullets and gunpowder according to the previous steps, but this time it was slightly reduced, because he felt that the gunpowder in front seemed to be a little more.

After finishing it, Zhu Shencone took Wang Jinwu back to the place where the gun was fired just now, and explained to Wang Jinwu the essentials and precautions for shooting with a musket, and after making sure that Wang Jinwu understood, he handed the gun to him and asked him to shoot at the target.

Wang Jinwu, who was eager to try, couldn't wait for a long time, only to see him stand still in the posture of Zhu Shencheng's shooting just now, and then raise his gun to aim. After a few glances, he pulled the trigger hard, and the musket was fired smoothly, and Wang Jinwu was much more excited when he shot out, and after the two shots rang out, Wang Jinwu couldn't wait to run towards the target.
