Chapter 922: Juvenile Musket Guards

The steel-core single-headed bullet is obviously one of the top secrets of the North Sea country, so the credibility requirements of users are also very high. Marin clearly remembered that after the French made the latest Lebel m1886, a French soldier defected to Germany with a new gun, priced at 20,000 marks.

Therefore, in the selection of the musketeers used, Marin pursues "absolute peace of mind." And what kind of people are most reassuring about Marin, obviously the group of children in school is most reassuring about Marin. Because, the group of children are "seeking early and reporting late" on his portrait every day, being brainwashed all day long to be loyal to Marin. There is no problem with the loyalty of the children cultivated in this way. Don't worry about the leakage of confidential information.

Before, the group of elementary school graduates had a lot of eliminated scum. Marin felt that their loyalty should be no problem. Moreover, the scum is not as clever as the Xueba, and there are not so many twists and turns in the mind, but it is more reliable and easier to control than those smart people.

Therefore, Marin ordered that Kohler and Sauer be dispatched together to select loyal guards from the primary school scum that had been eliminated. Even if they are selected by the factory, they must be selected by the guards.

And Marin's selection requirements are very simple and rude to see his portraits, to be excited to see Marin's real people ... This is the treatment in March and a half in North Korea, and is also a proof of fanaticism ...

Such a fanatical follower is hard to betray, and it is also safe to give them the one-shot. In addition, this kind of scum is better to be fooled.

Marin decided to select 100 avid primary school scum and form his own Musket Guard. Although these children are not old enough, their strength and physical strength may not keep up. However, it can be used after two or three years of training. By that time, a hundred snipers armed with large-scale weapons would definitely be a nightmare for enemy officers.

In order to improve the shooting accuracy, Marin also asked Da Vinci to transform the musket and create an aimer similar to the sports air rifle of later generations. That is, there is a front sight in front of the barrel, and there is also a sight door with a round hole behind the barrel. When aiming, as long as the eyes see the target through the front and rear sights and the two holes of the gate, you can shoot at three points and one line.

Of course, this does not make much sense for the smoothbore gun, because the round shot will always fly around. But for high-precision single-headed bullets, it is of great significance. As long as you have this sight, the shooting accuracy of ordinary people will be greatly improved.

As for the sights or something, Marin did not intend to go on. Because the effective range of the one-shot is not high, the highest is only 200 meters, the effective range can be seen with the naked eye, there is no need to aim the scope. Only the Minnie rifle with an effective range of several hundred meters is necessary for the sight. Because that distance exceeds the distance seen by human eyes.

In addition, in order to facilitate the aiming and avoid the fumes caused by the smoke, Marin decided to equip the steel core single-shot with smokeless gunpowder.

Smokeless gunpowder can produce more gas, and the effect of pushing bullets is better, and it does not produce smoke that interferes with sight, which is very convenient.

As for the charge of smokeless gunpowder, Marin tested and found that the 10 g charge was just right. No matter how high, the barrel can't stand it. After all, the barrel of this era was not drilled, but rolled and forged, and naturally has an unstable stitch. If the explosive force is too high, this suture will be cracked.

Moreover, 10 grams of smokeless gunpowder is almost as powerful as 30 grams of granulated black gunpowder. Originally, the best charge Marin had for the rifle was three-quarter ounces of granular black powder, equivalent to 21 grams. After changing to smokeless gunpowder, the amount of 7 grams should be used, but Marin pursued long-range sniping and increased the charge of 3 grams. In this way, hitting the target at a distance of 200 meters is more stable. After all, the higher the velocity of the sub-bore, the farther the effective range.

It's just that it hurts the barrel. Even the barrels forged from low-carbon steel can't bear it. For this, Marin had to come up with a way to add a sleeve to the outer layer of the barrel. This is the method of learning from the ferrule gun of the German Krupp cannon. Whether it is a musket or an artillery, when the propellant explodes, the main damage is mainly the barrel and the tail of the barrel. Therefore, Marin made a sleeve for the second half of the barrel, which further suppressed the possibility of the barrel. Of course, because it protects the internal barrel, this sleeve is not too thick. Moreover, it can be replaced.

...

In addition, during internal propaganda, Marin will deliberately mislead his men, emphasizing the importance of smokeless gunpowder, and dedicate all credit to smokeless gunpowder.

In this way, everyone is cheated, not to mention the enemy's spies. Then, even if the enemy's spy found some news, it was wrong. In this way, those who are coveted will focus on smokeless powder and ignore the shape of the bullet.

But is smokeless gunpowder so easy? That's magical chemistry. People who don't know chemistry will never think of how to make smokeless gunpowder for eight lifetimes. Not to mention the ancients of the 16th century, that is, the 21st century, if you are not a person with good chemistry in middle school, you can't make smokeless gunpowder.

Even, Marin intends to deliberately release the news in the future. There is a big alchemist in the North Sea, who can make smokeless gunpowder with great power ... Then let the spy bring a wave of rhythm and guide Europe to set off the alchemy boom ... The shape of the bullet is wrong ...

...

The selection of Kohler and Sauer went smoothly. Because of Marin's simple and crude method instructions, the two re-called 4,000 primary school students who were eliminated in the "Xiaoshengchu" Zhongbei from various factories, including noncommissioned schools, and then brought them to a chapel in batches. Taking an oath of allegiance to the painting of Marin by Leonardo da Vinci. Then, Kohler's spies and Sauer's scouts, the two most observant professionals, stood aside and carefully observed the expressions on the children's faces. Then, from time to time, record the effect with a notebook ...

In the end, the two selected 200 of the most fanatical children ...

However, Marin's request is for 100 people. The reason why they selected 200 people is to make a elimination ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ This elimination game is shooting ...

It is undeniable that shooting also requires talent. Some people are born shooters, and some people are naturally lacking the talent to aim and shoot ...

In order to test the children's shooting talent, Schulte ordered the artisans of the arsenal to make a small musket, and greatly reduce the charge, so as to reduce the recoil of the musket and avoid hurting the children. Then they set up a target 10 meters away and let the children practice shooting ...

A week later, the worst 100 shooting results were eliminated, leaving only the 100 with better shooting results ...

Then, these 100 people were brought to Marin ...

Sure enough, it was almost the same as Marin thought. After seeing their real people, these ardent children showed a look of excitement on their faces. Even some children cried with excitement ...

At this moment, Marin felt that he was possessed in March and a half, and that Xiaoliu was possessed ... And this group of children, it is the brain powder that is appropriate ...

Moreover, Marin did not doubt that their expression was pretended. After all, this group of children is only twelve or three years old. If you can pretend to have a flawless and excited look, what a special, this is definitely a traverser ... but that possibility is extremely small ...

Marin learned the leader's posture, smiled, waved at the children, then encouraged the children for a while, and even shook hands with several children in the front row. If there is a camera in this era, maybe he will still take photos with the children ... Then, he shouted:

"I announced that the Beihai Kingdom Youth Musket Guard Group was formally established! And you are my first loyal Musket Guards!"

Suddenly, the children below cheered. In particular, Marin's phrase "I am the most loyal" scratched their itch. Tonight, these simple children may be insomnia ...
