Chapter 102: First test musket

"Of course. This is a flying machine, even a hot airship. It takes at least a few months. You know, this thing is extraordinary, this is going to the sky. Humans don't have wings. If the airship comes out on it. Unexpectedly, you can only do free landing exercises. "Speaking, Shangwen pointed to the sky, and then dropped with a finger gesture.

Yingyu listened to some words that she couldn't accept at all. His head is dizzy. Then look at Dao Shangwen's gesticulating fingers. Finally understood that this guy was afraid of accidents.

"What's so scary about?" Yingyu said with some disdain.

"What's to be afraid of. The current power of this hot airship is very weak. And there are many design errors. Going up. There is no certainty. As long as a little strong wind. The airship can be blown away. Loss of airbags The airship will fall down. It is equivalent to a person falling directly from a place with more than two hundred steps." Shang Wen is actually used to the unit of meters. The ancients used to measure height in feet. Shang Wen's words like this are a little hard to understand. No way, Shang Wen didn't know the specific details of the ancient people.

"This." Yingyu clearly understood. That is, this thing is not very mature yet.

"Then why is my father able to go. I can't." Yingyu asked again.

"Your father, that's a miracle. I was almost scared to death when I fell from the sky to the ground. When it was heated, I was missing a section. The pod was heavily grounded. If it weren't heated in time, I'm afraid ······" Shang Wen really didn't dare to think about the situation at that time.

"Oh." Yingyu finally stopped asking questions.

Shang Wenjiang finally did not ask her. Just relax. This guy thinks differently from other princesses.

"Then what else do you have. Except for that..." Yingyu asked tentatively.

"Airship. No. Except for this, it is the road being built. Do you want to watch this?" Shang Wen replied directly.

Ying Yu shook his head and said.

"I think your smart head must have something else. Hurry up and make one and let me see it." Yingyu said with some begging.

Hear here. Shangwen understands that if this person does not create something, he will definitely not be able to dismiss it. But going on like this will not do him any good. Shang Wen thought for a while. When you come to the arsenal by yourself, what you have to do is to improve the focus of production in the next step. Now all firearms have basically stopped working. If this continues, Daqin's soldiers will return to the original era of cold weapons. Thinking of this, Shangwen knew what to do directly.

Shang Wen took out a wallet from his chest. From it, take out a stack of design drawings. Yingyu looked curiously, not knowing what trick this guy was going to do.

Shang Wen took out a design drawing of a musket.

"That's it." Shang Wen pointed to the drawing of the musket.

"What is this?" Ying Yu asked.

"Musket." Shang Wen said.

"It doesn't require much effort. Just pull the trigger." Shang Wen pointed to the trigger.

"This projectile can be shot fifty steps away, and its lethality is amazing. As long as it is hit, it will be killed or injured." Shang Wen introduced.

"So amazing." Yingyu stepped forward and looked at the drawing carefully.

"This thing doesn't take much effort. It's so easy to use, we girls can just equip it." Yingyu said happily.

As soon as Shang Wen heard it, he knew what idea this guy was playing.

"Can you make it now?" Yingyu asked.

"Yes. No problem. But you have to wait until tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. I have to process some parts, and..."

"Okay, I'll just wait here." Before Shang Wen finished speaking, Ying Yu said anxiously.

"Okay. Whatever." Shang Wen said with a shrug.

"Then I will go busy now." Shang Wen gathered up the drawings and walked out of the house.

Shangwen began to gather the main craftsmen. I talked about the parts made by the musket. Shangwen's musket is the British Indian version of the musket. Because the rifling process has not been explored. Shang Wen felt that he should not go too far.

The first is the spring. This thing comes from the watch industry. There are also objects such as runners and flint. Shangwen explained to those craftsmen one by one. For the spring. An old craftsman who worked on copperware was very interested when he heard about it. The main reason is that the wire is still relatively hard and the processing skills are immature. The copper material is relatively soft. Very suitable for springs. The craftsman took over the job. Because he himself is interested in this kind of things that can restore the original state.

For the barrel, only pouring can be used. Qin State is very mature in casting bronze weapons. In this regard, they also accept the next step. For other parts. Then hand it to the copper processing craftsman. They use a hammer. It's that kind of hammer. There is no difficulty in processing. Shangwen arranged it, and after a few more guidance, he had nothing to do with him.

quickly. Craftsmen make various parts. The barrel, even the carpenter, made the **** according to Shangwen's style, and Shangwen began to assemble it. Some small rivets are made of copper.

Everyone surrounded Shangwen, and Shangwen assembled the parts of the rifle one by one. The people around him wanted to watch a trick, watching Shangwen installing the barrel on a piece of wood that was straight or curved.

Shangwen found that some things are more suitable, such as springs and bolts. The springs can be put into the bolts well. In this regard, it seems that the ancients were very cooperative.

Shang Wen sweated profusely and assembled the musket. Everyone looked at this thing strangely. Shangwen opened the fire door and played a few times. It felt pretty good. You can try it if you can solve it.

This gun looks rough. But basically it's like that. Shang Wen took gunpowder. Fill the barrel with gunpowder first, put in the projectile, and compact it. Put a little ignition powder in the cauldron.

Under the fifty-step target prepared in advance, Shangwen opened the fire door and took aim. Firing. "Bang." There was a loud noise. Gunpowder smoke came out. A hole appeared on the target. It is clear.

Shang Wen put down his musket and stepped forward to check. The people around saw the musket for the first time. I don't know how powerful this musket is, so I also stepped forward to check it out.

A piece of wood was pierced in the obvious lower position on the target. Shang Wen thought that the power of the musket was still not great, and he was aiming at the center, and the impact point was obviously lower. The problem needs to be solved.

The caliber of the projectile is about the size of a modern shotgun at 0.3 inches. Shang Wen has seen the ruler, and the projectile is almost at that ratio. Between 11 and 13 mm. This projectile is basically the size of all common projectiles at that time. This time it was manufactured according to the size of Qin State, and it is estimated that it will not be much different.
