Chapter 111: Bullet loading problem

Wang Ben got up early in the morning. Leading several of his backbones waited in the arsenal early. They will accept new weapons this day. Wang Ben couldn't wait long ago. When Meng Tian from the north led Daqin's cavalry elite to sweep the northern nomadic tribes everywhere. Wang Ben has asked to go north to fight several times. Even as a soldier. But the father, who was the coach, refused mercilessly every time.

And this time, although he was not on the battlefield, he could get the latest weapons. Although the current power is not great. But Wang Ben has a kind of directness. This kind of weapon, as long as it develops in accordance with the current situation. There must be a lot to do. Therefore, Wang Ben is very excited this time.

The production of muskets did not stop overnight. The craftsmen rushed to make it almost overnight. There is no time to rest at all. Shangwen came to the arsenal early in the morning. Check out the production of muskets and artillery.

Last night, those craftsmen had already begun to figure out how to make rifling in the inner wall of the gun and artillery according to Shangwen's method. What the foundry thinks is that when casting, they should do a good job of rifling, but some blacksmiths think it is very undesirable. Because of this, the processing is very difficult. It takes a long time, and the casting cannot guarantee the stability of the rifling and other factors are negated. The foundry side insisted. Because only in this way can rifling be made. The other part of the craftsmen carefully considered the shortcomings of the two. I figured out the hard properties of iron. Rifling was cut on the inner wall of the barrel. As for how to do it. A group of craftsmen gathered together and began to discuss. Shang Wen watched silently.

The development of an industry is not a person's ingenuity. It's a group of people. Some ideas of this group of people cannot be realized at all, but this kind of impossible ideas can gradually form a more mature idea through constant communication and discussion. Then, it is practice, to explore in continuous practice. This is a collective force. Relying on the individual alone is not enough. And now, it is to provide such an opportunity for these craftsmen to gradually find out. Then form a kind of thinking. Finally, it becomes an inherent model. This model is the road to future development prospects. Shang Wen looked at the craftsman who studied. Then leave.

Shangwen is going to check how the guns are made. As soon as I walked to the place where the muskets were produced, I saw a large number of military officers surrounded by them.

"What are you doing?" Shang Wen scolded loudly.

The military attaches began to turn their heads to look at Shang Wen.

"Mr. Qin." Wang Benfei ran over. Grabbing Shangwen's hand and said

"Mr. Qin, we have been waiting for a long time. When will this gun be issued to us?" Wang Ben said anxiously.

Shang Wen broke Wang Ben's powerful hands with both hands. Then he kept falling and grabbing his sore hands. Wang Ben also knew that he was a bit reckless, and was a little embarrassed with a smirk.

"Okay, I'll go in and have a look, you guys wait and see outside." Shang Wen said as he walked into the musket production room.

Shangwen asked about the production of firearms.
