Xishan Wanggong Factory, firearm test shooting base.

This is an extremely open field, with cold wind blowing and occasionally some gravel on the mountain walls fall.

"My dear Shi Pu, please come to the emperor!"

"My minister Li Shulin bowed to the emperor!"

Shi Pu, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, gave the affairs of the Ministry of Works early in the morning and went to Wanggong Factory to supervise the manufacturing of firearms.

Li Shulin followed closely behind. Since developing the new firearm, his talents have been greatly utilized. Moreover, the emperor asked for money and people to give them, and the progress was very smooth.

"You all have a flat body!"

Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen was all developed according to his manuscript. Zhang Fu, Chen Ying and others behind him seemed to have discovered a new continent. They picked up the flintlock rifle beside them and played with it, and kept amazement.

"Wouldn't such a long gun barrel be more likely to explode?"

"Yes, and this wooden handle is too short and unsafe..."

"Where is the lead, why can't you find it?"

Seeing everyone's faces full of curiosity, Zhu Qizhen said, "Li Aiqing, come and tell everyone!"

"yes!"

Li Shulin came up and introduced the characteristics and use of the flintlock rifle.

"The flintlock rifle uses the flint impact on the hammer to generate sparks to ignite the gunpowder bin. Weichen has improved the granular gunpowder and glued the gunpowder and the projectiles together. When loading, just load the ammunition from the front chamber. Be sure to pay attention to the projectile facing outward. Never install it backwards. Then use a strip to push it to the launch chamber and then it can be fired."

Everyone formed a circle and stared at Li Shulin's operation.

"Your Majesty, the loading is completed, please test the shooting!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Accurate!"

Li Shulin held the filled rifle in his arms, aimed at a wooden target in front, and after aiming, he decisively pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A crisp explosion sounded, and the target shook, and it seemed that it had hit.

Uncle Li waved, and immediately a man ran over and carried the target back.

Everyone could not wait to go forward and take a look.

I saw the shot hit the bull's eye and punched a hole two fingers wide!

Everyone applauded. This thing seemed to have improved more than one level of range, accuracy and power than the musket, and the loading process was much simplified.

"There is another advantage of granular gunpowder, which is that there are very few impurities. In a short period of time, there is almost no need to clean the gun chamber and then reload it."

As he spoke, Li Shulin filled in another ammunition and then pointed it at another wooden target.

Bang!

Another officer ran over and carried the second target back.

Everyone came forward to see, but this time they didn't hit the bull's-eye, but it was quite good.

Zhang Fu sighed: "It's simply a skillful and skillful work!"

Chen Mao stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Li, what's the name of this musket?"

"Flintlock!"

"Oh, yes, flintlock!"

Chen Mao continued to ask: "How far is the maximum range of this flintlock rifle?"

"The maximum range is about 100 steps, and if the effective range is about 50 steps!"

"Hundred steps?"

Chen Mao widened his eyes. The traditional musket had a maximum range of up to fifty steps. However, if it was more than twenty steps, it was no longer accurate. This thing was directly increased by twice!

Zhu Qizhen looked at these people's fuss and said in his heart that this is where they are. When the time is right, I will make a lot of agitated and then make a fortune, so that you can see what the power of technology is!

Chen Ying laughed the happiestly because he knew that this thing must be given priority to the Shenji Camp.

It can be imagined that in the future, the Shenji Camp will gradually become the main force!

Everyone was playing with a flintlock rifle. All the generals were present, and they couldn't put down such a battlefield killing weapon.

Zhang Fu could not wait long ago, and under the guidance of Li Shulin, he filled in, then aimed and fired.

Bang!

Missed...

Zhang Fu was dissatisfied and was about to load another shot, but saw several officers pushing two flatbed cars over, which seemed to be gun barrels on it.

Now, his eyes were immediately attracted, he stuffed the flintlock rifle in his hand onto Li Shulin, and went forward to observe.

"Why is this gun...half a piece?"

Others were also confused and expressed that they could not understand.

Li Shulin ordered the officers to put away the flintlock rifle and ammunition, and then stepped forward and introduced: "This kind of artillery was made from the hands of Western Franchise robots, so it is called Franchise cannon. It has a partial structure for easy portability. In addition, a female cannon with a three-door cannon can effectively increase the rate of fire."

As he spoke, he asked someone to remove the cannon body from the car and personally directed the assembly.

Zhang Fu stared at Li Shulin's every move carefully, and almost all of his body was stuck on it.

"What's the power of the cannon body so small?"

"Jing'an County Prince wait a moment, the subordinate will test the shooting... I'm sorry, let it go!"

"oh oh!"

Then Zhang Fu reluctantly took a step back, squatted down, and watched Li Shulin fill the ammunition into the cannon, and then put the cannon into the cannon.

"Your Majesty, please test the shooting!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Accurate!"

But Li Shulin did not rush to light the fire, but faced everyone standing next to the cannon and said helplessly: "Sir, can you step back?"

Zhang Fu and others had to take a few steps back and then took a half step forward.

Uncle Li had no choice but to look at Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen understood and said, "All your families, come with me!"

Seeing that the emperor had spoken, everyone had to follow and retreated seven or eight feet.

Zhu Qizhen asked loudly: "Li Aiqing, is it OK?"

"Go back to the emperor, it's OK!"

After saying that, Li Shulin ignited the fire, then squatted on the ground with his back and covered his ears.

boom!

Bang!

The first sound is the ignition of gunpowder in the cannon chamber, and the second sound is the loud noise when the flowering bomb explodes.

The gun hit the mountain wall in the distance, and gravel fell all over the ground.

From a distance, it seems that half of the mountain has collapsed.

Everyone looked at it from a distance, and they all opened their mouths wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

I thought this kind of Fran cannon was better than a small and lightweight one, but I didn't expect that its power was no less than that of the General cannon.

Zhang Fu reacted and trotted forward all the way, and everyone followed, watching Li Shulin command the gunner to remove the cannon and change it to another cannon loaded with ammunition.

"Prince Jing'an, sirs..."

"Okay, okay, understand!"

Zhang Fu led everyone back to a safe distance, and then Li Shulin ignited the fire again.

boom!

Bang!

There were two loud noises, and the mountain gravel flew across the mountain. From a distance, a rough voice shouted: "Li Shulin, I won't even make a sound when I test the shooting today. I will arrange someone to get the stone in advance... Oh, Your Majesty?"

Chen Huai, the prince of Pingxiang, stepped forward quickly and bowed and bowed.

"Your family is fair. I came to see the new firearm today, but I didn't inform you."

Chen Huai grinned and said, "When the old minister heard that the firecrackers were fired here, he hurriedly arranged for people to pick up stones. Now the demand for cement around the capital is increasing, and the workshops are expanding again and again. The output cannot keep up. The old minister is waiting for the Wang Gongchang to firecrackers every day."

Zhang Fu and others could no longer hold back, so they stepped forward again and watched the Fran machine cannon.

Seeing this, Chen Huai stepped forward and said, "Nether Jing'an, have you never seen him?"

Zhang Fu nodded constantly and said excitedly: "I'm open my eyes, I'm really open my eyes today!"

Chen Huai whispered in his ear: "Tell you a secret, this cannon was made according to the emperor's sketch!"

"Yeah?"

"Of course, have you seen the flintlock rifle? That was also a sketch given by the emperor."

Zhang Fu was very surprised and looked at the emperor in surprise. With the lord like this, the Ming Dynasty will be worry-free for a hundred years!

ps: In the previous article, readers have been confused about the problem of fifty steps and one hundred steps. Here is a sentence: In ancient times, one step was about 1.3 meters, which means that the distance of fifty steps was about 80 meters, and one hundred steps was about 160 meters.

Some people say, who can take 1.3 meters in one step? Do you think everyone is Yao Ming?

Then he said that an ordinary person’s step is about 60-70 cm, and if he is wrong, it is not called a step, it is called a ma.

You can't reach a thousand miles without accumulating small steps. This is the word "女".

The ancients took one step and called one step, and two strategists were called one step.
