Products are all related, and some things may not be easily accepted. Everyone is used to hourglass or looking at the sky. However, when carriages, sofas and crystals are sold, the Zhenguo Mansion can take the opportunity to start laying out the distribution network. At the same time, the Zhenguo Mansion's products also give people a new impression. Because of this, people gradually began to form a concept that the Zhenguo Mansion's things are always good, so the clocks that were originally unwilling to be popular are gradually becoming popular. Some people are willing to try them. At first, they feel a little uncomfortable, but over time, they become familiar with them.

The emergence of any new product will always lead to a process of doubt. This process is sometimes lengthy and sometimes very fast. This is the role of the signboard. With enough reputation, people are willing to accept even something that is difficult to accept or advanced.

Now Zhenguo Mansion is recruiting people in a big way, and watch craftsmen have higher requirements for machinery, so the employment price is also high.

Ye Chunqiu just found a few people in Zhenguo Mansion and explained the shareholders' meeting on the first day of next month, asking them to formulate the production plan of the Investment Promotion Bureau, the training plan of the Zhenguo New Army, and the research plan of the Research Institute. Then he went to the special experimental site of the Research Institute.

The new type of muskets have been made by Ye Chunqiu's drawings, but most of them are experimental. In fact, many of the muskets held by Ye Chunqiu are designed from the version of the Spencer rifle during the Civil War.

The Civil War can be regarded as an important experimental institute in the post-gun loading era. At that time, Europe had many gun plans, but because there was no real large-scale war that was evenly matched, many weapons could not be tested. This civil war on the other side of the ocean was the most unprecedented war after the Industrial Revolution. During this period, the standards for modern wars such as tactics, strategic ideas, and battlefield medical care were established. Most of the 3.5 million people participating in the war were volunteer soldiers, which means that they often had great determination. The two sides of the war used almost all means to eliminate the enemy. In this war, 750,000 soldiers were killed and 400,000 soldiers were disabled.

Because of this, many weapons have been tested, and the Spencer rifle is the best among them. Its biggest advantage is its simple design, with few gun parts, and a rotary locking bolt is used to directly pull out the receiver through the operating rod to expose the bullet outlet to pull the shell. Before shooting, it also needs to pull the hammer. Although it is a little original and insufficient strength, it also reduces the risk of getting stuck to a certain extent.

If you really want to describe it, Ye Chunqiu believes that this design is the best solution at the moment. It is simple to design and facilitates large-scale manufacturing. It is precisely because there are not many parts that the error rate is much lower, which greatly reduces the risk of getting stuck or even a blow-off.

The only drawback is...

Ye Chunqiu's gun with this experimental board was loaded with paper and linen bullets. This is a very simple Minie bullet after the rear loading gun appears. The Minie bullet belongs to the most original bullet version after the rear loading gun appears. It does not belong to the hollow bullet. The front end of the bullet is different from the ordinary lead bullet except for the different shapes.

The Minnie bullet can easily push into the chamber with a push rod, which greatly increases the rate of fire. The bullet uses threads around the car to match the rifle, and the bottom of the bullet is filled with animal oil in the middle of the thread. When firing, gunpowder gas impacts the cork, and the cork suddenly supports the bullet after being hit instantly. Since the bullet is stretched, the chamber sealing of the bullet itself can be relied on the bullet itself to complete the sealing of the chamber without leaking the gunpowder gas, which causes the loss of kinetic energy of the bullet. This solves the problem of the chamber sealing of the old front-loading gun, and greatly enhances the rate of fire, range and safety of the gun.

Ye Chunqiuping held the musket, and ten feet away was a huge tree stump. Ye Chunqiu was a little nervous, but the researchers around him seemed very relaxed and were talking in a low voice.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chunqiu tried his best to aim with the butt. This should be his first shot. It was both fresh and excited. His fingers began to pull the trigger and then pressed it.

Bang……

The smoke filled the gun, and Ye Chunqiu felt that his tiger's mouth was a little numb, and the recoil of the musket caught him off guard, but then, the tree stump ten feet away immediately flew across, and someone ran forward and continued, "The tree stump penetrated."

This tree stump is half a meter thick and penetrates directly, but it is roughly twenty steps away, but even so, it is enough to be shocking.

This means that within fifty steps, the plate armor of the new army in Zhenguo can be easily penetrated by this rifle.

The improvement of steel technology has led to the same steel that can withstand greater impact force, and the fire resistance and strength of the barrel are greatly improved; the emergence of strong gunpowder makes the gunpowder more powerful; the rifle cutting process in the barrel also greatly improves the accuracy of the rifle, and the structure of the rifle is also the best choice, the rear-loading solution, automatic hammer, and the bullet casing, which greatly improves the design accuracy and the speed of the bullet filling. More importantly, Minie's bullet solution is not only easy to carry and load, but also greatly improves the range of the musket.

In a sense, if Ye Chunqiu had no previous experience in producing steel, carriages, axles, and clocks, no matter how many ideas Ye Chunqiu had, it would be difficult to truly realize it.

Now, the rifle in Ye Chunqiu's hand is almost close to mass production, and the production process of Minie bullets is not difficult. As long as you are willing, you are willing to spend money, train craftsmen, and specially customize some molds and machinery for producing firearms, which can be started at any time.

Ye Chunqiu put down his rifle and then began to carefully examine the experimental data of the rifle. The range of killing is 800 steps and the effective range is 400 steps. This alone is completely beyond the times.

The muskets of this era, even the muskets of the Folang machine, have a killing range of at most three or four hundred steps. It is good to have an effective range of seven or eighty steps. This alone is far beyond that. In addition, it is accuracy. Because of the emergence of rifle, this kind of rifle uses threaded rifle, and its accuracy has been greatly improved and can completely crush its peers; and the real strength lies in the speed of shooting.

The biggest problem with front-loading guns now is loading ammunition. Because it is front-loading, you need to pour the gunpowder into the muzzle first, then compact it with an iron bar, then pour the iron balls, insert the lead wire, and finally ignite it. This is a very tedious process.

The rifle's loading speed is at least five times that of it. The rifle only needs to open the magazine, load the Miner bullet, and then press the trigger.
