That day, Zhu Xianhai lay down on his desk and started drawing. For engineering students, drawing is a basic skill. Even if he didn't understand the structure of the revolver, he could draw the all-through chamber from memory.
structure, and there is also a Remington m1858 revolver for reference.
However, the drawings drawn by Zhu Xianhai are not just a full-pass cartridge, but a brand-new pistol structure, from the left-wing swing-out cylinder to the double-action structure, these are all brand-new patents.
Of course, when Zhu Xianhai applied for a patent for the swing-out cylinder, all-through chamber and double-action structure, he did not know that a few months ago, former Colt employee Rollin White also designed
An all-pass cartridge was invented, but he was so miserable that he simply couldn't afford to apply for a patent.
Applying for a patent costs money!
In history, countless inventors who lived in poverty did not even have the funds to apply for patents, so they could only leave their inventions to gather dust at home.
There are a lot of people like this in this era. For example, the guy who invented the electric light, Edison? Of course not. In fact, as early as 1854, Henry Goebbels used a carbonized bamboo wire and placed it under a vacuum glass bottle to energize it.
This was the first practical incandescent lamp in human history. The light bulb he tested at that time could already last for 400 hours, but he did not have the money to apply for a patent. More than twenty years later, Edison became the inventor of the electric light.
What about Henry Goebbels? He was even sued by Edison for serving as a technical consultant for the light bulb company, and eventually died in poverty.
Well, of course Zhu Xianhai is not short of money.
Just a dozen pesos.
Cheap!
As for the inventors in history?
Um,
Plagiarism is fun for a while, plagiarism is always fun!
A few days later, when the patent certificate for a full-pass chamber, left-hand swing-out cylinder and double-action structure was issued, a pistol modified by a gunsmith was also delivered to his home.
The redesigned m1858 runner gun has a slight change in appearance. The change is just in appearance. To put it bluntly, it means replacing the all-through runner cylinder and improving the folding pressure lever into
Ejector. As for the structure, it still maintains the single-action structure. The difference between single-hand pistols and double-action pistols is whether the hammer needs to be pulled down manually. Because the structure of the latter is relatively complex, Zhu Xianhai is not in a hurry to make major changes.
pistol.
Zhu Xianhai said to himself while turning the cylinder and loading the .44-caliber Henry bullet into the full-pass cylinder.
"This is what a gun looks like. Although it's a bit less powerful, it can still be used with a little bit of effort."
The .44 Henry rimfire bullet used in the Henry rifle has a shell of only 23 mm. The bullet weighs about 13g and has a muzzle velocity of 343m/s. Although the power is very limited by the standards of later generations, it is still used in old-fashioned black powder bullets.
It's pretty good. It may be a little underpowered for a rifle, but it's definitely more than enough for a pistol.
After loading six rounds of bullets, Zhu Xianhai raised his hand and pulled the trigger. After firing six shots in succession, he even blew the gun smoke from the muzzle like a cowboy in an old Western movie, and then smiled proudly.
"That's right, this is what a gun should look like!"
In fact, even so, Zhu Xianhai is still not satisfied in his heart. After all, the size of the m1858 revolver is a bit too big. What he prefers is the Colt special detective revolver nicknamed "Lion Nose"
The kind of pistol is small and powerful, with good accuracy. It is an extremely effective pocket pistol, which is very suitable for hidden carriers.
And this is why Zhu Xianhai favors it. After all, this world is too dangerous. It is really uneasy to not carry weapons with you.
"Bartolome Mitre..."
Once again, Zhu Xianhai's brows furrowed as he uttered this name.
He has been asking about this man a lot these days. After all, in the simulation, he was the one who ordered his subordinates to seek wealth and harm their lives. He is not only a major general, not only has a large number of troops, but he is also a well-known politician in the province. Such a powerful person
It's so easy to kill someone!
Can you escape this disaster with just a few pistols?
…
Absent-minded!
Although the pharmacy's business was on the right track and drug sales were well received in various places, Zhu Xianhai was not at all relaxed.
Without him, I feel confused.
That day, after returning home from the pharmacy, when Zhu Xianhai got out of the car, he happened to meet a passenger in another carriage. The passenger in the carriage in front was a young woman with curly hair. The woman looked at him inadvertently, and then
The eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Are you... an Oriental?"
It was during the woman's exclamation that Zhu Xianhai noticed her exquisite sculpture-like facial features, her slate-colored hair tied into a delicate bun, and her pair of big slate-colored eyes that were looking at him curiously.
What is more eye-catching is the way this foreign girl is dressed. She wears a low-cut loose dress that exposes her slender neck and most of her plump chest. She seems to be showing off her body in an exaggerated way.
, but it naturally creates a strong visual sense of plumpness.
Then she actually walked straight towards Zhu Xianhai.
"Hello, sir, are you an Oriental?"
Looking at the foreign girl in front of me, I have to say that the appearance of this foreign girl is indeed very outstanding. But, why are her eyes shining?
Is it because I'm so handsome?
"I am Chinese!"
"Chinese? You are from China!"
Elizabeth's eyes flashed with doubts. She looked at the Chinese man in front of her, and even looked at his hair specifically.
"You don't have pigtails? Haven't Chinese men always had pigtails as their hairstyle since childhood? All their hair has been shaved off, except for a small bunch of hair on the back of their heads..."
In many pictorials and books, Chinese men should have two mustaches and one long braid.
Just like what was described in John Newhoff's "The Dutch Envoy's First Visit to China", which was a book that was popular throughout Europe. Of course, Elizabeth did not know the Chinese through illustrated magazines. She had also met Chinese people.
, but this person is obviously different from them. What exactly is different? It’s not just the braids, it seems that their temperaments are also completely different.
"That's from the Qing Dynasty."
The woman's gestures made Zhu Xianhai extremely uncomfortable. Why did the pig's tail become a symbol of China? His tone naturally became a little dissatisfied.
"People from the Qing Dynasty?"
Elizabeth's beautiful gray eyes were full of doubts.
"Miss, the people of the Qing Dynasty are the people of the Qing Dynasty, and the Chinese are Chinese."
Zhu Xianhai said seriously.
"I am Chinese!"
