The gun building workshop is outside the village, next to the cannon yard.

As soon as the group approached the gun building workshop, they heard the sound of muskets inside.

Liu Heng, who was walking in front, smiled and said, "The gun building workshop should be testing the muskets. Let's take a look and see what new achievements Zhao Blacksmith and the others have achieved."

This time he came to the Weapon Bureau, in addition to looking at the hydraulic hammer and hydraulic drilling machine, he also came to the gun building workshop to see the newly developed muskets.

There were war soldiers standing guard outside the gate of the gun building yard, and two war soldiers holding muskets outside the gate were lined up at the right and left.

Huang Chong took out a token and glanced at the two soldiers standing guard outside the door. They were allowed to enter the gun building workshop.

This regulation was only available after the promulgation of the new military regulations.

Even if the director of the Weapon Bureau like Huang Chong does not have to enter and exit the token of the gun building workshop, but is put in by the soldiers outside the door, the soldiers who put people in will be severely punished.

It can be said that no matter who it is, there is no entry or exit token, such as the war barracks and several workshops in the Weapon Bureau, it is not allowed to enter at all.

The military regulations have just been promulgated, and some casual soldiers will inadvertently violate the above regulations. Fortunately, the previous military regulations are still quite strict. After several punishments, the soldiers of each thousand-person team gradually adapted to the new situation.

military regulations.

"Let's go, go directly to the firearm test site." As soon as you enter the yard, Liu Heng took the lead in walking towards the test site.

Sure enough, when they appeared at the test site, they saw Blacksmith Zhao and several craftsmen shooting at the target in the distance.

Bang!

With a gun, a target twenty steps away was shot, and the lead bullet penetrated the wooden board, leaving a bullet hole.

Seeing the wooden target being shot through, Liu Heng praised: "Okay, I didn't expect that a pistol would have such great power to shoot the wooden target through."

He came to build the gun shop and heard that the gun shop had developed a handgun. Now when he saw it, he realized that the handgun developed by Zhao Blacksmith and others was even more powerful than he thought.

"Owner." Zhao Blacksmith walked over and handed over the hand gun in his hand. "This is a hand gun newly developed by the Bulletin Shop."

After receiving it, Liu Heng repeatedly looked at the pistol in his hand, and his face was overjoyed.

The gun building workshop has been developing self-generated muskets. Although they were successfully built, there were always various problems, which led to the inability to be equipped for combat soldiers. What he did not expect was that the pistol was developed first.

The pistol in his hand weighs more than one pound and is more than 30 centimeters long, which is not as good as the pistols of later generations, but for this era, it is already quite advanced.

After looking at the pistol for a while, Liu Heng looked at Zhao Blacksmith and said, "When the pistol was fired, I took a look and could penetrate the wooden board twenty steps away. This power is comparable to the self-successful I saw last time.

The musket is here.”

This seemed to ask Zhao's itchy spot, and he heard him say with a proud look on his face: "Actually, it's very simple. Use the original gun barrel to make a straight groove, so that it can be accurately and far."

Rivet... These two words appeared in Liu Heng's mind.

The Lumi gun assigned to the warrior was a smoothbore rifle. Now the handgun in his hand is a rifled rifle, and it is also the earliest straight-line rifle rifle.

Thinking of this, Liu Heng said: "If we use this straight groove on our self-generated musket, will the self-generated musket become more powerful and have a longer range?"

"Yes, why didn't I expect it?" Zhao Blacksmith slapped his forehead and said in annoyance.

After saying that, he threw Liu Heng aside and quickly ran towards the factory building of the gun building workshop.

Seeing this, Huang Chong, who was standing beside him, said awkwardly: "Don't be angry, Master Lao Zhao is like this. As soon as he gets touched with a musket, he forgets to eat and sleep, and he doesn't care about anything."

Liu Heng waved his hand with a smile, not caring.

Huang Chong, who was next to him, felt that Liu Heng was indeed not dissatisfied, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was a little angry that Zhao Blacksmith was not clear about the matter, but he knew that Zhao Blacksmith had such a temperament, otherwise he would not have made a musket like a hand gun.

But he still complained: "This old Zhao is really good. If you don't work on his own musket, what is the use of such a pistol? How can you do with a self-generated musket? "

Liu Heng heard this and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate this pistol. It's of use and can be given to our cavalry riders and gunners."

"The boss said this, it's true. It seems that Old Zhao is really good at making this pistol. " Huang Chong praised with a smile.

Liu Heng smiled and said, "You, there is no need to criticize and criticize him secretly. I am not that stingy."

Xiao thoughts were told, Huang Chong smiled.

Liu Heng suddenly said seriously: "I believe that Blacksmith Zhao can make a straight-riffled self-generated musket, but it cannot be equipped with a large number of musketmen for our musketmen. Therefore, in the future, the gun shop will still focus on the research and development of self-generated muskets without rifles.

”

"Ah! Why is this?" Huang Chong showed doubts on his face.

The rifling matter was told by his boss himself that Zhao Blacksmith Zhao said in a blink of an eye that the self-produced musket could not be equipped with his own musket gunner after the rifling was made, which became a deliberate guide to Zhao Blacksmith Zhao to the wrong way.

He didn't remember any conflicts between his boss and Zhao Blacksmith, and he developed a qualified self-generated musket for the use of the musket gunman with the tiger flag. Zhao Blacksmith studied the wrong direction and did not have any benefit to the tiger flag.

"You will understand when Blacksmith Zhao gets out the rifled musket." Liu Heng smiled, without explaining.

The most troublesome thing about rifled guns is to load ammunition. Strictly trained musketeers use smoothbore guns and can shoot two to three times a minute. However, rifled guns need to use probes to hit ball-shaped projectiles to deform the projectiles and embed them into the rifle.

Increased time to play.

This situation continued until the Minnier rifle changed.

Zhao Blacksmith's research direction is correct, but it is not suitable for the war of this era.

Huang Chong didn't understand. Seeing that Liu Heng was unwilling to say more, he didn't dare to ask questions, but he kept this in his heart. When Zhao Blacksmith built a self-produced musket with rifled, he decided to see with his own eyes how he would go back.

thing.

"Come on, get me a fixed-pack of gunpowder." Liu Heng said to a craftsman in a gun building workshop beside him.

After hearing this, the craftsman hurriedly handed Liu Heng a fixed-pack of gunpowder in his hand.

After taking the fixed-packed gunpowder, Liu Heng tore it open with his teeth, loaded the gunpowder and bullets into the gunpowder, raised the gunpowder with one hand, and held the wrist holding the gun with the other hand.

Aiming at the wooden target twenty steps away, pulling the trigger hard, you hear a bang, and your hands shake, causing your entire arm to sway.

The lead bullet pierced through the wooden target, leaving a bullet hole.

"No," Liu Heng praised, and then said to Huang Chong, "Find ten musketeers to test this kind of pistol. After passing the test, they will be given priority to the horse team."

"Yes." Huang nodded heavily.

The horse team is being formed, but bow shooting cannot be practiced overnight, and Liu Heng does not intend to make his horse team skillful.

The cavalry he expected would be equipped with cavalry self-generated muskets, hand guns, and sabers in the future.
