677 Why are there scratches?
What, was this invented by the emperor? Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were both a little surprised. The two of them stepped forward at the same time, looked at the gun holding Bi Maokang's hand, and couldn't help but praise: "No, good gun!"
When Bi Maokang heard this, he couldn't help but take a secret glance at Emperor Chongzhen, and thought to himself that he was shameless. When he heard that it was the emperor's guidance, he ran over to praise the gun. If you have the ability, what's the good thing about it? You don't believe it. The rifle was pulled into the barrel of the gun, and you two could see through it at a glance?
If Bi Maokang really talks so much, Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou will definitely be embarrassed. However, although he is a technical official, he still has common sense in life, and he will not explain it. He just turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen and waited for the decree.
Emperor Chongzhen also smiled in his heart, then nodded and said, "Bi Qing, let them open their eyes!"
Since Bi Maokang was able to bring the gun so seriously, he knew that Bi Maokang must have tested it in advance, and that is, the advantages he knew should have been verified. Since that is the case, let's try it.
After receiving the order, Bi Maokang turned his head and called his servants to start the operation. Then he turned his head and smiled and said to the two watching generals: "I am old and old, so I must do it myself."
"What are you talking about by sir?" Mao Yuanyi said with a smile, shaking her head, "But they will do better such rough work."
He was polite in his mouth, but his eyes were staring at the servant's movements. After looking at it for a while, Mao Yuanyi suddenly felt extremely surprised. What's going on? What's the matter with that lead bullet? What do you need to use to knock the bar through the strip and send the lead bullet to the bottom. This... this way of loading makes the loading speed too slow, right?
Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zu Dashou next to him, and found that he was also looking at him. Both of them saw the doubts in each other's eyes. What is the improvement of the flintlock rifle?
Mao Yuanyi couldn't understand it, so she turned to look at the emperor again, but found that the emperor was smiling at the operation, and seemed to have no idea that the reloading speed was extremely slow.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw Mao Yuanyi turning to look at him, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't hurry, look at him!"
"I'm so anxious!" Mao Yuanyi felt a little embarrassed. After admitting, he turned around and continued to watch Bi Maokang's servant's operations.
From the whole process, the difference between this so-called improved flintlock rifle and an ordinary flintlock rifle is that the lead bullet is larger, which seems to be larger than the barrel hole. This is the so-called improved flintlock rifle? It is just an improved lead bullet! But can this lead bullet become larger, which can also be called improvement?
In fact, this idea is not just Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, but everyone else, including Li Dingguo, all thought so. They were extremely puzzled. But the emperor had already spoken, so he could only wait and see what tricks the flintlock rifle could do!
When Bi Maokang's servants were ready, they walked to the shooting range to stand regularly. The flintlock spearmen standing in line and the flintlock spearmen standing opposite them stared at him curiously, wanting to see what was different? However, they were obviously disappointed!
And here, seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding, Bi Maokang said to a Jinyiwei guard near by, "Go and ask them to move the target twice!"
The Jinyiwei Chief, who was accompanying him, was naturally a little knowledgeable. When he heard Bi Maokang's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. He wondered if he had heard it wrong. Subconsciously, he went to seek the correct answer and turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen.
Not only him, Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou standing next to him also had the same idea as him, and he doubled his distance. What does it mean? Can he still hit the target? This is impossible!
The flintlock spearmen and the conjunction spearmen have already competed. The current range is both the average hit rate of 9 out of 3 or 4. If it is doubled further, haha...
However, Emperor Chongzhen looked calm and seemed not beyond his expectations. He nodded to the Jinyiwei Captain.
Since the emperor allowed it, the Jinyiwei School Captain immediately ran to the shooting range regardless of the exaggerated distance and said to a small flag responsible there. Even if he was far away from here and couldn't hear what he said, from the small flag's expression, he could feel that the small flag was also shocked by the request of twice as far away.
The flintlock spearman Xu Wenbo and others even wrote their surprise on their faces. They even forgot that the emperor looked at this place not far away, looked at each other, and found that the other was the same as him, which means that he had heard nothing wrong.
If you move twice as far away, how could you hit the target? Isn’t this a correct test, but a demonstration of other content?
The discipline of the raiders was slightly worse than that of the flintlock raiders, and some of them even questioned it. After hearing this, the servant of Bi Maokang turned to look at them, with a noticeable look of disdain on his face and a little complacent.
After a while, the target was twice as far away and everything was ready. Bi Maokang bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, then looked at Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, and said with a hint of pride: "Look at the two generals!"
Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were suspicious and turned around to look. After a command was given, they started shooting there, then loaded and shot again, and completed nine target shots in total.
The reloading of this flintlock rifle is really slow. Even if Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou are both generals, they are considered to be calm. But at this moment, they felt that the nine guns were shooting very long, and they felt a little impatient to wait for the first time.
After finishing the work, the Ming soldiers on the target side raised the banner, which shocked everyone at this shooting range. The target was twice as far away, and it was actually six out of nine? This... this was simply blinding!
"Your Majesty, I want to test the target!" Mao Yuanyi came to his senses and immediately bowed and said.
Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, Bi Maokang next to him had already smiled and said, "If Master Mao doesn't say it, I will also have someone present the target to His Majesty for the emperor to see!"
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Why, Mao Qing doesn't believe it, why don't I make a bet with you?"
When he heard this, Mao Yuanyi's understanding of the emperor immediately believed it, so he naturally did not dare to bet with the emperor. After taking the target, it was true!
At this moment, Mao Yuanyi, Zu Dashou and others' emotions were immediately ignited. They both asked to use the improved flintlock rifle to observe. This requirement naturally satisfies them.
After checking, Mao Yuanyi finally discovered the difference. He said in a little surprised: "Why are there scratches on the inner wall of this gun barrel?"
"Haha, the reason why this flintlock rifle can hit far and accurately lies in the scratch, that is, the rifle." Bi Maokang said with a smile, "And this is the guidance of Your Majesty!"
