As for the Hall rifle, don’t be kidding. With its structure, the cost is more than double that of the Mini rifle.
The Brown Bess rifle was directly rejected by Sun Xuebin because of its front-loading smoothbore rifle and high failure rate.
"Are you kidding? If anyone wants to train himself to use this gun, our military team will definitely not use it."
After confirming that the Mini rifle was the equipment used by the naturalized army, everyone in the industrial team was ready for a big fight.
Zhang Feifei also plans to make an electric furnace by hand, otherwise, the gun barrel material will be difficult to process.
But what shocked them was that early the next morning, when the industrial team gathered together in the warehouse, Fang Xiaoyue took out a Mini rifle and said with a relaxed expression: "I made this last night, everyone try it."
Let’s try it out and see how it goes?”
Made by hand?
Zhang Feifei, somewhat confused, took the gun and went to the shooting range with everyone.
Well, the so-called shooting range is actually an open space on the seaside outside the dock area. If you set up some targets at ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters, and two hundred meters, it can barely be regarded as a shooting range.
After having people guard the area around the shooting range to prevent anyone from breaking in, Zhang Feifei loaded the gunpowder and bullets, then aimed at the target a hundred meters away and fired.
Bang!
An unavoidable black smoke from black gunpowder emerged.
I don’t know if I hit it or not.
Zhang Feifei then reloaded and fired again. After getting over the gun addiction, he asked someone to report the target.
"One shot for 100-meter target with 8 rings and one shot with 9 rings!"
"Two rounds of 10 rounds on the 200-meter target, one round of 8 rounds!"
...........
Well, in fact, the performance of this Mini rifle was officially determined only after everyone in the industrial group went to battle and had their gun addiction satisfied.
The performance of this Mini rifle is excellent. Within a distance of 500 meters, if the marksmanship is good, it can basically hit the target.
Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about a bad guy like Zhang Feifei. After shooting, his results were among the worst, so much so that when he walked out of the shooting range, his face looked bad.
However, before Fang Xiaoyue could formulate the manufacturing process standards for the Mini rifle, the Mini rifle was taken away by Sun Xuebin who came after hearing the news.
In his words: "When a new gun comes out, we users are not allowed to comment?"
Good guy, after Sun Xuebin took the gun to the shooting range, he almost shot it until it exploded before returning the gun.
As a result, when Zhang Feifei asked, Sun Xuebin fired all the fifty rounds of ammunition he had brought with him in one breath. The most important thing was that he had not cleaned the gun chamber yet!
Well, Sun Xuebin doesn't quite understand that the Minie rifle must have its barrel cleaned after firing more than ten rounds.
Only Fang Xiaoyue knew that the reason why Sun Xuebin did not blow up the gun was because the Mini rifle was made by himself.
The metal manufacturing effect of +20 makes the barrel of this mini rifle almost a one-of-a-kind product.
If someone uses an electron microscope to look at this barrel, they will find that the metal structure of this barrel is so special that its resistance is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary barrels.
Otherwise, if Sun Xuebin took it, at most twenty shots would explode.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't keep building this Mini rifle by hand, as that would tire him to death.
After establishing the process standards, Fang Xiaoyue dismantled the machine used to make five-shot rifles, modified some of its parts, and reassembled them to create a manual production line for making Mini rifles.
Well, only Fang Xiaoyue can do this kind of thing.
With sufficient materials, this manual production line, with ten workers, can produce twenty Mini rifles every day.
In other words, if the people in the industrial group are not too tired, they can produce 600 Mini rifles if they work overtime 24 hours a month.
Well, actually this is not a small number.
At this time in Europe, there were many musket workshops with more than a hundred workers, and their monthly output was only thirty muskets.
However, in Fang Xiaoyue's opinion, this manual production line is only an emergency need.
If you really want to industrialize production, you have to lay a good foundation.
The topic turned back to Deputy Qianhu.
After selecting a prisoner and releasing him, within a few days, Fu Qianhu's wife and son came with five hundred taels of silver to redeem Fu Qianhu.
At first Zheng Xiangdong thought about sending someone to accompany Deputy Qianhu back, but then he thought that the person he sent would probably be captured immediately when he arrived at Qianhu Station, so he had no choice but to give up this idea.
However, with the departure of Deputy Qianhu, Sun Xuebin stepped up the vigilance around the dock area.
Of the two hundred or so military personnel, at least twenty were sent out every day to stand guard.
At this time, Li Siming from the communication team announced good news.
PHS is ready for use!
This made Sun Xuebin excited, and he immediately asked Li Siming to match all members of the military team.
However, Li Siming said with some embarrassment that due to the lack of skilled manpower, the current assembly speed of PHS is limited, with a maximum of ten units per day.
This disappoints many travelers who want to equip themselves with a PHS.
But fortunately, at least those who go out on sentry duty are equipped with a PHS, so that when they discover a situation, they can quickly transmit information back.
A week later, the number of mini rifles in the military group reached 140. With the addition of five consecutive rounds, everyone had one firearm, completely getting rid of cold weapons.
But just as the members of the military team were seizing the time to practice shooting Mini rifles, a piece of bad news came back from the sentry who was out.
A Ming army appeared ten kilometers away from the dock area.
Well, in fact, this Ming army also came through the same route as last time, so we can deduce that it was sent by the defender Qianhu.
It seems that half of the interim management committee's previous plans have also come to nothing.
Defender Qianhu chose to continue his hostile attitude towards the time travellers.
Actually, this is not surprising.
In the eyes of several officials at the Qianhu Station of the Guard, the Chuanchuang were just a group of thieves who came from nowhere.
Under the great power of the Ming Dynasty, it is not worth mentioning that you are a small thief.
When he learned that the Ming army was invading again, Sun Xuebin hurriedly gathered the military team and boarded the truck with his men, preparing to go out and attack the enemy head-on.
Fang Xiaoyue did not participate this time. He was busy making a new batch of gun-making assembly lines.
Well, he had made guns individually before, but this was his first experience with an assembly line used to make firearms.
First, we design and then manufacture a batch of physical objects, and then we need to fine-tune and modify them according to the problems that arise during the actual production process.
In short, this is a relatively complex and tedious task.
