After looking up and down, he moved closer to the barrel of the gun and looked inside with one eye open.
He nodded secretly, seeming very satisfied.
"Bring the new warhead, put it on the target, and let me test-fire it."
"yes!"
Someone agreed, took out a wooden target as big as a man's head, and ran towards the end of the shooting range.
Nan Yanxi in the dark couldn't help but sneer: "Are you sick? It's so far away, but the target is so small."
"Not to mention this old-fashioned musket, our new rifles can hit accurately at this distance!"
Hearing this, Li Jingmo secretly smiled: "So, I told you that your visit is meaningless, so I won't listen."
"If the husband feels threatened, just ask Tian Mo and others to assassinate him, or just ask the army to cover him up, once and for all."
"Why do we have to go all the way? We have so many skilled craftsmen working day and night to develop new weapons, and he is still missing."
"Uh..." Nan Yanxi touched her nose awkwardly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
To be honest, when he first heard that someone in Southern Zhao could make firearms, he was still full of curiosity.
After all, in this world, the most organized and meaningful firecrackers are brought by oneself.
As soon as he heard that someone in Nan Zhao could build it, he couldn't help but be curious.
It can be said that against all opinions, I had to dress up to find out.
But seeing the so-called new fire gun he made today, Nan Yanxi was immediately disappointed.
I sighed secretly in my heart, as I was talking about making and developing firearms.
The several firearms manufacturing bureaus and research and development bureaus under his command are doing their part, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are the best in the world.
There are all kinds of skilled craftsmen, whether they are local craftsmen from various countries or foreigners from the west.
Whether they are experienced old people or young people full of novelties, they are all under his command.
Thinking of this, I suddenly lost interest.
But...now that we're all here, we can't leave now. After all, the food hasn't been served yet.
He held his temper and looked up, only to see Xu Yan taking out a strange thing from the wooden box in front of him.
It's about the size of a quail egg, but it's not the same as the lead bullets fired by Nan Yanxi's early fire guns.
The size is almost the same, but the one I made back then was spherical.
But when Nan Yanxi looked at it from a distance, what he took out looked like half a quail egg or half an egg cut horizontally.
In the light, there seemed to be some threads on it.
Speaking of which, the new rifles currently used by my troops use pointed bullets with fixed charges and copper shells.
The warhead is smaller and sharper than this thing.
And his thing was neither like the old-fashioned round lead bullets nor his new bullets, but it seemed a bit nondescript.
I saw Xu Yan standing up the gun, first pouring gunpowder into the barrel, and then filling the strange bullet into it.
After compacting it with a rod, pick up the firecracker.
However, you can't shoot yet. You need to pour igniting powder into the firing powder pool, and finally break the flint hammer to fire.
Such a cumbersome operation method made Nan Yanxi, who had long been accustomed to using new rifles, couldn't help but shake her head.
I thought to myself, if I really don’t make progress I will get beaten.
When I first made the firearm, I thought it was extremely advanced and powerful.
But in just less than a year, I already felt that the thing was a fire stick.
Not only did he think so, but Li Jingmo on the side couldn't help complaining: "This kind of old-fashioned thing looks really annoying."
"Husband... why don't we go back... I can still sleep for a few more hours if we go back now..."
"boom...!"
Before Li Jingmo finished his sentence, Xu Yan below had already started shooting.
There was a muffled sound, and a hundred steps away, the wooden handle the size of a head fell down.
On the roof, Nan Yan and Xi, who had been muttering just now, were suddenly speechless.
My eyes widened, staring in disbelief at what was happening below, and I didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Jing... Jingmo... can you use our latest rifle, the one with the longest range, to hit such a small object at this distance?"
"Probably not!" Li Jingmo shook his head: "Our new rifle can shoot very far."
"But in terms of accuracy, hitting such a small object in one hundred steps is really difficult to achieve."
"Even if it is possible, you have to take several more shots to adjust. It is absolutely impossible to hit the target with just one shot."
The two of them were shocked, and everyone below also congratulated them one after another.
"It's amazing... Master Xu's wisdom is truly unprecedented and unprecedented!"
"This threaded bullet plus the rifling tube is really amazing!"
"Yes, yes...such a huge success, we must celebrate it!"
Listening to everyone's praise, Xu Yan still seemed not satisfied, and muttered in a deep voice: "Actually... I think it can hit further."
"Moreover, this rifling process is too difficult. Not only is it time-consuming, but the failure rate is also so high."
"It's not good, it's not good...it needs to be improved..."
Then he said dullly to everyone: "You go ahead, I will study it later..."
After saying that, he abandoned the people who were cheering and celebrating and walked away with the blazing gun.
Nan Yanxi and Li Jingmo, who were lying on the roof, almost laughed out loud.
This Xu Yan was really a boring gourd, and he just left everyone standing there.
But it's okay, this kind of person is very brain-dead and is more suitable for studying something.
Seeing that the chief officer Xu Yan was gone, everyone's interest was immediately dampened and they had no choice but to leave the venue angrily.
As the experiment ended, the torches on the shooting range were removed one by one, and the busy people gradually went to rest.
In the huge Ordnance Bureau, there are only a few patrols left, interspersed between the corridors of the buildings in the Bureau from time to time.
The two of them observed on the roof for a while, and easily figured out the patrol frequency of the Ordnance Bureau.
There is no complaint in my heart. The Southern Zhao court is really big-hearted. The defense of such an important place is so lax.
However, this also reflects that the Southern Zhao court did not attach as much importance to firearms as imagined.
In other words, although I have realized it, I have not fully realized the importance of this firearm.
About half an hour later, the two people lying on the roof moved.
The two of them saw the opportunity, seized the opportunity to patrol, turned over, and quietly landed in the yard.
After looking around and confirming that it was safe, the two of them hid in the darkness and quietly groped in the direction of Xu Yan.
At this time, Xu Yan was sitting in the house, holding the fire gun and thinking about something.
Look left, look right, then lower your head and draw on the paper.
Nan Yanxi winked at Li Jingmo. Li Jingmo nodded knowingly, reached out and took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve.
Looking around and seeing no one, he took two steps forward and gently inserted the bamboo tube through the window paper.
What is contained in the bamboo tube is the ecstasy smoke.
Nan Yanxi felt that at this time when no one was around, it would be safest to rob him quietly.
Give it to Tian Mo and others and ask them to find a way to secretly send it out of the city.
But he didn't stop, and after he succeeded, he took the three girls and fled overnight.
When people from Nan Zhao discovered it after daybreak, it was too late.
This is simple and crude, and saves a lot of trouble.
The four of them no longer need to take huge risks and operate under the eyes of the enemy.
Li Jingmo approached the window, took a deep breath, and was about to blow out the smoke when footsteps suddenly came from the distance.
Seeing this, the two people quickly turned around and hid in the darkness.
Looking around, I saw that the person coming was a little girl.
Nan Yanxi looked at each other in confusion. In this ordnance bureau where male hormones are so intense, would there be a little girl?
I wonder if this Xu Yan still has a few maids?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the little girl walking quickly to Xu Yan's house and knocking on the door behind her.
He said anxiously: "Master Xu? Is Master Xu here?"
Xu Yan, who was deep in thought in the house, heard the sound, stood up and opened the door, and couldn't help but wonder: "Xiao Tao?"
"How did you come?"
"Master Xu...go and save my girl!"
Xiao Tao said anxiously: "Tonight, I received a benefactor. I didn't want to be a weirdo, but he made fun of beating others."
"That man gave me enough money, and my mother didn't care. The girl... she was almost beaten to death!"
"What?" Xu Yan was furious when he heard this.
He yelled angrily: "Why didn't you come earlier!"
Then he turned around, grabbed the fire gun in his hand, and shouted to Xiao Tao: "Let's go!"
