The maid gently put down the tea tray and poured another cup of tea for Long Chen.
Regardless of their appearance, the women in Linglong Pavilion are all very muscular, with an S-shaped figure, strong legs for walking, and perky buttocks as a standard feature.
Long Chen looked at the maid and looked at her with admiration.
The maid poured the tea and went down.
Long Chen drank tea alone and waited quietly for Gongsun Linglong to come out.
After a while, Gongsun Linglong came out of the forge.
"Let's go, that's all."
Long Chen put down his teacup and followed Gongsun Linglong into the forging workshop.
When he walked in, a heat wave hit him, and Long Chen felt like he was back in the sultry summer.
The female workers inside had already put on their clothes, but they were all lightly dressed, and some were simply covered with a rough linen blouse.
People here cannot wear silk because they are afraid of fire.
Originally, these people were shirtless, which was okay, you saw it when you saw it.
This time, after putting on the linen clothes, the looming appearance made Long Chen even more energetic and looked more charming.
"Are you sure you didn't mean it?"
Long Chen asked Gongsun Linglong with a smile.
Gongsun Linglong didn't understand and asked: "What's intentional? Of course they have to wear clothes, what are you thinking!"
"You used to be a eunuch, just read it if you saw it, don't think about it again in the future."
Long Chen secretly laughed in his heart: It’s okay to just wear linen clothes.
"Wang Juan!"
Wang Juan, the person in charge of the forging shop, ran over.
She was also wearing a light linen garment and a pair of short trousers, and she jumped up and down when she ran.
Long Chen felt his eyes were a little dazzled.
"Meet King Wu and meet the Pavilion Master."
Wang Juan bowed respectfully and saluted.
The collar of the linen clothes was very low and the clothes were loose. Wang Juan bent over and Long Chen looked over clearly.
"Without any gift, please show me the entire forging process." Long Chen looked friendly and stepped forward to help Wang Juan up with his own hands.
At such a close distance, the line of sight was finally clear.
Gongsun Linglong is not stupid and knows what Long Chen is doing.
Wang Juan was very grateful and said: "Thank you, King Wu."
When she raised her head, Wang Juan's eyes met Long Chen's. She realized something was wrong and hurriedly covered her clothes.
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "Please."
Wang Juan walked in front and took Long Chen to watch it from beginning to end.
From the melting of molten iron to the molding of the gun barrel, every process is correct. Why is the shooting inaccurate in the end?
"How's it going? Have you checked it out?"
Gongsun Linglong asked.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "It doesn't make sense. They are all right. How could the shot be inaccurate in the end?"
Gongsun Linglong said coldly: "Are you paying attention seriously? Your attention is not focused on them, right?"
Long Chen said with disdain: "Luxury is still lust, and business is business. Am I that kind of person?"
It was sweltering in the forge, and the linen clothes on the female workers' bodies were quickly soaked with sweat.
Everyone was sweating profusely, and sweat dripped down their hands and feet, forming patches of water on the ground.
It's really hard to work in this kind of environment.
"Then why can't we find the reason? Is there something wrong with your design itself?"
Gongsun Linglong suspected that there was something wrong with Long Chen's design.
Long Chen shook his head slightly: "It's impossible. I made precise calculations at that time. How is it possible?"
"Let's go to the shooting range and have a look."
If there is no problem with the forging process, then the problem must be with the crossbowman.
Gongsun Linglong took Long Chen out of the forging workshop and arrived at the shooting range. There happened to be a dozen crossbowmen testing flintlock guns.
After Long Chen left, the female workers in the forge stopped and whispered:
"King Wu is becoming more and more handsome."
"I haven't seen a man in more than ten years
Already."
"I didn't meet King Wu last year, so how can I say I haven't met a man?"
"He was not a man at that time, he was a eunuch."
"Did you let King Wu see it just now on purpose?"
"Nonsense, who dares to seduce King Wu."
Wang Juan scolded: "Don't mess around, work!"
range.
The crossbowman holds the flintlock gun in both hands and shoots at the target in the distance.
Bang!
After the gunshot, the target did not move.
"Look, that's it."
Gongsun Linglong said helplessly.
Seeing the shooting posture of the crossbowman, Long Chen immediately understood the crux of the problem.
"Muskets and crossbows are different. Their shooting postures are wrong."
The shooting postures of these crossbowmen are all kinds of weird. They are either the same as drawing a bow or the same as using a crossbow. There is no correct one.
It's strange that it can be shot like this.
Gongsun Linglong called the people over: "You all come here! King Wu said that your shooting posture is wrong."
These crossbowmen are all masters, and their crossbow shooting is very accurate.
After hearing what Gongsun Linglong said, these people were naturally unconvinced.
"Pavilion Master, we shoot at least hundreds of times every day, how could it be inaccurate?"
"There's obviously something wrong with this flintlock gun."
Long Chen took a flintlock gun, put the gunpowder and lead bullets away, pointed at two places and said: "This is Wangshan, this is the crosshair, and that is the bullseye."
"When firing a flintlock gun, you must have three points and one line, so that it can be accurate."
"Also, when shooting a flintlock gun, the butt of the gun must be held against the shoulder, because the recoil of the gunpowder will cause the muzzle to shake."
"Watch it!"
Long Chen aimed at the bullseye and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
After the gunshot, the lead bullet did not hit the bullseye.
The crossbowman lowered his head and smiled secretly, King Wu of Zhou was nothing more than that.
Gongsun Linglong looked at Long Chen doubtfully and asked: "You can't shoot accurately either?"< br>
Long Chen knew that this was because the number of shots was too few.
Long Chen had never used a gun before, so it was impossible for him to be able to pick it up.
"Reload me!"
Long Chen was very calm.
The crossbowmen loaded their ammunition one by one, and Long Chen kept firing.
After more than twenty shots, the lead bullet accurately hit the bullseye.
"Hit!"
Gongsun Linglong said happily.
Long Chen picked up the flintlock gun and fired again. Every subsequent shot accurately hit the target.
"Did you see that King Wu's shooting method is correct?"
Gongsun Linglong severely reprimanded these crossbowmen.
Long Chen put away the gun and said: "You just try the gun as I told you. You must learn it well. From now on, you will be the coach of the new army."
Seeing that the crossbowmen were indifferent, Gongsun Linglong scolded: "A bunch of idiots, King Wu is promoting you."
Only then did the crossbowmen suddenly realize, and they worshiped together: "Thank you King Wu for the promotion."
When they are coaches, they are officers, not crossbowmen in Linglong Pavilion.
"You're welcome. There's nothing wrong with the flintlock. Let's continue with the training and testing."
Long Chen was washing his hands beside him.
Gongsun Linglong was relieved and said: "I was worried that there was something wrong with the forged gun. It's fine if there is no problem. It scared me to death."
Long Chen wiped his hands with a towel, looked at Gongsun Linglong's buttocks, and couldn't help but squeeze it again.
"Hey. What are you doing!"
Gongsun Linglong grabbed a handful from Long Chen out of habit.
When joking in the past, Gongsun Linglong always liked to mock Long Chen as a eunuch.
Whenever Long Chen pinched Gongsun Linglong, Gongsun Linglong would grab Long Chen.
He used to be a eunuch, and he was arrested as soon as he was arrested.
Today was different. Gongsun Linglong was startled and her face turned red.
"Shameless!"
Gongsun Linglong cursed.
Long Chen looked confused and asked: "My Lord Gongsun, why are you so shameless?"
