After installing the crosshair sight, Claude resumed shooting practice and his life became regular. For example, he rode horses in school two days a week, went to the woods outside the town for shooting practice two days a week, and two days a week.
Tian went to Erikson's dock to help build a small fishing boat. Of course, he only stayed with him to do what he could, and the technical work was not his turn...
Another Sunday, Bockar encouraged the four of them to bring their matchlocks and go hunting in the small hills and mountain forests on the southern outskirts of the town. As a result, they set off in high spirits and came back dejected, not even catching a single bird feather.
He said that he had two big blisters on his feet from shopping all day. When he got home, Claude collapsed on his bed.
This is no longer a question of whether the marksmanship is accurate, but rather the inability to catch any prey. The southern suburbs of the town are mostly home to the town’s farms, forest farms, orchards and vegetable gardens. Although there are many hills and forests,
There were no larger prey at all, and those that had been hunted for ivory sacrifices had long since been hunted.
The rest are nothing more than small animals such as moles, mountain rabbits, and pheasants. But these guys are hunted down by the watchdogs in farms, forestry farms, orchards and vegetable gardens every day. All of them have become extremely clever, and they will immediately run away at the slightest movement. Several times, they were defeated.
The four Lords found the targets, but before the muskets were set up, the targets fled without a trace...
On the way back, Bok'ar gritted his teeth and said harshly that it was all his fault that he had found nothing this time because he had chosen the wrong place. The hills and forest areas in the southern suburbs of the town were not a good place for hunting. He forgot
With so many people coming and going here, it is impossible for there to be any big prey. Therefore, next Sunday he plans to get out the delivery carriage of his business and take everyone to the foot of the mountain to the west of the town, where the mountains are densely forested.
, you will definitely find good prey...
Let’s talk about next week. Claude picked out the two blisters on his feet and applied some trauma medicine given by Vericro. His feet felt a little cool and the pain was relieved a lot.
.Last week, because my feet were a lot bigger, the original shoes were no longer suitable. My mother went to buy a pair of leather boots in a larger size for Claude. However, Claude forgot that the new shoes would chafe his feet.
, I wore new leather boots to climb mountains and ridges, and the two big blisters on my feet were self-inflicted.
There was a stack of Manley paper on the table, which was the result of Claude's time at home. Every night at home, he would remember all the things about the structure of the flintlock gun and the shape and design of early muskets in his previous life.
I drew it on a piece of paper so that I would not forget it in the future. Unfortunately, the time traveler did not study science majors such as mechanics and chemical engineering in his previous life, but studied computers and business management, which is of no help to his current situation.
If I had known that I could time travel, the time traveler might have worked hard to learn and understand the knowledge of military affairs and mechanical forging...
Claude sighed and lay helplessly on the bed. In his previous life, he was not even a pseudo-military fan. The only gun he touched a few times was the first time he was given the training during the military training in college, using the Bayi style.
After firing ten bullets, my score was sixty-three, ranking among the top in the class...
Later, I don’t know whether it was three or four times that the boss took me to an underground shooting range. It is said to be a business place of a company that cooperates with military and civilian businesses. But most of those times were for socializing and discussing business cooperation. Who said that the boss was a
Firearms fan, loves shooting sports, whether on the shooting range or in bed...
It would be great if I had boss Wu's knowledge of firearms. He can speak clearly about any gun. He can even transform a flintlock gun out of discarded material pipes in the garage, paint it with gold and red and decorate it into a gift for the boss.
What a great gift, it looks very dazzling when placed on the desk. Many people who don’t know think it is a real original antique musket, which makes Boss Wu very proud...
If Boss Wu traveled through time, he would definitely show off his skills in this different world... Claude thought so. Most of the flintlock guns painted on his desk were also the flintlocks given by Boss Wu on his boss's desk.
The impression the gun left on him was that the flintlock gun had never been fired once. Although Boss Wu also mentioned that the gun was practical, no one was so full that he actually used it to shoot.
One shot...
To be honest, Claude has also thought about it. If Boker sells his Sullivan gold coin, if he has the money, he should go to Big Hammer to find boss Mike and give these flintlock accessories one by one.
Try building a flintlock gun yourself?
But a problem posed in front of Claude. The laws of the kingdom did not prohibit musket enthusiasts from modifying muskets. However, their designs had to be reviewed and approved by the musket workshop of the kingdom, and they could only be used in muskets.
Customization in the workshop. There is no problem in making some musket accessories in the blacksmith shop, but the blacksmith shop cannot make a barrel for you.
The barrels of all muskets can only be produced in the kingdom's gun-making workshops. They have their own serial numbers and are recorded in the workshops. If it is found that there is no official serial number on the barrel, even if it is a national identity
, will definitely be punished. Not everyone can afford to bear the crime of privately manufacturing firearms.
Claude also had another way to dismantle the Obash II standard matchlock gun, and then modify the barrel with the official serial number into a flintlock barrel. However, this idea was quickly rejected.
Lord gave up. If he really wanted to test a flintlock gun, one barrel would obviously not be enough. At least several barrels would be needed for testing.
Claude is not a skilled worker and has a confident technical reserve. He just conducts experiments based on the impressions he has seen and remembered in his previous life. In the beginning, it is not possible but will definitely break several barrels.
.And it is impossible for these damaged barrels to become the barrels of matchlock guns again, which means that they cannot be put back together...
Maybe there will be conditions and opportunities in the future... Claude didn't want to break his only matchlock gun and then be scolded by his father. He reluctantly got up and put the stack of Manley paper on the table.
I put it away in a drawer, and then I couldn't stop my body from being tired, so I took a shower and fell asleep.
When I went to school the next day, I found Erikson beaming as if he had picked up a riaso on the road. After asking, I found out that this guy was really rich. Last night, his father, Captain Otruni, came back and saw that the ship at the dock was being refitted.
You'll know all about it once you ask Uncle Peg, who is guarding the dock. When he woke up in the morning, Ericson was praised by his father. He praised him for being able to save money, do things, have ideas and abilities, and he promised to give Ericson the money.
The cost of repairing and rebuilding the ship is two gold crowns.
In White Deer Town, buying a new small single-sail fishing boat called Swordfish like old Sonny's costs eight to nine gold crowns, which is more than forty silver thalers.
Calculated at one hundred thalers, it is equivalent to more than 4,000 yuan. And now the average civilian's monthly income is only between one and two thalers, so they want a new single-sail fishing boat at least
You have to save money on food and spend three or four years before you can afford it.
Erikson used the proceeds from his adventure to Bailuzhou to buy this broken sea-turner, removed the planks, and then planned to use his broken wave to transform the two into a small single-sail fishing boat.
, although it was only five meters long, almost two meters shorter than those small single-sail fishing boats, it saved almost two-thirds of the shipbuilding cost. No wonder his father was so happy and agreed to give him two gold crowns in one go.
Alteration costs.
Erikson had already planned to give a gold crown to Uncle Peg, who was guarding the dock, as if he was responsible for the labor cost of rebuilding this small fishing boat. Claude, Verricro, and Bockar naturally
It's just friendship and help, and the result is that the work is in vain, and no salary is needed.
There is also a gold crown that can be used to purchase glue, powder, copper nails and other odds and ends, and the debts owed to two partners, Vericro and Bockar, have been written off. In total, there is still a few silver thalers left.
Riazor, you can treat everyone to another good meal and consider it as wages.
According to Erikson's calculations, his small fishing boat should be ready for trial in one month. One of the biggest questions that puzzles him right now is what name he should give his small fishing boat.
The nicest, most powerful and coolest ship name...
Claude, Verricro and Bockar quickly walked a few steps, leaving Erikson behind and letting him slowly struggle with the name of the ship. At this time, no matter what name they helped to come up with, Erikson would feel uncomfortable.
It was up to him to figure out what was suitable for his beloved, unique small fishing boat in Bailu Town.
Claude's life was still the same. He went to school. After school, he either went to the dock to help Uncle Peg or went to the woods outside the town for musket shooting practice. When he got home at night, he still thought about the improvement plan for the musket and tried his best from his mind.
Recall the past life events deep in my memory, and write them down on paper using Chinese characters if they feel useful. I believe that no one in this world can understand what these square characters on the paper say...
The crosshair sight customized by Bockard in the Big Hammer Smithy is also good. Boss Mike's skills are still so superb. Claude took some time to install it on his matchlock gun. But Bockard
I didn’t have much patience. After practicing shooting for a few times and basically mastering the three-point and one-line aiming method, I felt that I had shooting talent. There was no need to practice shooting so hard. I handed the matchlock gun to Verricro and went to do his own thing.
.
When Vericro practiced shooting with Bockar's Obash II standard matchlock gun, he had to remove the crosshair sight from the muzzle every time, and he had to use the error distance adjustment that he had mastered.
Aim and shoot.
It happened every time, so Claude impatiently taught him how to install and calibrate the crosshair sight, and then Verricro became the only one among his friends who could install the sight without using the three-point and one-line aiming method.
The guy who calibrates and adjusts the crosshair sight...
Bockard kept his promise, and on Sunday he really got the carriage that his business company drove to deliver goods in the town. As a result, early in the morning, four friends took the carriage with muskets and drove towards the mountains to the west of the town.
To the west of Bailu Town is a continuous mountain range with high mountains and dense forests. It has always been the hunting ground for the hunters of Bailu Town. The map calls this large mountain range with a radius of nearly a thousand miles the Lomichlin Mountains. I don’t know when.
But according to folklore, this mountain range was once the kingdom of an evil dragon, and Lomiklin was the name of that evil dragon.
As for the later story of the evil dragon named Lomiclin being hunted by those evil magicians, it can only be mentioned occasionally in folklore, and is not recorded in any official history books, biographies or novels. Anyway,
It's those evil magicians and evil dragons who are killing each other. It's nothing to do with mortals. It's best if they all die cleanly...
Bockal once again miscalculated. Due to time constraints, there was only one rest day, minus the round trip and time, so everyone’s hunting activities lasted only half a day. They walked around at the foot of the mountain, but harvested very little, not to mention the big prey.
, even smaller prey were rarely seen, and in the end the only thing that could be taken was a pheasant whose wings were injured by Viricero...
Don't worry, when my boat is ready, I can take everyone to the reeds on the shores of Lake Beringa to hunt wild ducks. This is what Erikson finally comforted Bockaar.
