Obviously, when Nie Xiaoyu said that he wanted to build a gun for Wang Junlin, he had already made preparations for a long time in advance. This lathe was only one aspect. The next piece of steel that Nie Xiaoyu took out was a piece of steel the size of an adult's head. It was very pure. A piece of silver, a piece of copper with almost no impurities, etc., all kinds of materials are placed next to it, which fully illustrates this point.
Nie Xiaoyu's operation was so precise that it was impossible for humans to do it, and it was very fast without any unnecessary operations. However, it took half an hour to make a gun barrel. Wang Junlin looked at it and found that although It's just a smoothbore, but we also know that the accuracy of the barrel is at least as high as that of muskets from the First World War.
After a full two hours, all the spare parts were made by Nie Xiaoyu in sequence. Wang Junlin made each spare part next to him and began to install it after a while. After Nie Xiaoyu made the last spare part, he already had it in his hands. With a complete musket.
This is a musket between a rifle and a pistol. It has no paint and is made of pure steel. It looks stiff and feels cold in the hand, but Wang Junlin's heart is hot at this moment.
This kind of enthusiasm was not only because he was excited about holding a gun in his hand again, but also because he thought about the scene when his army was equipped with muskets and swept across the world, so his heart was filled with enthusiasm.
Of course, Wang Junlin knew that guns were actually not very high-tech. He even remembered that in later generations, a large-scale gun sale was uncovered in a province on the northwest plateau. Two brothers who had graduated from high school were carrying gun structures they bought from a bookstore. After studying related books for a period of time, I ordered related machinery such as lathes and manufactured the guns.
Wang Junlin even knew that because of the precision of the black fire formula, bullets were more troublesome to make than guns.
The gun in Wang Junlin's hand is about eight inches long and is a medium-barreled musket with a caliber of 15 mm.
Because Nie Xiaoyu made all the parts himself, the inner bore of the barrel was polished to be extremely smooth. Wang Junlin had previously taken the barrel and looked up through the light, and found that there was even reflection on the inner wall.
Because spring steel has extremely high requirements for steel materials, the only disadvantage of this gun is that the elasticity of the power reed is much worse than that of later generations of guns. The shooting distance and speed of bullets may not be as good as those of later generations, but in this era it has It's enough.
This gun uses black fire and powder to push and launch. After building all the parts of the gun, Nie Xiaoyu directly started to build the bullet, which is actually the cartridge case and warhead.
Because although the cartridge case only appears after the bullet head is shot out, when making bullets, the cartridge case must also be present before the bullet can be made.
In order to save on the process, the material Nie Xiaoyu chose was silver that could be directly used to make cartridge cases and warheads without any processing procedures.
It cost ten taels of silver to make a hundred silver bullet cases and solid silver bullets in one go. He also used specially treated copper to make a hundred small bullet bases and fires, and installed the firing device inside. of thunder and mercury, and then used the powerful instantaneous impulse of the lathe to press the primer to the bottom of the cartridge case.
The next thing Wang Junlin can also help with is to manually pour the granular black fire powder that Nie Xiaoyu made in advance into the cartridge case bit by bit, and press it firmly, and finally use the powerful power of the lathe to instantly The pressure and Nie Xiaoyu's extremely precise operation skills pressed the cartridge case and bullet head together.
Wang Junlin knew that even if someone witnessed Nie Xiaoyu's process of making guns and bullets today, and had the same lathe machine, it would be difficult to make a gun, let alone bullets.
After the bullets were made, Wang Junlin loaded the bullets into the gun on the spot and tested the gun. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the accuracy of the gun was much better than what he had expected, but the range was only 80 meters and the effective range was 50 meters.
Come on, there is no lethality beyond fifty meters.
In terms of range alone, it was not even as good as some strong bows. Wang Junlin knew that it was because the power reeds were not elastic enough, mainly because of the lack of spring steel.
However, compared to bows and arrows, this gun is naturally launched much faster, and the speed of bullets is far beyond what bows and arrows can match.
More than forty meters away, a rabbit that Nie Xiaoyu had prepared in advance was shot in the waist by Wang Junlin as soon as it emerged from the cage. It had such power because the caliber of this gun was larger than the caliber of ordinary guns in later generations.
If it is larger, the diameter of the bullet head will naturally be larger.
Although the range is a bit disappointing, this is the first gun made by Nie Xiaoyu after all. Wang Junlin believes that the next time Nie Xiaoyu makes a second-generation gun, the range problem will be greatly improved.
What's more, even with this gun, if he fights within fifty meters, even if he faces strong men such as the Spring and Autumn Messenger and the Sword God, he has a certain degree of confidence that he can hurt the opponent, and at least he can be invincible. As for
A warrior under the Grand Master can kill instantly with one shot as long as he grasps the timing of his shot.
Now that guns have been manufactured, how can we not have grenades and landmines that are much easier to manufacture? After Wang Junlin followed Nie Xiaoyu and saw the power of grenades and landmines, he left Nie Xiaoyu's private research and production factory with satisfaction. What happened next?
As for the mass production of grenades, landmines and guns, Wang Junlin still has plenty of time, and he will not be able to use such sharp weapons for at least three years.
In the next three days, Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu conceived and deduced their overall plan and some specific mission plans and plans. After deciding on some general things, Nie Xiaoyu left the specific details to fill in.
, Wang Junlin left Snake Island three days later.
However, he did not return to Fanyang County, but continued to the northeast. That direction was the direction of Goguryeo, so naturally he did not go with a ship, but with a hundred large and small warships, a total of four thousand navy
The officers and soldiers left.
The unlucky child Yuan Gaisuwen has been in Wang Junlin's hands for more than a year and has suffered too much. His father Yuan Taizuo also fulfilled all his demands in accordance with Wang Junlin's agreement and will not return his son to him again.
It is really unjustifiable to give it to others. Of course, the premise is that Wang Junlin controls the two islands that Yuan Taizuo promised him.

…
"Ocean current?"
A group of guards around Zhang Tiangang and Wang Junlin were listening to a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties explaining some basic knowledge of maritime navigation. However, only Wang Junlin could understand what this young man said, especially some new words.
Everyone else felt like they were listening to a book from heaven.
