Not only Zhao Shizhen stood up, but Qi Jiguang also stood up. They all stared at what was in Shi Yiwen's hand, and they were very familiar with that thing.

Fire scythe.

Any ordinary family doesn’t have a fire sickle at home? After all, this is a thing for cooking with fire, and for people in the ranks, they need to be carried with them for emergencies.

Everyone is familiar with it, but... Shi Yiwen is not familiar with it. He doesn't even know it, but this does not prevent him from using the fire sickle to explain it to Qi Jiguang.

With this physical object, Qi Jiguang knew Shi Yiwen’s thoughts without even explaining it.

"Did Zhiyuan want to use flint to cause fire?"

Before Qi Jiguang could ask, Zhao Shizhen asked hurriedly, and then he was puzzled.

"No, how can this flint cause fire? Unless it can make the flint move..."

Seeing Zhao Shizhen frowned and thoughtful, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"What Shiji said is very true. As long as the flint moves, you can naturally ignite the fire."

Sometimes, just talking, it may not be able to explain clearly, there must be something. Looking at the bird gun resting on the chair over there, Shi Yiwen smiled.

"I wonder if I can use Shiji's gun barrel?"

It is definitely too late to build a flintlock rifle, but with the ready-made gun barrels, the rest is naturally much easier to deal with.

In the excuse of going back to the house to draw the drawings, he first entered the space and found the pattern of the flintlock rifle and flintlock machine in the library, and then found a piece of spring steel sheet the size of a palm, and then returned to the study again. However, after only a while, Shi Yiwen drew the drawings of the flintlock machine with a pencil. After all, it was just a device with more than a dozen simple parts.

As the former imperial village, Shitaizhuang has an advantage that ordinary villages cannot match - there are various craftsmen making and repairing farm tools, and naturally there are blacksmiths.

"I've seen the young master,"

When Xu Tieshan saw the young master bringing the guests, half a foot away, he quickly saluted. He was a slave in the village and a craftsman from the world, and had a very good craftsmanship.

"Old Xu, don't be so polite. I want to ask you to make something for me. That's it."

He handed the pattern to Xu Tieshan and asked.

"How is it, can I make it?"

Looking at the things on the pattern, Xu Tieshan thought for a while, then nodded and said.

"Look at what the young master said, it's not a complicated thing. Is the young master anxious?"

"Okay, how long will it take?"

"If Tiezhu and Tie Shuan and our third brother, it will take at most two hours."

Two hours, that is, four hours, Qi Jiguang naturally was willing to wait. Not to mention two hours, he was willing to wait even two days. After all, the things he had to do in the capital had been completed.

While waiting for Xu Tieshan to make a flintlock machine, Shi Yiwen was not idle, but discussed with Qi Jiguang how to train troops. After all, among many views in later generations, it is said that the Qi family army is almost a modern army.

Qi Jiguang knew everything about Shi Yiwen's inquiry, from strict and even cruel military laws to how to boost morale. Of course, how he commanded the battle. From the scouts reporting the enemy situation every hour, to the maps in the army were also drawn in red and black, so that they could be clear at a glance. The soil was used to shape the terrain sand table...

All of this made Shi Yiwen's gaze at Qi Jiguang change. Although sometimes Li Zide and Zhang Peng and the others were occasionally adding, Shi Yiwen seemed to see the shadow of a modern military general in him.

Although he does not agree with cruel military laws such as cutting the ears at any time, Shi Yiwen agrees with the importance of military laws. After all, strict military laws are one of the main differences between modern and ancient military forces, and of course there are differences such as logistics.

However, in most cases, Shi Yiwen is just an audience. After all, in front of famous generals like Qi Jiguang, if you talk too much, you will just show off your skills.

After chatting like this for more than an hour, after Xu Tieshan sent the prepared flintlock machine, Shi Yiwen took them to Carpenter Chen's place and instructed him to make a butt stock using hardwood.

Looking at the butt stock that was completely different from the bird gun, Qi Jiguang's eyes suddenly lit up.

"This gun bed in Zhiyuan, oh, butt stock, seems to be very informative."

"Qi Shuai has good eyesight."

Shi Yiwen smiled.

"The gun bed of the bird gun can only be held, and it is more susceptible to recoil when shooting, and this butt can be against the shoulder. This way, the grip is more stable, and it has another advantage, that after installing a bayonet, it can turn the gun into a gun, so I call it the "flintlock rifle."

"Turn a gun into a gun!"

In Qi Jiguang's surprise, Shi Yiwen pointed to the sight of the gun barrel that was already on the fixed stock, and then said.

"It is to create a bayonet, which is about two feet long, and is installed on the scabbard and hung around the waist without any use. When used, it can be rotated and fixed on the gun head. This way, even if the enemy is close, soldiers can assassinate and use it, and even if the enemy is approaching, soldiers can assassinate with guns. However, the butt stock should be made of high-quality hardwood, preferably hardwood such as walnut elm and birch."

Shi Yiwen's explanation made Qi Jiguang and others' eyes lit up, and Zhang Pengju, who was bearded, said even more excited.

"Oh, Shi Tongzhi, you've decided this move. The reason why this army cannot use bird guns all because the gunman is useless in close proximity. He has to have spear soldiers and swords and shields to protect him. With bayonets, there is no need for human protection. Turning the gun into a gun, good things, good things, how can you come up with such a good thing?..."

While praising her, Zhang Pengju's gaze at Shi Yiwen also changed. In his opinion, Shi Tongzhi, who was not yet weak, was definitely a person with real skills.

Not to mention Zhang Pengju, even Qi Jiguang's eyes at Shi Yiwen changed, especially when he saw the "long spear" that was almost 5 feet long, his expression even seemed a little excited. Compared to them, Li Zide, who was beside him, said lightly.

"Shi Tongzhi has a good idea, but this bayonet is probably not easy to build. Assassination and shooting are both good, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with."

"What's wrong with this? It's just a tube-type bayonet. The handle of the bayonet is made into a tubular shape and put it outside the barrel, so that the bayonet can shoot at the same time. Look, it's like this... bamboo tube..."

From the ground beside him, he picked up a piece of bamboo tube and Shi Yiwen gestured.

"There is a gap in the mouth here, and there is a rotatable iron ring here. After installing it, rotate it and jamm the gap sight, and then rotate the iron ring to prevent the movement of the pipe sleeve. In this way, wouldn't it be fixed?"

After saying that, Shi Yiwen looked at Li Zide and smiled.
