Chapter 112 The Match Gun

At this time, Zhu Bashiyi was no less than that of the boss of a private enterprise in the eyes of the craftsmen. Therefore, no one dared to question what he said. Even if he was not convinced by the new craftsman Jiao Yu, everyone could only pinch his nose and accept the reality of this person reaching the sky in one step.

The great craftsman Jiao Yu was born to be a piece of material for technical supervisors. With the full support of Zhu Bashiyi and Huang Laowai, he carried a fire chopstick and directed the craftsmen around him. Soon, he made a musket equipped with a medicine pot, rope clip and trigger. Although his appearance was still a certain distance from the mesh rope gun that Zhu Bashiyi had expected, compared with the large gun made by Lian Laohei in the first place, it can be described as a four-word word "reborn". At least, in Zhu Bashiyi's eyes, this thing can be completely called a musket!

According to the rules, Jiao Yu must take the first test shot by himself. However, Zhu Bashiyi was reluctant to let the treasure he had just picked up died in a weapon experiment accident. Therefore, despite Jiao Yu's angry face, he forced everyone to tie the musket to a wooden rack. Then he tied a rope at the trigger, and the rest of the work was left to Xu Hongsan, a person who had experience in lifting the gun.

Xu Hongsanba had to show any more in front of his governor, so he agreed immediately and quickly stepped forward. He took a long moxa velvet, put it on the stove and lit it, and clamped it on the fuse clamp. Then, according to the observation in the past few days, he used a wooden spoon to scoop out a small spoon from the gunpowder bag, and poured it into the pot that was prepared in advance with a file, stuffed it in the muzzle, and then used a strip of lead bullet to be pushed into it, and compacted it together with the gunpowder inside. Then he scooped a little bit of gunpowder with a spoon again, and poured it into the pot connected to the small hole of the gun barrel.

After a series of movements, although his hands and feet were quick, the time he spent was enough for ordinary people to pull the corner bow five times. But at this moment, he still couldn't open the fire immediately, leveled the muzzle again, and pointed the muzzle at the target. Then he quickly took five or six steps back, pulled the rope, and turned to ask Zhu Bashiyi for instructions.

"Start fire!" Zhu Bashiyi waved his arm, then stared at the second half of the barrel.

There is a place where gunpowder is compacted and stored in a concentrated manner. If a blow-off occurs, it will be the same place, so it attracts everyone's attention the most. Not only Zhu Bashiyi stares at her without blinking her eyes, but Huang Laowai, even Lao Hei and other craftsmen also held their breath and raised their hearts to their throats.

"Swish!" Xu Hongsan gently pulled the rope, and the mugwort lit at the end was clamped with a fuse clamp, and quickly pressed it down. The gunpowder in the medicine pot was ignited immediately, and the white smoke jumped up three inches high. Then, the musket tied to the wooden rack shook suddenly, and with a "bang", spraying the projectile onto the target fifty steps away.

"Hulala!" Regardless of whether Zhu Bashiyi was angry, Huang Laowai and his craftsmen rushed up. He followed the conveyor from the wooden rack and repeatedly checked it.

"There is no explosion, no explosion. There is no sign of deformation!"

"The muzzle has not changed at all, it seems to be a little dirty inside. Just wrap it with a cloth and wipe it!"

"It is easy to turn the trigger on the side to make the musket crooked, so it is better to move it down. Then dig a hole in the wooden butt stock, pass the mechanism through the hole, and connect it to the clip that clamps the fuse. In this way, it will definitely be more stable when igniting!"

"Nonsense, move all the mechanisms in. How big a hole would you have to dig. The gun body will be no longer solid immediately. It's better to just move the trigger and leave other pieces of things on the side."

"How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible? Look, the trigger is inserted into it like this, then pull out a shaft horizontally, then connect a pinion like this, and pull a copper spring horizontally, and the upper end!"

"Clip, the shape of this clip can be changed. It cannot be completely straight up and down. Turn the front and then cross it. This way, it is easier to find the medicine pot when pressing down!"

"Put a lid on the medicine pot, and it will be very windy, so that the gunpowder will be blown away!"

They are all experienced masters. After a window was pushed open, no one needed to worry about the rest. Soon, everyone worked together and came up with a complete set of improvement plans.

"Jiao Yu, you made the musket. You can watch it yourself! After a while, let's continue to try!" Zhu Bashiyi was also very excited, and left a sentence and walked quickly towards the target in the distance.

"Governor, half an inch into the wood. It's better than Brother Lian's big lifting gun, but it should be fine to penetrate the leather armor at a distance of fifty steps!" The boss of the Huang family was clever and ran up first, digging the projectile trapped on the target with an iron hook.

"Add to increase the dosage later, try again. You are responsible for weighing me each dosage with a small scale, and the minimum is accurate to the point!" Zhu Bashiyi intends to cultivate this clever young man and gave instructions with a smile.

"Oh, ah! I'll go now, and the younger one will go find the medicine scale!" Huang Lao Da agreed repeatedly and ran away quickly. After a moment, he took a very clean medicine scale, rubbed his fists and palms, and prepared to do a big fight.

Under Jiao Yu's unified command, the craftsmen improved the musket again according to the plan recognized by everyone. After about an hour of busyness, they tied the musket to the previous wooden bracket again.

This time, the mezzanine became closer to what Zhu Bashiyi had expected. Although the transmission device was still left on the right side of the gun, it looked a little eye-catching, but the trigger was completely moved under the barrel and a protective ring was put on the periphery. Even if you don't have to look at it with your eyes, you can accurately send your index finger to the trigger position with just one right hand.

"It's better to use a rope and slowly increase the amount of medicine, and increase the amount of medicine every time!" Seeing Jiao Yu standing at the coercion again, Zhu Bashiyi quickly said he would stop him.

"Yes!" Jiao Dajiang had no choice but to retreat in a bad mood. But this time, he refused to hand over the test shot to Xu Hongsan to complete it, but instead held the rope that pulled the trigger tightly in his hand.

Xu Hongsan did not argue with him, smiled kindly, and began to accurately measure the dosage with Boss Huang and was responsible for adjusting the direction of the muzzle. Seeing this, Liu Ziyun quickly went to find paper and pen and took charge of the record. The four people worked together and quickly fired the second, third, fourth and fifth shots. The dosage increased from three cents to four cents, and then he reluctantly stopped shooting and began to wrap the wet cloth to clean the chamber.

"The barrel of the gun is too hot. If you shoot it, it will definitely explode within three shots!" Huang Laowai touched the temperature of the barrel and immediately came to the conclusion.

"It's really too hot, it's red!" Jiao Yu also touched it quickly, then looked at the scalded skin between his fingers and admitted loudly.

"Make another condom and fill it with water to make the barrel heat up a little slower!"

"That's so heavy. It's better for everyone to bring a piece of cotton cloth. When using it, you can wipe the barrel outside to dissipate heat at any time!"

"Nonsense, on the battlefield, where can I find water in a hurry?!"

"The water in the water bag is not good, just pee by yourself. The taste is worse, it is better than killing the barrel!"

The craftsmen gathered together and discussed, working together to try to adjust the first musket to its best condition. The seven or eight months after being hired in the Zuojun General's workshop were the most money, the happiest and the most respected days in their lives. A craftsman received a salary higher than a thousand men and wore armor like the other party. Who dared to think about such a day before? Therefore, everyone would rather sacrifice their lives than to arrest Governor Zhu for so many days!

Zhu Bashiyi did not participate in everyone's discussion, but took Liu Ziyun, Huang Boss, Xu Hongsan and others to the target together. The target made by Yang Mu was completely unrecognizable at this moment. Two bullets were at least one and a half inches deep, and almost, they punched the target together.

"It has exceeded the armor-breaking cone. Even our own plate armor can be beaten and directly injured the person wearing plate armor. Alas, it is the trouble of using it." Based on previous experience in using bows and arrows, Xu Hongsan accurately judged that the power of the mesh gun exceeds that of commonly used bows and arrows. However, it is still unsatisfactory to operate in a complex manner.

"Put thick paper into a barrel, put the gunpowder and the projectiles in advance. Then during the battle, cut the end of the barrel with a knife, pour the gunpowder and the projectiles into it, and then press it through!" At this time, the advantage of the time traveler is reflected. Although Zhu Bashiyi does not know how to build a coercion gun, he knows that the development of the firearm is generally correct. "There is no need for a knife. A special iron piece is nailed above the handle of the gun. A gap is made in the middle. On the one hand, it can be used to aim at the target, and on the other hand, it is used to cut the gunpowder bag. Anyway, the medicine bag is also paper-paste, which is easy to cut and leak!"

"And here!" He squatted on the ground, drew a sketch of the barrel, and then pointed it hard at the top, "Make a iron ring here as a sight. Before firing in the future, you must use this iron ring and the notched iron piece behind to put the person inside, just like a carpenter drawing a line, three points and one line!"

"Governor wise!" Boss Huang shouted, ran back, conveying the latest instructions from the Governor to his father and the craftsmen who were fiddling with muskets.

"Gao Ming, Governor Gao Ming!"

"Of course, the governor is the son of Buddha, the son of Buddha is reincarnated!"

The craftsmen immediately flattered Zhu Bashiyi and directly praised him to the sky.

"What nonsense?" Zhu Bashiyi said with a red face and drunk as if he had drunk two pounds of wine: "Is the barrel cold? Keep trying after it gets cold. Don't be idle either. Hurry up and shoot out a few more barrels as you were just now. Then follow the process just now, test a few more rounds. Keep moving the target away. Within three days, you must try the maximum charge, the maximum range and the maximum number of uses. After getting the results, I ask all of you to go to Linfeng Tower, and the wine and food supply are enough!"
