Chapter 1741 Give me 98K
"Guns can be divided into shotguns, submachine guns, pistols, sniper rifles
No matter how many people there are, don’t panic if you pick up a few trolls as soon as you land
Fully automatic, remember to press the gun and it accidentally floats into the sky
Even if you encounter 98k without a high-magnification lens, don’t grab it..."
Familiar music and familiar images seemed to come to you in an instant and fill your mind.
Looking at a soldier standing in front of him on the shooting range in the courtyard, Fang Jun was in a daze for a moment. If the soldier hadn't been wearing plate armor and his whole head was covered in a helmet made of iron plate, he would have almost thought that he was going back. In modern times, the era of staying up late to eat chicken...
"Master Hou, a new gun has just been made and is being tested, but the effect is not very good."
Liu Shi had already walked out of the row of rooms on the left that looked like rented rooms. He brought a few craftsmen up to see them, looking a little uneasy.
From the day the Foundry Bureau was established, Liu Shi was told by Fang Jun that this Gun Bureau was the core of the Foundry Bureau. Everything in the Foundry Bureau must serve the Gun Bureau. The mission of the Foundry Bureau was to develop and manufacture guns. Everything you need for a gun game.
The core of the Gun Bureau is very simple, there are only two things, guns and cannons...
He has already seen the power of artillery. When a cannon is fired, the flames shoot up to the sky and the earth shakes the mountains. The huge lead shot is fired by the gunpowder and carries huge kinetic energy. It can make a wall of Nuoda collapse in an instant. If it falls among the crowd, You will die if you touch it, you will die if you touch it, and your flesh and blood will fly everywhere to harvest lives. It is simply the most brutal weapon of war in history!
Although Liu Shi had never seen the true power of muskets, which were valued as much as artillery by Fang Jun, he was very excited when he heard Fang Junzhi's description of how they could penetrate a large iron armor shield from a hundred steps away. In the past six months, he had almost eaten Living in the Gun Bureau, he urged craftsmen to design and build muskets according to Fang Jun's design drawings, but they have never been able to demonstrate the powerful power described by Fang Jun...
Fang Jun stepped forward and took the musket from the soldier who was testing the gun. He gently brushed his fingers on the wooden butt and sighed.
The evolutionary history of rifles is complicated. Each country and each period has completely different concepts and routes, resulting in various shapes of guns. Even the original matchlocks varied in shape.
The appearance is always evolving, Fang Jun simply moved out the 98k that he is most familiar with. After all, this is a generation of magic gun...
Historically, the 98k used a rotating rear-pull bolt, with a safety device at the rear of the bolt. The bullets are arranged in a double-row staggered built-in magazine, and a 5-round magazine is used to load the bullets. The bullets are pressed into the magazine through the top of the receiver, and can also be loaded with a single shot. The downward-curved charging handle is convenient for carrying and installing the sight. It adopts a curved rear sight, a "V"-shaped notched rear sight, an inverted "V"-shaped front sight, and the front sight has a round guard.
Nowadays, muskets have never appeared in the world, and even gunpowder is only the only one in the world. It is impossible to make a back-pull bolt. Even if it can be made, what will happen to the bullets?
Just the shells and primers would cost Fang Jun his life and it would be impossible to get them all in one step...
The matchlock gun was too outdated, so Fang Jun directly adopted the design of a flintlock gun, making the development of muskets span hundreds of years.
There is basically no difficulty in designing and manufacturing a flintlock gun. Abandoning the match rope, just use the flint on the hammer to strike to generate sparks to ignite the gunpowder. It is a very simple one, but it marks that the era of purely mechanical ignition has not yet appeared. Finish. The quality of the barrel is poor, which depends not only on the quality of the steel, but also on the backwardness of the manufacturing level - it is too difficult to make a seamless steel tube out of thin air.
It can only be cast like a gun barrel. A steel shaft is placed in the middle of the mold. After the mold is formed, it is pulled out to form an iron pipe. Then a simple lathe is used to fix the barrel and then cast with high-hardness fine steel. The sharpener is drilled into the barrel with a fixed device with a slide. Shake the wooden handle to rotate the sharpener and push the sharpener to move in a straight line, so that the inner wall of the barrel can be cut as straight and smooth as possible. .
This device could even draw convoluted rifling for future rifled gun barrels...
However, although the quality of the barrel is somewhat poor, it is completely sufficient for now because the power of the gunpowder is not up to standard.
Liu Shi saw Fang Jun raising his gun and aiming it, and said from the side: "The power of gunpowder is still far behind your requirements, Lord Marquis. The lead shot has insufficient kinetic energy when it is fired, and it will be gone after more than ten or twenty feet." The power begins to drop, the barrel is too thin, and the amount of gunpowder cannot be increased like a cannon, otherwise it will explode."
With the artillery pearl in front, he believed that this kind of gun would also have powerful power, but the difficulties encountered during its construction really left him at a loss.
The craftsmen behind Liu Shi also looked guilty.
They are the best craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty. They can use their own hands to beat a piece of gold into a gold foil as thin as a cicada. It can perfectly adhere to the surface of the utensil without falling off after hundreds of years. However, it is really difficult to use this There is nothing you can do with the black pipes...
Recruited by the Foundry Bureau, they already have the title of craftsmen. They are no longer the humble status they used to be. They even have salaries equivalent to seventh- and eighth-grade officials and generous bonuses. If they are unable to produce a musket that satisfies Fang Jun, Not only do I feel guilty, but I am also afraid that the extra things I have gained at the moment will be taken away in the blink of an eye, and the bamboo basket will be empty.
Fang Jun pretended to make a few gestures, and Wen Yan comforted him: "Don't be impatient, let alone lose heart. Whether it's artillery or muskets, there is never the best, only better. This is a task that will be passed down for thousands of years." , we must continue to research and develop, continue to improve, and keep moving forward in the process of exploration. You must know that we are already ahead of the entire world with our current achievements.”
Due to the inertia of his thinking, he feels that the sentence "We lead the world" is enough to make people enthusiastic and passionate. It is the best inspirational word to move forward with high ambitions.
However, in the eyes of these craftsmen on site, this sentence is completely nonsense...
Aren’t we leading the world?
The skills we know how to do, you can't do it even if you ask those barbarians to copy them for a hundred years.
Leading the world is a normal operation. If you fall behind at any time, you should commit suicide collectively...
Fang Jun looked at everyone's expressions without any excitement. He felt that he was probably not good at MLM, and his ability to inspire people was too far behind.
Embarrassed, he threw the musket to the soldiers and asked Liu Shi, "How is the development of that short gun?"
Hearing Fang Jun mention this, Liu Shi finally cheered up and said with a smile: "This is simpler and the progress is much faster." After saying that, he sent two soldiers to run to the warehouse on one side.
After a while, two soldiers ran out carrying a box...
Place it on the ground in front of Fang Jun and open the lid.
Fang Jun stepped forward and took a look, and suddenly frowned at Lao Gao.
It’s so ugly...
In his imagination, even if it couldn't be made like M1911, it would at least look like a firecracker, right?
Why does this thing in front of me look like a mallet...
Behind him, Wei Ying and other soldiers also looked around curiously. Seeing this ugly thing, Wei Ying was startled and said, "Is this an iron mallet?"
Mother!
What about swearing?
Fang Jun turned his head and glared angrily.
Only then did Wei Ying realize that he had said the wrong thing. He shrank his neck with a smile, moved his feet quietly, and hid behind him. Erlang is very scary when he gets angry. It would be fine if he just beats himself up, but if he lets himself go up to test the gun...
I heard that this thing always explodes. I am newly married and have no children yet. I must stay away from such dangers.
Fang Jun turned around, frowned and took out the "gun" from the box. What should I say? This is a musket with the barrel cut short. The long barrel looked good and slender, but now it is cut short, like an iron mallet, which is ugly...
Liu Shi himself probably felt that he was being entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and said awkwardly: "It's not that we don't try our best, it's just that the shapes on your drawings are too complicated, and both casting and polishing are too difficult. It can only be done like this..."
Fang Jun was speechless.
Thinking that the industrial level at this time was basically zero, I had to hold my nose and admit it, and asked: "Have you loaded it?"
Liu Shi said: "Of course not."
Fang Jun felt a little itchy: "Load the bomb, let me try."
Liu Shi quickly learned how to load the gunpowder and lead balls, and said: "More than twenty short guns of this kind were made. Because the barrel is shortened, the power is limited, and there is no need to load too much gunpowder. The bearing capacity of the barrel is greatly increased. The lower official has already The organization has manually tested it hundreds of times, and the chamber has not exploded once. The safety is very good." (End of this chapter)
