Great Tang princess

At the end of June, in the military test site at the foot of Mang Mountain, gunshots of "bang bang" kept ringing out.

After a series of gunshots, Li Yuechen put down the two improved versions of the shotgun in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

"Very well, it seems that the troops can be equipped for actual combat."

While speaking, he also looked at the other guns placed next to him.

After two days of experimentation, the performance of the first batch of twelve shotguns is stable, so we can consider selecting a group of excellent soldiers to equip them.

During this period of time, Wang Gangdan has also put a lot of effort into bullets, launching two types of bullets.

The first type is named No. A Bullet. There are fifteen steel balls in one bullet. The diameter is slightly larger, and the range is far enough. Even thirty feet away, it still has a certain lethality.

But considering the target of the armor, the effective lethality can only be guaranteed within fifteen feet.

The other type is the No. B bomb. The diameter of the steel balls is extremely small, but the number far exceeds that of the No. A bomb. The scattering area is larger, and it can cause extremely terrifying lethality at close range.

Hit a sheep at a distance of ten feet, and the whole body will be full of holes with one shot.

Shangguan Wan'er also took advantage of this time to pour a cup of tea and handed it over: "A few days ago, His Highness kept talking about launching things, so it must be a long-range weapon like a bow and arrow?"

When the time comes to equip the soldiers, they will also be equipped with a few more firing pins so that they can be replaced at any time.

Therefore, the life of the firing pin is very short, and it will be abolished after about a hundred bullets are fired.

"Aniang, the muzzle!" Li Yuechen quickly pushed her hand up while reminding her.

After flying upside down in the air for a distance of more than a foot, it fell to the ground in a mist of blood.

Finally, a new weapon came out, how can I not let my mother try it?

It feels a little heavy in the hand, but it's not too heavy, and it can be moved with one hand.

"Next, I will actually demonstrate the power of this musket!"

But Li Xian couldn't wait any longer, and now he was reading memorials and writing comments in Jixian Temple every day, and felt his head was getting bigger.

Li Yuechen smiled lightly: "If you are facing a cavalry charge, no matter if you are lightly or heavily armored, within ten feet, both men and horses will be destroyed!"

Anyway, if there is a problem, it must be a problem in the cabinet.

It's just that now because he wants to teach Li Xian the way of governing the country, he is forced to read a lot of memorials every day, and it doesn't matter if he takes a break once in a while.

……

Geng Yunqiang took a deep breath: "Your Highness, this... is so powerful?"

I don't know if it's because of the recent overuse of the brain, but Li Yuechen feels that the third brother seems to be somewhat thinner.

Li Xian looked up and down: "I didn't see the bowstring... how to launch it?"

"Well, let's stop here for this batch." Li Yuechen nodded.

"Everyone remember one thing! Regardless of whether there are bullets in the gun, the muzzle must never be aimed at one of our own!" Li Yuechen's tone was very serious, "If anyone in the army violates the law, they will be dealt with according to military law!"

So under the organization of Li Yuechen, the next morning, all the emperor's family came to the military area to start the first shooting experience in their lives.

He smiled and asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Li Xian raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had heard it wrong. There were two iron pipes inserted side by side in a strangely shaped piece of wood... What does it have to do with the truth?
Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the boss chair, raised his eyebrows: "Don't be kidding, what kind of novelty is it?"

But the gun is different. Whether it is a shotgun or a future automatic rifle, one shot will basically lie down. Even if it misses the point, it is unlikely to continue fighting.

And not far ahead, two sheep have already been brought over and tied there.

Using the brain itself has the effect of losing weight. Scientists, professional chess players and many other jobs are sedentary, but fat people rarely appear.

What she really wants to do is a single-barreled shotgun that can be loaded with eight bullets at a time, and that is a real full-fledged weapon.

"what?"

Li Yuechen came to the table, picked up one of the guns, closed it with a "click", and said loudly: "This thing is called a musket, and it is the latest research result of me and the Academy of Engineering. It is a long-range weapon that will replace bows and crossbows in the future. .”

Not to mention, this grip is quite comfortable to hold.

Although I don't know what the shooting refers to, but to Li Xian, as long as he doesn't work, it's a good thing.

Li Yuechen shook his head and smiled: "I chose this one out of helplessness. Now that there are better ones, it is naturally better."

Pei Pishu, who was on the side, was taken aback: "Didn't your Highness say that you want to equip the army? Why do you stop here?"

On the table in front of him, there were eleven shotguns laid out in the middle, and there were a lot of bullets.

Thanks to Li Yuechen supporting her, she didn't fall down.

Judging from the results of the on-site test, Li Yuechen really wasn't lying, this power could indeed directly smash people into pieces.

Wu Zetian said that it doesn't matter. Anyway, the government is not busy now, so it doesn't matter when I go to see it.

Originally, Li Yuechen did not expect to equip this kind of double-barreled shotgun on a large scale in the army. After all, it can only fire two rounds, and the error tolerance rate is too low.

The government affairs of the country are all handled by the cabinet. The emperor can take care of it at any time, but he can also ignore it completely.

Of course, this thing must not be played around in the palace, so although Li Yuechen entered the palace with a gun, it was an empty gun with no bullets.

Today's imperial court has become very different from before. If the emperor is willing, he can actually let it go.

Then Li Yuechen put one hand behind her shoulder to prevent her from being knocked down by the recoil, and at the same time beckoned to the soldiers beside him: "Get ready...let it go!"

The inner guards at the back firmly recorded the appearance of this thing, and it is absolutely not allowed to be brought into the palace in the future!

With a "bang", the first Frisbee shattered.

After lying down for decades, my brain has degenerated a lot, and now I suddenly deal with a lot of mental work every day, so I don’t want to do anything after I go back every day, I just want to lie down and sleep.

But this musket is different. This is individual equipment. If one has it, how terrible will it be?

Seeing her satisfied smile, Wang Gangdan couldn't help feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows, reached out and grabbed the handle to pick it up, and observed it carefully.

The bullet can't make a primer, so the firing pin will penetrate the inside of the shell during the firing process, sealing the bottom hole while igniting.

Li Dan and the two elder sisters were quite puzzled. They had played with grenades and cannons before. I feel that this new weapon should be more interesting now, right?
Only Li Xian frowned. He knew about the recent research and development of new weapons, but he didn't expect to make a finished product so quickly.

Besides, going to the military area is different from other places. You don't have to worry about being seen by outsiders, and you can play with confidence.

Hearing such an answer, the officers were even more surprised.

At the same time, I thought in my heart that the inner guards should also be pulled out for a training session to let them know what kind of concept this new weapon is.

The two elder sisters, Xuancheng and Yiyang, covered their mouths together, which was really surprising.

Spring is one of them.

The bodies of the two sheep were basically smashed to pieces, but dense holes could be vaguely seen around them, which looked extremely terrifying.

Don't let someone secretly bring a gun into the palace. If you don't know it, ask what it is, answer the fire stick, and then really bring it in.

"Divine Soldier?"

"This is a weapon." Li Yuechen put it on his mother's table with a smile, "And it's a magic weapon!"

There are also prepared ceramic frisbees and launchers on both sides of the venue. Today, at least the high-level military and the royal family can try it out.

Handed her a gun, taught her how to load it, and closed it.

But for Li Xian himself, if there is a chance to go out to play, it is better to fight for it.

Two soldiers launched the frisbee into the sky with bows and crossbows one after the other, Wu Zetian saw the timing and pulled the trigger.

In order to solve this problem, Wang Gangdan led his apprentices and children to make the firing pin detachable.

After all, if a bow and arrow hits a person, as long as it hits a vital point, it still basically has the ability to fight.

"Aniang, are you interested in going to the barracks tomorrow and having fun?" Li Yuechen leaned over and asked.

Then he picked up a bullet: "This thing is called a bullet, and it is fired through the muzzle of the gun, causing damage to the enemy! Its power is huge, far exceeding that of an arrow."

In addition to the emperor's family, Geng Yunqiang and other high-level troops were also present, including all the royal guards.

Seeing the blood slowly smearing away, everyone present was shocked, including the emperor Wu Zetian, who opened their eyes wide.

"Truth!" Li Yuechen replied with a smile.

"It's okay, A Niang can call other things." Li Yuechen smiled, and then brought her in front of her.

Fortunately, the structure of the single-tube spray gun is not particularly difficult. After looking at it, Wang Gangdan said that the first sample gun should be able to be produced in a few months.

Making a spring is not too difficult at the current industrial level, and of course it is not particularly simple. Some of these steps cannot be completed by machines, but can only be done manually.

"En!" Wu Zetian nodded to show that he understood.

However, what is surprising is that with two gunshots, the two sheep in front flew out directly.

Li Yuechen asked her to hold the gun, and said from the side: "Mother, I will let them throw the frisbee into the sky in a while, and just hit it with the frisbee."

At this time, it was too late to pull the trigger again. After the gunshot, the Frisbee was not hit.

Compared with the double-pipe spray, what the single-pipe spray needs to solve is the problem of the magazine and the ejection.

Of course, this gun still has a lot of shortcomings compared to future shotguns.

After putting down the gun, she beckoned, and everyone recovered from their astonishment, and walked forward to check the two dead sheep.

Li Yuechen didn't put any pressure on him, told him to take his time, don't worry, he went into the palace first with the gun in his hand.

Arriving at Jixian Temple, Li Yuechen entered the hall carrying a shotgun.

After finishing the experiment, Li Yuechen chatted with them about the single-pipe spraying problem in the Engineering Academy.

To put it simply, as long as there is nothing to break the sky, the emperor can completely ignore any government affairs.

Seeing this scene, many people felt their scalps go numb. This weapon is really terrifying.

However, she herself was taken aback by the recoil, and she subconsciously fell backwards.

Then she waved it lightly twice, and frowned: "It is said to be a magic weapon, but there is no edge, so could it be a blunt weapon?"

To be honest, the gunshot was not too loud. Everyone present had seen grenades and artillery with their own eyes, and the sound was much louder than this.

After finishing speaking, Li Yuechen opened the barrel of the gun, put two bullets in it, then closed it with a "click", and pointed the muzzle at the two sheep in front.

It is because too much mental work consumes a lot of calories.

Although the bullet has no primer, at least it can guarantee that the gun can be used in rainy and snowy weather, which is much better than the original matchlock gun in history.

And several brothers should like it, right?After all, among the three major toys for men: guns, cars, and balls, guns rank first.

As soon as she came in, Li Xian stared at the shotgun in her hand curiously: "What is this?"

At a distance of ten feet, only two shots of "bang bang" were heard. With the flash of the muzzle of the gun, the sound of the gunshots also reached the ears of everyone around.

Anyway, during this period of time, the ceramic frisbee and crossbow modified launchers have also been done, so that my mother can try the joy of playing frisbee.

Then Wu Zetian turned around: "This thing is..."

Li Yuechen slapped the barrel down, and two bullet casings that were blackened and still emitting green smoke flew out.

Wu Zetian nodded: "Well, it's good to try. But sheep are unnecessary, and it's not cheap..."

After all, this thing is different from arrows. Although bows and arrows are fired very fast, some people with better dynamic vision can still see their flight trajectory.

Although the artillery seems to be more powerful, you must know that the artillery is not something that can be controlled by one person, and it is not convenient to move.

So many people gathered in the test field, forming a half circle in darkness.

After seeing the actual power of the musket, Li Yuechen asked, "Amiang, are you interested in trying it?"

But at today's level, this should be solvable, at most it's a little troublesome.

It sounds a little troublesome, but in this era, it is not easy to do this.

What's more, I didn't bring my wife with me when I came out today, and I was surrounded by my own people, so I didn't have to worry about other problems.

Because the current machine tools are too simple, they can only be regarded as the first generation of machine tools, which can only assist some relatively tedious tasks, and those with a little technical content still have to rely on manual work.

The main purpose of calling so many people over is to educate them about the concept of firearms and prevent future problems.

But this musket is different. You can't see the trajectory of the bullet at all. You just feel that the two sheep have already flown out at the same time as the sound of the gunshot.

At the same time she turned around, the group of people behind also squatted down subconsciously.

Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it all over..."

"Aniang, no matter whether there are bullets or not, the muzzle of the gun cannot be aimed at anyone at will." Li Yuechen asked her to raise the muzzle of the gun while talking, "Do you still want to try?"

Wu Zetian shook his head lightly: "This musket hurts my shoulders, I'll just watch it from the sidelines."

Hearing what the emperor said, Li Xian on the side couldn't wait: "Yuechen, come and try for me!"
