Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 784 No more, no less

"Not perfect? ​​Where did Liu Qing say that?"

Zhu Cihong is just like his father, he never pretends to understand anything he doesn't understand, especially in front of Liu Hongjian, the two of them have almost the same tone.

Liu Hongjian was speechless. He had always thought that he was a successful shopkeeper, but now he suddenly realized that he was wrong.

He is not, Uncle Chongzhen is, and Zhu Cihong is.

In the past few years, where has Liu Hongjian been running around, fighting wars and fighting fires?And look at the Zhu family father and son, they just wandered around in the palace honestly, and what's more, Xiao Zhu lived a life of breeding dragons, who can I ask for reasoning?
"Your Majesty, what the prince means is that he wants to add a scope to this gun and make the bullets into magazines." Song Yingxing, who had been waiting at the side to listen to the two murmurs, took the words.

A magazine is not a magazine. In fact, with the current industrial level of Ming Dynasty, there is no way to realize the magazine pressing technology in a short time.

Mercury fulminate is too sensitive as a primer. When the magazine is pressed into the bullet, the tip of the magazine is very easy to touch the primer end of the pressed bullet, resulting in an accident.

But the magazine is different. To put it bluntly, the magazine is similar to the 98k in a chicken eating game in later generations. The bullets are fixed together with metal clips, and they are made of five bullets in a row, or six in two rows.

The structure of the clip is simple, and it is easy to make. It is only a loading aid, while the magazine is a feeding device, and its structure is much more complicated.

It's just that the gun body will inevitably have to be modified accordingly, and the Ordnance Institute is still developing it.

As for the scope, it is also very necessary. The effective range of the breech-loading rifle has reached a terrifying 450 steps after testing, which is 150 steps farther than the second-generation front-loading rifle.

This is due to the airtightness of the barrel, as well as the shape and material of the bullet. The copper shell of the primer bullet is integrated with the bullet, so the airtightness is naturally much better than that of the front-loading lead bullet.

But even if the effective range of the musket has reached 450 steps, it is foolish to want to hit a target more than 400 steps away by feeling.

Unless they are well-trained sharpshooters, such as Yang Tianbao in Liu Hongjian's personal guard camp and a few good players, but the guns in their hands are not the newly developed Mauser rifles.

Oh no, it should be called Hengyi-style and Zhongliang-style rifles. What they have in their hands is the famous AK in later generations, or the final version of AKM automatic rifle, both in terms of stability and accuracy.

With the addition of a scope, it is different. At least it is still possible to hit a target that is one or two hundred paces away.

After the glass was successfully developed in the first two years, Liu Hongjian first thought of developing telescopes and scopes, and the initial scopes have now been assembled to the AKM team.

It's just that Liu Hongjian is still not satisfied with the accuracy of this scope. At present, the person in charge of developing a new generation of scope at the Ordnance Institute is the younger Sun Yunqiu. With admiration.

Not only does he have an amazing talent in mechanics, but he also shows great potential in optical instruments. He already has the title of baron on his weak crown, and Song Yingxing is worried that the reward will be too much and this kid will get bad habits. Liu Hongjian greeted him.

"I want to do it in one step. After the research of the scope and magazine is mature and the assembly is completed, I will consider the issue of mass production." Liu Hongjian sighed.

Blind mass production of an immature weapon is a great waste of manpower and material resources, and it is also irresponsible to the soldiers of the army.

Which kind of firearms in the future generations wants to be equipped with the entire army, it is not possible to achieve it after countless repeated tests over the years. Although the power of Ming's muskets today cannot be said to be the best in the world, it is not at all inferior to the Europas. There is no need In a hurry.

"It's because I'm too impatient. Let everything follow Liu Qing and Song Qing's arrangements." Zhu Cihong admitted his mistake honestly, which made Song Yingxing deeply surprised.

He thought in his heart that it was no wonder the prince dared to do things so confidently, it turned out that he had already figured out the emperor.

"Hey! Mr. Song, the development of the howitzer has to be stepped up. Whether Daming can win the war with the Dutch depends entirely on you." Liu Hongjian sighed and said meaningfully.

The successful development of the grenade, that is, the flowering bomb and the primer mercury fulminate, not only accelerated the evolution of the musket, but also had the same milestone significance for the artillery.

Front-loaded smoothbore guns correspond to front-loaded smoothbore guns, but front-loaded rifled guns cannot correspond to front-loaded rifled guns, because the shells are too big, and it is not possible to poke the shells along the rifling line with an iron rod go in.

But the breech loading is different. After the primer is successfully developed, the breech-loading artillery is almost ready to come out. If the breech-loading gun with rifling can be produced in one step, it will be like a tiger with wings added.

Of course, the technical problems were all on Song Yingxing. Liu Hongjian himself didn't understand anything, and Liu Hongjian was similar to Uncle and Xiao Zhu in this point, and he would never order things he didn't understand.

However, putting all the heavy burdens on Song Yingxing's shoulders alone made Liu Hongjian feel a little guilty. Song Yingxing worked day and night for various researches at the Ordnance Institute, and now he is already emaciated.

"Don't worry, my lord, the old man is sure to make the howitzer you mentioned within half a year, ahem—" Song Yingxing coughed as it was cold outside.

"Old Song, you have to pay attention to your health! Forget it, I have told you no less than eight times, and you never listened.

How about this, from tomorrow onwards, the king will send someone here. "Liu Hongjian also has nothing to do with Uncle Song.

In general, scientific research workers are like this. Even if they have superior material conditions, these great scientists always prefer to stay in the laboratory, and carelessly care about the material enjoyment of the colorful world.

If he remembered correctly, Uncle Song lived to be 79 years old after he was idle at home, but now he is only 61 years old and his hair is already graying. He is really worried that Uncle Song will have an accident.

"Send someone? Who should you send?" Song Yingxing was a little confused.

"This king is going to send two people to watch over you Song Lao." Liu Hongjian said helplessly.

"Watch me? What are you doing watching me? Is the prince worried that the old man will spread the secrets of the armory?" Song Yingxing said angrily.

"Hahaha, Song Qing is worrying too much. I think Liu Qing wants to force you to rest." Zhu Cihong didn't know what Liu Hongjian was thinking.

In fact, this is also an important reason why Zhu Cihong trusted Liu Hongjian so much. He always kept in mind what Chongzhen said to him before his death—you should trust and be close to him before he can use and comfort him.

"Yes! The king sent two people to watch over you, Mr. Song. In the morning, you must exercise, in the daytime, you must eat on time, and in the evening, you must leave the laboratory for get off work at You hour.

Elder Song, you know that this king has no other intentions, your body is not yours, it belongs to the people of Ming Dynasty all over the world, you should take care of your body. "

Seeing that Uncle Song wanted to lose his temper, Liu Hongjian raised his voice and said the second half of the sentence.

Song Yingxing immediately lost his temper when he heard the words, and at the same time was a little moved. Neither of his two sons cared about him so much.

"Old man, I remember." Song Yingxing stroked his gray beard and said.

Zhu Cihong suddenly envied Liu Hongjian a little bit. In the deep palace walls, except for his mother and younger sister, he didn't feel much warmth. Even among the concubines in the harem, there was more intrigue than harmony.

He also longs to have friends, to have a lot of good buddies who speak the truth and take care of each other with sincerity, but...it's too difficult for me, Zhu Cihong sighed slightly in his heart.

Even if he wanted to chat with courtiers and eunuchs in the palace as a friend, those people would always become submissive, and friends were a luxury for the emperor.

And he has one, no more and no less.

"Liu Qing, where are we going next?" Zhu Cihong asked Liu Hongjian on the way back.

Zhaoren in the carriage kept ignoring the two of them, and she threw the white conch into a corner of the carriage.

She felt that she had been cheated, seeing how happy the two of them were talking and laughing when they came back, they must have gone to play, or secretly ate good food, but left her in the yard to play with ants.

"Then let's go to the minister's house and have a light meal!" Liu Hongjian was clear in his mind, since this boy asked where he was going, he must have been full of meaning and hadn't wandered around enough.

PS: There is a new wave of violence, it is the last day of September. I wish you a happy National Day holiday and a happy 70th birthday for the great motherland. I also pay tribute to the hard-working scientific researchers and hope that they can also take care of themselves. Body.

If time permits tomorrow, there will still be more updates. Recently, I am really ashamed of the big guys. It can be regarded as compensation, and I don’t ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, or tips (funny).

　Thanks to the dean of the book friend Feixiang, Zhan Yu Zhongling for the 100 taels.
