Laughing proudly, I'm crazy for the leader

Doesn't value martial arts, as long as one's background is clean and loyal to God's religion?

Reminiscent of the fire house built by Brother Sheng, Dongfang Bubai quickly guessed Dongfang Sheng's meaning, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Sheng, do you want to form a Musketeer team?"

Musket, this thing is not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty. It appeared as early as the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Today's Zhu family has also established several special musket teams. However, although the musket is powerful, it can be reloaded. It is too cumbersome to use, and it is expensive to make. In the face of people in the Jianghu, you can shoot at most one shot, and it is still a problem whether you can hit or not. It is too fancy and has little meaning in actual combat.

The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, with superb martial arts, are just the right way!

Seeing Dongfang Bubai's appearance of persuasion from an elder, and the suspicion in her words, Dongfang Sheng also guessed what she was thinking.

Dongfang Bubai’s doubts, Dongfang Sheng seems to be normal. In ancient times, due to reasons such as the times, muskets were still in their infancy. The range was short, the accuracy was poor, and the power was low. Slow, and the filling method causes a lot of gunpowder debris to stay in the barrel, causing the barrel to explode, and so on. In this case, the musket can certainly achieve some effects when dealing with cold weapons. , the enemy will never give you time to fire a second shot. In two words, it is waste material!

And what makes muskets really stand in the forefront of the times is a tactic, the platoon tactic.

Divide the team into three to four rows, and stand back and forth. After the first row finishes shooting, quickly retreat to the back of the fourth row to reload, the second row to shoot, then retreat to the back of the first row to reload, and so on.

The emergence of the volley gun has covered up the serious shortcoming of the musket, which is the real power of the musket.Let the musket enter the big stage of the times.In history, the volleyball tactics appeared around 1700, and there are still 200 years from now.

Even though Dongfang Bubai is the leader of a sect with a long-term vision, but this kind of thing is too out of date, she can't understand it for a while.Very normal.

"good"

The reason, if explained to her, Dongfang Bubai would find it difficult to digest or even understand for a while, so Dongfang Sheng didn't explain it, but just said: "When the new musket comes out, you will understand gone."

"A new musket?"

Seeing Brother Sheng's confident look, she didn't ask any more questions.With the background of the Sun Moon God Sect, the [-] Musketeers are nothing.

……

There are more than 100 orphans over the age of 15. This matter was carried out by Tong Che at the same time as early as when the firearms craftsman was hired, and they were placed in a village at the foot of the mountain.

The 150 quotas requested from Dongfang Bubai were delivered early the next morning, a thick book filled with identity information and credits and faults records, similar to the information manuals of later generations.In this way, Dongfang Sheng was saved a lot of trouble.

Although he asked Dongfang Bubai for 150.But in this booklet, there are more than 400 people in it for selection by Dongfang Sheng.

The musket is a new type of weapon, and it does not require the user to have superb martial arts skills, in terms of selection.Dongfang Sheng tried his best to select some young congregants who were under [-]. The younger ones are not very strong in martial arts, but the ability to learn new things is better than the older ones.It's also easy to train.

Dongfang Sheng selected half of the people from the congregation, mainly to brand the musketeers with the brand of the god religion. If they were all orphans adopted from outside, I am afraid that the sense of belonging to the god religion would be much worse.

After the 300 people were selected, Dongfang Sheng asked Dongfang Bubai for another piece of land, but it was not on Heimuya, but a place called Gaoshanpo ten miles away from Heimuya. Dongfangsheng encircled a piece of land here. The land is listed as a military restricted area, and the surrounding areas are all surrounded by railings.

At present, the guns have not been really developed, and it is temporarily impossible to use guns for this group of people, let alone the situation of guns and others. Therefore, Dongfang Sheng asked the carpenter to make more than 300 wooden guns for temporary training.

As for the training, Dongfang Sheng plagiarized some military TV programs he had watched in later generations, plagiarized some training in the barracks, and first exercised the physical strength and perseverance of this group of people.

Dongfang Sheng gave this training camp a very nice name, Sun Moon Preparation Camp.Dongfang Sheng is the chief instructor, Tong Che is the deputy instructor, and Dongfang Bubai is the political instructor.

Dongfang Bubai was not very interested in this Sun and Moon preparation camp, especially after seeing Dongfang Sheng listed the training courses for them, she shook her head and left. Brother Sheng's training method is very novel, which made her eyes shine. From a basic point of view, this method is very good, and it can make people a good seedling, but if it is used to walk the world, it is really impossible without a martial arts.

In contrast, she cared more about the new weapons that Brother Sheng mentioned.

In the past two days, Dongfang Bubai visited the firehouse frequently, and also got the gun concept designed by Dongfang Sheng from the firehouse craftsmen. After knowing that this new type of firearm can be reloaded quickly and has a longer range, he began to pay attention. If it's what Brother Sheng said, it's really a good toy.

Toy?

That's right, this bullet was not as fast as the embroidery needle in her hand, and it came so violently that people couldn't guard against it.

As for the training of the Sun Moon God Sect's preparation camp, Dongfang Sheng didn't have enough time and energy to do it himself. Instead, he handed over the matter to Tong Che, and let Tong Che take full responsibility. It was just a simple training. Not a problem.

Dongfang Sheng often went to the fire room to discuss the design of this new musket with many craftsmen.Dongfang Sheng didn't know the design drawings of modern thermal weapons, but he could still guess the principle and provide the craftsmen with a general idea and direction.

This group of craftsmen was originally one of the best firearms craftsmen in the state capital, and they had a lot of experience in firearms.

In modern weapons, the firing pin hits the primer of the bullet, causing the gunpowder in the bullet to explode. The force of the explosion pushes out the bullet head and passes through the rifling of the barrel, causing the bullet to be fired at a high speed of rotation.

But now in the Ming Dynasty, there is no concept of solid bullets, nor the concept of rifled guns. The bullet design brought by Dongfang Sheng instantly opened the brains of these craftsmen and understood the benefits of this thing. The primer has been designed. It came out, and the bullet casing, this is easy to handle, only troublesome old Wu, using the method of making the barrel, such as square concoction, relatively speaking, the eggshell does not need to draw the rifling line, but it is simpler, and the material is copper, which is better than the steel pipe. Fortunately, a little production.

As for the bullets, with the current technology, we don’t need to be so particular about them for the time being, and they are all solid. Although this will affect the range, this range is more than the range of modern guns. In the Ming Dynasty, it was enough.

Three days later, a bright yellow bullet lay in Dongfang Sheng's hand. While playing with it, he accidentally dropped it on the ground. The strong impact caused the primer of the bullet to explode, triggering the gunpowder in the bullet and pushing the warhead. It scared everyone into a cold sweat, but fortunately, the location where the bullet popped out was in the direction of no one, and no casualties were caused.

Dongfang Sheng picked up the empty eggshell and the solid bullet from the ground.

Although it was exploded, the eggshell still maintained its original shape and outline without any deformation, which made Dongfang Sheng very satisfied, but when he looked at the primer again, Dongfang Sheng only had two words in his mind.

drop cannon...

This is not possible, the sensitivity of the drastic change of the primer is too strong, so the problem is thrown to these craftsmen again.

Another issue that Dongfang Sheng is very concerned about is the output.

In the current state of the fire room, it is impossible to mass-produce guns, and the same is true for bullets. Guns are easy to talk about, but what about the consumption of bullets?Once it starts to fight, this is an astronomical figure. The current fire room, to use a sentence from later generations, is a small weapon workshop that cannot be smaller. Very good.

As for the bullets, although they are better, they are not going there anytime soon.

Fortunately, there are only 300 people for consumption at present. Dongfang Shengde has found a way to increase the production speed of gun barrels. Otherwise, at this speed, one gun a day, wouldn't it take a year for [-] guns?

It took another three days, and the ratio of the primer to drop the cannon was improved, and finally it was no longer so sensitive. Ordinary throws would still not cause an explosion inside, but I don’t know what the effect will be after shooting?

The bullet is done, what about the body of the gun?

The original gun bodies were all matchlock gun bodies, which could not be used for bullets at all. Dongfang Sheng thought of the toy pistols of later generations.

Push, strike, eject.

I don’t know how many toy guns I played with when I was a child. The structure inside is very clear. However, toy pistols are not as good as real guns, and there is no such thing as ejection.

Don't look at this small difference, the effect produced here is very different, and it is an important step for whether you can really shoot.

This problem gave Dongfang Sheng a headache, but when he saw a wooden stick spinning in the shed, he immediately thought of something, gears!

There are strips of teeth on the gear, but if the teeth of these gears are reversed into the gun body, what happens if the eggshell is stuck?Using the friction of the teeth, the cartridge case can be pulled out from the barrel to complete the ejection.

The problem of shell extraction was solved, and another new problem came before us, that is, the fixing of the gun body. If all iron and steel were used, the current level could not produce such fine screws. This problem, craftsmen Help Dongfang Sheng solve it, they are made of guns, why should they all use steel?Wood can be used!

The core parts are made of steel, and the outer shell is fixed and waited until it is made of solid wood.

Two days later, the gun body was finished.

This final result was also sent to Dongfang Sheng. (To be continued..)
