Datang: God-level Choice

Qin Huaidao nodded with satisfaction

The craftsmen were overjoyed immediately, one hundred pieces is a huge amount of wealth, especially if the money was personally rewarded by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the significance is even more significant.

Under the reward, the craftsmen are full of energy, and their brains are more and more enlightened.

After the rifling is qualified, the next step is how to roll up the steel sheet and ensure the strength of the rolled steel pipe

This step is more difficult than the barrel punched out by the machine as a whole, but before the steam-powered lathe is manufactured, it can only be done in this way.

Qin Huaidao left the laboratory to the craftsmen and continued to inspect other workshops

In the scientific research institute, the process of assembly line production has been implemented for a long time, which can not only improve efficiency, but also enhance confidentiality. The craftsmen in each link only master one of the processes, and only Qin Huaidao and several vice presidents are familiar with it. the whole process

The principle of the flintlock gun is actually that when the trigger is pulled, under the action of the spring, the flint is hit hard on the edge of the fire door, sparks emerge to ignite the gunpowder, and the gunpowder burns to shoot out the projectile.

To ensure the power of the flintlock gun, there are several main points

The first point is to do a good job of airtightness, that is, the projectile must fit the gunpowder well, so that the gas burned by the gunpowder will not leak out, which can ensure that most of the energy is used to push the projectile.

The second point is that the shape of the projectile must conform to aerodynamics. The spherical shape is definitely not acceptable. It must be changed to a pointed long projectile, which not only has a longer range, but also has greater power.

Compared with round bullets, one of the advantages of pointed and long bullets is that they have greater mass and more energy retention, and the flat bottom can open a notch to wrap a part of the gunpowder. Thermal expansion, tightly fit the barrel and rotate around the rifling to achieve maximum range and power

Moreover, the caliber of the pointed long bullet can be slightly smaller than that of the barrel, it is easier to reload, and the rate of fire is faster.

With the above advantages, while ensuring the power and range, Mini made the caliber smaller, and the barrel does not need to be so long, thereby reducing the weight of the entire gun and reducing the load of the infantry, thereby achieving a stronger gun. mobility

It's just that the craftsmen of the scientific research institute discovered new problems after trial-producing a batch of projectiles and reported them.

"Lord, please see, according to the drawings, there are two ways for this projectile, one is lead plus cork, and the other is all lead cast, no matter which one, due to the material, it is not difficult to process, but once It is easy to deform when subjected to external force”

Zhou Xin embarrassedly picked up a box that had been processed, and threw it on the ground with a cardboard case and a wooden box.

"On the battlefield, the transportation situation is much more complicated than this, and bumps are inevitable. Long-distance transportation from the rear is really not suitable."

"In that case, it's not difficult to process the lead bullet anyway. You make more iron molds, and then let the artisans in the army or the soldiers cast them when they are free."

Qin Huaidao thought for a while.

In terms of simplicity, pure lead bullets are the most cost-effective. Anyway, there is no shortage of lead ore in Datang. Basically, every state and county has a little bit of lead. In order to popularize movable type printing, it was already mined in large quantities, and it can be added everywhere.

And the lead bullet does not need to be kept secret, even if it is handed to the artisans and ordinary soldiers in the army, there is no risk of leakage, and the production is very simple. Basically, the lead block is heated a little to become softer, and then iron Just make the mold and press it. Anyone can make dozens or hundreds of rounds in an hour. Plus the time to install the carton, it doesn't take much time.

Miniguns are not the machine guns of later generations. One hundred rounds of ammunition are enough for one day and two major battles.

Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, it was actually very comfortable to work under Qin Huaidao, as long as he worked hard, the rest of the problems, with the boss who was incompetent and sympathetic to his subordinates, was not a problem.

After getting the barrel, ammunition, and other parts of the firearm, it is much simpler to manufacture

Flint, commonly known as flint in the Tang Dynasty, is a must for every household to start a fire, and there is no difficulty in making it.

The rest of the goggles, straps, front sights and rear sights are not difficult to manufacture, just find the right wood, and process and produce them according to the drawings.

Nowadays, it is not the descendant of indiscriminate logging. Around Chang'an City, there are many, high-quality timber, and Qin Huaidao has also issued special vegetation protection regulations. It must also be replanted to ensure recycling

Because it is an experimental gun, the craftsmen used all the best wood extravagantly, and still carved exquisite patterns on it, so Qin Huaidao couldn't help but feel the love of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no problem with gunpowder here. In order to ensure the power of the artillery, the craftsmen of the scientific research institute have never stopped improving the gunpowder. They have already changed from the earliest black powder to granular willow powder, which can be used directly.

"In general, your performance is very good. I will go back first. After three days, I will bring Your Majesty and the ministers of Chinese and military affairs to test your achievements. Just don't screw it up."

Qin Huaidao took another look around to make sure there was no problem with the progress, then smiled slightly.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, it is guaranteed to be completed within three days!"

Zhou Xin nodded confidently and said, Qin Huaidao has already solved the most difficult aspects. If they can't figure it out, then I'm really sorry Qin Huaidao has been taking care of them.

Chapter Five Hundred and Two: The New Invention of His Royal Highness King Qin Comes Out

! (Second update! Ask for full order!)

Three days later, above the shooting range of the Academy of Military Sciences

"This is what my son-in-law said about the artifact. This pattern is beautiful and tight!"

Li Er repeatedly played with the fire gun in his hand, with a curious expression on his face.

"Yes, the bayonet hanging below is not bad. There is a blood groove on it. If you hit it with a knife, it will definitely be half-crippled if you don't die!"

Cheng Yaojing also came over curiously and commented with the demeanor of a famous swordsman.

"It's just that if you open this knife, it will be taller than the average person. I'm afraid it won't be easy to chop!"

Li Er opened the bayonet, waved it tentatively a few times, and then shook his head.

"The main purpose of this thing is not to fight with a knife. The bayonet is just an insurance when you are close. If you use it well, your opponent will basically not be able to get in front of you."

Qin Huaidao suppressed the smile in his heart and explained it to a group of leopards

"Three Zeros"

After several trial productions, the fire gun named Xiaowu Gun by Qin Huaidao was finally finalized.

Caliber is about 12

mm, barrel length 1
