Chapter 55 South Japan Type 1 Flint Rifle

When Xiaotian was busy with his glass business, better news began to spread on Nanri Island one after another.

Under the accumulation of accumulation, all kinds of efforts made in the early stage of Yu Xiaotian have now begun to gradually enter the harvest period. The first thing to mention is his cannon. After completing the trial production of the iron model casting method, it has turned into normal production.

The advantages of the iron casting gun method are too great. In addition to the good quality of the cast artillery, there is also a fast casting speed and can be cast at any time without being affected by the weather. Another important benefit is that when casting artillery with the iron cast gun method, the scrap rate is very low. I dare not say that each gun is a qualified product, but At least the casting pass rate exceeds 70%. If the craftsmen are more exquisite and careful, they can even reach more than 90%.

This is unique in the gun casting industry in this era. General good gun casting craftsmen can control the completion rate at about 50%, even if it is very smart.

In this way, after the raw materials were guaranteed, the iron furnace basically did not stop and kept casting iron. In addition, in order to improve the speed, the Lei blacksmith cast another set of iron models. The two sets of iron models were used alternately, and could be cast into a six-pound gun in almost three days.

In this way, from the year to the end of the year, more than 20 six-pound guns were cast in just three months, which greatly alleviated the shortage of artillery on the sea wolf ships. At the same time, it also greatly enhanced the firepower of the sea wolf ships. Within a hundred miles around, their firepower can be said to be basically invincible.

Even if the government sends a small number of sailors to suppress Nanri Island, they still have the ability to fight against it.

The second good news is that Zhang's iron work came out. After Zhang created the first available pipe before the year, he began to continue to explore the method of building the pipe, remodeled the previous tooling, and also revised the process. After the year, several pipes were built one after another. And the waste rate of the pipe has been successfully reduced to less than 50%. Basically, two pipes can be built to produce a usable finished product.

In addition, according to the sketch of the flint firing mechanism given to Yu Xiaotian, Zhang also tried to find several sets of flint firing mechanism, and found the flint to be installed on the flint mechanism, assembled it with the barrel, and carried out a test shot.

But in the past two months, the ignition rate of these newly built flect devices has not been high, and even 40% of the ignition rate cannot be reached.

In addition to the faulty's design, it also has a lot to do with the material. The most important thing about the flint mechanism is the reed. The reed must have enough toughness and elasticity to ensure that the flint can powerfully hit the fire door, knock out the entrap in the fire door of Mars, and successfully fire the fire.

So just to solve the problem of elasticity and toughness of reeds, Zhang Blacksmith tossed hundreds of reeds, and finally made usable reeds, confirming the process of creating reeds.

At the end of February of the fourth year of the apocalypse, the first available flint device finally reached a practical level, increasing the fire rate of the flint device to 70%, or more than 70%.

Although this firing rate does not make Yu Xiaotian very satisfied, he also knows that it is not easy to achieve this firing rate. Even in the era when Western countries are equipped with a large number of flinch guns, they have not completely solved this problem, and the firing rate of flinch guns has always been Lingering between 70% and 80%, and even after the invention of the fire cap, changing to a firing gun with a fire cap can only increase the firing rate to about 90%, and dare not ensure that every shot can be effectively fired.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian was only satisfied that Zhang's blacksmith could increase the fire rate of the flinch device to about 70% in a few months, so he initially finalized this flinch device, cooperated with the built of the bridle tube, called it the South Japan-style flectar gun, and began to let Zhang Blacksmith lead people into production. .

In addition, Yu Xiaotian also told Zhang Blacksmith a good way, that is, to divide the division of labor and take charge of assembly line operations, give each of his apprentices to them a made part, let him be full-time responsible for building this kind of part, and finally assemble the parts into a pyrogun.

In addition, Yu Xiaotian also modified the crutch-type stock used by the original bird gun, making it into a stock like a later rifle, so that it can be fired against the shoulder. In this way, the gun holder has a stable support point with the stock against the shoulder, which can effectively improve the shooting accuracy.

The shaping of the Nanri-style tinu gun is undoubtedly a super good news for Xiaotian, which is basically equivalent to the iron model casting gun.

Because although the firing rate of the flecter gun may not be as good as that of the fire rope gun, most of the time, the advantage is far greater than that of the fire rope gun.

Because the fire rope gun needs to be used to fire, it is greatly affected by the weather. If the weather is too humid, or rainy, or windy, there is basically no way to use the fire rope gun effectively. Soldiers equipped with fire rope guns are basically equivalent to holding a fire stick in the face of such weather. When the enemies of cold weapons are waiting for them, it is basically the fate of being slaughtered.

In addition, although the loading step of the ignition gun is only one more ignition rope than that of the flects and jams it on the faucet of the firing device, this process is enough to determine the fate of many people. * The hand should always keep the fire rope not extinguished before firing, and it is slightly better to stand and wait for the fire, but once it is on one side Let's go. If you are ready to fire at any time, it will be difficult for those soldiers with muskets.

*The hand must walk while carefully bulging the cheeks and blowing the fire head of the fire rope. The fire head cannot be extinguished, otherwise the fire rope must be rekindled. Once the fire rope cannot be lit in time, I will die. The fire rope gun in their hands has become a fire stick and can only wait to be stabbed. .

It is said that in the 46th year of Wanli, there was a battle of Sarhu that was related to the fate of the Ming Dynasty. There were certain such factors in the final defeat of the Ming army. The Ming army was equipped with a large number of firearms, three-eyed, bird-eyed and crutches, and the number of equipment was very high, which was far more technically than the completely cold-armed Eastman at that time, but Because of the weather, the Ming army could not effectively give full play to its advantage in firepower, so it also affected the final battle process.

The flecter gun can effectively avoid this situation. Although it will also affect the fire of the flecter when it rains, it at least has a certain ability to fire, so that it can maintain a certain combat effectiveness. In addition, a lid is added to the fire door. After filling the diversion, the lid can be covered to ensure The medicine will not be blown off by the wind, causing a blind fire.

In addition, the flintlock gun avoids the step of lighting the fire rope and installing the fire rope. After filling the ammunition and diversion, you only need to open the hammer stuck in the flint and prepare everything before firing. Once you need to fire, you can aim immediately and pull the trigger. Shoot at the target.

In this way, the usable climate of the floon gun is much beyond the scope of use of the fire rope gun, which largely ensures that * soldiers can effectively fire in many cases.

Another very important point is that if the rifle is used at night, it must be ignited in advance. At night, the position of the enemy holding the rifle can be found far away, making it impossible to carry out any form of surprise attack.

However, the flaching gun does not need to be ignite in advance, which prevents users from being discovered by the enemy in advance. It is possible to ambush the enemy at night. Think about the * hands of a group of flaching guns, hiding in a place. When the enemy swaggered in front of them, they suddenly stood up and opened fire.

What kind of chaos can cause such a situation? The command is not effective at night. Once they are suddenly attacked, sometimes few * hands can defeat enemies more than ten times or even dozens of them. This advantage is self-evident.

The flatch gun has only reduced such a step, which seems to have only simplified the tedious * loading, but the benefits are great, but it can be said to be of epoch-making significance. This is why when the flectar was put on the battlefield, it quickly replaced the original musket!

At the same time, Yu Xiaotian secretly rejoiced that when the tinu gun was made, it also made possible to make the next step to make tinu* portable.

Think about it, two or more muskets in his head and waist as a pirate is more in line with his identity! Thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian's face was about to get a real *, and a smile appeared on his face.

However, there is one thing that does not satisfy Yu Xiaotian, but it is more troublesome to make guns than guns. His craftsmen are limited, and at best it is just a small workshop-style production. Even if he can produce this kind of flint, the output is a little desperate.

Yu Xiaotian really wants to increase production, but it requires a lot of labor to increase production. He doesn't have to think about mechanized production at all. In addition to finding a way to increase manpower, he has no better way.

At the current production speed, even if he uses the division of labor to produce this kind of labor to produce this kind of husk, his current iron work can only produce two or three a month, which is good, and at the same time, he has to build other iron tools, which has a greater impact on the production speed of this kind of hustic gun.

After Yu Xiaotian thought about it, he simply turned all the iron works of Zhang's blacksmith into a full-time production of linters, and the construction of other iron tools were temporarily handed over to the iron works in Chuanliao for production.

In addition, he asked his men to find more ways on land to find some smart blacksmiths in the place, whether it is a lot of money to buy or forcibly kidnap them, and try their best to get a group of blacksmiths for Nanri Island. The number of people is not limited, and the more the better. Anyway, they bear the name of thieves. If they only do discipline and law-abiding things, then they will It can no longer be called a pirate.

In addition to these two good news, Blackhead also returned to Nanri Island with two ships from Taiwan after the Spring Festival.

(unlucky, I started to have a fever again yesterday afternoon! Let's check again. It's still a viral cold. Why is it so unlucky? I haven't had such a difficult cold! It hurts all over! You have to stick to the code, sad! Today, I would like to thank every Kashgar friend for their unreshing rewards! Your support is the driving force of my code! Thank you for your help!)
