Chapter 96 Tianque/P> Chapter 97 Waiting

After the barrel cooled down, Zhang Yang picked up a barrel and looked at it carefully, but found that the yield of this barrel was still not ideal. There were more than 100 barrels just now, of which only more than 70 of them met the requirements. The rest were slightly curved in the process of transshipment, and some had a slightly larger inner diameter and rifling. It's not engraved well. These don't meet the requirements, so they have to be scrapped.

Even so, Zhang Yang is relatively satisfied. In his plan, as long as there is half of the yield, he will be satisfied. The industrial level in this era is almost zero, and the manufacturing of the barrel, even in modern times, under the premise of a large number of various high-precision tools, there are still waste products.

The barrel has been built, and the next main job is to build the gun body.

The barrel is an iron pipe engraved with a rifling. Although the manufacturing process is a little complicated, it still looks simple. It's clear at a glance.

But this gun body, in two words, it's called complicated, in four words, it's called extremely complicated, in six words, it's called extremely complicated!

Zhang Yang first drew a schematic diagram on the paper. Li Bosheng, Li Chengrui, and other blacksmiths. No one understood. He made a model with wood and explained it. Finally, a blacksmith understood a little bit. Zhang Yang felt that he was just giving college textbooks to primary school students, which was not surprising. They only pay attention to literary knowledge in this era, and the teaching of scientific and technological knowledge is very rare.

However, the principle of the gun that Zhang Yang wants to do is really complicated.

Since he is a light weapon professional, although he doesn't know much about steelmaking, Zhang Yang is really familiar with this weapon manufacturing, especially gun making.

The basic principle of the musket is a tube, stuffed with gunpowder, pounded, put in the projectile, ignited, flew out of the projectile, and completed the launch.

Many changes experienced by the musket. The pipe changed from bamboo pipe to pig iron pipe, then into copper pipe, then into fine steel pipe, and finally into alloy steel pipe. The ignition method changed from direct ignition to flint fire, that is, the flint gun, and then to the bottom fire made of thunder mercury. The firing method of firing with a needle, the gunpowder changed from paper bag to copper bubble, the warhead changed from stone, iron beads, and finally It turned into a lead bullet. The gunpowder has also changed from black gunpowder to smokeless gunpowder.

The loading method of bullets is first stuffed in from the muzzle, which is called the front gun, and then it becomes loaded from the back, which is called the rear gun.

In this era, the firing method of fire is still ignited by fire, and what Zhang Yang wants to do is to lead the flint gun of this era, that is, to use a hammer to hit flint, emit sparks, ignite gunpowder, and shoot.

In this way, no matter whether the wind blows or the sun is blowing or raining, you won't worry about not being able to light the gunpowder.

Ordinary flick-haired guns are all front-loaded guns, that is, gunpowder and projectiles are put into the barrel mouth, which is good for smooth-m guns, because the barrel is as thick as the projectile, but for rifles, because the rifle needs to be loaded to squeeze the projectile, the projectile will be slightly thicker than the inner diameter. In this way, the projectile is stuffed in from the front. Sometimes, you have to work hard with a whole strip, and sometimes there will be an embarrassing situation where the projectile is stuck in the middle, and you can't get up or down.

Why don't you stuff it in from behind? Because the opening of the hole in the back will lead to a problem of sealing the surname, how to connect the tail of the moving gun and the barrel, so that it is not only convenient to switch, but also to connect firmly. If it is not tightly sealed, the gas will leak and the energy of gunpowder will not be effectively used.

And all of these have been solved by exquisite devices.

Zhang Yang's principle of fire is to imitate the continuous bead fire milling made by Dai Zi in the Qing Dynasty. A cone hole is made at the end of the gun body, and then a rotating machine wheel slightly larger than the cone hole. The machine wheel is stuffed into the cone hole, and the barrel is tightly sealed. The machine wheel has two small round grooves, which are in line with the outer bullet hole and the firing chamber hole. Turn it around, stuff the propellant and projectile into the gun, and then turn it again, turn the hole to another position and seal it. The bolt fire uses an impact tunnel, with a tunnel on the nose, and a fire sickle in front of the nose. There is a gunpowder tank in the middle of the bolt, and the upper cover is opened and closed. The tank also coincides with the gunpowder tank on the thin handle of the wheel. ( The specific principle must be combined with the picture)

There are also two shank, one is used to rotate the wheel, complete the process of loading and loading warheads, and the other is used for launching.

Two handles, left and right hands can be done at the same time, complete a series of actions, and then aim and shoot.

Speaking of which, it is somewhat similar to a combo crossbow. The combo crossbow also has two handles, one on the top, which is used to string the bamboo arrow, and the other below to control the launch.

The two handles have similar functions and positions. The upper one is used to load ammunition, and the lower one is used to control shooting.

The gunpowder is wrapped in paper in advance and made into one by one. Every time you turn it, the gunpowder is stuffed in, which is a bit similar to a revolver.

As for bullets, they are lead bullets. Lead is relatively soft and can rotate quickly under the action of the suff. Moreover, hitting the human body can produce deformation and cause greater lethality.

Bullets and gunpowder are stored in the buttstock, which can be opened to facilitate the loading of ammunition.

The steel water that does not meet the standard has been made into steel ingots, and these small parts need to be made by blacksmiths.

Because of the wooden model that Zhang Yang has made, although the craftsmen do not understand the principle, Zhang Yang does not need them to understand the principle. They are just a link in the production line. Each person is responsible for making each person's parts and finally assemble them.

Under the supervision of Zhang Yang, several craftsmen finally assembled all the parts after a day of knocking.

A brand-new fire appeared in front of everyone.

The mahogany handle, the dark body, the two carefully crafted handles, and each place are like a newborn baby, which makes Zhang Yang love it.

The barrel is 35 inches long, and the caliber is 0. 38 inches. With the buttstock, the total length is 42 inches. Place the buttstock on the ground, about under the adult's chest.

In the future, this will be the weapon to dominate the world. If you look at the world, you will give up to me.

Qin lost his deer, the world chased it together, and Yuan lost his deer. This deer belongs to me, Zhang Shicheng.

"Brother, how powerful can we be?" Li Bosheng asked, in the past two days, he watched Zhang Yang disassembled and disassembled these parts, and finally combined them into a long fire gun in front of him.

"Is the crossbow I made powerful?" Zhang Yang asked.

"It's need to say, there is a crossbow in hand, and I'm sure that three or five people surround me and put them all in." Li Bosheng said.

The biggest advantage of the combo crossbow is that it can shoot continuously and maintain a strong firepower. As long as you are skilled, you can win more with less.

"With my fire, more than a dozen cavalry will come quickly, and you will also have a chance to kill them." Zhang Yang said.

? Such a god? Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at the weapon in Zhang Yang's hand. Even the iron craftsmen began to look at Zhang Yang with a look of worship.

For infantry, cavalry is simply a kind of strength. A charge of cavalry can kill several times more infantry, especially Mongolian cavalry, who have lived on horseback since childhood, just like an eagle flying into the blue sky.

"Come on, come out, I'll show you." Zhang Yang said, holding the fire in his hand and came outside.

In the future, a special shooting range must be built. Each fire must be tested before the troops can be equipped with unqualified weapons. For soldiers, it means death.

Now, Zhang Yang came to the open space to the west of the blast furnace and erected five huge plaques in front of them, lined up. On the plaques, circles were drawn one by one, and the circle in the center was painted red.

Zhang Yang took 200 steps back, turned around and looked at the bullseye in the distance.

He skillfully pulled the pull rod, unloaded the ammunition, aimed three points and one line, breathed calmly, and pulled the trigger.

"Pon!" A huge noise came from the fire, and with a black smoke, a small lead bullet roared and flew over.

"Bang!" Hit the bullseye.

Then, he pulled the upper lever with his left hand, the wheel rotated, and the gunpowder and the warhead were loaded into the gun barrel in turn. Then, the conical wheel blocked the gun again.

Zhang Yang raised his gun, aimed at the second bullseye, and shot again.

Then, the third, the fourth, and the fifth.

Five warheads hit the target at short intervals.

Li Bosheng quickly ran over and saw that the lead bullet had been deeply embedded in the wooden target, three points into the wood!

At such a long distance, it can be so accurate, and the interval between each two launches is not much slower than that of the crossbow. This fire is really not simple!

Bian Yuanheng also observed next to him. The power of this fire is a hundred times stronger than his proud hunting bow, with a long range and a fast rate of fire. With such a handy weapon, any powerful enemy can cope with it.

Zhang Yang was also very satisfied. According to his estimate, the range of this fire gun should be 500 steps, but in the first test, I didn't know whether the barrel could withstand the rifling pressure, so the propellant was reduced. Even so, it could still have such power within 200 steps.

"Big brother is great!" Everyone cheered in unison.

The sound resounded throughout the island, resounded through the sky, resounded through the land of China, and sounded the horn of the demise of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Brother, give us a name for this kind of fire!" Li Bosheng said.

Hungry food, laughing and thirsty to drink the blood of the Xiongnu. From the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and look up to the sky! Somehow, Zhang Yang suddenly thought of Yue Fei's "Manjianghong".

"Let's call it Tianque!"

"OK, that's a good name!" Everyone praised one after another.

Liu Ruohan was also in the crowd observing. When she heard the name, she suddenly frowned.

Tianque means the palace gate, which refers more to the palace. His brother Shicheng gave such a loud name to this fire. He has the ambition of the world, which is undoubtedly revealed.

(The semi-automatic fire was mentioned earlier, which ushered in a lot of heated discussion among many readers. I felt flattered. After carefully reviewing the information, I finally dared to write it down.

Dai Zi, in the early Qing Dynasty, manufactured a kind of beaded fire gun. Although it was not an automatic weapon, its cleverly designed rotating wheel solved the difficulties of multiple loading and realized the purpose of continuous firing. It was a rear-loaded flcon. This kind of gun, after research, should be the Angli dumb national gun dedicated to the emperor in the early years of the copycat Kangxi. With this gun, Zhang Yang will be about to break out of his own world.

I have revised it three times, and finally boldly uploaded these two chapters. Readers are welcome to put forward all kinds of opinions. I will definitely listen to you.
