Chapter 215 Fuze Shotgun

"Well, let's first break through a city, put all the captured women, cattle and sheep in, and tell the general about what happened here, and let the general send troops to take over the city, so that we can continue to come and go on the grassland without wind."

Zhang Yang is quite proud of his idea, which is definitely a good idea.

"Go and gather everyone together, first let a battalion guard these women and cattle and sheep, and then let's attack the Aoki River. Although the city is a little small, it is still quite large to expand." After Zhang Yang said, the soldiers began to go down to prepare. Today's battle restored the morale of the soldiers. Looking at the piles of women, their hearts were ready to move. If it hadn't been for Zhang Yang's restraint, they would have taken off their clothes at this time. After all, they were all a group of energetic young people.

"Brothers, send these women to the city first. At that time, everyone will have one. If the two are strong, it's really not enough, then three!" Zhang Yang's words suddenly made the soldiers below laugh, and the captive women didn't understand Chinese, so they didn't know what Zhang Yang said, but looking at their eyes, they could guess that it would never be a good situation next.

"Wo-o-o-o~"

"Brothers, are you ready? Let's go to Aoki River!" Zhang Yang shouted loudly.

"Ready!"

"Tighty to live in the city of Aoki River at night. Brothers, let's go!" After saying that, Zhang Yang led the leading troops to the Aoki River. The rest of the people led the women and the cattle and sheep forward slowly, while burning the original camp.

Near May, Bian Yujing's belly is already very big. It looks like she is about to give birth. Now the three wives and concubines in the house have big stomachs, which makes Liu Xia happy and deeply proud.

Luoyang is particularly sunny today, cloudless, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and it is particularly refreshing. Liu Xia is watching the shooting of the newly made flached munitions at the shooting range of the arsenal. After a period of research and development and testing, the sample gun has been made. As long as this sample gun passes Liu Xia's assessment, it can be officially mass-produced. Therefore, Li Sanhan from the Arms Department personally went to Luoyang City today to invite Liu Xia to see the results and let Liu Xia approve.

Bang bang bang!

On the wide and flat shooting range, there were three rows of soldiers holding new muskets. First of all, more than a dozen people in the first row held a three-foot-long musket in their hands and firmly fixed it with two hands. Then he lowered his head, closed one eye and aimed at the target motionless, and then Under the order of a commander, his fingers quickly moved. A trace of fire flashed out, and then there was a deafening sound. In an instant, a hole appeared in all the targets in the distance.

The soldiers in the first row quickly squatted down and continued to load an inch-sized paper bullet in a long tube. At the same time, the soldiers in the second row began to shoot. With an order, there was another deafening gunshot, and the target broke a hole again. Then the soldiers in the second row squatted down, and the soldiers in the third row continued to shoot the target.

Liu Xia stood on the high platform and watched the whole process clearly. He looked at the soldiers and guns on the shooting range with satisfaction. Such guns were almost ready at this stage. Liu Xia pointed to the soldier in the distance and said, "This gunshot is very loud. We can be so far away. It's enough to hear that they are so close, isn't it louder? Can they stand it?"

Li Sanhan, who was beside him, immediately explained, "Your Majesty, you don't know that those soldiers and commanders have a special earplug in their ears. This kind of earplug can greatly reduce the sound. Although we listen to it very loudly, they actually don't feel too loud. Therefore, the person who commands the shooting must shout a loud voice before they can hear it, which is also a shortcoming at present.

"It's good to be able to do this. Keep up the good work and make it perfect. By the way, do you know Lei Mercury? Liu Xia paused and asked Li Sanhan and others. Mercury? I don't know. Please ask the prince to make it clear. Li Sanhan and many other R&D personnel suddenly looked puzzled.

Liu Xia thought about it and understood that Lei Mercury has not appeared even in the West. How can these people know? Westerners haven't invented it yet, that is, they can't steal Western technology. Liu Xia knew that this thunder mercury could not be developed for a while, so he focused on whether he could put several bullets into the gun at the same time, which was not only convenient for soldiers, but also hit the enemy continuously. Liu Xia said, "Lei Mercury is a kind of fuel that is easy to explode. If it is in a dry environment, even very light friction and impact can cause explosion, which can be used to make bullets. However, it is not easy to get thunder mercury now. On the one hand, you can explore it. Even if you can't get thunder mercury, you can develop a substitute. On the other hand, think about how to make each gun be loaded with a few more bullets.

Although Li Sanhan and others still have many questions, Liu Xia turned around after saying that, and they did not dare to ask again. In fact, even if they ask Liu Xia, they don't know.

"Yes, it can be mass-produced. The previous muskets do not need to be produced, and all the energy is spent on the production of flecters. In addition, other cold weapons have also been reduced in construction and then used to produce flinch guns. Seeing that Liu Xia attached so much importance to the huskling guns they developed, these people looked very happy.

Li Sanhan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we all ask you to name this kind of gun!"

"Give me a name?" Liu Xia was stunned for a moment, and then turned around again and looked at Li Sanhan and others.

Li Sanhan was still smiling, and everyone else stared and waited for Liu Xia to give him a name. When Liu Xia looked at it, if he didn't give a name, then these people would think that they looked down on them, then give them a name, so Liu Xia began to meditate.

After a while, Liu Xia raised her head and whispered, "Then let's call it Ping Fu Fu Fu Gun!" What do you think?

"Good! Let's call it a flat gun. We are fighting for the tazis, which is exactly what we want!" After Liu Xia said that, everyone nodded one after another.

"How many silver coins does this rifle need? How much can you produce in the first month?

At this time, Fang Lin Yuan, the director of the arsenal factory, said, "To report to the prince, eight silver coins are needed to convert the total cost of this flat flounder gun, but the prince is mostly caused by the high price of steel materials. If the price of steel materials is reduced, the flounder gun will pass through the best. The price of a gun can be reduced to .5 silver coins. If the whole factory is produced day and night, a thousand pieces can be built a month. It takes 8,000 silver dollars, and the cost of the workers is 500 silver dollars, a total of 8,000 silver dollars.

The eight-dollar silver coin is much more expensive than the flint gun, but the benefits of the flintlock are obvious. You don't need to light the flint in person, and you don't have to worry about the inability to use it in rainy days. It is also faster than the musket, and the range is longer and more accurate. Eight yuan a piece is eight yuan a piece. Liu Xia gritted her teeth and said, "You can reduce the cost as soon as possible. After 8,000 silver dollars, the logistics department will pay you, and you can manage your own production. By the way, didn't I build a steel factory? Wang En, how is the steel factory now?

Liu Xia's voice fell, and Wang En's face was not good: "Your Majesty, the steel factory has only forged one ton of steel in the past three months."

"So little!" Liu Xia exclaimed that you should know that the steel forged in the next month is astronomical.

Wang En said, "General, I don't blame them. Nowadays, forging steel is hit with a hammer, and the speed is naturally very slow."

One hammer and one hammer? Stupid! Liu Xia's face was suddenly covered with clouds and said angrily, "Idiot! Go back and rectify it immediately. You don't need to hit it with a hammer. Didn't I tell you to build a melting furnace and forge all the iron ore into steel after adding the appropriate amount of carbon? Although the specific step is not very clear, won't you study it step by step? You will build it as soon as you go back, but as soon as possible. I can't wait that long."

Wang En was also very unhappy at this time and vowed to build the melting pot in Liu Xia's mouth immediately after going back.
