As Zhao Datong's former nest, Shuangfengzhai's infrastructure is quite good. There is a stream that flows to the Python River. The water in the village is quite convenient, and the water quality is very clear because it has just flowed out of the mountains. According to the locals, the water here is extremely suitable for iron quenching, so it is used as Zhao Da The same wealth is fundamental. He had built a large-scale blacksmith's shop in Shuangfengzhai. The last time Feng Tiancheng washed Shuangfengzhai, although he burned a lot of houses and killed some blacksmiths in the village, he did not destroy this blacksmith's shop too much. After Xing Tianjun took over here, it was simple. After cleaning up, the blacksmith's shop here was immediately put into use.

And Xiao Tianjian attaches great importance to the work of ironwork. In addition, there are many craftsmen, and the original blacksmith's shop is not enough for the current blacksmiths. Therefore, after Zhang Chao took over here, he immediately ordered the craftsmen to build a number of blacksmith workshops for these blacksmiths to use. In addition, some blacksmiths were assigned to Dongye Town. At an ironmaking furnace, this diverted the blacksmiths here.

The more than 100 blacksmiths left in the blacksmith's workshop are all masters among the blacksmiths. The head of the craftsman is Yang Changshou, the master who can create birds, and Yang Changshou is also impressed by Xiao Tianjian's use of him. He did not hesitate to spare his own craftsmanship and passed on the means of making fire to a group of more capable and intelligent craftsmen.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian walked to the back mountain shed area where the blacksmith's shop was located, he immediately heard the jingling sound of jingling here, and saw chimneys standing between the sheds. Each chimney represents a blacksmith's stove there. There are more than a dozen. You can see the scale of the blacksmith shed here. It's really not small.

After clarifying the shed where Yang Changshou was located, Xiao Tianjian went directly to the shed. At this moment, the craftsmen in the shed learned that Xiao Tianjian was coming, and also learned that they were about to get the first wages to work in the Xing Tianjun, so they were overjoyed and ran out to meet Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian greeted these craftsmen again, and then pulled Yang Changshou into the shed.

As soon as he entered the shed, Xiao Tianjian felt a heat wave coming to his face. Unlike the cold outside, the temperature in the shed was not low. Although it did not make people sweat profusely, at least he wore cotton to enter here, and he would sweat in a short time.

Xiao Tianjian walked to a blacksmith's workstation, reached out and picked up the iron pipe on a shelf, came to the edge of his eyes to look at it, and then asked Yang Changshou, "What is the quality of this bird's pipe?"

Yang Changshou immediately patted his chest and promised, "General, don't worry! This is the tube I made myself. Compared with Tianlongzhai in Shaanxi, the conditions here are really much better. At least the fine iron here can withstand the use of us blacksmiths, and the general has also asked for it. Quality is the first priority. We craftsmen have enough iron materials, and we naturally spare no effort to build it. Therefore, all the finished products are usable, which can ensure that the brothers in the army will not explode when they use it. If something happens, the general can ask me!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded and then carefully observed the tube. Seeing the symbols on the tube, he asked Yang Changshou, "What do these symbols mean?"

Yang Changshou immediately replied, "This is still according to the general's request. Each pipe is engraved with a symbol. As long as you look at this symbol, you will know who created the pipe. If you use explosives in the future, you will be the first to find me, and then you can find the craftsman who made it. Only we can ask!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded with satisfaction and put down the gun tube, and then looked down. Judging from the use of bird guns captured by Xing Tianjun during this year, the power of the bird guns they used at present was really not satisfactory to him, although he also modified the stock with granular gunpowder and fixed gunpowder. , to improve the performance of their existing birds, but the actual power of birds is not much, but it has improved the accuracy of shooting and the probability of explosion to a certain extent. During the battle with the enemy army, it is not enough to suppress the opponent's strong bow. At the same time, there is no obvious advantage in the face of the enemy's bird. In the past, he They are running around. Even if he wants to solve this problem, he doesn't have enough time and conditions. Now that he comes here, he has finally laid a small piece of their base, and this problem has been put on the agenda by him.

So after he compiled Yang Changshou and other craftsmen into craftsman camp and sent them to Shuangfeng Village, he gave Yang Changshou a task, which is to improve the bird spears they can make now. The first step of improvement is to improve the power of the bird spears. The first thing is to attack the spears of the bird spears, and now he takes these spears in his hands. According to his requirements, the inner diameter of the rifle has been expanded, so that the current bird caliber has been expanded from 9 to 12 or 3 mm, which they used differently, to about 17 to 18 mm, and the length ratio of the barrel has also increased to 70 to one.

In this way, the weight of the projectile can be increased a lot, the amount of charge can also be increased, and the barrel length of 70 to 1 is maintained to ensure that the range is not reduced, but also improved to a certain extent. In this way, the power of the Xingtian Army's bird gun should be more powerful than the bird gun used by the officers. Naturally, it is more convenient in terms of range.

However, the negative effect in turn is that after the gunpowder is increased at the same time, it is necessary to avoid excessive load pressure, resulting in an increase in the probability of explosion. Therefore, the pipe should also increase the thickness of the wall to a certain extent, so that it can withstand greater pressure and ensure the safety of the user. The result must bring the weight of the bird. At present, the weight of the barrel in his hand has reached about seven catties. If handguards and other accessories are added, the weight of this bird after forming will at least reach more than 14 or 15 catties. For a fireman, this weight is enough to affect their gun aiming.

It's just that this kind of bird gun is still in trial production. What is the specific situation? Xiao Tianjian hasn't seen the effect yet, so another important purpose he came here today is to test the power of this new bird gun. In addition, he proposed the next improvement of this new bird gun through test gun.

After Xiao Tianjian toured here, he saw that there were not many finished tubes here. The real finished product was no more than ten. The craftsmen here not only made the tubes of birds, but also made various accessories, such as screws blocking the tail of the tubes, the faucets, the medicine pool, and cleaning the birds. Sticks and other things to prepare for assembly.

Xiao Tianjian frowned and said to Yang Changshou, "Are the craftsmen here responsible for the whole process of building a bird?"
