Chapter 607 Making money and recruiting apprentices(1/2)

 "Hit!"

"Shilang Wang was hit!"

Master Wei discovered this fact first, and rushed over with a single step, regardless of whether there was another shot.

There is no problem with the willow tree, but unfortunately, the sand fruits hanging on the willow tree are not so lucky.

I don’t know whether Wang Mi was a born sharpshooter or whether it was a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse. In any case, it was his lead bullet that hit Sha Guo.

A sand fruit fell to the ground with a sound. The other sand fruit was still hanging crookedly on the willow tree, but it had been beaten to pieces, and its skin was torn and all black.

"It really hit!"

"I won!"

"Amai, spit out all the money!"

The moment Wang Mi rushed towards the willow tree, he did not forget to shout to He Mai. In order to make money, this guy dared to buy him out. He was simply not a good friend!

The money bag in He Mai's hand suddenly fell to the ground.

Lost!

He actually lost!

Such a complete loss!

Small money!

You left me so heartlessly!

However, He Mai did not need to be sad too quickly, because no one had noticed him yet. People were rushing to the willow tree to experience the true power of the pistol with Wang Shilang.

The power of the pistol is indeed huge!

Although this is only a semi-finished product made by Wang Mi's handicraft workshop, it can still make people of this era deeply feel this.

"Look!"

"The lead is here!"

Wang Mi heard it right. At the moment when the lead shot out of the barrel of the gun, he heard two loud noises in the next moment.

The first sound was a little dull, but the second sound actually had a crisp and decisive tone.

One shot, two shots!

That’s right!

Different from modern standard pistols, modern standard pistols can hold nine or even ten rounds of ammunition in the magazine.

Supports continuous firing.

However, ancient technology was limited after all. Even if Wang Mi tried his best to modify it, a pure gunpowder-type pistol could only fire one round and load one round.

Therefore, it is certain that there was only one lead bullet in the pistol at this time.

A lead bullet made two noises, so it definitely did not fall to the ground quickly after hitting Shaguo.

Wang Mi's judgment was correct. He climbed up the ladder and searched carefully near the sago. He soon found the lead bullet on the willow trunk where the sago was hanging.

"Where where?"

"Zhiyuan, show me!"

He Mai stood on tiptoes. Unfortunately, he was small in stature. Even though he stretched his neck, he still couldn't see clearly.

He was really anxious.

At this moment, Wang Mi's tolerance and generosity were revealed. If the He brothers found such a major discovery, they would definitely whet Xiao Wang's appetite and delay in bringing it out.

He always has to boast triumphantly before settling the matter, but in the same situation, Wang Mi would never do this.

He jumped down from the ladder generously and handed the lead he dug out to He Mai.

"Let's see!"

"Hit it into the willow trunk!"

Wang Mi raised his hand and pointed to the willow trunk in front of him, but he saw that there was a big black hole at the top of the bare willow trunk.

Its position is behind the hanging sand fruit. There is no doubt that the second sound just now was caused by the lead striking the willow trunk!

"so amazing!"

"Zhiyuan, the power of the pistol is really extraordinary!" He Mai sighed as he held the polished lead in his hand.

The lead was smooth, and although it was very small, it still had some weight. It was heavy in his hand. He Mai could even feel the strange force that pushed the lead outward after the gunpowder expanded violently!

The warmth seems to still be there on the small lead piece.

Under the leadership of He Mai, many master craftsmen also came over and agreed one after another. Especially Pu Chao, the general minister, was even more amazed at such a thing.

"I didn't expect that one lead can hit two targets!"

"It's really amazing!" Pu Chao stroked his beard and laughed, but then said: "Wang Shilang, it seems that if we go to the battlefield, wouldn't it be possible to hit two enemies with one shot?"

Although Pu Chao has never been on the battlefield, his reasoning is based on reality and fully embodies the economic and practical philosophy of a middle-aged minister.

Weapons!

Whether it is ordinary or miraculous, after all, it is used to kill the enemy in battle.

What kind of weapon is a good weapon?

Of course it can kill more enemies!

These days, Pu Chao has also realized that this pistol is indeed a rare item and very magical, but how effective can such a delicate weapon be.

He still has doubts.

Until today, after seeing the miracle of this spear piercing two objects, Pu Chao was convinced.

Don’t accept it!

In the past, not only him, but also any skilled craftsman in the workshop had never seen such a scene.

The characteristics of bows and arrows are familiar to everyone, whether they have been soldiers or not.

Because there are feathers following the arrow shaft, when the arrow pierces the enemy's chest, the feathers behind the arrow shaft will keep the entire bow and arrow in the chest of the person who was hit by the arrow.

It's impossible to wear them all.

In other words, an arrow can only hit one person, and it is absolutely impossible to hit two targets.

However, this lead pistol gave him hope!

Wang Mi smiled awkwardly, and Pu Chao's expression was so enthusiastic and full of expectation that he was quite at a loss.

He had to pause and said slightly hesitantly: "Theoretically, it is possible."

The so-called theory is of course an ideal state. Wang Mi is not sure whether Pu Chao can understand it. However, facing the current situation, he can only seek truth from facts.

Lead bullets are just ordinary bullets. Compared with modern single-shot bullets filled with gunpowder, their power is completely different.

It is possible for one bullet to hit two people in modern times, but in ancient times, unfortunately, Wang Mi believed that this possibility was indeed only theoretical.

However, he did not want to dampen Puchao's enthusiasm and cause them to question the new product pistol.

"Theoretically?"

Pu Chao didn't understand what theory meant, but he did understand what theory was and what theory was. In other words, things like hitting two targets with one shot could be discussed.

"good!"

"good!"

"As long as it's possible!"

"Zhiyuan, we must promote this kind of artifact as soon as possible and make more of it!"

Wang Mi's outstanding invention quickly won resonance in Jiang's workshop. To his surprise, no one from top to bottom in Jiang's workshop questioned his invention.

Everyone quickly recognized the power of the pistol, which made Wang Mi very satisfied. Being able to win the approval of Jin people was the most important thing to him.

However, Pu Chao's words suddenly made his mood drop to the bottom.

Make more?

This matter seems difficult to handle!

…………

As a battlefield weapon, in this era of pure cold weapon competition, hot weapons such as pistols can certainly play an extraordinary role in defeating one against a hundred.

Facing the upcoming larger-scale war, Jiangzuo should mass-produce pistols as soon as possible, the sooner the better!

However, this is also where Wang Mi is worried.

To produce, money is needed.

Producing pistols is not like making spears and stirrups.

It costs a lot of money, requires an endless supply of raw materials, and cannot stop for a moment.
