Jiang Wan didn't know if there were people like Zhao Yuan in the Ministry of Industry who placed the firearm test site in the courtyard of his house. However, he felt that there probably wouldn't be any.
The screen wall facing the main door is much more solid than the screen walls of ordinary homes. The screen walls of ordinary homes are purely used for decoration to block the wind and sight. However, the screen wall of the Zhao family's house is probably not as good as when it was originally built.
When I got up, I already had the plan to block the musket projectiles.
This screen wall is almost made of a whole piece of granite. In the past, there may have been something carved on the stone for aesthetic purposes, but now it looks like there are potholes everywhere, just like the freckles on a little girl's face.
, little stars, countless.
However, Jiang Wan was worried about a problem. If they really didn't know anything when they came in like they just did, and when they turned around and were faced with a row of projectiles, even if they had guards around them, they would have already been there by now.
He's dead all over the place!
"Who dares to come in through my door except me and my disciples?"
Zhao Yuan curled his lips slightly and said such a sentence, which made Jiang Wan stunned. What kind of logic is this? Isn't this gate in your house just for people to come in and out?
"Besides, I usually shoot firecrackers at signboards everywhere. It's really free of charge as a gunpowder projectile!"
Zhao Yuan's next sentence explained it a bit: "If you really want to test-fire, naturally go to the test-fire range of our weapons bureau. At home, you can do whatever you want!"
Fortunately, you did it casually. Fortunately, what you developed is not a cannon!
Jiang Wan swallowed slightly and looked back at the squatting tiger cannon that had been lying under the steps without any presence: "Then what were you doing just now?"
"Just trying the gunpowder ratio, no projectiles, just a little sawdust!" Zhao Yuan said calmly.
While talking, he had already loaded several firecrackers in his hand from large to small.
Jiang Wan had been trying hard to stay calm, even rambling to cover up his inner shock. But when it came time for the test shot, he couldn't help but his throat squirmed. He found that it had been a long time since he had met something that made him excited.
Something happened, and the thing in front of him actually made him feel a little excited.
"Watch it!" Zhao Yuan fired at the screen wall in the distance, and saw smoke rising, and stone debris flying on the screen wall in the distance. Fortunately, the door had been closed tightly, and there was nothing around the screen wall.
A living person, otherwise, just these flying stone chips would be enough to splash blood on a person's face.
"The Rumi gun can penetrate iron armor within eighty steps! It can hit the longest distance of two hundred steps!" Zhao Yuan pointed to the fire gun in his hand and introduced: "This fire gun is four feet long and weighs seven kilograms. It contains gunpowder.
Three coins, set up a rear sight, look at the mountain, and shoot with a match rope!"
Jiang Wan nodded slightly. If these data are correct, this is indeed better than the Fo Lang Robot Fire Gun.
"At my speed, I can fire one bullet at thirty breaths. If you are experienced in the army, you can shorten the time to ten or twenty breaths!"
Jiang Wan's face showed a look of surprise. Owen had said that if the Fo Lang robot's blunderbuss in their hands could fire once a minute, it would be a very good performance. But this Lumi blunderbuss can shoot two shots per minute today.
Although it may take training to make one or three rounds, but the ceiling is here and it has improved a lot.
For the same number of troops, if the rate of fire is increased, the firepower output is almost equivalent to an increase of two to three times the number of troops. If this can be guaranteed, then there is no doubt that this Rumi gun is indeed better than the Folang machine.
Firegun is excellent.
"This is much better than the fire blunderbuss equipped by the Shenji Camp. Why doesn't the imperial court use this?" Jiang Wan remembered what he said to Xu Caining: "It can't be because of the price!"
Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes and put down the gun in his hand: "A Lumi gun can be made into four to five bird guns at the price. Moreover, the gunpowder used in the Rumi gun has to be prepared separately. The imperial court does not have a large amount of equipment in the army. Naturally,
It’s because of the imperial court’s consideration!”
These words sounded fair and peaceful, but Jiang Wan still heard a trace of resentment in them. Thinking about it, if this Lumi gun was really developed by Zhao Shizhen, it would have been at least decades ago, and the imperial court purchased it.
Fire guns are still mainly bird guns, which explains the problem.
Zhao Yuan is aggrieved for his father!
Zhao Yuan picked up the fire gun that seemed to be tied together with a big umbrella in his hand and said: "This is the Five Sons Thunder Gun. It can fire five guns in a row. If the shield in front is an enemy,
If you are close, you can remove it and use the handle of the spear to kill the enemy; if it is far away, use the fire blunderbuss to kill it!"
After saying that, he started to operate this cumbersome big guy. This big guy that looked a bit like "Gatling" was obviously much more complicated to operate than Lumi Gun. Even with Zhao Yuan's familiarity with it, it was
After tinkering for a long time, I launched it towards the screen wall.
The five blunderbuss fired in a row were indeed much more powerful than the Lumi blunderbuss fired by one blunderbuss. However, Jiang Wan was not optimistic about this thunder blunderbuss.
With such a cumbersome operation method and such a huge structure, he doubted whether this thing would have much effect in actual combat. If it were to be fired multiple times, the three-eyed fire blunderbuss was crude and simple. After being fired, it could be used as an iron rod.
, compared to this Thunder Gun, it seems to be more practical.
Especially the general quality of soldiers in this era is not very good. The more complex the firearms, the greater the probability of problems when facing battle. Unreliable soldiers, unreliable weapons, when these unreliable combinations are combined,
For a battle, it means failure.
However, from this thunderbolt, he saw what he wanted to see.
"How about it? Five guns are fired at once, and they are invincible. I also have seven guns and nine guns here, which are more powerful!" Zhao Yuan said proudly: "The price is not expensive. There are at most a dozen or so Rumi guns.
Price!"
Jiang Wan shook his head and pointed at the thunder cannon in front of him: "This one doesn't seem to need to be lit with a match rope to shoot out!"
"This is my father's proud work!" Zhao Yuan said with a smile: "This is flint. You see, when it hits here, sparks will pop out and then ignite the gunpowder... Forget it, you don't understand what I'm telling you.
You just need to know that this is easier to use and faster than a match rope!"
"Then if that's the case, why can't this flint be mounted on the Lumi gun?" Jiang Wan seemed a little puzzled and said, "Your Majesty once gave me a short fire gun, which was fired like this. The origin of Zhao's family history
, if you improve the Rumi gun like this, it shouldn’t be too difficult!”
"This..." Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but when he looked at Lumi Gun in front of him, he looked like he was thinking seriously.
"In the Ministry of Industry, what is the selling price of Lumi guns in the military?" Jiang Wan asked.
"About twenty taels!" The person who spoke was Xu Caining. She seemed to have a relatively clear idea of the price of the gun.
"Mr. Zhao, if you can improve this Rumi gun, I, Nanhaiwei, can order a thousand of them at the price of twenty taels of silver each!" Jiang Wan smiled slightly: "The gunpowder bullets are not included!"
