"Your Majesty, I just said that the gun does not need to be modified for the time being, but it will definitely need to be modified in the future." Seeing the little fat man's face that instantly became painful again, Wang Bing couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

"In my opinion, this gun is already very good in terms of range and power. How can it be improved?" The little fat man was still struggling for the money in his own treasury.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the biggest drawback of this gun?" Instead of answering the little fat man's question about how to change the gun, Wang Bing asked the little fat man again.

"Uh, this probably can't be used in rainy days!" Looking at the match rope on the explosive gun in Wang Bing's hand, the little fat man couldn't help but have an idea.

"That's right! Your Majesty, whether it's the bird guns used by our Yu Lin, or the bird guns used by the Shenji Battalion or the Qi Family Army, they all rely on this match rope to ignite the fire. But once it encounters rainy or humid weather, this match rope will

If you can’t ignite a fire, the gun cannot be used!”

"If we can improve the method of making fire, instead of using a match rope, for example, use flint to start a fire, then we can slightly modify the medicine pool..."

Before the little fat man could speak, Wang Bing introduced the idea of ​​the flintlock gun to the little fat man in detail.

"According to what you said, wouldn't this gun be usable on rainy days?" After listening to Wang Bing's description of the flintlock gun, the little fat man couldn't help but shine, and he could no longer care about his money.

.

"Theoretically, it is true. However, your Majesty should let the people from the War Bureau explore the specific production, hehe!" Just when the little fat man looked excited, Wang Bing couldn't help but sneer.

There was no way. Although Wang Bing was once a soldier in the world hundreds of years later, he used automatic rifles at that time. He only knew the general principles of the firing device of the flintlock gun.

He didn't know the specific production method.

As for the paper shell bullet, it is easy to understand. It is nothing more than rolling waterproof paper into a paper tube and packaging a certain amount of gunpowder and projectiles together. When using it, bite open the paper shell and pour a little gunpowder into the medicine pool.

Then stuff the remaining gunpowder and projectiles into the barrel and compact it.

In this way, it not only increases the reloading speed of the gun, but also prevents the sergeant from loading too much gunpowder due to nervousness.

"Go, call me the eunuch who is in charge of the military battle bureau. Remember to ask them to bring a few craftsmen!" After hearing what Wang Bing said, the little fat man immediately called a young eunuch and asked him to go to the military war bureau immediately.

Find someone.

…

"How about, can you do this?"

Looking at the two gray-haired old craftsmen, the little fat man asked expectantly.

"Back...back...report back to the emperor, this paper-shell bullet is not difficult. As long as there are enough people, there is no problem. As for the flint firing, listening to what Uncle Guo said, it seems...it doesn't seem to be too difficult."

Although the two old craftsmen stuttered when facing the little fat man's inquiry, it was only because of the fear and excitement of facing the little fat man as the emperor, not because of technical reasons. In fact, China has not lacked outstanding craftsmen since ancient times.

Craftsmen, sometimes all they need is an idea.

"Okay, okay, as long as you can do this well, I will reward you greatly!" Although the little fat man is a bit stingy, it depends on the time. For example, when it comes to serious matters such as improving bird guns, he is still relatively generous.

"You guys will definitely live up to the emperor's kindness!" After hearing the little fat man's promise, the two old craftsmen quickly knelt down.

"Two masters, I have a new method of making gunpowder here. Please try it out too!" Just when the two craftsmen from the Weapon Bureau just stood up and were about to leave, Wang Bing suddenly remembered

Brown gunpowder was popular for a while in later generations.

"Please give me some advice, Uncle Guo."

For Wang Bing, the deputy commander of the Yulin Guards, it is obvious that these two craftsmen of the Military Staff Bureau are no strangers, at least not strangers in name. There is no way, who can serve as a permanent military position in the imperial court as a relative, the whole

In the two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been few.

"I can't tell you any advice. I've only heard about it. I don't know the production process. You still need to explore it yourself!" Like the flintlock device, Wang Bing also only knows a rough idea of ​​this millet-colored gunpowder.

, this is what I saw accidentally when I was surfing the Internet.

Later, Wang Bing roughly told the two old craftsmen the process of making brown gunpowder in the last years of the Pig Tail Dynasty that he accidentally saw on the Internet.

Speaking of which, except that this brown gunpowder is actually more complicated than black gunpowder in terms of technology, it is not much different from black gunpowder in essence. Both gunpowders are also composed of saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal, but

The charcoal used in brown gunpowder is wood that has not been fully carbonized.

"Uncle Guo, if you say so, wouldn't the gunpowder made from this willow firewood burn slower?" After listening to Wang Bing's introduction to the general method of making brown gunpowder, one of the two craftsmen

One person couldn't help but asked with a confused look on his face.

"Haha, this master said it was true. The brown gunpowder does burn slower than the black gunpowder." What Wang Bing didn't expect was that after just listening to his general description of the production process, the old craftsman deduced that

After seeing the greatest characteristics of this brown gunpowder, it seems that this old craftsman is really capable.

"Lao San, if you get a gunpowder that burns slower, won't the power of this gun decrease?" When he heard that brown gunpowder burned slower than black gunpowder, the little fat man immediately thought of using it.

Will this gunpowder reduce the power of the gun?

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Although this brown gunpowder burns slower, if it is used on blunderbuss or artillery, its power will not be reduced, but will be greatly improved." Faced with the doubts of Xiao Guozi and the old craftsman,

Looking at it, Wang Bing said confidently.

In fact, precisely because it burns slowly, the brown gunpowder burns more completely than the black gunpowder. In this way, the continuous driving force generated in the gun barrel or gun barrel will be more stable, thus

It can increase the speed and flight distance of projectiles.

"Third brother, are you serious about what you said?" The little fat man obviously didn't believe Wang Bing's statement.

In fact, not only the little fat man, but also the old craftsman looked puzzled, but he did not dare to question Wang Bing like the little fat man.

"Believe it or not, you will know it after you make it." Wang Bing, who didn't know how to explain to these 'bumpkin', could only let the craftsman make the thing first, and then let the facts prove it.
