Li Qi also got the iron pipes and several iron cans that he had ordered the blacksmiths to make.

The hollow iron pipe is tightly fitted with two layers, one layer wrapped around the other, connecting the gaps through forging and welding. This is just a skill that black ears cannot do.

It is not easy to make these evenly thin and solid and straight hollow iron pipes. The blacksmith also carved the rifle according to Li Qi's description and also made a batch of metal projectiles.

At this point, the initial preparations for the musket designed by Li Qi have been completed.

Next is to go to the headland crypt and ask Betty to use these things to try to make muskets

Soon, Liqi sent the barrel into the crypt. Betty immediately understood what he meant after obtaining the barrel.

The whole experiment is actually very simple. Block a mouthful, pour magic gunpowder into it, and then stuff the projectiles from the tip of the gun. However, another small problem was encountered here. After the projectiles were stuffed in, they would roll around in the iron pipe.

The iron pipe must always be lifted upwards, otherwise the projectile will roll out of the pipe and even carry gunpowder out.

"If you wrap the projectiles with a layer of thin paper, the projectiles can block the gun chamber and the gunpowder will not flow out easily. And when the gunpowder is ignited, the flame will burn the paper to ashes."

Unfortunately, there is no systematic papermaking technique in this world, and only paper tanned by parchment, cowhide, tree bark, or rag fragments. If stuffed into the barrel, it will only explode.

Li Qi didn't care much about papermaking before. He couldn't even eat enough in his territory. How could he think about papermaking? This craft is very easy to be reproduced, and it is almost impossible to make money by selling paper.

Now, it seems that he has to bring the great inventions of the ancestors of the Earth.

The size of the projectile is not very suitable, and it is still oval, which makes some projectiles likely to get stuck in the middle, so you need to poke it inside with a slender wooden stick.

Fortunately this is just a preliminary test.

After everything was ready, Betty raised her hand and held the iron tube with her bare hands, chanting the spell.

"Bang!" The iron tube swayed slightly, and then a burst of smoke came out.

"puff!"

The body of the dead body controlled by Li Qi was instantly penetrated.

"It seems that there is too much magic gunpowder." Betty stuck out her tongue, but her expression was very excited, which means that the concept of musket proposed by Liqi is really feasible!

Li Qi lowered his head and touched the pierced part, broke a bone, and his body was transparent from front to back.

It's okay, it doesn't hurt.

It's just that accuracy is very problematic and it's impossible to put it into use.

He took the barrel again, and the tube that had just fired was hot. There might not be any movement in Betty's hands, but when he reached the hands of the dead body controlled by Liqi, it immediately "sizzled" and smoked.

The forged welds of the iron pipe have cracked and tend to become trumpet flowers.

It means that the strength is not enough.

It's really impossible in all aspects.

Li Qi is not satisfied with this result. Even though the magic musket is really useful, it involves problems that have to be solved. First of all, Betty can control the combustion direction and combustion power of the magic gunpowder, but what Li Qi needs is the magic musket

It can also be used in the hands of ordinary people, and ordinary people cannot control the direction of the explosion of magic gunpowder.

If you can't be used by ordinary people, it doesn't make sense.

If you know magic, you can use more magical abilities. There is no need to fight on the front line with a gun.

Secondly, Betty can ignite magic gunpowder through spells. Ordinary people will never ignite magic gunpowder through the gun barrel. This way of use cannot be reproduced at all.

However, the second problem is not difficult to solve. As long as he can reproduce the famous "match gun" in the history of the earth, it can solve the problem of not being able to ignite gunpowder.

Although Li Qi didn't know how to rub the rifle with his bare hands, he still knew the basic principle of "match rope" and the specific manufacturing must be left to his subordinates for research. As for the "flintlock rifle", the technology cannot take big steps.

Come on.

The principle of using a comb rope gun is similar to that of a firework. A special rope burns very slowly after being ignited. Use the fuse to ignite the gun powder, and the gunpowder burns out the projectile and completes the shooting.

It just takes too much pre-tech to make the Match Rope Gun that Li Qi imagines.

Stronger iron pipes, paper, long-burning fuses, and even guns also need to be designed. It is more convenient to fill gunpowder, how to aim, how to ignite and fire while aiming, etc., and these all require step-by-step research.

The matter of Longboat Fort also strengthened Li Qi's long-standing idea. The war never ended, so it was necessary to build high walls and accumulate grain.

There are no long-range troops in the Porcupine Corps, but some soldiers can use crossbows and do not play much role in combat.

Let’s talk about bows and arrows first. Unless you are an extraordinary person, like Stacey, it is absolutely impossible to have thin waists, long legs, white skin, and you can also pull the big bow at will. Even if you are a top archer, don’t have to be dead.

There were only a few hundred arrows, and then the arms were destroyed.

Every archer must be the most elite soldier, and needs strong physical strength, and day after day training.

It can draw a bow and shoot archery in the distance, and can withstand great sword slashing in the near distance. This is one of the most elite troops of archers.

If Li Qi traveled through the porcupine collar on the eastern coast, but Enduo, who had a group of people living on horseback, he might have tried to train archers.

In fact, no one can be equipped with a bow in the current porcupine collar, and at most it is equipped with a crossbow.

Compared to the difficulty of training for bows and arrows, crossbows are much simpler. As long as you can use your feet to open the crossbow string, press the arrow, and then aim and launch, it will be qualified. It is simple and easy to use. The farmer can go to the battlefield after a little training for a long time.

But there is also a similar problem with using a crossbow. Pushing the strings with your feet is indeed easier than pulling the bow with your hands, but it is not much easier. Punching dozens or hundreds of times will also make your legs weak. In the current war, crossbows will be in trouble.

The combat value of the hand is definitely beyond that of the archers, but in Li Qi's eyes, compared with these, thermal weapons and muskets should truly develop.

It is easy to change the bullets, pouring in some gunpowder and stuffing a projectile, it doesn’t take much effort at all, it’s just that the steps are a little complicated.

But as long as the famous "three-stage strike" tactic of the melee gun can be combined with the famous "three-stage strike" tactic, this problem can be avoided to a certain extent.

But these are just Li Qi's imagination, because the raw materials for magic gunpowder are now high, and the large-scale musket team is simply burning gold.

There is no need to think too far, let’s build the musket first.

Liqi handed the iron can to Betty again. He planned to wait for Betty to create a sufficient amount of magic gunpowder and fill it into the iron can.

A tightly tied with cloth is called an explosive pack, which is amazingly powerful, so if you put it in an iron can and throw it out and detonate it, it can be called a magic grenade.

I believe that the magic grenade can give the hairy monsters in the Capeland Cry castle a huge surprise.
