Everyone went to bed that night, and the next morning, everyone ate steamed buns and drank lean meat porridge.

"Everything that involves flying into the sky must be eaten with steamed buns." Li Yi explained to the four people.

The four of them didn’t understand why they had to eat steamed buns when flying into the sky?

"Tradition, we must inherit fine traditions." Li Yi added, don't ask.

"There are two things today, which are the latest scientific and technological achievements of our Datang Dynasty so far. One is a weapon, the gun that Lao Bi mentioned. The other is a triangular glider, which can make people fly down slowly from high altitudes."

Li Yi told the four people two things and asked them to choose which one to look at first.

"Gun!" Bi Gou and Wei Zhigu said at the same time.

Song Jing nodded, he didn't care, just shoot.

Everyone knows what a gun is. Li Yi had one. It was very powerful. He took it to Songzhou with Guo Ziyi and killed many young and middle-ranking generals in the Tibetan army.

Now that I have made it myself, I can equip the army and take a look.

After the meal, a group of people slowly walked towards the shooting range.

Guo Ziyi and Hao Lingquan were waiting at the shooting range, with a long cloth bag placed next to them.

Guo Ziyi nodded to Li Yi, everything was ready.

Li Yi picked up the bag, untied the rope, and took it off, revealing the heavy rifle inside.

"This flintlock gun with a paper-cased lead bullet in the rear and a spiral bore on the inside of the barrel has spanned countless years of technological development."

Li Yi held the gun and introduced that it was indeed not easy. Rifling was a specially manufactured equipment.

The steel pipe is hammered out, not cast. There are too many trach holes in the casting, and the inside of the barrel is not smooth.

The key is that it is easy to have perforations and fractures in the trachoma parts, and then the chamber will explode.

"Xiao Yi, how does it compare to your gun?" Bi Gou came over and touched the gun. It was very cold.

"My sniper rifle? Technically, there is a world of difference. Shooting from a distance of sixty feet makes no difference.

I can never shoot a hundred of these guns with one gun, because the bullets of this gun are lethal to me at that distance."

Li Yi raised the gun and took aim. It was so heavy that his arm couldn't bear it for a long time.

"Can it hit sixty feet?" Song Jing was interested in the distance. Sixty feet was much more than a hundred steps, and ordinary bows and arrows couldn't hit it.

"Hit the eye even from a distance of eighty feet. It depends on how much gunpowder is installed. Add more, one hundred feet.

It's just that it's not accurate at long range, much worse than my gun.

If I stand at a distance of 200 feet and face a hundred people with my gun, I will be able to snipe them to death.

For this gun, I have never made a flash cap, nor have I developed a firing pin primer.

One minute...a quarter of an hour can fire between ninety and one hundred and twenty shots, which is faster than a normal archer."

Li Yi emphasized "normal" and looked at Guo Ziyi next to him.

Guo Ziyi nodded in agreement, it was indeed fast.

Hao Lingquan said: "The distance is far, the distance is close, the archer is fast, it depends on the power of the bow.

If you are fast, you may not be able to penetrate armor. Even if you shoot at the enemy at close range, the enemy can still kill you with arrows stuck in their body.

The distance, the power of the bow, the aim, and the opponent's equipment all affect the outcome of the battle."

Su Ting also came over to touch the gun: "The biggest advantage is the long range?"

"No, the biggest advantage is that the arm will not be strained and it can be fired continuously. The archer will not be able to draw the bow if he shoots too much, and at the same time, the aim will gradually decrease."

Guo Ziyi said from his own experience that he likes to use a bow, but ordinary archers cannot bear it.

Li Yi took over: "The other is that the training speed is fast. In an emergency, you can teach how to shoot a few shots, so that ordinary people can shoot on their own."

"Take a dozen and see." Wei Zhigu didn't want to hear it anymore and wanted to see the actual operation.

So Li Yi gave the gun to Guo Ziyi. The gun belonged to Guo Ziyi, and it was in Guo Ziyi's hands within a few days.

Guo Ziyi has been practicing and has knocked out thousands of bullets.

Li Yi didn't want to be embarrassed. He knew what kind of talent Guo Ziyi had in sports and was willing to train hard. This gun was given to Guo Ziyi and could be used as a sniper rifle.

Choose a good location and stand up the target. It is a human-shaped target with arms and legs.

The target was placed at a distance of thirty feet. Guo Ziyi took out the paper shell bullets, which were all in one piece, and removed the air-locking lever under the gun.

The air-tight parts of this gun are based on the Sharps Rifle Model 1859. The air-locking rod is moved down and the bullets are loaded from the back.

Then the air-locking rod rises up and cuts off part of the paper behind the bullet when it is closed.

The flint hammer for firing was lifted, and the trigger was carried.

Open the lid of the igniting gunpowder pool next to it, take a cowhide bag, pour a little gunpowder into the gunpowder, and put the lid on the box.

Point your gun at the target, turn your head to look at others, and be ready.

Everyone nodded and picked up their binoculars.

Li Yi said: "Left eye."

Guo Ziyi raised the gun, pointed the rear sight at the star, took aim, and pulled the trigger.

Three sounds of "click, click, click" sounded almost together, a puff of smoke came out, and the human-shaped target over there was shot between the eyebrows.

"The left eye was not hit." Guo Ziyi lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

Everyone: "..."

Li Yi nodded to express his understanding and told the others: "If Ziyi had used a bow and arrow, he would have hit his left eye. The accuracy of this gun is too poor."

"Rate of fire." Bi Gou didn't want to comment on whether it was accurate or not. The deviation was too small and he could hit the enemy just as well.

Guo Ziyi began to operate quickly, pulling the hammer, lowering the gas locking lever, loading the bullet, raising the gas closing lever, opening the medicine tank, pouring the medicine, closing the medicine tank, and firing.

Repeat continuously, and every time it is fired, the bullet hits the target person's head.

Li Yi counted the time, one minute, eleven shots, so fast.

"Okay, everyone, according to my calculations, if normal archery can hit the target at that distance in one minute, it will take about four to five shots.

Using this gun, he was proficient eight times and relatively proficient six times, not counting Ziyi. He was different from normal people.

Of course, if you practice this every day, most people can do it more than eight times.

The key is that everyone has seen it, it is very easy, just a few steps.

It's not very useful on rainy days. Unless you hold an umbrella, the gunpowder pool will lose its effectiveness when exposed to water.

Wait a minute, wait until I have time to make mercury fulminate. It's too dangerous and troublesome, so I don't want to make it.

It consumes a lot of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, alcohol, and mercury is worthless, and it will explode accidentally."

Li Yi refused to shoot. He explained that he could not shoot accurately with the same gun, but he designed the gun.

Bi Gou and others listened patiently. The steps were simple, and it didn't seem complicated to look at the gun.

"Li Yi, this gun is easy to imitate. If the Tubo people get their hands on it..." Song Jing frowned, fearing that others could easily get it.

"It's a good imitation? How can it be a good imitation? Do you know how many parts it has?"

You see there are few parts on the outside, but there are many on the inside. Just one spring would tire the Tibetan craftsmen to death.

There are also steel pipes. If I don’t tell anyone, Tubo can only use cast iron.

They didn't even know the ratio of the gunpowder. It was all granular gunpowder.

They know how to pull the rifling? They don’t even know what the rear sight and front sight are for. Now I..."

Li Yi talked about the difficulty of manufacturing this gun. The warhead of the bullet is a technical task.

The mine bullets made of lead were similar to the air rifle bullets he used to shoot birds at that time.

The difference is that air guns use this type of lead bullets to be propelled by air and do not need to add anything.

There is a pointed cork in the current one-piece bullet. After firing, the cork fixes the lead bullet and becomes larger. Then it perfectly integrates with the rifling and spins out.

"Do you understand?" Li Yi asked after finishing speaking.
