Chapter 382 Jiajing Four-Zero Rifle

After Tong Zhilin visited, Lu Li immediately dispatched agricultural experts.

These agricultural experts brought the tenants of the Lu Family Village, cattle, and various crop seeds to the Zhujing Thousand Households in Tong Zhilin, and launched a vigorous spring ploughing production.

In addition to farming, the construction of Lu Li's "industrial zone" also requires manpower. He also invited many people from Tong Zhilin's Thousand Households to work and give money and food, which is a relief for Zhu Jing. The problem of food shortages for thousands of households.

When Commander Liu of Jinshanwei knew about this, he immediately found Lu Li and said, "We are all brothers, so we can't favor one over another!"

Lu Li immediately agreed that Jinshanwei's spring ploughing production would be carried out by these agricultural experts with a team. The seeds were also provided by Lu Li, and they also recruited workers from Jinshanwei. Those who work, they all want it, and they all give money and food.

As a result, Jinshanwei couldn't help being overjoyed, and was deeply grateful to Lu Li.

The progress of infiltrating Jinshanwei is much faster than expected.

Lu Li at first thought that after Tong Zhilin cooperated for a period of time, others would join after seeing the benefits, but didn't expect Jin Shanwei to be so poor, seeing a little bit The benefits can't wait to rely on it.

That's true... Orcs are never slaves unless they're covered.

In this way, Lu Li's box of pearls was continuously spent.

The money is flowing like water, but the progress of the work is greatly increased.

In addition to the manpower for agricultural production, in the industrial area of Lu Li, brick kilns, coking, ore dressing, iron-making blast furnaces, and even workshops all received a large number of manpower, various infrastructure constructions. keep accelerating.

Lu Li did not take care of the agricultural production. The agricultural experts after enlightenment, along with the tenants and Jinshanwei's staff, worked in full swing, without Lu Li intervening at all.

Lu Li focused his energy on the workshop area.

Infrastructure construction is indispensable. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of raw materials, Lu Li repaired the official road from Lu Family Village to Huating County, and also built a port terminal on the bank of the Jing River near the workshop area.

This building material has to be said about cement.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was actually a prototype of cement, which was called Sanhe soil.

When Lu Li saw the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty building roads and building a three-layered earth, he remembered... Cement is also an ultimate weapon!

The principle of cement is actually very simple, and high school chemistry can handle it. Lu Li, who has taken the top student in the college entrance examination countless times and even studied engineering, is not a problem to get a cement kiln.

Therefore, in addition to the brick kiln and coal kiln, a cement kiln was built on a hilltop of Lu Family Village.

Although there is still not enough steel to make reinforced concrete, but ... replace the steel with bamboo poles, it can be used, and the effect is not bad.

The emergence of cement has greatly accelerated the progress of infrastructure construction in Lu Family Village, and even saved money.

After arranging these infrastructure projects, Lu Li plunged into the workshop and started making guns.

The blast furnace produced the first batch of steel.

After sampling and testing, Lu Li confirmed that these steels are qualified medium carbon steels, with higher strength and hardness than low carbon steels, but not as brittle as high carbon steels. They are very suitable for making gun barrels. of.

When it comes to making gun barrels, many people's first impression is... drill!

Actually this is a very inefficient, and more complicated and difficult way to process.

The best way to make a gun barrel is the manufacturing method of "seamless steel pipe".

The blast furnace opens, the molten steel flows out, and when the steel is solidified, a series of rotary extrusion mechanisms are connected behind, just like rolling dough, rolling the red steel into a steel rod.

When the reddish steel is rolled into a steel rod, the end of the rotating extrusion mechanism is rotated to extend a core bar. These reddish steel rods continue to be rotated and squeezed, and the core rod is in the middle of the reddish steel rods. penetrated.

Cut off and take off the core, it is a complete seamless steel pipe. Replace the next core rod, continue to rub the steel rod, and the seamless steel pipe is manufactured one by one.

The manufactured seamless steel pipe is cut and ground on the lathe for the outer circle, and the inner hole is cut and ground on the drilling machine. After correction, a barrel blank is manufactured.

And then...the rifling needs to be made.

Speaking of rifling, there are a lot of misunderstandings through seniors. I always think that rifling is difficult to process and difficult to manufacture. In fact, it is very simple.

Rifling is not drilled, nor chiseled, nor carved, but...pulled!

Fix the barrel with something similar to the core rod from which seamless steel pipe is made, through the inner hole. In this core, a slit is cut, a saber is installed on it, and a rifling is pulled out.

Of course, a mechanism should be designed to ensure that when the rifling is pulled, the core rod will rotate slightly, and the pulled rifling will be spiral.

For Lu Li, the processing of the barrel and rifling is easy, but the hard part is the bolt.

The rifles shot by Lu Li are more than 300 years ahead of the world in today's era, and they use a rifle design similar to that during the Franco-Prussian War.

The mercury ignited, the firing pin fired, and the paper-cased ammunition was fired. Except that it can't do metal bullet casings, it is no different from the single-shot rifle shooting method of later generations.

Pull the bolt, open the chamber, reload, lock the bolt back, pull the trigger to fire. This way of shooting, the rate of fire can hang the whole world, and it is not a problem to shoot more than a dozen shots a minute.

The bolt and chamber require high hardness and high strength steel. The main parts that bear the impact of the gunpowder explosion are the barrel and the bolt.

Fortunately, this is still not a problem. When adding a little manganese ore into the iron making, the strength, hardness, elasticity and toughness are enough.

Add more manganese ore, high manganese steel is spring steel, and the spring of the bolt is also solved.

Time passed, and by the end of May, the first batch of 100 striker-type rear-loading rifles had been manufactured.

In fact, the output should have been more, and the barrels are easy to process. There are already more than 2,000 barrels in the warehouse. It's just that the processing difficulty of the bolt and chamber is quite high. Even if there is a hydraulic machine tool made by Lu Li, there are not too many bolts and chambers.

On this day, Lu Li walked into the warehouse and saw a hundred steel guns in the warehouse, with a bright smile on his face.

With this kind of weapon that is more than 300 years ahead of the whole world, it is completely possible to hang the whole world.

"Have you checked the quality?"

Lu Li picked up a rifle, stretched out his hand and pulled the bolt, the polished and polished barrel, like a mirror, reflected the silhouette.

"It has been tested. All testing methods and procedures are accepted according to the quality inspection standards you gave."

Guo Dayuan, the master craftsman in charge of firearms manufacturing, answered quickly .

This Guo Dayuan was originally a blacksmith of Jinshanwei. He used to be responsible for making muskets, but... Jinshanwei was rotten into a pot of porridge.

At Lu Li, Guo Dayuan was finally able to give full play to his strengths.

"Have you passed the quality inspection?"

Lu Li nodded,"

I'll try the gun! Lu Li took another box of cardboard fixed-loading ammunition from the ammunition depot, turned around and walked to the shooting range opened up near the mountain forest.

"Sir, I'm ready to test the target!"

When he came to the shooting range, Guo Dayuan pointed to the target erected on the shooting range and said to Lu Li: "According to the test target, Mr. As requested, I have prepared a 100-meter target, a 200-meter target, a 400-meter target and an 800-meter target. A 10-millimeter steel plate was installed on the targets.”

Since this time, Lu Li The unification of weights and measures has achieved good results, at least Guo Dayuan, a craftsman of the Ming Dynasty, is already a mouthful of international units.

"Good job!"

Lu Li nodded, walked to the shooting position, and put the ammunition on a table in the shooting position.

Not starting to shoot right away, Lu Li observed the gun first.

This rifle has a total length of one meter two, a total weight of ten jins, and a caliber of 10 mm. Also equipped with the gun is a 40 cm long three-edged bayonet.

It looks decent, similar to the rifles used during the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces in later generations.

Don't know how formidable power is?

Lu Li pulled the bolt, took a paper shell and loaded it into the chamber, pushed the bolt to lock the chamber, picked up the rifle, aimed at the 100-meter target in front, and pulled the trigger!

“bang!”

A puff of gunpowder spewed from the muzzle, and the smoke column rushed out more than two meters.

Black powder is a big smoke. This is also impossible.

The recoil of the launch caused Lu Li to shake slightly, and the bullet that came out of the chamber roared through the air and slammed heavily on the steel plate of the 100-meter target in front.

Lu Li walked up to the 100m target with a gun in hand, and saw a hole had been pierced in the steel plate of the 100m target.

The formidable power is scary when 100 meters penetrate ten millimeter steel plates! Even an iron can with full body plate armor can be worn in pairs.

Next, Lu Li tested the 200m, 400m and 800m targets respectively.

The two-hundred-meter target also penetrated the steel plate.

The 400-meter target, the steel plate did not penetrate completely, and the bullet was stuck on the steel plate.

The 800-meter target, the steel plate has only one pit, and it cannot be penetrated.

But...it's already scary!

Effective range of 800 meters, what is the concept?

It's no wonder that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, Senggelinqin's 100,000 cavalry charged and was shot down by platoons of guns. The enemy only suffered a dozen casualties.

A cavalry charge requires at least one minute for a distance of 800 meters.

In this minute, the firing pin breech rifle can fire about fifteen times.

The original Eight-Power Allied Forces had 16,000 people. Even if only 10,000 people lined up to shoot, they could shoot 150,000 bullets in one minute! Not even guns!

The hail of bullets that hiding the sky and covering the earth will kill you if you touch it, or die if you touch it. It's no wonder that the charge of 100,000 cavalrymen was directly crushed.

If this battle between cold weapons and hot weapons can't reflect the formidable power of the striker breech gun, then change it.

During the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia used striker breech guns, while France used front-loading flintlocks. The end is... The French army of 600,000 was blown up!

Nowadays, with such a rifle that is three hundred years ahead of the world, it is enough to crush all dissatisfaction.

"Very good! Very good! It's a good gun."

Lu Li praised Guo Dayuan next to him: "Master Guo has worked hard and earned a hundred taels of silver. The rest of the craftsman's wages this month Doubled."

"many thanks sir!"

Guo Dayuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. It is really pleasant to work under Master Lu. No beating or scolding, enough money and food, and there are rewards from time to time. Such a hundred household officials are really rare.

"Sir, we have also made samples of the revolver you mentioned."

After thanking him, Guo Dayuan reported another good news to Lu Li.

"Oh? Come and have a look."

The revolver was also designed by Lu Li.

Although the revolver has shortcomings such as poor sealing and short range, but...it can fire continuously. This advantage is enough to make people ignore all its disadvantages.

Imagine, when the enemy braved the hail of bullets and rushed to the front of the army, ready to take advantage of the slashing, each soldier took out a revolver, and the "peng~ peng~ peng~" continued. A few shots, hehe!

This is to eliminate the enemy on the charge route without giving him a chance to get close at all.

A moment later, Guo Dayuan brought a revolver.

Compared to later revolvers, this revolver is much larger now.

The quality of steel and processing technology cannot reach the height of later generations, and there is no way to increase the volume and weight.

Lu Li took the revolver, weighed it, and weighed about three pounds. Not too heavy, about the same weight as the current flintlock handgun.

The ammunition is still 10mm paper case cartridge, but the charge is less than the rifle, and the size of the bullet is also smaller.

The ammunition capacity is only five rounds, and the revolver drum is also larger than the later revolvers.

Put the bullet into the revolving drum, turn on the hammer, Lu Li raised the gun and aimed at the 100-meter target in front of him, pulled the trigger "peng~ peng~ peng~ ", and hit the air with five methods. bullet.

With Lu Li's Spear Art, only two of the five bullets in the 100-meter target hit the target, and the other three bullets didn't know where to go.

And when the gun was fired, there was smoke and fire in the gap between the drums, which was far worse than the revolvers of later generations.

Re-adjust the target, the 50-meter target can accurately hit the target, the 30-meter target can semi-penetrate the steel plate, and the 20-meter target can penetrate the steel plate.

The effective killing distance is 50 meters, the armor piercing distance is 30 meters, and the killing distance is 20 meters.

Such formidable power is already very good for 1561!

"Let the escorts do a half a month shooting test. If there are no problems, they can be finalized for production."

Lu Li glanced at Guo Dayuan, said with a smile : "The rifle is named Jiajing 40-type rifle. The revolver...it's called a revolver."

Lu Li also casually said the stereotyped names of the two firearms.

In later use, the name of the Jiajing 40-type rifle was widely accepted, but the revolver was given a very "earth" name, called "five consecutive sounds".

In this regard, even if he later held a high position, the Great General, the top pillar of the world, could not be widely recognized by the people, and he would not be able to change the name.

Lu Li can only sigh, forget it, in this manner! The more soil, the more battle strength you have!
