When a large number of steam engines are spread over various workshops, it will bring about a qualitative change in the production efficiency of this era!
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The head of the steam engine workshop and the craftsmen immediately nodded energetically.
After leaving the steam engine workshop, Li Ke also inspected other major workshops and scientific research departments.
Basically, they all have good research results, which makes him very satisfied.
After inspecting it once, he returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Dealing with some affairs accumulated in the past two months, the secretaries of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion have dealt with them before.
Leave some important business here and deal with Claws when he returns.
After processing these matters, ten days have passed.
And he also received the news that the gun workshop has produced a batch of parts.
Hearing the news, Li Ke's eyes lit up immediately, and he rushed to the gun workshop again.
As soon as he thought that the world's first musket was about to be born, he began to look forward to it!
PS: The third update! .
Chapter 260 The First Musket!Wanjun takes the enemy's head from it!
When he came to the gun workshop again, he saw the parts made by the craftsmen according to his design drawings.
These parts may be very strange and strange in the eyes of craftsmen of this era.
But in the eyes of Li Ke, a modern person, it was extremely familiar and extremely exciting.
Especially before he crossed over, he specially learned these structures and knowledge, and now seeing these familiar parts, he felt a special feeling in his heart.
The rear bolt, buttstock, trigger, front sight device and so on.
Brand new parts are quietly placed here.
It looks ordinary, but once these things are assembled, it will show the ability to reduce dimensionality in this era!
"Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission and manufactured all the parts you requested with precise dimensions."
The head of the gun workshop also reported to Li Kehui expectantly.
With the experience of artillery, they are very curious about this gun, which has the same effect as artillery, but has a much more complicated structure.
Since the cannons are so miraculous and powerful, what kind of power will this more sophisticated musket produce?
However, they don't know how to assemble these parts, and they don't know how to exert the power of these things.
So we can only wait for Li Ke to teach them.
"Okay, I will check first."
Li Ke also nodded expectantly, then picked up the parts and began to check them one by one.
In modern times, although he knows the drawings and structures, he cannot try to manufacture them.
After all, doing these things in modern times would be punished by law. He had other things to do at that time, so obviously he couldn't be caught in the police.
This was also the first time he touched the parts of the musket. He quickly checked it and found that it was similar to the toys he bought in modern times.
The various manufacturing techniques are also very exquisite, and it can be seen that these craftsmen also put their heart into creating these parts.
"Yes, you can experiment."
13 Li Ke nodded, and then began to assemble.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, of course you have to pull it out for a walk.
How these parts are made, assembled into a musket, you will know as soon as you shoot it.
He directly started to assemble it himself, and since he traveled over, he basically instructed others to do it.
But this time, he didn't command his subordinates for the musket, because he wanted to assemble the world's first musket with his own hands!
Li Ke was assembling, and many craftsmen on the side were watching and studying seriously.
After all, it is an extremely rare scene for Li Ke to do it himself. Of course, they should take this opportunity to learn quickly.
Otherwise, will Li Ke come to assemble every musket by himself in the future?
What do you want them for?Do you want to eat dry rice?
Li Ke assembled it proficiently, and would ask the craftsmen next to him to help him when he needed help.
Not long after, Datang's first musket was successfully assembled.
Seeing this peculiar musket, the craftsmen all opened their eyes wide, full of curiosity.
When Li Ke saw the familiar musket, his eyes were full of joy and anticipation.
"Where is the warhead? Has it been manufactured?"
Li Ke couldn't wait to test the gun, so he immediately asked the principal.
"It's been made."
The boss immediately asked someone to bring a basket of warheads, um, yes, a basket!
Anyway, this thing is also simple, just build a mold and die-cast it.
Moreover, the size and shape of each warhead are exactly the same, and there will be no jamming due to different warhead sizes.
"Let the people from the gunpowder workshop bring the nitrocellulose gunpowder, and then prepare the oil paper!"
Li Ke gave instructions to the people below.
Not long after, the nitrocellulose gunpowder and oiled paper were delivered.
Li Ke directed the craftsmen below to make bullets out of paper shells.
Make the cardboard into a cylindrical shape like a modern rifle bullet, with a conical shape at the front.
The warhead is placed at the front, and the back is filled with nitrocellulose gunpowder.
Because oiled paper is harder than ordinary paper and is very resistant to folding, it can keep the shape of the bullet well.
Secondly, oiled paper is moisture-proof, even if it is stored for a long time or transported by water, it is no problem to shoot in rainy days.
Li Ke asked the craftsmen to make dozens of paper shell bullets, and then he couldn't wait to bring the musket to the shooting range.
The shooting range is the place to test guns, and now you can naturally test guns.
"Go ahead and set up some targets, and put stickers on them."
Li Ke instructed the people in the shooting range.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The people at the shooting range quickly prepared some targets, and each target was at a different distance.
Near tens of meters, far hundreds of kilometers.
"Bring a string."
Li Ke asked someone to bring a string, and tied it to the trigger.
Just kidding, although the expectation is the expectation, but after all, it is the first time to test the gun, and safety is still the first.
Fix the musket, then pull the trigger, put the paper shell bullet in from the back, and then push the trigger again, and the paper shell bullet is firmly stuck in the barrel.
Then the bolt is rotated so that the back is completely sealed to ensure airtightness.
Now, just pull the trigger to fire the bullet.
Li Ke asked someone to hold the rope, and then he led a group of craftsmen back a few meters away.
"pull!"
Li Ke looked into the distance with the binoculars, and then gave orders to the man.
The man pulled directly on the rope, thereby pulling the trigger.
The firing pin of the musket pierced the oil paper from the bottom and hit the bottom of the bullet, which produced a spark.
It was this spark that completely ignited the nitrocellulose gunpowder in the paper shell, and then an explosion occurred!
A powerful thrust quickly fired the bullet out of the barrel!
"boom!"
Everyone heard a loud bang, and then saw a fleeting flame from the muzzle of the gun.
Then there was no movement, and there was no smoke!
You must know that there is thick smoke after the artillery is fired, which is the reaction after the gunpowder burns and explodes.
But it is amazing that there is no smoke after the musket is fired.
"A musket and a cannon do not use the same gunpowder."
"This is smokeless gunpowder. In the future, artillery can also use this gunpowder. The range and power will be greater."
Li Ke smiled and explained to everyone.
Immediately, he couldn't wait to come to the side of the musket, and let someone check it.
"Your Highness, this musket is completely fine."
Soon, a craftsman checked the musket, and everything was normal.
"it is good!"
Hearing this, Li Ke immediately nodded in satisfaction.
This undoubtedly shows that the musket is a complete success!
"Look where it went."
Li Ke picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance.
After all, it was fixed on the ground, so the accuracy must have been much worse, and it didn't hit any target at all.
"Use people to operate."
Now that the quality of the musket is determined to be good, it is natural to practice actual combat.
As for how to hold the gun and what posture to maintain, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have already trained it countless times.
Yes, Li Ke had used the content in the "Military Military Training Manual" before and asked Su Dingfang to train the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.
I didn't have a musket before, so I used wood as a simulated object to train the standard posture and various shooting postures.
So now that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion get the real muskets, they don't need to worry about other aspects except for the specific operation.
"Aim the target with this reticle and pull the trigger."
"There will be recoil and noise. You need to overcome this by yourself."
Li Ke briefly explained to the soldiers of Shenji Battalion.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion nodded expectantly.
The reason why the Shenji Battalion is called the Shenji is because their weapons are different from other troops.
The artillery was magical enough before, and now there is another musket, so they naturally look forward to the power of the musket.
Immediately, a soldier of the Shenji Battalion knelt on the ground with one knee in a very standard posture, and then began to aim at a distant target.
Once you're done aiming, pull the trigger with your finger!
"boom!"
There was a loud noise, and the soldier felt a push from his shoulder.
Fortunately, I usually train hard and have strong physical fitness, so the impact is not big.
After the soldiers finished hitting the target, Li Ke immediately raised his binoculars and looked at the target in the distance.
"Hit the 2-meter target!"
Li Ke clearly saw a hole in the target 2 meters away from the telescope.
