The First Family of Tang Dynasty

, the fastest update to the latest chapter!

In the gunpowder weapon casting and forging workshop, Li Chengguang, the firearms commander of the Firearms Department, is now reaching here.

The scale of this casting and forging workshop next to Jiahe is not small. There are hundreds of craftsmen who are busy.

On the banks of the Jiahe River stood tall waterwheels, rotating slowly, and with the rotation of the waterwheel, it drove those huge bellows or other machinery to operate.

At this moment, an artillery has completed the demoulding work, and the follow-up processing is being carried out at this moment.

Not far away, those pig iron molds that have been used have been inspected by the old craftsmen. If they are confirmed to be in good condition, they will continue to be used. If the molds are confirmed to be deformed or have other problems, they will be discarded directly, and then melted and recast. .

In front of Li Chengguang, there is a very heavy iron machine tool, but many parts on it are made of copper.

At this moment, this machine tool is slowly turning, a bright silver with several raised steel bars.

Through the mechanical movement, the slowly rotating steel rod resolutely moved towards a fixed iron pipe with a hole in the middle.

Wait until the top cone of the steel bar reaches the other end. Only then did it slowly retreat from the iron pipe.

After repeating this several times, even if the rifling of the barrel is fixed.

Although the speed is quite slow, at least the speed of using this machine tool to rifling on the inner wall of the barrel is much faster than manual work.

You must know that the Eighth Route Army at that time was all rifling by hand. Datang was able to use machine tools to rifling, which seemed to be very advanced.

Li Chengguang can be regarded as the second person in the Tang Dynasty gunpowder weapons. Well, in addition to Cheng Sanlang, he also has a strong research spirit in the design and production of firearms.

After getting the design idea from Cheng Sablang, Li Chengguang gathered a group of craftsmen, repeated experiments, and finally came up with such a machine tool.

With the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty, and after repeated tests, such a rifled barrel can withstand repeated firing for more than 400 times without exploding.

It can be said that the quality is much better than those short flintlock pistols given to Cheng Sablang before.

Just outside Li Chengguang's workshop, in the distance, there is always a dense sound like fried beans.

However, no one paid any attention to the craftsmen whose voices had been numb during this period of time, and continued to do their own things.

The large number of Cheng family members have been practicing over there for a while every day. The drills of skirmish line shooting, two-stage strikes, and three-stage strikes seem to be quite standard and proficient.

Every time he saw the scene of those flintlock guns volleying, Li Chengguang was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

It was just a pity to Li Chengguang that His Majesty did not come here to appreciate this weapon that could change the times.

At this time, Cheng Chubi had already led a vote of martial arts disciples and rushed here with Li Ji, the famous British general of the Tang Dynasty who was not very happy.

#####

Cheng Chubi and others walked outside the gate of the workshop, and they turned over and dismounted. There were soldiers and horses guarding the gate of the workshop.

After all, the things researched and produced here can be said to be good treasures far beyond the level of technology in this era.

Li Shimin sent Li Chengguang over immediately after receiving the news that Cheng Sanlang was building a large-scale cannon here.

At the same time, a battalion of people was dispatched to be responsible for the safety of the workshop and to prevent leaks.

The group walked in and not long before they met Li Chengguang who hurried over after receiving the news.

Under the guidance of Li Chengguang, Cheng Chubi and his party passed through most of the workshop and came to an open space.

At this moment, there are about 100 generals of Cheng Mansion's personal soldiers gathered here, and these Cheng family members who have just finished their practice are wiping the flintlock guns in their arms.

While bragging there, I saw Cheng Saburo and the others walking quickly.

A group of people stood up to greet each other, and saw that each of these guys had a large black face on their face.

And they are all copying a strange combination of metal and wood with a rather strange appearance.

Li Ji couldn't help but feel suspicious, and strode to a

In front of the Cheng family, he pointed to this thing, which was useless no matter how you looked at it, and asked.

"Cheng Saburo, is this the baby you said?"

Cheng Chubi reached out and took a flintlock pistol from a Cheng family member. This was not the kind of primitive flintlock pistol.

Who is Cheng Chubi? Datang's top gunpowder weapons expert must be sophisticated.

Besides, gunpowder weapons, why should I step by step?

If that's the case, then it's better for everyone to start with the burst gun, play it for a hundred or two hundred years, and then arrange for the three-eyed gun.

As an excellent Cheng Saburo, who has countless excellent resources in his hands, it is naturally impossible to follow that routine.

In addition, Datang itself now has hydraulic and human-powered machine tools, so Cheng Sablang decided from the very beginning that he would make a rifled flintlock gun.

To this end, Cheng Saburo used the most representative one among the rear-loading flintlock guns he knew as the benchmark.

I believe that everyone who has known the history of the flintlock gun should know that the Ming Dynasty firearms scientist Kou Zhao Shizhen absorbed the advantages of the European Lumi gun and the Flang machine and developed the Zhidian system by himself.

And that thing is still a matchlock gun, Cheng Chubi is playing with a flintlock gun, and with this kind of bullet-shell-like sub-gun to do it, it's not too perfect.

Maybe someone said, is the bullet casing that easy to do?

Please, now that the coins of Datang have used stamping machines, how difficult can it be to stamp brass into bullet casings with a stamping machine?

Besides, Cheng Saburo is also very clear that copper is a strategic material, so each flintlock gun is only equipped with fifty bullets.

After all, the bullet casing is to be retracted to reload the gunpowder and the warhead to be used again.

One of the biggest advantages of this rear-loading flintlock gun is that the reloading speed is much faster than that of the breech gun.

Cheng Saburo personally tried this kind of gun before, sixteen breaths, that is, in about a minute, Cheng Saburo can reload and shoot seven or eight times.

After all, this is a flintlock gun, which is still different from a real rear-loading bullet. I believe that after being proficient, it is no problem to shoot ten times per minute.

The downside is that the gap between the gun and the barrel will cause too much gunpowder and gas to leak out, so the Cheng family members only need to practice a few times, and their faces will be a little discolored by gunpowder smoke.

But is this something to worry about? The big deal is to add a pair of flat glasses to each gun to solve this problem perfectly.

Perhaps it is because of the poor airtightness, so its range is not as far as imagined.

However, trained shooters can at least keep aiming and shooting within fifty or sixty feet.

For objects with a radius of three feet, the hit rate can reach 30%. What bike do you want?

Cheng Chubi deftly pushed the bolt out, looked at it twice, and pressed it back again.

"Uncle guessed it well. It's this thing. Don't look at it's appearance. It seems inconspicuous, but in fact, its killing distance is far higher than that of ordinary bows and crossbows."

"At a distance of fifty meters, you can basically hit wherever you want. Even my Tang-style Mingguang armor can't stop a single blow at all."

"Fifty zhang?" Hearing this description, all the disciples of Tang Wuxun, including Li Ji, couldn't help but raise their brows.

Datang has a standard for the effective range of bows and arrows, that is, the effective range of infantry shooters is about sixty steps, and one step is almost one-half of one zhang.

In other words, the range of an infantry archer's bow and arrow is about thirty feet.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui, who had also reached here today, couldn't help raising his thick eyebrows, and whispered a little unconvinced.

"Fifty zhang, if someone uses a heavy arrow, he can pierce through iron armor."

When Cheng Chubi heard this guy's arrogance, he was immediately stunned, considering that this guy was still the talent of the Tang Dynasty that he focused on training.

Therefore, Cheng Chubi didn't show his anger or anger, but hehe laughs, his eyes swept over a vote of martial arts disciples.

"Old Xue, your archery skills are very strong, but I don't know if you have encountered archery and unique masters since you joined the army?"

Xue Rengui, who had a bow on his horse's **** all day, laughed, and shook his head with his head held high confidently.

"The last general has been in the army for several years, but so far in archery, he has not met an opponent.

. "

Hearing this, Li Qi and Li Siwen, who were among the martial arts disciples who were also quite accomplished in archery, could only roll their eyes.

There's no way, it's nothing compared to nothing, everyone is an adult, there's nothing to be ashamed of.

"Since that's the case, why don't we come and draw today, how about asking you, Lao Xue, to draw and draw with me?"

"You use your strong bow, I use this thing, let's try it out, how about a distance of fifty feet?"
