187. Test the musket

"As Xiao Chen wrote on the material formula, you only need 20 pieces of land crystals to make muskets. If you dig 100 pieces, you can say fifty muskets."

Shi Tou was very happy to hear this, and he said to Xiao Chen, "But you must make me the best one. I am the most powerful and the farthest in the world." Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, "This is no problem at all. I guarantee that all the weapons I make are high-quality weapons, and they are definitely not fake products."

The mining activity finally ended. Everyone returned to the village triumphantly. This time they gained a lot and dug up nearly 300 yuan. Recently, Xiao Chen's system was 180 yuan. In order to reward these villagers, Xiao Chen had to go to the riverside, then caught a lot of jumping fish, and then stewed fish soup for everyone to eat. The villagers were very happy. For them, Xiao Chen's fish soup was extremely delicious and more attractive than the powerful musket.

After the end, everyone went back to rest. Xiao Chen returned to his little secret. Now the materials have been collected completely. He wants to produce a weapon. These materials are placed on his table and then stretched out a hand to feel. On these materials, a system picture appears in his mind. He threw out the formula design drawings for making rockets. 1,100 pieces. The materials on the table emitted a slight light. Then, they gradually merged together and turned into a musket. But they have not completed it with you yet. I am waiting for a few minutes. The first time I made a musket, so the efficiency is relatively low and the time is relatively long, but the result is still good. The musket has not been done.

There are any problems. The shape is exquisite. It looks like the new protective wall is suitable as if it was specially customized for him. I was going to make the sun or this is super, no one planned to stay up late. The two days were too hard and very tired, so I lay in bed and quickly entered my dream. This was also a good sleep. There were no annoying female elf, Shi Tou and Ahua, and no one came to disturb him. Other cleverness, if you don’t get archived, it’s like you don’t dare to approach Xiao Chen’s sister-in-law casually. So, Xiao Chen pondered and slept until the afternoon of the second day, and after waking up, sometimes I felt full of energy.

"I feel so comfortable to sleep," she stretched her body on the bed, then got out of bed and washed her face and changed it, and then found some dry food to eat a little. The so-called turnaround means that the place where she usually eats has dried and turned into something like a pot crust. Then sprinkle some salt and you can eat it yourself. Xiao Chen ruled that it is like snacks. The only disadvantage is that the taste is not clear about barbecue, other flavors such as tomatoes, and everyone, everything. This disease becomes very hard. After moving it out, it needs to be soaked in hot water. Although the taste is a little worse, don't eat enough. It's good. Xiao Chen's requirements are also very low. He doesn't ask for big fish and meat. As long as his life is stable, he will be brilliant.

The musket was made, and Xiao Chen decided to take it out to test the power of the musket, and he still had a surname. Gunpowder was already available, but there was still a lack of bullets. Xiao Chen thought about it and had to choose a bullet with extremely high lethality. Otherwise, it would be soft and had no effect on the enemy. Wouldn't it become a waste?

The creatures in the Death Forest are all magical creatures. Sun Wenli has high defense power, some are even very fast, and can easily avoid the enemy's attacks on him. Therefore, this requires higher performance requirements for muskets. Not only should the bullet fire speed be fast, but it also needs a certain amount of penetration and armor-piercing power, so that it can cause certain damage to the life of the Death Forest, otherwise the musket will become a decoration.

Xiao Chen came outside the village to avoid hurting others. Here he could test the performance of the musket at will. Shi Tou and Ahua were also invited by him. The three of them found a target in the forest - a big tree. Xiao Chen drew a similar pattern on the big tree with 8 circles. Shi Tou was very curious and asked Xiao Chen, what is this? Why can't I understand? Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "This is, you see, there are several circles in this circle, and the circle is tied together. The circle in the middle is called the center of the circle, hit the center of the circle. Then, even if we hit the target, the further away from the center of the circle, it means that we are not sure that Ahua and Shi Tou can finish listening, and then we suddenly realized.

Now everything is ready, Xiao Chen starts testing what bullets are used to have better lethality. First, he stuffed the gunpowder into the barrel, then tucked the iron rod and fixed the gunpowder. At this time, Ahua and Shi Tou also found Xiao Chen. The bullets they thought were more suitable were a small stone, a small iron piece, and a hard little wood.

Xiao Chen directly eliminated the wood because the gunpowder will generate extremely high temperatures when it is fired, so the wood is not suitable for use as a bullet. Now the most suitable ones are stones and iron blocks, and stones can be seen everywhere, but their hardness is not as good as iron blocks. Although the iron blocks have good hardness and sufficient lethality, they are rare, and it takes a lot of time and energy to refine iron blocks.

Xiao Chen naturally wanted to use iron blocks, but he also knew that it was difficult to achieve the current situation in the village, production conditions, and iron ore production. Even if it could be produced, it could not be mass-produced, and only a small amount of supply could be guaranteed.

Therefore, he could only focus on the stones and take out a stone. Xiao Chen found that Ah Hua and the stones brought him many kinds of small stones, some were ordinary small stones, some were pebbles, some were mine managers, and some were not called him, and his name was 10 pieces, colorful and of different sizes.

Xiao Chen screened again and threw away all the stones that were too big, leaving only stones of the same size as the barrel, so that 10 pieces could be placed in light management. There is no way. This kind of musket is a relatively backward weapon compared to the weapons of descendants. The difference is too far.

Xiao Chen first tested an ordinary stone the size of a thumb cover. He put the gunpowder and then aimed at the target. He had never used a gun before. This time he just tried it and saw what he thought. What was his thought? As a result, when the gun was shot out, Xiao Chen did not notice the recoil problem and fell backwards all of a sudden. The small stone in his gun barrel was already under explosives and normal fragments in the barrel. Xiao Chen turned the gun over. Don't slam the gravel and landed on the ground from the barrel. Obviously, this kind of small stone is not suitable for bullets.

Xiao Chen shook his head and summarized the lessons learned this time. First of all, he chose the wrong bullet. This small stone bullet is too soft and has insufficient hardness, so it is not suitable for use as a bullet. Before, when using the musket, he had an incorrect posture and did not notice the recoil problem, so the recoil on the line of fire was so shocked that he fell.

After understanding these, Xiao Chen started the second round of tests.

The number is that he chose a relatively round pebbles. He used it as a bullet for a musket. Then, he had to pay special attention to the firing posture this time, and the recoil of the cargo compartment and other issues. He felt that he was ready. Xiao Chen aimed at the target and pulled the trigger. The trigger rubbed the flint, and ignited the gunpowder for the gun management. I was about to burst out. The bullet ejected, and then he heard a snap and hit the big tree.

Shi Tou hurriedly ran over, searched up and down, then turned his head and said to Xiao Chen in confusion, "Xiao Chen, there was no trace left on the big tree. Where did your bullets go?" Xiao Chen looked embarrassed. It was obvious that he shot away with one shot and did not hit the target at all. Shi Tou and Ah Hua didn't know, so he thought it was Xiao Chen who deliberately shot somewhere else.

Xiao Chen didn't want to explain this matter either, because it was too embarrassing. He just casually said and received, "I just tried it. The performance of the gun has not been hit on the board yet. I'll try it again this time and go to the target to see the effect."

After putting the pebbles in the gun again, aiming at the gun, and after the posture was correct, she felt ready to be safe. Xiao Chenzai carefully aimed at the target of the big tree with the barrel and pulled the trigger again. The pebbles hit the pins all at once, but it was too far from the bull's eye, so she could only say that there was no mop.

Shi Tou and Ah Hua both ran over to check the situation on the target. Xiao Chen saw the situation on the 8th floor from a distance because of his extraordinary physical fitness. His face turned red and he thought to himself that there must be no problem with the accuracy of the musket. Although the bullets of the pebbles are somewhat deviated, they are within a controllable range. Then the problem lies with me. The marksmanship is too stinky and I am not aiming accurately.

Xiao Chen blamed himself here, and Ahua and Shi Tou were excited when they saw the traces of being broken by pebbles on the target, and screamed. Ahua said to Xiao Chen, your weapon is really good, the power of the stone can actually hit several miles, very crowded, deep, if it hits a person, it may kill the person directly.

Shi Tou also smiled and said, with such a strong force, let alone hitting people, if it is a iron-toothed wolf, they will definitely be able to kill them with one shot. It seems that the accuracy rate is not high enough, but I believe that as long as you practice well, the problem will not be big.

Xiao Chen also walked over and nodded, admitting frankly that his marksmanship was indeed not good enough. He said to Ahua and Shi Tou, now I am testing it to see if I can find a better bullet replacement. Although the pebbles are a bit hard, he is still a stone after all. If he uses it for a long time, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand such a great impact.

Ahua and Shitou nodded, and then found more substitutes for Xiao Chen, but there were still various stones. There was no way. In the Death Forest, stones were the least short of them. However, after testing, Xiao Chen still locked in the three-tier bullets, which everyone referenced and used.

First of all, the first type is that pebbles are economical and easy to obtain, but the disadvantages are also obvious and the accuracy is not high enough. Because the pebbles' body is not regular and oval, its trajectory will change when flying in the air, causing users to be unable to grasp its normal trajectory.

The second type is a hard little stone. Xiao Chen didn't know what his name was. According to Ah Hua and Shi Tou, this little stone. Although it is difficult to find, if you look carefully, you can still find many of them. They don't know how to call this little stone. They just know that this little stone is light in weight and hard, and when they were young, they often used it as a bullet for slingshots.

This kind of stone can be found at the roots of big trees, but not all big trees are available. You need to search carefully. Sometimes you can’t find one of the big trees early, but sometimes you can stir-fry dozens or even hundreds of grams under a big tree.

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Let's call it tree stone," which is quite compatible with his situation, because he grew up under the stone."

Ahua and Shitou nodded. They thought that what Xiao Chen said made sense, so this second type of stone became the best choice for Xiao Chen so far to compare 10 pieces of pebbles. Of course, he is not as good as iron bullets, but the number of iron bullets is too rare. Not to mention, there are only a few iron blocks, ore stocks, and the smelting technology in the village, which cannot reach such a high level. It can be forged with bullets of the size of a little finger, thickness and length.

So, no matter which aspect, only tree stones are the most suitable for making bullets.

However, although tree stones are suitable for bullets, they cannot be used directly. They must undergo some transformation. The so-called transformation means to polish the tree stones into shapes suitable for use in muskets. Otherwise, stones of different shapes and different shapes are not suitable for use with each other.

Ahua and Shi Tou are confident about how to make good bullets, because they have done such a thing before, grinding the tree stone into a circle and then shooting birds with a slingshot. There is a special grinder in the village. Although it is very, backward and primitive, it is a hand-crank grinder, but it is still no problem to polish the tree stone.

Xiao Chen also went to see the grinder with them. He felt that stolen Yao was too hard and troublesome, and the efficiency was not high. So he thought about it all night and found a design plan, which was to use the modified grinder based on the original hand-crank grinder. He changed it into a foot-pedal grinder.

Although it is still very backward, there is no way to do this. Because there is no electricity in the village, Xiao Chen can only use this relatively backward method to transform the grinder.
