Prince of Chaos

Chapter 317 The Lion's Big Opening

Dosma is really numb now.

When he picked up the flintlock rifle in his hand and looked at a pirate puppet seventy feet away with the scope, he was really shocked.

Although treasures like binoculars are precious, they are not impossible to buy. What's more, Duo Sima was once an officer in charge of firearms, so Duo Sima is no stranger to the use of binoculars.

However, it was the first time for Dosma to use a telescope like this.

When he saw the puppet seventy feet away through the scope on the gun stock, he instantly felt that the puppet was standing in front of his eyes, and Duo Sima also found that when he looked at the puppet with the scope Occasionally, he could clearly see a crosshair mark with some numbers engraved on it, and he also recognized these numbers, which were the Arabic numerals he was familiar with.

In Daming, this was the first time he had seen someone use Arabic numerals to mark the scale.

Duo Sima fumbled for a while, he didn't rush to shoot, he slowly let himself get used to the weight of the flintlock rifle, and also slowly got used to the data mark on the crosshair in the scope.

He didn't hold his breath until he felt about the same, and then pulled the trigger without distraction, and a bullet shot away in an instant!

With a bang, the head of the puppet seventy feet away burst open!
Zhu Changluo saw Duo Sima shot in the head, and he exclaimed: "Amazing!"

Duo Sima breathed a sigh of relief, and reluctantly handed the flintlock rifle to Zhao Shizhen who had been waiting for a long time.

When Zhao Shizhen saw Duo Sima shot the seventy-foot Japanese pirate doll headshot, he was also very excited, because he understood what it meant!
Shooting distance, effective killing distance, and aimed shooting distance, the difference between these three words can be described as worlds apart!

The shooting distance is the farthest distance the bullet can hit, which may be very far, but after reaching that distance, the force and inertia on the bullet have been exhausted, and the lethality has been lost.

The effective killing distance is the lethal distance of the bullet. As long as it is within this distance, even if the bullet floats and the trajectory changes, this does not hinder the lethality and danger of the bullet.However, there is a distance in this distance that the gunner cannot control the distance of the aiming head, so it is called the effective killing distance.

And the final aiming and shooting distance, that is the literal meaning, the greater the aiming and shooting distance, the greater the power of the musket!
Think about it, the aiming and shooting distance of a bird gun is about ten feet. If it is ten feet away, although the bullet is still lethal, it is up to fate where it hits.

However, the flintlock rifle in front of me, according to the crown prince, has an effective aiming and shooting distance of 150 feet. This distance alone has exceeded the longest shooting distance of many bird guns. When fighting against people, the opponent has almost no way to survive under this gun.

Thinking of this, Duo Sima felt both fear and excitement!

"Your Highness, please ask me to make firearms for you. I will dedicate all I have learned all my life to Your Highness!"

Duo Sima immediately knelt on the ground, begging Zhu Changluo, wanting to stay.

Zhu Changluo helped Duo Sima up, and said with a smile: "Gu also has this intention, Mr. Duo is a rare master of firearms, if Mr. Duo helps Gu, I believe that in the near future, Gu will definitely be able to create even more powerful guns." firearm!"

Duo Sima immediately replied excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Just when Zhu Changluo was happily subduing Duosima, which was an unexpected joy, Zhao Shizhen also fired a shot.

After Zhao Shizhen fired a shot, his whole body trembled with excitement, and a surge of joy rushed straight to the sky!

It turned out that he thought that the well-made firearms came from the Xiyi people who came from the sea.

However, it was different now, now he saw that the best firearm in the world belonged to Daming!

This sense of pride made Zhao Shizhen so excited beyond words!
Zhao Shizhen held his flintlock rifle and knelt directly towards Zhu Changluo, "I thank Your Highness for the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Changluo smiled.

Zhu Changluo helped Zhao Shizhen up, and said: "What does Mr. Zhao mean by this? Gu is the crown prince of Daming, or the supervisor of the country ordered by his father. It is Gu's bounden duty to serve Daming. Daming does not need to thank Gu, on the contrary, Gu You must spend your entire life protecting and dedicating to Daming!"

After Zhao Shizhen listened to Zhu Changluo's words, he was moved to tears.

"I made a slip of the tongue, Your Highness please punish me."

Zhao Shizhen cried excitedly and replied.

Zhu Changluo helped Zhao Shizhen up, and then asked Wang Shenqiang to put away the flintlock rifle.

Zhu Changluo said: "This is the first day of Gu's inauguration as the governor of Zhili. I originally wanted to conscript you to come to the governor's shogunate. However, the little eunuch sent couldn't invite you, a great god, so , Gu came to the door in person. Now, Gu and you can be regarded as meeting, Gu would like to ask you, would you like to go to Gu's governor-general's shogunate?"

Zhao Shizhen has also heard that the imperial court intends to set up a governor of Zhili, but he is a small official who is as big as a sesame mung bean, so he really doesn't know that the governor of Zhili is actually His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When he heard that the crown prince wanted to recruit him into the governor's shogunate, Zhao Shizhen was extremely excited, and he immediately replied: "Your Highness's kindness is as great as Mount Tai, and I am willing to support His Highness!"

Zhu Changluo said with great joy: "Okay, with Mr. Zhao's words, Gu can rest assured. I wanted to conscript you to the governor's shogunate, because I took a fancy to the book you wrote to the court. There are not many scholars in Ming Dynasty today. You can have such a profound research on firearms like you. When you arrive in the governor-general's office, you will be in charge of the firearms reform in the northern military town of Beizhili. In this regard, the Secretary of the Ministry of War will cooperate with you. You must Find a way to turn the military towns in the north into impenetrable fortresses!"

Zhao Shizhen accepted the order excitedly, "I will live up to His Highness' expectations, and I will exhaust all my life's knowledge to build a steel Great Wall for Your Highness!"

Zhu Changluo helped Zhao Shizhen up, "Then please Mr. Zhao."

Having harvested two firearms masters, Zhu Changluo was in an extremely good mood.

Looking at the sunshine outside, he felt extraordinarily bright.

"It's really a good time for spring and flowers to bloom."

Zhu Changluo couldn't help sighing that it was the season.

Just when Zhu Changluo was sighing, Zhao Shizhen asked a question from the side.

Zhao Shizhen asked: "Your Highness, how much is the flintlock rifle brought by Master Wang Shenqiang just now fake?"

When Zhao Shizhen asked this question, he obviously wanted to list this artifact.

When Zhu Changluo heard Zhao Shizhen's question, he also understood what Zhao Shizhen meant.

Zhu Changluo said: "Mr. Zhao, don't use the idea of ​​this flintlock rifle. It is meaningless. The cost of this flintlock rifle is too high to be suitable for the army. Its cost is more than the same weight of gold. It is several times more expensive, and the cost of a bullet is almost five taels of silver. Even a gold mine developer alone cannot afford to support this giant gold swallowing beast. It can only be used as a strategic weapon."

When Zhao Shizhen heard such a high cost, he almost jumped up in shock!
He really didn't expect it to be so expensive!

Originally, he was already mentally prepared for the extremely high cost of this gun, and he was just trying to persuade His Royal Highness to install this gun, even if it was five hundred.

However, after he heard the cost, he wisely shut up.

Because, this is really beyond his imagination!

Thinking of this, Zhao Shizhen couldn't help but sigh again, it's really a pity.

Seeing Duo Sima and Zhao Shizhen's appearance, Zhu Changluo said again: "Bringing the two of you alone, in fact, there is a task I want to give to the two of you."

Zhao Shizhen and Duo Sima looked at each other, and then replied firmly: "Please speak, Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "Now you can also see that the problem of musket flint hair has been solved by lonely firearms craftsmen. However, the problem of artillery flint hair is still a difficult point. , there are still some difficulties. Therefore, I would like the two gentlemen to study the issue of artillery flints in detail."

"There is another problem, which is the miniaturization of artillery. The artillery outside is powerful, but it is too big, which is very inconvenient to fight. I just want you to create a kind of gun that can be carried by one person. , a small artillery that can be carried by two people, and it is best to be able to disassemble freely. The shooting distance can reach [-] feet."

After Duo Sima and Zhao Shizhen listened to Zhu Changluo's request, they were a little confused.What kind of artillery is this?Is there such a light artillery?

In fact, what Zhu Changluo was talking about was a light mortar.However, due to the quality of shell technology and steel, as well as the level of knowledge and education of the workers in the workshop, the secret firearms workshop of Xishanhuangzhuang has not been able to be built so far.

Now, there are talents, and they are firearms talents with a wide range of knowledge and world experience.Zhu Changluo naturally opened his mouth like a lion, and asked them to study more convenient and effective mortars.

After all, this thing is the main force in future field battles.With the bulky field cannons outside, by the time the cannons were mounted, the enemy would either have run away long ago, or had already reached the front.
