Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403 Shan Fu
Breech-loaded guns using fixed bullets have low wear on the rifling by the bullet. As long as the technology is sufficient, the rifling can be completely machined, so that the bullet will rotate when it flies out, which is why it is called "accuracy", and it will not be like With a musket, which direction it goes can only depend on luck.

However, in this case, "smokeless gunpowder" is the third technology that needs to be pointed out-because the breech-loading gun needs to be loaded from the back, so no matter how good the sealing is, the user will definitely be fired when the bullet is fired. Spray smoke may cause eye burns or even burns.

If there is no smokeless gunpowder, you can only be a blind shooter. You don’t even need to use rifling, and you don’t even want to open your eyes to aim. What do you need rifling?
After the emergence of rifled breech-loading percussion guns, all the crossbows in Bai Tu's impression had to give way...

Even in Cheng Ji's world, unless there is a powerful fire speed BUFF like Huang Zhong, or a buggy repeating crossbow, the firing speed of the breech gun is nearly twice as fast as that of the bow and arrow, plus it is more lethal and consumes more physical energy. Low cost, low bullet cost, longer range...how to compare?
Cold weapons still have a chance against muzzle-loading muskets, provided they are well-trained and fearless in battle, but breech-loading guns... are simply bullying, and even the status of melee cavalry will collapse!
It is close to the infuriating crossbow after solving the energy supply problem, and the cost is not as exaggerated as the infuriating crossbow.

It's a pity that the existing data of Baitu can only support relatively primitive breech-loading guns in the world of Chengji. If you want to go further, the airtightness must be further improved, such as covering the gun bolt and other places that are prone to air leakage with rubber.

Well, rubber...

There is no fossil energy in Cheng Ji's world, so don't worry about artificial rubber. And now Gan Ning is still on the way to find Danzhou in the east. Before steam ships or zhenqi ships appear, Bai Tu doesn't want him to risk finding the Golden State. Naturally There is no source of natural rubber.

And Huang Yueying vowed that there is still the possibility of improving the Zhenqi Crossbow...

kindness……

Bai Tu was playing with the muzzleloader and Qi crossbow he received from Huang Zhong, while riding on his horse, thinking about these things, and was about to enter the city slowly.

At this moment, I saw a young man dressed in white, with a slight beard and piercing eyes. After noticing the white picture of riding a horse, he stared at it with scorching eyes. When he got closer, he wanted to step forward to stop him. …

However, Lu Lingqi and Huang Zhong, who were on the side, had already spotted him. The moment the young man in white moved his feet, Lu Lingqi had already pinched him on his neck!
"Stop!" Lu Lingqi shouted to stop the other party's movements.

The young man in white was slightly startled, but he was not panicked. Instead, he spread his hands calmly and calmly, indicating that he had no weapon and no malice.

Only then did Bai Tuye discover this scene. Seeing that this young man was fearless, calm and open-minded, unlike ordinary people, he said to Lu Lingqi: "Madam, don't be so nervous. Let's see if this gentleman has any advice."

Hearing this, Lu Lingqi quietly took back her halberd, but she still reminded her with some embarrassment: "Don't be indistinguishable between public and private. This is business now. Don't call me madam during the day. At night, you will... cough." Lu Lingqi realized that there were outsiders around, So he kept silent.

Bai Tuze continued to look at the young man in white with a calm expression and said, "Sir, do you have any advice?"

Seeing Bai Tu's calm and candid appearance, the young man in white was even more convinced that this person was by no means an ordinary person...

"I'm Shan Fu in Yingchuan. I just saw a noble man playing with a dangerous object. When I was young, I traveled in the mountains and learned the art of observing objects. I saw that this object was ominous, so I stepped forward to remind it." The young man in white...that is, Shan Fu, said and stepped forward. He bowed his hands to the white picture.

When Bai Tu heard that he called himself Shan Fu, his expression changed. He got off the horse and asked him, "Which one did you talk about, sir?"

Bai Tu doesn't know the reason for Shan Fu's observation skills, but from a consequentialist perspective, the evaluation of "evil objects" is correct, and... isn't Shan Fu the pseudonym of Xu Shu?Therefore, Bai Tu wanted to find out his background.

Among the people recommended by Mr. Pang De and Sima Hui, there is actually Xu Shu's name, but he also uses the pseudonym "Shan Fu". After all, Xu Shu committed a crime and fled to Jingzhou, so he usually does not use his real name, and Mr. Pang De did not know Where does Xu Shu live now?

"It's exactly this thing... If I'm not mistaken, this thing should belong to the five elements of fire. It can hurt people, but... it can also hurt itself." Shan Fu pointed to the musket in Bai Tu's hand.

Bai Tu didn't know at what level Shan Fu meant by injuring himself, but it was true that muzzle-loading guns were easy to explode, so he nodded and said: "Yes, if you say it is a vicious thing, this thing is indeed very dangerous. But using it with sincerity, kindness, benevolence, and virtue can also create auspiciousness for peace."

When Shan Fu heard Bai Tu's words, his eyes lit up slightly, and then he cupped his hands and said, "This is a blessing in disguise."

"No, sir, since you can see that this thing is very dangerous, is there any way to prevent it?" Bai Tu asked expectantly.

However, Shan Fu's ability to observe things is obviously different from what Bai Tu expected. Shan Fu just shook his head when he heard this and said: "Either put it on the shelf, or... as the noble man thinks at this time, with sincerity, Use it with kindness, benevolence, and virtue."

In the novel, when Xu Shu met Liu Bei for the first time, he also used the pseudonym Shan Fu, and as soon as they met, he said that Liu Bei's "De Lu Ma" was an obstacle to the master.

But the common view is that Xu Shu did not really know how to read horses and observe fortune, but wanted to test Liu Bei's benevolence.

Because Xu Shu's method for Liu Bei was to transfer the horse to others, and Liu Bei was not ashamed of this approach. Seeing this, Xu Shu revealed his identity and took the initiative to surrender.

It's just that... in the novel, Liu Bei had forgotten about this many years later, and when he was being plotted, he crossed Tanxi and helped him escape with his life. Therefore, when he entered Shu, he gave Lu to Pang Tong. As a result, because Lu's pure white coat was too conspicuous, Pang Tong fell behind in Luofeng Slope and was killed by random arrows.

This made Xu Shu's previous "testing" words seem to have come true.

and……

Normally, the musket Bai Tu was holding at this time should not be seen as a weapon in theory, but Xu Shu said it was a "vicious object" and said that the five elements belong to fire. Bai Tu felt that this was not a random fabrication.

It's just that Bai Tu was slightly disappointed when he heard Xu Shu's answer. Just now, he had some small expectations - it would be great if Xu Shu had any special ability and could predict the development direction of muskets... But now it seems that this is not the case. ability.

"Mr. Shan thinks that... sincerity, kindness and benevolence can overcome fire?" Bai Tu deliberately made it difficult for Xu Shu, wanting to see how he would react.

"No, the theory of the five elements of evil and good fortune is just a small way. Honesty, kindness and kindness are the true way in the world. If a noble person practices the right way, he will naturally not be afraid of bad luck." Shan Fu said calmly.

"Sir, you are so knowledgeable! I wonder if you would like to come into the mansion to discuss it in detail?" Bai Tu was very satisfied after hearing this and took the initiative to solicit.

As for self-reported identity?

Bai Tu felt that Xu Shu should have good eyesight and have recognized him...
