Chapter 45 Master Craftsman Zhao Tiezhu

Seeing Zhao Tiezhu's behavior, Ling Zhixuan also felt a little embarrassed. In order to avoid Su Li's misunderstanding, she explained to him: "Tiezhu's temper is like this. He doesn't like to talk. Usually he just works hard in the house. I often don’t talk to anyone for a whole day!”

But in fact, Su Li was not angry at all. After all, she also knew that those who have their own personality usually have more personality.And this Zhao Tiezhu is obviously that kind of person.

For example, the other party's mechanical leg looks very complicated, but its function is also very powerful. At least Zhao Tiezhu didn't feel any stiffness when he just walked, as if the mechanical leg was a real leg.

"Your mechanical legs look very delicate! You should have borrowed a lot from the designs of ancient construction puppets!"

The construction puppet Su Li mentioned is a kind of war machine made by mages in ancient times. It is a humanoid combat puppet whose body is made of metal and powered by magic power. Somewhat similar.Su Li also recognized that Zhao Tiezhu's mechanical legs borrowed some of the designs of those construction puppets after reading some introductions to these ancient battle puppets when he was searching for information in the library.

Seeing that Su Li actually recognized that his mechanical legs were based on the design of ancient puppets, Zhao Tiezhu's eyes lit up, and he finally cheered up, raised his head and replied to him: "That's right! But now about those Most of the information on constructing puppets has been lost, but I heard that the most powerful constructed puppets in ancient times were no match for even master sword masters!"

"Since it's lost, you can restore it yourself! After all, these ancient technologies were also researched by humans! Why can't our current people research them!" Su Li said. He took out the Ferguson rifle he had brought.

"Come on! Look at this thing, can you imitate it?"

Looking at the thing that Su Li handed over, Zhao Tiezhu carefully observed it up and down, and finally came to a conclusion, that is, this thing should be a weapon.

The fact is exactly as he guessed, and under Su Li's explanation, he also understood the method of using this weapon and understood its basic structure.

"No problem, it doesn't look too complicated, I can make it for you within three days!"

Hearing Zhao Tiezhu's answer, Su Li was also a little surprised. She emphasized with some worry: "Three days is too short! You must know that if this thing is not made up to standard, it will easily explode!"

"Don't worry! I still have confidence in my craftsmanship. For such a thing, three days is more than enough!" Facing Su Li's instructions, Zhao Tiezhu still said that he could make a Ferguson rifle within three days. , seem confident.

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Su Li couldn't continue to speak out against the other party's self-confidence. After agreeing with the other party for three days to get the gun, he left the City Lord's Mansion.

After staying in the pet shop for another afternoon, Su Li returned home. When she returned home, she found that Qin Tianzhu and Shen Jie were training hard according to her instructions, and among them, Qin Tianzhu was constantly holding up a dead dog. There are many barbells with hoops, and Shen Jie is practicing long-distance running around the yard.

Seeing that both of them practiced so hard, Su Li felt very happy. She thought that she had found the right person. These orphans knew that the good life was hard-won. Worked hard in training.

On the other hand, after Ling Zhendong finished his official duties, he heard from his daughter that Su Li asked his craftsmen to make a very strange weapon. He immediately became interested and went to Zhao Tiezhu to have a look.

It's a pity that Zhao Tiezhu is still making raw materials for making gun barrels, so even Ling Zhendong can't see anything.

The material that Zhao Tiezhu is going to use to make the barrel is naturally steel. He is currently forging a piece of iron. After repeated forging to remove the impurities in the iron piece, he can obtain a piece of steel. He can then use this piece of steel to roll into a barrel.

That's right, it's a rolled barrel. After all, the Ferguson rifle still uses lead bullets, and the chamber pressure is not high. There is no problem with using a rolled barrel. out of the barrel.

Since Zhao Tiezhu couldn't see anything famous, Ling Zhendong put this matter aside for the time being, and planned to wait until three days later to come and see.

As a result, only two days later, Ling Zhendong heard from his daughter that Zhao Tiezhu had successfully prevented the weapon that Su Li wanted.

Ling Zhendong also felt a little proud of this, after all, this Zhao Tiezhu is a craftsman under him, and his good craftsmanship will bring honor to him!

In order to verify whether the Ferguson rifle is qualified, Zhao Tiezhu is going to test it.

Ling Zhendong also came to visit the test after finishing his official business in the evening.Originally, Zhao Tiezhu wanted to test it himself, but Ling Zhendong did not agree to the other party's request for the safety of his own craftsman. Instead, he called a personal guard under him to conduct the test.

After reloading the Ferguson rifle according to the method left by Su Li, the guard held the Ferguson rifle and pulled the trigger at a humanoid target 20 meters away.

boom!The loud noise after the rifle was fired startled everyone on the scene, even Ling Zhendong, a well-informed city lord, was no exception.But then Ling Zhendong realized that such a loud noise might scare the enemy if it was on the battlefield!Especially for those enemy troops who have seen this weapon for the first time, such a loud noise will definitely greatly affect their morale.

Now I just don't know how powerful it is. If it's just loud but not powerful, then it's an impractical weapon after all.

As a result, when Ling Zhendong and the others came to the wooden humanoid target, they saw that the lead bullets fired from the Ferguson rifle had punched a large hole the size of a ping pong ball in the chest of the humanoid target, which was more than 20 centimeters wide. Thick targets were completely pierced.

"Hiss! This power!" Looking at the big hole made by the lead bullet, Ling Zhendong could fully imagine the terrible destructive power caused by this thing hitting the human body.

Next, in order to test the destructive power of this thing on armor, Ling Zhendong had someone put a steel chest plate armor on the humanoid target and let the guard fire another shot.

As a result, after one shot, the breastplate armor was not pierced by the lead bullet. After all, the lead bullet was too soft, and its armor-piercing ability was really not good. This is why the cone bullet was developed later.

However, although it failed to penetrate the breastplate armor, the lead bullet made an obvious depression on the breastplate armor. The huge kinetic energy from the upload damaged the internal organs.

In addition to the steel plate armor, Ling Zhendong then asked his subordinates to test scale armor, iron armor and other armors. As a result, these iron armors were all easily penetrated by the lead bullets fired from the Ferguson rifle.

"Good thing! If this weapon can be equipped in large quantities in the army, it will definitely improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers!" Ling Zhendong looked at the guard who had fired several shots, but still did not feel tired at all, and praised. road.

It's no wonder Ling Zhendong likes the Ferguson rifle so much. After all, whether it's a heavy crossbow or a bow, it takes a lot of strength to use it. For example, soldiers with relatively weak strength can't even draw the bowstring completely.And even for those professionally trained crossbowmen, after firing dozens of times in a row, their strength will be exhausted quickly.But this Ferguson rifle is different. Although the loading steps are still a bit cumbersome and the rate of fire is a bit slow, it doesn't take much effort to use it!Even ordinary soldiers with relatively small strength can use it freely.But the bullets it fires are powerful enough to kill an enemy wearing heavy armor. Such a cost-effective weapon will definitely be welcomed by the military.

However, although he liked this new weapon very much, Ling Zhendong did not directly donate it to the military on his own initiative. After all, Su Li came up with this thing. As a principled politician, he would not do it. These things of robbery and robbery.Even if it is to be dedicated to the military, it must be done with Su Li's consent.

A day later, Su Li came to pick up the gun as agreed, but was blocked by Ling Zhendong.

After some exchanges, Su Li understood the other party's intentions, so she readily agreed to the other party's request. After all, this Ferguson rifle was actually only used by her to test the manufacturing level of this craftsman from another world.The power is actually not very strong. If she really wants to mass-produce it, she will definitely not make this backward flintlock.That being the case, it would not be a problem for Ling Zhendong to dedicate it to the military of the Hanhai Empire.

Anyway, as the name of the country of Hanhai Empire, she has never thought about rebelling or anything. It is also a good thing to strengthen the military strength of her country.I just don't know if the generals in this other world will be willing to accept such a novel weapon. After all, not everyone is as wise as Ling Zhendong, and they can see the huge advantages of this Ferguson rifle.For some fools, they only look at the direct power displayed by the two weapons. In terms of power alone, the Ferguson rifle, as an old-fashioned musket that still uses prototype lead bullets, is not very outstanding. Easily outclassed by other weapons.More importantly, its rate of fire is still inferior to that of bows and arrows.

After obtaining Su Li's consent, Ling Zhendong quickly started to contact the military, obviously wanting to implement this matter as soon as possible.The border area has not been peaceful recently. It is a good thing to strengthen the soldiers of the imperial army as soon as possible, which can make border cities like Cannes more secure.
