Chapter 678 Why Are There Scratches? (third change)

What, was this invented by the emperor again?Both Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were a little surprised.The two of them stepped forward at the same time, looked at the gun held in Bi Maokang's hands, and couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, a good gun!"

When Bi Maokang heard this, he couldn't help but secretly glanced at the Emperor Chongzhen, thinking in his heart that he was shameless, as soon as he heard that the emperor instructed him, he ran over and praised the gun, what's the advantage of speaking out if you have the ability?I don't believe it, the rifling is pulled inside the barrel, and the two of you can see through it at a glance?
If Bi Maokang really talked so much, Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou would definitely be embarrassed.However, although he is a technical official, he still has some common sense of being a human being, and he doesn't reveal it. He just turned his head to look at Emperor Chongzhen, waiting for the order.

Emperor Chongzhen also smiled in his heart, then nodded and said: "Bi Qing, let them open their eyes!"

Since Bi Maokang was able to take the gun so solemnly, he knew that Bi Maokang must have tested it beforehand, and he must have something worthy of praise for this gun, that is, the advantages he knew should have been verified.That being the case, give it a try.

After getting the order, Bi Maokang turned around and called his servant, and ordered the servant to start operating.Then he turned his head, smiled and said to the two watching generals: "I'm old, I'm getting old, I'm sure I have to do it myself."

"Your Excellency, what can you say!" Mao Yuanyi smiled and shook his head and said, "But it's better for them to do such rough work."

He spoke politely, but his eyes were fixed on the servant's movements.After watching for a while, Mao Yuanyi was suddenly surprised, what's going on?Why is the lead bullet so big? What kind of hammer is needed to hit the cleaning rod to send the lead bullet to the bottom.This... This loading method makes the loading speed too slow, right?
Mao Yuanyi couldn't help but turned to look at Zu Dashou beside him, and found that he was also looking over.Both of them saw the doubt in each other's eyes. Is this the improved version of the flintlock?

Mao Yuanyi couldn't figure it out, and turned to look at the emperor, only to find that the emperor was watching the operation with a smile, as if he didn't realize that the loading speed was extremely slow.

Seeing the confusion on Mao Yuanyi's face when he turned his head to look at him, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mao Qing, just watch!"

"The minister is impatient!" Mao Yuanyi was a little embarrassed, and after admitting it, she turned her head and continued to watch Bi Maokang's servant's operation.

Judging from the whole process, the difference between this so-called improved flintlock gun and the ordinary flintlock gun is that the lead bullet is actually bigger, which seems to be bigger than the barrel hole.This is the so-called improved flintlock?Just improved lead bullets!But if the lead bullet is a little bigger, can it be called an improvement?
Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were not the only ones who thought this way. Everyone else, including Li Dingguo, thought this way.They were extremely puzzled.But the emperor has already spoken, so we can only wait and see what tricks this flintlock can play!
When Bi Maokang's servants were ready, they walked to the shooting range and stood on time. The fusiliers standing in line beside them and the arquebus soldiers standing opposite them all stared at him curiously, trying to figure out what was going on. What's the difference?However, they were clearly disappointed!
But here, seeing Emperor Chongzhen nodding his head, Bi Maokang said to the nearby captain of Jin Yiwei who was driving beside him: "Go let them move the target twice as far away!"

The captain of Jin Yiwei who accompanied him naturally had some knowledge.Hearing Bi Maokang's words, he couldn't help being stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong, subconsciously, he went to seek the correct answer, and turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen.

Not only him, Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou standing beside him also had the same idea as him, move twice as far away, what do you mean?Can you still hit the target?This is impossible!

Just now, the fusiliers and arquebuses have been compared. As far as the current shooting range is concerned, the average hit rate is [-] or [-] in the nine. If it is doubled, hehe...

However, Emperor Chongzhen had a calm expression on his face, as if he did not surprise him, and nodded to the captain of Jinyiwei.

Now that the emperor gave permission, the captain of Jinyiwei immediately ran to the shooting range regardless of the exaggerated distance, and told a small flag in charge over there.Even though it was far away from here and couldn't hear what was said clearly, judging from the expression of that little flag, it could be felt that the little flag was also surprised by the request to move twice as far.

The fusiliers, Xu Wenbo and others, even expressed surprise on their faces.They even forgot for a moment that the emperor was looking at this side not far away, looked at each other, and found that the other party was the same as him, which meant that he had heard correctly.

Move twice as far, how could it still hit the target!Isn't this a calibration head, but something else to demonstrate?

The discipline of the arquebus soldiers was slightly worse than that of the fusiliers, and some of them even questioned it.Hearing that, Bi Maokang's servant turned his head to look at them, with obvious disdain on his face, and also a little complacency.

After a while, the distance from the target doubled, and everything was ready.Bi Maokang bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, then looked at Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, and said with a proud smile: "Look, two generals!"

Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou were suspicious. They turned their heads and saw that after an order was given, they started shooting, then reloaded, and then shot again. A total of nine target shots were completed.

The reloading of this kind of flintlock gun is really slow, even if Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou are generals, they can be calm.But at this moment, they felt that the nine shots took so long, and for the first time they felt a little impatient to wait.

After finishing the shooting, the soldiers of the Ming army on the target side raised their flags, which shocked everyone in the shooting range.The target has been moved twice as far away, but it is still the sixth in nine?This... This is simply blinding eyes!

"Your Majesty, the general wants to test the target!" Mao Yuanyi came back to his senses, and immediately bowed and played.

Emperor Chongzhen hadn't spoken yet, but Bi Maokang beside him had already said with a smile: "Even if President Mao doesn't say anything, I will have someone present the target to His Majesty for review!"

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was also in a good mood, he said with a smile: "Why, Mao Qing doesn't believe it, why don't I make a bet with Qing?"

As soon as he heard this, Mao Yuanyi immediately believed it based on Mao Yuanyi's understanding of the emperor, so naturally he didn't dare to bet with the emperor.After the target was brought over, it was indeed correct!
At this moment, the emotions of Mao Yuanyi, Zu Dashou and others were immediately ignited, and the two of them asked to lend them the improved flintlock gun for viewing.For this requirement, the two of them were naturally satisfied.

After some inspection, Mao Yuanyi finally found the difference, and he said in surprise, "Why is there a scratch on the inner wall of the gun barrel?"

"Hehe, the reason why this flintlock gun can hit far and accurately lies in the scratches, that is, the rifling." Bi Maokang said with a smile, "And this is what His Majesty instructed!"
