Chapter 447 The Big Xia Version of the Bird Gun
Chapter 447 The Big Xia Version of the Bird Gun
When Meng Chen arrived at Jiang Workshop, Ma Jun and others were already waiting outside the door.

Liu Bowen, Wei Zheng, and Li Cunxiao who were summoned by Meng Chen also arrived here first.

It's not that Meng Chen and Meng's army walked too slowly, but because Meng Chen deliberately delayed for a while before starting.

Otherwise, it would be really unreasonable to let him, the emperor, wait for the minister.

"Your Majesty is welcome!" When they saw Meng Chen appearing, everyone rushed forward to salute.

But this time, Meng Chen didn't stop it, after all, it was in a public place, and there must be some etiquette.

"Everyone loves you!" Meng Chen raised his hands falsely and said at the same time.

When Ma Jun straightened his back, Meng Chen quickly stepped forward, grabbed Ma Jun's hand and asked, "Where is the sample?"

"It's on the shooting range, please come with me, Your Majesty." Ma Jun frowned slightly, Meng Chen's grasp was quite strong.

Perhaps sensing Ma Jun's strange expression, Meng Chen hastily let go of his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Hahaha, I'm so excited!"

Following Ma Jun's footsteps, everyone passed through layers of defenses and came to the shooting range.

Originally, various experimental weapons were placed here, but today they were all cleaned up.

In front of a table not far away, a group of Daqin warriors surrounded by three floors inside and outside.

Through the gaps in the crowd, Meng Chen could vaguely see a bird gun with a metallic aura on the table.

When Meng Chen and others walked in, the Great Qin Ruishi in front of him took the initiative to disperse, and then set up vigilance around the surrounding area.

Ever since Mengchen ascended the throne, Daqin Ruishi has taken over the defense of the artisan workshop.

Among other things, at least the loyalty of Daqin Ruishi is enough for Meng Chen to use it with confidence.

When he came to the table, Meng Chen held up the bird gun with trembling hands.

On the whole, the workmanship of this bird gun is rough, but it does not affect Meng Chen's excited mood.

Holding the blunderbuss, Meng Chen carefully sized it up.The entire bird gun is nearly 2 meters long, and the barrel is made of fine steel, which is then fixed on a wooden butt.

In terms of structure, the bird gun is composed of the barrel, gunpowder pool, bolt, front sight, and handle.

The distance of the bird gun is to use the pre-ignited match and pull the trigger to drive the match to ignite the compacted gunpowder in the gunpowder pool, and use the explosive force of the gunpowder gas to shoot the lead bullets in the barrel to kill the enemy.

In short, it's an arquebus!

Although there is still a huge gap with the flintlock, at this moment, it is not easy to manufacture as the first firearm that can be installed.

"Has there been a trial shot?" Meng Chen had a happy expression on his face. As soon as he said this, he felt stupid. If Ma Jun hadn't tried shooting, he would never have reported it to Meng Chen.

"Since the first shot, I have been trying to shoot, and the chamber has exploded countless times during the period. If His Majesty hadn't reminded me, I am afraid I would not see His Majesty today." When Ma Jun said this, his expression was a little excited, and his heart was full of excitement Meng Chen is full of gratitude.

Meng Chen was a little speechless, his inadvertent reminder saved Ma Jun's life unexpectedly.

"Are there any casualties?" Meng Chen asked suddenly.

"Yes, but life is safe!" Ma Jun said with a serious face.

Meng Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Firearms are a double-edged sword. Although the lethality is huge, the risk in the process of development is also great.

"How about this bird gun?" Meng Chen continued to ask.

"After shooting more than 150 times, the bombing rate is extremely high. In other words, each bird gun can only be used up to 150 times." When Ma Jun said this, his expression was serious.

Such a bombing rate means that if large-scale equipment of bird guns is used, the logistical pressure will be very high.

"Hahaha, well, I am already very satisfied to have such a level." Meng Chen laughed out loud for a while.

This bird gun is an experimental product, even if it is manufactured, it does not mean that it will be produced and equipped on a large scale immediately.

After all, too many tests are needed before large-scale installation.

"What's the range?" Meng Chen asked casually.

"It's similar to a bow and crossbow, but it's more lethal. It's not a problem to shoot through armor within fifty steps." Ma Jun replied a little excitedly.

But such data made Mengchen a little disappointed. If a firearm had a range similar to that of a crossbow, there would be no need for a large-scale installation at all.

But the good thing is that this is just a sample made by Ma Jun and others. I believe that if you spend a certain amount of time to improve the process, there will be a satisfactory result for Meng Chen.

"Let's try shooting!" After all the questions that should be asked, Meng Chen couldn't wait to ask for a test shooting.

Ma Jun who heard the words was also unambiguous. After all, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It was not easy for Ma Jun to be able to cook this stuff.

Following Meng Chen's edict, Ma Jun immediately began to skillfully reload, but was stopped by Meng Chen when he fired at the end.

"This shot, I will personally come."

As soon as this remark came out, the people present immediately burst into flames, not to mention whether the chest would explode, but the rate of explosion that Ma Jun said just now made the rest of them terrified.

"No, Your Majesty!" Liu Bowen, Wei Zheng, and Li Cunxiao stopped it at the same time, but Meng Chen waved his hand.

"I, believe in Deheng!" Although this sentence is only a few short words, it is indeed the biggest pitfall for Ma Jun.

After some skillful operations, Ma Jun ignited the fire rope of the bird gun, and then handed it to Meng Chen.

In order to avoid accidents, Ma Jun explained the problems encountered in the experiment in detail.

Especially when aiming, if one is not good, it will get eyes!
"Okay, you all retreat three steps, I'm going to try shooting!" Meng Chen said to everyone with a smile, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind, he raised his blunderbuss and aimed at a distant target.

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound, and a puff of smoke came out from the gunpowder pool of the bird gun, which made Meng Chen wave his hand hastily!

"Ahem, this smoke is too choking!" Meng Chen said to himself, then raised his right hand and rubbed his eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Everyone was surprised for a while, deeply afraid that something unexpected would happen to Meng Chen.

"It's nothing, I'm nothing." Meng Chen waved his hands, but his eyes still couldn't be opened.

After a while, Meng Chen finally recovered. It was also his first time to use the bird gun, so he was still lacking in experience.

"Go and see the target." Taking a deep breath, Meng Chen said with a smile.

Seeing that Meng Chen was safe, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they came to the target, everyone showed surprise again.

At the target of fifty steps, a small hole was clearly exposed in the armor. Looking back along the hole, the target made by the straw man had been penetrated.

"Hiss!" Li Cunxiao gasped, whoever wanted to survive this blow was definitely a luxury.
