I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 448
Chapter 448
After checking the shooting effect of fifty steps, the shooting test of one hundred steps and 150 steps was carried out.

Of course, the next two shots were not taken by Meng Chen himself.

Although Mengchen really wanted to do this, Liu Bowen and Wei Zheng firmly opposed it.

In the end, this heavy responsibility fell on Li Cunxiao's shoulders.

"Bah!" The second shot came out, Li Cunxiao scratched his head helplessly, the shot actually missed the target.

"Hahaha, let's shoot again." Meng Chen laughed out loud. It is normal for Li Cunxiao, a new weapon like the bird gun, to have such performance.

Ma Jun took over the shot gun, first cleaned up the residue in the barrel, and then skillfully started a series of reloading, the whole process was done in one go, apparently after numerous contacts.

The loading of the bird gun generally requires the following steps:
The first step is pouring, that is, pouring gunpowder from the canister into the tube.

The second step is charging, pouring gunpowder from the muzzle into the barrel.

The third step is to press the fire, and use the stick that comes with the gun to compact the gunpowder in the chamber.

The fourth step is to load the bullet, take out the projectile and put it into the gun chamber, and then press the projectile into the gunpowder with a stick.

The fifth step is to load the door medicine, pour the gunpowder in the powder tank into the fire door of the medicine chamber, fill the medicine chamber to make it connected with the gunpowder in the gun chamber, and then cover the fire door to prevent damp.

The last step is to load the match, which is loaded into the tap clamp of the trigger, ready to fire.

After completing the above steps, the preparations are complete, and the shooter is now in a state of being ready to go.

When shooting, you need to open the fire door cover, ignite the matchlock, aim and pull the trigger in a squatting or standing position to launch.

In case of an emergency, you can also directly ignite the fire door without aiming at it, but of course such a hit rate cannot be guaranteed.

Bird guns are firearms, so there are disadvantages such as being easily affected by wind and rain when igniting, and having to keep the tinder when lighting the match.

Ma Jun is naturally aware of these situations, but in the current situation, Ma Jun will not raise it hastily, otherwise it will not be worth the loss if Meng Chen's interest is swept away.

Soon, Li Cunxiao fired again, this time hitting the target at 150 paces, but the projectile fired by the bird gun could not penetrate the armor on the target.

In other words, the effective lethality of the bird gun is within a hundred steps, which is still different from Meng Chen's expectations.

But under the current technical conditions, it is not easy for Ma Jun to make a bird gun.

"Deheng, although the bird gun has been made, it is not what I want, and it still needs to be improved as soon as possible." Meng Chen was not distracted by the joy. Unable to mass produce.

"Your Majesty's words are correct. The blunderbuss in front of me can only be regarded as an experimental product. It is extremely complicated to build, and the large-scale equipment consumes a lot of money. What's more, firearms are affected by wind and rain, and many areas need to be improved." Ma Jun nodded and said.

"Okay! Deheng knows it well, so I don't worry, let's continue to improve!" Meng Chen said a good word, and then patted Ma Jun on the shoulder.

Before the technology is fully formed, Meng Chen will never rashly equip the bird gun. Although he really wants to lead a team of musketeers to the west, it is a good wish after all.

"Your Majesty, compared with the bird gun, the imitation of the Hongyi cannon is much better." After Meng Chen's voice fell, Ma Jun immediately announced another piece of good news.

"Oh? The Hongyi cannon has also been imitated successfully?" Meng Chen asked in surprise.

Hearing the words, Ma Jun nodded. When delivering the news today, he only focused on talking about the bird gun and completely forgot about the Hongyi Cannon.

Fortunately, it is not too late to say it at this time, or it can be said that it gave Meng Chen an unexpected surprise.

Meng Chen pondered for a while, then looked at Ma Jun and said with a smile: "So, the three-eyed gun also succeeded?"

"Your Majesty is wise, the successful imitation of the Hongyi cannon is thanks to the production of the three-eyed blunderbuss. Your servant got inspiration from the three-eyed blunderbuss, and thus succeeded in imitating the Hongyi cannon." Ma Jun scratched his head in embarrassment.

Compared with the bird gun and the Hongyi cannon, the three-eyed gun was the first to be successfully manufactured, but it was also the only firearm that Ma Jun had forgotten.

To put it simply, the three-eyed blunderbuss is a reduced version of the Hongyi cannon, and its range is naturally not comparable to that of the Hongyi cannon, but the damage of the three-eyed blunderbuss at close range is not less than that of the bird blunderbuss.

Moreover, the three-eyed gun can only be fired once, and it is obviously impossible to reload it in close combat.

However, by virtue of its own weight, the three-eyed gun can be used as a weapon after the shooting is completed.

Imagine that when the cavalry of the two sides confront each other, the side holding the three-eyed gun fires a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time to kill the cavalry of the opponent at close range, which can completely disintegrate the offensive of the cavalry of the opponent in an instant.

After shooting, the three-eyed blunderbuss had no time to reload here, but the cavalry could use it as a weapon.

After all, the weight of the three-eyed gun with a length of 1.6 meters is there.

"Your Majesty, the Hongyi cannon is too powerful, so we need to go out of the city to test fire." Ma Jun stepped forward to remind him that if he tried to fire here, the entire Chang'an City would be thrown into chaos.

"Okay, take the three-eyed blunderbuss and two red barbarian cannons, let's go to the north of the city." Meng Chen waved his big hand, and then led everyone to go to the north of the city first. Ruishi is responsible for the delivery.

Half an hour later, when the two Hongyi cannons appeared, Meng Chen's eyes immediately brightened.

Compared with the previous appearance, the mount and wheels of the current Hongyi cannon have obviously been carefully designed.

"Four horses can only pull it? It would be great if you can reduce some weight." Meng Chen stepped forward to look at it carefully, and then muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty, this big guy gets the same treatment as a minister, how decent is it!" Wei Zheng said angrily.

As the saying goes, the emperor has six fights, and this big guy in front of him is pulled by four horses, which is equivalent to the treatment of the third prince, which makes Wei Zheng feel uncomfortable.

But anyone can see that Wei Zheng's words are not really angry, but a joke.

However, this made Meng Chen a little curious, when would such an upright person like Wei Zheng make a joke?
"Haha, the most important weapon of the country, Xuan Cheng is jealous of the virtuous and capable." Liu Bowen laughed, never expecting that Wei Zhengren would also start to adapt to this atmosphere.

"Hey, what's the point of doing the same thing?" Wei Zheng sighed and spread his hands.

"Good you Xuancheng, you are scolding me in a different way." Meng Chen smiled and cursed, but Wei Zheng's words gave Meng Chen a reminder.

In broad daylight, although the Hongyi cannon was wrapped tightly, it was indeed too conspicuous to be pulled by four horses.

"Xuan Cheng is right, it is indeed too conspicuous, it seems that we need to strengthen the secrecy work!" Before Wei Zheng could speak again, Meng Chen said thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wei Zheng bowed to Meng Chen, suspected of being flattering.
