Chapter 11 The Birth of the Musket

Lan Nuo could see the craftsman's thirst for knowledge in Wenxi's eyes. He did not want to ridicule or slap him in the face. In his previous life, his country was able to rise from nothing because of such a group of great craftsmen, so he was not interested in such a craftsman. People are still very respectful.

"It doesn't have to be like this. My skills are indeed very raw. I specialize in the art. I'm good at using my brain. I don't have the accuracy with my hands. In fact, it's not difficult. You see, this is a vise. When the workpiece is fixed on it, it won't shake. ,Then……"

Lan Nuo introduced the functions of these equipments to Vincent one by one, and Vincent also carefully recorded them. For blacksmiths, these things are simply artifacts.

The most important thing is that after Lan Nuo took these things apart part by part, Wenxi was confident that he could use these equipment to copy a set of equipment that was exactly the same or even more precise.

He also understood why Lan Nuo was able to control the error so small despite his clumsy techniques. If it were him, he was confident that he could do better.

"I roughly understand that these inventions of yours are indeed genius inventions. The blacksmith profession will be reshaped because of you! If it weren't for the need to keep it secret, your inventions would be enough for you to have an elder's seat in the Blacksmiths Association!" Vincent was excited. The way.

Lan Nuo scratched his head in embarrassment. These were all brought by him from the earth and were said to be his inventions. He really deserved it.

"Tell me the specifications of the parts you want, and I'll try them out!"

After hearing this, Lan Nuo told Vincent the dimensions of the parts and taught him how to use a vernier caliper, and then he got started.

It has to be said that the professional ones are different. Although Wenxi used to rely on feeling to polish, the basics are there, and he is much more proficient than Lan Nuo in getting started.

After a while, a rough-machined part was polished, and Lan Nuo excitedly took the part for measurement.

"The error is less than [-] millimeter! The vernier caliper can't even detect the error! This is your first time trying it. Can an ordinary blacksmith do it to this extent?"

"It should be possible. As long as they practice, more than [-]% of blacksmiths can do it. It's just my first try, and I can definitely reduce the error further."

Vincey's answer made Lan Nuo overjoyed: "Perfect! Now the musket can be used! Come on! These are the parts I need. Can you keep them all within this accuracy?"

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

……

In Lan Nuo's design, most parts can be produced locally by Douluo, such as springs. It is not expensive to purchase them from the earth for the time being. The only relatively expensive part is the gun barrel.

Douluo's special steel can also be used to make gun barrels, but the kind of thing forged by a senior blacksmith can easily cost dozens or hundreds of gold soul coins, which is too expensive.

It is better to buy ready-made steel pipes from the earth, which only cost more than ten yuan each. They are strong and durable and will never explode.

After handing the parts to Vinci, Lan Nuo started to make bullets. At first he planned to use paper bullets, but later he found that paper was not easy to get, so he might as well just use metal bullets.

As we all know, the bullets of breech-loading guns are divided into warheads and cartridge cases. The cartridge cases also contain primers and gunpowder. Everyone knows the ratio of gunpowder. Monosulfur, diniter, and charcoal are easy to handle. Saltpeter is a little more troublesome. Nobles use this thing. Ice making is barely available on the market. If you use a lot in the future, you may have to go to the toilet to scrape ice.

It is not difficult to use smokeless gunpowder in bullets. Sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and cotton synthetic nitrocellulose are more than enough for old-fashioned rifle powder.

As for the primer that can cause the bullet to detonate on impact, it is another substance called mercury fulminate. You can use alcohol, nitric acid, and mercury to make this thing. However, the reaction is a bit dangerous and easy to explode. Anyway, I will figure out the formula later. There is no need for Lan Nuo to make the bullets himself. The manufacturing process can be slowly improved by the craftsmen.

The primer, gunpowder, warhead, and cartridge case are assembled together by hand. Bullets of the same specifications are born in the hands of Lan Nuo. The brass cartridge case reflects the sunlight, giving people a visual sense of violent aesthetics.

There are only more than 20 bullets in the first batch. After all, they are just experimental products. There is no need to have too many bullets. If the effect is not good, the design plan will have to be changed.

Another three days have passed...

Vince watched Lan Nuo assemble the parts he had polished one by one. First, a flintlock gun with a relatively simple structure was born in his hands, followed closely by the second breech gun with a relatively complex structure. Born in hands.

Seeing the parts born in his hands put together as if they came alive, Vince had to admit that Lan Nuo's design was really genius. The specifications of each part were exactly the same, and the perfect fit was full of mechanical beauty.

Lan Nuo is very satisfied with Vinci's craftsmanship. His breech-loading gun is designed with a manual ejection type, which is very close to modern mainstream firearms. The air tightness of the rifle should be strengthened as much as possible. If the accuracy of the parts is not good, it will seriously affect the shooting. Accuracy, air leakage may hurt the shooter's eyes, but currently it seems that the accuracy is higher than designed.

As for why Lanno doesn't get semi-automatic rifles or assault rifles, the reason is very simple. Manually produced bullets are really not worth it. Assault rifles swoop down and a dozen rounds of bullets are gone. The firepower is indeed strong, but it is useless. Get up!

It is better to enhance the accuracy and range. Bolt-action rifles like Mosin Nagant and 98K can be used as sniper rifles even in modern times. The effective combat radius of a soul master generally does not exceed 100 meters, and this thing is 500 meters away. , add a scope, and there is a high probability of a headshot.

The threat of a sniper on the battlefield is self-evident. In addition, rifles with long barrels are generally more powerful. They can deal 100% damage when hitting ordinary people. They can be used to deal with soul masters. Even soul sects, if not The defensive system is also likely to be unable to withstand it. This still refers to the situation of being prepared.

As for the unprepared situation, there is little meaning in discussing this. Without preparedness, a titled Douluo may be shot in the head. After all, people will die if they are killed. Not all soul masters have head soul bones to increase the defense of their brains.

The reason why it is of little significance is that the sixth sense of a soul master above the fourth ring is already very strong. Even if he cannot detect that he is being targeted, he will have a premonition of danger the moment the bullet comes out of the gun.

Lan Nuo stroked the two guns and was very satisfied. The front-mounted flintlock gun was low-cost, simple in structure, easy to mass-produce, and could raise a powerful army in a short time.

The breech-loading bolt-action rifle is powerful, has a long range, and is easy to operate. It can be used as a high-end product to fool auxiliary system and food system soul masters into providing Lan Nuo with research funds.

Lan Nuo can't wait to try the power of the two guns!
