Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

“After loading is in place, you need to tap the bullet lightly with a pick so that it can closely adhere to the barrel of the gun.

By the way, because there are grooves and rifling in the barrel of the gun, when you hit the bullet, you have to hit it a little more..."

Bi Maoliang's teeth were leaking and he did not get the position to explain to the emperor. He was scratching his head when his eyes suddenly widened.

I saw that the emperor actually loaded the gunpowder, and after stabbing it firmly, he did not load the bullet according to the brother's explanation.

Instead, he tinkered with bullets!

This is……

Is Your Majesty going to show me something amazing again?

……

The product produced by Erbi is not an ordinary product!

The bullets made by Bi Maokang and the two men are no longer different from the round-head bullets of later generations.

This shows that the two of them have tried it countless times...

You must know that the diameter of the bullet is naturally slightly smaller than the barrel of the gun. This is to facilitate loading.

And the length of the bullet...

As it grows longer, its weight increases by an unknown amount, thus affecting its range.

And it is one point shorter. Due to the lack of weight, the power of the rifled gun cannot be fully exerted.

In later generations, this thing can calculate the thrust of the gunpowder explosion and various data between different bullet weights based on various accumulated data and advanced computers.

In this era, everything needs to be tested over and over again, and practiced again and again with live ammunition.

It can be said that what was placed in front of Zhu Youjian looked like an ordinary lead bullet...

In fact, it is the brainchild of endless craftsmen!

Erbi said that thousands of rounds of bullets were fired, and that is really not an imaginary number!

Zhu Youjian turned his head to look at the expectant eyes of the two white-haired old men, and was deeply moved in his heart.

These are all national scholars!

Zhu Youjian sighed with emotion, but kept holding his hands.

He skillfully picked up the long bullet like a small spinning top and casually asked Li Laiheng for a small modified knife.

The bullets of this era were all made of lead.

The texture of lead is very soft. Not only can it be deformed by the force with a few gentle hammers, it will stick tightly to the barrel of the gun.

It is even easier to be carved.

This thing is slightly harder than aluminum.

As long as this thing hits the human body, it will deform and roll, forming a huge hole.

This is also the reason why lead bullets were later banned around the world.

Zhu Youjian held the modification knife and dug out a wedge-shaped cavity at the bottom of the bullet.

Then he casually pulled out the dagger from Li Laiheng's waist, scooped up a corner of the poplar table, and cut it into a wooden wedge the size of a hollow in a few strokes.

Zhu Youjian inserted the wooden wedge into the hole dug at the bottom of the bullet, and then used a dagger to cut off the excess.

This is the principle of the Mine bomb.

This strange scene made Brother Bi Maokang stupid.

The soldiers around him were even more stunned.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, Zhu Youjian loaded the bullet into the chamber of the gun.

He just used the pick to push the bullet to the bottom, and then raised the gun in a shooting posture.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to..."

Before the two Bi Maoliang brothers finished speaking, they saw the emperor's finger press, the trigger fell, and the dragon's head hit the chopping board.

A string of sparks fell into the trigger chamber.

"Oh!"

The gunpowder inside the barrel was ignited, and a deafening gunshot sounded.

The movable target 150 steps away fell down!

"This……"

Bi Maokang's eyes widened.

Why didn't the emperor tap the bullet so that the bullet fit into the barrel of the gun, and the power actually became stronger?

Zhu Yujian looked at the emperor in disbelief——

Mr. Bi, didn't you say that the accurate range is only 120 steps?

Why did it actually increase by thirty steps in His Majesty's hands?

God!

This increased range has caught up with the range of the muskets used by the Ming Dynasty!

Except for shotguns and Lumi guns, other muskets, ordinary shooters can only hit a target of about thirty steps.

The emperor's small move actually increased the range by so much?

oh my god!

Your Majesty's idea is so clever?

King Tang was stunned.

Li Laiheng's eyes widened as well, and he even forgot to applaud the emperor's spear skills.

What the hell!

If this thing were used on the battlefield, wouldn't it mean that the enemy would be hit by a hail of bullets before they even had time to charge?

good stuff!

Good stuff!

Li Laiheng stared and couldn't help licking the corners of his mouth.

Er Bi stared at all this in disbelief.

My goodness!

Increased the range by thirty steps?

fun!

It's fun!

Your Majesty's single action gave us such a powerful way to increase the range of muskets?

Omg!

The two white-haired old men in their octogenarian years couldn't help but look at the emperor's chest.

Your Majesty, there are some good things here!

Don’t leave empty-handed today!

Bi Maokang gave his elder brother Bi Maoliang a vague look.

Coincidentally, Bi Maoliang also looked over.

The cloudy eyes of the two men were shining brightly.

No matter what you say today, His Majesty’s family will be emptied of money!

……

"good!"

Zhu Youjian smiled and put down the musket.

I don’t know whether the original owner’s eyesight was good, or whether his eyesight became better after double superposition.

Or maybe God didn't provide a system, but gave it an insignificant mosquito leg.

Zhu Youjian's eyesight is surprisingly good.

It is not difficult for the improved bullet to hit a target 150 steps away.

Although it looks like those targets are as big as matchboxes...

……

The Ming Dynasty's step is to walk with both feet left and right alternately. The official standard is a distance of five feet.

That is 1.6 meters.

When it comes to walking, those who are ignorant and incompetent will always try to fool around, saying, "I'll go bigger, I'll go smaller..."

Ancient weights and measures are just unreliable!

China was really backward in ancient times. Look at Western dads. That’s advanced. The length is really standard!

As everyone knows, this is a stupid statement.

Official weights and measures are never defined by individuals, but are an average value selected after widespread sampling.

The reason why it is called "Bu" is just a title.

It's like a bald eagle. If you call it a moldy bird, it's the bird. But wouldn't it be called a bald eagle?

The official "step" is just a unit of length, just a name.

Even if it is named "centimeter", it is still five feet away!

It's like your nickname is Li Niu, and your nickname is Erdan. Why, if your father calls you Erdan, you are someone else?

Isn’t this a second goal?

The same goes for a stick of incense, a cup of tea, etc...

It's just a title, there are always people who want to call it nonsense...

Just like a kilometer:

According to their thinking - why, this distance is still fair!

Is there still a mother?

Give them a world-famous trademark - the spicy ball brand produced in Lankao, Henan and exclusively sold in the school canteen...

"Shrimp bullshit"!

……

Zhu Youjian silently calculated and found that the accurate range of this new gun was about 240 meters.
