Chapter 906: Enlarging the Gun Can Make Things Happen

Su Ting pointed to the erected rear sight: "What is this thing used for?"

"To correct the muzzle height, there is no scale added now. Let Ziyi and others repeatedly test the bullet's single point of impact, and add the scale after obtaining the data.

In conjunction with the front sight, the circle on the front sight is used to correct and protect the front sight and delineate the sighting range.

Of course, the rear sight can be a blocking caliper type, but now it is more convenient to use the standing one..."

Li Yi explained again, if a gun is said to be imitated, it should be imitated? Do you understand the principle?

"Show me." Bi Gou reached for the gun.

Guo Ziyi handed it over carefully. Bi Gou took it and lowered his hand: "Heavy."

"Thirteen point six to fourteen pounds, it looks heavier than an ordinary bow, but the bullet is light and easy to carry. If the gun is too light, it will be inaccurate.

The wall of the barrel is thin. If you want to increase the amount of propellant or change the formula of the propellant in the future, it will not be used and it will explode.

Transport the cement to the border to build the city, and ordinary people learn how to use firearms. When the time comes..."

Li Yi knew that the gun was a bit heavy, and he did so on purpose to prepare for future upgrades.

Everyone must get used to the same weight first, otherwise the weight now will be lighter and the weight later will be inconvenient.

There is another reason.

"There is a bayonet attached to the gun. When the enemy is close, use the sword to fight. I have a tutorial on how to fight the bayonet. You must have a sense of weight when swinging it."

Li Yi said what he least expected to see was a hand-to-hand fight.

However, the army that has never dared to engage in hand-to-hand combat will lose even if it is given artillery.

At that time, when Japan first invaded, the Chinese people could not fight with bayonets and did not know how to play.

Later, you will fight hard. The key is not to be afraid of death.

Nepal has a scimitar army, which never loses in hand-to-hand combat. It is not just that the Nepali scimitars are powerful, but also that the people in the army dare to fight.

However, they had lost before, to Li Yi's army at that time. Hand-to-hand combat was all about fighting to the death! Come on then.

During the war on the Goryeo Peninsula, the Nepalese scimitar troops were hired to fight with the Rabbit Army on bayonets, but they failed to fight against the Rabbit Army.

Today's Tang Dynasty is also the same. The rifle is equipped with a bayonet and the gun is heavy. Not only is the barrel thick, it is also long.

When shooting, the bullet can fly farther, and when fighting with a bayonet, you won't suffer too much loss.

Speaking of bayonets, Guo Ziyi took out the bayonet. The long bayonet with a blood groove was made of the same kind of steel as the barrel of the gun.

He installed the bayonet and jammed it, and the look of the gun instantly changed, and it seemed to have murderous intent.

"It looks easier to use than a bow. If the distance between the bow and the bow is tight, it can only be smashed and twisted, and it is not strong enough."

Song Jing carefully touched the back and side of the bayonet with his fingers, not daring to touch the blade. Only when he held it himself did he dare to test the blade with his fingers sideways.

"If you can't fight with the bayonet, don't fight with the bayonet. The gunman should stay away and fight."

Li Yi felt sorry for his Tang soldiers and was willing to use long-range weapons to deal with the enemy.

You can spend more money, exchange money for life, it’s worth it!

"How much does it cost?" Bi Gou swallowed his saliva and asked without confidence.

"Lao Bi, hold on, don't be afraid. I'll give you the money from selling the bicycle. You don't have to buy it. It was promised at the beginning."

Li Yi was afraid that Bi Gou would collapse suddenly and wondered whether there was good equipment here.

"Huh~~" Bi Gou said in a long voice: "Yes, I told Xiao Yi that there is no tax on bicycles and guns. I will never do business at a loss."

Bi Gou hardened up in an instant. Look, how long-term I think.

"You want to make 60,000?" Wei Zhigu calculated the number of people, 30,000 Yulin Feiqi and 30,000 recruits trained in Taibai Mountain, 60,000.

"This summer Zhuangzi will launch a hydraulic stamping machine. When smelting it, I will add other things to make alloy steel for use in the stamping machine."

Li Yi didn't say how many to build, he gave a new technology.

It is too laborious to make steel pipes manually. It is fast to put them on the stamping machine and hot-roll them.

The cost is not important. He does not pay for his coal and iron ore. Zhuangzi supplies large quantities of saltpeter for gunpowder.

This is a military industry, and materials are all free, and the money earned from selling kerosene is used to subsidize the cost of other auxiliary materials.

He won't give any money for the oil. It belongs to Li Jia Zhuangzi to provide technology and produce military materials. The extra money will be regarded as a reward.

What is considered is the cost of materials, labor costs and technical costs. No one cares about him.

Labor costs are high, but what is even higher is technology!

This gun has transcended the material stages of cast iron and cast copper, the matchlock stage, the front charge stage, the smoothbore stage, and the linear rifling stage.

Can anyone define how much this technology is worth? It is equivalent to a span of thousands of years.

There are also changes in the concept of combat and the way of war.

"Li Yi, if this gun is made bigger, like a bed crossbow..." Su Ting suddenly had an idea.

"Su Zaifu has a great idea. The gun is enlarged to become a cannon. I made mercury fulminate and turned it into a fuze device. We can shoot it out with one shot and the shells will bloom."

Li Yi gave a thumbs up. My Prime Minister Su is awesome. He has an idea, which is great.

"Can it still bloom? Like grenades and explosive packets?" Su Ting knew that the weapons transported to the front line were ignited and then thrown out.

What he originally wanted was to fire larger bullets, far away, to hit the enemy generals. Once the bullet was fired, all the people on the road would be smashed, and in the end the enemy generals would die.

Replace it with explosive bullets, like explosives thrown from a catapult.

"Yes, as long as you take out the mercury fulminate, the rest can be easily solved. Add a spring device in front of the shell, which will ignite the mercury fulminate when it encounters impact, and then..."

Li Yi gestured, and it looked like an explosion. It was as simple as that. The premise is that the industrial foundation is okay.

"That's great, Xiao Yi, make it." Bi Gou now wished he could take a troop to fight Tubo.

"Money. It's fun to fire a cannon, and it's a lot of money. Not counting other things, one cannonball is equivalent to half a year's income for an ordinary family in Jingzhao Prefecture."

Li Yi had calculated the price long ago. The current production conditions are too poor, and most of the work is done manually.

It takes 20 strings of cash to make a cannonball, which is half a year's income for a family.

Of course, it will be cheaper in the future. He will gradually improve the process and come up with new technologies.

With a good lathe, more and better lathes can be made, and a generation of lathes will become cultural relics.

Bi Gou calculated it and suddenly sighed. He couldn't afford it. It was too expensive. What he got after firing might not be able to pay for it.

"Xiao Yi, wait a while, don't make it." Bi Gou knew that Li's manor couldn't afford it, and he didn't want to pay.

"Don't build it? If you don't build it, you will never have it. Only by building it can the cost be slowly reduced.

Even if one shell costs 20 strings, I am willing to pay 200,000 strings for 10,000 shells.

Put the artillery team in the city and use the current indirect aiming method.

Cooperating with the cavalry in the city, a few hundred rounds can confuse the enemy. No formation exists in front of the artillery."

Li Yi shook his head. He wanted to build it, and the calculation method was different.

Twenty strings per shell, one shot kills one enemy, ten thousand shots kill ten thousand enemies, and two hundred thousand strings of money.

How much money does it cost to raise an enemy from childhood to adulthood? How many people are there in total?
