Chapter 611: Preparing to test the gun
Ying Zheng looked at Qin An and said, "You can take command."
Qin An nodded and said, "Okay."
Immediately, Qin An walked up to the two soldiers. Huang Shi, Gui Guzi, Ying Zheng and a group of musketeers all looked at Qin An and the two soldiers.
Qin An said in a deep voice: "Bullseye two hundred meters ahead, fire."
"Bang, bang."
After the two gunshots were fired, two black holes suddenly appeared on the bullseye two hundred meters away, and the bullets had penetrated the target.
Zhang Han immediately shouted: "Let them bring the target over and let the village chief and two seniors review it."
Then the flag bearer gave an order to the two soldiers two hundred meters away, and the two soldiers who had fired returned to their original positions.
After receiving the order, the two soldiers on the opposite side immediately ran to the target, picked up the two targets, and ran back quickly.
Not long after, two soldiers came to Ying Zheng holding targets.
Guiguzi and Huangshi came over to take a look and found a hole in both boards.
Huang Shi asked: "Was this hole made with a musket?"
"Of course." Qin An said, "This musket has a sight on it. Through the sight, you can magnify distant objects and see them very clearly, so you can hit them even from a distance of two hundred meters.
The maximum shooting distance of this musket is one thousand meters, and the effective range is about four hundred meters.
In other words, as long as I shoot, even if I don't aim at the opponent, I may kill or injure someone.
If you are a marksman, you can basically shoot one at a time. Five hundred marksmen can eliminate 500 enemies at one time. Moreover, the rifle has strong penetrating power. It is no problem to penetrate two or three people within a range of fifty meters. .
Of course, if you are wearing armor, you can only kill one.
But with the advent of muskets, armor was of little use, and only the elite among the elite wore armor, and ordinary soldiers did not wear armor at all.
And the armor can't stop bullets, so it's even more useless. With so much metal to build armor, it might as well be used to forge other metals.
Such as spatulas, daggers, kitchen knives, etc.
Therefore, it is stipulated that muskets are absolutely not allowed to be manufactured privately, and can only be manufactured by the state. Any weapons should be manufactured, invented and researched by the state.
Such as tanks and airplanes.
Moreover, the eliminated weapons can be sold to other countries. I believe there is no one who is unwilling to buy them.
For the country to spend money on disposing of these outdated weapons, it is better to sell them directly to get a sum of money back to the country. "
"Selling weapons?" Everyone recovered from the shock of the muskets.
Ying Zheng said: "Wouldn't that mean that the other party also has a musket? After they learn it, they will make it themselves, and then they will threaten us?"
Qin An said: "I said they are obsolete weapons, so what if they can make them? Will they be more advanced than our weapons?
So, for us, what we want is to invent new weapons.
For example, can airplanes from the final battle be compared with fifth-generation airplanes? Therefore, weapons will not be sold until new weapons appear.
If I had muskets in the Qin Dynasty, even if new weapons did appear, I would not sell them. I would only sell those long guns and bronze swords.
Firearms were products of several eras, so how could they be sold casually? "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "If the First Emperor had you, conquering the world would not be a dream."
"Of course, but before conquering the world, we still need to develop our own country. The people in our own country are not living well, so what is the use of having so much land?
Is it to give yourself more power to resist yourself? Qin An said.
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You are right. It would be great if the First Emperor could make all the places in the Qin Dynasty as rich as a village."
"If I were here, there would be hope, but it's a pity that I
Not here. "Qin An said helplessly, "Okay, let's not talk about the things that can't be helped.
Do you want to try this musket? Oh, by the way, there is no point in testing the gun with a target. Just use a glass bottle, which is more effective. "
Zhang Han on the side said: "That's right, it's better to use a glass bottle, it's more energetic and it can move."
Ying Zheng and others looked at Zhang Han with confusion.
Zhang Han immediately explained: "Village chief, it's like this. Put the glass bottles on the rope one by one, and then use the rope to shake the glass bottles, which can have the effect of shaking from side to side. In this way, the gun training will be more effective. The enemy won't just stand around and let us shoot."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You are right."
Then he looked at Guiguzi and Huangshi and said, "Seniors, do you want to try this musket?"
Huang Shi and Gui Guzi glanced at each other, then smiled with interest.
Guiguzi said: "Let us try this advanced weapon."
Huang Shi said: "Of course I have to try."
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, Zhang Han, hurry up and get ready."
"promise."
Zhang Han immediately ordered the soldiers to carry out the glass bottles, then placed them within a range of about fifty meters, and hung them up one by one with ropes.
Then the glass bottle was placed a hundred meters away and the glass bottle was hoisted.
Then one hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters.
There are four groups in total, each group has twenty glass bottles, for a total of eighty glass bottles.
Huang Shi looked at the dark green glass bottles and said with a wry smile: "I never thought that practicing a gun would use such expensive glass bottles."
Ying Zheng suddenly said in embarrassment: "This glass bottle is worthless at all. It is made of sand and the cost is quite low."
"But it's priceless outside." Huang Shi said.
Ying Zheng said awkwardly again: "I didn't make Liuli's skills public just to make more money."
At this time, Huang Shi still didn't understand that Ying Zheng was taking advantage of the nobles. Because he was targeting the nobles, Huang Shi didn't say much.
Guiguzi also understood and immediately said, "Old Huang. Let's test the gun. We'll talk about other things after we get back."
"Okay, village chief, let everyone teach us how to use this musket." Huang Shi said.
Ying Zheng gave Zhang Han a look, and Zhang Han understood instantly.
Two soldiers were immediately arranged to teach Huang Shi and Gui Guzi how to shoot, while Zhang Han himself taught Ying Zheng.
On the other side, Qin An asked someone to take out the only machine gun.
This is a valuable treasure, so Ying Zheng and the others did not intend to take it out during their inspection this time, but who knew that Qin An asked to take it out.
There was no other way, so everyone took out the machine guns.
Ying Zheng and Huang Shi saw that the gun in Qin An's hand was different from their own, and immediately looked at him curiously.
Seeing everyone's suspicious looks, Qin An smiled and said: "This is a machine gun. It is different from the rifles you have. It took several months to build such a qualified one."
