Yang Fan relaxed physically and mentally and had a good sleep.
I was woken up by the noise outside the window in the early morning. Got up and stretched.
Pushing open the window facing the city, I saw that the Zuoziying and Youziying had arrived and were forming a team downstairs.
Mo Zui was loudly scolding them to stand in order, and at the same time announced the gains and losses of yesterday's battle.
"Do you all recognize that little bastard named Chuangzi? Yesterday he was shot to death by Jiannu for disobeying orders. And that Wang Baiyi, who refused to give up his money and showed off his heroism, was hacked to death by the cavalry. Why do I tell you every day, All actions must be subject to command. If you decide to leave your team on the battlefield, you will go to the toilet with a lantern and look for shit. Remember, you must advance and retreat with your team, and you must act according to the orders of your superiors. Don't make your own decisions."
Yang Fan smiled, Mo Zhui had always been positive and didn't need to be ordered around. He gave full play to his subjective initiative.
"Mingyan, go and call those carpenters and foremen." Yang Fan turned to Mingyan and said.
Several old men were brought.
"Proprietor, why did you ask me to come here?"
"I have a drawing here. Let's see if it can be made. How many can one person make in a day." Yang Fan showed the drawing of the wooden part of the 98K rifle to the three old carpenters.
"Hey, this picture is so detailed that people can understand it at a glance, but I don't understand these characters." Craftsmen in this era were basically illiterate, and it was normal not to be able to read, let alone recognize letters and Arabic numerals. .
"These are the dimensions, I'll tell you. Just use walnut wood, which is everywhere here."
Old man Zhang looked over it over and over again and said: "This requires walnut wood that has been dried in the shade for many years. If it is not wet enough, it will crack and become unusable. And now there is no ready-made wood in this village."
"Is there any way?" Yang Fan asked.
"Well, there is a way, but I dare not say it."
"But it doesn't matter."
"This hundred-household official hall is made of fine beech wood, which is several times better than walnut wood. Moreover, the beams and columns are all over a century old and have dried out long ago. The wood is stable and is most suitable for the gun stock mentioned by the proprietor. .”
Yang Fan didn't expect that this old guy's idea was to demolish the house or the city government building. Quite like a sketch from later generations.
Don't worry about the immediate situation. As long as people can save their lives, houses can be built again. Don't give up your life rather than your wealth. That's the stupidest thing to do.
"Okay, tear down the official hall and see how many you can make in a day."
"Fifty carpenters, twenty are experienced carpenters, and thirty are novices. It's no problem for the experienced carpenters to do ten a day, and it's no problem for the novices to do five. Three hundred and fifty in a day."
Yang Fan thought about it, this speed is okay.
"Okay, do it immediately. I will arrange for special personnel to prepare the required iron and wood. I will not delay you. Start doing it now. You make one first and let me take a look. If there is no problem, I will start in full. If there is any problem, I will modify it. Start again when it’s finalized.”
"Here!"
A building that spans more than two hundred years, the Baihu Official Hall was built in the 23rd year of Hongwu. Under the horrified eyes of the officers and soldiers of Baihu Station, the official hall was torn into pieces. It was a little sad for a while. This official hall symbolizes the belonging of all soldiers and civilians and is our common home.
"Why are you all crying and mourning? When the bandits are defeated, we can rebuild better." Yang Fan said loudly.
"Here!"
An hour later, a brand new 98K gun stock was made. Due to the rush, it was not even painted. Yang Fan looked at the beautiful wood grain on it and couldn't put it down. Lao Zhangtou is so good at his craftsmanship. Almost exactly like the drawing. The beautiful lines are pleasing to the eye and very comfortable to hold.
A groove was made on it according to the shape of a nine-section repeating gun, and Yang Fan installed a disassembled nine-section repeating gun into it. Then fasten the five iron buckles. The buckle looks very secure when it's in place. But you have to do shooting experiments to know whether it is reliable or not.
"According to the owner's requirements, this buckle can be opened and locked very conveniently. It only takes five breaths to replace a barrel."
The entire gun looks much longer than the 98k. The 98k gun is about one meter long. Barrel section 600 mm. The nine-section repeating gun is 1000 mm long. In this way, the length of the entire gun reaches one and a half meters. If the long gun head is installed, it will be 300 mm longer. The length of the entire gun reaches 1.8 meters.
This is already higher than most soldiers. It's definitely long enough for a bayonet or something.
The handguard under the barrel can be gripped well, it is not easy to lose your hand, and your hands will not be burned by the barrel. At a glance, I thought it was a modern rifle.
Yang Fan came to the school grounds with a few carpenters, and the soldiers who were training quickly got out of the way. The grinding table arranged the target.
Ten meters away.
Yang Fan put the butt of the gun on his shoulder. He was the only one who knew how to shoot with this kind of gun butt.
Holding the handguard in one hand, he leveled the gun. Since it was against his right shoulder, it was easier to aim with his right eye. The nine openings for the fuse were all on the right side. Yang Fan used his free right hand to touch the fuse from front to back. Then blow out the fuse and light the fuses one by one from the beginning.
boom!
The first shot was fired smoothly, the recoil was not bad, and my shoulders shook back. The body swayed slightly. This gunpowder is really not very powerful.
The lead hole on the right also emitted a stream of smoke.
boom! The second shot was fired.
This time two holes spurted out a shot of gunpowder smoke.
boom,! boom'! boom!
All nine shots were fired in a row. At the ninth shot, all nine holes on the right side sprayed gunpowder smoke horizontally to the right side. For a moment it was filled with smoke.
Yang Fan choked and coughed several times.
Fortunately the head was to the left of the gun. Otherwise, some people will suffer.
The 98k design is still good, and the ignition hole is at a safe enough distance from the eyes.
But Yang Fan also quickly discovered two problems.
First, there is no crosshair, making aiming difficult.
Second, the ignition hole sprays flames and smoke to the right. In a tight formation, it will have a certain impact on the shooter on the right. Fortunately, the distance between the front and back was enough so that his face could not be burned. But the hand holding the gun guard in front may be burned. It's best to wear gloves or something. Otherwise, it would be quite painful if the sparks burn.
Yang Fan explained the problem.
"This is simple. Find a tinsmith and make a piece of tin first. What is the specific sight like?"
Yang Fan took the paper and drew with a pen: a front sight at the muzzle and a rear sight at the end of the barrel. Three points make a line.
"Master, this thing is good, it's so accurate," Mo Zui said excitedly.
The other officers also picked it up and shot several times each.
Yang Fan also improvised several movements by imitating the needle-fighting skills of later generations. Won everyone's applause.
"Let's finalize it like this. Do it now. Make five hundred first."
The industrial design of later generations is very beautiful. People of this era can also feel that a good weapon must be very beautiful. Its appearance conforms to the principles of natural science and has its own sense of beauty.
Everyone couldn't put it down. You passed it on to me and I passed it on to you. They couldn't bear to put it down.
