After leaving Sun Simiao's courtyard, Lu Chen took Liu Jing and Feng Huai to the steel workshop, where Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo were already waiting.
In front of Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo, there were several paper bags, surrounded by soldiers guarding them tightly.
"Master!" Seeing Lu Chen arriving with Liu Jing, all the soldiers rushed to Lu Chen and saluted.
"Master, according to your instructions, the things have been configured!" Su Dingfang has been stationed in the steel workshop recently, because here they are trying to make black gunpowder according to the proportioning method given by Lu Chen. With the black gunpowder, Lu Chen's The hot weapons plan can be implemented.
"Master!" Hearing someone calling Lu Chen outside, Liu Laosan from the steel workshop came out with a few reliable assistants and saluted Lu Chen directly. In the past few days, Liu Laosan had found a few reliable assistants. People joined the steel workshop, and Lu Chen had seen all of these people.
Two of them were responsible for testing the black powder formula given by Lu Chen. They were brothers. The elder brother was named Tong Xiao and the younger brother was named Tong Yue.
"How sure are you?" Lu Chen asked, looking at the two brothers Tong Xiao and Tong Yue.
"Sir, my brothers and I have tried it several times. When it comes to certainty, we should be 80% certain!" Tong Xiao saluted Lu Chen and said.
"If you succeed, I will give you a lot of rewards! Give it a try!" Lu Chen pointed at the paper bag on the ground and said.
"Yes!" Tong Xiao cupped his hands at Lu Chen and walked towards a paper bag. Tong Yue put away the other paper bags. The reason why he put several of them away was that if one of them failed, there would be spare ones. .
Everyone dispersed around, and Feng Huai stood directly in front of Lu Chen, raising a large steel shield in his hand.
Tong Xiao squatted on the ground and opened the paper package directly. In fact, the whole paper package was not big, that is, the size of a palm. When the paper package was opened, he saw the thin black powder inside. Tong Xiao used a flint to ignite the black gunpowder. The wrapping paper stood up and took a few steps back. As the wrapping paper burned, the black gunpowder inside was ignited. "His! His!" Along with the smoke, the unique smell of burning black gunpowder spread directly. The flames erupted from the black powder, and Lu Chen's eyes were full of excitement.
At this time, Lu Chen was happier than having a base, because he made it, and it was made in the Tang Dynasty. If it were in later generations, he would be able to make bombs just by going to the supermarket, but if he made it here, The meaning of producing black gunpowder is different. With the birth of black gunpowder, it means that flintlock guns and artillery can be used. The days when Jieli Khan sings and dances are not far away. No matter how many aristocratic families dare to force porcelain, Lu Chen could just dig up the roots and bombard him at the same time.
"Well done!" Lu Chen directly praised Tong Xiao and Tong Yue, "Of course, you have also worked hard, and you will all be rewarded! Two coins each!" He waved his hand and said.
"Su Dingfang, Du Junchuo, follow me!" Lu Chen waved directly to Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo, "Old Liu, have those things been made?" Now that the black powder has come out, the flintlock gun is ready Time to test!
"Sir, it's all built according to the drawings!" Liu Laosan heard Lu Chen ask him and hurriedly said.
"Very good! Let's go! I have something new to show you!" Lu Chen waved his hand and led a group of craftsmen, as well as Liu Jing, Feng Huai, Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo directly into the steel workshop.
Everyone knew that as long as their father-in-law said something new, it must be a new invention, and everyone followed Lu Chen into the steel workshop with expectant faces.
After entering the steel workshop, Liu Laosan went to a locked box on the side, took out the key from his pocket, opened the copper lock, took out a long wooden box from inside, and carefully carried the wooden box to the workbench. , "Sir, everything is in here!" Liu Laosan said and opened the wooden box, and Lu Chen saw the parts of the flintlock gun lying inside the wooden box.
Seeing these parts, Su Dingfang and others couldn't understand what they were used for. They all looked at their father-in-law curiously, because Lu Chen had already started to take out parts from the wooden box. After taking out a part, he went Installed on another part, these parts were quickly assembled together. Only then did these people understand what these parts were used for, which was to assemble the thing with the long tube in Lu Chen's hand.
"Sir, what is this? Why do my subordinates feel like they have seen each other before?" Looking at the flintlock gun in Lu Chen's hand, Su Dingfang thought with a strange expression. He always felt that the flintlock gun in Lu Chen's hand had something to do with it. It felt like I had seen it before, but I couldn't remember where I had seen such a thing, so I asked Lu Chen directly.
"Are you familiar?" Lu Chen pointed his flintlock gun forward. Hearing Su Dingfang's question, he turned around and asked Su Dingfang with a smile.
"I do feel familiar, but for a moment, I can't remember where I have seen anything similar!" Su Dingfang nodded affirmatively. Su Dingfang's memory is quite good, otherwise how can he command thousands of armies and become "one person" The military god who destroyed the Three Kingdoms.
"Is it similar to this thing?" Lu Chen put down the flintlock gun with a smile, then pulled out the pistol directly from his waist and gestured at Su Dingfang.
When he saw the pistol in Lu Chen's hand, Su Dingfang finally knew where the familiarity came from. It was the pistol in Lu Chen's hand. "It's exactly this! Could it be?" Su Dingfang looked at Lu Chen's hand. The pistol, and then looked at the slender flintlock gun, and suddenly realized where his familiarity with this thing came from. Despite this, Su Dingfang still did not say anything, but with a guessing tone. asked.
"This is an enlarged version of a gun, called a flintlock gun!" Lu Chen nodded directly and affirmatively, "Of course this is just a rudimentary thing. After all, the materials and tools are not enough to make the pistol in my hand. , but for the current stage of training, this thing is enough!" Lu Chen said casually.
"How to use this thing? Are you using this thing to hit people?" Except for Su Dingfang, no one else had seen how Lu Chen's pistol was used. The person who asked this question was Feng Huai, who was standing next to Lu Chen. Feng Huai He said with a puzzled expression on his face. How unconventional it was to have this expression appear on his handsome face.
"If it's used to hit people, why would I spend so much effort to make this thing?" Lu Chen gave Feng Huai a blank look, "How about I just forge a spear and a broadsword?"
"This child has been watched by villains. Hey, it's a pity. This child is good at everything, but his brain is not very good. He has grown from a little fool into a big fool!" Tong Xiao couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at Feng Huai. He shook his head regretfully. Even he, a craftsman who was only responsible for black powder, knew that this black powder was definitely used with flintlock guns, otherwise his father-in-law would not be so eager to make black powder.
"Let's go! Go out and try!" Lu Chen took the lead out of the steel workshop with a flintlock gun, and the others hurriedly followed Lu Chen out of the steel workshop.
After leaving the steel workshop, Lu Chen looked for the target, "It seems that after we have the flintlock gun, we will build a shooting range in the back mountain!" Lu Chen thought about it secretly, "Liu Jing, put this iron plate there Go ahead! A hundred steps away!" Lu Chen pointed in the direction of the back mountain and asked Liu Jing to hold an eight-cent-thick iron plate that was as tall as a person and walk a hundred steps away.
Liu Jing followed the instructions and ran directly to set up the iron plate a hundred steps away, and then stood next to the iron plate.
"Come back!" Lu Chen saw Liu Jing standing next to the iron plate and shouted directly to Liu Jing. Liu Jing followed the instructions and took a few steps to the side. Lu Chen continued to wave, and Liu Jing walked a few more steps. Lu Chen After visually checking that it was a safe distance, he nodded and asked Liu Jing to stand there.
"This silly kid! I don't know how the sight of this gun is, what if it hurts him!" Seeing Liu Jing standing in a safe position, Lu Chen felt relieved, picked up the black powder and loaded the flintlock gun , followed by loading iron sand.
Then he raised the flintlock gun and aimed it at the iron plate. Lu Chen had almost aimed, and then he pulled the trigger. With a "pop" sound, the smell of burning gunpowder filled the air. As for the iron plate a hundred steps away, Not knowing what condition the plate was in, Lu Chen walked towards the iron plate with a flintlock gun. When he got to the iron plate, he saw iron sand on the iron plate that had been embedded into the steel plate.
"This..." When they saw the iron sand inlaid into the steel plate, Su Dingfang and others took a breath of air, because this was an iron plate. No matter how thick the armor on the human body was, it was impossible to cover it with an eight-cent thick iron plate. As armor? If this can be embedded so deeply, how can the armor on their bodies be able to block such a thing? Thinking about those Turks who don't even have enough armor, if they encounter such a thing, won't they be beaten to pieces?
"The power is not bad!" Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction and threw the flintlock gun directly to Liu Laosan. Liu Laosan hurriedly caught the flintlock gun, but Liu Laosan was not only shocked but also proud at this time. After all, this The things were made by him.
"According to this standard, make a hundred first!" Lu Chen directly ordered Liu Laosan.
"Yes!" Liu Laosan responded directly, "But, sir, there are only a few of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult!" Although Liu Laosan accepted the order, he still looked embarrassed and expressed his embarrassment. The place.
"You don't have to worry about the craftsman. The craftsman's business is mine! In addition, no one person should know the manufacturing process of this flintlock gun. You can let the craftsman only be responsible for one of the parts. Do you understand?" Lu Chen looked at Liu Laosan warned.
"I understand!" Liu Laosan nodded. In order to prevent others from stealing their skills, this division of labor model existed before, so Liu Laosan didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary about Lu Chen's instructions, and even agreed with them. This way, after all, this flintlock gun is so terrifying!
