The founding of the Ming Dynasty began with tricking Zhu Yuanzhang into recognizing him as his fathe

In the next few days, the village was bustling with activity, with a steady stream of supplies coming in from outside every day, including the lack of salt and cloth for clothes.

I

thought it would be difficult to get gunpowder, but I bought it with rice paper, and the amount was quite sufficient. But as a bullet of iron pellet is not one.

"Second brother, why don't I have any iron pills I want?" Fang Yu was puzzled. Now that the gunpowder has been obtained, there is not a single iron pellet that is simpler than gunpowder.

"Third brother, this gunpowder and rice paper are easy to handle. You really can't get the iron pill you want. However, I have already paid for Feng Blacksmith in Fengjia Village to do it, and it is estimated that it will be good to wait for seven or eight days. Ma Baoshan said.

"Second brother, this gunpowder is easy to get. Why do you have to find someone to make this iron pill?" Fang Yu asked.

"I found a city that sold fireworks in the gunpowder, and I bought as much as he wanted. You want this iron ball, it's really hard to get it! You want this iron ball to be round and smooth. I found several blacksmiths, but they couldn't do it, and it was Brother Hu who knew someone and found Feng Blacksmith. You just have to wait a few more days, anyway, brother, I'll definitely get it for you!" Ma Baoshan promised.

In fact, this was Fang Yu's mistake in experience.

In the world before the time-travel, gunpowder was naturally difficult to get, and iron balls, an industrial primary product, could be bought casually.

But this is in ancient times, it was an agrarian society, there was almost no industry, it was all small workshops, and it was difficult to make something as seemingly ordinary as iron pills!

Fang Yu, who had no choice, could only replace the iron pill with the stones that could be found everywhere first.

As for the rice paper, Fang Yu was used to order gunpowder.

As long as the amount of gunpowder is determined and wrapped in rice paper to be just the size that can be thrown into the barrel, then the speed of reloading can be accelerated.

Just when Fang Yu, who couldn't move, didn't know how to take a firearm to the mountain for experiments, Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiulian came together.

"Third uncle. Ma Xiulian shouted: "My father sent me to you, if you have anything, just let me do it." "

"Big brother. Zhu Chongba also shouted.

"You're just in time!" Fang Yu said, "Niece, go and bring one of the fire guns I found yesterday, and then bring the rice paper I bought." Jupachi, you also go over with Xiulian and carry some gunpowder. Later, we'll go to the mountains and test the firecracker. "

Under Fang Yu's arrangement, after a stick of incense, they came to a clearing not far from the village.

When he came, Fang Yu also asked Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiulian to pick up a lot of stones by the way. These stones were used as bullets in this experiment.

Fang Yu's leg was still fractured, so he could only command Zhu Chongba and Ma Xiulian to conduct shooting experiments.

Fang Yu's idea was very simple, that is, to wrap an appropriate amount of gunpowder in rice paper as a fixed ammunition and stuff it into the gunpowder, then put in the stones, and finally launch it, to see if the amount of gunpowder was more or less, so as to add or subtract as appropriate, and finally get the right amount of gunpowder.

However, during the experiment, Fang Yu found some inconvenient places with firearms.

One is that the fire gun is a long iron pipe. When firing, first light the fuse on the firebolt, then hold the middle of the iron pipe with one hand, hold the last handle of the iron pipe with the other hand, and then wait straight for the launch. Because it is simply held by the hand, the recoil will cause the muzzle to rise when fired.

The other is that the firearm does not have an aiming device, which is all based on personal feelings, so the hit rate is very low.

As for the automatic excitation device similar to a modern gun, Fang Yu before the crossing had no access to this kind of knowledge at all, so he didn't know how to improve it. He could only improve on what he had seen.

"Xiulian, is there a carpenter in the village?" Fang Yu asked

Fang Yu wanted to make a wooden butt to improve the stability of shooting, and then make a simple aiming device out of wood, without requiring any scope, Fang Yu felt that it was okay to have three points and one line.

"Yes, Uncle Yang used to be a carpenter. Most of the homes in the village were built by him. Ma Xiulian said.

"Okay, take me to meet this Uncle Yang. Fang Yu said.

Under the leadership of Ma Xiulian, Fang Yu met Uncle Yang, who looked quite honest.

After describing his thoughts to Uncle Yang, and even Fang Yu simply drew the butt and aiming device for Uncle Yang, Uncle Yang patted his chest and promised that he would be able to make it in just one day!

Handing over a firearm to Uncle Yang as a reference, Zhu Chongba carried Fang Yu back to the place where he had experimented, and today they had not yet tested the appropriate amount of gunpowder.

After firing half a barrel of gunpowder, Fang Yu finally found the right ratio of gunpowder, which made him very happy.

Although in Zhu Chongba's opinion, they only knew how much gunpowder should be wrapped in a palm-sized piece of rice paper to make the stone fly farthest, but Fang Yu knew that this was the first step in standard equipment.

The fire gun is a big killer weapon, which will shock the entire Central Plains!
