Chapter 699 Rifling
Although I haven't used it for a long time, this craftsman is obviously a real craftsman and is not unfamiliar with the operation.
Just as Li Chen was waiting, Guan Zhiwei asked with confusion: "Why is Your Highness suddenly interested in these strange tricks and silver tricks?"
Li Chen said to Guan Zhiwei: "This thing has a great future, you have covered the treasure with dust."
Guan Zhiwei smiled dryly, but obviously he didn't want to believe it in his heart.
He complained that His Highness was not good at being his prince, and he actually began to think about these things.
Even if His Highness is wise and powerful, can he still be able to be omnipotent?
The craftsman has filled the ammunition with his speech.
Li Chen walked out of Xizheng Hall and came to a yard. He raised his hand and aimed at a tree more than ten steps away.
After all, this thing is gunpowder and has certain dangers. In addition, it has not been maintained for many years, so no one knows whether it will explode directly.
If something happens, then everyone present will have to land on their heads.
Guan Zhiwei was frightened and quickly said, "Your Highness is careful..."
But before he could finish his words, he interrupted with a loud bang.
The loud noise accompanied by the unique pungent smell of gunpowder ignited, and it evaporated in a burst of blue smoke.
Li Chen raised his hand and waved the pungent blue smoke and looked at the trunk he was aiming at.
But I saw that although I hit the target, it was much worse than the point he aimed.
This is still at a distance of more than ten steps, converted into meters, and it looks like it is twelve or three meters if it is suffocated.
Looking at the circular projectile that had not even penetrated the tree trunk, Li Chen felt that this thing was really available, especially the martial arts masters who threatened those land gods, and there was still a long way to go.
Others didn't know that Li Chen was so thoughtful. When he saw Li Chen staring at the bullet hole and not speaking, he felt dissatisfied with thinking that Li Chen was.
In panic, Guan Zhiwei pulled several craftsmen to kneel on the ground.
"I am guilty of guilt, please punish me."
Li Chen came to his senses and waved his hand and said, "What are you guilty? It's already great that this thing can still be fired. I am thinking about things and getting up."
Li Chen waved to the craftsman who first talked to him, and asked him to come and said, "There is still a lot of room for improvement."
Thinking hard about the little knowledge about guns in later generations, Li Chen said: "For example, although this barrel can ensure its stability, it also increases the weight and maintenance difficulty, and it will be born over time.
Rust is not conducive to the heat dissipation after gunpowder is fired. You can consider adding some molten steel to it. This ensures that the weight is not reduced without reducing the strength, and it is not easy to rust."
Experts will know if there is any one.
The craftsman thought the prince was just a joke, but he didn't expect that Li Chen's first suggestion made his eyes lit up.
However, he was also hesitant and hesitant: "I thought about the proposal to join the molten steel before, but the cost of molten steel is too high..."
"It's okay."
Li Chen waved his hand and said, "The Ministry of Works will fully support this. Don't be afraid of the high cost. First, create a batch of usable ones, and then consider how to reduce the cost."
As he said that, Li Chen said to Guan Zhiwei: "Did you hear me?"
Guan Zhiwei had no idea why Li Chen was so concerned about such a useless fire stick, but since His Royal Highness had spoken, he certainly didn't dare to have any objections.
"I understand."
"besides."
