My Life Simulator

After Tong Zhilin visited, Lu Li immediately dispatched agricultural experts.

These agricultural experts brought the tenants of Lujiazhuang, cattle, and various crop seeds to Zhujing Thousand Households in Tong Zhilin, and launched a vigorous spring ploughing production.

In addition to farming, the construction of Lu Li's "industrial zone" also requires manpower. He also invited many people from Tong Zhilin's Thousand Households to work and provide money and food, which can be regarded as alleviating the problem of Zhujing's shortage of food.

When Commander Liu of Jinshanwei knew about this, he immediately found Lu Li and said, "We are all brothers, so we can't favor one over the other!"

Lu Li immediately agreed that Jinshanwei's spring ploughing production would be carried out by these agricultural experts with a team. The seeds were also provided by Lu Li, and they also recruited workers from Jinshanwei. As long as they are willing to come and work, they will all be given to them. money for food.

As a result, Jinshanwei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was grateful to Lu Li.

The progress of infiltrating Jinshanwei was much faster than expected.

At first Lu Li thought that he would wait until Tong Zhilin cooperated for a period of time before others saw the benefits before joining.

That's really... Orcs are never slaves, unless they are covered with food.

As a result, Lu Li's box of pearls was continuously spent.

Spend money like water, but the progress of work has increased significantly.

In addition to the manpower for agricultural production, in the industrial area of ​​Luli, brick kilns, coking, ore dressing, iron-making blast furnaces, and even workshops all received a large number of manpower, and various infrastructure constructions continued to accelerate.

Lu Li didn't take care of agricultural production, and the agricultural experts after enlightenment, along with the tenants and Jinshanwei's staff, worked in full swing, without Lu Li's intervention at all.

Lu Li focused his energy on the workshop area.

Infrastructure construction is indispensable. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of raw materials, Lu Li repaired the official road from Lujiazhuang to Huating County, and also built a port terminal on the bank of the Jing River near the workshop area.

Here we have to talk about cement as a building material.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was already a prototype of cement, which was called Sanhetu, and the composition ratio was similar to that of cement.

When Lu Li saw the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty building roads and building a three-layered earth, he remembered... Cement is also a big killer!

The principle of cement is actually very simple, and high school chemistry can handle it. Lu Li, who has taken the top student in the college entrance examination countless times and even studied engineering, is not a problem to get a cement kiln.

Therefore, in addition to the brick kiln and coal kiln, a cement kiln was built on a hilltop in Lujiazhuang.

Although there is still not enough steel to make reinforced concrete, but...the use of bamboo poles instead of steel bars works just as well, and the effect is not bad.

The emergence of cement has greatly accelerated the progress of infrastructure construction in Lujiazhuang, and even saved money.

After arranging these infrastructure projects, Lu Li plunged into the workshop and started making guns.

The blast furnace produced the first batch of steel.

After sampling and testing, Lu Li confirmed that these steels are all qualified medium carbon steels, with higher strength and hardness than low carbon steels, but not as brittle as high carbon steels, so they are very suitable for making gun barrels.

When it comes to making gun barrels, many people's first impression is... Drill!

In fact, this is very inefficient, and the processing difficulty is more complicated and more difficult way.

The best way to make a gun barrel is the manufacturing method of "seamless steel pipe".

The blast furnace is opened, the molten steel flows out, and when the steel is solidified, a series of rotary extrusion mechanisms are connected behind, just like rolling dough, rolling the red steel into a steel rod.

When the reddish steel is rolled into a steel rod, the end of the rotating extrusion mechanism extends out a core rod. These reddish steel rods continue to be rotated and squeezed, and the core rod penetrates through the middle of the reddish steel rods.

Cut off, take off the core, it is a complete seamless steel pipe. Replace the next core rod, continue to rub the steel rod, and the seamless steel pipe is manufactured one by one.

Cut and grind the outer circle of the manufactured seamless steel pipe on a lathe, and cut and grind the inner hole on a drilling machine. After correction, a barrel blank is manufactured.

And then ... the rifling also needs to be made.

Speaking of rifling, there are many misunderstandings caused by the seniors who have passed through. They always think that rifling is difficult to process and difficult to manufacture. In fact, this thing is very simple.

The rifling is not drilled, nor chiseled, nor carved, but...pulled!

To hold the barrel in place, use something similar to the core bar from which seamless steel pipe is made, through the inner hole. On this core rod, cut a slit, put a knife on it, and pull a rifling out.

Of course, a mechanism must be designed to ensure that when the rifling is pulled, the core rod will rotate slightly, and the pulled rifling will be spiral.

For Lu Li, the processing of the barrel and rifling was easy, but the bolt was the hardest.

The rifles shot by Lu Li are more than 300 years ahead of the world in today's era, and they use a rifle design similar to that during the Franco-Prussian War.

The mercury ignited, the firing pin fired, and the carton was loaded with ammunition. Except that it can't do metal bullet casings, it is no different from the single-shot rifle shooting method of later generations.

Pull the bolt, open the chamber, reload, lock the bolt back, pull the trigger and fire. This way of shooting, the rate of fire can smash the whole world, and it is not a problem to shoot more than a dozen shots a minute.

Bolt and chamber require high hardness and high strength steel. The main parts that bear the impact of the gunpowder explosion are the barrel and the bolt.

Fortunately, this is still not a problem. When adding a little manganese ore in the iron making, the strength, hardness, elasticity and toughness are enough.

Add more manganese ore, high manganese steel is spring steel, and the spring of the bolt is also solved.

Time passed, and by the end of May, the first batch of 100 striker-type rear-loading rifles had been manufactured.

In fact, the output should have been more, and the barrels were easy to process. There were already more than 2,000 barrels in the warehouse. It's just that the processing of the bolts and chambers is much more difficult. Even if there are hydraulic machine tools that Lu Li made, they have not produced too many bolts and chambers.

On this day, Lu Li walked into the warehouse and saw a hundred steel guns in the warehouse, with a bright smile on his face.

With this weapon that is more than 300 years ahead of the world, it is completely possible to hang the world.

"Have you checked the quality?"

Lu Li picked up a rifle, stretched out his hand and pulled the bolt, and the polished and polished barrel looked like a mirror.

"It has been tested. All testing methods and procedures are accepted according to the quality inspection standards you gave."

Guo Dayuan, the master craftsman in charge of firearms manufacturing, answered quickly.

This Guo Dayuan was originally a blacksmith of Jinshanwei. He used to be responsible for making muskets, but... Jinshanwei was rotten into a pot of porridge.

After arriving at Lu Li, Guo Dayuan was finally able to use his strengths.

"Have you passed the quality inspection?"

Lu Li nodded, "Okay, I'll try the gun!"

Carrying the rifle out of the warehouse, Lu Li took another box of cardboard fixed-loading ammunition from the ammunition warehouse, turned around and walked to the shooting range opened near the forest.

"My lord, I have the test target ready!"

When he arrived at the shooting range, Guo Dayuan pointed to the target erected on the shooting range and said to Lu Li, "According to the request of the adults, I have prepared a 100-meter target, a 200-meter target, a 400-meter target and an 800-meter target. A ten-millimeter steel plate was put on it."

During this period of time, Lu Li's unified weights and measures have achieved good results. At least Guo Dayuan, a Ming Dynasty craftsman, has been full of international units.

"Good job!"

Lu Li nodded, walked to the firing position, and put the ammunition on a table in the firing position.

Without starting to shoot right away, Lu Li first observed the gun.

This rifle is 1.2 meters long, weighs 10 pounds, and has a caliber of 10 millimeters. Also equipped with the gun is a 40 cm long three-edged bayonet.

It looks decent, almost the same as the rifle used by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in later generations.

Don't know how powerful it is?

Lu Li opened the bolt, took a paper shell and loaded it into the chamber, pushed the bolt to lock the chamber, picked up the rifle and aimed at the 100-meter target in front, and pulled the trigger!

"Bang!"

A stream of gunpowder smoke spewed from the muzzle, and the smoke column rushed out more than two meters.

Black powder is smoke. This is also impossible.

The recoil of the launch shook Lu Li slightly, and the bullet that came out of the chamber roared through the air, hitting the steel plate of the 100-meter target in front of him heavily.

Lu Li walked up to the 100-meter target with his gun in hand, and saw a hole had been pierced in the steel plate of the 100-meter target.

100 meters through ten millimeter steel plate, the power is very scary! Even an iron can with full body plate armor can be worn in pairs.

Next, Lu Li tested the 200m, 400m and 800m targets respectively.

The two-hundred-meter target also pierced through the steel plate.

The 400-meter target, the steel plate did not penetrate completely, and the bullet was stuck on the steel plate.

The 800-meter target, the steel plate has only one pit, and it cannot be penetrated.

But...it's already scary!

The effective range is 800 meters, what is the concept?

It is no wonder that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, Senggelinqin's 100,000 cavalry charged and was shot and destroyed by platoons of guns, and the enemy only suffered a dozen casualties.

A cavalry charge would take at least one minute for a distance of 800 meters.

In this minute, the firing pin breech rifle can fire about fifteen times.

There were 16,000 troops in the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Even if only 10,000 people lined up to shoot, they could shoot 150,000 bullets in one minute! Not even guns!

This kind of overwhelming rain of bullets will kill you if you touch it, and you will die if you touch it. It is no wonder that the charge of 100,000 cavalrymen was directly crushed.

If this battle between cold weapons and hot weapons does not reflect the power of the striker-type breech gun, then change the battle.

During the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia used striker breech guns, and France used front-loading flintlocks. The end is... The French army of 600,000 was blown up!

Today, with such a rifle that is three hundred years ahead of the world, it is enough to crush all dissatisfaction.

"Very good! Very good! This gun is good."

Guo Dayuan, who was next to Lu Lichao, praised him, "Master Guo has worked hard and earned a hundred taels of silver. The rest of the craftsmen's wages are doubled this month."

"Thank you sir!"

Guo Dayuan couldn't help but be overjoyed. It is really pleasant to work under Master Lu. No beating or scolding, enough money and food, and there are rewards from time to time. Such a hundred household officials are really rare.

"Sir, we have also made samples of the revolver you mentioned."

After thanking him, Guo Dayuan reported another good news to Lu Li.

"Oh? Come and take a look."

The revolver was also designed by Lu Li.

Although the revolver has disadvantages such as poor sealing and short range, but... it can fire in bursts. This advantage is enough to make people ignore all its disadvantages.

Imagine, when the enemy braved the hail of bullets and rushed to the front of the army, ready to take advantage of the slashing, each soldier took out a revolver and fired a few shots in a row, hehe!

This is to eliminate the enemy on the charge route and not give him a chance to get close at all.

After a while, Guo Dayuan sent a revolver.

Compared with the revolvers of later generations, the size of this revolver is much larger now.

The quality of steel and processing technology cannot reach the heights of later generations, and there is no way to increase the volume and weight.

Lu Li took the revolver, weighed it, and weighed about three pounds. Not too heavy, about the same weight as the current flintlock handgun.

The ammunition is still a 10mm paper case, but the charge is less than that of the rifle, and the size of the bullet is also smaller.

The capacity of the ammunition is only five rounds, and the revolver drum is also larger than the revolver of later generations.

Loading the bullet into the revolving drum, turning on the hammer, Lu Li raised his gun and aimed at the 100-meter target in front of him. He pulled the trigger "bang bang bang" and shot the five-way bullet.

With Lu Li's marksmanship, only two of the five bullets in the 100-meter target hit the target, and the other three bullets didn't know where they went.

And when the gun was fired, smoke and fire were sprayed in the gap between the drums, which was far worse than the revolvers of later generations.

Re-adjust the target, the 50-meter target can accurately hit the target, the 30-meter target can semi-penetrate the steel plate, and the 20-meter target can penetrate the steel plate.

The effective killing distance is 50 meters, the armor breaking distance is 30 meters, and the kill distance is 20 meters.

Such power, for 1561, is already very good!

"Let the escorts conduct a shooting test for half a month. If there is no problem, it can be finalized and produced."

Lu Li glanced at Guo Dayuan and said with a smile, "The rifle is named Jiajing Type 40 Rifle. Revolver... it's called a revolver."

Lu Li also said casually about the stereotyped names of the two firearms.

In later use, the name of the Jiajing 40-style rifle was widely accepted, but the revolver was given a very "earth" name, called "five consecutive sounds".

In this regard, even if he later became a high-ranking general, the Great General of the Land of the Land, who was a giant in the world, he would not be able to win the widespread recognition of the people.

Lu Li could only sigh deeply about this, forget it, let it go! The more soil, the more effective it is to fight!
