The Rise of the European Emperor

The steel core single-headed bomb is obviously one of the top secrets of the North Sea country, so the user's credibility requirements are also very high. Marin clearly remembers that after the French made the latest Lebel m1886, a French soldier defected to Germany with a new gun and offered 20,000 marks.

Therefore, in the selection of the musketeer to use, Marin pursues "absolute peace of mind". And what kind of people reassures Marin the most, obviously the group of kids in the school reassures Marin the most. Because that group of children were "asking for instructions in the morning and reporting in the evening" to his portrait every day, and they were brainwashed all day to be loyal to Marin. There is no problem with the loyalty of the children raised in this way, and there is no need to worry about the leakage of secrets.

Before, there were many scumbags who were eliminated from the group of elementary school graduates. Marin felt that their loyalty should be fine. Moreover, the scumbags are not as smart as the masters, and they don't have so many twists and turns in their minds. Instead, they are more reliable and easier to control than those smart people.

Therefore, Marin ordered that Kohler and Sauer be dispatched together to select loyal guards from among the eliminated elementary school scumbags. Even if they are selected by the factory, they must be selected by the guards.

And Marin's selection requirements are very simple and rude to be excited when you see his portrait, and you want to cry when you see the real Marin... This is the treatment in North Korea in March and a half, and it is also a proof of fanatical believers...

Such fanatical followers are hard to betray, and you can rest assured that you will hand over the one-headed bullet to them. In addition, such scumbags are better to fool.

Marin decides to pick 100 fanatical elementary school scumbags to form his own Musket Guard. Although these children are not old enough, their strength and physical strength may not be able to keep up. However, after two or three years of training, it can be used. At that time, a hundred snipers armed with big killers will definitely be a nightmare for enemy officers.

In order to improve the accuracy of shooting, Marin also let Da Vinci transform the musket and make a sight similar to the later sports air rifle. That is, there is a front sight in front of the barrel, and there is also a rear sight with a round hole behind the barrel. When aiming, as long as the eyes can see the target through the two holes of the front and rear sights and the rear sight, three points and one line, you can shoot.

Of course, that doesn't make much sense with muskets, because the shot will always fly around. For high-precision single-headed bombs, it is of great significance. As long as you have this sight, the shooting accuracy of ordinary people will be greatly improved.

As for the scope or something, Marin didn't plan to use it. Because the effective range of the single-headed projectile is not high, the highest is only 200 meters, and the effective range can be seen by the naked eye, so there is no need to use a scope. Only the Mini rifle with an effective range of several hundred meters is necessary to use a scope. Because that distance is beyond what the human eye can see.

In addition, in order to facilitate aiming and avoid the trouble caused by smoke, Marin decided to equip the steel core single-headed bullet with smokeless powder.

Smokeless powder produces more gas, pushes bullets better, and doesn't produce smoke that interferes with sight, which is very convenient.

As for the charge of smokeless powder, Marin has tested and found that the charge of 10 grams is just right. Any higher, and the barrel can't stand it. After all, the barrels of this era are not drilled, but rolled and forged, and naturally have an unstable stitch. If the blast force is too high, it will shatter the suture.

Moreover, the power of 10 grams of smokeless gunpowder is almost equivalent to that of 30 grams of granulated black powder, which is full of power. Originally, Marin's optimal charge for the rifle was three-quarters of an ounce of granular black powder, equivalent to 21 grams. After changing to smokeless gunpowder, it should be 7 grams, but Marin pursued long-range sniping and increased the charge by 3 grams. In this way, it is more stable to hit the target at a distance of 200 meters. After all, the higher the sub-bore velocity, the greater the effective range.

It's just that this sucks the barrel. Even the low carbon steel forged barrel is somewhat unbearable. To do this, Marin had to figure out a way to add a slide to the outer barrel. This is the method learned from the hoop gun of the German Krupp cannon. Whether it is a musket or a cannon, when the propellant bursts,

The biggest damage is mainly to the barrel and the rear of the barrel. Therefore, Marin asked people to add a sleeve to the second half of the barrel, which further suppressed the possibility of the barrel blowing. Of course, because it protects the inner barrel, the sleeve is not too thick. Also, it can be replaced.

...

In addition, during internal publicity, Marin will deliberately mislead his subordinates, emphasizing the importance of smokeless gunpowder, and assigning all the credit to smokeless gunpowder.

In this way, everyone has been deceived, not to mention the enemy's spies. Then, even if the enemy's spies got some information, it was wrong. As a result, those pretenders will focus on smokeless powder and ignore the shape of the bullet.

However, is smokeless powder so easy to get? That's amazing chemistry. People who don't understand chemistry will never think of the method of making smokeless powder in eight lifetimes. Not to mention the ancients in the 16th century, even in the 21st century, if they weren't good at middle school chemistry, they wouldn't be able to make smokeless gunpowder.

Even, Marin intends to deliberately release news in the future that there is a great alchemist in Beihai, who can create powerful smokeless gunpowder... Let the spies bring a wave of rhythm to lead the alchemy boom in Europe... Then, no one pays attention to the alchemy. The shape of the bullet is a problem...

...

The selection work of Kohler and Sauer also went very smoothly. Because of Marin's simple and rude method instructions, the two called 4,000 primary school scumbags who were eliminated in the "Xiaoshengchu" Zhongbei from various factories, including the non-commissioned officer school, and brought them to a chapel in batches. Take the oath of allegiance to the portrait of Marin painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Then, Kohler's spy and Sauer's scout, the two most observant professionals, stood aside, carefully observing the expressions on the children's faces. Then, from time to time, I use a notebook to record the effect...

In the end, the two picked out the 200 most fanatical kids…

However, Marin's request was for 100 people. The reason why they picked 200 people is to carry out a elimination. This elimination game is shooting...

It is undeniable that shooting also requires talent. Some people are natural shooters, while others lack the talent for aiming and shooting...

In order to test the children's shooting talent, Sauer instructed the craftsmen of the arsenal to make a small musket, and greatly reduced the charge to reduce the recoil of the musket and avoid hurting the children. Then, they erected a target 10 meters away and let the children practice shooting...

A week later, the 100 people with the worst shooting scores were eliminated, leaving only the 100 people with better shooting scores...

Then, these 100 people were brought to Marin...

Sure enough, it was similar to what Marin thought. When these fanatical children saw their real faces, they all had expressions of excitement on their faces. Even some children were so excited that they cried...

At this moment, Marin felt that he had been possessed for three and a half months, and that the traffic niche had been possessed... And these children, they are the proper brains...

Moreover, Marin did not doubt that their expressions were fake. After all, these children are only twelve or thirteen years old. If you can put on an expression of excitement without flaws, what's the matter, this is definitely another transmigrator... But that possibility is extremely small...

Marin imitated the attitude of the leader, smiled, waved at the children, and then encouraged the children for a while, and even shook hands with a few children in the front row. If there were cameras in this day and age, maybe he would take pictures with the children... Then, he exclaimed:

"I announce that the Beihai Country Youth Musket Guards Corps is officially established! And you are my first and most loyal musket guards!"

Immediately, the children below cheered. In particular, Marin's words "I am the most loyal" really scratched their itch. Tonight, these simple children are afraid to lose sleep...
