As one of the small consequences of the Yuwen family coming, some of my daily welfare disappeared.

The mysterious creatures could not stay under the same roof with me for reasons such as insufficient staff and the mansion had not been repaired, not to mention that they could, wearing pajamas or something every day and night, run across the courtyard to find me, or visit others, and then turn into some noisy and lively daily life.

She was almost reluctant, and was begged by a group of people kneeling down and almost showed her ambition. She moved to the newly expanded courtyard next door to live, and enjoyed the service and care of the family.

Zi Shibu naturally took on the common tasks around the mysterious creatures, and used the servants brought by my family to arrange me to take care of food, clothing, and slowly replace them.

Then, under the mandatory requirements from the master's family, the content of learning was added to daily life. That's right, learning. As the children of the Haifan nobles, before the coming-of-age ceremony, there was always no shortage of various content that needed to be learned to enrich their knowledge and sentiments, especially for mysterious creatures who were highly anticipated.

Although they were unable to enter a formal school, it did not prevent them from hiring some famous women to teach short classes. They even found a former court female official through the relationship between Yuwen’s family to teach some more private things.

This is also the only price and requirement for the Yuwen family to continue to cover up and condone her if she is wrong.

So the time I could see her suddenly decreased. Under A Zi's strong request, I could only see a mysterious creature with a bitter face and her complaints and complaints while a few meals such as morning tea, regular meals, lunch tea, etc.

However, after hearing these daily reports, I had to let them go without proving that they were strongly contrary to the wishes of the mysterious creatures.

Genjiro, in accordance with the requirements, brought people to join me, broke up and mixed together, and did some coordination and tacit understanding in daily training.

Although Genkuro's people, although they claim to be Yi Cong, were actually another form of private armed forces, mainly to bypass the state and restrict the armed forces of the retainers and people of the vassal state.

Of course, they are good at fighting ships and seas. Although they are generally not very old, they have some experience in escorting ships and dealing with pirates. They also make up for some of my shortcomings in the emerging maritime trade activities.

Of course, the banner was to protect the common interests of the two consortiums, so although some frictions and small conflicts were inevitably arising, they were quickly calmed down and suppressed.

Time quickly entered a hotter month like the flowing water when opening the gate. The weak cicadas were separated behind the heavy door.

"what you up to……"

The mysterious creature stared at me with some vigilance.

Because of the increase in daily arrangements, the once free and easy mysterious creature complained, so I found an excuse to discuss important things and came to stay with me, which became her rare leisure time.

But I didn't expect that I took her directly down the further expanded ice cellar, and I suddenly felt a little.

Of course I was not in the mood to do anything to her, at least in this state of mind. However, from the Tiangonghao and Yayun Club that have resumed operations, I got some good news that I had been waiting for, and by the way, I also asked her to share it with me.

A bunch of experimental tools and equipment,

"What's this……"

The mysterious creature looked at a small pile of grey white particles on the hemp paper with curiosity, similar to the coarse salt just exposed by sea water.

"careful,"

I pulled her a distance and handed her a wet mask.

"This thing is poisonous..."

I carefully picked up a small pinch of particles with tweezers, put them in a stone container, and then put them on the lit scent of silk. I heard a crisp crackling sound, and a strange smell filled the air, and the scent of silk disappeared a small part.

Then I put some in, then used the long-handled stick to pound the medicine, and knocked it hard, and then there was another crackling sound of blue smoke.

"Can't it..."

The face of the mysterious creature was a little surprised.

"That's right, it's the rut mercury, the most original version of the rut mercury,"

I said proudly

"It is also an important component of detonator and bullet base fire in later generations..."

"I asked the craftsmen of Yayun Club to use the mercury nitrate produced by reacting mercury with nitric acid, and then mixed it with alcohol to react to the crystals that were finally obtained,"

"So it is toxic and has poor stability..."

The principle is simple, but it is not that easy in fact. It is easy to say mercury. It is a very common product since the pre-Qin Dynasty. Nitric acid must be refined saltpeter, and filtered and purified from the waste gas distillate of mine iron smelting, concentrated sulfuric acid called green vanadium water, and obtained by secondary reaction; then alcohol is also distilled from high-quality wine with a lower cost-effective ratio and repeatedly.

This also requires the market supply of cheap soju wine made from the developed sugar industry in Canton for the market of the market for the developed market of sugar cane bagasse.

Although it is still a handmade product on the test bench, at least it has a direction of mass production.

Although it has defects such as volatile, toxic, and corrosive, it is no problem for modern guns with limited shooting times.

Although it is unlikely that the bottom fire will be achieved in one step, as the development direction of detonators, it can indeed be further developed in the field of explosives.

Then I led her to another special workbench, and the other one was the product of Tiangonghao precision processing technology.

It looks like a long metal block with a circle in front and a corner in the back. It is actually composed of several large forged iron parts, but thanks to this era, the forging technology that has begun to take shape.

"This is a simple bolt..."

I explained.

The best flintlock rifle in this era is still a rotary flintlock rifle. One of the flaws is that the number of firings is slightly more, and the rotary machine brackets will gradually lose their elasticity. Of course, it is really nothing to the firing rate of flintlock rifle.

Therefore, I directly improved it into a simpler and more durable hammer flintlock rifle, further simplifying the gap between loading and launch preparation.

Of course, I don’t want to get the so-called striker gun in one step. The compression springs that are suitable for the problem have not been born in this era. In contrast, the application of various elastic bolts and rivets has become quite common in this era, and even a set of normative standards have been formed.

The structure of this gun is from the forum that military fans and enthusiasts have repeatedly discussed the style of modern rear-firing guns, the so-called complex of the Dresser rifle, Hall rifle and Kamanl Ryder gun.

The most prominent feature is that there is a round tube that can be lifted upward at the back of the barrel. The principle is similar to the bullet shell of later generations. The gunpowder and projectiles are added in sequence, and then pulled down and tightened to keep the threads at the pipe opening airtight from the barrel groove, which prevents most gunpowder gas leakage.

What's more, I have a big killer - a sealant ring. I originally planned to use it on a steam engine. I didn't expect it to be used on a musket design first.

There is no rubber from later generations in this era, but it is another alternative that has been used for hundreds of years - Eucommia ulmoides. Of course, it cannot compare hardness with vulcanized rubber. It is mainly used as an application for wheel wear-proof and shock-absorbing, as well as waterproof raincoats and rain boots.

In addition, I have another small improvement in ammunition, which is the so-called paper shell fixed-loading ammunition. Of course, because there is no bottom fire, I can only fix the gunpowder and projectiles, but this is enough.

In this way, although there are still many defects such as the sealed circle being heated and aging quickly, it is not a problem for the original version of the post-installation gun with limited shooting times.

You should know that due to the limitations of material and gunpowder, the muskets of this era must be made thicker and stronger to bring people a sense of psychological and physiological security, rate of fire, and front-mounting means that this is a limit that can only be loaded by standing and half-squat queues. The width of the queue has to be used to strengthen the amount and power of the firepower.

A primitive rear-loading gun is enough to kill most firearms of this era in seconds.

In this way, I have gone one step further from the era of barrage in my dreams of queuing up to kill. The only thing that can limit me is the processing of the barrel and the selection of materials.

I now need to constantly experiment with various pipe diameters, thicknesses and lengths to find a weight. Power, accuracy and reliability are relatively compromised, and then serve as a standard for batching.

At least I have a variety of choices for refined iron materials. The Southern Dynasties had the so-called four famous irons, Fusang iron and Ryukyu iron from Tokaido, Nan'an iron and Tianzhu iron from Sikaido. It can be said that each has its own advantages.

"What do I need to do..."

The way of the mysterious creature knows the elegance of the song

“A larger amount of iron,”

I'll be right at the bottom of the way

"Because the scrap rate of manual processing is relatively high..."

"And there is sulfur from Japan..."

"We also need to borrow the channels of Yuwen family to obtain..."

"As for saltpeter, I will find a way from Tianzhu."

Then, I took her to see Shen Yue hiding in a private workshop somewhere, for some kind of handover.

Shen Lazi had a good meal for a few days, washed his body, and removed the weed-like hair and beard. After putting on a tailor-made green silk shirt, his hunched back became much straightened.

As a human-like figure, you can see some of the old styles of a generation of masters. It is difficult for people to associate him with the hunchbacked lame man who was like a cockroach, a ditch rat, wearing sack pieces, and picking up hunchbacked lame man in garbage, but his disabled arms and eyes cannot recover.

Therefore, he can only serve as a guide and supervisor, and also train some details, and cannot practice most of the work that requires hands-on work.

But he still drew several mechanical structural diagrams and presented them for my reference. As a master of the generation, the most valuable thing is undoubtedly the design and experience in his mind. For this reason, I specially hired two people who have received special drawing training to assist him, slowly sorting out the ideas and plans accumulated over the years and turning them into drawings and tables.

What I need is not only a high-end master, but also a craft inheritance system and category that is easier to promote and popularize. He has no objection to this after experiencing too many things.
