The Royal Military Factory kept shooting sounds coming from the shooting range. After batches of muskets were built, they were fired and tested here before leaving the factory.&1t;/p>

Wang Fuhai is an ordinary inspector. This is a profession with certain risks. No one knows which musket will have quality problems, and then suddenly burst out with a bang.&1t;/p>

Fortunately, the new musket has a very low rate of blow-off. Before taking it for shooting inspection, there was a series of tests. At this level, there would be basically no accidents of blow-off.&1t;/p>

"Xiao Wang, there are another thousand muskets to be tested today. All of them will be tested in two days. Please hurry up." The manager came over and said to Wang Fuhai.&1t;/p>

"So many?" Wang Fuhai asked in surprise: "We have not had so many musket orders for a long time!"&1t;/p>

"I heard from the above manager that the export price has been reduced, one price has been 20 taels, and Hongmao ordered 100,000 pieces." The manager said to Wang Fuhai: "I guess you will be busy with the test in the past or two months."&1t;/p>

"I understand." Wang Fuhai responded, and then started to conduct factory inspections in a hurry. He kept putting gunpowder and lead into the gun chamber, then pulled the trigger and fired the lead bullet.&1t;/p>

With the experience of the Royal Military Factory in musket production, there were basically no defective products in the live ammunition detection process. Each shot was successfully shot, and there was no explosion.&1t;/p>

"It's so troublesome! It depends on the amount of medicine every time. If it's too much, it's troublesome. If it can be filled with gunpowder in advance, it's fine." Wang Fuhai muttered, a little tired of such repetitive work, especially the cost of loading.&1t;/p>

As soon as he finished muttering, Wang Fuhai was stunned. Then he slapped his head suddenly, and after a while, he shouted loudly: "Yes! Why didn't I expect it before? You can just put the gunpowder in first and pour it directly into it. No, you can also put the lead bullets in together."&1t;/p>

A flash of inspiration came to mind, and Wang Fuhai came up with a good idea.&1t;/p>

But what is the gunpowder used to pack?&1t;/p>

Oil paper, yes, it is oil paper.&1t;/p>

Wang Fuhai quickly threw down the inspection work at hand and ran to get a large stack of greased paper. Then he cut the greased paper into pieces of equal size with a cutter. Finally, he poured the same amount of gunpowder and lead bullet on the greased paper and wrapped it.&1t;/p>

After packing dozens of bags of gunpowder in one go, Wang Fuhai then came to the shooting range with a pile of paper bullets.&1t;/p>

After taking off the oil paper and pouring it into the gun chamber, the degree has indeed increased a lot. But the most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about the amount of gunpowder. The whole test process has been a lot of worry.&1t;/p>

Bang bang bang bang bang…&1t;/p>

Tested dozens of muskets in one breath. Wang Fuhai thought it was too troublesome to remove the oil-paper bag, so he changed it to bite it casually, and then poured it into the gun chamber, which became faster again.&1t;/p>

I'm so smart.&1t;/p>

Wang Fuhai was satisfied and in a good mood. However, he had created a major bright future. He worked hard all day long.&1t;/p>

Until after get off work, Wang Fuhai handed over more than 700 firearms tested to the manager. The manager thought that Wang Fuhai cut corners and did not test according to the process.&1t;/p>

After such a fuss, the manager realized that Wang Fuhai had put gunpowder and lead bullets into the paper bag first, which greatly improved the efficiency.&1t;/p>

"Xiao Wang, you've reached it." After watching the paper bag for a while, the manager said something that made Wang Fuhai unknowable.&1t;/p>

"Ah? What's the matter?" Wang Fuhai asked in surprise.&1t;/p>

"Don't you know that the Lord is encouraging all the workers in the factory to create something clearly?" asked the manager.&1t;/p>

"Yeah! Yes! That's the case." Wang Fuhai nodded, and after a while, he came to his senses, and asked stutteringly: "You. You are not, are you saying that this thing of mine also is considered a Ming Creation?"&1t;/p>

"Nonsense, think about it. What would happen if the soldiers on the battlefield use this thing?" The manager said helplessly. Why is it so tiring to talk to this guy!&1t;/p>

"Shooting, shooting degree has been greatly improved, right?" Wang Fuhai stuttered, obviously not confident in himself.&1t;/p>

"Yes! Then won't you achieve it?" said the manager.&1t;/p>

"Yes! Why didn't I expect it?" Wang Fuhai suddenly realized. The manager said, "The manager hasn't left yet. Go and get the information on this matter. You must be rewarded by your boy."&1t;/p>

"Thank you, the manager, for your advice." Wang Fuhai hurriedly thanked him, and then ran into the manager's office. The manager attached great importance to Wang Fuhai's Ming. He immediately reported to him the next day and appeared on Zhu Youxiao's desk.&1t;/p>

The commander quickly made a clear affirmation of this Ming. After Zhu Youxiao saw this Ming, he slapped his forehead.&1t;/p>

"It seems that this paper bullet has indeed appeared in history, but I forgot it before." Zhu Youxiao was obviously not a god and could not remember many historical details of the ancient weapons exhibition.&1t;/p>

The commander then evaluated the paper bullets. The conclusion was that such paper bullets could greatly improve the design level of musketeers and reduce the training cycle of musketeers again. This is of great significance, and the level evaluation is second-class.&1t;/p>

Currently, the Royal Military Factory has a rating system for various creative creations, which are divided into special grades, first grade to fifth grades. The ratings are carried out from the perspective of production, military, etc. As long as it is useful, you can get ratings. According to the rating level, you can get rewards.&1t;/p>

Second Class, the reward amount is 15oo yuan.&1t;/p>

Soon, Zhou Fuhai, who was only nineteen years old, received a huge bonus in the eyes of the ordinary class, and the paper bullet was quickly purchased by the commander-in-chief. The Royal Military Factory was responsible for the production, and Zhou Fuhai also obtained some patents. As an employee of the military factory, he belonged to the military factory, but he could also share some of it.&1t;/p>

Zhou Fuhai suddenly felt like he was hit by a pie, which also made him deeply realize Ming Creation’s ‘money prospect’.&1t;/p>

Because he suddenly had a lot of money, Zhou Fuhai decided to quit his job as a military factory and instead went to the newly established Royal Institute of Technology to study.&1t;/p>

This college is mainly used to train technicians, but it also has basic mathematics, physics and chemistry courses.&1t;/p>

The most popular one is naturally the major of mechanical manufacturing, with the most apprentices learning this technology. Because the technicians who manufacture machinery are currently the highest-paid technical workers in Beizhili.&1t;/p>

The technicians who make watches and various machinery are becoming more and more popular in Beizhili, and their wages are also soaring.&1t;/p>

Zhou Fuhai developed a strong interest in Ming Chuang and tasted the sweetness. It happened that the Royal Institute of Technology recruited students, so he naturally could not miss it.&1t;/p>

The paper bullets produced by Zhou Fuhaiming were quickly included in military applications by the command headquarters. The new army will fully use paper bullets. The emergence of paper bullets has standardized and accelerated the loading of muskets.&1t;/p>

After the experiments of the command, some quick musketeers could even shoot until 7.&1t;/p>

Of course, this is only a very rare phenomenon, not a common phenomenon. However, if a soldier trains hard to a certain level, it is no problem to increase the shooting per minute to 5. Even if he trains ordinary musketeers, after using paper bullets, the shooting per minute can easily reach 3.&1t;/p>

Not long after, good news came from the Royal Military Factory that the bayonet proposed by Zhu Youxiao had been designed and mass-produced.&1t;/p>

Bayonets are not a very difficult technique, on the contrary, this is a very simple thing. Just design a sleeve to fit the muzzle, and you can install a bayonet.&1t;/p>

The Royal Military Factory previously designed a long thorn on it, but Zhu Youxiao was not satisfied with it and believed that this long thorn has no multifunctional purpose.&1t;/p>

So the technicians from the Royal Military Factory created a real bayonet to install. At the same time, the sleeve was improved to make loading and unloading more convenient. When installed, they could form long weapons with a relatively long musket, and when removed, they could be used as knives.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty's bayonet was directly in place and formed a relatively mature bayonet.&1t;/p>

After receiving this report, Zhu Youxiao went to the Royal Military Factory to shoot the target the next day. The muskets currently equipped by the Ming army are nearly 1.6 meters long and the bayonet length is 23 cm, and the combined length reaches 1.8 meters. Although this length is not as long as a spear, it is long enough.&1t;/p>

The emergence of bayonets will enable musketeers who need protection from spearmen to have melee capabilities, and will not even need protection from spearmen.&1t;/p>

The bayonet like a forest can also stop the rushing cavalry. No matter how well-trained the war horse is, it is impossible to bump into it foolishly.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao shot more than a dozen paper bullets at the shooting range, but his marksmanship was pretty good. He would basically not leave the target within fifty meters.&1t;/p>

"It's very good. This kind of rifle is still called O3 style!" Zhu Youxiao was on a whim and set a number for the musket according to the model of later generations.&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor." Yang Qianshan quickly asked someone to write down.&1t;/p>

The name of the O3 rifle has been officially confirmed, which has become the first type of equipment with a number in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

"Report to Your Majesty, the military factory has made the first rifled rifle in accordance with your instructions. I wonder if Your Majesty wants to go and see it?" Yang Qianshan raised the rifle to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

"Built? How is the performance?" Zhu Youxiao asked.&1t;/p>

"The performance is very strong. The lead bullet can shoot about 90 meters. Within 50 meters, it has enough lethality, but the cost is very high. A technician may not be able to pull out a barrel in a month." Yang Qianshan said.&1t;/p>

"Is there a problem with the knife?" Zhu Youxiao asked. It is impossible for a technician to not be able to pull out a barrel for a month.&1t;/p>

"The tools we have first are indeed not suitable for rifling, and the failure rate is very high. In addition, the wages of technicians who can rifle are also very high. Now the average cost of a rifled gun is over 10 yuan. It is very low in shooting, and it is very laborious to load." Yang Qianshan said.&1t;/p>

"Take it and take a look!" Zhu Youxiao said.&1t;/p>

"Yes, your majesty." Yang Qianshan hurriedly asked someone to take the rifled rifle and then demonstrated it at the shooting range. The appearance of this rifled rifle is not much different from the smoothbore rifle.&1t;/p>

However, when loading the bullet, the lead bullet is knocked in, and loading is more troublesome than a smoothbore gun. Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao knew that it would be impossible for this thing to be equipped with the troops in a short period of time. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
