"Red pistol?"

Dai Zi thought for a moment and praised:

"It's a suitable name."

"The fire rate of this gun is similar to that of a flintlock rifle. The advantage is that it does not mean that it must have specially ground gunpowder."

The flintlock rifle has a small fire hole and is prone to clogging. The pot must be made of fine gunpowder with extremely low yield and higher fire rate.

The current new army flintlock rifleman is hanging a gourd containing fine gunpowder on his chest, which is only used to load the inducing medicine, and the main bullet launcher is wrapped with paper together with the projectile.

This caused the flintlock gunman to launch two types of medicines, which easily caused chaos in the logistics, and soldiers were easily mistaken during the tense battle, resulting in a decrease in the ignition rate.

There is no such problem with the spring wheel gun. This thing is a bit like a wheel lighter. It uses built-in steel wheels to rub pyrite to fire. There is no need for too detailed induction drugs. You can directly use rough gunpowder like a coercion gun.

Moreover, like a flintlock rifle, the spring rifle does not require open fire and can be preloaded, which seems quite good to use for cavalry.

There are many benefits, but there are also disadvantages, and the disadvantages are very fatal.

"Mr. Dai, how many pieces of this thing can you make a month?"

Xu Shiyang grabbed the barrel, waved the spring rifle in his hand slightly, and asked with a smile.

"this……"

Dai Zi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he honestly admitted:

"It's hard to build, it's good to build one in a month."

Dai Ziben wanted to say that he, his son, and several familiar military weapon makers all had the ability to make this thing, but even so, it seemed that they could not make much, and they could only provide the officers with self-defense in terms of quantity.

But the problem is, if it is a special gun for an officer, is it necessary to save that little bit of gunpowder?

This kind of spring rifle has no advantage over flintlock rifle.

In fact, the rapid replacement of the spring rifle by the flintlock rifle in history is these shortcomings:

It is too complicated, making it difficult to make, easily malfunction and difficult to repair. At the same time, this also leads to the reed rifle becoming a standard aristocratic weapon, with an astonishingly high price, but its performance is not too much higher than that of the flintlock gun. It is nothing more than providing a weapon that does not require open flame to the noble cavalry in the era of the medron gun.

After the flintlock rifle that can do this is popular, it became natural to quickly replace the reel rifle.

The weapons development presided over by Xu Shiyang was completely based on practicality as the highest criterion.

The production of fire door guns is to try to equip the personal soldiers with a weapon that can fight against the Tartar Armor when there is only one craftsman and the productivity is insufficient.

Apart from the simple production, high yield, and the ability to exercise craftsmanship, this thing is almost useless and is a temporary solution when there is no way.

Therefore, after finding the opportunity, Xu Shiyang immediately replaced the fire door gun with a snake rod and a bullet. Today, the fire door gun is only equipped in the militia.

After the clamp, Xu Shiyang jumped over the complex spring rifle and stepped towards the flintlock rifle.

As long as the threads and leaf springs can be solved, the production of flintlock rifles is actually not difficult, and the technical jump level is really not high (the problem of drug introduction is a trouble in gunpowder production), but it can obtain great benefits.

The flintlock rifle is the first type of firearm that can be widely equipped with cavalry. It is cheap, simple to maintain, and has a good performance. It is a civilian weapon that can be equipped on a large scale.

Skipping the aristocratic spring rifle is an inevitable choice for almost all time travelers.

But unexpectedly, Dai Zi, the top craftsman in the world, has made such expensive things in order to show off his skills.

Xu Shiyang did not disassemble the spring rifle in his hand to see how the difference between Dai Zi's weapon was from the same type used in Europe in history.

I think it's quite the same, the technology is similar after all.

The bolts must be filled with small parts that are so exquisite that they can be used to make clocks and watches. They are more than enough to install them, but they are still a long way from the weapons used to equip the troops on a large scale...

Wait, clocks?

Another plane, the European spring rifle guns in history were actually invented by watchmakers, and many parts can even be directly interchanged with the watches of that time!

Since Dai Zi can hand-built a spring rifle, it is feasible to invent a clock in reverse, right?

Watches are a good thing. Although they are also a very noble thing, they are a force multiplier for the coordinated combat of the army and are worth investing in resources and are carefully studied.

Even if you invest ten or twenty years, as long as you succeed, the benefits will inevitably be endless!

Thinking of this, Xu Shiyang happily put away the spring rifle gun and said to Dai Zi:

"Mr. Dai, I will accept this gun. If you submit a list of inventors, I can give you financial rewards."

"But remember that I reward you, mainly for your ability to invent, create, improve, and I hope you maintain this enterprising spirit, not because this gun is very useful."

It is easy for time travelers to easily deny an invention that is not very useful, but it would be too much of a loss to dispel the enthusiasm of scientific researchers.

In doing so, once the time traveler leaves the world, the scientific research system he created will be difficult to break free from the shackles of the time traveler and may even become an obstacle to scientific development.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang never objected to his subordinates using their spare time to make some small inventions and designs that were not planned.

Even if Xu Shiyang knew that this kind of thing was not easy to use, he would try his best to give appropriate compensation whenever necessary, just to give some reminders.

"Weapons don't need to be too exquisite. You have to consider the quality of the user and the possibility of equiping troops on a large scale."

Xu Shiyang said to Dai Zi:

"Just like this gun, it may be okay to use it for me, but it cannot be manufactured on a large scale, and the soldiers do not have the ability to carry out simple maintenance in the battlefield environment. Do you have to fight the enemy alone with one gun?"

"I'm not thinking well."

After Dai Zi expressed his understanding, Xu Shiyang changed his tone and said:

"However, this gun is really exquisite. I think with your current technology, some of my ideas may be realized."

"After a while, I will give you some rough picture pictures. You can try to see if you can help me create real objects, and don't worry. This may be something that takes a long time and is very invested."

"We need to be patient."

...

After coming out of the Qingzhou Arsenal, Xu Shiyang was still thinking about the production issues here.

The spring-rolled gun will naturally not be put into production. The use of the same barrel of the clamp and flintlock gun is gradually getting on track. Due to the differences in craftsmen's craftsmanship, after several water conservancy forging hammers are installed here, the craftsmen from Jiangnan adapt to the new weights and measures, Qingzhou's output will definitely exceed that of Juzhou.

Nowadays, after some workers and craftsmen are added, the musket production of Juzhou Arsenal maintains around 200 per month, half of the flintlock guns, and half of the flintlock guns are carbines (cavalry short guns) or pistols.

When Qingzhou is ready, maybe 300 muskets per month will be a short-term output.
