my life simulator

Tong Zhilin, a Jinshan Weiqian household, is not good at fighting, but he is very good at farming.Well, the main business of the Daming Guard is farming.

"This is a unique skill handed down from our Lu family."

Lu Li had an inscrutable expression on his face, "The grain seeds that can produce thousands of catties per mu, and the fat and strong poultry are all cultivated by our family."

Family skills?Bred by your family?

Worthy of being a famous family!Sure enough, the background is profound.

Tong Zhilin sighed secretly.

"Master Tong..."

"Don't be an adult, if you don't dislike it, just call me an old brother."

Tong Zhilin waved his hand, "With our friendship, we don't need to be so pretentious. Besides, I, Qiu Ba, can still show off in front of you, a scholar?"

"Brother Tong."

Lu Li was a good friend, and he became a brother right away.

"Brother Lu!"

Tong Zhilin also called Lu Li "brother" with a smile, which seemed to draw him closer.

"Brother Tong, since you are short of seeds, I still have a lot of grain seeds here. Come down, I will send some farming experts to your side to guide the soldiers in farming!"

After the seeds in Lu Li's hand were planted in his own land, there were still a lot left.For this high-yield crop, if you expand the planting area earlier, you can get more food.

As for whether the Jinshanwei was cheaper, hehe... Lu Li already regarded the Jinshanwei as his own.With Lu Li's methods, it was only a matter of time before Jinshanwei got the surname Lu.

"Is this true?"

Tong Zhilin was both surprised and delighted, "Will you pass on your family's special skills to my soldiers?"

"What's the relationship between us? What's yours is mine. Why are you so clear?"

Lu Li muttered to himself, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine.

"Hahahaha! Good! Good! Brother Lu is really bold!"

Tong Zhilin laughed out loud, his face full of joy.

Next, Lu Li took Tong Zhilin around the Lujiazhuang, saw the scary-sized pigs and cows, and also saw the various machines in the Lujia workshop, and his admiration for Lu Li grew deeper and deeper.

Not only admiration, but also awe.

The corpses of the 23 Japanese pirates back then were unlikely to have committed suicide collectively.Tong Zhilin had already guessed in his heart that the death of these pirates was definitely related to Lu Li.

Such a person who is capable of writing and martial arts must have a great future, which is far beyond what he can compare with a poor and settled family.

What is the secret to success?It is to follow the right person at the critical moment!

Once Mr. Lu is brilliant, I will also be able to cling to the tail of the dragon, accompanied by the wind and rain, and soar into the sky!

Chapter 384 Jiajing Type [-] Rifle

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

These agricultural experts brought the tenants, cattle, and seeds of various crops from Lujiazhuang to Tong Zhilin's Zhujing Thousand Households, and started a vigorous spring plowing production.

In addition to farming, the construction of Lu Li's "industrial zone" also required manpower. He also hired a lot of people from Tong Zhilin's Thousand Households to work and provide money and food, which relieved the food shortage problem of Zhujing Thousand Households.

When Commander Liu of the Jinshan Guard found out about this, he immediately found Lu Li and said: We are all brothers, so we can't favor one over another!

Lu Li immediately agreed that Jinshanwei's spring plowing would be done by these agricultural experts with a team. The seeds would also be provided by Lu Li, and he also recruited workers from Jinshanwei. Money for food.

As a result, Jin Shanwei couldn't help but feel very grateful to Lu Li.

The progress of infiltrating Jinshanwei is much faster than expected.

At first, Lu Li thought that after Tong Zhilin's cooperation with Tong Zhilin for a period of time, others would join in after seeing the benefits, but he didn't expect Jinshanwei to be so poor, and he couldn't wait to come to him when he saw a little benefit.

That's really... Orcs will never be slaves, unless they have food and shelter.

In this way, Lu Li's box of pearls was continuously spent.

Spending money like running water, but the work progress has increased significantly.

In addition to the manpower for agricultural production, in Luli's industrial area, brick kilns, coking, ore dressing, iron-making blast furnaces, and even various workshops have received a large number of manpower, and various infrastructure constructions are constantly speeding up.

Lu Li didn't take care of the agricultural production. After being enlightened, the agricultural experts, with their family tenants and Jinshanwei's staff, worked so hard that Lu Li didn't need to intervene 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 built a port wharf on the bank of the Jing River near the workshop area.

Here I have to talk about the building material cement.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty already had the prototype of cement, which was called Sanhe soil. The proportion of ingredients was similar to that of cement, and it only needed to be mixed and fired.

When Lu Li saw Ming Dynasty craftsmen building roads and building concrete, 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 passed numerous times as a champion in the college entrance examination and even studied engineering, has no problem getting a cement kiln out of it.

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

Although there is not enough steel to make reinforced concrete, but... using bamboo poles instead of steel bars can still be used, and the effect is not bad.

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

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

The blast furnace produced the first iron and steel.

After sampling and testing, Lu Li confirmed that the steel was qualified medium-carbon steel, stronger and harder than low-carbon steel, but not as brittle as high-carbon steel, so it was very suitable for making gun barrels.

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

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

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

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

After the red steel is kneaded into steel rods, the end of the rotary extrusion mechanism protrudes a core strip, and these red steel rods continue to rotate and squeeze, and the core strip penetrates the middle of the red steel rods.

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

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

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

Speaking of rifling, many time travelers have misunderstood it, always thinking that rifling is difficult to process and difficult to manufacture, but in fact... this thing is really simple.

The rifling is not drilled, nor chiselled, nor carved, but... Lah!

To hold the barrel in place, use something similar to the mandrel used to make seamless steel pipe, and pass it through the bore.On this core strip, cut a hole, put a knife on it, and pull a rifling line out.

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

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

The rifle that Lu Li shot was more than 300 years ahead of the world in this day and age, and it adopted a design similar to that of the Franco-Prussian War.

The thunderbolt is ignited, the firing pin is fired, and the ammunition is fixed in a paper shell.Except for the lack of metal bullet casings, it is no different from the single-shot rifle shooting method of later generations.

Pull the gun bolt, open the gun chamber, load the bullet, the gun bolt returns and locks, and the trigger is fired.With this shooting method, the rate of fire can hit the whole world, and it is not a problem to shoot more than a dozen shots in one minute.

The bolt and barrel 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. Adding a little manganese ore into the iron smelting will give it enough strength, hardness, elasticity, and toughness.

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

Time passed day by day, and by the end of May, the first batch of one hundred firing pin breech-loading rifles had been manufactured.

In fact, the output should have been more, and the barrels are easy to process. There are already more than 2000 barrels in the warehouse.It's just that the machining of the bolt chambers is much more difficult. Even with the hydraulic machine tools that Lu Li made, they didn't produce too many bolt chambers.

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

With this kind of weapon that has been ahead of the world for more than 300 years, it is completely possible to hit the world.

"Has it been tested for quality?"

Lu Li picked up a rifle, stretched out his hand to pull the bolt, and the polished and smooth barrel reflected the figure like a mirror.

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

Guo Dayuan, a master craftsman in charge of gun manufacturing, quickly answered.

This Guo Dayuan was originally a blacksmith of Jinshanwei, who used to be in charge of making muskets, but... Jinshanwei was rotten, and his gun-making skills were not worth eating.

At Lu Li's place, Guo Dayuan was finally able to display his strengths.

"Did it pass the quality inspection?"

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

Walking out of the warehouse with the rifle in hand, Lu Li took another box of cardboard ammunition from the ammunition depot, turned around and walked to the shooting range near the forest.

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

Arriving at the shooting range, Guo Dayuan pointed to the targets erected on the shooting range, and said to Lu Li: "According to your request, I have prepared 200-meter targets, 400-meter targets, 800-meter targets and [-]-meter targets. Each target has a Ten millimeter steel."

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

"Good job!"

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

Lu Li didn't start shooting right away, so he observed the gun first.

This rifle has a total length of 1.2 meters, a total weight of 10 kg, and a caliber of 10 mm. It uses black powder in a cardboard case and fires [-] mm conical lead bullets.There is also a [-] cm long three-edged bayonet equipped with the gun.

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

Don't know how powerful it is?

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

"Oh!"

A puff of gunpowder smoke was ejected from the muzzle of the gun, and the column of smoke rushed more than two meters away.

Black powder is the smoke.This is also impossible.

Lu Li was shaken slightly by the recoil of the firing, and the bullet that came out of the chamber roared through the air, and slammed heavily on the steel plate of the [-]-meter target in front of him.

Lu Li walked up to the [-]-meter target with his gun in hand, and saw a hole was punched through the steel plate of the [-]-meter target.

The power to penetrate a ten-millimeter steel plate at a hundred meters is terrifying!Even iron cans with full-body plate armor can be worn in pairs.

Next, Lu Li tested the 200-meter target, the 400-meter target and the 800-meter target respectively.

The 200-meter target also penetrated the steel plate.

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

The 800-meter target has only one pit in the steel plate, which cannot be pierced.

But... this is already scary!

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

It's no wonder that when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, Seng Gelinqin's [-] cavalry charged and were shot and wiped out. The enemy only suffered a dozen casualties.

It takes at least 800 minute for the cavalry to charge a distance of 1 meters.

During this 1 minute, a firing pin breech-loading rifle can fire about fifteen times.

There were 6000 people in the original Eight-Power Allied Forces. Even if only 1 people lined up to shoot, they could fire 1 rounds of bullets in one minute!Not counting artillery!

This overwhelming barrage of guns and bullets will kill you if you touch it, and you will die if you rub it. It is no wonder that the charge of [-] cavalry was directly defeated.

If this example of a duel between a cold weapon and a hot weapon does not reflect the power of a firing-pin breech-loading gun, then change another example.

During the Franco-Prussian War, Prussia used firing-pin breech-loading guns, while France used muzzle-loading flintlocks.The end is... the French army of 60 was blown up!

Today, with such a rifle that has been ahead of the world for 300 years, it is enough to crush all dissatisfaction.

"Very good! Very good! This gun is not bad."

Lu Li praised Guo Dayuan next to him: "Craftsman Guo has done a lot of hard work, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. The wages of the rest of the craftsmen will be doubled this month."
