Chapter 93 (1/2)

Stone bear likes to see Ferguson this proud little fresh meat, showing such a tangled.

Compared with making this guy miserable, Shi Xiong doesn't care much about whether he calls himself ”brother” or ”boss”.

It means that he's really moved. Otherwise, this guy will definitely behave like he did in xiaoyanshan just now. He won't say a word and will turn away.

People are so rude to refuse things they are not interested in.

Little salt hill is not far from the tribe, and lieutenant Ferguson returns to the tribe in a tangled way. But this guy didn't seem to make up his mind to call ”boss”, so he just followed the stone bear in silence.

Stone bear really wants to poke this guy's mind. This guy will be able to develop a Ferguson rifle that is at least 30 years ahead of this era in the next 10 years, which is enough to show his talent in firearms.

In fact, Lieutenant Ferguson, who had served in Flanders and Germany, had seen rifles from many countries. It was for this reason that he was able to combine the advantages of rifles from various countries and finally created the Ferguson rifle.

Although that rifle was not popularized in the end for some reasons, it is undeniable that this rifle created by this guy is definitely a gun worth remembering forever in the history of human firearms, because it is the first time in the history of human firearms to use the afterloading method.

Back to the tribe, the horse, the hard bone and the rabbit's mouth are all surrounded. The stone bear asks the rabbit's mouth to call the wood plane. Today, he is going to try to cast the first barrel in his life.

To be honest, Shi Xiong has never touched a gun in his previous life or this life. Even though he was very interested in guns in his previous life, as a law-abiding honest man, he can only drool at the high-definition gun wallpaper on the computer screen every day.

Stone bear would never touch a gun before he met Ferguson. Compared with steel-making and salt making, casting gun barrel is only a dream for stone bear.

Gun barrel is not an ordinary thing. No matter in any era, the steel and technology used in gun barrel are the most cutting-edge things. Although there are so many kinds of firearms in the future, few countries can master the barrel manufacturing technology.

It's not like steelmaking or salt making. If the steelmaking is not good, the big problem is to turn a furnace of hot metal into pig iron, just like the last time Shixiong steelmaking. If you can't make salt well, you can't eat it.

But the barrel is different. Once this thing is made, it has to be installed on the gun. If the quality of the barrel is not up to the standard, once the gun is filled with powder and the projectile is fired, the explosion will take human life.

So before the arrival of lieutenant Ferguson, even if stone bear really wanted to try to make his own gun, he never put it into action.

Now that lieutenant Ferguson is here, with this guy who knows a lot about guns, stone bear dare to make his own guns. It's not necessary to try the barrel with human life. With his eyes and hands, Lieutenant Ferguson can definitely judge the quality of the barrel. This guy has the ability!

Although the gun barrels of later generations are made of all kinds of special alloy steel, in this era, when the steel can only be refined by graphite crucible, the gun barrels used by the armies of all countries are still made of wrought iron or even pig iron.

Yes, in this era, rifle barrels in many European countries are made by casting. In the past, a blacksmith used to heat the gun barrel with wrought iron, forge it with a hammer and roll it up at the same time to form the gun barrel. However, the efficiency of this method was too low, so the casting method gradually replaced this manual method.

Although it is absolutely impractical to cast gun barrel in later generations, in this era when guns are all pre loaded, because the interval between each two guns is very long, and most of them are sub caliber bullets. In addition, the propellants in this era are black powder, and the explosion power is far lower than smokeless powder. Therefore, there are not many gun barrels in this era even if they explode.

Cast barrel is enough.
