Chapter 526 The first gun made by Daqin!
With the establishment of Firearms Cheng, Daqin officially started the research and development of hot weapons that belonged to Daqin.
The first step, of course, is imitation.
Not to mention the many advantages of doing this, it can also help Daqin, who is just starting out, to accumulate experience.
The temptation of being able to manufacture firearms independently in a short period of time is not something they can resist.
What's more, the popularity of new coins is imminent.
The escort team's demand for firearms is even more imminent.
After being personally taught by Su Yu today, Daniel and Qiyu thoroughly understood the function of the various parts of the firearm, and began to disassemble and manufacture molds.
Because of the original parts, this step is very easy.
The only thing that made them a little bit tricky was the making of the spring in the firearm.
In fact, it is just an ordinary spring, and objects that can play a similar role have appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.
It is specially used to be installed in the crossbow arrow to enhance the power.
However, today's Daqin technology is limited. Not only is the spring difficult to manufacture, but the output is low, and the force accuracy is completely unable to meet the accuracy required by firearms.
Even the size and length cannot be satisfied because of the material.
To put it bluntly, with the current Daqin technology, it is basically impossible to make high-precision springs for firearms.
In the end, Lao Zhao could only find Su Yu again, and chose to buy finished springs directly from him as an emergency.
As for when Daqin's firearms can use their own springs.
It depends on when the metal smelting industry, which is developing steadily, can reach this standard.
After solving the spring problem, the rest went very smoothly.
Molding, pouring, grinding...
After some series of procedures are completed, it only takes half a month.
The first firearm, except for the spring, was made by Da Qin independently, and it appeared in the hands of Daniel.
Su Yu took the rifle handed over by Daniel, and he couldn't help nodding because of the extremely heavy weight.
This gun is the first long gun that Daqin imitated based on FN-SCAR.
Due to material limitations, except for some non-essential positions such as grips, gun stocks, and handguards, wood is used instead.
The rest of the parts are made of pure steel.
So the weight is almost double that of the real SCAR.
However, such a weight is not an unbearable weight for Da Qin soldiers who wear armor and swords all year round.
Shaking the gun body in his hand, the faint sound of parts crashing into Su Yu's ears caused a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.
as predicted.
Parts and gun body structure are somewhat loose and unstable.
This was what Su Yu had expected before he got the gun.
After all, Daqin's processing of metal parts is still far from the precision of later generations.
Even with the original gun parts to open the mold, the subsequent manual grinding cannot avoid this problem.
But it's not a big deal.
At most, the life of the gun will be reduced a lot, and the accuracy will also be reduced a lot.
Lao Zhao and the others are very open about this aspect.
After all, it is an imitation product, its power can be greater than that of Qin Nu, and it can hit farther than Qin Nu.
As for the precision or something, those are slowly developed.
Anyway, as soon as this rifle is obtained, the stance of "Da Da Da...〃`..." with a loud noise and fire-breathing can scare many enemies.
Su Yu took the Qin-made firearm in his hand and continued to check.
Insurance, magazines, linkage...
The slightly astringent rustling sound made Su Yu's brows furrow deeper and deeper.
Without the protection of gun oil, the life of firearms, and the rate of rust, are probably much higher than those with gun oil protection.
And the failure rate is likely to be very high.
However, the current chemical industry in Daqin, whether in terms of technology or other aspects, is far from being able to produce lubricants such as polynitrosilicon.
and many more!
Thinking of the chemical industry, Su Yu's heart thumped again.
Now Daqin's firearms, gunpowder, warheads, and cartridges are all easy to deal with, but... what about primers?
The primers of bullets are generally made of mercury-free ingredients such as tetrazene, lead stiphenate, antimony sulfide, and potassium hypochlorite.
No matter how bad it is, there must be the participation of mercury fulminate?
If the problem of the primer cannot be solved, the smokeless powder inside the bullet cannot be ignited, and Daqin's firearms will become a joke!
Su Yu rubbed his temples.
Sure enough, this kind of thing that brings cross-era technology to Daqin still needs to be developed step by step.
If you want to run before you learn to walk, the things that have been skipped in the middle will have to be made up in one breath sooner or later, and will be digested slowly.
"."Su Yu, what's wrong?" The big cow on the side saw Su Yu's headache, and his heart tightened.
Could it be that this firearm is not up to the standard Su Yu wanted?
Or have you, Qiyu, and all the craftsmen neglected something?
Su Yu took a deep breath and waved his hand: "It's okay, I just thought of some troublesome things, let's try the gun first. 35
This question, (is the money good?) He is going to discuss it with Lao Zhao again. If it doesn't work, he may have to rely on the system to solve the problem of primer manufacturing.
Su Yu took it out of his pocket and ten rounds of 5.56 caliber rifle popped into his hand.
With the improvement of Daqin gunpowder and copper smelting technology, the price of bullets in the system also dropped rapidly.
From the sky-high price of 300,000 pistol bullets at the beginning, it has now dropped to only about 1,000 yuan per conventional rifle bullet.
It can be said that the price has plunged.
Press the bullets one by one like a steel magazine, and then push them into the receiver.
"click"
A metal chamber sound different from modern firearms came, and the bullet was loaded!
After closing the insurance, Su Yu took the gun and came to the specially set up shooting range outside the workshop.
Here today, the first shot of Qin-made firearms will be fired!
