When it comes to recruiting people, Hua Tong and Zheng Zheng were responsible for the matter, and Wu Yan completely liberated himself.

With the antidote from the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill in hand, as long as these two people and others have abnormal movements, it will inevitably be the end of the corpse worm breaking through the brain. If they repent in time, Wu Yan can also give them antidote in time.

Wu Yan began to study the firearms of the Qing Dynasty openly.

There is nothing to study. Basically, the firearms used in the Qing Dynasty were not much different from those used in the Ming Dynasty. Bird guns and clamping guns were still in use. The slightly more advanced flintlock guns were completely behind this era.

Simply put, when these guns are used, the user has to load gunpowder by himself, lead bullets and then ignite the fire by himself. The so-called flintlock rifle is actually to install flint on the bolt and use the Mars generated during the impact to ignite the gunpowder.

Not to mention it is raining, if the air is moister, it will be cooler.

In the Opium War, Britain had already used the "firing gun", which made thunder and mercury into a fire hat, and caused gunpowder by impacting the fire hat, which was similar to the guns of later generations.

If you compare the two, the former also needs to load gunpowder, while the latter is equivalent to directly loading bullets. There is no need to say much about the speed. After all, if there are too many people and guns, you can win no matter how slow the bullets are, because both guns can kill people.

In addition, the flintlock rifle can also prepare gunpowder and lead bullets in advance, wrap them in pieces of paper, and bite the paper shell and pour it into the mouth of the muzzle when using it.

Not too slow, it's a bit salty.

But the key point is that the flintlock rifle will have a dull fire every 7 rounds, and the firing rifle will have an average of 200 rounds, which will only cause dull fire.

The gap between these cannot be made up for by the number of people.

After the Opium War, the Qing Dynasty also imitated hundreds of troops, but it was limited to this.

Through Senggelinqin's relationship, Wu Yan got one of them, and after watching it for a while, he threw it aside.

"Rubbish."

This is Wu Yan after using the Zora character card. Anyway, it is a permanent character card. Wu Yan uses it whenever he wants to. If he doesn't want his head to be filled with a lot of knowledge and memory, then cancel the use of the character card.

However, even if Wu Yan did not stand at the leading level of the times, the firing guns imitated by the Qing Dynasty were rubbish in this era.

It was already 1851, and it was the middle of the 19th century.

According to Zorra's memory, ten years ago, Prussia, that is, Germany, had already relied on the Dereser M1841 rifle they developed, and could not find the North.

After years of development, France has begun to improve this back-hall reloading rifle. In 1857, six years later, the Chaposé rifle will be developed. Compared with the Deresé m1841, the range of the Chaposé rifle has reached 1,200 meters, and the initial speed of the bullet reaches 420 meters per second.

The most advanced flintlock guns in the Qing Dynasty had an effective range of only about fifty meters and a maximum range of only about 250 meters. It was said to be the maximum range, but even if you want to hit a target 150 meters away, it would be similar to the chance of winning the first prize in later generations when buying a lottery ticket.

Based on the fact that Britain has equipped more than 3 million guns of this type in front and after, what the British Army Colonel Hanger said can be used as an effective reference. He said: If you want to hit a target two hundred meters away, you might as well hit the moon directly, because the chances of the two are the same.

Not to mention that the maximum range of the Shaposai rifle is 1,200 meters. Even if it is only 500 meters, when the two armies face off, they can hit farther than you, fire faster than you, and less than you...

"No wonder I have one-third of the total population in the world, but I am beaten to find it in the east, west, south, and north."

After Wu Yan studied the anger of the Qing Dynasty, he directly gave up the idea of ​​improvement.

Combined with Zora's memory, Wu Yan chose a gun. The famous Mauser G98 was born in 1898. The first time he was invested in actual combat was the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900. The famous Hanyang made was a copy of this gun. The 98k in the chicken-eating game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is also an improved version of this gun, which was equipped by Germany in 1920.

"You are 50 years ahead of the Qing Dynasty, and I am 50 years ahead of you, right?"

After Wu Yan determined the goal, there were several problems that needed to be solved.

The first problem is smokeless gunpowder. The so-called smoke filled the gunpowder used in the past was smoked. After firing a shot, the smoke filled the gunpowder so that even the situation of the enemy opposite him could not be seen.

If hundreds of people shoot in a row, the smoke of gunpowder can choke people to death.

This problem is actually easy to solve. Not to mention that the Chinese are the ancestors of gunpowder, with the knowledge of Zora, a super villain scientist, Wu Yan can find someone to do it with a little advice.

The second problem is steelmaking. The Qing Dynasty actually attached great importance to the development of firearms, especially after the Opium War. After being beaten, it would definitely have a good memory. But the problem was that the Qing Dynasty did not have high-grade ore, so the steelmaking technology was unqualified. Not to mention the Mauser G98, even if it was made, there were many defective products for flintlock rifles.

It was not only the Qing Dynasty, but also the modern era, which is why there are obviously many iron ore reserves, but they still need to be imported.

Of course, this has the reasons from the perspective of industrial economy and is also related to the environment of developed world trade.

If you really improve the steelmaking technology and look for relatively high-grade iron ore, you can also forge steel that meets the requirements of manufacturing Mauser G98.

It just so happened that Zora also knew a little. Although he was not a top expert in the steelmaking industry, he had the vision and knowledge that was ahead of the times. Born in 1870, he lived to the 21st century and devoted his consciousness to the computer and turned it into a super database.

Not only can it give Wu Yan an advanced steelmaking technology that can be used in this era, but it can also provide the mining-rich areas that have not yet been discovered in China.

"No wonder they beat you. If I knew you were so knowledgeable, I would beat you too. Dog stuff. Why do you remember the distribution map of China's mining area?"

Wu Yan sighed and thought of the third problem he needed to solve.

The main body of Mauser g98 is steel and wood. After these two problems are solved, they will be bullets. Only Wu Yan's gunpowder can of course not make bullets, because the bullets of g98 are already full metal shells.

The bullet consists of four parts: a bullet, a shell, a charge and a base fire.

The striker hits the bottom fire, igniting the loaded gunpowder, generating propulsion force to make the warhead in the shell fly out at high speed until it falls due to gravity and resistance, stops flying, and hits the target.

The range of the Mauser g98 is 2,000 meters, the effective range is 800 meters, and the caliber of the bullet is 7.62. To achieve this effect, the process requirements of the bullet will be very high.

Moreover, the shell should not be too hard, otherwise it will damage the barrel. At the very least, it will destroy the gun, and at the worst, it will explode the chamber.

"It is definitely not possible to use brass. This thing is too expensive. Even if I can mine, I still have to study the manufacturing method of copper clad steel. As for the fully automatic machine tool... it is hard to cook without rice. It is impossible to make it for the time being, so I need to make a shell and a bullet head separately, and then manually load gunpowder and press the bottom fire device."

While thinking, Wu Yan made a detailed plan.

The old rule is that Kryptonian characters are used. Not to mention that most people dare not enter his study now. Even if someone comes in and calls experts from all over the world, they cannot decipher the secrets.

Although there are also simple patterns, which are 50 years ahead of the world's technology, how can it be so easy to guess by looking at pictures?

“The last question.”

Wu Yan has basically solved technical problems, so he needs to consider practical issues.

"Money, land, people."

Wu Yan is not planning to take out this thing for the time being, and he will talk about it until he rebelled, so he wants to find a secret base.

"The Beggars' Sect should have a lot of money and many people, but the Beggars' Sect's people are not trustworthy and cannot be trusted. They are all at the level of becoming beggars. What else can I expect? However, it is still okay to use them to open up wastelands, build factories, mine and cut down trees, etc."

After thinking about it, Wu Yan decided to continue to let Hua Tong and Zheng Shi Ye take advantage of the public and private forces while recruiting troops and attracting him a group of obedient people.

It doesn’t matter if you are disobedient, use the Sanzi Corpse Brain Divine Pill when it should be used.

"Which place is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is difficult for people inside to come out. People outside generally cannot get in?"

Wu Yan looked at the Qing map in his room, and his eyes quickly focused on an island that was neither close nor far away from the capital.

“Bodhi Island.”

Bodhi Island is located in the Bohai Bay, very close to the land and not small in size, but Wu Yan thought about it carefully and gave up directly.

Firstly, Bodhi Island is indeed very close to the land, and secondly, this island already has a master. The Chaoyin Temple on it was built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty.

Monk Wu Yan is not afraid and dares to kill, but it will be very troublesome in the future.

He needs to secretly build a gun, don't kill anyone.

"Yuetuo Island."

Wu Yan saw Yuetuo Island, which is very close to Bodhi Island.

Yuetuo Island has a land area of ​​10.5 square kilometers and is 4.8 kilometers away from land. Swimming is even more deadly than running a full marathon.

"Those group of monks on Bodhi Island can be regarded as my eyes and ears. After all, monks are very afraid of death."

When Wu Yan thought of threatening the monk, he had no psychological burden at all. As for destroying the ecological environment of Yuetuo Island... The Second Opium War was about to begin, and the Qing and French War that turned China and Vietnam into Vietnam was soon. It was not many years since the Japanese people felt that they could. Forty-nine years and the Eight-Nation Alliance would invade China forty-nine years, and they still had a good deal of the ecological environment.

"When I think about it this way, my enemy is really the whole world. I have to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty inside, and I have to face the Western powers outside. There is also a Tsarist Russian wolf in the north, and there is a Japan next to me who is more and more and more and more and more and more and more that we cannot do it. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Wu Yan took a deep breath, without drawing a sign on the map, and called Hua Tong directly.

"I have a very important task to hand over to you, but before that, I need to let you see something."

The smile on Wu Yan's face when he spoke seemed to Hua Tong very much like the villains in the drama.
