Chapter 17 Front-loading flintlock guns

The next morning, Robben did not sleep in and got up early. He was thinking about the things he had made for the hammer. He couldn't wait for the hammer to come to find him, so he got up and walked towards the blacksmith shop. When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, he found that the door was not closed. Robben walked directly into the house and found that the hammer was not in the front hall, but heard the sound of a gang from the forging furnace in the backyard, so he walked towards the backyard. When he arrived at the backyard, Robben saw that the hammer was wielding something, so he stepped forward and said hello.

When Tie Hammer saw Roben coming, he put down his work, wiped the sweat from his face, and said to Roben with a smile: "Lobben, it's so urgent. I came to find you Uncle Hammer early in the morning. Haha, don't worry, I've already made those little things on the table over there. You can see if it's suitable for the creation? The elder of me came here last night and arranged some things to create, so I won't hello." After saying that, he continued to pick up the Tie Hammer and started to hit the Tie with a slogan again.

Robben took a look and found that the iron hammer was the iron embryo of the anti-aircraft rocket launcher, which had already become a general shape. He felt a little moved. He was really anxious. He had already started to do it early this morning. So he thanked him like a hammer and walked to the other table to study the small things that the hammer had hit overnight yesterday.

Robben carefully checked and found that there was basically no problem, so he picked up the things, said goodbye to the hammer, and then returned home with these things. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the Great Elder walking towards him with a dozen tribe members. When he saw Robben, he raised his hand and greeted him, saying to Robben: "Roben, these 12 people are the craftsmen I have found for you. They have people from all aspects, and they should be able to meet your requirements. Now that people have come to you, let's go, let's go together, I'll take you to the alchemy laboratory assigned to you, not far from this." After that, he took the lead and walked forward slowly.

Hearing this, Robben bowed and bowed like the Great Elder to thank him, then followed everyone and followed the Great Elder. After turning a corner of the street, the Great Elder pointed to a clearly newly built wooden house on the side of the road and said to Robben: "Roben, this is here. It was originally built by your father for you, but that happened before it was built. Your father didn't come back. That day, he heard that you wanted an alchemy laboratory. Besides, you are not young and can own a house of your own, so I arranged people to improve the place, and also circled a yard for you at the back, and all the furniture inside were equipped for you. Do you see if you are satisfied or not? Do you have any other needs?"

Robben quickly thanked the Great Elder: "Thank you, the Great Elder. It's very good here. There's nothing short of it for the time being. I'll mention it to you if you need it. Don't worry." "That's good, Robben, then you'll be busy first. Leave some things to them. Oh, by the way, there's also gunpowder matters. You need to hurry up and produce them. If you have any difficulties, you'll come up with it. But the output must be kept up. Now the tribe has begun to produce bomb air defense rockets you designed. There is a lot of gunpowder demand, but we can't do that thing, so we can only work hard for you." "Okay, no problem, don't worry, I'll arrange for people to start learning to make gunpowder today." Robben agreed. The Great Elder was relieved when he heard Robben's life, so he said goodbye.

Seeing the Great Elder leaving, Robben turned around and looked at the 12 craftsmen assigned to him and greeted them: "Hello everyone, I am Robben. From today on, everyone is my own. I will ask everyone to take care of him in the future." The craftsmen quickly returned the gift and joked. The Great Elder said that Robben is an alchemist now. No one has seen alchemy before. They all want to learn from Robben to see what is strange.

So, a few people selected a leader and replied to Robben: "Young Master, don't be polite. Everyone is here to learn alchemy from you. If you have any questions, please tell us a few to do." Hearing the craftsman's words, Robben nodded and said, "Okay, I'll thank you everyone first. In this way, everyone first report their names. I have lost my memory and don't know everyone. I'm sorry. Also, don't call me Young Master in the future, just call me Robben, which sounds more friendly."

When the craftsmen heard Robben's words, they laughed friendly, and then elected the person who had just introduced to Robben. The man was not pretentious, and pointed at everyone and introduced to Robben: "Robben, I am Green. Their names are Lawrence, Robin, Dingding, Clinton, White, Grace, Matthew, Heglien, Parker, Clark." Green pointed at the people and introduced them to Robben one by one. Robben greeted everyone. After everyone introduced them, Robben immediately ordered: "Everyone, the Great Elder has already explained it just now. Now I will do my best to make gunpowder. Since this is the case, I will distribute a few raw materials, and you will find them as much as possible. After that, we will start to make gunpowder. First of all, saltpeter powder, which accounts for the largest proportion in gunpowder, so we must find more. The other two are yellowstone powder and charcoal. Let's go."

Hearing Robben's orders, everyone assigned them briefly and went to find a few things. There was no one in front of Robben. Seeing that no one was disturbed, Robben walked into the laboratory room and saw that there were all tables, chairs and benches. Robben nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the table and sat down, placed the parts he brought from the hammer on the table one by one, and then began to assemble.

After a while, Robben assembled the parts on the table into two strange things. Robben picked them up and tried the feel. It felt pretty good, and muttered: "Hahaha, I made the musket, but I don't know if it can be fired. This is just a front-mounted flintlock rifle I made based on my memory. I will try it out later. I don't know if the flint here can replace flint."

After making the musket, Robben was impatient, so he ran back to Ball to take out the remaining gunpowder last time, so he ran back to the backyard of the laboratory excitedly, erected a wooden stake ten meters away, and then started filling the gunpowder in. After the gunpowder was compacted, he began to press the steel balls in. It took a long time to load the bullets. So he picked up the gun and aimed sideways with his right hand, and put his left hand on his hip.

After following his own anger, Robben glanced carefully and then pulled the trigger in his hand. With a loud bang, a spark came out of the muzzle, and then a strong smoke came out. Robben choked and hurriedly avoided. When the smoke disappeared, Robben walked to the wooden stake that was the target to check. He saw the steel balls penetrated deep into the wooden stake, and his hand could not pull it out at all. Seeing the power of the musket, Robben was immediately happy. He finally had a self-defense weapon.
