Chu San handed the iron gun to her. Zhou Jiaojiao knew that modern guns were made of steel, but the charcoal fire at this moment could not reach the temperature for steelmaking. It was good enough that she could forge the iron, but she was a little worried that the iron gun would be too hot to touch and might explode.
However, in her previous life, she had seen some collectors collecting pistols made of pig iron.
"Did you get the bullet casing out?"
"I've got it." Chu San handed it to her, a little puzzled. "Madam, I've tried to make this bullet casing as thin as possible. I wonder if it can meet your requirements."
"The copper core and lead core you mentioned... I did it just as it was written."
"Let me give it a try..."
Zhou Jiaojiao was also unsure.
She had asked Lord Mo to collect some materials for her a long time ago. A bullet is composed of four parts: cartridge case, primer, propellant and warhead.
The assembly is simple, and after a few bullets come out, it looks pretty nice.
"Come on, let's go out and try it."
Zhou Jiaojiao and Chu San naturally had to tell Guard Li before leaving.
The prince was a little confused when he saw them leave, but he didn't ask any further questions, so naturally the others didn't stop them.
Zhou Jiaojiao, wearing a raincoat, walked around with Chu San and found traces of wild boar.
"Let me try the weapon." Zhou Jiaojiao was actually still a little scared, mainly because she was afraid that the gun would explode and her hand would be blown off. To be on the safe side, she did not fire the first shot herself, but put the pistol far away. She made a copper pull rope herself, and used the rain to make the wild boars lose their vigilance in their den. She aimed directly at one of them and pulled the raft down.
With a snap, Zhou Jiaojiao only felt the copper wire in her hand vibrate, and then she heard the wild boar screaming and running out like crazy.
Zhou Jiaojiao hurried over and took the gun back.
When I touched it, the pistol was not very hot at all, and the surface looked intact, with no cracks.
"Husband, let's catch up with the wild boar!" Zhou Jiaojiao restrained her excitement and was held by Chu San as they quickly chased the wild boar in the rain.
The wild boar ran a short distance before it fell to the ground, still screaming, with blood all over the ground.
Zhou Jiaojiao directly put the wild boar into the space.
"Husband, let's go shoot another one." This time Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to try it herself with the gun.
Chu San carried her to a place not far from the wild boar's den. One of the wild boars that had run away in panic came back after it calmed down, which was a good opportunity to test the waters.
As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao raised the pistol, Chu San reached out to grab it and shot her before she could say anything.
His archery skills were already pretty good, and even though it was his first time holding a gun, he was able to accurately hit a wild boar. This time it was a small wild boar, and after a scream, it didn't last for a few seconds before it fell to the ground and died.
Zhou Jiaojiao came back to her senses at this time and angrily hit his chest with her arm, "Husband, what are you doing!"
"I know this weapon is dangerous." Chu San explained while rubbing his chest, "I think my hands are thicker. If something really happens, I won't be seriously injured. But you are different, my lady. You have delicate skin. What if you get seriously injured?"
"How dare you!" Zhou Jiaojiao was almost furious. "Do you know how serious the consequences would be if this thing exploded? It might even shatter your finger bones."
"It's so dangerous, let's not do it." Chu San frowned instantly, and his passion for the gun instantly cooled down, and he even felt a little disgusted.
Zhou Jiaojiao instantly understood what he was thinking and said helplessly, "Are you stupid? It would only be an accident if something went wrong with this thing. But compared to standing and being assassinated, it's still a very good weapon. Just like the Thunderbolt, it's easier to hit. The Thunderbolt's target is too big, so it's easy to dodge it."
"Is your hand okay? How does it feel? Is the gun barrel hot?" Zhou Jiaojiao touched his hand to check.
This time Chu San looked at her obediently.
"It's okay, there's just a little vibration. I feel it's because of the bullet." Although Chu San didn't understand this principle, he could still sense some small problems.
"I'll try again."
In the end, Chu San fired six shots and killed several wild boars before he felt the gun barrel was a little numb. In fact, this was because there was not much shock absorption inside.
"Let's go back first."
The two men took the wild boar down.
Zhou Jiaojiao was thinking about how to make this weapon better and was struggling with the issues that needed improvement.
Chu Sanze paid close attention to the deaths of several wild boars. He carried the wild boars to the straw shed, took out a knife, cut open the wild boars' skin, and saw that the wounds in the wild boars' stomachs were quite serious, their organs were ruptured, and they died of heavy blood loss.
Chu San's pupils shrank as he realized that the lethality of this weapon was indeed comparable to that of the Thunderbolt.
After discussing with Zhou Jiaojiao, he decided to tell the prince about the weapon.
Since neither of them is planning to become emperor, they might as well just cling to someone powerful.
Then there's no need to hide this matter.
So as to avoid making the other party suspicious.
Chu San walked towards the prince.
The prince was reading a book by the light of the fire, but he didn't turn a page for a long time, which showed that he was not concentrating on reading.
"Mr. Zhou."
For safety reasons, Chu San still used this name.
"Brother Chu, what's the matter?" Although the prince said this, he had already sat up quickly and straightened his clothes. If you looked closely, you could see his graceful and elegant temperament.
"Well, we've developed a weapon based on the principles of the Sky-Shattering Thunder. Mr. Zhou, would you like to go take a look with Guard Li?"
"New weapon?" The prince was a little surprised.
Although he had known for a long time that Chu San was not doing the blacksmithing for fun, he never thought that he was making weapons.
It's also related to Thunder.
You know, the existence of the Shocking Thunder was enough to surprise him. This thing only existed in rumors. He never thought that his third royal brother had actually built it secretly a long time ago, and it was discovered by Chu San and others when they left Yuzhou. If it weren't for this, he would still not know about the existence of the Shocking Thunder.
"Yes." Chu San was quite frank.
The prince nodded, looking somewhat expectant. "Okay, then I'll go with you to take a look."
Seeing this, the counselor next to him hurriedly followed.
Chu San didn't care either.
He had already prepared prey and bullets, and led the prince and guard Li out of the cave.
"Your Highness, please look."
Chu San did not hide outside and first released a lively and jumping prey. Then he pressed the button in front of them. With a bang, the pheasant fell down and died.
Guard Li was so frightened that he subconsciously drew his sword to protect the prince.
The prince understood, and he looked at the gun in Chu San's hand with some surprise and caution.
Chu San handed the gun to him casually.
"Your Highness, you can take a look at it. However, since it's just been developed, I'm not sure if there are any flaws. So far, the recoil is a bit strong, and the barrel is a bit hot."
