Chapter 342 Can't be such a coincidence?
Sometimes when Xiao Chen chats with people, he will inadvertently talk about modern firearms, such as grenades, revolvers, flying eagles, sniper rifles, anti-material weapons...
He spoke cheerfully, but the listeners just laughed it off, thinking that the boss was talking nonsense again.
But Xiao Ye heard everything in his ears and kept it in his heart.
Sometimes I would ask Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen knew that he was addicted to this thing, and would explain it to him in detail.
Xiao Chen said it was fine, but Xiao Ye also remembered everything in his heart.
So what he wants now is not only muskets, but also grenades. I heard from my brother that these two things can be manufactured in theory, but they are limited to the current industrial level and cannot be mass-produced.
Who can make Xiao Ye's dream come true?
Then there is only the crazy brother.
"I also talked to the boss about this, and he gave me a lot of inspiration, but during this period of time, I was busy developing artillery, so I didn't think about it again. If you don't tell me, I forgot it, but it's fine at night, but it can be used for research. Just for fun... As for the grenade you mentioned, it's similar to mine, just with a few strings."
Maniac now wants people, someone needs tools and tools, people are the most capable craftsmen, tools are the most advanced, and many of them are made according to Xiao Chen's suggestion, so it is very easy to make anything, he just needs Hand over your own design drawings to your subordinates, and they will soon be able to follow the diagram and complete it seriously.
So in less than ten days, the lunatic created the world's first truly modern revolver.
Of course, the structure and craftsmanship are still far inferior to the current revolvers, but the power, accuracy and safety have fully met the requirements of actual combat.
It's just because the manufacturing process is too cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive, so although it can be used in actual combat, it cannot be mass-produced at all, and the cost is too high!
If all the costs are included, it would cost several thousand taels of silver to make one! This is not counting the time cost.
So it is impossible to equip troops.
In addition, this kind of revolver is still a pistol after all, and its effective range is only 30 steps, that is, about 50 meters, which is not very meaningful for large-scale combat.
Their arsenal is now mass-producing all long guns, the kind with an effective range of two hundred paces!
Although the functions in all aspects are far inferior to the revolver, it is more practical.
In fact, the previous matchlock gun was changed to a flintlock gun, the projectile was also loaded from the front chamber to the breech chamber, and the inside of the barrel was also rifled, so that the accuracy performance was greatly improved.
However, due to limited technical conditions, the lunatic could not pull out the rifling in the barrel made of fine steel, so he could only add a layer of softer alloy to the barrel, so that he could barely pull out the rifling.
This inevitably leads to a big defect, that is, the service life of the barrel is greatly shortened. After dozens of projectiles are fired, the barrel must be replaced.
However, this has already made Zhuge Xiaosheng Lin Yue and the others ecstatic!
One is that the shooting accuracy is greatly enhanced, the second is that the shooting speed has been accelerated a lot, and the firepower continues to increase, and the third is that this kind of flintlock is basically not affected by the weather.
You must know that the previous arquebus guns cannot be used at all when it rains!
It is nothing more than carrying a batch of spare barrels, which can fully meet the requirements of actual combat and has exceeded our expectations!
Originally, they didn't have much hope for the arsenal of Madman, because it was only a few days after it was established. When they can produce guns that can be put into actual combat, it will be a year of the monkey?
I didn't expect that in less than a month, the lunatic had already developed such an awesome musket and it could be mass-produced...
Madman, madman, you are not a madman at all, you are a god!
God of weapons, you deserve it!
A man like a lunatic now has three friends.
The first one is Xiao Chen, he is not only the boss, but also a friend, and he is also the friend who can chat the most.
If the two of them are not too busy now, they can talk for three days and three nights without getting tired.
The second friend is Liu Fuhai, and Madman has a lot in common with him. Although it is easy to quarrel over a certain technical detail, it feels right, quarreling, and happy.
The third friend is Xiao Ye, their way of getting along is not chatting, but silence, the kind where they won't feel embarrassed if they don't say a word for a long time.
It can be said that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.
So seeing that Xiao Ye likes revolvers, he was willing to take time out of his busy schedule to make two for him, and also made hundreds of special projectiles for him.
Xiao Ye knew that his brother would not allow him to fire guns, so he hid the two guns very secretly, even sister Ling'er didn't know.
The main reason is that no one would have thought that little Xiao Ye would have a secret.
He sneaked out of the city last night and found a place where no one was there to spend a whole night of gun addiction!
Not to mention how happy it is!
I wanted to sleep late today, but unexpectedly, I was forcibly pulled out by sister Linger to go shopping with me. I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes. As soon as I sat down on my buttocks, I immediately fell asleep.
"This kid became a thief last night?" Ye Baiqing remembered that this kid was always full of energy and had nowhere to use his strength. Why is he still listless today?
"Are you sick?" Xiao Chen also felt that his condition was not right, so he stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, it was cool and all right.
The problem is the kid never gets sick.
But he heard footsteps outside, the door was unlocked, and Xu Wenzhou walked in with a few of his men smiling.
"Hey, when are you going to let us go? It's not right for you to lock us up like this, it's considered illegal detention!" I learned this word from my brother Xiao Chen. In short, all the new words that the big guy uses now are Learned from Xiao Chen.
Including the phrase 'what the hell'.
"We are the subordinates of Master Liu Mofeng. Master Liu is not only the main hall of the punishment hall, but also the leader of the West Factory. He also serves as the hall of the soldiers and horses in our Changshan Prefecture, so he is in charge of the security of the entire Yanyun County and Changshan City. Master Liu authorized us to bring any suspicious person back for interrogation, so it is not illegal."
Xu Wenzhou patiently explained to Duan Linger.
"You're talking nonsense!" Duan Ling'er felt confused after saying that, and turned to look at Ye Baiqing, "Is he talking nonsense?"
"Special period, special management, Mr. Liu is right to do this. It has also been approved by Mr. Chen...Master, and our old...Governor Xiao also agreed." Ye Baiqing laughed.
"This gentleman is a scholar at first glance, and he is really reasonable. In fact, I am just asking you a few words, but it is not considered an interrogation... May I ask your name, sir?" Xu Wenzhou ordered his men to take out papers and prepare to record. They are all registered.
"My name is Ye Baiqing." Ye Baiqing smiled.
"Ye Baiqing...why does it have the same name as our Mr. Ye?" Xu Wenzhou was taken aback, it couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?
"It just happened to have the same name." Ye Baiqing said.
