Sometimes when Xiao Chen was chatting with people, he would casually talk about modern firearms, grenades, revolvers, flying eagles, sniper rifles, anti-material weapons...
He spoke cheerfully, but those who listened just laughed it off, thinking that the boss was talking nonsense again.
But Xiao Ye heard everything and remembered it in his heart.
Sometimes I would ask Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen knew that he was addicted to this stuff and would explain it to him in detail.
Xiao Chen just said it, but Xiao Ye also remembered it all in his heart.
So what he wants now is not only muskets, but also grenades. My brother said that both of these 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 have also talked with the boss about this, and he has given me a lot of inspiration. However, I have been busy developing artillery during this period, so I have not thought about it anymore. I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me, but I have nothing to do tonight, so I can use it for research. Just for fun... As for the grenade you mentioned, it is similar to my thunder and fire bomb, but it lacks a string."
The madman now needs people, tools, and tools. People are the most capable craftsmen, and the tools are the most advanced. Many of them are made based on Xiao Chen's suggestions, so it is easy to make anything. He only needs Give your design drawings to your subordinates, and they will quickly follow the drawings and complete them carefully.
So in less than ten days, the madman created the world's first truly modern revolver.
Of course, the structure and craftsmanship are still far inferior to today's revolvers, but the power, accuracy and safety have fully met actual combat requirements.
It's just because the manufacturing process is too cumbersome and time-consuming and laborious, so although it can be used in actual combat, it cannot be mass-produced at all, and the cost is too high!
If all costs are included, it would cost several thousand taels of silver to make one! This doesn’t even count the time cost.
So equipping the troops was impossible.
In addition, this kind of revolver is still a pistol after all, and its effective range is only thirty steps, which is about fifty meters. This is not of great significance for large-scale operations.
Their arsenal is now mass-producing long guns with an effective range of up to 200 steps!
Although the functions in all aspects are far inferior to the revolver, it is highly practical.
In fact, the previous matchlock gun was changed to a flintlock gun, the projectile was changed from front chamber loading to breech loading, and the inside of the barrel was rifled, which greatly improved the accuracy.
However, due to technical limitations, the madman 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 flaw, which is that 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!
First, the shooting accuracy has been greatly enhanced. Second, the shooting speed has been greatly accelerated and the firepower has continued to increase. Third, this flintlock gun is basically not affected by the weather.
You must know that the previous matchlock gun could not be used at all when it rained!
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 had only been established for a few days. By the time they were able to produce guns that could be put into actual combat, would it be too late?
I didn’t expect that in less than a month, the madman had already developed such an awesome musket and could mass-produce it...
Madman, madman, you are not mad at all, you are God!
God of Weapons, you deserve the title!
A person like Madman now has three friends.
The first one is Xiao Chen. He is both the boss and a friend, and he is also the best friend to talk to.
If they weren't both too busy right now, they could talk for three days and three nights without getting tired.
The second friend is Liu Fuhai. Madman and him have a lot in common. Although it is easy to quarrel over certain technical details, it feels right, noisy, and happy.
The third friend is Xiao Ye. Their way of getting along is not chatting, but silence. They don't feel awkward even 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 liked revolvers, he was willing to take time out of his busy schedule to help him make two, and also made hundreds of special projectiles for him.
Xiao Ye knew that his brother wouldn't allow him to use the musket, so he hid the two guns very secretly, so even Sister Ling'er didn't know.
The main reason is that no one would have thought that Xiao Xiaoye would also have a secret.
Last night, he quietly slipped out of the city and found a deserted place where he spent a whole night gun-crazed!
Don't tell me how happy it is!
I originally wanted to take a nap today, but unexpectedly, I was forcefully pulled out by Sister Ling'er to go shopping with me. I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes. As soon as my buttocks sat down, I fell asleep immediately.
"This kid committed a thief last night?" Ye Baiqing remembered that this kid was always full of energy and had no use for his strength. Why is he still weak today?
"Are you sick?" Xiao Chen also felt that something was wrong with him and reached out to touch his forehead. It was cool and there was nothing wrong with it.
The thing is, this kid never gets sick.
But the sound of footsteps was heard outside, the door lock was opened, and Xu Wenzhou walked in with a few of his men smiling.
"Hey, when are you going to let us go? It's wrong for you to lock us up like this. This is considered illegal detention!" I learned this word from my brother Xiao Chen. In short, all the new words he uses now are I learned it from Xiao Chen.
Including the phrase 'what the hell'.
"We are subordinates of Mr. Liu Mofeng. Mr. Liu is not only the main hall of the punishment hall, but also the leader of the West Factory. He is also the chief of the army and horse department of our Changshan Prefecture. Therefore, 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 directly, so it is not illegal."
Xu Wenzhou patiently explained it to Duan Linger.
"You're talking nonsense!" Duan Ling'er felt unsure after saying this, and turned to look at Ye Baiqing, "Is he talking nonsense?"
"Special times, special management, Mr. Liu is right to do this. This has also been approved by Mr. Chen... and our Mr.... Governor Xiao also agreed." Ye Baiqing said with a smile.
"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 an interrogation... May I ask your surname, sir?" Xu Wenzhou ordered his men to take out paper and prepare records. It seems that he is going to ask Xiao Chen and the others are all registered.
"My name is Ye Baiqing." Ye Baiqing smiled.
"Ye Baiqing... why does he have the same name as our Mr. Ye?" Xu Wenzhou was surprised. It can't be such a coincidence, right?
"It just happened to have the same name." Ye Baiqing said.
