Upfapu was suddenly a little confused.
In order to improve the military capabilities of the empire, he had been working hard for a long time and finally achieved small-scale production of magic rifles. However, the Phoenix Kingdom suddenly started selling them directly.
As soon as the sales started, a minister immediately asked at the meeting in front of the palace to stop his side's allocation and directly buy other people's ready-made mature products.
Upfapp has not yet reached the level of being able to tell whether the other party will get stuck, but he still feels it is wrong intuitively.
So the two sides started to quarrel in the palace.
The other party's reasons are very sufficient, such as "The Phoenix Kingdom's magic firearms have been tested in battle and are worthy of trust", and "Production and quality are more guaranteed, and can be used to increase the number of flights and accelerate the country's aircraft imitation" and so on.
There is only one thing to look for here: "Is the Phoenix Kingdom an enemy or a friend?"
The concept of friend and foe rises to the national level and is not as intuitive as personal hatred.
At that time, Fatel believed that the Phoenix Kingdom was a nail that destroyed Fatel's currency system. To remove it, if there was a direct military conflict between the two sides, it seemed that they should be enemies.
But the Phoenix King...the official document should call him the ruler of the Dark Land, seemed to be very confident, and did not take the empire's hostile behavior seriously. It even seems that intentionally or unintentionally, it is helping the empire build basic mechanized production capabilities... although the Sixth Generation does not admit this.
Therefore, at the level of the entire Fatal, the relationship between the two countries is very ambiguous. It can only be said that there is "historical conflict."
However, in the eyes of the ruler of the Sixth Generation, it was different.
As time went by, the Fatell Empire gradually depleted the gold mines that could be collected within the territory. However, relying on the monetary system that affected the entire penal colony and the import of gold coins from abroad, it could have been maintained for decades. This was the acceleration of the rise of the Phoenix Kingdom. The withdrawal of precious metal currencies.
After the issuance of the new currency, it has experienced several rounds of depreciation in just a few years due to various reasons such as floating islands, natural disasters, etc. According to the recent listing price of the Royal Bank of Fatel, it costs 192 new yuan to exchange for 1 gram of gold, and the initial issuance The price at that time was 10 Singapore dollars for 1 gram of gold.
On the one hand, the over-issuance is to cope with disasters, and on the other hand, it is also diluting the currency stock outside the royal family.
The huge currency depreciation has forced some fringe lords to be submissive in the floating island environment, and they are just a little short of being able to stand on their own.
Of course, it doesn't mean that those who are closer will be more tolerable, but the closer they are, the greater the threat from the Royal Legion will naturally be.
Fortunately, the difficult period is over, and some wealth has been collected in the national treasury. The Sixth World still wants to rely on the new currency to survive the entire Three Realms War, and cannot let the new currency really collapse. Later, its value will be adjusted back a little. If There is no unstoppable super-large natural disaster, and the currency value will be stable for a period of time.
If there was no Phoenix Kingdom, Fatel would probably still be using gold coins.
No matter "what if" this is the case, the Phoenix Kingdom will have to bear this debt for this sixth life anyway.
Therefore, in his opinion, the enemy of the Phoenix Kingdom is stronger, and it is a strange force that has never been seen before, and can use trade means to fight wars.
….
But now the threat of the demons is obvious, and Fatel itself is suffering from splitting into hundreds of sections. This hostility will probably be passed on to the seventh generation to end.
Upfapu grasped the key points between the enemy and ourselves, so even though the reasons of the ministers supporting the comprehensive purchase seemed to be more solid, the last six generations still did not reduce the funds for self-made magic firearms and decided to advance both sides at the same time.
He went home and waited patiently. A month later, Upfapu got the magic gun and instructions for export from the Phoenix Kingdom.
He doesn't care about the manual or the performance of the gun itself. He only cares about the materials used in the gun and how it is produced.
I called in a mage and an alchemist to analyze it, but they couldn't figure out anything. They only came to the conclusion that "the magic circuit is an unknown steel." In fact, it is not a magic circuit. The composition and processing technology of other steels in the gun cannot be explained clearly. .
Fortunately, there were no
I had a lot of expectations, so I wasn't disappointed. After all, before the Phoenix Kingdom, mages could not reproduce a certain magic item just by picking it up, let alone a completely different system.
I found two soldiers and tried using the new gun. After a few days of getting used to it, I compared it with those who used imitation guns.
The guns exported by the Phoenix Kingdom are unexpected and reasonable... just average.
The test distances are 50 meters, 100 meters, and 200 meters respectively. The competition is divided into three days. Targets at three distances are shot every day, with 100 rounds at each distance.
In the competition between four soldiers, at a distance of 50 meters, the purchased gun and the imitation gun were about the same. If we count the specific ring number, there is still a difference of more than 20 rings per 100 bullets. However, this may be because the new gun is not adapted to it. neglect.
In the three rounds of competition at a distance of 100 meters, the two are also equivalent.
At a distance of 200 meters, only two of the three rounds of the new gun surpassed fifty rings.
Just looking at the results of the competition, the gap between the two was very small. Uppfapp, who watched the whole process on the spot, found some differences.
When the new gun arrived, it was in a wooden box with parts protected by hay and oil paper, and needed to be reassembled.
Upfapu, who has participated in the entire process of imitating the magic gun, naturally knows that the reorganization of the firearm after the appearance has a great impact on the accuracy. But the result is obvious. The opponent's production capacity can make the guns put together temporarily have a high enough hit rate.
Whether it is true or not, you will know after another test.
Although Sixth Generation was annoyed when he saw Upfapu, he was still very clear about what he could do. In the first month, when there were only a hundred guns, he got him twenty guns and almost half of the bullets.
By the way, the sale of this firearm is really good. 200 rounds of ammunition are "given" with the gun. If you want more, you have to buy another one. About 500 rounds cost the price of a gun.
Back to testing.
The second set of tests was again between soldiers who had used new guns and those who had used imitation guns, but this time, they took parts from the box to assemble them on site and conducted a shooting test.
Perhaps due to the wind, the average number of hit rings of the two gunmen using imitation guns in this group of tests was reduced by 30 rings.
As expected, the hit rate of the two gunmen who used improvised new guns did not change much. The gap between the results of each group of tests and the previous group was between 20 and 50 rings.
A difference of 20 to 50 rings in 100 rounds of ammunition is not a difference. There may be such a big difference if the gun user is slightly inattentive.
After this group of tests, there is another round of testing.
Use imitation bullets produced by imitation gun factories at short notice to replace the free bullets for target shooting.
The result surprised Uppfap. For bullets with the same appearance and similar total weight, the average number of hit rings at 100 meters dropped by 1.2 rings. On the 200-meter target, the gap was even greater, close to 1.5 rings.
It may not be easy to understand the 1.2 and 1.5 rings directly. The human-shaped target is 100 meters and 200 meters, and the 1.5 ring is a deviation visible to the naked eye of the shooter. In the test of 100 rounds of shooting and no time limit for each shot, the shooter has enough If we take the opportunity to try to correct the ballistic deviation, but there is still such a big gap in the result, it is not a matter of more than ten percentage points, which means that the flight performance of the two bullets is completely different!
It seems that the gap is still large, and there is still a long way to go for imitations to catch up.
Foreign trade firearms are like this, what are the Phoenix Kingdom’s troops using now?
