panzhihua
Black technology factory
After some hard work by Wang Meng, his favorite thing was about to be made.
This is a world without magic or fairy tales, but it is an enhanced version of the most powerful single-soldier mid-range weapon.
Special weight enhanced version of the repeating grenade gun
As for how heavy it is
Since steel still cannot meet the industrial standards of the 20th century, it can only be thick and heavy to meet the safety requirements of firing.
As for being twice as heavy as twice as much, in this special era of being able to lift a cauldron, these are not a big deal.
According to original expectations, this kind of thing would have to be assembled for front-line troops. The only instability was the gunpowder. Since there was no complete mechanical automation, the required gunpowder and the required compounds had to be made by myself. I had to educate these apprentices little by little. , honed little by little.
In order to keep the formula secret, the workshops here have experimented with segmented production. Each workshop is responsible for one of the steps. The one who is mastering the formula is himself and the person sitting on the throne.
As for my current situation, in order to realize my grand plan, let my current family live a happy life, and let the nation stand on top of the world without any regrets.
As for the imperial system, since he saw the twisted monster on the plateau, he knew that the world was becoming more and more complex and dangerous, and he understood in his heart: Only the one currently sitting on the throne can lead them to survive.
He took the gun and went out to try it. After some evaluation, it was confirmed that it had reached about 90% of the standard lethality. Then he disassembled the gun into its parts and called the Jinyiwei guards who were guarding here.
The Jinyi Guards here have a team of people who are responsible for the transportation of special samples and intelligence. This grenade gun is still very lethal for this era. It is much lighter than the small steel cannon, and it will be a lot of trouble if it is lost.
For this reason, he disassembled them into parts, and then packed them into boxes of various sizes. He summoned the Jin Yiwei's inner guards and gave them orders.
"Give these things to Your Majesty. Divide them into five groups and take some of them with you. Your Majesty will know how to use them."
Wang Meng had no intention of letting them transport bullets or anything like that. It was true that it was a bit troublesome to make such things. The Datang Palace itself had well-trained craftsmen and materials.
As for why he didn't see this thing being made in the palace, the main reason was that Li Mingda felt that he wouldn't be able to use it if he didn't go out. In addition, there was no enemy in the Tang Dynasty that he could fight with all his strength.
Guang Datang's current industrial crossbows coupled with small steel cannons and heavy plate armor can make the opponent lie on the ground and call Tang Daddy. It is too early to install grenade guns.
Another point
At present, mysterious forces are constantly emerging, and the exposed forces are becoming more and more powerful. A grenade gun that only deals physical damage may not cause much damage. At critical moments, it is necessary to carve some inscriptions or something on it.
After the so-called true god's second bombardment incident in Asanna, Li Mingda called on the three Zhang Jiao brothers to speed up the development of small steel cannons and shells with seal inscriptions and divine patterns.
If the other party really can't figure it out, you have to start with the system. With the blessing of the endless faith of millions of Tang people, it was not difficult to pick up a few cannonballs and some mysterious knowledge.
The reason why Li Mingda didn't do this was because he refused to give in to Zhang Jue and they eventually became a complete appropriation system. Once the technology tree is crooked, it will become a big problem.
Are there forces within Datang that oppose Li Mingda?
The answer is of course yes
After continuous suppression, those forces have been caught and beaten to pieces, but there are always some rotten sweet potatoes and shrimps who have slipped through the net, as well as the predators lurking in the darkest corners to lick their wounds.
These people know that it is difficult to prove that they can restore their previous status through the power of the Tang Dynasty government, which is becoming more and more solid. They can only choose to take the wrong approach.
for example
Get a small steel cannon
Transport it to Chang'an City, and send Li Mingda, who often hangs out, back to Taixu with a cannonball.
But
Not to mention the difficulty of getting a small steel cannon, even if they did get it, it would weigh several thousand kilograms and transportation would be a hassle. The same was true for the cannonballs. They had no chance to come into contact with this thing, let alone build it.
Can only rely on robbing and stealing
There is a palace in the Tang Dynasty
In order to prevent those space-time cracks and other things, Li Mingda also arranged some. The guards are all the Holy Army of the Tang Dynasty. Without loyal faith, you cannot enter.
Why would you still mess with you if you have loyal beliefs? The people they sent in were either eliminated or instigated to rebel. They did nothing wrong and suffered heavy losses.
The little hidden traces that were finally laid out were completely cleared up. In order to prevent them from being traced to the end, two leaders, both large and small, were called out.
Panzhihua Black Technology Workshop, the main production area of Datang's new weapons, due to its special geographical location and the increasingly difficult to penetrate the army, they could only observe from a distance in their ordinary capacities as traveling merchants, fishermen and hunters.
This transportation, so-called divided into five routes, is actually not all divided routes. The fastest route from here to Chang'an City is naturally the pipeline that has been fully repaired.
The five teams of Jinyiwei's internal guards, each with at least a hundred people, came out from Panzhihua and went directly to Xiangyang, and then walked directly north along Xiangyang. The difference between the front and rear legs was about an hour.
This road is the one that Li Mingda focused on repairing. In addition, it will be used for future battles and the current steel factory. It can be said to be extremely prosperous.
Every nearby county has military patrols along the way. From time to time, there are patrol cavalry from Xiangyang and Luoyang garrisons. Traders from within the Tang Dynasty are also on this road, as well as Jinyiwei, Neiwei, and Baiqisi who have many spies stationed there. Plus the vision eyeliners of major families.
The appearance of the first team of 100 Jin Yiwei made the vendors and spies on the road look askance, wondering what kind of useful things were being sent to Chang'an City.
Less than an hour later, the second, third, and fifth teams appeared, which left some people confused.
What is this for?
Five teams of Jin Yiwei ran towards Chang'an City. There were no war warnings along the way, and there were no emergency flags displaying military battle reports.
litchi?
Obviously not
This thing is currently in the caravan. It uses the saltpeter-making ice technology officially announced by the Tang Dynasty to keep it fresh and transport it to Chang'an City.
You said that the announcement of saltpeter ice production reduced income, but this is not the case. The technology was announced, but the Tang government was the only seller of the saltpeter mine.
There is profit from selling ores, and taxes are collected from selling fruits, so you can make some money on both sides.
five teams
Instantly caused a heated discussion
Those people lurking in the dark immediately became aware of it.
Could it be that there is something special made from Panzhihua?
If they can get it...
