Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 13 13 Craftsmen

"I've never seen such a part. It looks very complicated, and the requirements are too high." Matthews looked at the blueprint Tang Mo gave him, frowned, and said in a low voice: "If you want to It would take days to make a part like this by hand."

When he saw Tang Mo's drawings again, he even had deep doubts about his own technology: Could it be that he has been away from mainstream industrial production for too long, and has fallen behind to the point where he doesn't understand anything?

Looking at the doubtful dwarf Matthews, Tang Mo rubbed his sour eyes, and said wearily, "I need you to make this as soon as possible, because we will need this thing soon."

His eyes were sore from last night's drawing under the damned gas lamp.The lighting in this era is really bad, and Tang Mo's chair is not as comfortable as an engineering chair.

However, his efforts were not without results. On the contrary, it can be said that the results were quite fruitful—dozens of drawings have been drawn, and today they have been distributed to the workers below.

The most difficult one is for Matthews. He needs Matthews to use his superb skills to make this thing.

It's a pity that Matthews is obviously not one of those workers who have gotten used to Tang Mo's methods. He is more like a scholar who likes to figure out what he doesn't understand face to face.

Moreover, he is a very capable skilled worker with manufacturing experience that Tang Mo cannot have.His experience has even reached the point where he can make up for his own lack of knowledge, making Tang Mo feel a little scary.

Yesterday, Matthews understood the working principle of a small machine tool improved by Tang Mo at a glance, and guessed the working accuracy of this manual machine tool.

Then, he helped Tang Mo make two small parts, which improved the machining accuracy of this machine tool a bit.In Tang Mo's eyes, these are all abilities, and these are the abilities that a talent he urgently needs should possess!

Sure enough, after looking at the drawings in his hand again, Matthews gave his opinion: "I have no problem, but if you want to install a torsion bar here, the difficult part should add some thickness. "

"Are you afraid it will break?" Tang Mo was taken aback, and stared at Matthews curiously—this blueprint was copied from the blueprint in his mind, and there shouldn't be any flaws in the design.

But at this moment, Matthews nodded.Pointing to the parts on it, he said to Tang Mo, "The existing materials are not up to standard, sir. Your design is very creative, but our iron raw materials may not meet the design standards."

"Can you see the specific purpose of this thing I designed?" This time it was Tang Mo's turn to be surprised, because he hadn't told Matthews what this part was for.

"It's just a linkage device, sir, I'm not a fool! It's just that I'm confused, what do you use to drive such a...heavy part." Matthews didn't care, and asked casually.

"I like you! Matthews! I like you! Hahaha!" Hearing Matthews' question, Tang Mo was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, and patted Matthews on the shoulder, as if patting I am as happy as looking at an Asmer lithography machine.

Matthews looked at Tang Mo's hand patting his shoulder very depressed, and reminded with some dissatisfaction, "You still didn't show me your needle gun, sir."

One of the reasons why he left North Ridge and came here was to see the new type of rifle that the Earl was talking about.

But up until now, he hadn't really seen that kind of rifle - Tang Mo had only produced ten K1 fast guns in total, and three of them were brought to Northridge and stayed there.

The remaining seven K1 quick guns were handed over to the departing convoy, and the troops of the departing Lord Earl brought them back to North Ridge.

So, there are only ten K1 fast guns in the world now, and they are all in North Ridge, so Tang Mo really doesn't have any extra rifles to satisfy the curiosity of the dwarf craftsman in front of him.

Tang Mo smiled awkwardly, withdrew his hand, and finally said to Matthews, "Come on! Since I can't show you the actual new rifle, I have to show you the blueprint, right?"

"Okay, but I'd rather see the real thing... I've seen too many blueprints in my life..." Matthews rolled up the blueprint in his hand into a cylinder, held it in his palm, and followed Behind Tang Mo, came the place where Tang Mo worked.

The drawing tools were still messy on the table last night, and some drawn drawings were scattered and stacked under these tools. Tang Mo had been working last night and had just gone out to distribute the drawings, so he didn't have time to tidy up his desktop.

Dwarf Matthews glanced at the drawings on the table, but didn't express any opinion - frankly speaking, he had never seen a complicated steam engine structure, so he couldn't guess what Tang Mo was going to do for a while. s things.

Tang Mo twisted his neck twice, then walked behind the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a few drawings from it.

He spread out the drawings and spread them on the table, motioning for Matthews to come and see for himself.Matthews was also polite, walked to the table, and looked at Tang Mo's drawings.

"Exquisite design...not complicated, I even think this thing is very mature." Matthews was quickly attracted by the drawings, staring at the lines on the drawings, imagining how beautiful the real K1 fast gun is .

"Actually, the design of these things is not difficult. The difficulty lies in this." Matthews quickly saw the way, pointed to the real core technology of this needle-fired gun, and said to Tang Mo.

He pointed at the place where the needle pierced the cap: "This little thing can ignite gunpowder, which is the basis for the design of the new rifle! You actually made such a small ignition device! Incredible!"

As the so-called layman watches the excitement and the insider watches the way, Matthews can tell at a glance that Tang Mo's entire gun design revolves around the new ignition device of Leimercury.

In fact, this is exactly the case. It is precisely because of this reliable ignition and ignition device that the subsequent series of individual guns and weapons can get rid of the shackles of the flintlock and develop into a truly modern appearance!
Of course, the current flash hider, or the main body of the flash cap, Thunder Mercury, is not the ultimate solution. There will be more alternatives in the future. These alternatives are safer, more reliable, more efficient and more powerful.

"I visited your workshop, and you actually have almost nothing except this new design." Matthews looked at the blueprint and said to Tang Mo without looking up: "I even suspected that you had deceived the Earl. "

"Unfortunately, I did not deceive the Earl." Tang Mo knew that Matthews was right. If he hadn't really been able to create a K1 fast gun, it would have been a complete deception.

Of course, the main reason the Earl was fooled was also because he really took out a weapon like the K1 fast gun-no one is a fool, how could he be easily fooled.

Matthews nodded and agreed with Tang Mo's statement, but what he continued to say made Tang Mo blush a little: "I know, I saw that your people are producing this new type of bullet, but the speed of production is actually Not much."

"Compared to Cyric's musket workshop, you have no advantage here... Tell me, do you really think you have even a ten-thousandth chance of winning?" Matthews raised his head and stared at Tang Mo, Asked word by word.

"If you can help me make these parts, I think I have a big chance of winning." Tang Mo put his hands on the blueprint and said to Marcus, "Believe me, it's not one in ten thousand, but one hundred percent! "

Matthews stared into Tang Mo's eyes without backing down: "If you want to convince me, then you have to show some real skills."

In the end, Tang Mo decided to show Matthews his secret weapon, after all, Weiss had already seen it.

He has decided to get himself a better pistol as soon as possible to defend himself, but to design a new revolver, he also needs the help of Matthews in front of him.

So, with a sigh, he took the holstered revolver out of the drawer: "Okay! Come with me! I want you to stay, Matthews. I need people like you ,Very necessary."

"If you really show me something that can surprise me, I'll stay up late tonight to help you make the parts!" Matthews followed Tang Mo to the small shooting range.

Tang Mo stood at the position where he often shot, pulled out the revolver from the holster, and then poured out small caps from a small pocket outside the holster.

He put the caps on the corresponding positions one by one, and put the revolver into a ready-to-fire state.

Matthews knew that this was the special ignition device that Tang Mo made. If this thing was true, then everything Tang Mo said might be true.

So he watched quietly, watching Tang Mo put the flash caps in his hand on the end of the cylinder one by one, and then waited for Tang Mo to pick up the pistol and aim at the distant target.

"Boom!" Tang Mo pulled the trigger, a puff of white smoke spewed out from the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet hit a target about 15 paces away.

Tang Mo did not put down the pistol, but maintained the shooting position, and pulled the trigger again. The cylinder rotated with his pulling the trigger, and the hammer swung backward at the same time. He suddenly lost restraint in his position, and slammed forward suddenly.

"Boom!" Another gunshot echoed over the shooting range. Matthews' eyes widened, and he unknowingly used his strong hands to pinch the blueprint that was rolled into a cylinder. folds.

"Bah!" "Bah!" "Bah!" Tang Mo didn't put down his pistol, but continued to fire. The gunfire continued, as if hitting the gate of history.
