Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 40 40 You are absolutely right

"What's the matter?" The mayor looked at the other party and asked impatiently.He hates being interrupted, especially when he's thinking about money.

"A military officer wants to see you..." The waiter knew his master's habits and immediately explained.

"Officer?" The mayor and the sheriff were very surprised.

"Last time, the one who came with Tang Mo last time, the officer from Beiling..." The waiter quickly added an explanation.

"Oh... please come in!" The mayor suddenly realized and ordered immediately.He looked at the magistrate and the tax officer, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be more obvious - it seems that the other party is a good person.

Soon, his speculation was confirmed.Tiger really came to give them benefits.Tang Mo kept his promise very much, and the follow-up benefits he promised to them were really delivered to them.

Tiger arrogantly handed over the bribes to the three main officials in the town. This attitude also made the mayor, the sheriff, and the tax collector more convinced of their judgment——Tang Mo is probably Earl Fisherow's. People, and an important confidant.

Therefore, after the mayor and the others got the second bribe from Tiger, the school affairs were put on hold by the three of them.

Anyway, this kind of thing is that the people don't raise officials and don't investigate, and no one comes to report, so they naturally won't meddle in other people's business - even if someone comes to report, they will look at the gold coin's face and help Tang Mo solved the idiot who reported...

……

In the workshop, Tang Mo was assembling the first batch of K1 quick guns with Matthews and others.Now, this thing is still the flagship product in Tang Mo's weapon workshop, and it is the source of income for the entire workshop.

After resting for seven or eight days, the metal smelting furnace finally started to emit black smoke again. The raw materials brought from North Ridge made the whole workshop full of vitality.

In fact, Tang Mo did not deceive Tiger, he really planned to produce a batch of munitions and send them to the Earl.

He is a weapon merchant, and his ultimate goal is to provide enough weapons to the earl, and to make a name for himself in future wars.

If the earl is not provided with weapons and a lot of training time is reserved, the effectiveness of these weapons on the battlefield will be reduced, and Tang Mo will suffer a great loss.

Therefore, this time, Tang Mo planned to provide as many K1 quick guns as possible and transport these weapons to Northridge.

And Tiger, who returned with this batch of weapons, will personally bring Tang Mo's needs. As long as the Earl is willing to continue to provide support, then North Ridge will continue to get more arms.

Tang Mo was full of confidence in the Lord Earl's next support, because he knew very well that as long as Tiger brought that revolver back to Northridge, the Earl would definitely see the great significance in it.

This is not a joke, if he is really ambitious, with Tang Mo's weapon, he can even break out of North Ridge, aspire to the kingdom, and sit under the king's ass!

In fact, Tang Mo's plan is probably like this - he will provide the Earl with enough weapons and weapons, and the Earl will seek a higher political status.

Then he, Tang Mo, will be able to get his share of benefits - becoming the new earl, controlling a large area of ​​land, and becoming the "Cyric" of the Wright Kingdom!Everyone takes what they need, helps each other, and grows together... Doesn't it sound very attractive?
As for whether Earl Fischero would kill the donkey, Tang Mo was actually prepared.Before the earl has really aspired to that position, he will form his own army, equip it with more powerful weapons, and prepare for battle!

If Fishero was a good king, Tang Mo wouldn't mind following Cyric's path, willing to stay behind the scenes and become a new arms consortium, controlling the order of the world as a shadow.

If Fishelo is a greedy bastard, then Tang Mo doesn't mind using his spear and cannon to teach the other party a good lesson, letting the other party know what the times have changed.

However, all these assumptions are still at the stage of imagination... What Tang Mo needs to do now is to control the quality and complete the current production.

So, at this moment, he was lying in front of an assembly table, watching a worker nervously put together parts one by one.

Carefully, he reminded the worker in a gentle voice: "Okay, follow the requirements of the production process! Hang this part in the corresponding position! Pay attention to their positional relationship!"

The worker was also a little nervous, because this was his first time assembling such a weapon—he was more familiar with the structure of the flintlock gun, but the parts in front of him had nothing to do with the flintlock gun at all.

This thing has a relatively complicated gun mechanism structure. In order to be able to pierce the primer inside the cardboard fixed-loading ammunition, a long firing pin protrudes from the front end of the gun mechanism.

To be honest, this is actually a design that compromises technology, because there is no real bottom edge bullet, so we can only make such a long firing pin, and this long firing pin is actually very important in a complex battlefield environment. easily damaged.

Soldiers also have to be careful when loading cardboard fixed-load ammunition, so the rate of fire increase is not obvious.

However, for the flintlock, it is already the prototype of the modern rifle-this kind of progress is epoch-making, and it is an advancement that the flintlock cannot catch up with at all.

In fact, when the firearm is disassembled, the internal structure is not too complicated.The needle-fire gun that Tang Mo took out was not much more difficult to manufacture than the flintlock gun.As long as there is a workshop that can produce flintlock guns, it can be easily imitated.

As long as the spring and a few parts with specific structures are assembled into a bolt-driven bolt, the rest of the structure is actually very simple.

So, under Tang Mo's guidance, the worker quickly assembled those parts to complete a bolt.

According to Tang Mo's instructions, the worker did not carry out the next step of installation, but handed the trigger he made to another worker beside him.

This is an assembly line production method, and each worker is only responsible for one step in the production of guns.There are actually many benefits to such an arrangement, and it is also a technological innovation unique to Tang Mo.

Under such a technical arrangement, each worker will specialize in one production step, so that it is less prone to errors and better improves production efficiency.

Another reason why Tang Mo is optimistic about this production method is the secrecy system - each worker can only know a part of the production of new guns, and these workers go out alone, but in fact they don't know the complete process of the entire rifle.

Although it couldn't be completely kept secret, it could effectively delay the opponent's time and buy Tang Mo himself a chance to buffer.

"Very good! Next, screw on the screws and fix them... In this way, the internal structure of the K1 fast gun is completed! It's very simple, right?" Finally, after a not-so-long wait, under Tang Mo's gaze , the worker completes the entire process.

A complete bolt is manufactured and then passed on to the next worker who installs the bolt and assembles the entire second half of the rifle.

With the addition of the front half of the barrel, the entire rifle is assembled and becomes a real K1 fast gun.

"Yes, I think these workers should have mastered it all." Parker nodded and assured Tang Mo: "Leave the rest to me, and I will watch them and let them be familiar with the whole process. "

"Very good! Let's start!" Tang Mo nodded, then stood aside, watching these workers, following the steps he prescribed, installing the polished parts together one by one.

This is his weapon workshop, the first time to produce such a large-scale K1 fast gun.The previous samples were actually completely handmade, and the production cycle was so long that it made people want to cry.

It's different now, because while these workers are assembling the parts in front of them, in another workshop, two steam engines are still working non-stop.

Thirty or so apprentices were operating the machinery, drilling out gun barrels one by one—by this evening, at least 50 high-quality, almost exact gun barrels could be produced in the entire workshop!

The quality of these gun barrels is uniform, much more reliable than the gun barrels that workers rely on hydraulic windmills or purely hand-drilled.

"Crack!" Tang Mo pulled the bolt of a K1 fast gun that had already been manufactured, exposing the smooth barrel of the rifle, and nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is far inferior to the advanced arms sold by Tang Mo before crossing, the weapon in front of him is already quite advanced for this era.

"It's really beautiful!" Looking at the weapon in his hand, Tang Mo smiled and said to Parker and Matthews beside him.

"Indeed, after mechanical processing, this thing is more like a work of art than Cyric's flintlock gun." Matthews agreed.

Later, he continued to sigh with emotion: "Compared with such achievements, it should be said that the whole process is greater."

As he said that, he, Parker, and Tang Mo all looked at the other side, the K1 fast guns that were packed into wooden boxes one by one, except for the production number, were almost exactly the same.

"I'm back! Everything is done. They won't trouble you anymore, and they are willing to sell you some more land... Besides..." Tiger walked into the factory building while talking, seeing those After the K1 fast gun neatly stacked in the wooden box, the mouth is not very easy to use.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and watched intently as the workers put away the guns that had just been produced and had been rubbed with anti-rust oil one by one.

Then, he looked at several large boxes that had been sealed not far away, and remained silent for a while.

"Yes, you are absolutely right. Inside those boxes are the K1 quick guns you want to take away." Tang Mo nodded.

Immediately afterwards, everyone couldn't help laughing.
