Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 41 41 New Secret Weapon
"I can take all these with me?" Tiger asked Tang Mo, pointing to these sealed wooden boxes, a little unable to believe his eyes.

These wooden boxes were nailed together by cut wooden boards, and the structure inside was also very simple—it was just some horizontal wooden boards with grooves, and the guns were stuck in these grooves, and they were neatly stacked in a row.

On the top row and the bottom row, there are 10 brand new K1 fast guns in a wooden box, with the aroma of oil.

The matching leather ammunition pouches, along with the arming belts, were stuffed into the wooden case as padding.

This new type of armed belt is very elegant, with a bayonet hanging position, and two ammunition bags are fixed on the left and right sides-each side is two independent ammunition bags.

The four ammunition bags can hold 40 rounds of paper-case fixed ammunition. The hard inner lining makes these ammunition bags not easily deformed even if they are hit, and can protect the bullets inside intact in complex battlefield environments.

Now, these ammunition bags are full of bullets, and they were all rushed out by Tang Mo mobilizing all the workers.

The ammunition factory that Tang Mo is manufacturing is not yet highly automated, and the bullets can be mass-produced faster only when the third steam engine is put into production.

This is also something that can't be helped, because he is really short of raw materials and energy that can support his full expansion of production.

There is indeed coal in Bunas, and there is no shortage in Northridge... But to get enough coal, not to mention the mining time, you also need to have enough purchase costs.

Still the same sentence, there is no way, the gold coins in Tang Mo's hand are needed to buy land, steel, gunpowder, all kinds of messy raw materials, and hire workers... It's not enough at all!

Nowadays, even if Tang Mo is given 1000 million gold coins, it is no exaggeration to say that he can spend them within a few days.

The reason why Tang Mo was able to maintain the status quo, on the one hand, was that the Earl had supplied many raw materials to Tang Mo’s weapon workshop in a timely manner, and on the other hand, Tang Mo was using the name of the Earl, and “bluffed” everywhere to reduce his expenses. .

"Yes, I prepared 50 quick guns for the Earl. How about it? Do you think it's worth the money?" Tang Mo smiled and patted Tiger on the shoulder, fulfilling his previous promise to Tiger.

In less than 20 days, 50 fast guns were produced. In fact, Tang Mo had created a miracle, a miracle enough to shock the world.

You must know that this production speed actually needs to be reduced by a large amount - Tang Mo has not been focusing on any weapon production for most of the past twenty days.

Tiger saw it with his own eyes: After Tang Mo returned to Bunas, the first thing he started to make was the thing called the steam engine.

Afterwards, Tang Mo's main energy was spent on buying land, building workshops, building wooden houses, and starting a school, etc. A lot of junk.

It can be said responsibly that Tang Mo actually didn't focus on the production of the K1 fast gun at all. It was only after the second steam engine started working that Parker supervised it and started to use the steam engine to drill the barrel of the gun.

But just like that, Tang Mo was able to assemble and produce 50 new fast guns in one go within ten days. This is something that Cyric's weapon workshop can't do even if he tries his best!
"Yes... a little bit." Tiger looked at the four big boxes that had been sealed in front of him, and the fifth box that contained only one gun, and nodded subconsciously.

"Stop making trouble, just a little? With this production speed, Cyric's four gun workshops in the Kingdom may not be able to catch up with me!" Tang Mo said confidently.

Matthews smiled and added: "Even if they can catch up now, they won't be able to catch up in half a month."

"If there are no accidents... Tomorrow morning, we can still produce 10 such K1 fast guns." Parker confidently said something even more shocking to Tang Mo, Matthews, and Tiger beside him. Message: "Trust me, it really does!"

The production progress actually exceeded Tang Mo's estimate. He originally planned to transport 50 K1 fast guns to the earl in one go, but if the workers are very enthusiastic about production, by the time Tiger leaves with this batch of munitions, it is estimated that the whole The workshop can produce almost 65 quick guns.

For the entire era, this kind of sky-defying production speed is subversive-those workshops that can produce 30 flintlock guns per month are all on the scale of thousands of people!

But Tang Mo's current workshop is full of money. Including the workers who are building the house, there are only 600 people in total.

Not all of the five 600 people are producing rifles, there are also school children, soldiers leveling the land, and other messy craftsmen.

In short, if Tang Mo starts to produce the K1 fast gun with all his strength, and if the raw materials are abundant, he may reach the production speed of overwhelming all the Cyric workshops in the kingdom within two to three months.

"Have you made the list yet?" Tiger looked at Tang Mo and asked eagerly.Now he is ready to return home, and he is already thinking about the scene of escorting 60 K1 fast guns back to Wolf City.

A new army is about to be born, and the combat effectiveness of Wolf City will be doubled.Those idiots who are going to show off their power in Northridge will definitely pee their pants because of the power of the K1 fast gun.

"Of course!" Tang Mo nodded.

"I will come back with everything on the list as quickly as possible!" Tiger solemnly promised.

"I believe you can do what you say!" Tang Mo patted Tiger's shoulder with a smile, and then glanced at Matthews: "I'll leave this to you, I'm going to visit the lab."

"No problem, master." Matthews nodded, then he also looked at the somewhat confused Tiger, and said, "Mr. Tiger, when you return to Northridge, please tell the Earl for me, old man I have decided to follow Lord Tang Mo and become his servant."

Tiger was stunned, and then nodded understandingly: "For a craftsman, this is indeed a good place. I understand your choice, and I will pass your decision on to the Earl."

"Thank you!" Matthews smiled, then lowered his head to operate the machine again, polishing a part that Tiger couldn't understand at all.

"My lord!" On the road, a construction worker who saw Tang Mo passing by took off his hat, bowed slightly, and greeted him with a smile.

Tang Mo also nodded with a smile, and quickly walked towards his so-called laboratory.Some bottles and jars can be seen everywhere in this laboratory, and a strong smell of chemicals can be smelled when the door is opened.

After closing the door and walking to the table, Tang Mo opened the drawer, took out a box from it, and took out a revolver that had been assembled.

This is the real revolver of this era, which literally throws the entire cylinder to the left, then reloads quickly and fires continuously.

Tang Mo then grabbed a handful of yellow metal products from the drawer, and casually sprinkled them on the table.

The clanging sound of metal colliding together is very nice.These were all pressed one by one by Tang Mo using a manual press in front of him to suppress bullets.

To be honest, these metal fixed-load bullets that appeared in this world for the first time are still a bit different from the new bullets produced by fully automatic bullet production equipment.

In fact, they are still very rough, the warheads of the bullets are still the first generation of miniature bullets, and they are stuffed with wood!
However, even so, they are still the most advanced bullets in the world, because they are filled with smokeless gunpowder made by Tang Mo himself, and there is no way to mass-produce it yet!
This is a Colt 1907 pistol, but the caliber uses Tang Mo's own 9mm caliber custom-loaded rim round.

In order to facilitate production, Tang Mo's bullets adopted a relatively primitive scheme in which the bottom edge was slightly larger than the diameter of the projectile body. This scheme also facilitated the rapid ejection of the pistol's ejection mechanism.

Of course, this design was completely eliminated later, but Tang Mo was forced to come up with such a nondescript retro design due to production technology.

Even so, the bullets that Tang Mo pressed out one by one were still advanced, so advanced that they were so expensive that Tang Mo was not willing to use them to practice marksmanship.

Caliber Tang Mo didn't intend to use the idiotic measure of inches anymore, so he directly took out the concept of millimeters.He is now the norm-setter of the entire industry, and naturally he has no scruples.

As for why I chose a revolver with a complex structure like the Colt 1907, instead of a "handle" revolver with a more stable structure and easier production... The reason is actually quite simple, because it is handsome.

Since Tang Mo was making a pistol for himself, and it wasn't too difficult technically, it was natural to choose whichever looked more handsome.Anyway, what he wants to think about is not expanding the scale of production, nor is it something like manufacturing costs.

So, such a strange and eccentric Colt 1907 pistol was born.

Tang Mo pushed the mechanism on the gun body with his thumb, and flicked it lightly, and the bullet nest of the pistol flipped out of the gun body from the left side.The whole process is extremely smooth, and there is not even a sense of lag.No way, in this era, there is no comfortable damping feeling, so the feeling of looseness and cheapness is very strong.

But Tang Mo didn't care about this at all, he picked up a bullet from the table, and easily stuffed it into the magazine, one after another, very smoothly.

After he filled the cylinder with six bullets, his hand brushed the cylinder habitually, and the oiled cylinder began to spin rapidly.

Matthews' craftsmanship is really strong, relying on simple machinery, he can manufacture parts with such high precision.

Tang Mo admired in his heart, and with a strong flick of his right wrist holding the pistol, the bullet nest snapped back onto the gun body, making a crisp sound.
