Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 46
A steam engine bigger than a house...isn't that still a toy that can only blow a deafening whistle?Alice tried hard to reorganize the fragments of the memory about the steam engine in her mind, and then decided to skip this topic first.

So she continued to ask Tiger: "Then, this Mr. Tang Mo, can he provide us with such a new type of rifle at a quantity of about 70 per month?"

"I can guarantee that his production speed may become faster and faster." Tiger thought for a few seconds and gave a statement that he thought should be considered accurate.

Because he knew that on the day he left, Tang Mo had already started building the third steam engine, and, based on the content of the private conversation between Matthews and him, he felt that Tang Mo might build the fourth or even the first steam engine. Five steam engines.

What he didn't know was that Tang Mo actually planned to build 7 steam engines at the same time, and one of them, Tang Mo planned to reduce the size and improve the technical accuracy, and use it to test some train technology.

Tang Mo also had arrangements for the remaining six steam engines.He plans to build two workshops directly at his new factory site to produce new weapons and equipment!

Yes!He is an arms dealer, not a gun manufacturer!He is not a gun factory that only produces rifles, but a super military body that produces all arms!
In this era, Tang Mo himself finds it unbelievable to only produce rifles but not cannons, so Tang's weapons workshop will challenge the production of bigger weapons—cannons!
This was something that Tiger, who had left Bunas, didn't know, so he still conservatively judged Tang Mo's expansion speed.

In Tiger's view, since Tang Mo has more steam engines, he will definitely be able to increase the production speed of the K1 fast gun.

In fact, his guess was completely correct. Tang Mo planned to increase the production speed of his K1 fast gun to the level of 500 guns a month!

These rifles are not completely supplied to Northridge, and may be exported to other regions.Tang Mo even armed some of his own people to counter Cyric's unreasonable annexation methods.

"Can it be faster?" Alice couldn't believe it, but she had no doubts that Tiger was a loyal man from Northridge, just like Pines and Cypresses.

"At least... twice the current production speed." Tiger thought about it and decided to brag for Tang Mo.He felt that this figure should be achievable if Tang Mo worked hard.

Alice didn't speak, she was shocked by the production speed.She had studied the small arms workshop in Bunas before, and she could probably judge the size of the workshop.

North Ridge supported this workshop with about 300 people. Even judging by this number, the total number of people in Tang's weapons workshop would not exceed [-].

Her guess was actually very accurate. Tang Mo had almost the same number of people in his hands, and those who were actually engaged in the production of weapons could not even gather 300 people.

Alice, who has visited the Cyric workshop, knows how big a workshop with 1000 people is.She still remembers the rows of black smoke from the chimneys of the smelting furnaces there.

The workers in those workshops sat densely at the long table, lowered their heads, and assembled the beak structure of the flintlock in the not-so-light workshop.

These weapons production workers were covered in greasy dirt, dirty and emaciated. There was no brilliance in their eyes. Like zombies, they were indifferent to Alice passing by them.

Even so, these large-scale and overcrowded weapon workshops can only produce a few hundred flintlock guns a year, and the output of a kingdom's flintlock guns is only about [-] flintlock guns.

And this young weapons dealer named Tang Mo can actually produce 120 better needle-fired guns every month with a scale of several hundred people...

This means that this weapon dealer named Tang Mo not only improved weapons, but also completely increased the production speed, innovated the production process, and mastered a production technology that surpassed the times!
Frankly speaking, Alice, who has been in charge of Northridge's economy, is not too concerned about the emergence of a new weapon, but she keenly grasps the details of productivity innovation.

She has even begun to think about whether this new production method can be copied to Northridge to improve Northridge's productivity.

In this era, the increase in productivity means that fewer people can produce more things, and the increased profits are a temptation that Alice cannot refuse.

However, before her thoughts diverged to this extent, she saw her father walking over with a smile on her face.

Tiger is the hero who brought back so many K1 quick guns, so Fishero naturally wanted to have a good chat with this hero.

"It seems that we can give more trust to this young man, Tang Mo, right?" Fishelo was in high spirits, and he was ready to be generous as soon as he came here, and send a sum of supplies to Tang Mo.

This time, Alice didn't object, but she once again brought up a proposal that Fishero vetoed: "Is it really impossible to bring this talent to Northridge? No matter what you give him, gold coins...power! !"

"I'm afraid it won't work, miss. He cares about his own property very much, and he probably won't become the Earl's subordinate." Tiger reminded cautiously.

"Catching him back is also a way." Alice looked at Tiger, and said seriously: "Tiger, if you lead the team yourself, 100 soldiers... are you sure to catch him?"

"I'm afraid I'm not sure, miss." Tiger shook his head, then looked at the Earl again, and said, "I'm back this time, and I have one more thing for you, Earl."

"You brought me a gift? Hahaha! Tiger! You have never been so careful." Fishero laughed loudly and patted Tiger on the shoulder.

Because most of the weapon on Tiger's waist was covered by the holster, Fischero didn't immediately see any difference between this weapon and the ordinary flintlock pistol.

"Frankly speaking, this gift was prepared by Tang Mo for the Earl." Tiger scratched his head in embarrassment, then looked at Alice again: "That's why, I said it's not easy to control Tang Mo s reason."

"He's good at giving gifts?" Alice raised an eyebrow and teased Tiger disdainfully.She was very surprised, and felt that there seemed to be no necessary connection between being good at giving gifts and being able to arrest him.

"Yes, he is very good at giving gifts! Bribing...buying...wooing..." Hearing Alice's words, Tiger, who had a deep understanding, immediately nodded subconsciously in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly shook his head again, and corrected himself: "No, I mean, although he is really good at giving gifts... But, he is also very good at other aspects! So good, I don't know I know how many cards he holds in his hand now."

He remembered the pistol on his waist that he had never seen before, and this thing still made him feel a little lingering.

"What do you mean?" Fischero asked Tiger very interestedly. He really wanted to know what cards that young man who was full of business could have that made Tiger fearful.

Although Fishero never had the idea of ​​arresting Tang Mo and bringing him back to work for him, he really didn't think that Tang Mo's small weapons workshop was a force that even 100 soldiers from North Ridge could not handle.

Tiger lifted off his long military uniform, revealing the dark brown leather belt around his waist, as well as a delicate-looking pistol on his waist.

"My lord, this is a gift from Tang Mo. In the hidden compartment of the carriage, there are the same five identical pistols."

"Pistol? Tang Mo made the K1 fast gun into the shape of a pistol?" Fishero asked with great interest.

"No, my lord! He made a more terrifying weapon!" Tiger said to the count: "We should go to a place where there is no one, and I will show you...the future!"

Earl Fischero smiled again, patted Tiger on the shoulder, and mocked his subordinates with disdain: "Ha! You come back from North Ridge, and you look more like that boy Tang Mo! You are full of words about the future, what Terrible weapon... are you trying to sell me another weapon for him?"

"My lord, please believe me... I never meant to exaggerate." Tiger blushed and explained to himself very embarrassed.

Alice was very interested in Tiger, who was so cautious for the first time, and took a step back to make way: "Let's go! Go to the backyard and see what kind of future our number one hero in North Ridge has brought us back. .”

"I found out that it might be a mistake for me to let Tiger go to Burnas." Fischero put his hands behind his back, gestured to Tiger, and then walked along the path with Alice to the back of the house.

Behind them, the soldiers called by Fischero were distributing the newly delivered K1 fast guns. These fast guns will be used as training weapons, and 20 of them will be distributed to each battalion!
With these weapons, the North Ridge troops will quickly master the use of this weapon. When there are more K1 fast guns, the North Ridge army will be able to form a more powerful combat force!
After avoiding everyone's sight, the three of them came to a small courtyard without people, and Tiger couldn't wait to pull out the revolver he had prepared a long time ago from his waist.

Fischero stood beside him, and found that there was no beak-like hammer on the side of the weapon, and there was a strange protrusion on the gun body.

Alice had never seen such a pistol before. She looked at the weapon in Tiger's hand curiously, looking forward to the performance of the weapon for a while.

Tiger straightened his arms, took a deep breath, and finally brewed the feeling of firing.The light of his eyes passed through the notch on the gun spine, aiming at the trunk of a big tree next to him.

Immediately afterwards, he held his breath and stabilized the hand holding the gun.
