Father Mavie

Chapter 238 Mass Production (Please Subscribe!!!)
As the drawer of the drawings, Edward has an absolute 'imagination' for the Rifle Rifle he developed.

It disassembled two Dreiser bolt-action rifles, and turned the above parts into what they needed one by one. The Siren's Tears once again demonstrated its powerful power. This is a gem that can realize fantasy. Once it comes out , It is bound to be snapped up by scientists.

Trigger, sleeper, barrel, piston.
Edward assembled the conjured parts one by one with great skill. After all, this is the firearm it designed. I am afraid that no one in the world knows the structure and assembly sequence of 'Edward One' better than him.

With a click, Edward pressed the trigger. After repeated inspections, he nodded in satisfaction, pulled the bolt, and loaded 5 breech-loading lead bullets into the chamber.

"Okay, let's find a place to test the gun."

Holding the Edward No. [-] rifle, the three of Ma Wei came to the dark room under the church. Like the church in New Ross City, there is also a dark room under the Znamensky Cathedral, and there are many abandoned wooden barrels piled up inside. , do not know what to use.

The thick land can effectively block the transmission of sound, and the gunshots will not spread out. The only fly in the ointment is the problem of light. It is too dark here, and two kerosene lamps are not enough to illuminate the spacious basement.

In order to ensure the accuracy, Ma Wei asked Levin to put the kerosene lamp on the wooden barrel in the corner, stick a target paper on the wall above, and shoot at a distance of more than ten meters, as long as the bullet can hit the bull's-eye within the third ring, It means that the accuracy is not a big problem.

Since the rifling and firing pin in the barrel are all original parts removed from the Dreiser bolt-action rifle, the accuracy will not vary too much. Edward is also full of confidence in the firearms he made, so Levine backed up. After a few steps, he raised the slender rifle with one hand, aimed at the target paper, and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The sudden bright fire dispelled the darkness, illuminating the faces of Mavi, Levin, and Edward. Among the splashing sparks, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and the bullet easily hit the target paper, leaving a scorched black mark on the wall.
Ma Wei didn't hear the continuous gunshots.

He looked at Edward, who was frowning and tapping the rifle in his hand.

"what happened?"

"It's stuck." Edward said, "It's not a design problem, but a lack of air pressure."

"Insufficient air pressure?"

"Well." Edward manually pulled the bolt, ejected a shell, and explained: "The principle of automatic ejection and loading is to use air pressure to push the piston to perform a series of operations on the bolt, but since the bullet is filled with black powder , the barrel is too long, resulting in the reduction of the air pressure when the gunpowder burns, and the piston cannot be fully pushed.”

"So you can't shoot continuously?" Levin came over and asked.

"Yes, but the shooter must be in a relaxed state, and the trigger cannot be pressed tightly, otherwise the air pressure will not be able to push the piston, and the piston and the trigger are connected together." Edward raised the rifle again, aiming at the target paper, this time.
Gunshots continued.

boom! boom! boom!
Edward didn't stop until the bullets in the gun were fired, and said: "When the gunpowder burns, it will push the bullets to form air pressure, push the piston and the bolt structure at the muzzle, force the trigger to reset, and prepare for the second shot. But the power of black powder is not enough, and the long barrel weakens the power of air pressure."

Ma Wei understands, it is not difficult to understand, the trigger is used to control the firing pin, which is included in the structure of the gun mechanism, as long as the trigger is pulled, the firing pin will detonate the gunpowder in the bullet, thus firing the bullet, this is also a firearm The principle of shooting.

In order to complete the continuous shooting, Edward uses the piston spring rod, and wants the air pressure to push the trigger and reset the firing pin. It has to do this because the Dreiser bolt action rifle is a needle-style rifle. The firing pin is very long and needs to be inserted deep into the bullet to If the gunpowder is detonated, if the firing pin is not reset, the long needle will get stuck in the previous shell case.

"As long as the shooter remains relaxed and releases his hand naturally after pulling the trigger once, the trigger can be reset smoothly, and the second shot can be started after it is completely reset."

Edward shook his head and sighed: "My design is still not perfect, there are too many flaws."

Many problems can only be discovered in practice, and imagination alone is not enough.

but
For Ma Wei, this bolt structure is enough.

The flaws of the Edward I stem from the power of gunpowder and the needle-fired firing pin of the Dreiser bolt-action rifle, which is a legacy of the previous generation and has nothing to do with Edward.

As long as the bullet and firing pin can be modified, these defects can be solved.

"I don't think it's necessary to put it into mass production, it's a waste product."

Edward casually threw the rifle and Siren's Tears to Ma Wei, lost interest, turned and walked upstairs: "You can figure it out yourself."

"Boss."

Looking at the back of Edward leaving, Levin wondered: "Is this gun bad?"

"not bad."

"What about Edward?"

Ma Wei weighed the heavy rifle in his hand, and said, "It's not bad in our eyes, but not necessarily in Edward's eyes."

Early the next morning, Mavi took the 'Edward One' and rushed to the camp outside the city with Levin, and handed the rifle along with the blueprint to Katerina.

After the test, Katerina became very interested in the 'Edward One', and immediately expressed that she would mass-produce this rifle that could fire repeatedly, even if it had flaws, she didn't care.

The soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor are equipped with the most advanced Dreiser rifles and Armstrong breech-loading guns, and their firepower completely crushes the Romanov Kingdom. The appearance of 'Edward I' will undoubtedly change this situation.

Katerina firmly believes that as long as the Romanov Kingdom's army is equipped with 'Edward One' on a large scale, it will be able to completely defeat the Windsor Kingdom's army before the beginning of spring and drive them out of this land!

In order to quickly start the production of 'Edward I', Katerina immediately took the blueprints and went to the Ishim Arsenal in the east of Tyumen City with Mavi and Levine. pounds of gold.

The person in charge of the Ishim Arsenal heard that Katerina Romanov was coming, and quickly put down his work, and walked quickly to the door to greet him. When he saw the blueprint in Katerina's hand, he was obviously taken aback , and immediately showed shock: "Who designed this firearm? Who is Edward Edward?"

"Don't worry about these questions, I'll just ask you, how long will it take to make a matching mold?"

"Your Highness, the old molds are still used in the arsenal, and it will take at least three days to make new ones." The person in charge, Rashkov, pondered, "Besides, our arsenal is not big enough, and we can produce up to 300 rifles a day. If you If there is an urgent need, it is better to go to the Tomsk Arsenal."

"Tomsk is not under my jurisdiction." Katerina rejected Rashkov's proposal: "I will give birth here, and leave this matter to you. The sooner the better."

"clear."

"and also."

Katerina glanced at Ma Wei and Levin behind her, and continued:

"Find us a room with a forge."
