The Age of Awakening: From the Young Runtu

Chapter 153
In the second year, spring begins.

It has been three months since Runtu took office.

There was a letter from David, and the weapons and equipment had been delivered to Shanghai Beach.

Weapons worth more than 100 million taels of silver.

That is one hundred machine guns, plus bullets.

quite expensive.

Calculated in this way, the imperial court's taxes for a whole year can only buy three or four thousand sticks.

The total money is so much.

But there is no balance at all.

Funds are needed everywhere.

Runtu went to Shanghai Bund again, bringing dozens of new troops with him.

After all, such a large number of weapons can be concealed by more people, although they rely on their own space capabilities to transport them.

"Zhang, everything is here."

Runtu happily gave the money, thinking that after cooperating for so long, David didn't have to lie to himself.

It is still very shocking to put a hundred machine guns together.

David: "So many machine guns, how do you want to transport them?"

Runtu: "My men came here in a car."

"Go test the gun first. I'll arrange for someone to teach your men how to shoot."

Drove the car to the suburbs.

There are no people around here, so it is a good place to test guns.

He brought ten machine guns, five Gatlings, and five Maxims.

It took a lot of effort to get it off the car and set it up.

David: "Zhang, get ready, this machine gun is very powerful."

Runtu didn't take it seriously.

He is a descendant, and he has seen many advanced weapons on TV.

This Gatling and Maxim are also very fierce.

But compared with the weapons of later generations, it is nothing at all.

David's people began to teach the people in Runtu how to use it.

Runtu's new army has all played with pistols and rifles.

This machine gun is the first contact.

It's also simple, and there are some tastes that are similar to each other.

Shooting a gun is not difficult.

If someone teaches, you can learn it in a short time.

It took about half an hour to learn almost everything.

After waiting for half an hour, Runtu was also a little impatient.

But this is more than 100 million taels of equipment, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer.

After learning, start preparing to shoot.

Aimed ahead.

Ma Keqin weighs sixty catties.

Gatlin, two hundred catties younger.

They're all super hard to move.

There are limitations.

Not as good as some new equipment of later generations.

After three or 40 years, it will almost be obsolete.

The Maxim heavy machine gun is currently the most powerful, and it will still be the most powerful after more than ten years, with a record of killing 6 people in a single day.

"shooting!"

The order is issued.

Ten machine guns fired simultaneously.

After playing for 30 seconds, it stopped.

The big trees in front of me fell down a lot.

Two or three thousand bullets were directly consumed.

Here are several hundred taels of silver.

Only 30 seconds, but you can also see the horror of the machine gun.

Runtu said: "Go on, these bullets are finished."

Want to see more of the situation.

It takes about 3 minutes at most to finish everything.

It takes some time to change the magazine.

Only so many bullets were brought.

Keep firing.

Almost every machine gun fired thousands of bullets.

Let the soldiers who play machine guns have enough addiction.Also a little scared.

If this greets people, they must not be beaten into a sieve.

3 minutes passed, and the bullets were all fired.

This consumption made David a little distressed, it was all money.

I lamented that Runtu was rich and powerful.

Even the court is reluctant to spend it like this.

Runtu also tried the gun.

There is no fighting for now.

These weapons are the same as nuclear weapons. They can be disused, but they must be available. It is uncertain when they will come in handy.

Suddenly saw a soldier curled up on the ground.

Still howling.

Runtu hurried over to have a look.

"what happened?"

"It hurts, my lord, it hurts so much."

His arms were red.

Runtu knew some medical skills, so he knew right away that it was a burn.

Burned by the gun barrel.

This is a shortcoming of Maxim.

It is too easy to heat up after high-speed shooting.

Even if you use too much, the gun may be scrapped.

This is a relatively big flaw.

Maxim company is still constantly updating and upgrading.

So far, they have not overcome this shortcoming.

Even after arriving, the gun will still get hot after being used a lot.

It's just that the temperature will not be as high.

Take out the hemostatic powder from the space and sprinkle it on him.

This is hemostatic and not particularly effective for burns.

But the pain can be delayed.

Use it first.

There are a lot of herbs planted in the space.

Runtu started to mix it directly in the space, and some paste liquid came out.

Specially designed to treat burns.

"Put it on. It will ease your pain."

"Thank you sir."

He quickly picked it up.

The pain of the burn is too uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable than cutting a knife.

Xiangzi was startled at first, thinking that the soldier had been shot, so he curled up on the ground.

People died in the gun test, so the more than 100 million spent is meaningless.

David was also a little nervous when he saw people falling to the ground.

Knowing that it was a burn, it got better, so I quickly came over to explain, "This is normal. The barrel of the Maxim machine gun will be very hot. This is a problem with all machine guns, even rifles and pistols. Magazines get hot too."

He is trying to explain.

He is aware of this problem.

People in the arms business naturally know this hot issue.

I didn't think it was a big deal.

The main reason is that Runtu's gun test was too awesome.

Directly used up thousands of bullets.

It's almost enough to spend so much on the battlefield.

After taking the medicine, the person improved a lot.

The pain was significantly relieved.

But the marks of burns on the arms can be clearly seen.

For men, a little scar on the arm is not a big deal.

Seeing this, Runtu wondered if he could still make a skin care ointment.

He has learned some Chinese and Western medicine, and his knowledge of pharmacology is getting richer and richer.

Know that ginseng can beautify the skin.

The effect of ginseng in your own space will be better.

Women, no matter what age they are, attach great importance to beauty.

Willing to pay high prices.

This is true for Chinese people, and so is for foreigners.

Skin care products will be a big market.

Have to research a salve.

This time I spent more than 100 million taels of silver, so I have to earn it back.

It is best to earn it back from foreigners.

David: "Zhang, what do you think of these guns?"

"Excellent. Probably the only downside is that the barrel gets too hot."

Easy to heat means that it is easier to scrap.

However, it can also be used for a long time before being scrapped.

Overall it's ok.

With this hundred machine guns.

Even if people from the imperial court want to come over to make trouble, it needs to be weighed.

There is a heavy price to pay.

The current people in Jiashan are obedient to Runtu.

Jiaxing is a little more difficult.

That has to be done, and sooner or later he will become like Jiashan.
