Alien Empire Total War

In the blink of an eye, time entered the beginning of 1752.

Under the intensive construction, the firearms factory located on the outskirts of Proden City was finally completed. The machines that had been purchased and prepared for a long time were also assembled in the factory under the careful handling of workers, and were quickly put into trial production, using existing material to make the first rifles.

The first batch of rifles were made, and they were inspected by professionals. Finally, a satisfactory result was given - the first batch of finished products was of qualified quality, and the factory was capable of mass-producing weapons.

After the firearms factory was completed, Charlie immediately invested in the improvement of the rifled gun and the development of the Mini cartridge. The letter from the family made him unconsciously have a sense of crisis in his heart. He was not afraid of the rebellion of the nobles, but he was worried that his family would also be involved, so he had to follow the rebellion.

Fortunately, not long after his reply was sent to Ankerton, Uncle Gunila sent another letter, saying that he would try his best to persuade the nobles to postpone the revolt. If those nobles did not listen to his advice, it would be for the benefit of the family , the Clos family will not rashly join the war.

The implication is that if the noble faction is willing to listen, they can continue to cooperate, but if they don't want to listen, then they will just sit on the sidelines and stand in line according to the wind of war.

In addition, Gunilla also revealed something to Charlie, asking Charlie to prepare for a guest from Ankerton these days.

A guest from the city of Ankerton?

Charlie was just astonished for a while, then quickly forgot about it, and turned his attention to the miniatures and rifled guns.

The mini bullet is completely different from the bullets used by soldiers now. The mini bullet is a conical bullet smaller than the diameter of the gun chamber. The **** is greatly reduced, but the damage is increased.

The lead bullet itself contains a certain degree of toxicity, coupled with the soft bullet head, it will be deformed by force immediately after hitting the human body, and even dispersed inside the human body. Even if the soldier does not die on the spot, it will be difficult to remove the bullet head in future operations, even if it is taken out. The lead poison left in the body will also affect human health all the time.

The mini bomb itself is not difficult to make. Charlie also had a certain art foundation in his previous life, so he ordered someone to bring pencils and drawings directly from the firearms factory, and simply drew the shape of the mini bomb on the drawing. The person in charge explained the design principle of the Mini bomb.

At the same time, since the concept of paper-wrapped bullets has not yet appeared in this world, Charlie also took advantage of the situation to propose it, and instructed the logistics officials to unify the quota of gunpowder assembly and use the paper-wrapped bullets.

As a technology that has been tested in another world, as soon as the paper-wrapped bullet was proposed by Charlie, the officers who inspected the gun factory with him have their eyes brightened. There is no doubt that they all saw the use of paper-wrapped bullets in war. The changes that can be brought about later, before that, soldiers still have to rely on their own experience to load black powder. Any factor may cause them to put more or less. If paper-packed bombs can be promoted in the army, not only the loading speed can be improved. The security is also greatly enhanced.

After thinking about this, they looked at Charlie, who was still chatting with the person in charge, full of admiration and admiration. As expected of a young man who could be promoted to general in his early twenties, whether it was canned before or now The paper-wrapped bombs are not to be underestimated!

They were also very interested in the mini bullet that Charlie was going to make. If Charlie was right, after the introduction of this lead bullet called the mini bullet, it would definitely greatly improve the combat capability of the army, and the soldiers did not need to At the risk of being shot, he advanced to a distance of fifty meters and returned fire.

Of course, some of them are also pessimistic about this. The reason why rifled guns are not equipped on a large scale is because of the difficulty of loading and the high production cost. It is not easy to carve a rifled barrel into the barrel. The job of rifling a gun barrel, an experienced worker can't drill a foot in a day...

At present, there is no special rifling machine, which requires workers to carve one by one with a hook-shaped sharpener, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Charlie decided to make a simple improvement on this hook-shaped broach, changing it from a single-point hook. The cutting method is upgraded to a multi-point broaching method—that is, adding multiple sets of dies on the basis of the original hook-shaped sharpener, so that the rifling can be cut without changing the broach.

This method was invented as early as the 19th century on the earth in later generations. Military rifles in the early 20th century used this method to make rifling. Even after the Germans invented the tempering method, many rifles still use this method. , which is sufficient to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

……

For the next few days, Charlie stayed busy in the firearms factory. Under his leadership, the factory manager and workers also put aside the idea of ​​lazy paddling and worked conscientiously with Charlie.

With Charlie's leadership, the research and development of the mini bomb has also achieved results~www.readwn.com~ The production of this kind of bullet is not very difficult, especially under the supervision of Charlie, the workers successfully completed the mini bomb. research and development, and placed the gray conical bullets in front of Charlie.

Looking at these lead bullets, Charlie couldn't help grinning. He hurriedly ordered someone to fetch a rifled rifle that had already been prepared and moved them to the shooting range attached to the gun factory, where the guards could load the ammunition and check the results. .

Different from the difficulty of using ordinary bullets, the guard seemed to be very smooth when loading the mini bullet. He easily used the tamper to stab the bullet into the bottom of the barrel, and then stood on the shooting position and aimed at a hundred meters away. Target.

boom--

A gunshot rang, and a conspicuous hole appeared on the body of the humanoid target 100 meters away, and there was only a slight deviation from the center of the target.

Then, Charlie ordered someone to pull up a new target at a position of 150 meters, and let the guards continue to shoot. It wasn't until 400 meters away that he lost his head.

The officers were amazed by the range and accuracy of the miniature rifles. They gathered around the range and pointed to the rifles in the guards' hands and whispered. Today's test firing was an eye-opener for them. They didn't expect to change to new bullets. The rifled gun actually works so well.

"If this can be assembled for the entire army, then we will be unmatched."

A division commander looked at the rifle eagerly and said to the people around him.

"There will be a day, I can already predict in advance the grand occasion of our army's full-scale assembly of rifled guns!" Another person said excitedly.

At this moment, Charlie asked the officers to come over and test the fire in person, and the officers onlookers swarmed up.
