Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 124 124 More New Weapons
In this era, the loading method of the lever rifle is not very conducive to lying down, so it was eventually eliminated by the cruel battlefield.

However, this does not mean that this thing is useless.It can be said that this rifle is still a very advanced weapon at this time.

At least, in Tang Mo's understanding, this thing has many application scenarios: first of all, it is a pretty good and elegant shotgun.As a plaything, it is exquisite and expensive, which is in line with the requirements of nobles.

Secondly, before the invention of the submachine gun, this kind of weapon that can pour a large amount of ammunition in a short period of time was also the first choice for individual combat in the wild for self-defense.

Ordinary rangers or mercenaries can buy such weapons to make up for the lack of firepower. With the revolver, they can completely cope with most combat environments.

In this kind of encounter, the disadvantage in range does not exist, and the complex mechanism is difficult to maintain and expensive, which is not a problem.

What's more, the lever rifle is still the pre-technical point of the shotgun. Only when this technology is thoroughly understood, will the production of shotguns be easier in the future.

Because of this, Tang Mo put the rifle back on the table with some regret, and said helplessly: "In fact, this weapon is not suitable for large-scale deployment of troops, because it is too complicated, expensive, and easy to use." break down."

"In terms of range, it doesn't have much of an advantage." Tang Mo thought of the flat-nosed projectile, and felt that this kind of thing was really not suitable for large-scale deployment.

However, what he thinks is not suitable, maybe someone thinks it is suitable—maybe Cyric, who is in a hurry to go to the doctor, may think that these weapons are worth investing in.

Tiger looked at the beautiful rifle with some pain, and regretfully said: "But..."

"It's nothing to worry about. Believe me, no one knows weapons better than me." Tang Mo directly denied the wrong path with the eyes of a latecomer.

He pointed to this kind of lever rifle called K2 rifle, and said without hesitation: "We will sell this weapon to the outside world. No matter who is willing to pay for it, we can sell it to him."

The scene fell into silence again, because everyone was still thinking about Tang Mo's words.Such an advanced weapon Tang Mo was ready to sell without hesitation, which made them somewhat puzzled as to what Tang Mo was thinking.

I only heard Tang Mo continue to introduce: "However, what we really want to introduce are the following three weapons."

"When developing the fuze of the C64 field gun, we also produced a very useful little thing..." Tang Mo said, and took out a fuze from his pocket, which looked like a small capsule, and put it on the table Up, so that everyone can see clearly.

He pointed to this thing that was about the size of a little finger, and introduced it to everyone: "This thing is called a firing device. It can be detonated by pulling and igniting all the gunpowder around it."

While speaking, he motioned Parker to take out the things in his pocket.After Parker put a grenade with a wooden handle on the table, Tang Mo continued to introduce: "So, we created a brand new individual weapon and named it: 'Grenade'! You can also call it a grenade Its exact name is the Datang Group B1 Wooden Handle Grenade, sounds nice, doesn’t it?”

After briefly demonstrating how to use it, Tang Mo placed the uncharged grenade in the middle of the table: "It can be thrown out and explode like a cannonball. This thing gives soldiers the power to suppress fire. A very versatile individual weapon!"

Of course, he couldn't let Parker bring a real grenade in, so this is just a prop for demonstration, and it doesn't have the function of exploding.

As for why to use a grenade with a wooden handle, this is a completely random (gu) (yi) choice. After all, this thing is too graphic. If it is not designed this way, Tang Mo will feel that he is sorry for his aesthetics.

That's right, the wooden handle grenade used by Tang Mo is closer to the grenade produced by the people in the old areas during the Anti-Japanese War. The wooden handle of this grenade is shorter than the German grenade, and it is easier to produce.

First of all, he has to take care of some of his own woodworking industry, and at the same time, he also needs to take care of the past life complex deep in his heart, so he finally chose such an interesting grenade as the first grenade weapon born in this world.

It may not be the best, but it definitely meets Tang Mo's requirements: simple and easy to produce, easy to throw and use, and not as bulky as a German wooden-handled grenade, which is not easy to carry.

"I have already written to the earl, and there will be new orders coming soon. It is estimated that he will purchase 3000 of these grenades, which will allow some of our factories to continue to operate." Tang Mo said, Picking up the most interesting long gun, he introduced: "The third weapon is this! It is a brand new individual weapon that we are really planning to transform into production, the K3 rifle! The full name is Datang Group K3 type rifle."

This is the KAR98K bolt-action rifle that Tang Mo copied based on the blueprint, which is also his personal preference.

It can be said that this rifle was almost a representative of the bolt-action rifle in the World War II era, and it was a representative with a less distinctive personality.

The Mosin Nagant rifle of the same era as it also has no technical features, mediocre as if everything is ordinary.

The Lee Enfield rifle has distinctive features, but it is expensive and cumbersome to train. It is not as good as the KAR98K rifle and the Mosin Nagant rifle in terms of equipment.

After much deliberation, Tang Mo decided to use Mauser's KAR98K rifle, because he himself liked KAR98K very much, and he had collected such an antique rifle before crossing.

Being able to reproduce this weapon in this world gave Tang Mo a feeling of familiarity.He stroked the barrel of the rifle and introduced to everyone: "This weapon has a total length of 1110 mm, a barrel length of 600 mm, and a standard weight of 3.9 kg. It adopts a brand-new design."

"It uses an 8mm caliber and 4 rifling lines. The manufacturing process is very complicated, so it cannot be mass-produced for the time being." He pulled the bolt, and the movement was extremely smooth.

There is no way, the production lines in Tang Mo's factory are a bit too complicated. He has several production lines producing the K1 rifles that North Ridge urgently needs, and he plans to use a factory building to produce K2 lever rifles.

In addition, he has a revolver production plant under construction, and the revolver factory has only been in production for less than half a year.

At the same time, he also has a rail production workshop, a train parts production workshop, and a train assembly workshop, plus a chemical production workshop and a steam engine production workshop...

The huge Datang Group now supports 5000 people, which has far exceeded the word "workshop" used to describe the scale of production in this world.

Tang Mo now uses factory to describe his company, and even if this company is placed in later generations, it will already be considered a large-scale company.

A total of 5000 people were scattered on the land purchased by Tang Mo, which made the land seem overcrowded.

How fast is Tang Mo's factory construction?The cement produced by the cement workshop in Bunas could no longer meet the expansion speed of Tang Mo's factory.

On the muddy land, factory buildings were built one after another, chimneys were erected one after another, and ravines were dug out one after another.

Tang Mo laid pipes and connected wires in the factory. As long as his lighting system is developed, he can immediately install electric lighting in almost all the factory buildings.

So, there are too many kinds of things produced in Tang Mo's factory now, so he already has a little idea of ​​​​splitting his own factory.

After a series of operations, he put the gun back on the table: "However, it represents the future! Gentlemen! This weapon will be the best rifle in our hands for a long time in the future! "

After speaking, he pulled out another revolver from his armpit, put the gun on the table, and introduced to everyone: "This is a modified revolver, and it is also our latest product. "

"Like a revolver, it can also shoot continuously, and it is a very convenient individual weapon!" After speaking, he opened the bullet chamber and poured out the bullets inside.

"The reason why we can produce so many new weapons is actually based on the innovation and progress of ammunition technology!" He pointed to the ammunition on the table and explained to everyone: "We will soon use metal fixed ammunition in the future. technology, and the supporting smokeless gunpowder technology!"

"Next spring, our new factory buildings will be put into production. Brand new gunpowder will be produced in those factories. With the support of these ammunition production workshops, we can use these more advanced weapons and equipment!" He said, While loading these bullets into his pistol one by one, he flicked the body of the gun to let the bullet nest snap into the body of the gun again: "See? It's easy to load and easy to use! This... is the weapon! This It's the weapon...the way it should be!"

"In the new year! I hope everyone remembers a fact! We are already the most advanced weapons manufacturer in the world! No one can shake our position! And no one can beat us in our field... !” He stood up as he spoke, with his head held high and his chest held high, to welcome everyone's warm applause.

Amid the applause, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the little apprentice Garza ran to Tang Mo, leaned against Tang Mo's ear, and reported in a low voice: "Someone from the dock said that a ship from Yang The big ship of the Wooden Kingdom has docked, and there is an elf on board who wants to see you."
