The Saint Martin Kingdom Ordnance Factory.
The factory is located on the outskirts of the western part of St. Martin and is stationed by a company.
Today, an unusual plume of black smoke appeared above the ordnance factory.
Inside the factory.
There are only five people inside at this time.
is headed by Arthur.
There is also the Minister of Military Affairs, Shigekuni Yamamoto, Minister of Industry Giles.
One of the last two is a brawny man in his forties wearing military uniforms, who is the head of the ordnance factory.
There is also an old man with gray hair, glasses, and wrinkled face. He is the dean of the Kingdom Academy of Sciences.
Five people are enthusiastically surrounding a long production line.
"Crack, click!"
On the production line, various parts are constantly being assembled together, and slowly, the shape of a gun appears.
It is the Mauser rifle production line.
Aside, Daller, Gnar, and Giles were excitedly holding a drawing.
"Perfect, perfect!" Dal said, looking at the drawing in disbelief. The gun in the drawing is exactly the gun he wants!
"The steam can still be used like this?" Gnar said excitedly.
This production line is the production line of Mauser rifles, a complete production line powered by steam.
Originally, Arthur thought that the full production line included bullets and firearms at most. Unexpectedly, not only bullets and firearms, but also a variety of parts, gunpowder production in bullets, etc., are simply a complete set to the extreme.
With this set of production lines, even in primitive times, as long as there are raw materials, Arthur can get you firearms.
So, when this production line came out, Arthur also called Giles and Gnar to study the technology contained in it, even if it was a bit of research, it was a further step for the kingdom's technology.
"Rumble---"
After a while, with the roar of the machine, the first gun appeared.
There are many versions of the Mauser rifle.
And this production line produces the most famous version, Kar.98k, commonly known as 98k.
The effective range is 800 meters, the initial rate of fire is 755 meters, the magazine capacity is five rounds, the length is one meter, the barrel length is 60 cm, and the rate of fire is about 15 rounds per minute!
Arthur picked up the gun, made a gesture, and loaded the already produced bullets into the gun.
"Go, go to the shooting range and try!" Arthur said cheerfully.
"Your Majesty, please here!" Dalle quickly made a please gesture and took the lead in front.
Yamamoto Shigekuni and Giles, and Gnar hastened to keep up!
The shooting range is next to the factory, it is not big, with a radius of 500 meters.
As soon as he arrived at the shooting range, Arthur frowned.
For nothing else, the shooting range is too small.
The farthest target is only 500 meters. With a range of 98K, this is too close.
"Wait!" Arthur stopped Dalle, "You go in and set the target, I'll try it here!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Dalle was a little confused, he nodded.
Although he has seen the drawings of firearms, he does not know the specific power!
Arthur stepped back more than a hundred meters.
When Daller set the target, Arthur raised the gun and closed his eyes.
Aiming.
"boom!"
Bullet shot out.
A hole appeared in the center of the target.
Before anyone else could say anything, Arthur retreated another two hundred meters and reached 800 meters.
Aiming.
"boom!"
again this time, but not in the center, but around the 9th ring.
"Boom boom boom!"
Arthur fired three shots in a row, emptied all the bullets in the magazine, all of them were nine rings!
It's not that Arthur's marksmanship was bad, but the 800-meter bullet started to float a bit, but it was still effective.
"Well!" Arthur nodded in satisfaction.
"In terms of the power, rate of fire and magazine clip of this gun, as long as there are thirty or fifty guns in place, even if the general major is not proficient in iron or armed and domineering, it will be very uncomfortable, and finally embarrassed. Flee!" Yamamoto Shigekuni analyzed seriously.
Although his weapon is a knife, as a military minister, he knows a lot about guns. The power of this gun has exceeded his expectations.
At this time, Dalla also ran over, looking at the gun in Arthur's hand slightly in shock!
Unexpectedly, this gun can hit the target so far!
"From today, we will make every effort to produce this kind of guns, and strive to replace them with this kind of guns in the entire army within four months!" Arthur told Dalle that if this production line runs 24 hours a day, it will probably be able to produce. Two hundred guns out.
"Your Majesty, what is the name of this gun?" Dalle asked puzzledly.
"The name..." Arthur pondered for a moment and said, "It's called Saint Martin's rifle!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dalla said respectfully, and then hesitated for a while and said, "Then, your Majesty, what should I do with the remaining guns and the previous production line?"
Arthur pondered for a moment, and said: "Continue to produce, I will be useful after a while!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Dalle nodded.
What is the most profitable thing in this world?
Of course it’s arms!
Arthur has been on this idea for more than one day or two days.
Since the Blood Harbor Town of the Chris family was taken over, with the gold given by Arthur, he soon recruited a man and horse, and took the territory of a small family.
After moving the site, they started to return to their old business, but because the site they occupied was too remote, the business has not improved much, only some old customers came!
The site is remote, and the cost of smuggling and transportation has naturally increased a lot. Of course, the selling price has also increased a lot, but you are not the only one selling arms in Xihai.
Pirate, why don’t the Mafia choose cheaper ones?
Right now, they will supply the eliminated guns to the Chris family and let them sell them.
Even the eliminated guns in the Kingdom of St. Martin are considered top-notch goods in the outside world. They have recently been converted to steam production line mechanical production, which is much more accurate and cheaper than the manual production in the outside world.
is better and cheaper. It must be a hot-selling product.
Supply the Pirates, supply the Mafia, supply the kingdom in battle, think about it, all make money!
"Dalla, have those things been produced yet?" Arthur asked.
"In response to your Majesty, the Academy of Sciences gave us the recipe drawings a month ago, and some were produced by hand yesterday. How about I bring some over and see?" Dalle asked.
"Well, go get it!" Arthur nodded.
After a while, Dalla returned, followed by a few craftsmen, holding three things.
The first piece ~EbookFREE.me~ is a wooden handle-shaped thing, yes it is a grenade.
This thing is easy to operate, easy to use, and easy to carry. The range depends entirely on the user's arm strength, and it also has good power. It has a miraculous effect when the infantry fights at close range.
There are all kinds of weird black technologies in Pirates, and there are even bombs that can blow up a city, or explosive rock that can be amazing, but there is no grenades.
The only thing that looks like a grenade is the cannonball that Karp dropped with his hand.
But, is that something normal people can lose?
A normal person who can throw a few meters is considered to be a relatively strong hand.
In this case, Arthur ordered people to study a grenade.
The research of grenade is not very difficult. The basic composition consists of three parts, projectile body, charge and fuze, so it is easy to study it!
This is to be equipped for the army of the Kingdom of Saint Martin!
The second type is something Arthur is going to sell.
Flying thunder cannon, commonly known as a conscientious cannon, is simple to make and easy to operate. It has a short range, high danger, and is easy to hurt yourself.
However, it has an advantage that other guns can’t match, and the price is extremely low.
Making materials: Just add some explosives to a tin bucket.
Therefore, imitation is also simple.
However, this one made by Arthur is not the same as a normal unscrupulous gun.
is not made of tin tubes. In order to delay the imitation time as much as possible, it is made into a dragon head shape. The interior looks more complicated and has a certain thickness!
Of course, the core is still a conscientious gun, and the price is relatively low. It is suitable for those kingdoms with relatively low money, pirates, and mafia. Anyway, they don't need to use too good. It would be good to be able to beat people!
There is a third kind...
