Drake's offshore vessels are not big. Compared to monsters that can cross the ocean, they are just a tiny tiny fraction of what they do.

It is impossible to compare the value of the magnificent cargo on board.

However, standing on the deck, he held his head high in the bow of the ship, but he was high-spirited and did not have a feeling of inferiority.

He doesn't know what natural dyes are, he doesn't know what synthetic dyes are, he only knows how to make money, he just wants to make money.

And, to this end, he integrated into New York, an international metropolis with a hinterland that touched the Great Lakes region, through which he now distributes synthetic dyes.

"Alan, let's go. "Captain Drake, call your own henchmen.

Leave the harbor full of whistles.

……

Unlike Drake, who was in New York, Doug was still in New Haven.

Although the city of New Haven is not large, it is more than enough to serve as a stage for Doug now.

Tom & Doug Chemical Company is able to produce more than 10 barrels of dyes of various colors every day.

The efficiency of a pure handicraft workshop without mechanization is not low, and it is much easier to expand production than "Monopoly" in a printing and dyeing factory.

At present, the total output of about 50 barrels of dyes per day is maintained, mainly because there is a lack of sufficient stability of coal tar as a raw material, and the dyes produced have no stable market.

Doug believes in Drake's ability to ship, but he also believes in Carlton's ability to defend his own interests.

So, he first drove Drake with benefits and asked him to test Carlton's abilities.

Prevent yourself from playing in person, accidentally hit the opponent's "first sight kill", and die with no place to be buried.

When he sees the other party's methods and comes up with a solution, the scales of victory will be tilted more towards him.

Today, though, instead of going to Tom's cabin, Doug went to Winchester Arms Company.

Since Oliver got several key technologies from Doug, the lights of Winchester Arms Company have not been extinguished.

The few remaining workers are not just workers, but engineers who can participate in the design of weapons.

New processes need to be matched with new technologies.

The first product of the combination of the two was a rifle.

Doug held the yet-to-be-named rifle and adjusted his posture as the technician corrected him.

"Bang!"

A shot was shot.

As the bullet spiraled out along the rifling, the recoil was also transmitted through the butt to Doug's shoulder.

Doug put down his gun, still with a slight tinnitus in his ears, and Oliver ran out to see the target himself.

"Hit! hit!"

Oliver, who ran from one side to the other and turned back for a total of 100 meters, shouted loudly with an excited expression on his face.

As long as you are a person who understands guns, you can see that Doug is not a veteran of guns.

However, it is such a freshman who can shoot a bullet at a target fifty meters away when he touches this gun for the first time, which already shows that this gun has an extremely friendly handiwork.

The ease of use of firearms may seem unimportant.

However, it is important for both individual buyers and military users.

Because, bullets cost money, and training needs bullets.

As firearms become more and more sophisticated, today's combat has long evolved from the original queue to shoot to a more advanced stage.

And at this stage, the preparation for shooting is not accurate, and it is a target that needs to be considered.

"I'll shoot two more shots. Doug said.

He wasn't as optimistic as Oliver, because he wasn't sure if the shot was a dead mouse that a blind cat had hit.

No one can say for sure.

Even if the probability of this gun rookie hitting the target is 1 in 10,000, he will shoot it in the first shot, which is 100 percent for his shot.

Only a sufficient number of samples will be able to get close to the real state of this gun.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suppress the bullet, load, shoot.

The movements went from dry to all in one go, and Doug felt like his shoulders were about to shatter.

Oliver continued to run to check it himself, and he stood fifty meters away, shouting, "Hit!

Doug walked over and saw that seeing was believing, looked at the four bullet holes on the paper target, and complimented, "This gun is not bad, it is quite easy to use." But...... Oliver, how easy is this gun to maintain?"

"Gore, demonstrate. Oliver commanded.

The weapon technician behind Oliver, his hands were fast, and he danced up and down with bells and whistles, and in no more than a minute, a complete gun turned into a pile of parts.

"Assemble it again. Oliver commanded again.

The weapon mechanic's thick hand was once again dexterous.

This time it took about two minutes for the gun to be assembled.

Oliver waited for the gun to be fully assembled, and looked at Doug expectantly, expecting him to look surprised.

However, Doug did not show a look of surprise.

This is because this kind of operation is only a basic operation in the PLA.

Doug hadn't been a soldier, but he had watched TV.

It's not the first time I've seen it, so naturally it's impossible to be as surprised as Oliver thought.

"It looks like the industry is easier to maintain. "So, the most important question, what about the cost?"

"Even if the cost is doubled, as a retail price, it is at least 20 percent cheaper than competing products from other companies. Oliver said confidently.

"What's its name?" said Doug, looking at the cold guy who didn't look cute at all.

"We ...... I'm going to name it after you......" Oliver said tentatively.

"My name?" Doug frowned slightly, although the dog tag rifle was quite easy to remember, but Doug didn't want to have anything to do with this killing device, he patted Oliver on the shoulder and said, "The design of this weapon was all made by you and your old buddies." So...... Just use your last name, Winchester and the year to talk about naming it.

How about calling Winchester 1859?"

"Winchester 1859?" Oliver repeated the name, feeling that it spoke to his heart, and that he had wanted to name his weapon like this in a dream.

"As for the contributions of other guys, we can't ignore them either. Why don't you use their first and last names and name some of the key parts of this gun?"

"This ...... It's wonderful!"

Oliver was already able to see the weaponsmith beside him, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Who doesn't want their name to be immortal?

"Then put their names on the parts. Oh yes. I guess we need some user testing. Oliver, just find some veteran gunners to test this Winchester 1859. Where do they think there is a problem, and then summarize it.

Weapons are designed to be durable and easy to use.

They are real users, and what they think is good is really good. ”
