Chapter 196: Weapons Reform Act
It's good, it's been a surprise for me at the beginning, and I'm looking forward to your other innovations. After handing over the drawings of the mortar shells to Jeffrey, Murphy nodded in satisfaction.
"Is there a name for this cannon?" asked Murphy, pointing to the mortar.
"Yes! Our workers called him the rapid-fire cannon because it was much faster than our cannon, and it was named when we applied for a patent. Jeffrey replied.
"Actually, I think it's better to call it a rapid-fire mortar. Murphy stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Dare to ask His Highness, what is the meaning of the word mortar?" Jeffrey was a little puzzled, and stepped forward to ask for advice.
"Mortar, mortar, which means imminent firing, means striking the enemy's artillery at close range, or by its principle there is another interpretation, which is forced firing. Because, unlike the rear-charged cannon, the mortar shells are stuffed from the front, and its primer collides with the firing device, forcing it out. Murphy said with a slight pause in his words.
Jeffrey and the others nodded thoughtfully.
"Very good, let's go to another workshop to have a look!" Murphy saw that a few people understood, and he stopped talking nonsense at the moment.
"Your Highness, the Mayor, please follow me, and the next thing we will go to is our firearms workshop. Jeffrey bowed and said, leading the way for the Murphys in front.
The firearms production block is next to the cannon production block, and it takes about two or three minutes to walk into the workshop.
As soon as you enter, you can feel the hot atmosphere here, everyone is working hard, there are 2,000 workers standing in front of a total of 10 large production lines! As long as the resources are sufficient, each production line can produce at least 200 guns of all kinds every day.
"Your Highness, Mayor, this is our firearms production workshop! Basically all the guns and weapons you can see in Remlos Fort come from here. Jeffrey pointed to the large production line in the workshop and said proudly, "This is also the façade of our arsenal, where it brings the most revenue to the arsenal!"
"Very well, the Arsenal is also the pride of our Remlos Castle government, tell me about it!
"Yes, Your Highness!" Jeffrey stepped forward.
"We currently have a total of ten production lines in our firearms production workshop, four of which are for the production of rifles, two for the production of revolvers, one for the production of shotguns, and the remaining three for the new technology that has been formed, and all the production lines are currently working at all, producing 400 rifles, 300 pistols and 150 shotguns per day, and they can all be doubled if they are fully operational!"
"Very good! I am very satisfied with your work, I didn't expect that in the case of my surprise inspection, there is nothing to hide, very good!" Murphy was very happy to hear Geoffrey's words.
No matter what world you are in, it is an eternal truth that the bigger the fist, the more power you have to speak, and Remlosburg, a small border town, once faced threats from all sides, it is impossible to rely on conventional political, military, and extraordinary power to develop.
Since the discovery of the coal mine in the east of the city, it has basically been determined that Remlos Fort will inevitably go to industrialization, and the military guarantee of industrialization is the way of guns, so the more guns, the bigger the fist of Remlos Castle, the more power to speak.
Don't believe it? After the news of the defeat of the rebels has completely spread, you can come to the north to inquire about it, who will not show his thumbs up when he hears his Murphy's great name? Now with 5,000 troops, Fort Remlos is a proper northern tyrant!
The most important thing is that this industrial giant beast is still growing stronger and rising, compared with the old nobles in the north, it is like a rising and never-falling sun, and any ice and snow cold under the illumination of this sun will be a dead end sooner or later.
"But then again, I remember that I had decreed weapons innovation before, right?" asked Murphy, looking at Arthas.
"That's right, Your Highness. That was almost two weeks ago. Arthas recalled, nodding.
"So, have you seriously implemented the Weapons Reform Decree?" asked Murphy, looking back at Jeffrey.
"Of course, we have to actively cooperate with such an important bill!" Jeffrey pulled out a notepad and began to rummage through it.
"At that time, we had ten production lines in this workshop at full capacity, all of which were producing rifles, and in three days we were able to produce the number of rifles required by the Reform Act, and then it took another whole day to produce the standard number of pistols, and for this purpose we also called in the production lines of two cannon workshops, and finally completed the task within a week. All the equipment needed for the Weapons Reform Act is now piled up in our inventory, and we will never dare to misappropriate it without permission. Jeffrey read the statistics from his notepad.
"Of course, Your Highness, the cost is definitely not cheap. The cost price alone has exceeded 15,000 gold nanosos, and the total price is close to 20,000 gold nanosos when the overtime pay of employees is included. Jeffrey added another piercing sentence.
Arthas felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart, spurting blood. That's a whole 20,000 gold nasos! A mountain of gold coins! It's a gold coin that the dragon is blushing at the sight of it, and it's gone, that's the tax revenue of the Remlosburg City Hall for half a month!
"It's a lot of money, but it's all worth it. When Murphy heard this number, even if he was mentally prepared, his heart was still blocked.
"That's right, before visiting our production line, let's go and see the inventory warehouse, it's not that I don't trust you! I just want to see how the guy I got in exchange for such a large sum of money. Murphy paused and said in pain.
"Your Highness, please come with me!" Jeffrey understood, gesturing to Murphy to move over to the warehouse.
Murphy took a deep breath and followed Jeffrey.
The inventory warehouse is right next to the workshop, just a few steps away.
As soon as he entered, he could see thousands of large and small wooden boxes neatly arranged, and Jeffrey gave a look, and the two guards next to him casually took out a box and placed it in front of Murphy.
Murphy crouched down, closed the box, and opened the lid, where ten rifles were neatly arranged, and there was a woody scent, which was the smell of the butt and the case.
I picked one up and came out and felt the steel of the barrel, the wood of the body and stock, and the strap on the gun, all of which were genuine!
Pull out the bolt, the chamber of the gun is also very clean, and it also comes with the most basic magic circles.
