Thunder Mountain West District, the hall of the "Research Institute" of the Divine Creation Camp.

Chen Jiu hurried to the Shenzao Camp and summoned Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang, who were instructing the craftsmen and improving the craftsmanship, and he showed the design drawings of the artillery and firearms that had already been prepared to the two of them for review and study.

These design drawings are hand-drawn sketches by him from memory, and they are all drafts related to the development of firearms and artillery.

Today, Chen Jiu brought them over to let Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang, these two professionals, jointly discuss a set of research and development plans from the perspective of practical manufacturing.

Artillery and guns are the standard equipment of the Thunder New Army.

Since he had made up his mind to build an army that was completely different from this world, the equipment naturally had to be different.

Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang took the drawings given to them by Chen Jiu, and after carefully checking and studying, Xuan Guang showed a very excited expression, and he said on the spot that according to the technology they currently mastered, it is not difficult to develop and produce the gun itself.

After carefully reading the production principles of bullets and shells, Xuan Yi immediately said that if he was given time, he should soon succeed in researching them.

Chen Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the iron-making and steel-making technology in this world was more developed than he imagined. Originally, he thought that the biggest problem in making guns was qualified steel!

But from the reactions of Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang, he found that the problem he was most worried about was not a problem at all.

He soon decided to let Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang set up a special research and development team, and immediately began to carry out research and experiments on guns, and people, money, and materials were at their disposal.

He can't wait!

And he himself plans to stay in the Divine Creation Camp, staying with the research team, he wants to personally participate in the research of guns, and he wants to see the birth of the "peerless weapon" of this world with his own eyes.

He arranged for Wang Daniu to go to inform Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Ah Fu, and immediately began to recruit soldiers from among the orphans in Shuzhou Town.

He had already discussed the specific recruitment details with the cheap dad last night, and now he only needs three people to carry it out, and it can be done!

He first arranged for Zhang Long, holding the token of the cheap father, to go to the Support Department of the Town Shoufu Mansion to directly select and recruit new soldiers. Zai'an sent Zhao Hu to various cities in Shuzhou to recruit eligible recruits. In the end, An Pailin Xiaofu returned to the mansion to carry out recruitment statistics.

After arranging these important things, he began to devote himself to the research and development of the equipment of the Thunder New Army.

......

For ten days in a row, he ate and lived with the development team and many craftsmen in the production workshop, reaching the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

They started by making artillery!

This suggestion was jointly put forward by Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang, after all, with the successful experience of grenades, it is relatively easy to get started with the development of artillery shells. In their opinion, the craftsmanship of the cannon itself is not very difficult, and after a breakthrough in the production process, the research and development of firearms will naturally come handy.

The main reason is that Chen Jiu also wants to have weapons of mass destruction as soon as possible, time waits for no one, war is imminent, and it is a realistic need to develop artillery first.

Chen Jiu immediately decided to set up an artillery research and manufacturing team first.

Xuan Yi recruited 500 people from the craftsmen who made gunpowder to join his artillery shell research team. They were led by Xuan Yi, and this team was responsible for the development of artillery shells.

Xuanguang, on the other hand, transferred 1,000 people from the craftsmen who made grenade bodies and cast steel to join his cannon body research and manufacturing team. They are led by Xuanguang, and this team is responsible for the research and development of the cannon body.

The two research and manufacturing teams work closely together!

Enter the state of selfless research!

And Chen Jiu, of course, is responsible for the central command!

Ten days!

For ten days, the cannon body research and manufacturing team led by Xuanguang, under the guidance of Chen Jiu and under the leadership of Xuanguang, they continued to experiment, improve, and make progress from rough molds, to rough casting gun bodies, and then to casting processes, with remarkable results. Finally, on the tenth day, they cast a cannon that all of them considered qualified.

The research and manufacture of artillery shells, under the leadership of Xuan Yi, they worked closely with the artillery body development team led by Xuan Guang, and on the same day, they successfully developed the artillery shells and entered the state of mass manufacturing at any time.

It's a double happiness!

Chen Jiu is overjoyed! Extremely excited!

The artillery design drawings provided by Chen Jiu were made by imitating the "Type 94" mountain gun, and the artillery they jointly developed was 75 mm caliber, 1.56 meters long, and weighed about one ton.

The barrel is used to give the projectile muzzle velocity and the direction of flight, the tail of the gun is used to load the shell, and the bolt is used to close the chamber and fire the shell.

The gun carriage consisted of an anti-recoil device, an aiming device, a large frame, and two steel wheel disc towing bodies.

Through the painting of the craftsmen, an imposing and murderous black cannon was presented in front of them, and everyone was full of pride.

The success of the development of this artillery is inseparable from the support of the family's financial and human resources, and the experimental steel they consumed in the past ten days alone is far more than 1,000 tons, and they have failed hundreds of times.

The raw materials are countless!

This large-scale research and development of artillery has emptied half of the inventory of the Shenzao Battalion, although most of the failed products can be rebuilt, but without strong support, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed.

It also made him realize the importance of family!

In the process of research and development, if every place is not perfect, they will tear it down and start over, and it must be perfect. Now his divine camp has this strength, and all kinds of materials, with the strong support of the family, are very well prepared.

Xuanguang played a very key role in the research and development of artillery, he was good at developing various equipment, fireworks and grenade shells are his masterpieces, and the research and manufacturing team under his leadership solved one problem after another.

He even took the time to divide the research and manufacturing team into several groups, each group was responsible for the research and development of one or several components, and he unified the overall coordination, which was completely the style of the big scientists of contemporary military enterprises.

Chen Jiu admired Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang in his heart, he only provided theory, and in the specific practice process, there was almost no place for him to intervene, just the guidance of the general direction.

This made him very pleased, Xuan Yi and Xuan Guang were the talents he temporarily recruited during the Winter Solstice Festival last year, and now it seems that he was able to accommodate their senior brothers, and he picked up the huge treasure!

On the day of the successful development of the artillery, Chen Jiu gave rich rewards to the craftsmen who participated in the research and construction, and announced that they would take a three-day break and go home to rest.

The craftsmen were immediately grateful!
