The next day, Wang Lanling discussed the matter of Yayin at the meeting.

"Our machine guns, how's it going?"

Wang Lanling looked at the iron and gold ware, the people in the craftsman department will make guns, the craftsmanship of these things has been spread in many places, and what is lacking is only the material.

For example, rural people and herdsmen basically have the ability to do this.

Their theoretical ability is not high, but their practical ability is not bad, and these are the survival skills that need to be used.

The hometown where iron and gold lives is also a place that is good at this kind of craft, plus men's hobbies for guns and other things, so they can be regarded as half experts.

"It's done, and it can be fired eight times in ten seconds at the moment."

Wang Lanling frowned, "Is this still a machine gun, what kind of problem is it, I want the kind of musket that can fire continuously." ”

Tie Jinqi didn't understand what Wang Lanling meant, "You can shoot it in a row now...... The performance is very stable, and since the adults said they wanted this thing last year, I've been taking people to do this, and I promise that it won't blow up. ”

Wang Lanling and Tie Jinqi talked about this matter, and Tie Jinqi directly agreed at that time, so Wang Lanling didn't care too much.

At this time, when he heard the statement of the iron and gold weapon, Wang Lanling explained: "The continuous shooting I am talking about is not the kind of continuous shooting that is pressed and shot quickly. ”

Hearing this, Tie Jinqi said: "This is simple, you can improve it slightly, this style is mainly for the processing of the barrel and magazine, and you should pay attention to cooling, if you shoot one shot, it is easy to transform it." ”

Wang Lanling said directly: "I'm not asking you to change the switch!" I don't want that kind of machine gun, I want a machine gun with a theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute and an actual speed of more than 50 points! ”

"I know that the barrel will be hot, so I don't ask for six hundred bullets a minute, but at least in an extreme few seconds, to reach this speed, form a powerful fire suppression!"

Tie Jinqi looked at Wang Lanling, hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, what you are talking about is this matter, someone has done it before, but this thing is flashy and consumes too much. ”

Wang Lanling said solemnly: "I know! I talked about this in the textbook, so I knew that with the current technology, I could make it! ”

Tie Jinqi said: "It is difficult to make it, and it should indeed be able to be made, but this kind of machine gun only needs to be fired for a minute, and it will burn hundreds of dollars!" But if you test or use it a few times, it is not bullets that fly into the sky, but the money of hundreds of cattle and sheep! ”

The military industry of the empire is not short of technology, but of money.

The bandits fight directly with bayonets after one shot, and the officers and soldiers are better and can fire a few more shots.

But in the end, you still have to fight for a bayonet, which is less than thirty yuan for a person, and the price of a bullet and a gun is far more than this, and it is too luxurious to use ammunition.

In ancient times, pensions were almost non-existent, because service was a steel need.

Longzhou Tongzhou is also a matter of time, such as Shanzhou Muzhou, it is not easy for officers and local governments to make some money, don't even think about taking thirty yuan.

When a soldier dies and dies in vain, only when he is alive can he be paid for his salary.

Generally speaking, some generals' subordinates and direct troops have higher combat effectiveness because these people will guarantee some basic benefits to their subordinates.

The closer you get to antiquity, the less valuable human life becomes.

Fighting a war is sure to kill people, and Wang Lanling's practices and ideas have always been an outlier in this era.

It's not that you don't have the skills to make better guns, and it's not that you lack craftsmen and materials.

First, there is really no need, and the empire does not have the incentive to continue to burn money for scientific research.

Second, military spending is too large, and apart from officers who receive benefits and want to embezzle, most people have no need for such things as machine guns, and they are indeed not as quick to use as artillery.

This machine gun doesn't look expensive, but unless it is put in the warehouse to eat ashes, the bullet consumption this year is thousands of cattle and sheep!

Not to mention Shanhai County, but any county guard with common sense will not agree to the people below who burn money to play.

After determining that there is no problem with technology and personnel, and only money is the problem, Wang Lanling said solemnly: "Build!" Build it! Let's build two first! Don't worry about money, this thing has to be done! ”

Wang Lanling is aware of the deterrent power and effect of this thing, not to mention anything else, as long as there is a machine gun in the Xianshui Palace, unless it is a martial arts master and a cannon to wash the ground, otherwise the number of people alone will not rush to the entrance of the Xianshui Palace.

In this era, this thing is definitely a killer weapon more fierce than a cannon!

It's a lot of money, and it's easy to break the mentality of the machine gunner.

Gong Yueman and the others didn't understand why Wang Lanling wanted to make such a money-burning thing, because he hated too much money

Lin Zunian also has gunfight skills, so he understands the cost of bullets very well.

"My lord, even if I do this now, I won't be able to catch up with it for a while."

Wang Lanling said directly: "If you can't catch up, you can't catch up, this thing must be there anyway!" I also know about guns, so I'll go over and see it later. ”

This is not nonsense, Wang Lanling first learned painting when he was in school, and then he had to take all kinds of military knowledge, guns and other mechanical things.

Guns are very important props in this era, not necessarily used, but must be had.

You don't need more bullets either, one shot is enough.

More often than not, the bullet just stays quietly in the barrel.

The rest of the people are very helpless, as long as Wang Lanling is determined to do something, no one can persuade him to come back.

Zhao Gongqian said: "My lord, this thing is not as good as artillery, we attack Mustang Ridge this time, it is best to use cannons, when defending before, several cannon barrels have exerted a lot of strength." ”

Cannons also cost money, but they are still more affordable than machine guns with hundreds of rounds per second.

Listening to the persuasion of the rest of the people to Wang Lanling, Zhao Liangyan of the Tax Department said: "In fact, the machine gun is not too expensive, and the adult's earning ability is obvious to all. ”

Money is not a particularly troublesome thing, since you can make guns, you can naturally make bullets.

Besides, the iron factory, the copper factory, and the gunpowder factory are all their own people's affairs, not things that cost money.

Zhao Gongqian directly retorted: "It's not the problem of the gun, it's the problem of the bullet, this thing burns money faster than it burns money!" ”

Everyone actually understands some of Wang Lanling's thoughts very well, and the machine gun that Wang Lanling wants will definitely not be put in the warehouse to eat ashes, and it will definitely be used often.

As long as this thing is used regularly, the pressure on the craftsman department and several other departments is much stronger, and everyone has to solve this problem that they feel is unnecessary.

Now that the production technology has not been improved, it takes a lot of people to make machine guns and bullets, and those one or two thousand rounds of ammunition are actually enough to arm the entire Shanhai County!

Because of this, people who basically know something about it are more opposed to the development of this machine gun.

There are more than 100,000 people in Shanhai County, and there is only one person who really determines the direction of development and grand strategy!

"I said build! Then build it for me! "Wang Lanling completely ignored the rules of discipline and no longer used administrative power, but only his personal majesty.

"When I fight Wild Horse Ridge, I want to see those two machine guns that meet my requirements!"

"At all costs! Make it for me! ”
