Qiu Honglin continued to say in an excited tone: "The engineers of the Ordnance Department and Qingshan Machinery Factory have tried many kinds of designs for breech-loading rifles, and the caliber we have tested is 13 mm and 11 mm, and the barrel length has also been tested in a variety of ways, and finally determined that after the all-metal bullet with a long projectile body, the 11 mm caliber barrel performs the best, and the cost is acceptable!" ”

"As for the part of the bolt, we mainly designed the structure of the rotary rear puller, but the structure of our rotary rear puller is still relatively complex, the processing process requirements are relatively high, and it is also relatively easy to fail, which is not as simple and reliable as the rotary rear puller of the South China Sea rifle!"

"We're going to combine these two options to create an 11mm caliber rotary pull-back machine rifle, and we're going to design a magazine for this rifle to increase the rate of fire, as you mentioned earlier!"

Hearing Qiu Honglin say this, Lin Ziran said: "The new rifle, let the engineer design it well, consider the performance and cost in detail, be good, and be able to afford it, but this new gun research and development design, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time!" ”

Qiu Honglin said: "This is true, even if it is fast, it will take at least a month, so that it can make a sample gun, and a large number of various tests will be carried out in the follow-up to be equipped on a large scale, if everything goes well, I am afraid it will take more than three months before and after." ”

Lin Ziran: "It's been three months since everything went well, and if there is any problem in the middle, it is estimated that it will not be needed for half a year!" ”

"The new gun continues, but before the development of the new gun is completed, the main work still has to be put on the modification of the Fuyuan musket and the improvement and production of the South China Sea breech-loading rifle!"

"Now the troops urgently need rear-loading rifles, whether it is a Qingshan II rifle or a South China Sea rifle!"

Qiu Honglin immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I know the seriousness of the matter.

"Until the design of the new gun is completed, we will continue to massively modify the Fuyuan musket, and at the same time produce the improved South China Sea breech rifle!"

"The Ordnance Section already has a detailed improvement plan, in order to ensure production, so the rest of the place is basically unchanged, and only a small improvement design is made for the firing pin, in order to be able to fire our semi-metal bullets from the South China Sea breech-loading rifle."

"The paper-shelled bullet they used before, the primer was in the middle of the bullet, alas, the engineers of the Ordnance Section really couldn't understand why the designers of the Nanzhou Bank put the primer in the middle of the bullet......"

"And our semi-metal bullet primer is at the bottom of the bullet, so that the firing pin needs to be improved in a targeted way."

"After switching to our semi-metal bullets, although there will still be a certain amount of air leakage in the South China Sea rifle, this level of air leakage is no longer a big problem, and it will even be lighter than the air leakage problem of our Aoyama II rifle!"

"The modified South China Sea rifle has a much better performance in all aspects than the Qingshan II rifle that we have now modified with the Fuyuan musket, and it can also directly use all-metal bullets in the future."

Lin Ziran said: "Well, that's good, it seems that this South China Sea rifle will be one of our main rifles in the future!" ”

Saying that, Lin Ziran himself laughed!

One of the purposes of fighting the county town is to accept this Luoan Arsenal.

This arsenal is one of the few large-scale comprehensive arsenals in the entire Nanhai Prefecture that can produce muskets, gunpowder and artillery on a large scale.

Although the scale and technology cannot be compared with the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory and the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, it can be regarded as the top three arsenals in Nanhai Prefecture.

This arsenal is of great significance to Lin Ziran's future.

Because of this arsenal, Lin Ziran was able to mass-produce rear-loading rifled rifles using metal fixed charges.

As for the current Qingshan Type 2 rifle, it is just a modification of the Fuyuan musket, and it can be used, but that's it, at most it is an emergency move.

Speaking from the heart, the South China Sea rear-loading rifle made by those people at the Nanzhou Bank is quite good, boldly and innovatively using a small caliber of 13 mm, rotating the rear pull machine, front end locking, paper shell fixed bullet and other designs.

The effective range of 600 meters not only means that the range is long, but also the accuracy is high!

Whether it is the rate of fire or the effective range, it is actually much better than the rear-loading rifle modified from the Fuyuan musket.

And the problem of air leakage and the problem that the firing pin is easy to break, this is purely a bullet problem, and with their semi-metal bullets with a primer at the bottom of the bullet, the firing pin problem can be solved directly, and the air leakage problem can also be solved by more than half.

The most important thing is that now with only a small change, Lin Ziran can get hundreds of this new type of rear-loading rifle every day.

Lin Ziran attached great importance to this arsenal, and continued to say to Qiu Honglin: "The arsenal should make proper arrangements to immediately revise the relevant design of the South China Sea rifle, and then immediately organize the resumption of production of rear-loading rifles and rear-loading guns, and also organize manpower to help modify the Fuyuan musket!" ”

The production of new rifles was too slow, and the production of only about 100 rifles on this day was 3,000 in a month.

That's still too little!

You must know that now Lin Ziran has tens of thousands of people waiting for the rear loading gun.

The production of new ones is relatively slow, so it can only continue to modify the Fuyuan musket to make do with it first.

If the Fuyuan musket is modified with the Fuyuan musket, the modification speed is extremely fast, and the Qingshan Machinery Factory is proficient in this kind of thing, and it can be modified at least 5,000 in a month.

With the addition of the Luo An Arsenal, the output of the modification will be even greater.

It's not very good, but it's a rear-loading rifle, at least a lot better than a front-loading rifle.

There is no need to worry too much about the problem of rifles, and now he has at least 10,000 Aoyama II rifles on hand, equipped with the four infantry regiments of the first division and the cavalry regiment.

At the same time, about 10,000 South China Sea rifles were seized one after another, and these South China Sea rifles were equipped with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and even part of the three cavalry brigades.

It is worth noting that it is not a centralized equipment, but a part of the light infantry company or the original chasseur company in each regiment, so that each regiment has a certain amount of long-range infantry firepower as much as possible.

Compared with muskets, in fact, Lin Ziran attaches more importance to rear-loading artillery!

"The equipment here meets the needs of manufacturing afterloading steel cannons, so don't delay, organize production immediately, we urgently need a large number of afterloading artillery!"

Breech-loading rifles are a good thing, and breech-loading guns are even more of a good thing!

Without these two 75-millimeter breech-loading guns for long-range suppression and artillery bombardment, it would be impossible for a large number of smoothbore artillery units on their side to carry out artillery bombardment without any estimate, and then lay down an artillery advantage on the battlefield.

Two doors, too little, he needs more!

Anyway, let's get together six guns and get the establishment of an artillery company out!

After Qiu Honglin nodded in response, he hurriedly went out again, as the director of the logistics department, he was much busier than Lin Ziran.

Since yesterday, he has been taking the people from the logistics department to constantly check and count, and at the same time to organize logistics and supply affairs, in short, all kinds of messy things have been pushed to his side in a short time, so that he is busy so that his feet do not touch the ground.

But although it was very hard, when Qiu Honglin went out, his steps were very brisk.

Because he sees the future!

A bright and brilliant future!

The adults of his own family are now the county guards, and the unified Luo An is in sight, and at this time he is the director of the logistics department.

And according to their current development momentum, after the unification of Luo'an, then it will be to unify the two counties of Luoguang.

After the unification of the two counties of Luoguang and Guangzhou, then it is possible to start unifying the nine counties of Nanzhou.

After the unification of Nanhai Prefecture, he, the director of the logistics department, is estimated to be promoted to the head of the logistics department, and in the future, it is estimated that he will be the founding father.

The future is bright and bright!

Even though it's hard now, he's willing to do it!
