Chapter 277: An epoch-making invention

Ye Kai sighed, the most ruthless emperor family, although their Ye family is not an emperor yet, it is almost the same.

These things really need to be paid attention to, otherwise, maybe one day, there is really a bold guy holding Ye Fu hostage to do something, what should Ye Kai do?

Moreover, Wu Yuansheng has more than 10,000 dingkou in his hands, and thousands of private armies, which are abruptly placed in the revival company, which is not a matter after all.

Originally, Ye Kai thought that when he arrived in a new place, he would be a little more peaceful, but now it seems that he completely overestimated him!

"Alright! I asked Gu Lihuan to draw some people from the Construction Division to build a big courtyard for you, Wu Yuansheng and these people, I will deal with them, father, don't think about it too much, we are father and son, you know me, I know you, you don't need to deliberately avoid it.

Ah Sheng, they are your son, and they are also my younger brothers, I will not treat them badly, after Yuwan gives birth, I will go to Kuala Lumpur to sit in the town for a while, here in Beifu, I still need you to sit in the town. ”

"Good!" Ye Fulai showed a relieved smile, since Ye Kai came back from Europe, the father-son relationship, which was a little estranged, seemed to have warmed up a lot!

gave Ye Fulai a reassurance, and made love with Ruan Shimeng and Huang Ruqiong, who hadn't seen him for a long time, Ye Kai hurried to the arsenal that was rebuilt from the original Daqing Mosque.

The arsenal now produces about 1,000 flintlock pistols a year, as well as lead bullets and picric acid bombs that can basically be used by the army.

What's more, the Baker rifled gun, which is currently in the research and development stage, is also being secretly developed in the arsenal, and it has been tested four times, and it is about to be finished product, and Ye Kai went for this.

In the first arsenal, Ye Kai walked into this arsenal that seemed to be a county-level workshop in the fifties and sixties, and when he looked up, the people who came and went were basically white-skinned, and the Chinese he saw were either apprentices or pure manual laborers who were responsible for cleaning and handling.

No way, the word skilled worker is still a novelty for the Chinese who have gone through a hundred years of foolish rule by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there may be skilled workers in Foshan and other places on the mainland, but in Nanyang, there are none.

And what is the most important thing to achieve industrial mass production?

It's skilled workers and engineers, and without skilled workers, don't even think about mass production or anything!

After a period of contact, Ye Kai finally knew the importance of skilled workers, and also knew why the later republics would classify skilled workers so finely.

Because they are so important, a qualified skilled worker is the guarantee of output and the soul of the factory.

So the current Ye Kai doesn't care too much about how many flintlock guns and picric acid bombs his arsenal can produce, what he cares about most is how many qualified skilled workers can be trained for him?

In the current Fuxing Company, there are two kinds of people who are most popular, one is a soldier who can enter the company's regular army, and the other is a skilled technical worker.

The white-skinned workers and engineers hired from India lived the best life in the whole Beifu, and they were not used to living in Chinese-style courtyards, so Ye Kai privately paid for the construction of a four-story Western-style western-style building, and the decoration was according to the standards of the current European aristocracy.

Every white-skinned skilled worker was accompanied by at least one Aboriginal woman as a concubine and two or three Aboriginal men as servants.

It was all queen bread baked with eggs and milk, not the kind of black bread with sawn flour and lime.

You can eat at least one barbecue a day, and each person is also provided with a large bottle of rum every two days, which is definitely a day that future generations of workers must look up to.

Even the Chinese mechanics who are studying are enviable, and if a young man is selected to enter the factory as an apprentice, it is a big event to set off firecrackers and hold a banquet.

Due to the fact that he was selected to enter the factory only based on culture and skill, this profession has now become the most important channel for the promotion of mixed-race Chinese, that is, Babas, as long as he enters the factory, his Baba identity will become blurred.

Therefore, in the four states of the Fuxing Company, Chinese men with indigenous characteristics can be seen everywhere, desperately reading books such as mathematics and basic physics written by Ye Kai, and they are all eager to change their fate.

。。。。

In the secret laboratory of the arsenal, five rifled guns that have not yet been named have been built. Baker, in father Williams. With Baker's help, the Baker rifled gun was invented almost ten years ahead of schedule.

This rifled gun is much more advanced than the Minin front-loading rifled gun currently used by Ye Kai's army, with a more accurate trajectory, a longer range, and stronger lethality, and the bullet is wrapped with a thin and tough deerskin, which greatly improves the efficiency of loading.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! "Ye Kai brought five soldiers from the army, who were the fastest in the army, the best marksmanship, the decent, the slowest loading, and the most crotch-strained marksmanship.

Five people held five Baker rifled guns, and fired a total of five robberies in a row.

Among them, the fastest is basically kept firing once in forty seconds, and the slowest can also be fired once in about one and a half minutes, which is about twice as efficient as the current Minin front-loading rifled guns with an average of more than two minutes, which is a remarkable leap.

In terms of the accuracy of the firing range, the worst marksmanship also achieved the effect of effective killing at about 180 meters, while the best marksmanship, at a distance of 270 meters, still accurately hit the target, and also penetrated the iron armor that was used as a target.

Again, this is an increase of sixty or seventy meters compared to the maximum effective range of two hundred and twenty meters from the Minin front-loading rifled gun.

Don't underestimate these sixty or seventy meters, in today's battlefield, the effective range of smoothbore guns is only eighty or ninety meters, and it can produce a large number of casualties at least sixty or seventy meters.

And the Baker rifled gun, although the loading is still slower than the smoothbore gun, but the effective range is also 2120 meters on average, which is amazing! This is!

In the future, on the battlefield, two hundred light infantry is estimated to be able to directly collapse the line infantry equipped with smoothbore guns that are three or even four times as large as theirs when there is no light infantry on the opposite side!

Ye Kai's eyes were blazing and he looked at the young Ichkiel. Baker, the little boy in England, though already a murderous soldier, still looks a little immature.

He knew that Ye Kai was looking at him, and the freckles on his face were shining with excitement.

Historically, the Baker flintlock musket did not become famous until 1800, and three years later, in 1803, it began to be equipped on a large scale to the 95th rifle regiment.

And now, under the 'discerning eye' of the traverser Ye Kai, it has arrived in advance as an advanced secret weapon.

"Little Baker, come here!" Ye Kai rushed at Ichkiel. Baker beckoned.

Little Baker walked over excitedly, Ye Kai took his hand and walked to the workshop of the factory.

Ye Kai stood on a step and looked at the factory workers and technicians who had stopped busy in their hands, including white-skinned and Chinese.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for you. Mr. Baker, he has just invented an epoch-making weapon, and although I can't tell you what it is at the moment, I will tell you that it is a great invention, and it is a great invention to reward Ichkill. Mr. Baker. ”

Ye Kai paused as he spoke, and beckoned to Ah Shan, who was standing next to him with a plate, Ah Shan walked over with a plate, and Ye Kai violently lifted the silk cloth covering the plate.

"Oh my God!"

"Wow! O my God! ”

The Chinese and white people present screamed in amazement, and in the plate covered with silk cloth were heaped heavy gold bars that shimmered with a dark golden light.

Exactly ten, one is equivalent to eighteen taels of gold, ten is one hundred and eighty taels of gold, and it is about eight hundred and fifty pounds when converted into pounds.

That's a lot of money! You must know that now in London, a skilled industrial worker, working ten hours, is about seven or eight pounds a year.

The annual salary of the regular lobster soldiers of Great Britain is less than ten pounds, that is to say, the reward for this invention is the salary of eight hundred and fifty lobster soldiers for a year, which can be called a terrifying huge amount of money!

It's Kiil. Baker and his father's faces flushed with excitement, and Ye Kai decided to stimulate everyone present even more, he looked at the excited little boy.

"Yiqikill, if you can learn Chinese well and give up your English nationality, I can consider marrying my sister, beautiful and charming, Miss Ye Hao, who is just fourteen years old this year, to you, of course, now I can only get engaged!"
