In Lin Ziran's order for the military ships of the Orr Kingdom, many things are extremely expensive, and the only thing that is relatively cheap is the second-hand Fuyuan rifle.

This thing is a second-hand thing that has been retired and sealed in the Southern Navy, not only that, but they were originally modified from the Fuyuan musket before, and the follow-up service life is actually not high, so the price of this thing is twenty-five Hengyuan, which is not even much more expensive than an ordinary smoothbore gun.

But the newly produced Luo'an III rifle, this thing is expensive, 65 Hengyuan one.

In fact, even if the gun is forgotten, the more expensive thing is the bullet, and the all-metal bullet costs 150 Hengyuan for 1,000 rounds.

In terms of army artillery, the price of a 75-mm howitzer is 8,500 Heng Yuan, the price of a 75 mm field gun directly exceeds 10,000 Heng Yuan, the price of a 100 mm field gun directly reaches 24,000 Heng Yuan, and the price of a 150 mm howitzer reaches 50,000 Heng Yuan.

I have to say that when Lin Ziran sold the ordnance, the expensive price was directly sold at several times the cost.

The Southern Navy purchased 75 mm howitzers by itself, and it was only more than 2,000 Hengyuan for each one, and more than 8,000 for takeaways.

However, you should not be too expensive at this price, you must know that the export trade of ordnance has never been priced by the cost of production.

When Shao Bing sold a 120-millimeter bronze smoothbore gun to the outside world, he dared to buy more than 2,000 Hengyuan, and later when he sold a 100-mm front-loading rifled gun, he directly offered a price of tens of thousands.

This is a broken thing, Shao Bing dares to buy Wan Hengyuan, Lin Ziran thinks that he is buying a breech-loading rifled weapon, why buy a big tens of millions of dollars? Why is it so expensive to buy?

You want to say that those ordinary smoothbore guns can be bought for a few hundred constant yuan now, but you just add a rifling and can be reloaded at the tail, why is it so expensive?

You have to say that the smoothbore gun is cheap, but you go to buy it and use it, and people won't stop you!

Because of the improvement of performance and technical requirements, Fuyuan Machinery Factory now produces a 75-mm field gun by itself, and the cost is nearly 1,000 Hengyuan.

If you want to say a few hundred Hengyuan, the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau will not even sell you a gun carriage wheel.

The emergence of breech-loading rifled weapons has brought not only an improvement in performance, but also a technological monopoly.

In the early decades, many small workshop-style arsenals were able to manufacture their own smoothbore guns, the big deal was that the output was the first point, and the cost was a little higher, but even pure manual production could be produced.

However, in the last decade, when muskets began to use steel barrels, fire caps were used, and maroon gunpowder was used, the requirements for production technology were very high, and it was difficult for ordinary small workshops to keep up with the pace, so those medium and large professional arsenals could produce them in large quantities.

And now, after entering the breech-loading rifled weapons, it is necessary to those large arsenals with advanced technology and many supporting factories such as steel and chemistry to be able to keep up with this pace.

Now the rear-loading guns of the Southern Navy are no secret, and they have been known to outsiders since last year, but even if they know about these rear-loading rifled weapons, there are only a handful of arsenals that can be copied and produced on a large scale.

There were no more than five arsenals capable of mass-producing the Luo'an III rifle in the Daheng Empire, and except for the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, the other four were either in Jingzhou or in the hands of other great feudal towns.

None of them are in the surrounding states of Nanhai Prefecture, otherwise they would have copied them on a large scale.

And there are even fewer artillery factories capable of mass-producing rear-loading artillery, and there are only three that have survived in the Daheng Empire.

One is Fuyuan Machinery Bureau, one is Jingzhou Machinery Bureau, and one is Songzhou Machinery Bureau.

In addition to these three major machine bureaus, even if other artillery factories can imitate production, the output will be very small, just like the previous Luo'an Arsenal, which produces dozens of guns a year, and the quality is not good.

And it is worth noting that even if the above-mentioned arsenals that can mass-produce breeched weapons on a large scale, their production capacity is actually not large, because most of them are mainly for their own use, and the actual scale is not much.

The improvement of technology and the further reduction of production have also led to the further scarcity of advanced weapons, which has led to the further increase in the price of ordnance, which is an inevitability.

In other words, this is also the particularity of the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, and the Nanhai Shipyard, which led to their sufficient production for export.

If you only look at the three arsenals themselves, you will find that their employees together are only tens of thousands, which seems to be similar to other large arsenals.

But you have to know that these two arsenals are very pure arsenals, and there are not many ancillary factories that other large arsenals have, such as steel mills, gunpowder factories, lumber mills, etc., which belong to the Jingzhou Machinery Bureau.

But in Luohai City, these are independent factories.

The Luohai Iron and Steel Plant alone, which supplies large quantities of steel to the military industry as well as civilian industries, employs more than 10,000 people......

So don't look at the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory, Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, and Nanhai Shipyard with a total of only tens of thousands of employees, but in fact, these three arsenals provide all kinds of parts and components, and there are hundreds of factories for raw materials!

You're welcome, almost the entire industrial system of Luohai City is serving these two arsenals and one shipyard.

When he first moved into Luohai City last year, Lin Ziran knew that the entire Luohai City was a huge arsenal!

Such a huge arsenal system can certainly allow the South Korean Navy to quickly obtain a large number of weapons and ammunition, but it is also extremely difficult to maintain their normal operation, at least not by relying on the South Korean Navy's own orders.

At this stage, it is necessary to rely on external orders to ensure that Luo Haicheng's machinery continues to run and ensure the employment of workers.

This is of course very difficult, but at the same time, it also brings another advantage, that is, in a short period of time, at least a year and a half or even longer, it is estimated that only Lin Ziran's arsenal in the world can provide a large number of rear-loading rifled weapons to the outside world.

And this will bring huge profits to Lin Ziran.

After the huge order of 30 million was signed, Lin Ziran attached great importance to it and personally explained to the person in charge of military production, work hard, don't make any mistakes, otherwise you won't be able to deliver the goods at that time, and it will be a self-smashing signboard.
