Everyone immediately opened the package, and after carefully examining these guns with great interest, Luo Zhengyi told Gu Jin that this gun is a little expensive, but no matter how expensive it is, it is worth it, and the reason why we ask you to purchase this gun is mainly because we plan to use this gun for experimental modification, note that this will be the first time we will produce weapons in the new world.

The crowd was very interested and immediately listened quietly.

So Boss Luo went on to say that the Supreme Executive Committee put forward a request to our industrial group a few days ago: in view of the current situation, I hope that we will make a usable firearm to equip our armed forces as soon as possible, even if it is simple, the requirements are not high, mainly more advanced than this firearm.

Boss Luo said that Sun Lao and several other old people are indeed more concerned about the issue of weapon production, and as early as after signing the bonded area agreement with Pimont on the Nicole, Sun Lao and they are asking us for weapon production.

And it's been a little tight lately.

Sun Lao said that now he is a little worried about Hou Xianglin's side, after all, a war has just been quelled there, and the situation has not been completely stabilized, although Xiao Hou can get some manpower support with the help of Pimont and the Duchess, and he can probably form an escort team or something, but obviously he urgently needs a batch of weapons that can be used to equip the escort team, so as to effectively maintain the order of the bonded area.

Therefore, I am afraid that we will not be able to carry out weapons research and development step by step, and at present we need to hurry up to develop a relatively advanced, and can be mass-produced under the existing conditions, and strive to mass produce as soon as possible.

To this end, a few days ago, several key members of the Industrial Development and Scientific Research Committee conducted several joint discussions, and finally came up with an innovative research and development plan: using the existing firearms in the new world to transform and produce a breech-loading rifled flintlock pistol with fixed ammunition.

The Dutch flintlock pistols are a key part of the programme.

However, after listening to Boss Luo's explanation, a group of military fans present were still a little confused for a while, and they said that there were indeed rear-loading flintlock pistols in history, but it seems that there is no fixed ammunition, right? Even if there are fixed ammunition, it doesn't seem to have flintlock rifles, right? Is there a precedent for combining these three?

In the face of everyone's questions, Boss Luo responded with a smile that there may or may not be a precedent or something, but it doesn't matter, what matters is the actual effect.

What's more, we have crossed, for the experience of the ancestors, both to inherit and develop, especially the flint, after the assembly and rifling of the three elements, although there is no large-scale use of history together, it is also because the order of historical development is just staggered, we are now pioneering inheritance, a little innovation is not impossible.

Of course, this program does not fully follow or copy the old world firearms research and development process, but innovation, integration, here I want to emphasize that you should not be too superstitious about the historical development process of firearms, let alone too superstitious about the ancient ancestors, thinking that the ancestors did this, we must also follow, in a word, please believe in science, believe in yourself, do not underestimate our ability to innovate!

Boss Luo's words made Ren Ke** and them emotional, and they all said that Boss Luo's words were really encouraging, and we really shouldn't be presumptuous......

Immediately, everyone immediately shifted their attention to the specific details of the transformation, and asked Boss Luo to introduce the transformation plan.

So Boss Luo picked up a flintlock pistol as a reference sample, and introduced to you that there are several key innovations here, one is to combine the fixed ammunition and the flintlock firing device, the second is to rifle the barrel of this flintlock pistol, and the third is Mr. Zhao They are responsible for manufacturing a combined ammunition that strengthens the black ** paper shell or cloth shell.

With these three points, this Dutch flintlock pistol immediately has epoch-making innovative significance, and the most important thing is that the program is indeed practical and feasible for our existing labor and technical conditions.

Luo Laoba further explained that in fact, according to our current industrial capacity, it is possible to produce single-shot bolt-action rifles of the late nineteenth century in the old world in one step, but we do not dare to do so until the fatal problem of industrial equipment wear and tear is solved.

In addition, there are constraints on raw materials, so we have come up with a transitional solution - using the existing firearms in the world to retrofit.

There are many advantages to this, first of all, the process conditions for the transformation of firearms are easy to have, the technical requirements are not high, and the raw materials are relatively easy to obtain.

Because individual firearms – especially arquebuses – were already widely used in this era, and flintlock muskets were introduced several years ago and equipped with a small number of European armies, these firearms were available on a large scale through a variety of sources.

Here's what we planned: the first step was to add a rear-loading rotary pistol tether firing device to the front-loading flintlock pistol, which could be done with our second-generation lathes, and of course, for the first modified guns, we would definitely use the old world equipment in the cave.

Then we rifled the barrel of this flintlock pistol, and we already have the Iowa rifle, which is manual, and all the process conditions can be solved with the resources of the new world, except for the knives that are used in the old world for a short time.

The above two steps are responsible for the mechanical group, and the chemical team is responsible for the black ** bullets that are installed in the case.

Then Mr. Zhao also said on the spot, this kind of black ** is not an ordinary black **, but a "strengthened black**", about the production of ordinary black **, we have no problem in technology and resources, saltpeter and sulfur we have obtained a lot through procurement, charcoal can be burned by itself, but the reason why our black ** is named "strengthened" is because we add a mixture of sulfate and nitrate in it, This chemical feedstock is one of the by-products of the pyrite boiling furnace and coal dry distillation line that have recently been successfully put into trial production.

Mr. Zhao then emphasized that if this series of transformations is successful, we will go one step further and try to buy some arquebuses of this era for similar transformations, arquebuses are easier to obtain, but the disadvantage is that the quality of the barrel is unreliable, and it needs to be selected and strengthened, and the reason why the first batch of transformations want this Dutch flintlock pistol is because its barrel is the best quality in this era, so for the safety and reliability of firearms, this is also the reason why our first batch of modified firearms use Dutch flintlock pistols.

Boss Luo listened and nodded next to him and explained, and this plan does not have high requirements for machining, mainly to be able to use the barrel of flintlock pistol and arquebus, after all, the barrel is a bit time-consuming and laborious for us to make ourselves, and there is no condition for mass production by ourselves.

Of course, in time, we will be able to make our own barrels, but by that time, our second-generation guns should be born.

In short, if the Dutch flintlock is successful, we will have the first generation of standard weapons, although this weapon is a single-shot reload, but we estimate that it should be able to greatly surpass this era in terms of reliability, accuracy and firing speed and other performance indicators.

After all, the procedure of eliminating the passage bar and the pre-loading ** and the projectile, coupled with the substantial improvement of the rifling on the shooting accuracy, although the current processing accuracy is not ideal, and the bullet can not be missed, but this weapon is a very unnatural individual weapon from any point of view.

Next, Boss Luo also proposed, next time you go to sea, I hope you can find a way to buy some ordinary arquebuses, and the mechanical team plans to transform them, add a runner firing device to this handcuff, and also ripen the barrel, so that it can shoot bullets like ****. Or you can use a simple manual single-shot reload, of course, the prerequisite is that the chemical team makes a joint ammunition.

An important reason for choosing a handcuff for retrofitting is that the quality of the barrel of a handcuff in this era is generally higher than that of a long-barreled firearm, so we can basically use it for modification with confidence.

Boss Luo further explained that in fact, the kind of revolver fired weapon mentioned by the square has appeared in Europe at present, and the time before and after should not exceed twenty or thirty years, but because of the limitation of processing capacity, the reliability of this kind of revolver firing handcuff is extremely poor, and because it is purely handmade, the cost is very high and extremely rare, and the single-shot hand-loaded hand-loaded hand-loaded hand-fired hand-loaded hand-fired hand-loaded hand-fired
