324 Secret Weapon

After Shang Wen came out of Xianyang Palace, he went to Wang Jian because he wanted to discuss the lifting of the ban on weapons and the organization of those scattered gunmen into a militia reserve.

Shang Wen hurriedly drove to the staff headquarters. Wang Qian's house.

"Lord Wei is here too." Shang Wen hurriedly entered the door and did not let anyone report it. Shang Wen didn't have that habit either.

"Oh. Mr. Qin didn't know when he was in such a hurry. Wei Yu said.

"Oh. I have just come from the king. It is to say a little about lifting the ban on weapons. Shang Wen said.

"The king has agreed to allow civilians to hold guns for self-defense along the line of garrisons to the west of Great Qin, the Yellow River to the north, and the Yellow River to the east." Shang Wen said simply.

"What?" Wei Yi and Wang Jian looked at Shang Wen in surprise and said.

"Nothing. Go in and talk. It's a bit inconvenient. With that, Shang Wen entered the house by himself.

"You're telling the truth." Wang Jian asked.

"Of course it's true. And it won't be long before I have to introduce laws and regulations to regulate this. Shang Wen briefly explained that civilians were allowed to possess firearms.

"And there's one more important thing. That's not to let civilians have guns in such a disorderly manner. Their resistance won't be strong there. Rather than so. I want to make them a militia. Or a reservist. It's also easy to manage. Meantime. We can redeploy them at any time and expand them into active forces. If they don't fight, they can also turn them into militias. Shang Wen said simply.

"Yes." Wei Yu nodded.

"I think this method will work. In this way, Daqin's martial style will be well inherited. Wang Jian said.

That's what I mean. The most important thing is that after the end of the war, it is necessary to effectively control these places. Troop movements are very troublesome. Wait until the transfer has passed. Our losses will be great. So. I need them to defend themselves. At the same time, you can also take the initiative to attack those stragglers. In this way, the army does not have to come forward. Shang Wen said some thoughts after the end of the war.

"I'll do it." Wang Jian said.

"I'm here to discuss the legal terms with you." Shang Wen directly told the two of them the purpose.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry. I'll show you an amazing weapon first. Wei Yu said mysteriously.

"Amazing weapons?" Shang Wen asked suspiciously.

"Let's go. Just take a look. Wei Yu said happily. In the past, Shang Wen had prepared weapons to show them. But now they finally saw Shang Wen's expression. It's natural to be happy.

The three of them drove to the secret test site of Wang's Arsenal. This is where the Wong Arsenal was developed.

"What weapon?" Shangwen asked.

Wang Jian smiled slightly. As he spoke, he lifted the curtain on a gun carriage.

Shang Wen turned his head and saw what was on the gun mount. Oh, my God. Is this a time-traveling Gatling gun?

What Shangwen saw was the appearance of the Gatling machine gun, but the difference was that this machine gun was a nine-barreled one. The bomb feeding method turned out to be a chain feed. Ahead of the curve. Shang Wen was a little stunned.

"So?" Wang Jian happily watched Shang Wen look up and down to check the nine-barreled machine gun.

"Pretty." Shang Wen said casually.

"How can the bullet be a paper shell." Shang Wen said puzzled.

"Oh. This bullet is easy to produce. Wei Yu explained. This bullet is also the product he secretly developed. This type of bullet uses a paper shell as a cartridge and a primer with an initiation at the bottom.

"We have spent a lot of energy and money on such a gun." The two talked happily. It turned out that the weapon developed by Wang Jian and Wei Yi was this kind of multi-barreled machine gun. That wasn't the case at first. The arrangement of the barrels began in a straight line. Reloading was also the traditional reloading method at the beginning.

The reason for such a product was to deal with cavalry. At the time of the last exercise. They found a problem. That's when the platoon guns fired. The density of shooting fire is very difficult to master. In addition, the effect of scattered shells used by artillery at close range is not obvious. Only thirty percent of shrapnel hit the target. In this way, it is difficult to effectively kill the opponent.

There also appears to be a transitional weapon between the musket and the artillery. Wang Jian had such an idea when he watched the exercise. So he quickly told Wei Yi about this idea. Wei Yu is studying Shang Wen's thunder mercury. Two families and one total. Begin to develop a brand new weapon to surprise Shangwen.

Tested and tested. The barrel of the gun has changed from the original way of arranging guns to shooting like a revolver. However, the reloading problem is still not solved. The method used in the beginning was to use an iron plate. Insert the bullet in it beforehand. After shooting one board, plug in the other board. But this design is still not ideal. Wang Jian was also very dissatisfied. The main thing is that the shooting operation is very complicated. There is a very important issue that needs to be completed. That's lockout. Lock but not close. Closed but not locked. Such modern requirements are still not satisfied. So they started to work on it.

The progress of Wei Yi's bullets made Wang Qian's machine gun enter another kind of rapid fire ranks. The bullet was very similar to the first post-loaded cartridge in Germany. That is, already close to the model of modern bullets. The gap is just one step away.

Such bullets appeared. Wang Jian can be asked to consider using a new bullet to complete the design. The barrel began to rotate from its original fixation. In the process of rotation, the locking is completed by mechanical principles. After the design is completed. The unshelling of the bullet is completed after passing through the unshelling device.

On the contrary, the way of feeding bombs is a bit ahead of its time. Directly using iron sheet chain feeding.

"Can I give it a try?" Shang Wen said.

Wang Jian signaled yes.

"Smack." Shang Wen turned the shaker. Machine guns began to fire. But soon a problem arose. After continuous firing of paper shell bullets. Or because of the barrel problem. In short, it cannot be unchecked. When after continuous shooting. This barrel is stuffed with bullets. It's very dangerous. If a bullet fires. There is a high probability that there will be a blow up. This is for a high-speed fire weapon like a machine gun. It's deadly.

"The problem has arisen." Shang Wen disassembled the barrel and said.

"The bullet problem." Shang Wen pointed to the plugged barrel and said.

"The paper-shelled bullets are too soft." Shang Wen said.

"And after the lock-up. All the pressure is concentrated in the paper shell. This weapon is a high-speed firing weapon. Shoot at high speed like this. There is a good chance that there will be a bombing. Shang Wen said.

"I suggest that the cartridge be changed to a copper one. Our stamping machines are fully capable of completing the bullet production process. Shang Wen said.
