CHAPTER XXIX

After Yuan Yun told Cao Chong about the importance of miniaturizing mechanical parts, this prodigy united with Luoyang's most powerful craftsmen and began to make unremitting efforts, and now this frame with Luoyang's smallest gas engine has appeared.

It's just that Cao Chong's smug look hasn't lasted for the time of the three pillars of incense, and the frame of this constantly trembling car has become a piece of scrap metal with a burst of black smoke gushing out.

Cao Chong's brows were furrowed extremely ugly, and after getting out of the car, he kicked the wheels hard, and then complained: "I was fine when I came, but I will be embarrassed at an important moment." ”

Yuan Yun was not surprised by this result, although Cao Chong could use the craftsman's delicate hands to reduce the proportion of parts of the gas engine, but the accuracy of the manual work is limited after all, and without precision, the quality and life will not be long.

"If Xiao Chong wants to go long on this road, he still has to think more about the machine tools I mentioned, and I have drawn a lot of drawings, as long as it is done step by step, sooner or later our basic industry will be upgraded, and then it will not be so difficult for you to want these delicate parts." When Yuan Yun spoke, he had already taken the horses brought by the guards.

Cao Chong watched Yuan Yun turn over and get on the horse, then sighed, and said: "It's simple for me to think, I always think that manpower is faster than those clumsy machine tools, and the construction period can be greatly shortened. ”

Yuan Yun didn't answer, until Cao Chong also got on horseback, then pointed to the location of the blacksmith's workshop and said: "Your frame is here first, our focus today is still on the machine gun, after all, there is going to be a war with the south, if we have this weapon, victory is within reach." ”

Cao Chong seemed to be more concerned about his gas frame, but now Yuan Yun was eager to see the machine gun, so he could only give up the paralyzed frame, and then rode away with Yuan Yun.

The road to the workshop usually walks for a maximum of half an hour, but today it is more than an hour, this is still because of horseback riding, if Cao Chong's frame is not broken, I am afraid it will be blocked in the middle of the road.

Nowadays, because there are more and more people using frames in Luoyang, Yuan Yun made a manpower traffic light very early, and today there are people in the city who come out to watch the parade, resulting in almost all the large and small streets being very congested.

When Yuan Yun finally landed on horseback under the service of Ma Jun, he already heard the unique continuous explosion sound of machine guns in his ears.

After hearing this voice, Yuan Yun only felt comfortable all over his body, as if he had heard the most beautiful melody in the world.

This Gatling gun, Yuan Yun felt that it would take one or two decades to really take shape from the beginning of the drawings, but he didn't expect that the development of Luoyang would be so rapid, and the people at the end of the Han Dynasty would be so diligent, which made many infrastructures unexpectedly grow, and because of this, this Gatling machine gun also appeared in the world many years in advance.

Several test craftsmen turned off the safety of the machine gun early, and then left ten meters away, and Cao Ang's guards immediately stepped forward and began to clear the field, until Yuan Yun came to the side of the machine gun, someone sent a long chain of bullets.

Looking at the Gatling in front of him, which was almost twice as big as he had in his impression, Yuan Yun frowned slightly and asked, "How much does this machine gun weigh?" ”

Pu Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately replied: "The self-weight is two hundred and fifty catties, and if you count the bracket, there are three hundred and twenty catties." ”

Yuan Yun exhaled when he heard this, although this weight is a bit cumbersome to carry, but fortunately, a special vehicle for transporting artillery was developed before, so it is generally acceptable.

After squatting, Yuan Yun can finally watch this big killer weapon up close, it can be seen from the details that the reason why it is so huge is that Pu Yuan and Ma Jun are smart enough, they use the delicate parts that are still relatively difficult to produce on the main components, and the other positions are still assembled with the existing coarse accessories, although this method increases the weight a lot, but it avoids a lot of waste, and the process is also satisfied, which can be said to give full play to the existing technology.

Da Da Da ......

When the bullets erupted from the chamber of the gun frantically, Yuan Yun only felt that his shoulders were shaking violently, but his mood was extremely comfortable, because the target placed on the opposite side was about to turn into powder at this moment.

"Lord, you need to take a break, this gun will overheat when fired for a long time, resulting in deformation of the barrel, which can easily cause jamming, so you need to cool it down." After Pu Yuan finished speaking, his face unconsciously showed sadness, and he seemed to have some guilt.

Looking at Pu Yuan with such an appearance, Yuan Yun immediately reacted, so he put down the machine gun and said: "The cooling system is too demanding, and if you don't have it at the moment, it's not good, after all, the lethality of this thing is there, make a few more and exchange them, and you will have plenty of time to cool down."

Now we have half of the artifact, some flaws are inevitable, too complete will be jealous of God, although there are some flaws, but you can use it with confidence. ”

Pu Yuan didn't care much about Yuan Yun's comfort in front of him, but after hearing that Tai Cheng would be jealous of God, he felt that it was very reasonable, after all, according to his understanding, these weapons were all weapons used by immortals, and ordinary people naturally couldn't compare with immortals, and some flaws were indeed right.

Yuan Yun didn't pay attention to Pu Yuan's emotions, but once again stared at the rough Gatling, this kind of weapon appeared in this era, it represents the doomed failure of the south, thinking of the history of China, the most humiliating is the period when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Beijing, tens of thousands of Qing army iron cavalry were buried in the hands of more than 1,000 British and French coalition troops, this is the result of the inequality of science and technology.

"How about the production of such machine guns?" After shooting, Yuan Yun finally asked the crucial question.

"Every ...... Five columns can be guaranteed per month, such as ...... If you give up the ...... Ordinary rifle manufacturing, full production of this machine gun, can be ...... It can produce 30 pieces per month. Ma Jun replied.

Yuan Yun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Pass on my order, all the workshops will be changed to make Gatling, and the more the quantity, the better." ”

After leaving the workshop, Yuan Yun was in a good mood, if the rifle had determined the foundation of the undefeated gunpowder army, then with this kind of primordial Gatling's gunpowder army, it was equivalent to having an undefeated golden body.

The biggest problem of the Gunpowder Army is that the number is too small, and after so many years of development, there are still only 60,000 soldiers in battle, and this includes 20,000 Hu cavalry.

Now that there is a machine gun like Gatling, the number of people is no longer a problem, Liu Bei claims to be 200,000 in the Yizhou Corps, and Liu Qi's Jingzhou Corps is also 200,000, in the face of so many enemies, Yuan Yun was not worried about it before, but now he can finally sleep well.

"Brother-in-law, why didn't Xiao Ai come back with you this time?" Cao Chong's sudden question interrupted Yuan Yun's train of thought.

Turning his head slightly to look at the sky in the southeast, Yuan Yun replied in a low voice: "Xiao Ai went to the south halfway through, and at present, they should have entered Yangzhou." ”

When Cao Chong heard Yuan Yun say this, he instantly became energetic, and then pulled the horse's head to Yuan Yun's side, and then asked carefully: "Xiao Ai is planning to deal with Sun Ce?" ”

Yuan Yun nodded slightly and said, "Some things should be let happen." ”

Cao Chong was puzzled by Yuan Yun's reply, and he couldn't even ask where to ask, he just watched Yuan Yun follow the horse blankly, and after a while, he overtook the front.

When he reacted, Cao Chong sped up his horse's speed, and before catching up with Yuan Yun, he suddenly saw a white shadow flashing in front of him, and Zhao Yun was standing in front of him with a silver armor and iron spear.

Yuan Yun pulled the horse's head slightly, and then glanced at the four horsemen behind Zhao Yun, all of whom were Hu warriors, and their fierce figures were really very different from the Han people.

Zhao Yun quickly turned over and dismounted, and the knight behind him also made a move, and several people came to Yuan Yun to sit down and salute at the end, and Zhao Yun spoke: "The lord is here to see the parade?" ”

Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "I just came from Pu Yuan and Ma Jun, so I'm going to go home." ”

Zhao Yun listened to Yuan Yun speak, and had already grabbed the horse's head, and then carefully waited for Yuan Yun to dismount.

Looking at Zhao Yun's previous decadent appearance now, he knew that after this product now had 20,000 subordinates, the whole person was glorious, and his expression and demeanor had changed very much.

"Lord, the sun is still high now, why don't you go to our cavalry camp."
