That important member also made a request for arms, and their Lu family wanted at least 200 five-wheeled pistols, 300 double-barreled short firearms, and their corresponding accessories, as well as 2,000 grenades.

In terms of price, you can ask for whatever you want.

He said complimentarily: "When I heard that the owner of Zhang Island had made a new firearm, he was very appreciative of it, and specially sent a thousand tons of lead ------."

In that time, the value of tin and lead far exceeded that of copper, but in this world, on the contrary, due to the perennial purchase of lead by Liuqiu Island, the price of lead has increased a little, and it can barely get close to the price of copper.

As for the price of tin, it is too crooked, less than half of lead!

You must know that in that time and space, tin is more than ten times that of copper------ Zhang Islander, who thinks that he has mastered the tin resources in the world, has to exchange tin for lead and copper in the hands of others, gritting his teeth and admitting the loss.

Fortunately, Australia has the highest-grade and best-grade lead-zinc ore in this time and space, and I believe that it will soon be able to meet his needs.

Zhang understood that a local warlord like them might have to secretly associate with him for fear of being tabooed by the Great Song government, and because it was convenient to buy weapons and arms privately.

It seems that the Lu military group is going to fight for their so-called oil wells.

It is indeed worth working hard there, if you want coal and coal, you want oil and oil, and you want cotton fields to develop cotton fields, if you can solve the problems of safety and transportation, it will be the millennium plan of the Lu military group!

The owner of Zhang Island readily agreed to his request, and so far, the two sides have exchanged views with the help of the Han River and the Yangtze River linkage transportation, and the relationship has been very good.

Moreover, the new firearms processing factory set up by Wang Defa's family has begun to form large-scale production, which can fully meet the needs of the other party.

The owner of Zhang Island also wanted to arrange for him to play in the Badao River for a few days, but the guy refused, saying that the owner of the family was in a hurry and had to go back quickly.

He hurried to the Liuqiu Primary, Middle and Technical Schools, visited the civilian children of the Lu family who were studying there, gave a few words of encouragement, and after giving a large reward according to his grades, he hurried back with the arms and arms.

God knows what kind of bloody storm they can set off in that place in Yanzhou after giving them that batch of arms.

The batch of munitions had been brought directly from the armory, and was intended to be rationed to the Army and Coast Guard, but it was not too late for them to wait another ten or twenty days.

The airtightness of the five-wheeled pistol is not good, the firing range is short, and Wang Defa's family can only add propellants, so every time he shoots, the pistol is like a balloon full of white smoke bursting in his hand, and a large cloud of smoke will appear.

But judging from the feedback from the army and navy, everyone thinks it is very good, it is light and easy to carry, and it is never afraid of blind fire, and there is no need to remove lead in dozens of bullets!

Can a simple copper plating technique solve the problem of lead bullets hanging lead in the barrel?

Wang Defa's family thinks that it is not possible, because the barrel of the five-wheeled pistol is short, and the lead bullet will not be too lead, and there will still be problems when replaced with a long gun, but the effect is a little better than that without copper plating.

Wang Defa's family has been busy finalizing the projected Type 80 rifles and artillery recently------ and now even the Goryeo and Japan kingdoms can make arquebuses and cast blue cannon artillery, and he must ensure that the Liuqiu army has weapons that exceed the two generations difference between them!

In fact, the processing of five-wheel pistol bullets was a rehearsal, mainly for the continuous processing of straight-barreled copper bullets and fully loaded metal bullets with tail bottom and bottom flame.

This kind of primer with the bottom edge of the tail can increase the airtightness of the bullet fired in the chamber, which can be said to add another layer of airtight protection to the original magazine.

The celluloid bullets of the big bolt guns used by the Liuqiu army are just scum compared to it.

Considering the practicality and the habits of the players, the Type 80 rifle is still loaded with a large bolt, but the internal structure of the gun compartment is no longer the same.

First of all, a hook was added to the bolt firing pin, which was a shelling device for increasing the bolt, and secondly, a vent channel was also set up in the gun compartment, which could dredge the gas to a certain extent and prevent danger.

Since then, the rifles or artillery of the Liuqiu army have been firing a puff of white smoke instead of a cloud of smoke.

Compared with the large bolt gun, in addition to the same position of the gun, the Type 80 rifle is also equipped with a more precise gauge.

The prototype 80 rifle has a total length of 130 cm, a barrel length of 75 cm, a weight of about 4.2 kg, and a caliber of 10 mm like a five-wheeled pistol, and has been verified to have a muzzle velocity of about 400 m/s and an effective range of up to 500 meters!

Taking into account the needs of actual combat, its bayonet was lengthened to forty centimeters, and the cold light was shining, and it could be used as a short sword when unloaded!

After looking at the 80-style gun, Zhang Island Master smiled and said, "Ah, why do you have such a long bayonet!" ”

Wang Defa's family also laughed and said: "Haha, it was those gunsmiths who strongly requested that it be lengthened------ saying that with our grinding machine technology, it will scare the Tatar robbers to death!" ”

Wang Defa's family respects their cold weapon thinking, of course, this is also related to the good quality of their current steel.

Then the issue of cost was raised.

The cost of processing arquebuses at the Liuqiu Island Gun Factory was only 6 kan, the Great Song Dynasty cost 30 kan, the Goryeo Kingdom and Japan were said to be about 80 kan------, but the Tatar bandit groups did not know about it, because they were not in the habit of paying craftsmen.

The cost gap here is mainly reflected in the processing technology, because the arquebus does not require much steel.

However, the cost of the Type 80 rifle is much higher.

Only in the machining technology requirements inside the gun compartment, there are many kinds of drilling, milling, cutting and grinding, which not only have requirements for machine tools and knives, but also have high requirements for technicians.

There are also all-metal bullets, not counting the consumables of the process, just the copper of each bullet costs two pennies------ but fortunately it can be charged.

Wang Defa's family handed Zhang Daozhu a list, on which all the cost items were written.

The total cost of each Type 80 rifle plus 50 rounds of ammunition adds up to 200 bills!

O my gods------

Wang Defa said leisurely: "Here only calculate the processing cost of processing hardwood butts, not counting the hardwood itself------ and some leather accessories are not counted, if you add some individual equipment, I estimate that three hundred yuan can be used." ”

Just one individual armor equipment is so much, plus their salaries------ the envisioned 100,000 male soldiers will definitely not be able to raise!

The two men discussed some ways to reduce costs, and found that it was of little use, unless they were still engaged in the arms business, and let others help them raise soldiers, or turn 100,000 male soldiers into 10,000 elite soldiers------ they never thought of reducing the salary of craftsmen to save costs, and the technicians who could participate in the processing were their treasures.

If you don't give them a high salary, what will the owner of Zhang Island do to cultivate the spirit of a great craftsman!?

The installation of the Type 80 artillery also started with artillery shells------
