2284 Li Xue's hand cannon
"It's just an impossibility. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info How could we possibly create such a powerful weapon in such a short time. No way. A weapon designer at Lee's Arsenal shook his head constantly. For the RFP of the Ministry of Defense, they think that it is too vague and too demanding, and it is not a good thing for them.
"I don't care about these, anyway, as long as it's a weapon, a high-powered weapon, it's easy to carry, anyway, it doesn't say what kind of weapon it is, it's a gun, it's a cannon, whatever you want, anyway, there are many such weapons. As long as you can produce it, that's it. For the rest, we don't care about that at all. The head of weapons design said. The Director doesn't come from a weapons designer's background, he's just a managerial person. He relied on his graduation degree to do such a position, and he thought that the weapons were very simple, as long as they were designed to meet the requirements.
"Talent from the Ministry of Defense." The weapons designers grumbled.
"It's just that they always make some fucking undesirable demands." A chubby weapons designer scoffed.
"What the hell could you ask for?" One of the weapons designers joked.
"Hehehe." Everyone else laughed. And the weapons director looked at the weapon designers angrily. Because their supervisors are still given to young people. The woman has not been touched, and he has never been seen chasing a woman when he goes to work, so many men laugh at him. A man who has not touched a woman is not called a man. Use this weapon designer to mock each other.
"Alright. You all have to think about this matter, this is very beneficial to the Qin army's operations, the Qin army has asked for such weapons in such a short period of time, I think, everyone is working hard. Shoot such a powerful weapon. The weapons supervisor said solemnly.
"Design, it meets the fucking requirements." Weapons designers said. The weapons director looked at the other weapon designers solemnly, but they simply ignored each other.
"That, Director." At that moment, an assistant to the weapons designer came over and whispered.
"What's the matter?" The director asked angrily. Because he was in a very bad mood.
"This, I think, ask, this time the design is to ask for the design of artillery. Or is it a machine gun, a firearm-like weapon? Assistant Li Xue asked in a low voice.
"Didn't you look at the design requirements? A very powerful weapon, as long as it is powerful, whether it is a machine gun or an artillery, as long as it is powerful enough. And the cost is extremely cheap, suitable for large-scale manufacturing. Do you understand? The weapons director yelled loudly.
"Yes." Li Xue nodded helplessly. Li Xue left helplessly. He is not from Qin, he is Korean, but his whole family came to Qin. He also has no school status, and his parents both work in the Qin State factory, and because they are not from the Qin State, their family's living conditions are not very good. He went from apprentice to assistant, but unfortunately the salary still didn't change his family's situation. Because immigrants from the Qin State had to pay taxes. If you immigrate to other Qin states, you may not pay taxes, but will be given a certain amount of land. However, in Guanzhong, in order to restrict more immigrants from staying in Guanzhong, the Qin people adopted taxation and restrictions, even in the household registration, and the household registration of Li Xue's family was only an investigational household registration. In other words, they are not Qin people for the time being, at most they are foreigners living here. Li Xue was able to find such a job. It's all because the salary I get is less than half of that of others.
"Li Xue. You come here. He followed the weapon designer Li Cannon. Li Pao is a changed name. What it turned out to be called, no one knows. But they knew that Li Pao's master of making cannons, all his research was on cannons.
"Master." Li Xue walked over and asked.
"How's your research going. Just your little artillery. The one with a pull ring. Li Pao asked.
"Oh. That hand cannon. Li Xue shook his body and said.
"That, not yet, I'll give it a try, the range is only nearly two hundred steps, and this distance can't be increased anymore. The power is ok. Li Xue reported. Li Xue's research is a kind of reduced, improved hand cannon, which is the grenadier of later generations. The principle was improved with the help of mortars.
"The range is still not ideal." Li Pao shook his head and said.
"Every weapon designer has the right to meet directly with the chairman five times." Li Pao said to Li Xue.
"Master." Li Pao is an apprentice brought in by Li Xue.
"I know your family is not in a good situation. Even though I give you a bonus, you can't solve this problem at all, and if your design can get into Qin Jun's sight, I think, he can change your situation. These are what you get on your own. Li Pao said.
"Master." Li Xue looked at his master gratefully.
"Don't thank me, it's you kid who has the ability. I watched the tender this time. The weapon requirements are very vague, maybe your weapons can meet such needs, and the Qin army was equipped with a large number of mortars and direct-fire artillery. You will definitely not need something like you, but you insist, in this case, this is a very good, very powerful weapon, you follow me, the master will use this opportunity, maybe the master can still be stained with your light. Li Pao said with a smile.
"Master, me." Li Xue said gratefully.
"Don't tell me if you're grateful. This time I must win the bid. If you win the bid, just invite me to drink. Your master is good at this sip, I have to talk about the front, it's not good wine, I don't drink it. Li Pao said with a smile.
"Definitely, definitely." Li Xue said excitedly.
Li Xue followed Li Pao to learn to design artillery. Li Xue, who didn't know anything, learned everything from Li Pao, and slowly mastered some basic things of artillery design, and at the same time, he was able to try to make some unique designs of his own, and this grenadier was a small artillery that he improved according to the principle of mortar. However, because of the first design, he lacked the experience of actual needs on the battlefield, so such a cannon was considered the most useless thing in the design of the Qin army, not only with a short range. Comparatively. At the same time, it is not powerful enough, because it is impossible to knock out the cover. Therefore, many people are not optimistic about him. However, he considers it his first work, so he wants to tap into the potential. But what he didn't expect was that the needs of the Qin army changed with the changes in the battlefield environment and conditions, which brought an opportunity for his weapon to be reborn.
