With the completion of the textile mill and the training of female workers, the Yuanhe Industrial Zone has become even busier. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thermal power plants and light bulb factories are under construction, as long as the construction is completed and put into use, the Yuanhe Industrial Zone will completely eliminate all kinds of oil lamps and candles, and even the factories can start at night, in addition, after the construction of the thermal power plant, Yan Xueyi's micro nuclear power device can also be recycled, this kind of thing is too dangerous to put in the outside world.

Before the invention of the electric light, the common lighting tools used were candles, kerosene lamps or gas lamps. Because it burns kerosene or gas, it has a strong black smoke and a pungent odor, and it is very inconvenient to add fuel and scrub the lampshade frequently. What's more, this kind of lamp can easily cause fires and cause serious disasters.

As early as 1854, the light bulb has been invented, but unfortunately it was not practical, until 1879 Edison made the first practical light bulb, and the tungsten light bulb will not appear until 1906, now the light bulb factory in the Yuanhe Industrial Zone is completed to produce tungsten light bulbs, a large number of tungsten light bulbs will light up the sky of the entire Yuanhe Industrial Zone in the dark night.

Thermal power plants and light bulb factories are important, but for Yan Xueyi, it is more important for the arsenal to make rifles.

On April 18, 1877, under the leadership of several simulated robots, the arsenal finally produced the first qualified rifle, which was named the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle by Yan Xueyi.

The prototype of the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle is the Mauser 98K, the Mauser rifle is a well-known existence, especially the Mauser 98K is the standard equipment of the German army in World War II, the Mauser 98K made a total of 14.5 million, which is one of the rifles produced in the largest number during World War II, and the official rifle is also the Mauser 98K predecessor Mauser standard model.

The Mauser 98K is a 7.92 mm caliber, while the Chung Hwa Type 1 rifle that has already been produced has been changed to a 7 mm caliber. Generally speaking, the caliber of the rifle is large, the lethality also increases, and the range also increases, but the corresponding recoil, the mass of the gun and the bullet are larger, the Mauser 98K is designed according to the European body shape, not very in line with the use of Chinese, so the Chinese Type 1 rifle is based on the Mauser 98K to make some changes, the rifle caliber is reduced to 7 mm, which also makes the China Type 1 rifle less powerful and effective range than the Mauser 98K.

However, the reduction of effective range does not have much of a problem with the use of rifles, after all, the soldier's naked eye visual distance can reach a maximum of 500 meters, and the effective range of 800 meters of Mauser 98K is not very useful, unless it is equipped with a scope to be used as a sniper rifle, as for the power, the process of the bullet can be improved to solve this problem in the future.

In addition, the reduction of rifle caliber also increases the amount of ammunition carried by soldiers, and small-caliber guns are lighter, have less recoil, and are more in line with the Chinese body type.

In fact, Yan Xueyi originally considered that the first rifle was to use the Russian Mosin-Nagant rifle, which was easy to produce and simple and reliable compared with the rifles of the same era, but on second thought, the Mosin-Nagant rifle had a more complex bolt design, its design was rough and outdated, and the overall operation feeling was clumsier than that of the rifles of the same era, so Yan Xueyi gave up the Mosin-Nagant rifle and used the more famous Mauser rifle.

Directly took out the design drawing of Mauser 98K, modified and tested by the quantum computer, and finally got the design drawing of the Zhonghua 1 rifle, and then handed it over to the arsenal for trial manufacturing, and it took nearly a month before and after to manufacture the first qualified Zhonghua 1 rifle, and it is expected that it will take some time to mass-produce the Zhonghua 1 rifle.

Anyway, the qualified rifle has been manufactured, Yan Xueyi personally took the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle and tested it a few times, I didn't feel much, although Yan Xueyi was still a teenager, but as an evolutionary, his physical fitness has far surpassed that of an adult, and it is no big problem to operate the rifle.

The Zhonghua Type 1 rifle has been manufactured, but Yan Xueyi does not plan to equip the escort team in a short period of time, after all, the number is too small, and the equipment does not have much effect, at least wait until the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle can be mass-produced and then gradually equip the escort team, and now Yan Xueyi's requirement for the arsenal is to increase the production of the Zhonghua Type 1 rifle as much as possible, at least 200 Zhonghua Type 1 rifles must be produced every month, and 100,000 bullets will be produced every month, so that he can barely start equipping the escort team, otherwise the rifle is not enough bullets and not enough, How to equip the convoy.

In addition, it is necessary to manufacture a special rifle with an optical scope for snipers, sniper rifles require higher accuracy and range, and they must also be equipped with optical sights, which makes sniper rifles more complex than ordinary rifles to manufacture, expensive to build, and lower in production, of course, Yan Xueyi does not need everyone in the escort team to become snipers and equip sniper rifles, as long as some sharpshooters are equipped with sniper rifles.

The arsenal continued to increase investment, increased the number of workers, built new rifle factories and bullet factories, and the arsenal became the second most important factory after the steel plant, and the third was the machine tool factory.

The rifle already existed, and when the rifle was mass-produced and equipped with the escort team, Yan Xueyi had resistance to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, after all, at this time, Western countries were only equipped with "singles one" rifles, which were far from catching up with the advanced Chinese Type 1 rifles, and the Manchu army was not even equipped with "singles one" rifles.

However, rifles alone are not enough, heavy machine guns and cannons are also required.

There were a lot of Manchu cavalry troops, and relying solely on troops equipped with rifles could not completely block the cavalry charge, heavy machine guns were the big killers, and a few heavy machine guns could block the cavalry charge, and the bullet storm formed a trench.

There are also artillery is also necessary, the enemy has artillery, we have no artillery can only be beaten, this is not possible, advanced artillery and heavy artillery can not be manufactured in a short time, then make small-caliber mortars first, although the power is small, but it is enough to deal with the backward Manchu army, the difficulty of mortar manufacturing is not great, and it is even simpler than a rifle, but it is not possible to have a cannon without a gun, so the rifle is manufactured first, and then the mortar can be manufactured, maybe it will not take half a month, The first mortar will appear in front of Yan Xueyi's eyes.

Zhonghua Type 1 rifles, mortars, and heavy machine guns, or it won't be long before Yan Xueyi confronts the Manchus head-on.
