Guo Ye stayed in Jinan for three days, in addition to accompanying his wife and children, and then inspecting the arsenal and Qilu Bank, now Gatling has come to the arsenal with his assistants, and the machinery and equipment purchased by Guo Ye from the United States are constantly transported from the sea.

In the large building of the arsenal.

Guo Ye smiled at Gatling: "Mr. Gatling, all the production equipment and research equipment you need now, I have already purchased them for you in the United States at one time, and in the next half a month, all the instruments and equipment and related technical personnel will arrive in Jinan, and it is up to you whether you can produce a heavy machine gun with stable and reliable performance." ”

Gatling nodded and said in a deep voice: "General Guo, since we have signed the agreement, we will definitely take out the finished works in accordance with the agreement, which is our minimum professional ethics." ”

Guo Ye smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Gatling, what I appreciate most is the contract spirit of the Americans, I also believe that you can definitely succeed, I will provide you with the most superior research environment, not only the entire arsenal, but also the Qilu Bank behind the arsenal and the Shandong government will fully support you, I want to fully mass produce heavy machine guns within a year, and then enter the European and American markets!" ”

"No problem, now my heavy machine gun technology is very mature, whether in Europe or in the United States, there are no competitors, once we enter the global arms market, we can completely sweep the whole world, General Guo, it will create huge profits for us!"

Gatlin said confidently.

However, Gatling has a self-confidence, there are no competitors at all, and the Gatling heavy machine gun has obtained relevant technical patents in the United States, even if other countries want to develop heavy machine guns, they will be several years behind Gatling, and they will also face the technical barriers of patents, Gatling and future competitors are no longer on the same starting line.

"However, Mr. Gatling, I have discussed with you that the Gatling gun has its inherent flaws, in the next ten to twenty years, he can dominate the wars of the future world, but at most fifteen years, he will lag behind the development of the world's weapons, do you remember those flaws?"

Gatling was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course I remember, the Gatling machine gun is only a semi-automatic machine gun, not a complete automatic fire machine gun, bulky, requires four people to operate, easy to jam, high-speed shooting is easy to bring high temperatures, damage the machine gun, these I have already understood, I am also trying to find a way to solve these problems, however, these problems are not so easy to solve, the future world may appear fully automatic, one-person operation of heavy machine guns, but, at least, I haven't seen anyone who can come up with a perfect solution to these problems. ”

Guo Ye nodded, others can't solve it, but in Guo Ye's opinion, none of these problems are problems, his brain contains all the development principles and design drawings of individual soldiers and heavy weapons in the next hundred years, even if some are just a prototype, but for the development of new weapons, it is enough, the reason why it is not immediately brought forward is because Gatling has just come to China after all, and has not yet established a solid cooperative relationship with himself, and second, there is a lack of some basic technology for the development of new heavy machine guns, Anyway, the Makqin heavy machine gun will not begin to be developed until seventeen or eighteen years at the earliest, seventeen or eighteen years, Guo Ye is enough to rely on the Gatling machine gun to monopolize the world, and when it comes to upgrading, Guo Ye will naturally take it out, but when the time comes, whether the developer is still Gatling, it is uncertain, ten years later, a large number of Chinese engineering and scientific and technological talents have emerged, and Gatling may have already been squeezed into the corner.

"So, Mr. Gatling, the fastest, when can our Gatling heavy machine gun be produced, the war ahead is urgent, I need to get the Gatling heavy machine gun as soon as possible!"

Gatling mused: "In a month and a half, in a month and a half, the Gatling heavy machine gun can be mass-produced......"

A month and a half?

Guo Ye shook his head, a month and a half, in the transportation to the front line, it will be too late, if you miss the battlefield, you will miss the opportunity to show your talents, there is no opportunity to show your talents, there is no excellent performance on the battlefield, it is very difficult to want to be in the European and American arms markets, those considerable markets.

"Mr. Gatling, I can only give you twenty days, you must produce ten heavy machine guns and corresponding bullets, if you encounter any difficulties, you just have to propose to the arsenal, the entire arsenal will cooperate with your development and production, go all out, I need to use it to fight on the battlefield of banditry!"

"Twenty days?"

Gatling smiled wryly and replied, "General Guo, the time you gave is too tight...... right?"

"Mr. Gatling, it's not that the time I gave is too tight, but the war is too tight, the market is too tight, I can still defeat the twisters without the Gatling heavy machine gun, but if I miss the war of the twisters, the Gatling heavy machine gun will miss the opportunity to show its skills, and if you want to occupy the market, it will be difficult......"

Guo Ye said in a deep voice, "So we must produce the Gatling heavy machine gun as soon as possible, fortunately, my requirements are not high, only ten, of course, if the time is too tight, seven or eight can also be used, but bullets are absolutely indispensable, 200,000 rounds of ammunition are necessary, without bullets, the Gatling heavy machine gun is a useless ornament!" ”

"Okay,"

The corners of Gatling's mouth twitched, and he replied, "I did my best, but because of the tight time, I am afraid that there will be some imperfections when the heavy machine gun is made......"

Guo Ye smiled and replied: "Mr. Gatling, this flaw is unavoidable, if we pursue absolute perfection, then we will achieve nothing, we need to find the defects of the heavy machine gun in practice, and then improve him step by step, this is the right way." ”

Gatlin nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Guo Ye's opinion.

Guo Ye looked at Zhang Chunping on the side and said, "Chunping, what's the matter, these days, you are staring at the arsenal, coal mine and iron factory alone, are you a little unbearable?" ”

Zhang Chunping smiled bitterly: "My lord, I have never seen you like a hands-off shopkeeper, the three factories and mines have not yet been completed, you pouted your ass and ran to the United States, throw this mess to me alone, in the past two years, I have almost never been home, poor my mother, it is not easy to see me......"

Guo Ye's face turned red and said with a smile: "Okay, I know that you kid is hard, but if you find talents, then boldly let go, you only need to report important matters to you, just don't worry about everything, in the next time, you can focus on the arsenal." (To be continued.) )
