What's more, Ding Yusheng also promised to provide a French Grass-style rifle!

Lin Yiqing also knows the history of the Glass rifle very clearly.

After the Franco-Prussian War, the French military authorities began to seek the most economical and most suitable formula for the French rifle.

There is no doubt that if the former were chosen, the introduction of patents and the licensing of production would have consumed a lot of valuable budgets, and the disposal of 1.2 million Chasepol rifles would have become a serious problem, at a time when France had just emerged from the quagmire of the Franco-Prussian War, which led to huge military expenditures and made France's financial situation not very optimistic.

Without much discussion, a modified version of the Chasepol rifle, the Grasse, began to be installed in the French army. There is a theory that France replaced the Chasebo rifle with the Grasse rifle after the Franco-Prussian War, but in fact, most Grasse rifles were converted from the Chasebo rifle.

The Glass rifle uses 11 mm caliber brass fixed bullets, and the bayonet has also been replaced, in addition to the fact that there is basically not much difference from the previous Chasepol rifle (according to the state of the Chasebo rifle, the modification method is also different) The new production version is slightly different from the modified version Some details, such as the gauge and the bar, the metal cartridge case fixed bullet has largely solved the problem of air tightness, the firing pin tailstock of the Glass rifle is quite different from the Chasebo rifle, and a hook is added to the bolt firing pin part, In addition, one of the important measures to adapt brass bullets was the addition of shelling equipment.

The bullet used in the Glass rifle, caliber 11 mm, brass bottle-shaped cartridge case, paper-wrapped lead bullet, the Glass rifle carbine type has the same drooping bolt handle as the Chasebo rifle.

As an improved model, one of the biggest differences between the Glass rifle and the Chasebo rifle is the addition of a vent channel in the receiver, which can dredge the gas to a certain extent and prevent danger.

The performance of the improved Glass rifle greatly exceeded that of the Chasebo rifle, and it was better than the Schneider rifle equipped by the Japanese army, such as the Schneider rifle at that time with an effective range of 732 meters, while the Glass rifle had an effective range of 900 meters!

With Glass rifles, trained Satsuma samurai could have swept away the peasant soldiers of the Meiji government army in Japan!

In addition to these weapons, Ding Yusheng also promised to provide 12 Haqikaisi machine guns, which made Lin Yiqing even more excited.

After the discussion, Lin Yiqing didn't want to disturb the sick Ding Yusheng to rest, so he took the initiative to leave. Lin Yiqing and Ding Yusheng made an appointment for future contact, and when they left, they asked for a letter of introduction to enter the shipmaster's gunnery station, and the long conversation just now made him itch to love military equipment, and he wanted to visit the shipmaster's gunnery station, of course, it would be great to see Gatlin and Hatch Cash.

Leaving Ding Yusheng's house, Lin Yiqing went straight to the shipmaster's gun station, the doorman read Ding Yusheng's letter of introduction to him, did not dare to slack off, and informed a principal, who heard that he was a guest of the shipmaster's minister, warmly received Lin Yiqing, and sent a guide to accompany Lin Yiqing to visit.

At this time, Lin's machine gun was being assembled in the workshop, and Lin Yiqing was in a trance when he saw the busy scene of workers in antique short clothes operating various machines in the factory.

"These are the 11-barreled stun guns that are ready to be installed on the new ship," the foreman said as he introduced several newly built Lin's machine guns to Lin Yizhe, "The cartridge is also newly made according to the drawings drawn by Lord Lin at the beginning, and it has just been test-fired, and it is very useful." ”

Lin Yiqing looked at the new 11-barreled naval machine gun carefully and nodded in admiration.

When he learned from Ding Yusheng that the production capacity of the shipmaster's guns was limited, he was still a little disappointed, but when he saw all this in front of him, he deeply understood that Lin Yizhe could already say that he had done his best to have the current scale.

It is not an overnight thing to change such a huge and ancient agricultural country as Qianguo!

Listening to the guide's explanation, Lin Yiqing learned that the shipmaster's gun station had successfully developed a 2-pound (40 mm) single-barreled machine gun under the auspices of Hatch Cash.

As soon as Lin Yiqing arrived at the shipyard's gun station, he heard a roar from the direction of the test site.

When a director saw Lin Yiqing coming, he thought that he had come to see the new artillery test, so he took Lin Yiqing straight to the artillery test site.

At this time, the artillery test was still continuing, and Lin Yiqing did not disturb Hatch Kais, who was presiding over the test, but carefully observed the artillery test.

At this time, the target in the center of the field had been completely smashed, and Hatch Kaith did not notice Lin Yiqing's arrival, but was engrossed in the test of the new single-barreled machine gun. At his command, several Chinese workers pushed a small sampan on a flatbed cart and placed it in the center of the field.

After the target was re-arranged, the workers seemed to be afraid of the power of the cannon and all walked away quickly. Hatch Kaith then ordered the trial to begin. Lin Yiqing quickly stopped, covered his ears with his hands, and opened his mouth wide. And the few who came with him also did the same as him.

Lin Yiqing saw two gunners step forward, aimed a single-barreled machine gun on a fixed iron frame, aimed at the small sampan, and fired a shot.

I saw a dark red flame erupt from the slender barrel, followed by a loud bang, and the middle of the small sampan placed in the center of the field as a target suddenly exploded, and the violent explosion actually blew the small sampan into two in an instant!

Seeing the little sampan being smashed in two, Hatch Chase looked satisfied, and he excitedly took off his earbuds and stepped forward with several Chinese technicians to check the scars of the broken target and do a damage assessment.

At another artillery test site, several gunners wearing earplugs are operating a five-barreled machine gun and firing heavily at a sampan placed in the center of the field as a target.

The five-barreled cannon fired only a few shells, and the sampan as a target was reduced to scattered fragments in a series of violent explosions.

Seeing a piece of burning debris fall in front of him, Lin Yiqing couldn't help but take a step back.

"What a perfect weapon!" Seeing the success of the experiment, Gatlin and Hatch Chase opened their arms and hugged excitedly, and then the two happily hugged the staff around them.

Lin Yiqing looked at the two world's top weapon design masters from a distance, and couldn't believe his eyes for a while.
