On the way to Jinling, Duan Deming had a premonition that his good brother Zhu Daolin would help him, and when he arrived in Jinling, he followed Zhu Daolin for a business trip, drank a drink, and knew that Zhu Daolin was indeed not what it used to be, and he became rich!

Therefore, Duan Deming didn't want to be coy, and directly reported the loan figures that he had discussed countless times with his father and two elder brothers: "At least 1.8 million is needed, otherwise you won't be able to buy enough good machines." ”

Zhu Daolin asked again: "To be more relaxed, you know my temper, I never do anything that is a hundred miles and a half and ninety." ”

Duan Deming was moved, gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "2.2 million! There are 2.2 million who will definitely be able to stand up again, if not, I will lie on the rails! ”

Zhu Daolin couldn't help but smile: "Dog, do you communicate with the train in that mountain?" ”

Duan Deming laughed: "It's more than 20 kilometers away from the trunk railway, not far, haha!" ”

Zhu Daolin smiled and continued: "Give me the account number, go to the bank tomorrow morning and transfer it to you by the way, lend you 3 million first, it's always good to be loose, the wages of workers have risen vigorously these years, and no one can want the horse to run, and the horse will not eat grass." ”

Duan Deming was not pretentious: "Okay, I'll write you a loan receipt later, and then talk about the musket and artillery you need, for me, I can make it for you if you need Bayi Bar, and I can definitely keep it secret for you." ”

"I called and asked about the antique artillery when I transferred planes in Shanghai, and I clearly told him that if he wants a real guy, he must not use a few cannons, and the old brother in Shancheng heard me say that Tangshan Film and Television Base wants to order an old-fashioned front-loading smoothbore gun, and immediately said that there is no problem, and said that there is no need to cast at all, just forge directly, and forging is simpler for them. The steel and machines are ready-made, and there is no need to open the mold, and the overall quality and effect of the production is definitely a hundred times stronger than that of the artillery of the 19th century......"

However, he put forward two conditions, first, the caliber of more than 240 centimeters can not be dried. I reckon their old forging press isn't up to par; Second, if the number is less than 50, he is reluctant to take it, saying that there is too little work to do, and it depends on what you mean. ”

Zhu Daolin was very happy: "Great, the quantity will not be small, the price is negotiable, I was worried that no one was willing to do it, and I was even more worried that the people who were willing to do it would not meet my requirements, and finally made me a lot of waste that would be paralyzed after a few shots." ”

"Blind worry! If you build a gun. It is estimated that there are a lot of troubles, at least you need a certificate issued by the relevant departments here in the film and television base, who cares about you when you make an antique breech gun? Could it be that there are still people who carry antique breech guns weighing hundreds of kilograms and ball shells weighing more than a dozen kilograms to rob banks? Aren't the new artillery guns on the batteries in the major tourist attractions along the coast and rivers all imitated by the various arsenals? Duan Deming said disdainfully.

Zhu Daolin was unwilling to harm his brother, especially on this matter, he explained again: "My requirements are very high, and the steel cannon must be able to be used in actual combat, not a good-looking and unusable product!" ”

Duan Deming was a little impatient: "If you still don't worry, I'll go to the mountain city to supervise the construction of the cannon when I make it." You can always trust it, right? Tell us about how demanding you are. ”

Zhu Daolin was relieved: "I have prepared the relevant requirements and specific parameters of the artillery, and the information will be given to you tomorrow." There are four main types, with calibers of 60mm, 80mm, 150mm and 210mm, all of which are based on the classic artillery of European countries in the nineteenth century. ”

"The first two are infantry guns, which need to be mounted on artillery trucks. Therefore, there must be a base for installation, and the latter two are installed on a sail warship, and there must be an artillery recoiling mechanism, even if it is a simple mechanical spring-type buffer reentry mechanism, it doesn't matter, but it must have. Otherwise, a salvo is likely to make the imitation sail battleship fall apart. ”

"As for the quantity, let's build 100 doors each, and if I can build more, I will continue to pay for it."

Duan Deming was taken aback: "You won't go to Africa to fight on a dog day, will you?" How do you make so much? ”

"At least two hundred doors should be installed on the nearly two-kilometer city wall of the film and television base, and at least dozens of them should be spared, and at least hundreds of sail warships and ironclad ships will be customized in the future, adding up to thousands of doors, weren't you worried about the small number just now?" Zhu Daolin asked rhetorically.

Duan Deming gritted his teeth: "Okay, it's really not okay for Lao Tzu to build it for you in the factory, I still want to make this money, it's best that the old brother in Shancheng can't make so much, give me the order, with the technology of hundreds of old workers in our factory, modern military artillery really can't be made, but it is not difficult to cast nineteenth-century steel cannons with the casting method." ”

"If you provoke Lao Tzu, when you go back, you will organize people to make a batch of breech guns with cannon latches out!"

Zhu Daolin was happy: "Okay! You have the ability to build, I want to build as much as I want, haha! It's best to give me a copy of the technical information on the method of casting artillery, the quality requirements of raw materials, the process flow, and temperature control, and then help me make dozens of sets of standard molds for the above kinds of artillery casting, and I will double the amount of money to you. ”

"This is no joke! I'm really going to do it, that is, to invest real money, can you really use it? Duan Deming asked in surprise.

Zhu Daolin nodded solemnly: "It is very needed, and the sooner the better, it is best to help me solve these things before the end of the year, including the artillery you cast, I want as much as I want, and I will pick up the goods directly, you don't need to take the risk, you can keep it secret." ”

Duan Deming stared at Zhu Daolin's eyes, and asked in a low voice after a while: "Lao Tzu is poor and crazy now, even if I make thousands of AK47 or 56 semi-automatic for you, Lao Tzu will not blink an eye, at most make it into pieces for you, you can just find wood to make the butt yourself, and then install it?" ”

Zhu Daolin sighed: "Even if you give me a good gun, if you don't have a bullet, it's a burning stick, but is it so easy to make bullets?" It's harder than building a gun! Don't say it, let's just decide, I want 5,000 flintlock pistols, along with bayonets, all of them must be genuine, and if they are easy to use, you will make them again, and you know better than me about firearms, so you can look at it. ”

Duan Deming stopped talking, took out a cigarette and lit it, stood up and walked to the door of the study, and then to the floor-to-ceiling window, walked back and forth countless times, and finally returned to Zhu Daolin's side:

"I can make a flintlock pistol for you, just refer to the flintlock pistol design used by the British and French forces in the Second Opium War, reduce the number of spare parts as much as possible, re-optimize, and design a simple and practical flintlock pistol, and strive to make it simpler and more reliable, both bayonets and bayonet mounts will be available, these are not a problem."

"I just wanted to ask you, do you really need 5,000 flintlock pistols?"

Zhu Daolin said with a wry smile: "Some of them are sent to the film and television base to be used as props, and I have to sell the rest overseas, as for where you sell it, don't ask, I don't want to say, I can only tell you that even if you make 100,000, I can buy it, the problem is that this will bring you hidden dangers." ”

"So, I hope that after you make 5,000 pieces, give me all the design drawings and manufacturing processes and various technical parameters, and I will take them overseas for people to manufacture."

"I seem to understand what you mean, your biggest worries are two, one is that you are worried about affecting me, and the other is that you are worried that too advanced guns do not have corresponding bullets, right?" Duan Deming sat down and asked solemnly.

Zhu Daolin nodded: "That's true, there are no electric lights in that place overseas, and you let them make bullets?" The ability to make granular black powder is already remarkable. ”

Duan Deming seemed to understand: "In that case, why not simply make a pump-action shotgun that uses paper shell bullets, or make a single-shot paper shell rifle based on something like the Mauser G98 rifle?" ”

"In the middle of the nineteenth century, there were such single-shot rifles in Europe, and for my factory, it was much easier to build a single-shot rifle than to build a flintlock pistol. Mercury manufacturing technology is very understanding, not only can give you the entire primer manufacturing technology and process, but also can make a batch of manpower machine tools or hydraulic machine tools for you, so that you can go to that overseas place where there is no electricity to produce rifles and paper shell bullets, this is not better and more convenient than you buy a flintlock pistol? ”

"If you want, even a revolver that fires paper shells, Lao Tzu can make it for you with his eyes closed!"

Zhu Daolin was dumbfounded, feeling as if he had walked into a dead end, not knowing where the right direction was.
