Lehydon clearly underestimated the difficulty of creating a good rifle.

In his previous life, as a standard military fan, he thought he knew very well the advantages and disadvantages of the various standard rifles equipped by various countries in this era. Metford, the Germans' 1888 Commission-style rifles, the American Kragg. Jorgensen rifles, the Russians' Mosin. The Nagant rifle was also a Steyr equipped by the Austrians themselves. Manlisha 18.90 rifle, but it's one thing to talk about it, and it's another thing to personally participate in the creation of it.

Due to the advent of smokeless propellants, the armies of various countries began to replace them with new rear-loading repeating rifles, and Lechelton was able to obtain samples of these rifles easily, after all, the Austro-Hungarian War Office also began to tender for new rifles.

With the help of seven engineers and technicians from Islaia, Heldon dismantled the prototypes, measured them part by part, redrew the drawings, and then modified and tested them according to Heldon's requirements. The matter was resolved after Plasic brought in several experts in firearms, and finally after more than three months of revisions and revisions, the standard design drawings were produced.

Finally, Lealden got his hands on the first sample of the rifle, which can also be called the "Four Dissimilarities".

Externally, the rifle he redesigned was essentially a mixture of national rifles: the shape, length, and caliber of the rifle were basically the same as those of the Manlicia rifle, the rotary rear pull bolt was similar to that of the German Commission rifle, and the ammunition supply device was similar to that of the Imperial Bag. Eight-round magazine like May's rifle.

"This is a counterfeit that has the potential to cause patent disputes." Lechelton shook his head, it took more time than he thought to make such a prototype, and the Imperial Army had already selected Steyr. The prototype gun produced by the company of Manlisha was used as standard equipment, and he had lost the opportunity.

Having missed the Army's tender, he now has plenty of time to improve it.

Li Haiton was not very disappointed, but full of confidence in the product in his hand.

This confidence came from the bullet in his hand, which was the result of plagiarism from later generations, and unlike the round-headed rifle cartridge commonly used in this era, its copper-clad bullet was pointed. Truth be told, the pointed bullet has a better aerodynamic shape, which allows it to achieve a higher muzzle velocity than a round warhead, and a more stable trajectory in the air, which means longer range and accuracy.

Pointed bullets would not become popular until after 18.95.

In people's consciousness, the shape of the bullet has not been completely reversed from the earliest steel balls.

Sometimes, a small change can lead to a revolution. The result of life.

In contrast to the hardships of the Maschinenbau in Islaia, Heldon's Reichs-Standard Electrical Company in Vienna had a thriving business and developed very smoothly, which led him to open three subsidiaries in Linz, Prague and Trieste in one fell swoop, and the company expanded its business to the manufacture of various electrical appliances and generators and electric motor equipment.

Plasic's return to Trieste from Vienna was a surprise for Heldon when he invited two gunsmiths for the company at a firearms tender held by the Army. Nagant and Lyon. The Nagant brothers. The two brothers were not doing very well now, their rifle design was not chosen by the Austro-Hungarian Army, and the impudent Russians gave the two brothers the name Mosin in front of the rifle designed by the brothers, and only gave them a few thousand rubles for the design fee.

Believing that the two of them could solve the problems left by the prototype guns they had made, the Nagant brothers eventually became the chief gunsmiths of the Islaya Machinery Manufacturing Company with a high salary of 1,500 crowns per month, which allowed Heldon to finally take a break from the complicated affairs and devote his energy to other places.

He needed to find some talent to strengthen his company.

For example, Diesel Diesel, an inventor who had just trial-produced the world's first diesel engine but was in debt and on the verge of bankruptcy, was one of them.

Rudolph. Diesel now makes ends meet by working in a refrigerator factory in Paris and continues to work on his internal combustion engine in his spare time. However, the diesel engine he is now trying to produce is not stable and can only run for about 1 minute, and in this era, gasoline engines have long been put into commercial use.

Now that Diesel's research was in trouble, he was eager to find a partner to support his research, and after receiving an invitation letter from the maschinenbau company of Islea from Augsburg, he rushed to Trieste by train from Paris without saying a word.

At this time, in a small repair workshop of the factory, Diesel was standing opposite Lechelton.

The sample that Diesel brought with him ran for about three minutes before it was completely paralyzed.

Lee Haydon's eyes were fixed on the machine, this sample seemed to be missing something compared to the diesel engine he remembered. Strangely, he turned the crankshaft with his hand, and there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, the flywheel, yes, this is it.

The stable operation of a diesel engine requires something that can store and release kinetic energy, that is, a flywheel that relies on inertia to keep the crankshaft running.

Diesel looked at the young Austrian royal family in front of him suspiciously, only to see a strange smile on the other side.

"Mr. Diesel, your equipment seems to be running very unsteadily."

"Yes, I'm trying to figure out how to overcome it." Diesel said hesitantly.

"But I think it deserves a good future." "ISLAIA Maschinenbau can fund your research, and now let's talk about the percentage of patent income that will be distributed in the future, and I think it's a good idea to set up a separate engine manufacturing company." ”

"I don't have any money right now." Diesel spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders regretfully.

"Your technology and invention can take 15 percent of the new company." Lechelton thought for a moment and then said, he waved his hand to stop Diesel from interjecting, "We also need to attract some excellent engineering experts to join this company, and they will also get five to ten percent of the shares, and I and other investors will own sixty-one percent of the shares of the new company, otherwise I will not be able to convince my partners to invest." ”

Diesel lowered his head and pondered for a moment before he said, "I would like to know the size of the investment in the new company." ”

"The first batch is about 300,000 kroner, and I think the company will provide you with no less than 200,000 kroner of research funding every year in the future." Helton Lee said that although he knows where to go in the future, he still needs to rely on a large number of professional people and teams to solve problems with integrity.

Diesel quickly calculated in his heart, although the stock worth 45,000 kroner was nothing, but the research grant of 200,000 kronor a year made him unable to refuse, not to mention that Li Haiden offered a salary of 2,000 kroner a month, which made him unable to refuse. The reality is also the same, and while Diesel aspires to own a company of his own, the reality is that his business vision and talent are vastly different from his IQ.

The new power company was located in the town of Steyr, just outside Vienna, where many skilled metalworking technicians were employed. MAN Commercial Power Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in boiler manufacturing, production of steam engines, internal combustion engines and development of steam turbines.

The steam turbine was invented as early as 1884 and is currently only used as a power plant for generators, and it was only a few years later that it was installed on warships. However, Helton was very interested in the experiment, but the current financial situation in his hands only made him think about it.

Now he urgently needs to find enough orders for the rifles he produces.
