Liu Jun promoted his flying dragon gun, which was very hard. But what he said was more of a fact, not a boast. There is a disadvantage of cutting corners in today's official workshops, which leads to the fact that the firearms made by the craftsmen in the end are also cut corners.

In this era, the guns could theoretically reach a life of 200 rounds. But in fact, the guns in those workshops can reach the life of 100 rounds, which is already considered a conscience product. Most of them only have a lifespan of about 80 rounds, and some are extremely cut corners, and even have a lifespan of only 30 or 50 rounds.

Even if such a firearm is only sold for two taels of silver, few people are willing to buy it, and few people are willing to use it. The barrel is too thin, and the inside of the barrel is not round and straight enough, which is very easy to deform, and it is easy to explode.

And a firecracker, without about 100 rounds of live-fire training, can not master firearms at all, let alone be proficient in firearms shooting. But the officers and soldiers bought a lot of firearms, and they couldn't even support the intensity of training. If you can't hit a hundred rounds, the firearm will be scrapped, and you may even be afraid of only ten or twenty rounds before it will explode directly.

In addition to endorsing the distrust of the firecrackers, such a firecracker also greatly increases the cost of equipment.

And Liu Jun's firearms workshop has now expanded several times, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger each time. Through the folding process and unified standards, the firearms workshop is now carrying out assembly operations, the master master takes the ordinary craftsman, the ordinary craftsman takes several college apprentices, the university apprentice takes several junior apprentices, and then is equipped with a lot of ordinary workers, and the efficiency of the firearms workshop is greatly enhanced.

Originally, the most restrictive link in the manufacture of the gun barrel is now also improved after the improvement of the gun bed and the method of changing people in three shifts without changing the gun bed, it used to take a month to drill a gun bore, but now it only takes five days. And the drill workshop of the firearms workshop already has thousands of workers and hundreds of beds.

The drill shop can now produce 3,000 barrels per month.

Liu Jun has been expanding the firearms workshop and invested a lot of manpower and financial resources, and now the firearms workshop has been able to achieve self-sufficiency in the nine-headed bird, and can even be exported.

Now Liu Jun just hopes to find more orders to come over, although the production of firearms seems troublesome, but when the scale is started, it is actually relatively simple, as long as the original village materials can be obtained, then with the scale of the firearms workshop of the nine-headed bird, it can produce 3,000 flying dragon guns every month, as well as more fixed ammunition, and many fire mines.

If it weren't for Liu Jun's transfer of manpower to develop and manufacture artillery and fire mines, the firearms workshop would have already exceeded the scale of 3,000 guns per month.

"You have seen the effect of our flying dragon gun, using the best Fujian iron, and then refining, ten catties of Fujian iron refined into a catty of refined iron, and then after dozens of processes to complete the processing, our fire gun also has a great advantage, all parts are standardized production, that is to say, our gun pipe caliber can be the same size, with our same standardized production of lead bullets, you no longer have to worry about the problem of lead medicine and fire guns do not match. And you're a connoisseur, and you know that the advantage of this standardized tube and ammunition is that the accuracy is greatly improved. ”

"Another one, the barrel of our Wyvern Gun is made using multiple advanced processes, so that our Gun Tube now has a life span of 500 rounds. You heard it right, 500 rounds, it is completely possible to fire 500 rounds without pressure. Even if you take care of it properly, it is estimated that 600 rounds will not be a problem. ”

"Think about it, if you buy those two-two-two-one guns, if you're lucky, you can put thirty or fifty rounds, and if you're unlucky, you can put ten rounds and they will explode. And when you buy our Wyvern gun, you don't have to worry about exploding the bore, and the life of the 500-round gun tube is like a fake. This is not just a matter of dozens of more rounds, it also means that your original firecracker may be scrapped before a battle is finished, while our firecracker can at least last a dozen high-intensity battles, or even fight for a year. ”

"What's more, you've seen our Wyvern with your own eyes and a self-firing door cover, and it has also improved the wide butt to shoot against the shoulder, which is more accurate, and the back parts are more sophisticated and airtight, so you don't have to worry about the shooter hurting his eyes."

"Another point, our Lumi gun is four feet five long and weighs six pounds, which is light and convenient, and we also have a special design that can add a three-foot flat sword to the gun tube. When the enemy is close to him, he can also directly fight the enemy with the gun, and use the gun as a short spear, which enhances the hand-to-hand combat ability of the gunners. ”

Zhu Pet kept nodding, and every time Liu Jun said the same, he nodded busily. In fact, he has verified all of what Liu Jun said. The last time Huang An was separated, Liu Jun gave him a flying dragon gun, and after he went back, he tried it carefully, only to find that this gun was really powerful, so this time he came to order a batch of equipment for his own family.

"How much does it cost?" Zhu Pet couldn't help but ask.

Liu Jun smiled slightly, Zhu Pet asked the price directly, this desire to buy is very strong.

"It's not an exaggeration to call such a sharp firearm an artifact, Brother Zhu, what do you think such a firearm should be worth?"

Zhu Pet snorted but couldn't speak, it is inevitable that the price of such a gun will be high, and then he himself is a buyer, so he can't open a high price first.

"We're all acquaintances, I'll give you a parity." Liu Jun said with a smile, "Thirty taels of silver, buy a flying dragon gun, and we also come with a three-foot fine iron sword, plus 600 rounds of ammunition, plus a bullet bag." The included are all custom-loaded paper bullets, and the quantity of 600 rounds can make you buy our Wyvern Gun without having to spend extra money on ammunition. ”

"Thirty taels!" Zhu Pet almost jumped up. This is also too expensive, the ordinary fire gun is only two or two, which is fifteen times the price.

"You get what you pay for. Don't look at it a little expensive, but the six hundred rounds of fixed ammunition and the sword we sent you are worth ten taels of silver. What's more, it is not an exaggeration for our Lumi guns to be ten ordinary firearms, you must know that during the battle, you blow up a firecracker, not only the firecrackers are destroyed, but also your gunskeepers are injured, and you are directly reduced by one. Calculate carefully, buy the Flying Dragon Gun only to make money and not to lose. ”

"It's a little more expensive, it's a little more expensive." Zhu Pet bit and didn't let go.

Liu Jun said with a smile, "Brother, you bought the Flying Dragon Gun for your team." That's your elite, you rely on these people to support the façade, and even if you say something unpleasant, you have to rely on them to save your life when it is critical. Do you hope that at a critical time, your family member is injured by a rotten gun, or he can't hit at a critical time, or even can't hit it at all? If you are reluctant to spend money, then what kind of flying dragon guns do you buy, and even your ordinary bird guns don't need to be bought, you just cut a few bamboos to make bamboo guns, to put it bluntly, don't you hope that after they are equipped with these equipment, they can play a role at a critical time, isn't it? ”

"Is it really indispensable?" Zhu Pet was said to be excited.

"Big brother, we are all acquaintances of our own family, and I told you the real price a long time ago."

"Then I'll buy a hundred, can you give some discounts."

Liu Jun couldn't help but want to laugh, this Zhu Fat Man is really it, but thinking about the ordinary and excellent version of the bird gun he bought at the beginning, it cost twenty taels and a handful, and he knew that the firearms industry was actually really profitable. He offered thirty taels, and excluding the delivery, the rest was only about twenty taels.

Liu Jun has already calculated the cost of the new type of flying dragon gun, all the costs add up, in addition to the included sword and ammunition, the cost of a flying dragon gun is about five taels, which is indeed much more expensive than the ordinary bird gun with a factory price of only two taels, but the quality and effect are not comparable to ordinary bird guns.

The cost of five taels, plus accessories, is about seven taels, if it is far away, plus logistics and distribution, it may cost eight taels of silver. The price is 30 taels, and the profit reaches more than 300 percent, and the profit is indeed high, but this also belongs to a special industry, and the entry threshold is relatively high.

Liu Jun said that he didn't pit Zhu Fatzi, and he was indeed telling the truth.

"In this way, one hundred flying dragon guns plus the distribution of swords and ammunition, you will receive three thousand taels of silver, I will give you a nine-percent discount, count our brotherhood, how about I send you another 10,000 rounds of fixed-loading paper bullets?"

Zhu Fatzi still wanted to get some more discounts, but Liu Jun didn't let go, so he had to agree. In the end, he still wanted to buy guns, but Liu Jun didn't have them in stock.

The nine-headed bird is going to be greatly expanded this time, and Liu Jun is ready to equip his nine-headed bird battalion with more artillery fire, so he must first satisfy himself.

"It may take a month, and after a month it will be in stock, and you have to pay a deposit first. A month later, we will not only have the Tiger Squat Cannon, but also the Exterminator Cannon, and even if you want a small Franc machine, it will not be a problem. ”

A new artillery workshop has been opened in the firearms workshop of the nine-headed bird, and three have been opened as soon as it opens, namely the Tiger Squat Cannon Workshop and the Exterminating Cannon Workshop, as well as a Franc Machine Gun Workshop. Although for the time being, it is only a small cannon of dozens to hundreds of catties researched and manufactured, but it can be regarded as a good development speed.

For the time being, Hydra's own firearms workshop is not yet able to produce large Franc machines and more powerful Hongyi cannons.

However, Xiong Wencan was still good to Liu Jun, he not only promoted Liu Jun to the garrison, gave him 3,000 soldiers, and even promised to give Liu Jun a batch of firearms and horses, as well as grain, grass, and military salaries. Among them, the artillery includes three Hongyi cannons. Although he hasn't seen anything yet, Liu Jun believes that Xiong Wencan can't completely fool him, and he has to cash in on something. In addition, he has officially reached an agreement with Mei Zhihuan.

Mei Zhihuan ordered 1,000 new-style flying dragon guns from Nine-headed Bird, and Nine-Headed Bird ordered two 3,800-pound Hongyi cannons from Guangdong through Mei Zhihuan, General Shenwei and several thousand-pound Buddha machine cannons.

These days, Zhu Pet is no longer the first person to be personally promoted by Liu Jun, nor is he the first customer to reach an agreement with Liu Jun. In just a few days, Liu Jun signed many contracts with Mei Zhihuan, Zhu Pet and many other large and small customers, sold nearly 3,000 flying dragon guns, and hundreds of tigers squatted and exterminated.

For the deposit alone, Liu Jun received tens of thousands of taels.

At present, the workshop produces only more than 2,000 finished dragon guns, but the workshop can produce at least 3,000 dragon guns per month, so although these orders seem to be a lot, they are only a month's output.
