Now that there is still a long time before April next year, Zhang Hongbin immediately ordered to expand the scale of the workshop, increase the investment of craftsmen, and make sure to complete 10,000 such guns within three months. Of these, 5,000 will be put into the army for redressing, and the other 5,000 will be reserved for just in case.

In other words, before February next year, craftsmen will also make 5,000 new firearms, as well as equipped with paper shell bullets.

The remaining two to three months were the time for the soldiers to get used to the fire.

The biggest advantage of firearms is that with the increase in the number of firearms, the soldiers can master the application of this firearm in the shortest time. In other words, even if a recruit has never touched a firebolt, after firing 300 rounds in a row, he will learn how to use a firebolt, and even become proficient in the use of firearms.

In contrast, a qualified archer must take two to three years to train, and the most important thing is that the archery and physique developed are their own. As long as the firecracker takes away the firecracker or takes away the ammunition, then he loses the ability to resist.

Why are firearms favored by the state and strive to develop them?

For one, it is quick to get started, and even the whitest soldier can quickly become a qualified firearms user.

Second, firearms are powerful and easy to control. In the era of cold weapons, the bravery of military generals not only threatened foreign enemies, but also threatened rulers. But personal bravery cannot be deprived at will, and deprivation is also a loss for oneself. But firearms are different, given in wartime and deprived in non-wartime, commanders don't even need to go to the front in person, personal prowess is completely ignored, and there is no need to worry that these soldiers are too brave and at some point threaten their rule.

To put it simply, even if I plan to rebel, as long as I deprive myself of the supply of bullets and gunpowder, and even deprive myself of firearms, who else can rebel now?

The development of artillery is still continuing, and at this stage it can only be improvised. This thing consumes too much gunpowder, and maybe it comes from a copycat supermarket, so after about 30 shots, it is inevitable that there will be an explosion. Fortunately, the oil drum is not expensive and can be replenished at any time if needed.

Time is going by day by day, and it seems that it is the end of the year, and the things that need to be paid attention to have begun to become fewer. It was only at this time that those officials finally had time to go to a party, drink a little wine, and go up to the green building or something.

Don't think that going to the Qinglou is a very lowly thing, there are many Qinglou that have been graded in the past dynasties, and it is an elegant thing for poets and inkmen to go to the Qinglou. Otherwise, if it's just for **, just find a half-open dark. Prostitution, decoration is very casual Xiaoqinglou can, if you dislike others are not good-looking, then go home to play with your wife, three wives and four concubines are not illegal in this era, if you like seven wives and nine concubines, no one cares, such as Zhou Daodeng's old stallion.

It's rare to be leisurely, but Zhang Hongbin has no extra entertainment to do.

In addition to playing with women, he didn't know what other entertainment he could devote himself to in this era. But if it's a job, it's obviously too boring, and besides, today's work is done, so there's no reason to find a job to do on your own. As a leader, then working hard is not a good thing for yourself and your subordinates.

Well, maybe you can just go to the library and read a book to recharge your batteries...... But according to my memory, if I don't invest some time in it, I will end up forgetting it in three or four days. Supermarket, why isn't there anything to increase memory?!

"Hello users, the goods you need are available for sale on the sixth floor, if you want to buy, please upgrade the user level!" The voice of the supermarket guide sounded.

"By the way, what do you usually think about, and you're peeping?" Zhang Hongbin was a little dissatisfied.

"This shopping guide is a system program projection, and only has the right to replenish and introduce you to the functions of the supermarket, as for the rest, this shopping guide has no power in this regard." The voice of the shopping guide is very mechanical, as if it introduces itself, it is itself a projection of a program.

It's just a pity that such a figure and appearance are obviously a rare beauty.

"This shopping guide does not sell his body, users, please don't think nonsense." The cold voice of the shopping guide came.

Well, this guy can definitely peek into his own thoughts......

"Dear user, your consumption has reached 10,000, you can open the unopened area on the fourth floor, is it open?" Zhang Hongbin just bought a can of beer, but he didn't want the shopping guide to send a new prompt.

looked at the balance, and then found that his consumption was really full of 10,000. Come to think of it, three caravans in a row this month, carrying various goods to all parts of the country for sale, plus the previous accumulation, this transaction volume is indeed almost 10,000. It's just that I didn't expect that the last bit of consumption actually came from the beer I bought casually.

There is nothing to say about that, thinking about what he needs, Zhang Hongbin still opened the weapon area.

Originally, according to his intentions, it would be better to open the tool or medicine area, but judging from the current situation of artillery shortage, it is the most important thing to see what kind of new firearms the fourth-level authority has brought him. After all, the enemy will go south in April next year.

At present, Zhang Hongbin is on the second floor of the supermarket, and yes, if it is just ordinary beer, it is sold on the second floor. The tobacco and alcohol sold in the so-called luxury area are all high-end and noble products, far superior to those cheap goods in terms of taste and texture...... Even if it's still a knockoff. Naturally, the price will not be much worse.

However, here on the second floor, Zhang Hongbin still felt the rumbling of the upstairs, which was the opening of the new area.

With anticipation, he came to the fourth floor, and soon saw the newly opened area.

There are very few weapons, this is his most intuitive feeling, and it is also the first feeling. As for the second feeling, it is a burst of emotion: we have completely entered the age of firearms......

Yes, none of them are cold weapons, even if they are relatively backward thermal weapons, at least they are thermal weapons, and they are the only products here.

Lu Miquan, which Zhang Hongbin has seen before, is on the number jù data map provided by a certain novel. It was originally passed from Turkey, and it has been improved again and again, making it more suitable for Orientals. In the supermarket, in terms of material, the Lu Mi gun sold here is better than the new type of fire gun developed by himself, the structure is also flint ignition, and it is rare that Zhang Hongbin saw the rifling at the muzzle, which is a rifled gun.

What pleased him the most was the bullet that was equipped, and it was not an ordinary bullet, but a mini bullet. The Mini bullet is the closest invention to the modern bullet before the advent of the modern bullet. It can be said that if an ordinary bullet can hit a distance of 100 meters, then a Mini bullet can hit a distance of 150 meters. If you want to talk about the disadvantage, it is probably that the manufacturing must be a soft metal such as lead, so the stopping effect is strong, but the penetration power is insufficient.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of mini bullet sold in the supermarket, the cone-shaped bullet in front of it, is a real steel bullet. As for the rear, it is obviously plated with a layer of copper, and this bullet is this way to save copper and achieve the purpose of rapid expansion in case of heat, after all, China has always been a country lacking copper.

In other words, if you use this kind of bullet, its power and penetration are perfect, and if you change it to smokeless gunpowder or nitrocellulose, its power will be even higher, but there is no such thing for sale in supermarkets.

In addition to the Reckless, there is also a more primitive revolver, which also uses paper-shelled bullets and can shoot up to six times in a row. Continuous shooting is its advantage, but the effective firing range is up to fifty meters, which is a sharp weapon in medium-range warfare. According to the traditional concept of combat, the battle is carried out by artillery bombardment at the farthest point, by spears at the firing range, by grenades and pistols within 50 meters, and by bayonets at the last distance.

Therefore, if such a pistol is equipped with one for each firecracker, the combat effectiveness of the army will be further improved.

The third is a grenade, according to the description, it is a wooden-handled grenade that has evolved to modern times, and the effective killing range is ten meters, which is much higher than the grenade on the third floor. Thirty steel balls are also installed inside, which means that they can further damage nearby enemies after exploding.

The fourth is also what Zhang Hongbin needs the most, that is, artillery. A typical Napoleonic cannon, the so-called twelve-pounder gun. Gunpowder and ammunition can be purchased separately, and according to the highest grade gunpowder, a solid ammunition can be shot at a distance of four to five miles, and the power is still very good. At the same time, there are also flowering shells that can be purchased, and the effective killing range is also ten meters, which is rare that it can be blasted four or five miles away through the barrel and then exploded.

These four weapons are the new types of weapons provided by the fourth level, and Zhang Hongbin wants to buy them immediately when he sees them.

In fact, he did.
