Chapter 312: The Development of Firearms
After a few days of research, the scientific research department of Chongjia Town finally designed a mechanical shaft to match the magic scroll, as well as other key parts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
But these parts need to be very precise, but fortunately, there are many machines in the arsenal, and they can barely be manufactured.
It took a few more days to manufacture a batch of parts, which were sufficient as it was still in the testing phase.
While the engineers were testing the parts, the scientists on the firearms project had a major breakthrough.
This is also thanks to the bullets made by Demon Flame before, which are extremely powerful when combined with modern firearms.
Although the power of one round of ammunition is only in the early stage of the second order, what if it is more than twenty rounds? What about more than 30 rounds?
The researchers modified the musket that had been made before, equipped with a new magazine, and a suitable barrel, and the musket that could fire in bursts was transformed.
The rate of fire of this musket was three hundred rounds per minute, and the range was also increased to an effective distance of five hundred meters.
Don't look at the performance of other firearms, but with this powerful ammunition, it is not a problem to destroy an ordinary armored vehicle with a single magazine.
But it is an ordinary repeating musket, and the power is no less than that kind of anti-weapon firearm, which is already very powerful.
And it can be mass-produced, the cost of a firearm is probably less than fifty crystal nuclear coins, in fact, it is not so expensive, but the scientific researchers have also counted the arsenal machine.
Of course, what is more important is the issue of bullets, which need to be molten to be manufactured, otherwise everything will not be discussed.
These scientific researchers also know this, so they have found a solution and immediately found the military minister Mu Yue.
Under Mu Yue's notice, Li Yuanfang also learned the news.
According to scientists, there is actually an extinct volcano in the vicinity, but most people don't know about it.
This extinct volcano is about thirty kilometers away from Heavy Armor Wine, not very far, there are no fish people and undead around, just deal with the monsters.
Knowing this, Li Yuanfang directly led the troops to take a trip in person, after all, if you want to develop a volcano, it is still very dangerous if you are not careful.
Marching quickly, the army of skeleton soldiers soon came to the location of the extinct volcano, and it could be seen from a distance that there were many fire-type demonic beasts inhabiting nearby.
Li Yuanfang summoned the Demon Flame again and asked, only to see that it felt it quietly for a while, and then nodded.
After confirming that this was an extinct volcano, Li Yuanfang was ready to give the order to clear the demonic beasts here.
At this time, Mo Yan stopped him and said, "Master, Mo Yan has a way to subdue them. ā
Seeing this, Li Yuanfang asked Mo Yan to try it.
I only saw that the demon flame walked out, exuding a coercion, and the fire-type demonic beasts on the mountain were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, and they didn't dare to move.
After the effect was achieved, Demon Yan gave an order, and these fire-based demonic beasts obediently gathered at the bottom of the mountain.
This is just a simple subjugation of the strong to the weak, and the control is not very strong, only if they do something that damages them, these demonic beasts will still defect.
Therefore, trying to get them out of their own power is obviously unreliable, and at most they are used to scare people.
But looking at the appearance of Demon Flame, it seems that it has other plans......
Conquering these monsters also averted a war, but a hole was needed to develop this extinct volcano.
This was handed over to Demon Flame, which came directly to the mountainside, blasted through the rocks, and formed a large hole.
The rest of the task is left to the skeletons, who are still very skilled at digging holes.
A day passed, and by the time Li Yuanfang got the news and returned here, a hole leading to the interior had been dug.
Li Yuanfang then walked in, and the further he went, the higher the temperature, and he could vaguely see some fire-type demonic beasts.
Under the orders of Demon Flame, they were honest and did not attack themselves.
Li Yuanfang came to the center after a while, and could hear the sound of molten slurry flowing, and when he looked down, there was indeed a lot of molten slurry.
In addition, many fire-type demonic beasts stayed on both sides, condensing something.
After the introduction of Demon Yan, Li Yuanfang knew that these demonic beasts were really condensed with ammunition for muskets, and only demonic beasts above the second order could do it.
And these demonic beasts still want to do this every day, they stay near the molten lava, you must know that the speed of strength improvement is much faster.
However, the power of the ammunition produced by these demonic beasts is not as great as that of Demon Flame, and the average power is not bad in the late stage of the first order.
These fire-type demonic beasts are all a group of free laborers, and they only need to come regularly to collect ammunition, so what can they complain about.
Judging from the current output, hundreds of fire-type demonic beasts can produce 10,000 rounds of ammunition a day, and as their strength increases, I am afraid that it will only be more in the future.
Now there is also a problem, Demon Yan needs to stay here to manage these fire-type demonic beasts, so that the task of melting the factory will not be settled.
But there is also a solution, which is to transport the magma from here to the factory and still keep the plant running.
There is also a second method, which uses other means to melt, but it is not so efficient.
These are only minor problems, not nothing, and with these bullets, the repeating musket will be able to exert its power.
At this time, it could not be called a repeating musket, and the researchers gave a name - the first rifle.
The first rifle still needs to be perfected and tested, and it will take some time to go to mass production.
Now it seems that the mass production of the first rifle is already a sure thing, how can you do without a gun without an army, you can't expect a group of skeleton soldiers to hold a gun.
However, after a test, it was found that there was still a small number of archers and skeletons, and they could use the original rifles that were being developed, and the number was only about a hundred.
This is simply not enough, and the recruitment of soldiers is imminent.
The conscription order in Chongjia Town was quickly issued, and there were quite a few people who were willing to sign up, a total of more than 2,000 people.
For Chongjia Town, which has a population of only more than 30,000, it is a lot, but Li Yuanfang's decision is still not enough.
The undead and fish-people around him are hundreds of thousands at every turn, and even if he has advanced weapons, it will be useless.
Everything needs to be developed, although Li Yuanfang was able to forcibly recruit soldiers, but he did not do so, now Chongjia Town needs to develop, all people are soldiers, and no one has to do the rest of the things.
He still understands the truth of poor soldiers and silent martial arts, anyway, the undead and fishmen are not eyeing him now, and it is best to focus on development.
He also accepted all of these two thousand people, and now Chongjia Town can still afford to raise so many soldiers.
As for the training, it can only be handed over to the newcomers of the military department, and Zhong Ying will formulate a training plan, and it will not be a problem to train a small group of soldiers first.
Then we will promote the outstanding talents of this small group of soldiers and train other soldiers, so that the phenomenon of shortage of officers can be solved.
But training requires barracks, and barracks do not need to be built inside Chongjia Town, Li Yuanfang directly carved out an open space outside for soldiers to train daily. (To be continued.) )
