In the case of the occasional portal to import modern raw materials, what basic conditions do the traversers need to meet if they want to produce their own gunpowder weapons?

Samples and drawings are not a problem, there are a few seized earthen shotguns in the city's public security bureau, although they are not very powerful, but they are also firearms.

The most basic gunpowder is not a problem at all, although there is definitely no way to purchase it from the regular arsenal, but as long as you hold the approval of a series of "relevant units" such as the industrial and commercial bureau and the municipal government, how much gunpowder is seized from the illegal fireworks factory in the countryside, and it has already been granulated with a lot of jishu content, which is better than the gunpowder used by the Spaniards in this time and space, and its quantity is enough to support several battles.

Seamless steel pipes are not a problem, this thing was still cutting-edge in China seventy or eighty years ago, but now it is not a rare commodity. If you really can't do it, you can make do with some more haode tap pipes, which are only a few dozen yuan per meter. As long as you go to the hardware wholesale market to buy more high-carbon steel pipes, and then go to the bankrupt machinery factory to get a few old-fashioned small machine tools, and then you can drum up a small arms factory. In terms of the level of jishu, it is definitely more advanced than the ordnance workshops of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army.

Bullets are a bit more cumbersome, but in the early days they can be replaced with iron pellets or iron sand, or they can be used as early European musketeers to take a large piece of lead and cast lead bullets on the battlefield. Gunpowder can also be wrapped in paper towels and the like according to the dosage to make paper cartridge shells.

The real unsolvable problem lies in how to process and produce?

If processing is carried out in modern shijie, not to mention how much effort it takes to build a factory, debug equipment, and recruit workers, and due to the time difference, the output will definitely not go up in just a few days. In addition, the mass production of gunpowder guns in small private arsenals is completely different from the concept of making large knives and spears. Just to get the relevant departments to nod and let them go, you have to fight a pen and ink lawsuit for an unknown amount of time, and spend an unknown amount of time and energy - what's more, due to the 24 times the difference in time flow rate, the side of the time and space gate can't wait!

If the entire factory were to be moved to the site of Archangel Wende, there would be no public security to investigate, but there was no industrial power supply there, and a few solar panels could not drive the machine tools. Even if you start a project to get a generator or something, it won't be easy to get the arsenal up and running - it's an impossible task to get a group of Native Indians from the Stone Age to know how to weld and metalwork, as well as use lathes and generators, in just a few months...... At the very least, there is no guarantee of an explosion accident or something.

Moreover, the Chrono Chengguan and Wen Desi themselves are also very busy, and it is impossible to spare too much time to make guns by themselves. Even if you barely make a few muskets, it is difficult to form a large-scale combat power - how many muskets can you make as a very skilled gunsmith who is unguided by the drawings and only has a year or two to make? I'm afraid that even the pro-guard team is not equipped enough!

Zuihou, how to train native Indian warriors to use these firearms, is also a big question. For example, in the Age of Discovery, due to the lack of sealing of the barrel, many pirates who were accustomed to using short guns were accidentally blinded by the gunpowder gas spewing from behind the barrel and turned into one-eyed dragons......

――――――――――――――――――――――

In view of the serious unreliability of homemade muskets, the people considered it for a long time, and for the sake of safety, Zuihou gave up the plan to build a bunch of improvised muskets to be shot in line, and instead ordered a large number of bows and arrows directly from later generations to enhance long-range firepower - bows made of modern materials and ergonomically designed to be much better in terms of range and durability than the rudimentary goods made by the Indians themselves by cutting wood. …,

On the other hand, based on a video on the Internet, referring to the combat experience of coal miners in El Salvador in the Kingdom of Spain who launched an armed strike in June 2012, they sent an order to order 200,000 "Drill Monkey" rocket fireworks (equivalent to an enlarged version of "Drill Mouse") from a fireworks factory in Liuyang, Hunan Province...... According to the complaints of online audiences, this thing is almost a simplified version of an RPG!

-- This kind of "Drill Monkey" rocket fireworks, when fired at flat and projectile, has an ultimate range of about 200 to 300 meters and an explosion radius of nearly 5 meters. The Spanish miners stuffed it into a water pipe with a welded grip and a crosshair, and then wore scald-proof asbestos gloves, carried it on their shoulders, and fired it out with a large shield aimed at the riot police, the orange tail flame, the screeching sound, the white smoke of gunpowder...... Mmmm, it's really an RPG bazooka!

Some people also say that this is obviously a magic arrow of a Goryeo stick!

When I saw this news for the first time, because it was not clear, Wang Qiuzhen thought that this was a Spanish miner's self-made RPG, because of the jet end in the video, a wire could be vaguely seen dragging out, and he also exclaimed that the Spanish miner actually created a wire-controlled missile by hand!

After a long time, Wang Qiu knew that the thing behind it turned out to be the tail rod of the Drill Sky Monkey......

In general, this weapon is simple to manufacture, not small, and inexpensive, and it is really worth owning and trusting.

It is said that after this actual combat test by the Spanish miners, this kind of Hunan Drill Monkey RPG, which is not restricted by gun control regulations, has seen an explosive growth in the share of the European and American arms markets. It is a necessity for Europeans, who have been mired in economic crises in recent years, to travel at home and protest in various countries, and to use them better than the gasoline bottles of the "Prague Spring" - after all, they are long-range weapons that can be hid and shot.

Moreover, after the actual test by Wang Qiu and others, its reliability is also very satisfying: even if it is drilled into the water, it will explode!

-- Since this thing is in the hands of the Saldorva miners, it can beat the Spanish police in the 21st century to the ground. Then let the Indians use it against the Spanish explorers of the 16th century, it should be okay!

After all, the old-fashioned arquebuses of this year, except for a few rare and expensive boutiques, generally seem to have a range of only 100 meters?

To make matters worse, the early arquebuses of this era had a very slow rate of fire, and it is said that it took three minutes to prepare for an average of two shots, so as to complete the tedious work of cleaning the chamber, loading the propellant, stuffing the projectile, etc., and worse, it was easy to explode, so it could not be fired continuously for a long time.

And this drill monkey not only has a range several times that of an arquebus, but it is also safer, and the rate of fire can reach at least four rounds a minute!

According to Wang Qiu and Wen Desi, it was much easier to train the natives to use rockets than to train them in the use of breech muskets - basically all they had to do was know how to aim at a target with the barrel and then strike a match to ignite the Drill Monkey rocket.

As for the only three earthen shotguns found in the seizures of the police station, for the time being, all of them can only be used by the traversers themselves - these things have been identified by the police and are still very reliable in terms of safety performance.
