After accompanying Xiao Wang Jing to set off fireworks for half the night, the relationship between the father and daughter really warmed up rapidly, and there was a trend that surpassed the past.

On the 27th, Wang Xuan, who wanted to sleep lazily, was woken up by Xiao Wang Jing's loud voice.

So the two of them hurriedly got up, and after a warm breakfast, the three of them took a leisurely walk in the yard.

Wang Xuan played with his daughter on the swing for a while, and then thought about going to the research institute to have a look.

But Wang Jingda was very clingy after getting acquainted with him, and he didn't leave him for a moment, so Wang Xuan had no choice but to take her to the research institute with him.

Yan Gong is still the image of a refugee who has been depressed for a long time, with a sloppy beard and a hungry yellow face, and the only thing desirable is that his eyes are clear and his eyes are bright.

When everyone in the musket group saw His Majesty coming with Princess Jing, their voices couldn't help but soften, and Wang Xuan, who looked at it, felt uncomfortable, and secretly said that he shouldn't bring his daughter here, he was indeed too doting.

"Don't be restrained, go to the conference room first, and see the results of the past six months. ”

The conference room was on the third floor, and when she got to the second floor, Wang Xuan put down Xiao Wang Jing and took her hand step by step to cross the steps that were a little difficult for her.

When he arrived at the conference room, Wang Xuan sat down in the main seat, and Yan Gong pulled the blackboard over and began to write and draw on it.

"In the past, the success rate of gun barrels was only one hundred, and the more than twenty barrels that were transported to the Southern Continent last time were produced by sixth-level technicians who worked day and night, just hoping that there would be a few more sharpshooters in the army, so that Jixiang would die a few fewer people, and the success rate was only around one hundred and five. ”

Wang Xuan secretly calculated to himself, according to this calculation, more than 20 qualified barrels, at least 400 raw materials need to be drilled, which is indeed a big project.

"Two months ago, the steam unit came with good news, and the first stable output of the mother engine was formed. ”

Although it was two months ago, everyone slapped hard after hearing the words, as if success was only yesterday, and the residual heat was not dissipated.

"To say that this steam engine is really good, Your Majesty is far-sighted, only after two days of testing and adjustment, you can drill out of a qualified barrel, the success rate is fifty percent, the remaining fifty percent is the defect caused by the resonance caused by the vibration of the machine, and now it has been solved, a piece of equipment can produce more than ten good products per day. ”

Yan Gong's words made Wang Xuan very moved, the output of ten roots per day is already considered high yield in this era, if the equipment is stable and the technology is mature, it is common to say that there are 100 roots per day.

Yan Gong continued: "The steam unit has a new research plan, which aims to improve the accuracy of parts, improve the fit between parts, reduce deviations, and improve the overall reliability, so if there is a breakthrough, it will be further advanced in the finishing area." ”

Wang Xuan believes that with the progress of material technology and the upgrading of processing technology, the product quality will only get higher and higher, and the production capacity will become larger and larger.

Since there are more than ten good products produced every day, Wang Xuan couldn't help but ask: "What is the finished gun now?"

Yan Gong replied that there were more than 500.

That's the strength of a battalion, and it's enough to do something good.

"Where are they now?"

Yan Gong understood that His Majesty was asking where the guns were found, so he returned to the logistics warehouse of the military headquarters.

Wang Xuan also asked: There can be improvements in other aspects of the gun.

Yan Gong said carefully: "There are some ideas, but only one is the most reliable." ”

Wang Xuanqi said: "Oh, say it quickly." ”

"In the past, the warhead and the projectile were separated, and the loading had to be completed in two parts, resulting in a certain degree of wasting of movements. Today, we have made the warhead an internal hollow type, in which it is filled with projectile and the tail is slightly protruding. When the chamber is closed, the needle punctures the firing package, igniting it smoothly and launching the bullet. In this way, the power of the ammunition will be maximized, and the frequency of the musket will be increased to three rounds per minute. ”

Wang Xuan understood, this is a two-in-one, although it is not clever, but it is also a kind of progress, not to mention the frequency of three rounds per minute.

According to this calculation, a battalion of 500 or so people can completely wipe out the strength of a regiment before the hand-to-hand encounter, which is a qualitative leap, so they took the lead in applauding.

This is a heartfelt applause dedicated to these behind-the-scenes heroes who can endure loneliness.

Xiao Wang Jing saw Daddy applauding, and also clapped his hands, which made everyone feel relieved.

"This is a good improvement, if the pharmacy is canceled one day, you will be a real master. ”

The spirit of everyone in the musket group was lifted, which was His Majesty's ardent hope, and it was also one of the few times that he took the initiative to make a request, so everyone attached great importance to it.

It's not just pressure, it's motivation.

"Please wait and see, Your Majesty. ”

"Please wait and see...... Your Majesty"

Yan Gong took the lead, and the morale of everyone in the musket group was like a rainbow for a while, so Wang Xuan happily left the musket research institute and went to the steam engine research institute.

The current machine research institute is very magnificent, not only the yard is bigger, but there are also a few more houses.

Led Xiao Wang Jing into the laboratory, a huge machine like a truck was in front of him, "This is an improved version of the steam engine?"

Wang Xuan was a little speechless, he hadn't seen the one that was shipped to the Southern Continent, and it was just a pile of parts when it was unloaded.

The person in charge said: "Your Majesty, this is the first generation of finished products, and the second generation is next door." ”

So Wang Xuan came to the next door again, this time it was slightly better, the second-generation steam engine in front of him was only the size of a car, and the boiler was only twice as big.

According to the person in charge, at present, two boilers are equipped with a steam engine, with a power of about 5,000 horses, and Wang Xuan calculated that it cannot be compared with the World War II in his memory, which is more than ten times worse.

It is even more incomparable with steam turbines.

The reason why Wang Xuan did not plan to go directly to the steam turbine was not a technical problem, but because he respected the objective law of the development of things, and he was not far from the seedlings.

The steam engine is advanced enough for this era, and only when it is thoroughly eaten can it be qualified to move on to the next step.

The experiment of the second-generation steam engine on the ship has been put on the agenda, Wang Xuan is only here to express his concern, and there is not much he can do about it, and he has to rely on actual operation to continuously improve.

After learning about it, the father and daughter came to the Institute of Optics with great interest.

Here to study and design all kinds of glasses, microscopes, magnifying glasses and other equipment of Jixiang, Wang Xuan is more concerned about gun scopes.

However, he has some regrets that there are only two times the output of the mirror at present, and there is still a long way to go before the next step of progress.

Wang Xuan raised a rifle with a scope and gestured it, the field of view was twice as small, but the clarity was also doubled, and the effect should be good when used at a distance of 100 meters.

Because Xiao Wang was quiet, he didn't have the opportunity to test the gun, so he went to the military headquarters after listening to the general situation.

At this time, it was almost noon, and Xiao Wang Jing was already sleeping sweetly in Wang Xuan's arms, with two little arms around his neck, very firm.

After arriving at the military headquarters, Wang Yu and all the generals and officers had gathered in the conference room.

Seeing Wang Xuan coming with Princess Jing in his arms, a warmth also swelled in his heart.

Wang Xuan waved his hand and motioned for the generals to sit down, and he also found a suitable posture on the wide boss chair to make Xiao Wang sleep comfortably as much as possible.

"Tell me about the situation. "The voice is soft, but still very penetrating.

Wang Yu said with a small meaning: "At present, there are 20,000 local army garrisons, 5,000 security teams (police officers), and nearly 20,000 reserves. The home navy has 7,000 men, including 3,000 for the river fleet and 4,000 for the Bay Area fleet. After a round of recruitment, the Air Force has reached 1,500 personnel and has more than 30 hot air balloons. In addition, the surrounding environment of our country has not changed much, except for the occasional appearance of thieves and robbers, all of whom have been arrested by the security forces. ”

Wang Yubian said that Wang Xuanbian had calculated the ratio of various branches of the armed forces in his heart, and indeed he had made great progress compared with the past.

According to the plan, from the end of the third year to the beginning of the fourth year, the population of Jixiang will exceed the 4 million mark, and according to the proportion of 2 percent of the soldiers, the total number of Jixiang local soldiers should be around 80,000, a gap of nearly 30,000.

From this point of view, auspiciousness is a bit of a reckless force.

But in fact, Wang Xuan was frightened by Xiao Wang Jing's words last night.

The desire is difficult to fill, and the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant.

In the past, when Jixiang only had one coal mine, Chiyan dared to brave the world to invade Jixiang.

Later, due to the heat of Jixiang Park and Hunan East Road Pedestrian Street, it attracted jackals to wait for them, although they finally defeated the United Fleet, they were not lightly damaged.

These were bloody lessons, and he didn't want to go through them again.

Nowadays, the auspicious wealth is more than in the past, but the population and the territory are seriously inconsistent with the wealth it creates.

For war, Wang Xuan has never been afraid.

He always believed that a group of lions led by a sheep is never a match for a group of sheep led by a lion.

Despite this, there are still people who are in danger, and they will only wake up if they hit the south wall.

Wang Xuan wanted to expand the army, in order to fundamentally deter the enemy's adventurous thoughts, and achieve the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

Jixiang had just been quiet for a few years, and to be honest, he didn't want to break the peace of his home so early.

"The overall military strength is a little thin, but the local manpower is just like that, and it is indeed not appropriate to sign too much labor, so the army will maintain the current scale for the time being, and a division will be transferred from the southern continent to change the defense in the future. ”

As soon as Wang Xuan said this, the hearts of everyone in the military department were much more stable, and sure enough, the Southern Continent was already an auspicious thing.

But he heard Wang Xuan continue: "The population of the Southern Continent is nearly 10 million, not to mention the conscription of 100,000, 50,000 is always feasible, but it will not be able to support the mainland within two years, and there are still some unfinished matters that need to be dealt with. ”

Han Zhigang listened, and the blood that had been cold for several years became hot again.

He has received a war report from the Southern Continent, the Air Force gave him a hard face in the battle of Sun Moon City, this time His Majesty brought up this matter again, it is by no means the usual comforting words, it is reasonable for the Air Force to play the time.

"Five years from Central, the Jixiang Army will reach the scale of 100,000, the Southern Continent 50,000, and the Mainland 50,000, and the military must achieve this. In addition, Song Feng and the others have already heard the news that they will soon arrive in the Bay Area, so the research and development and construction of naval warships cannot be stopped, and the number of only about fifty ships is not enough to guard the auspicious long coastline. ”

Zhao Qiang knew that as the Southern Continent gradually integrated into Jixiang, Jixiang's overall strength would more than double, and the corresponding Jixiang, who started with the navy, would not let the lifeline of the navy stagnate.

"The Air Force is a new branch of the armed forces, and its dependence on equipment is extremely high, which requires the Air Force Department to work closely with the Research Institute to continue to improve the performance of hot air balloons, increase the load capacity and power plant, and study flight control devices. ”

Han Zhigang carefully memorized every word of His Majesty's words, and it is not surprising that the Air Force has had to train in the southern continent for the past two years, and it is impossible to say that the combat steps in various environments have to be repeated in turn.

He is under a lot of pressure, and the Air Force trains a qualified pilot at no less cost than a Viper.

"Don't look at the auspicious scenery now, but they have never given up their attempts and plans to encroach on us, and we must not let our guard down. As a soldier, there is only one mission, and that is to defend your home and country, which is not only your home but also my home, and to defend both your country and my country. ”

At this point, all the generals stood up together and said loudly: "Guard Your Majesty, guard auspiciousness, protect the family and defend the country, and after death, it has been ......."
