Chapter 20 Equipment 2

The largest body of the turtledove is about 16 pounds, four feet two inches long, five feet five inches long, and weighs 26~27 pounds. The outer diameter of the mouth is more than one inch and three points, the diameter is more than six points, and the outer diameter of the bottom of the gun is more than two inches.

The turtledove is powerful, with a range of up to 400 meters, which can shoot through plate armor at close range, and can still shoot through planks or light armor at a distance of 200 meters.

It is an effective weapon to deal with Houjin, which can be used in the Ming Dynasty, the economy is declining, and it will not be able to be equipped with turtledoves.

Wang Luo listened to the data of the turtledove system, and felt more and more, isn't this a weakened version of the heavy sniper rifle, at this time, I thought, with a long sniper rifle, a rifle, and a grenade?

Wang Luo pulled Master Gu to draw a machine gun and a grenade and asked, "Master Gu, do you have these two things in the Ming Dynasty?"

As a result, there is really a weakened version of the grenade, and the principle is the same, with small steel balls added to it, iron pieces and the like to add lethality.

The machine guns of the Ming Dynasty had axes to slash the enemy in close combat, and Thunderbolt Tong with 28 to 38 rounds of ammunition at a time in distance combat.

Its weakened version is not to say that the firepower is weak, and the firepower cannot be maintained. After using it, it is troublesome to refill and takes too long.

Hearing this, Wang Luo became even more depressed, and said that the Ming Dynasty needs to climb science and technology? Wang Luo used to think that Daming couldn't beat Houjin, because technology was not enough, and he needed to climb the relationship with science and technology.

Now it seems that the technology of the Ming Dynasty is not weak, but it is terrifyingly strong, far away, the weapons are available, and they are all very strong, at least in this period, foreigners are using musket ropes, which is better than firepower, and the Ming Dynasty is better.

Wang Luo asked, "Then Master Gu, how many bird systems can you make in a month?" ”

Looking back at the leader's words: "The bird is mainly in charge, and the control needs to be forged repeatedly, not only to roll round, but also to cut the interface without gaps, at the beginning of the craft is not proficient, four to five a month." ”

"When you become proficient, you will be able to build ten bird systems in a month," said Master Gu

"Then Master Gu, give you time, can you study how to build the turtledove system?" Wang Luo asked

"As long as you have enough time and a drawing in your hand, you can study it," said Master Gu.

Listening to Master Gu's words, Wang Luo was relieved, at this time, he mainly dealt with the Ming army, and the Ming army cut corners seriously, and it could be dealt with by relying on the bird system. But to deal with Houjin, you must rely on the turtledove system.

Wang Luo watched for a long time, and finally knew what was wrong: "Master Gu, why don't you have an apprentice, only a helper is helping?" ”

Speaking of apprentices, Master Ji's face turned pale, tears rolled out of his eyes, and he lowered his head and cried.

At this time, the supervisor next to him stepped forward and said: "Chief, Master Gu's child has never come back after the Battle of Salhu in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, and he went out with the Ming army. ”

Touched by the sadness, Master Gu's knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground, crying.

When he is over half a hundred years old, he loses his son when he is old, and this heartache is unimaginable to others.

The battle of Sarhu was a pain for everyone in the north, and every household at that time had white sails.

Wang Luo picked up Master Gu and said, "Master Gu, I'm sorry to mention your sad past." ”

At this time, Master Gu crawled over and cried to Wang Luo: "My lord, you are the most common army I have ever seen, I hope that one day, you can take us to kill Jiannu, if the old man can avenge his son, he is willing to die."

Wang Luo looked at Master Gu who couldn't cry, yes, the Ming army and Houjin failed one by one, and in the end they didn't dare to go out to fight with Houjin, and they were even more invincible.

Wang Luo exhaled a breath and said to the steward: "Steward, you can recruit a group of people from the city again, the existing people, each master is assigned two, and the masters can strictly control the quality." ”

Wang Luo walked out of the room quickly, very sad in his heart, the Ming Dynasty's military action against the Houjin was defeated again and again, if there is no change, there will be more and more people like Lao Gu in the future.

Wang Luo walked around the iron room again, and finally came to the finished product.

I saw rows of Yanling knives, Yanling knives, cold weapons, and a kind of knife on the knife holder. The blade is straight, the tip of the knife has a curve, and there is a reverse blade, which is named because it resembles a goose. It was prevalent in the Ming Dynasty and was worn by both officials and soldiers.

The Yanling knife first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, and in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the bottom measurement became the military equipment of the soldiers, and the tip of the knife was 15 to 20 centimeters long from the back of the knife. The back of the knife is cut multiple times, which is generally called a counter edge.

Wang Luo carefully looked at the knife in his hand, the knife was shining, there was a learning groove in the knife, and Qingqing waved it, and there was a pleasant sound to hear it.

"Are all the Yanling knives made by a craftsman?" Wang Luo looked at the knife in his hand and asked.

The steward replied, "Yes, Chief. ”

Wang Luo asked: "Why don't you separate the craftsmanship of the knife, unify the size and size, and let one person assign one step, so that it is not more proficient and the assembled weapon is faster." ”

It's not surprising to use an assembly line to produce, you must know that the ancient Great Qin Empire did this, and you must know that Great Qin can dominate the world, in addition to proper strategy and soldiers' lives, it is to rely on this terrible productivity to consume you.

The strongest weapon of Great Qin is the Arrow Crossbow Array, after a battle, countless arrows were lost, but because the Qing Empire used a uniform size, the bow and arrow, which part of the broken can be dismantled, and then transplanted from the new, it can be used.

But later, after the destruction of the Great Qin Empire, this technology was lost.

The steward stopped but froze, and said distressedly: "Lord Chief, this is very difficult to do, you must know that each craftsman, the method of building is different, the parts are different in size and shape, mixed together, I am afraid it is difficult to put together, and the Yanling knife is only to go to the responsibility system, and then the handle of the knife, there is the name and production date of the builder on the gram, this Yanling knife will go directly to him if something happens." ”

"If you follow the procedure of the leader and one person, when there is a problem with the Yanling knife, I am afraid that you will not be able to find the person in charge."

Wang Luo listened and said directly: "Since there is a difference, then there is no difference, give each part a standard, qualified use, unqualified will be redone, as long as the parts can meet the unified standard, there will be no problem in assembling." ”

"And those masters, who are the final gatekeepers, must strictly abide by the bottom line, you must know that the weapons that go out of your hands will be the weapons of the soldiers to kill the enemy in the future."

The steward listened to Wang Luo's words, and reason told him that the leader did the right thing, but he had not done anything for thousands of years, and he was still very worried in his heart.

After thinking about it, the steward asked, "But how is this standard set?" Please also ask the leader to try it. ”

Wang Luo resisted the urge to roll his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Isn't there a lot of masters? Just gather them together and let them negotiate a standard on their own, and there will be people in the future, who will be professional, and one person will be responsible for the same procedure. ”

After listening to Wang Luo's explanation, the steward finally understood, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the leader's reminder." ”

Wang Luo looked at this elm head, and was angry, but in the manufacture of this kind of weapon, he could really only use this kind of elm head that did not know how to change.

Wang Luo said to the steward: "You call all the people in the factory." ”

Soon the steward summoned all the craftsmen, and in front of Wang Luo, there was a crowd kneeling on the ground.

Looking at these gray-haired old men, Master Gu was also in the crowd, compared to the fear of others, Master Gu was much better. Because he knew that the leader in front of him was as good-tempered as the rumors.

Wang Luo looked at the old man in front of him: "Helplessly, let's all get up." ”

After the craftsman got up again, Wang Luo walked up to a gray-haired old man and asked, "Old man, how long have you been a craftsman?" ”

The old craftsman said in fear: "Back to the adult, the younger one is also a family of military craftsmen for generations, and at the age of sixteen, he and his father learned craftsman skills, and it has been forty-two years since this year."

Wang Luo looked at the white-haired old craftsmen, all of whom were old, and they were all grandfathers in the later generations, and they were all retired to take care of the elderly.

Wang Luo asked suspiciously, "Old man, are you so old?" Can you still afford to wield a hammer? ”

Listened to Wang Luo's words: "Back to the adult's words, although the small one is sixty this year, the sledgehammer can't dance, but the small hammer is still no problem, please don't dismiss me." ”

Wang Luodao said with a smile: "The weapon factory does not raise idlers, but as long as you are capable, the weapon factory" is required, not to mention the master you have been operating for decades, it is a treasure that you can't ask for. ”

Wang Luo turned his head to the steward and said, "You first count the old craftsmen who have worked in the factory for more than 30 years, and from next month, the grain will be doubled." ”

Hearing this, the old craftsmen knelt on the ground excitedly, remained silent for a long time, and some even shed tears.

In the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of craftsmen is very low, in addition to eating a little ration every month, a little bit of pitiful broken money, and then ten years ago, it is Wanli years, Wanli is a master of making money, at that time the money and grain are still paid, but after layers of corruption, there is not much in the hands of craftsmen, and the life can still be tight.

But four years after the Apocalypse, the imperial court never paid food and salary again, not only to help the imperial court work, but also from time to time by officials to pull back to him for other use, and only when he was busy could he go out to do odd jobs.

It can also be said that in the past few years, the craftsmen have come hungry and full.

When Wang Luo captured Qingyang County, since the food and salary were a lot of flower arrangement, he could also increase his salary. Such a good thing has never been heard of by the old craftsman for decades.

Zai Daming craftsmen have no status and belong to the lower nine popular columns, I didn't expect the leader to take such a fancy to them, and now except for those who are soldiers, they are treated the best in the county.

Looking at the excited craftsmen in front of him, Wang Luo sighed in his heart, you must know that in the past, those scholars who could make arms and weapons were all national treasures.

The country is too late to supply, how can it bend over for this little bit of rice.
