Chapter 123 The development of the military industry, the military adds goods

Although he is now taking the route of the magic industry, he has not pulled down and forgotten the development plan and design of the technology industry.

Whenever he comes up with a new idea, Goodern adds a few to keep in the future.

And now, the basic industry in Qingyuan Town has stabilized, and it may be possible to spare manpower to develop this line of technology.

However, the development of the science and technology industry is not as simple as the magic industry, and many complex mechanical industries have only been achieved after nearly a hundred years of development.

Qingyuan Town, which has started to develop from scratch, still has a long way to go in this step.

The plan took a long time, and Goodborn dealt with it for two days before finalizing the development route and handing it over to the institute to start promoting.

At the same time, the research institute has also thoroughly understood the principle of the magic module, and has designed three different weapons.

It has to be said that the development ideas of human beings are still very common.

Gooden only gave some ideas for development, and the specific operations were all designed by the personnel of the research institute.

But the firearms produced can have seven or eight points of charm like the weapons of the Blue Star, and the internal mechanisms are also somewhat similar.

The three weapon templates are: the three generations of fully automatic magic rifles, magic heavy machine guns, and magic pistols.

The appearance structure of the third-generation magic weapon jumped directly from World War II weapons to modern weapons, although the second generation has only been fully installed for less than half a month, but the weapon, the stronger the better.

These outdated weapons can be left as training weapons, or as spare weapons, and can be distributed to residents for use in case of emergency.

Recruiting residents to serve as temporary military forces is the norm on the continent at present, and although there is not much combat effectiveness, it can always increase some momentum.

However, for Goodern, recruiting residents to serve as temporary military forces is not an increase in momentum, and magic weapons are easy to operate, and they can basically be familiar with it with just a few shots.

As for the hit rate?

This thing is negligible, in a thermal weapons war, it is not a matter of a few bullets that determine the victory, but a massive amount of suppression to hinder the enemy.

Compared with the second-generation weapons, the third-generation weapon not only improves the automatic burst function, but also adds the function of three bursts to ensure the suppressive power of precision attacks.

In addition to the improvement of the automatic burst function, it has also been improved in the magic structure.

The original structure was to charge one shot at a time to ensure the stability of the circulation of the magic array structure, but the cost of this is that it is difficult to launch in bursts.

While a quick pull of the trigger can also achieve a rapid-fire effect, it is a huge waste of time and energy.

And even then, there will be gaps between bursts.

In order to improve this, the firearm design team in charge of the research institute directly and drastically modified the magic circle node.

Although they don't know magic, there is an explanation of the finished product here, and as long as you follow the rules, there will be no problems.

So under this guarantee, the internal structure of the entire three generations of magic weapons has undergone huge changes, and the magic module in the original bolt receiver has been directly canceled, and replaced by a new module - magazine!

The research staff placed the module that provided the mana on top of the magazine, and adjusted it so that one magazine could support just 30 rounds of mana.

Moreover, the magic array structure in the gun has also been optimized, and the materials required in the single machine have increased the shooting life of the whole gun while reducing the loss of consumables.

The firing life of the second-generation weapon is about one round, but after modification and optimization, the overall shooting can reach more than four rounds.

After reaching four rounds, the Magic Circle module inside the receiver and the charge module inside the magazine are replaced.

The principle is very simple, because it is separated from the charging module, the magic circle in the receiver of the burning bolt no longer needs to bear the burden of the elemental nodes all the time.

This increases its life in disguise, and the charging module in the magazine is not endlessly used by holding a magazine, and it is theoretically equipped with three magazines as standard.

After repeated use, it will be all

After using the upper lifespan, it has almost reached the lifespan of four rounds.

This addition to the upper limit of life was also something Goodern did not expect, but it was also designed in such a way that it not only reduced wear and tear, but also extended the replacement time.

The charging module of the three magazines plus the replacement of the bolt receiver parts at one time can only support the firing life of 3,000 rounds on the second-generation rifle.

This change directly increases the shooting line by one-third, which is a big change.

In addition, the structure of the whole gun is similar, it belongs to the stockless rear magazine, but because it does not need a charge, the size of a magazine is only ten centimeters, and it is extremely convenient for soldiers to carry.

Due to the excellent design performance of the three generations of magic weapons, the other two types are not so good.

However, they all meet his design standards, such as the long range of heavy machine guns, and the firing life must be more than 10,000 rounds, and they must also ensure zero cooldown.

In addition to increasing the pressure of the internal detossion chamber, the wind element is pushed when the bullet passes through the barrel, which not only increases the muzzle velocity and range, but also assists in reducing the temperature of the barrel.

As for the service life, a series casing structure is used to automatically switch after reaching the upper limit of life, so as to ensure that the output to the upper limit of the casing does not need to stop to replace the module.

In addition to using the wind element to cool down, it also brings the water element and ice element to stabilize the temperature, so that the heavy machine gun can finish 10,000 rounds without stopping.

However, compared with the excellent savings of the third-generation rifle, the heavy machine gun does not have this design, and it is estimated that the price of a heavy machine gun can be equal to the cost of twenty third-generation rifles.

But even then, Goodern had to order the construction of a mass-produced plant, which was the most effective suppressive weapon against a massive enemy.

Compared to the short-shot suppression of the magic rifle, the stability and lethality of the heavy machine gun are the most important.

However, fortunately, the production of third-generation rifles can directly upgrade the factory of second-generation rifles, which can save a lot of materials and manpower and material resources.

In this way, the new plant only needs to meet the supporting production of heavy machine guns and pistols, which the research institute has already started with a joint construction team.

Although the great development of military research is rapid, Goodern still has some regrets.

The key magic artillery project and the research of gunpowder weapons still have no clue about the development of these two directions.

In this regard, Gooden only regretted it slightly, but now that there is enough time, he is not in such a hurry.

After completing his daily business, Goodern was about to visit the research institute when the castle guards came to report and Walsh came to ask for an audience.

It's been half a month since Walsh took away manganese steel last time, what are you doing this time?

Intrigued, Goodern went to the meeting room to meet with him.

"Baron Goodern, your Qingyuan Town has changed so much, it's only been a long time, and I can't even recognize it."

As soon as he entered, Goodern heard Walsh's lament about the changes in Qingyuan Town.

"Qingyuan Town has been abandoned for so many years, and with the population of Snow Valley Town, it is normal for it to develop so quickly."

Gooden smiled at Walsh's exclamation and casually coped with it.

"Officer Walsh, do you have any new collaborations this time?"

Taking the hot tea from the maid, Gooden asked the other party what he meant.

"As the lord who has insight into traitors, the military department is very optimistic about manganese steel, and it has greatly reduced the casualties in the ranks of the soldiers who are ahead, and the military department plans to add another batch."

Walsh said a compliment, and then made his intentions clear.

And Goodern heard a different message from it, casualties?

The emperor *** team has already converted manganese steel into equipment and installed it in the army for actual combat?

To this question, Gooden couldn't help but ask.

"The military department will equip the army with manganese steel so quickly to go to actual combat? How quickly did the war break out on the front?

"No, the front line is still preparing for war, it's winter, for the empire, it's a great loss to attack at this time, and the official expedition to the north will not be until next year."

Walsh shook his head and continued.

"Now the outbreak is a small scout conflict, and the troops equipped with manganese steel are to do terrain reconnaissance for large forces, as well as enemy military surveys, and it is inevitable to encounter battles."

"However, thanks to the protection of manganese steel equipment, two teams of personnel who conducted in-depth investigation relied on protection or came back and brought important information, and the upper echelons of the military department were very happy, so they decided to continue to add manganese steel."

The previous secret Gudern could not know, but after a brief understanding of Walsh's mouth, he realized that the preparation alone was already so intense.

"Manganese steel can play a role in the army, and I am also very happy, let's say, how much manganese steel the military department plans to order now, I will definitely prepare it as soon as possible."

In the battle between the two countries, as the lord of the empire, he naturally had to 'help', after all, the orcs had launched an ambush against him, and his favorability naturally dropped very low.

Of course, in addition to all kinds of cute beast girls, there is still a difference between low favor and hatred.

"The price is the same as before, because the military department is very optimistic about manganese steel, so it plans to directly order all the manganese steel production in Qingyuan Town within two months."

All manganese steel production in two months?!

When Gooden heard this, his face was slightly strange, and now in order to ensure the stability of steel in the construction of Qingyuan Town, the share of manganese steel has been greatly reduced, and it will produce more than 20 tons at most in a month.

But compared to the 10,000 pounds that the military department first ordered, it was more than three times the amount.

And ...... order for two months at once, that is more than 40 tons, according to the price of 430,000 gold, that is more than 260,000 orders.

Thinking of this, Goodern opened his mouth to explain.

"Officer Walsh, Qingyuan Town's population and technology have improved slightly, and the output of manganese steel has also risen, so I'm afraid the order for two months will be ......."

"It's okay, the military department has approved an appropriation of 200,000 gold this time, how much manganese steel you can take out, you can take as much as you can take this appropriation, but the military department hopes that you can take it all."

Facing the smiling Walsh, Goodern also knew why he dared to open his mouth to contract two months' production capacity.

With an appropriation of 200,000 gold, if he hadn't built a smelter, I'm afraid that making up 30,000 or 40,000 pounds of manganese steel in two months would be the limit.

But now...... The 200,000 are settled!

got the other party's approval online, and Gooden didn't hide it, but directly picked it out.

"Okay, since the military department needs manganese steel, I will also do my best to help, so that in a month, you let the military department's transport team come to Qingyuan Town, and I will definitely arrange 200,000 gold manganese steel."

"Well, that's right...... Well? Wait a minute? A month later?!"

Walsh, who didn't react for a moment, froze in place after hearing it clearly.

He heard him right, right? Gooden went so far as to say that he would deliver 200,000 gold of manganese steel in a month......

"Baron Goodern, you're not kidding, are you?"

Taking a deep breath, Walsh asked with a look like you were joking with me.

"No, in this way, it is still the same as before, draw up a contract, and after a month, if you can't make up the same amount of manganese steel, the price of manganese steel will be calculated according to two gold."

This guarantee made Walsh a little unconfident, if it was at the price of two gold, Goodern would have to prepare 100,000 pounds of manganese steel, which was 40,000 pounds faster than the price of three gold.

This kind of joke is not a casual joke, but since Goodern is confident that he will eat this order, as the person in charge, he is happy to see it.

Then take out the contract, start filling in the details, and prepare the contract.

After a brief discussion of some details, the two signed their names and seals as proof.

For an order of 200,000 yuan, Gooden asked for a large amount in addition to the normal payment of iron and charcoal

amount of silver and copper ingots, as well as additional gold for magic metal.

Of course, Goodern's purchase is naturally a type that is quite good in terms of performance, and if it is exchanged for a little inferior magic metal, it will probably be able to buy about twenty or thirty kilograms at most.

The reason why magic metal is so expensive is that it is difficult to form and requires only a little bit to use.

For example, the Mithril Staff given to him by Morse, although the weight is about half a catty, the main structure is not made of pure Mithril, but is made of harder and more expensive silver iron.

Mithril has only a few grams of it at most, and it is used to block corrosion and speed up the flow of elements.

The magic metal he bought was intended to be used on some magic parts that needed to run for a long time, and less than a kilogram of magic metal was enough to last for a long time.

The plan to buy magic metal has been prepared, but unfortunately the wallet is not enough, and now it happens to meet the order of the military department, and Gooden simply proposes it together.

After the contract was signed, Goodern arranged for Walsh to be taken to rest and entertain.

After all, when you come to Qingyuan Town, you still have to entertain you well, and the maintenance of interpersonal relationships is still very necessary.

Goodern then summoned Joseph Sr. to inform the manganese steel smelter and told them to fire at full power and try to complete it within three days.

He gave the military a month to avoid making them too alarmed.

According to the current success, 60,000 pounds of manganese steel is only less than 30 tons, according to the performance of the smelter, this smelting task is simply trivial.

He even said that if Gooden was really in a hurry and asked the smelters to work overtime, this bit of manganese steel would be completed tomorrow morning.

It's just that Gooden, who has suffered from overtime, still rarely asks urban residents to work overtime, and even when it comes to emergency construction and construction work, it is only three shifts.

Of course, with the exception of the research freaks who were completely addicted to the research institute, Gooden ordered them to take a break three times and twice, but it still didn't end the overtime......
